It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

When Song Zhi saw that everyone no longer opposed the division of the family but instead talked about her eldest brother's marriage, she knew that the matter was settled.

Sure enough, the next moment, Wu once again made the decision in front of the whole family, "Okay, the division of the family is settled. Tomorrow I will invite the clan leader and the elders of the clan to come home to be witnesses."

"I understand, Mom. We will all listen to you!" Song Youshan said.

Now that things were said, Yang realized that dividing the family would indeed help her eldest son's marriage. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't say anything else.

The matter was settled, and Song Zhi took her sister-in-law back to the house to rest.

Under the dim light, the three sisters sat together washing their feet.

Song Huan, who is already eight years old, can already understand what grandma said today about dividing the family.

She made a bitter face and said worriedly, "Sister, do grandma and the others not want us anymore?"

"I will definitely work harder and eat less in the future. Will I be able to stay at home then?"

My little one, the worries that have been accumulating in your heart for a long time have come true today.

At this moment, she was extremely scared!

Song Zhi looked at her worried little sister and rubbed her head. "Huanhuan, don't be afraid. Just think that we are just moving next door. Nothing else will change."

"When the time comes, sister will build a big house so that each of us can have a room of our own. What do you think?"

But Song Huan just kept shaking her head, "Sister, I don't want a room, I want to sleep with you."

Song Kang could understand this, and the little guy nodded repeatedly, "Sleep with sister!"

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, sister, when the time comes, ask someone to build a big kang in the house, so that we won't be afraid of the cold when we sleep in winter."

Song Huan was attracted by her sister's word "kang". She asked curiously, "Are you talking about the 'fire pit' like the one in our clan leader's house?"

She said with envy, "I know about that fire pit. In the winter, when the whole family gathers around it to eat, the house will be so warm!"

Her eyes sparkled as she asked, "Sister, do we also want to build a fire pit for warmth, like the one at the clan leader's house?"

Song Zhi recalled the fire pit that her younger sister mentioned.

It is a small pit dug in the center of the house or a specific room, surrounded by mud. The middle can be used for making fire for heating and also has the function of cooking.

However, the current fire pit has an obvious disadvantage. When making a fire indoors in winter, the doors and windows cannot be opened, so the smoke in the house cannot dissipate. Although it can keep out the cold, the disadvantages are also obvious.

Song Zhi then realized that although heating equipment had appeared in this era, mature kang technology had not yet appeared.

She took the linen cloth and wiped the water stains off the two children's feet, and at the same time found an excuse:

"We don't have a fire pit at home, but I heard from a merchant from the north that this kang can also be used for heating. I'll go back to the county town and ask the merchant about it, and then I'll come back and explain it to you."

Song Zhi diverted the attention of the two children. After wiping their feet, they rolled onto the bed and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that she had coaxed the two children, Song Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, there was another reason why she wanted to move out, which was that she could act more freely.

There are always some inconveniences when a large family lives together.

Grandma and uncle are both adults and not easy to fool.

But these two little guys are different. They obey her every word.

For example, regarding the kang mentioned earlier, she just said that she heard about it from a businessman from another place, and the two of them believed it immediately.

If Grandma and the others heard what I just said, they would definitely ask a few more questions.

After all, too much talk leads to mistakes. If it was just about food, it would be fine, but if it involved pharmacological knowledge, it would be difficult for her to explain clearly.

Moreover, the winters here are very cold, and she also wants to make some facial creams, frostbite ointments and other things to sell.

These things will more or less involve some knowledge about medicinal materials.

Therefore, she must find Dr. Zheng to be her disciple as soon as possible!
