Old Mrs. Li thought about what happened in other families. Today, her husband came back from the market in town and told her what happened in his mother's family.

I met my eldest brother who was doing business on the street. He told me that my eldest sister's daughters-in-law had made her so angry that she fell ill.

They accuse each other of doing different jobs but eating the same food.

The cause was that the young daughter-in-law who was washing clothes found thirty copper coins, which directly became the fuse for a fight among the daughters-in-law.

Thinking of the situation at home, Mrs. Li looked at Xia Qingyu, so moved that she was speechless.

The seventh daughter-in-law was asked to take so much silver, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Qingyu, we must have done a lot of good deeds in our previous lives to have met such a good child like you."

After calming down her emotions, Old Mrs. Li lowered her head.

"Then I'll give you the 70% that belongs to you, so it will be convenient for you to buy things." Old Mrs. Li opened the wooden box, but was stopped by Xia Qingyu again.

"Mom, I still have some silver in my hand. I'll ask you for it when I'm out of money." Xia Qingyu spoke up to stop Mrs. Li's behavior.

She still had money from selling the special power bracelet, but Li Yanchuan didn't know this. He had just counted the money outside, and all of it was from the sale of the wild boar, so this was not included.

Besides, the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law probably don’t have a single penny in their pockets now, they are even cleaner than their faces.

Because of what the old lady said, they didn't say a word and bought the original owner from the Niu family in order to raise money, contributing all their savings.

A few days before she came into this world, the original owner remembered that they had discussed privately about going back to her parents' home, and they were each worried about borrowing money.

Without them, there would be no original owner, and there would be no soul from another world like her.

After all, the original owner was framed by Niu Er and others, and both of them were unconscious at the time. In the eyes of outsiders, his reputation was damaged.

It was the old lady Li and her husband who stepped forward and spent an extra five taels of silver to adopt the original owner as their goddaughter, helping her escape from the quagmire of the Niu family.

For women of this era, many regard chastity as more important than their own lives. Even if they don't want to die, they will be criticized by people around them.

"As for what my family said about keeping 70% of the profit from each house, we can do that after the house is built and everything is on track."

After the house is built, Xia Qingyu plans to check on Li Yanxi's condition. When he is back to normal, she will tell him in person to cancel the engagement.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Put the silver in the box. When you need it, just take it."

After saying this to her seventh daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li patted Xia Qingyu's hand and nodded without refusing.

"Ah."

Xia Qingyu smiled at Old Lady Li, and the two chatted for a few more words before she got up and went to the yard to help deal with things for tomorrow's use.

Shen Qingqing, who was filling oil in the kitchen, saw Xia Qingyu busy in the yard and walked towards her with a bowl.

"Qingyu, I scooped out the lard you mentioned. It smells so good. Come and try it to see how it tastes."

Meeting Shen Qingqing's expectant eyes, Xia Qingyu also noticed the curious looks from other people in the yard.

Xia Qingyu picked up a piece of lard from the bowl with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The moment he chewed it, a crisp sound was heard.

"Mm, it's delicious. I'll use it to cook vegetables or make stuffing for dumplings. It will be very fragrant."

Thinking of the many delicious foods he had seen in his previous life, Xia Qingyu nodded.

She had already eaten tonight, otherwise she would not have just tasted one piece but would have eaten more.

Returning the chopsticks to Shen Qingqing, Xia Qingyu tilted her head and signaled to the people in the yard, "You all should try it too, this lard residue is delicious."

"No, we've already eaten." Although Lin Lan also wanted to try it, she still held back.

"Just one piece, not much, try it."

Knowing that they were reluctant to eat it, Xia Qingyu felt a little sad and spoke with a smile.

"it is good."

Shen Qingqing was the first to take action. She then held the bowl and let Old Lady Li and the others taste a piece.

"Wow, Aunt Qi, it's delicious!"

Tuan Tuan's eyes lit up and he chewed a piece of lard, making a crunchy sound.

After chewing it for a long time, Yuanyuan finally swallowed it and said to Xia Qingyu with a smile: "Aunt Qi, I have chewed it and swallowed it into my stomach. I can still smell the meaty aroma in my mouth."

"Aunt Qi, this oil residue is so crispy." Arita swallowed it slowly and began to express his thoughts.

Looking at the group of people who were squinting their eyes and enjoying themselves, Xia Qingyu also noticed that Shen Qingqing and the others had not forgotten Xiaobai and the other little guys, and the corners of her lips curled up.

Li Yanxi, who was standing nearby, was looking at his wife and taking in the whole scene.

While chewing, his eyes curved into crescents, his mood was high, and the little man in his heart was spinning wildly.

Several adults were also savoring this rare delicacy and were reluctant to eat it immediately.

They would never spend money to buy such expensive meat before, ordinary pork is not this expensive, so this is the first time they have tasted something so delicious.

"What are you chewing? Why do you hear that crunching sound?"

Li Yanfeng came in from outside the yard, followed by the third brother Li Yangguang.

The two brothers who helped carry the people to Caoya Village sent Niu Wu to Jiang Xiaotang's home and returned immediately.

The two villages were about one kilometer apart, and they walked quickly, so it didn't take them even a quarter of an hour.

"Brother, let me give you this. My seventh sister-in-law said it's lard residue, and it smells really good."

Li Yanchuan explained while swallowing the food in his mouth.

When Mr. Li came back, he laughed out loud and said, "We can smell it from a long distance away. It smells so good. We must try it."

The father and his two sons went to the kitchen, and Li Yanfeng and his brother served the food left for them. Then they picked up a piece of lard and tasted it, chewing it back and forth with a crunchy taste.

They stood at the kitchen door, holding their bowls, eating and listening to their father talk.

I don’t know if the house building has been completed. On the first day of moving to Shangxing Village, my dad went to the village chief to handle this matter.

"Dad, has the village chief completed the relevant procedures for building a house?"

Seeing his father finish drinking the water, Li Yanzhu couldn't wait to ask Grandpa Li while weaving a dustpan.

"It's done. We'll officially start work tomorrow. You guys should go to bed early tonight."

As soon as Mr. Li said this, everyone knew that the land issue had been resolved.

The Shangxing Village where they moved was a notoriously poor village with very little arable land.

Xia Qingyu remembered that Lin Lan said there were not many people in Shangxing Village.

Before they moved in, the village had only fourteen households and about two hundred people, and each family could not reclaim much land each year.

Now, including the Li family, there are fifteen households in total.

There have always been policies encouraging land reclamation, so everyone is not afraid of being poor, at least they have hope in their hearts.

There is not much land and no extra idle land to be bought or sold. Mr. Li and his family have decided to build the house in the south of the village.

It was a piece of uncultivated land, overgrown with weeds, but after it was cultivated, it could be used to build houses.

The village chief Lin Yongzhong once said that if they wanted to reclaim wasteland, they could go to the county government to get special tools for reclaiming wasteland.

"Dad, Miao Lei said that almost every family in Caoya Village can send someone to help."

Li Yanfeng, who was eating, hurriedly told the number of people he knew.

"Old man, if you calculate it this way, there will probably be more than 30 people coming to help from the two villages combined."

When they heard that so many people came to help, Mrs. Li and her husband were very happy.

Thinking of a problem, Xia Qingyu slowly spoke, "With the people at home and the other craftsmen my second brother found, the borrowed bowls and chopsticks will not be enough."
