Early the next morning, Jiang Yue found Meng Dazhuang and asked him to repair the courtyard wall.

The backyard wall is very low, only reaching the calf, symbolically marking the family's territory. Although no blind villagers come in, there are always envious villagers who pass by and look at the backyard. Jiang Yue has wanted to fence it off for a long time, and this time when she is about to start the construction, she simply asks the villagers to build the backyard wall first.

Afterwards, Jiang Yue went to the county town and hired a group of workers to repair the pavilion. Some workers dug ponds, some built pavilions. In order to make water more convenient for the family, she also hired a professional to dig a well.

Cai took a three-pronged approach. She asked her sister-in-law from the village to cook lunch for the workers, and Jiang Yue also made trips to the county town to buy back truckloads of saplings and flower seedlings.

There is a kind of thorny rose surrounding the courtyard wall. When they grow tall and climb up the wall, they will not only look beautiful but also protect against thieves. The remaining fruit tree seedlings are planted in the backyard, with each tree every two or three meters. Even so, there is still a large open space in the backyard.

The flower seedlings were planted in the front yard, and the house immediately became more upscale. Our house was even more magnificent than that of the landlord.

Jiang Xue looked at the pigsty in the east and said, "Now our pigs look really dirty."

Jiang Lei continued: "There is also a chicken coop..."

Cai pretended to be angry and raised the net in her hand and said, "You've only had enough food for a few days and you dare to look down on our pigs?"

Jiang Yue smiled. Isn't that right? Back then, in that backyard, her mother took care of pigs and chickens, and now she still does the same. But she doesn't even think it stinks anymore. Habits are terrible.

After repairing the courtyard wall, digging a pond and building a pavilion, Jiang Youshan hired someone to provide shelter for the family.

Villagers came in waves, making the whole day lively.

Aunt Cai and her family also came to help. They were sincerely happy for Cai. When they finished cleaning up, they said, "That's great."

Jiang Yue said: "Aunt, have you ever thought about settling down in our village or somewhere nearby?"

This was a decision Jiang Yue had considered carefully. Jiang Yue didn't want outsiders to be at home. But Cai was clearly very concerned about her grandmother and grandfather, so for Cai's sake, Jiang Yue couldn't send the old couple back to Aunt Cai's home.

If Aunt Cai's family could move here and become one village, and Grandma Cai and Grandpa Cai could stay at Aunt Cai's house for a while, then Mrs. Cai wouldn't have to worry anymore.

Moreover, she also noticed that Grandma Cai and Master Cai were very reserved in their own home. They always took care of Jiang Youshan's face, but Jiang Youshan was flattered. The two sides were overly humble and had a twisted relationship.

Although Aunt Cai and Wan Fubao are also honest people, perhaps because they lost the pillars of the family when they were young, they know how to resist and protect their families, and the poverty of their lives has not affected their character.

When Grandma Cai and Mr. Cai were kicked out of the house, they were able to take the old couple in to live with them, which was enough to show that they were responsible. If Mrs. Cai had not suddenly returned, Aunt Cai and Wan Fubao would have planned to take care of Grandma Cai and Mr. Cai until the end of their lives.

Jiang Yue helps people based on their character. Aunt Cai's family is good. She doesn't mind and pays for the house.

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Cousin Fuhua's marriage is settled, and cousin Fubao has also joined the workshop. It would be better for aunt to move to our village and settle down there. In the future, she will be close to cousin and my mother."

Wan Fuhua blushed immediately and went outside.

Aunt Cai was shocked. She had never thought that there would be a day when she would leave the mountain valley. Country people love their homes. As the saying goes, "A nest of gold or silver is not as good as a doghouse at home." Although her home is in the mountain valley, it is also a home that can shelter her from the wind and rain. She said in panic, "Ah, this, I, let me think..."

Cai's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she also advised: "Sister, Yue'er is right. Fuhua will get married in the future, and Fubao will not be home often because of work. Dad and mom are here with me, so don't go back to the mountain valley. Settle down in our village, and our two families can still take care of each other."

After hearing what Cai said, Aunt Cai was somewhat tempted. It would be good to move out of the mountains, but the family was so poor, where would the money come from?

Aunt Cai was panicked: "Let's talk about it later."

"From what my aunt said, I'm afraid it's not easy for cousin Fubao to find a wife in the village. I have to think about his marriage. If he settles down and builds a house, his marriage will be settled."

Wan Fubao blushed immediately, just like her sister.

Aunt Cai was dejected. Wan Fubao was already nineteen and still hadn't found a husband. Who would be willing to marry their daughter to a family living in the mountains?

Jiang Yue understood that children are a mother's weak point.

"But it's not that easy to settle down. We need the consent of your headman. Besides, it's not easy for outsiders like us to be accepted by the village..."

"That's not a problem. What do you think, grandma? If Aunt Cai settles down in our village, you and Grandpa Cai won't have to worry about her anymore, and you can even help her. With my family in front of us, there's no need to worry about Aunt Cai's family having trouble making ends meet."

"This, this is of course good, but...but will it work?"

Grandma Cai's eyes sparkled. She was really excited. Grandma Cai felt more guilty towards Aunt Cai than towards Mrs. Cai. If she hadn't listened to Uncle Cai and let Aunt Cai marry the old widower in the village, she wouldn't have been a widow so early and suffered all her life...

"Then it's settled. I'll ask the village head to handle the settlement, and I'll pay for the house. If aunt works faster, my cousin can still get married in our village."

"What?"

The three women stared at each other, what were they talking about? Is it settled now?

Aunt Cai was anxious: "Hey, hey, hey, no, I, Mom, I didn't mean that..."

Wouldn't it be offensive to leave such an important matter as settling down and buying a house to a young girl?

Grandma Cai was also dumbfounded: "Yue'er, you haven't even finished talking yet, why are you rushing out?"

Cai hummed twice in response: "Mother, elder sister, Yue'er has an idea, we just listen to her."

Aunt Cai and Grandma Cai looked at each other.

No matter what, you can't let your children do whatever they want.

After Jiang Yue finished speaking, the head of the village was stunned, and then he said: "Every head of the village hopes that the population of his village will increase. I am willing to let them settle in our village. If the village prospers, I will also be rewarded. It's just that we have to go to the county town to get the documents from both government offices."

After a pause, he continued, "Your aunt's family is an honest family. With your family's endorsement, I will naturally welcome them. They are not the family that just moved away."

The head of the village was annoyed by the noisy family. Jiang Youguang, because of the scholar, often encouraged the villagers to register the land under his name. This sounded well-intentioned, but it was actually not a small matter and caused a lot of trouble. Well, Jiang Youguang moved away with his family, and the matter of registering the land was never mentioned again.

Jiang Yue asked: "How to do it specifically?"

The head of the village twisted his beard and said, "It's easy to say. Just change Aunt Cai's family's household registration to our village. From now on, their land tax will be paid from our village. Your family is familiar with Master Zhai, so there will be no problem."

"What did the county government say in Qingzhou?"

"Just get a normal migration document there."

"Move my grandparents here too."

"It's the same. Just stamp the document there and change the household registration here."

The village head paused and asked, "So should we settle down at your house, or buy some land and build a new house?"

Jiang Yue shook her head: "I must have my own home. I'll go back and ask my cousin."

"Ah, your cousin doesn't know about this yet?"
