Su Wanning finished eating quickly and called the waiter again to pack a few more meals and put them directly into the space so that she wouldn’t have to run back and forth when she wanted to eat next time.

As soon as he came down from upstairs, he met several people from the Zhan family who had just entered.

"Aning, I'm going to accompany my mother and others to look at a house today." Zhan Beiwang's face tightened.

"I understand. It's past dinner time. You should order food and eat quickly." Su Wanning looked at the few people left in the lobby.

Zhan Beiwang reached out and took Su Wanning's hand, "There's no one you dislike here, let's eat together."

Su Wanning pulled her hand back and said, "I've already eaten. You guys go eat."

Zhan Beiwang glanced at Mo Lan, and only when he saw the latter nod did he feel relieved. "Okay, go back and rest first."

Su Wanning smiled and nodded at the others, then left.

After returning to the inn, Su Wanning washed up and went straight to bed and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was still dark and a drizzle was falling outside the window. Su Wanning walked over and closed the window.

I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, so I sat up, picked up the phone I was using last time and started playing games. I didn't fall asleep again until dawn.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Su Wanning woke up from her sleep and saw the mobile phone beside her, so she put it into the space.

When I got up from the bed, I saw Zhan Beiwang walking in with a lunch box.

Seeing Su Wanning wake up, he asked in surprise, "Did I wake you up?"

"It's time to get up anyway." Su Wanning looked at the breakfast on the table.

"Let's eat something later. We will go back to the village and give the blueprints to the village bricklayer and ask the village chief to help build the house." Zhan Beiwang served Su Wanning a bowl of porridge.

Su Wanning picked up the porridge and took a sip. "Didn't it rain in the middle of the night? Are the roads in the countryside easy to walk on?"

"It should be fine, it only rained for a while." After saying that, Zhan Beiwang felt something was wrong, "Did you sleep very late last night?"

"No, I just woke up in the middle of the night." Su Wanning looked at Zhan Beiwang, "The Zhan family's house cannot be solved in a short time. I can ask Mo Lan and Mo Ran to accompany me to the village later."

"It's okay, Ling Feng is watching over the Zhan family." Zhan Beiwang replied.

The two of them finished eating quickly and were about to get on the carriage when they were stopped. Zhan Yirou walked up to Zhan Beiwang with an anxious look on her face, "Cousin, my cousin and the man who's selling the house are about to fight. My aunt wants you to go back."

"What's going on?" Zhan Beiwang frowned slightly.

"You go and handle it, and let Mo Lan and the others follow me." Su Wanning patted Zhan Beiwang.

Zhan Bei saw that Su Wanning insisted and gave some instructions to Mo Lan and Mo Ran.

The two men drove the carriage and took Su Wanning towards Muxi Village.

Su Wanning opened the window, looked at Zhan Beiwang's back, and sighed. It would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed, but she didn't want to ask Zhan Beiwang for anything anymore. After all, he was still a member of the Zhan family.

But she would definitely not live with the Zhan family.

The carriage soon arrived at Muxi Village.

Although it was early in the morning, there were still many aunties from the village sitting at the entrance of the village.

The carriage went straight into the village and stopped in front of the door of the village chief Lu Qingan.

After Su Wanning got off the carriage, she saw a familiar carriage parked at the door.

It happened that Li Jingyu came out of Lu Qingan's house carrying food.

Li Jingyu paused while drinking porridge, turned around silently, and walked towards Lu Qingan's house.

"Why are you here?" Su Wanning stepped forward and grabbed Li Jingyu's clothes.

"I was just about to ask why you are here?" Li Jingyu moved the bowl in his hand away from his body and looked at Su Wanning.

Su Wanning circled around Li Jingyu and tutted her tongue twice, "I never thought that our dashing Seventh Prince would one day wear linen clothes."

Li Jingyu felt uncomfortable being stared at by Su Wanning, "Why can't I wear linen clothes?"

"I was wondering who it was, but it's Miss Su." Li Cuizhi walked out of the yard and saw Su Wanning. "The blueprints for the house are ready, so you're going to look for your Uncle Qing'an, right?"

Su Wanning nodded. "The blueprints are ready. I'd also like to trouble Uncle Qing'an to help me find someone to build the house."

"What do you mean by building a house?" Li Jingyu interrupted. "I don't agree."

"Why don't you agree?" Su Wanning rolled her eyes at him. "I've already bought the land and settled down."

Li Cuizhi pulled her over and went straight into the yard. "Don't pay attention to him. Let's go inside and talk."

Li Jingyu looked at Su Wanning's back impatiently, but in the end he didn't say anything. He raised the bowl in his hand and drank the porridge in it in one gulp.

He looked at the two people who had just left the house not far away, then turned and went back to the yard.

Lu Qingan glanced at Su Wanning's drawings and nodded, "I'll take you to find your Uncle Qi Zheng."

Su Wanning nodded and followed. Li Cuizhi looked at Li Jingyu, who was lying on a rattan chair basking in the sun. "Xiao Yu, I see Miss Su is alone. Go with Miss Su and help her."

Li Jingyu did not move. "She brought two helpers with her."

"We are all from the same village now, so we should help each other when something happens." Li Cuizhi said a few more words earnestly.

Li Jingyu stood up and walked towards the door, "Okay, I'll go help."

Lu Qizheng looked at the blueprint in his hand and said, "Okay, we'll break ground this afternoon at 3 p.m. You mentioned using blue bricks, and I've already told them. As long as you're sure you're going to build it, they can be shipped over anytime."

Su Wanning had asked about the price of the bricks before, and took out three ingots of silver and handed them to Lu Qizheng, "Uncle, this is the silver for the bricks. If it's not enough, tell me more. Your wages are paid daily, and it's what it should be. Give each person an extra ten copper coins, and we won't provide lunch."

Lu Qizhen took the silver and nodded. He didn't expect that Su Wanning's wages would be paid on a daily basis. This was convenient for them. At least they didn't have to think about asking for wages every day. After all, when they were doing these jobs, many people owed them wages.

"Okay, then we'll break ground this afternoon. I'll go to the next town and have them bring the bricks back. We'll officially start construction tomorrow."

Then he looked at Su Wanning and asked, "Have you bought everything for the groundbreaking?"

Su Wanning shook her head, "No."

Seeing Su Wanning like this, Lu Qizheng knew that she probably hadn't prepared anything. "You should go to the city and buy everything while there's still time. If you don't start the construction today, you'll have to wait for almost half a month for the next good day."

Li Jingyu just came over with a pen and paper, "Uncle, just write down what you need and let her go buy it."

Lu Qizhen took the pen and wrote down what was needed and handed it to Su Wanning. Su Wanning took a look and found that there were indeed quite a few things needed.

Mo Ran reached out and took it, "Leave this matter to me."
