At this time, the cousin Wen Zhuo, who had been standing aside, heard Wen Qingcheng's plan, coughed lightly, and couldn't help interrupting: "Do you know how much it will cost if we do this? At least seventy or eighty taels."

Wen Zhuo walked over to Ye Xiuying again. "I heard that Qingcheng made money by treating wealthy businessmen, but you can't spend it like this. Why do you let your child do whatever he wants? I think it's better to build an ordinary bungalow."

"Brother, I know you're doing this for our own good, but Qingcheng has been looking forward to this house for a long time, so just let her have her way. When I'm gone, they can live there too. This way, we can get it done right away, and we can earn money slowly."

"Just spoil her." Wen Zhuo said nothing more after hearing this and began to look forward to what the house would look like after it was built.

Master Guo was really happy to hear this. This was a big project and he could make a lot of money by taking it.

"I'll take your sketch back and I'll re-draw it, mark the dimensions, and perfect the details. You can take a look at it then. If you trust me with the building materials, I'll help you buy them."

"That will make us less worried." Ye Xiuying was overjoyed when she heard that.

"I'll also go back and make a list of building materials. Once you've checked and found no problems, we can start construction. Tomorrow, I'll have my two apprentices demolish the old house and keep any building materials that can be used, so we don't have to spend more money on buying them later."

"Master Guo is a reliable man, and he was introduced by my brother. We can rest assured, hahaha." Seeing that Master Guo was very professional, Ye Xiuying felt at ease to hand the job to him.

......

The news that Wen Qingcheng's family was going to build a house soon spread throughout the village. Zhang Sufen was the first to hear the news outside. Without saying much, she turned around and walked quickly back home.

Over at the Wen family's old house, Old Lady Wen sat cross-legged on the kang watching her grandson. Zhang Sufen walked into the door panting and couldn't wait to say, "Mom, Ye Xiuying is going to build a new house."

Boss Wen, who was sitting under the window smoking, looked up at Zhang Sufen in surprise after hearing this. "Ye Xiuying wants to build a house?"

Old Mrs. Wen was also surprised: "How can she afford to build a new house?"

These days, Old Lady Wen and Old Man Wen have felt ashamed and have not gone out for several days. Even if they go out, they go out at night or before dawn, so they are not very well-informed about the news in the village.

"I heard that it was Wen Qingcheng who cured Li Hongxiu's rich relative and gave him a lot of money."

"That money-losing guy doesn't know how to cure diseases. He is just trying to fool people." After hearing this, Old Mrs. Wen felt a little unhappy.

She would rather believe that Wen Qingcheng was a scammer than to believe that Wen Qingcheng really earned the money with her medical skills. Wouldn't that mean she had lost a golden baby? She really didn't want to admit this.

Wen Yufeng had long been angry: "Who knows if their money comes from legitimate sources? Can they make so much money just by seeing a patient? If it were all like this, the doctor in the village would have become the richest man long ago."

Zhang Sufen nodded after hearing this: "Feng'er is right. Who knows if the mother and daughter did something dirty."

Hearing this, Boss Wen snorted coldly: "Humph, as long as a woman lowers her status, there is nothing she can't make money."

The more Mrs. Wen thought about it, the angrier she got: "We have money to build a house, but no money to honor our parents. I took care of my second son, but I couldn't even keep up with his efforts."

Zhang Sufen was silent for a long while, her eyes rolled, and she said, "She may not be able to build a house if she wants to. Everyone builds a house with the help of uncles, aunts, and brothers. If she wants to hire help, it will cost a lot of money. She can't build it without fifty or sixty taels."

"Women always think simply. Building a house is not that easy. It depends on who helps her when the time comes. She can't build this house." Boss Wen blew out a smoke ring, with an expression of watching a good show.

Wen Yufeng finally smiled: "Don't let them cry over a pile of bricks and tiles when they have only half of their house built and can't afford to hire anyone."

At night, Ye Xiuying went to bed early, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She got up every half an hour and opened the small wooden box containing silver on the bedside. This was the money they needed to build the house.

Ye Xiuying was used to being poor. She could sleep peacefully when she had no money before. But now that she suddenly had so much money, she felt anxious and couldn't sleep.

Zicheng turned over, his brows furrowed, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, as if he had a nightmare.

Ye Xiuying picked up the fan and fanned Zicheng, patting his back gently. Gradually, Ye Xiuying felt sleepy, but she could not close her eyes to sleep, letting in a glimpse of the outside world.

Wen Qingcheng didn't have the habit of going to bed early, her biological clock was around 11 o'clock. As usual, she sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced Qigong. Long-term persistence could double the body's strength.

Little did they know that at this moment, outside the courtyard, several dark shadows were approaching.

"That's the family. They made a fortune, and they are all women and children."

"Why did I hear there was a man?"

"That man is the young wife's husband. He's just a fool. He'll go in and get the money. You give me 40% and you can do whatever you want with the young wife."

The two men became more and more excited as they talked. One of them squatted on the ground while the other stepped on someone's shoulder to go in. They opened the gate quietly and both of them sneaked in smoothly.

Wen Qingcheng vaguely heard a noise outside. In the moonlight, she saw a figure swaying on the window screen. Her pair of black eyes suddenly became sharp.

He quickly put on his shoes, ran to the door, picked up the wooden stick behind the door, and looked out through the crack in the door.

Two dark shadows approached the door. Wen Qingcheng tightened her grip on the stick. Suddenly, the two men in black turned around.

Behind the two of them, a tall figure appeared, looking at them with amusement. "It's okay, it's that idiot."

"I'll hold him back, and you go in and get the money."

"This idiot saw us and started yelling. The people inside will definitely wake up."

"What's there to be afraid of? They are two women, so it's not convenient for me to go in. We are from the same village. It would be bad if they recognized me."

"Okay." The man in black was about to kick the door open when Chuyi came forward and grabbed each of them by the collar.

Wen Qingcheng opened the door and looked at the two people with a serious face. "What do you do?"

"Silk......"

The leading thief was a little surprised. Aren't young girls afraid of robbers these days? He pulled out a shiny dagger from his waist and stabbed Chuyi.

Chuyi dodged nimbly and kicked both of them in the knees. They both knelt in front of Wen Qingcheng.

The two were somewhat disrupted and got up in a panic. One of the masked thieves with a big head said viciously: "Girl, take out the money quickly, otherwise, no one in your family will survive."

Wen Qingcheng frowned and said calmly: "Feng Tuzi, it turns out you have a side job, and you're a thief. You really surprise me."

After being discovered, Feng the butcher touched the black cloth on his face with some suspicion, thinking: How can I still recognize him when his face is covered?

Feng Tuzi took off his scarf and stopped pretending. "Now that you've seen through me, don't blame me."
