Now that Wen Qingcheng had money, the family began to plan to build a house. Ye Xiuying planned to invite her third uncle to go to the village head's house. The third uncle was the previous village head and was more knowledgeable about choosing a residential site.

"In this way, your third uncle will definitely know that we have money and will ask us where the money comes from."

Wen Qingcheng smiled and said, "Mom, even if we hide this from Third Uncle, the villagers will know about such a big thing as applying for a homestead to build a house sooner or later. Our lives will get better and better in the future. We can't keep a low profile."

"Mom thinks so too. Besides, your Third Uncle is a very upright person. It will be fine if we tell him the truth."

The mother and daughter made up their minds, and after a simple breakfast, Ye Xiuying took Wen Qingcheng to her third uncle's house.

Uncle San was very surprised that they wanted to choose a homestead. "Why do you suddenly want to build a house? You can't just build a house. You need enough money. My old house is empty anyway, so you can just live there peacefully."

"Uncle San, we understand your good intentions. To be honest with you, we have already prepared the money to build a house. For the long term, we still want to build a house of our own."

"How much did you...how much did you sell your fungus for?" Third Uncle felt that it was inappropriate to ask this, but he still couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"To be honest, we don't make money from selling fungus, but from selling ginseng," said Ye Xiuying.

Third uncle was stunned. "Ginseng?"

Wen Qingcheng then told the uncle about the ginseng in the deep forest in the back mountain. The uncle was surprised and said, "I didn't expect there is ginseng in the back mountain. Even if the villagers saw it, people who don't know about medicinal herbs wouldn't be able to recognize the ginseng plant."

"Qingcheng was able to recognize medicinal herbs after reading a book on medicinal herbs owned by her father." Ye Xiuying reached out and touched the back of Wen Qingcheng's head, looking at her daughter proudly.

After hearing this, the uncle took a deep breath and said, "You are not a simple girl. You can even read. People often say that knowledge can change your destiny."

"My father taught me to read when I was little."

Third Uncle didn’t know the original owner Wen Qingcheng very well. When he suddenly learned this unexpected information, his face was full of admiration, and his thumb almost poked Wen Qingcheng’s face.

"Uncle San, with you here, we feel more confident. We mothers and I don't really understand either," said Ye Xiuying.

"We are all family. Your application for homestead is a big deal. I must go with you."

The group went to the headman's house. The gate was not locked. The third uncle shouted outside the door, and soon a middle-aged man with a dark face came out. He was Xu Feng, the headman of Yueya Village.

"Brother Wen, why are you here? Please come in."

Xu Feng saw his third uncle jogging towards them. His third uncle was his old leader and had helped him a lot. The village head Xu Feng was very enthusiastic towards them and asked his wife, Sun, to serve them tea.

Uncle San briefly introduced Wen Qingcheng and his group, and briefly explained the purpose of the trip. Ye Xiuying handed over the household registration documents. "Xu Lizheng, thank you for your concern."

"Have you separated from your mother-in-law and uncle?"

Without waiting for Ye Xiuying to answer, the Third Uncle gave Xu Lizheng a precise answer. The Third Uncle was the patriarch of the Wen family, and with his testimony, Xu Lizheng did not ask any more questions.

The application for homestead must meet the requirements before it can be approved. If the family has not been divided, you naturally cannot apply for it.

Xu Lizheng learned that Ye Xiuying's husband had no news and no one knew whether he was dead or alive. Now she had the money to choose a homestead and rebuild the house. I think she had a lot of savings. Although he was curious, he didn't say anything more. After confirming that the household registration documents were correct, he quickly stamped the procedures.

"You are here today. There is another family from another village who wants to settle down here and buy a homestead. So you came first and you can choose a place first."

"Your family consists of women and children. There are two safe places here. Which one can you choose?" Xu Lizheng took a look at the family. Ye Xiuying and Wen Qingcheng were obviously frail women, and Chuyi was an adult man, but he was stupid and foolish, and he had a child with him.

Several people came to the place to choose the residential land, which was a scaled-down 3D map of Crescent Village, with mountains, rocks, rivers, and a wooden house model.

"Look, this is the north, and this house is Brother Wen's old house." Xu Lizheng pointed, and Wen Qingcheng's family quickly turned over.

"Here, the neighbors are all elderly people, very kind, but the place is not very big, so if your family lives together, you can squeeze in."

"Is there a bigger one?"

Ye Xiuying had a long-term plan. When she was gone in the future and Zicheng grew up and got married, they would build another house. The first house would be for Wen Qingcheng and his wife to live in, so that the brother and sister would be able to live next to each other and take care of each other after they got married.

"I'm also considering my two children, and I also want to have a bigger yard and cultivate a vegetable garden. If conditions permit, I can build a pigpen behind the house in the future." Ye Xiuying expressed her plan.

At this time, Sun, who was carrying tea, was a little surprised when she heard what Ye Xiuying said, wondering if a woman like her could afford to build such a big house. Although she was curious, she didn't interrupt. She put down the tea, smiled and gave it to Ye Xiuying, and stood aside quietly to listen.

"If you want something bigger, there is one. Not only can it accommodate two siblings, but even four siblings can live there."

The next one is the one near the river, but it is far away from the neighbors and the location is a bit off.

Ye Xiuying and Wen Qingcheng looked at each other, and Wen Qingcheng said, "It doesn't matter if it's a little off, as long as it's spacious."

"This residential land was originally an oil mill, with a residence in the front and an oil pressing workshop in the backyard. It has been abandoned for more than 20 years."

"Can we go to the scene and take a look before making a decision?" Wen Qingcheng asked.

"of course can."

Xu Lizheng led a group of people to the residential land. Wen Qingcheng knew that it had been abandoned for twenty years. She expected it to be desolate and dilapidated, but she didn't expect it to be so dilapidated.

A large section of the courtyard wall was broken and the house was dilapidated, a dangerous building. It was strange that there were many people where three generations of a family lived in one house. The house was in good condition, but once no one lived in it, it became dilapidated in more than 20 years.

Ye Xiuying was very satisfied. She removed the weeds, demolished what needed to be demolished, and repaired what needed to be repaired. Once it was completed, it would be very comfortable to live here.

Xu Lizheng walked to the front and reached out to brush away the spider webs on the door beam. There were also several puddles of feces on the ground, which might have been from animals or humans.

Xu Lizheng covered his mouth and nose lightly. "This house has been abandoned for a long time. Many children jumped in from the wall to play. Clean it up. It's quite good. It has north-south ventilation and good lighting."

Ye Xiuying and Wen Qingcheng exchanged glances, and Ye Xiuying said, "This place is great, let's go here."

"We can live here after repairing the wall and the roof. If you don't know any craftsmen, I can recommend one to you."

"That's great. Thank you for troubling Xu Lizheng."

"If it's settled, we'll go through the formalities first, and then you can slowly build the house and do some repairs later."
