We have separated, what does it have to do with me if my husband's family eats bran?

When Cheng Yue saw the excited faces of the twenty men in front of him and the satisfied smile of the headman, what else could he not understand? He must have been brainwashed by the headman.

Seeing that only Zhang Dajiang came from the Zhang family, Cheng Yue knew what the headman meant. She sighed in her heart but said nothing.

Everyone was there. Cheng Yue and Chen An went to the open space outside the yard together. Chen Lin and his two siblings followed behind them like little tails.

The head of the village said as if to take credit: "Cheng Yue girl, we have found all the people for you. They are all good and hard-working guys in our village. I guarantee that the work will be done quickly and well!"

"Brother Chen An, sister-in-law, please let me know if you have any requests. We may not be able to do anything else, but we can definitely build a chicken coop!"

"Yes, the fort is very solid. It won't collapse even if it rains heavily!"

"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense! Why are you talking about heavy rain?"

The head of the village glared at him and asked who was so careless as to say it was raining heavily in front of everyone.

Twenty years ago in July, there were ten consecutive days of heavy rains. Houses collapsed, dams burst, and water levels surged. So many people died in their village that it’s scary to think about it.

If they hadn't lived halfway up the mountain, the entire village would have been washed away and there would probably not be a single survivor.

The man realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly said "Pooh" three times.

The rest of the people had a deep impression of the flood; they were about ten years old twenty years ago and knew how hopeless it was.

Especially Chen An, his father died like this.

If his mother hadn't forced his father to go out on a rainy day, how could his father have died? And died so tragically.

When the body was found, all the bones in its body were broken and its face was scratched beyond recognition by tree branches.

Cheng Yue felt Chen An's emotional fluctuations and squeezed his hand vigorously. Chen An came back to his senses and twitched the corners of his mouth.

Cheng Yue had the impression that there was a flood, but she didn't know that Chen An's father was gone. Seeing that everyone's spirits were not as high as before, she had to change the subject and talk about business.

"The chicken and duck coop is built on the open space over there. I have already found the positions of the four corners with wooden sticks. I will use thin hemp ropes to pull the lines and then cover them along the lines.

Then the courtyard wall can be built to a height of one person, and there is another wall in the middle, and a shed is built on the top of the west side..."

Cheng Yue gestured and spoke, saying that there was open space all around the house, so it could be built anywhere.

However, she was thinking of rebuilding the house before this winter. The current yard was too small and would definitely have to be expanded. She could only build the chicken and duck coops a little further away to avoid having insufficient space when building the house.

After saying that, Cheng Yue took out a bundle of thin hemp ropes. Liu Chunlai took them and asked Zhang Dajiang and the others to pull the ropes and tie them around the wooden stick.

After a few people surrounded the area, they realized that the open space was too big. How many chickens and ducks could they raise?

But everyone thought so and no one asked this question. They just got paid and just did their job. They should build the house as big as they were told. Other things were not their concern.

The village head looked at it for a while and said, "This is a good piece of land. We just need to clear the weeds before we build the site, especially the brambles. We need to dig them up with their roots."

Except for the yard where Cheng Yue and his family lived and the surrounding dry land, there were weeds half a person's height growing everywhere, and there were also many brambles. These things could not be cut with a sickle, otherwise there would be some hard stubble left to prick your feet.

Speaking of vitex, Chen An added: "Just bring the vitex back to the yard after you dig it up. I'll weave a few baskets then."

Chen An learned the craft from his father. He can do some carpentry and can weave baskets with ease.

Baskets woven from rattan are sturdy and can be used for a long time, so people in the village generally won't throw them away easily.

Anyway, he couldn't do anything else now, so it was a good opportunity for him to find something to do.

Liu Chunlai chuckled, "Okay, Brother Chen An, when you have made one up, just give it to me. All the stories in my family have been lost."

Zhang Dajiang kicked him on the buttocks, "You are such a troublemaker. I asked you to do some work, but you've already ordered your brother Chen An to weave baskets for you before you even start working!"

Chen An smiled helplessly and didn't bother to pay attention to Liu Chunlai. This guy was always smiling and frivolous. If you said one thing to him, he could say ten things to you.

If you keep saying that, you really shouldn't work anymore.

It’s just a basket, you can give me ten.

Liu Chunlai rubbed his butt, and as soon as he saw Chen An's expression, he knew that he had got the basket, so he immediately bent down and started pulling weeds.

Cheng Yue hurriedly said, "Don't pull out the weeds. It's too much trouble to clean up such a large area. Just clear the tall ones."

When raising chickens and ducks, a few small weeds are nothing. They are just the right size for the chickens and ducks to eat. There may also be insects and grasshoppers that can add to their meal.

After hearing what Cheng Yue said, everyone ignored the short ones and went to dig brambles.

The village head worriedly said, "We have to keep an eye on so many chickens and ducks. This is a mountain after all, and there are many weasels and big insects. Don't let them get harmed."

Cheng Yue nodded and said yes. It was not that she had not thought about free-range breeding, but it was because of this that she decided to build a wall around the yard to keep the animals enclosed.

Keeping the animals in captivity must be safe, and she feels at ease. Otherwise, she would always be worried that one day the chickens and ducks would be wiped out, and wouldn’t she be at a loss?

The village head originally said a few more words because he thought that Chen An and Cheng Yue had no elders around to give them advice, but now it seems that the couple both have plans for success, so he didn't say anything more.

Seeing a group of men busy at work, he felt satisfied and at ease. He shouted to everyone to work hard and went down the mountain.

After watching the headman go down the mountain, Cheng Yue went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of hot water and threw a handful of rock sugar into it. Everyone drank the sugar water and felt more energetic when working.

After the sugar water was cooked, Cheng Yue called Chen Lin and his two siblings to take the bowls out. As soon as they went out, they saw Zhao Xiangxiu and Cuicui going up the mountain.

"Sister Cheng Yue, how come you are so fast?" Zhao Xiangxiu was secretly amazed. There was a group of men bending over over there, and it was obvious that they were going to build chicken and duck nests.

Cheng Yue just said yesterday that she wanted to do breeding, but people started working early this morning, so there was really no delay at all.

No wonder he can make money, he is so hardworking.

Cheng Yue deliberately joked: "Isn't this just to give you something to do and get paid sooner?"

Zhao Xiangxiu accepted this matter in her heart and didn't think too much about it. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Cheng Yue!"

Cuicui, however, pursed her lips a little embarrassedly, and said sincerely: "Aunt Cheng Yue, thank you! Here are some dried vegetables, please accept them."

Yesterday, her mother told her about this. She was excited and nervous. She tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. This morning, she took her mother to the house to thank her.

Unfortunately, the chicken and duck eggs were just sold yesterday, so the family couldn’t produce anything good. They could only take some dried vegetables, but they were afraid that Cheng Yue would dislike them.

The little girl had dark circles under her eyes and the whites of her eyes were yellowing, but her eyes were exceptionally clear and full of gratitude.

Cheng Yue touched Cuicui's head, took the dried vegetables from her hand, and said softly, "You're welcome. I'll thank you later! Raising chickens and ducks is not easy, and I'll ask you to take care of it later!"

Cuicui didn't expect Cheng Yue to say that, and her tone was so gentle. She blushed and said excitedly: "Don't worry, I like it!"

After he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Chen Lin's silly grinning face, and suddenly he felt his heart pounding and his ears turned red.
