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

When the Song clan leader heard this, his face gradually darkened, and his anger was evident in his words: "This Hu family is simply making a fuss!"

Zhao echoed this, her brows full of displeasure: "That's right, the family has been divided up, and you're still making such a fuss all day long. It's really a headache."

Then the villager sighed again: "Ah... That Hu family has always been domineering, and shamelessly using the two children to make trouble."

"She said she couldn't support the two little ones and wanted to send Yingzi and Xiaohu to Youtian's house. Youtian couldn't do anything about her either. So everyone asked me to ask the clan leader to come and speak for her."

Hearing this, Patriarch Song was silent for a moment.

He knew clearly that there were only orphans and a widowed mother left in the Hu family, and their life was indeed difficult.

If this matter gets made too big, the domineering Mrs. Hu will really throw Yingzi and her youngest son Xiaohu to Youtian's house.

If she had been more decisive, she would have followed Dayan's example and abandoned her two children and ran away.

Then these two children will suffer from this!

Thinking of this, Patriarch Song gradually calmed down his inner anger. After all, it was all because of the world.

Hu's husband died on the battlefield, and her mother-in-law was partial. Before she died, she divided the property into two parts.

Life is really hard for a woman with two half-grown children.

Even if he looked down on Mrs. Hu as a person, what would Yingzi and Huzi do if this matter became a big deal?

The Song clan leader sighed helplessly: "Alas, forget it. There must be something hateful about pitiful people. For the sake of the two children, it is not good to do things too extreme."

Zhao listened to her husband's words and disagreed, saying, "She needs to be tempered. Otherwise, she's always thinking about gossiping. I think she should be taught a lesson!"

"Could it be that if I let her make a fuss, she will succeed?"

The Song clan leader waved his hand gently, interrupting her: "I will take care of this matter myself."

After saying that, the Song clan leader turned to look at Wu and asked solemnly, "The recipe for this jelly comes from my sister-in-law's family. What do you think about this?"

Mrs. Wu was slightly stunned. She didn't expect the patriarch to ask for her opinion. She subconsciously looked at her granddaughter.

When Song Zhi saw her grandmother looking at her, she simply stepped forward and said:

"Over the years, my family has been grateful to our fellow villagers and is willing to pass on the jelly to everyone. As for who you will pass it on to after you learn how to make it, it is not our place to ask. That is the business of each family."

Song Zhi made it very clear that she did not want to be involved in this dispute.

Although she had a bad relationship with Hu, she would not go to extremes because of it.

In her opinion, whether or not to pay for the jelly was a family affair between the two families, and she would not be stupid enough to show up at this time.

After receiving the confirmation, the Song clan leader nodded and said, "Okay, I understand! I will go to Youtian's house first to check the situation, and then ask the clan elders to come to your house later."

Song Zhi hurriedly said, "Grandpa, the clan leader, has something to do first, we'll go back first!"

After saying that, she gently pulled Grandma's sleeve, signaling them to go back first.

Mrs. Wu didn't want her family to get involved in other people's affairs, so she agreed, "Then let's go back first!"

The grandfather and grandson immediately turned and left.

After the two men left, Patriarch Song also walked hurriedly towards Youtian's house with his hands behind his back.

After Song Zhi returned home, she was not idle either. She took her grandmother for a walk around the house.

The two of them discussed where to build the house and where to build the yard.

When I saw the low mud wall of the old house, I started thinking about putting the renovation of the old house on the agenda.

Song Zhi told her grandmother about her idea and said that she wanted to build a large house with two entrances in case of emergency.

Mrs. Wu was very puzzled, but she did not stop her granddaughter. She only said:

"Building so many houses and a large yard will cost a lot of money."

"In my opinion, since we've already bought the land here, when we have more money in the future, or when we grow up well-off, we can let him build it himself."

"Now let's build a large courtyard with two side rooms on each side. It's more than enough for you sisters to live in!"

Song Zhi knew that her grandmother's concerns were right. She had to buy land, bricks, and hire people, and the twenty strings of cash she had in her hand would not be enough.

However, she already had a plan in mind. She built so many houses not only for her sisters to live in, but she also wanted to make woolen fabrics later.

Without people under my command, I can’t make wool products.

But it was not easy to tell Grandma about this right now, so she just said, "Don't worry about the money, Grandma. I have my own way!"

She planned to take the new pastries to Wang Wanzhi tomorrow and sell a few recipes. This way, she would have no problem raising money for building the house.

Seeing how confident her granddaughter was, Mrs. Wu didn't say anything more. She just reminded her to do things within her ability and not force herself.

Song Zhi readily agreed.

As they were talking, the grandfather and grandson walked back to the yard from outside the house and ran into Zhao who had come to look for them at the door.

Zhao stopped and said with a smile, "I saw that you didn't go to Youtian's house just now, so I came to tell you what happened next."

Wu smiled and pulled Zhao along, saying, "Let's go. We'll talk to our family if there's anything."
