I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

It took Master Cheng about half an hour to roughly figure out the location of the pillars under the sea.

This will facilitate the construction of bridges.

After Gu Yichen finished his breakfast, he also came to the coast.

Now that he is back, his family is going to build a bridge, so naturally he has to participate.

"Village Chief, you are here. I just happened to have something to discuss with you."

When Bai Qingyao arrived, she saw Gu Zhengde walking towards her from not far away.

Building the bridge is also the business of Dayuan Village. Moreover, after the bridge is built, a workshop will be built on the island. It will be of great benefit to the village. He cannot sit still.

As soon as he reached the shore, he heard Bai Qingyao's voice. When Gu Yichen heard it, he subconsciously looked over.

"Hmm? Qingyao, what's going on?"

Gu Zhengde spoke with a smile.

Now Bai Qingyao is the God of Wealth in the village. The oysters he pried before have already provided food for many people in the village. At least, they have enough food to eat. There will be a workshop in the future, so of course this God of Wealth must be worshipped.

"Well, I want to ask if there are any skilled craftsmen in the village. I want to build a house on the island, and I also want to ask if there are any skilled craftsmen who can make tiles. The wages and other expenses are negotiable."

She still had some silver and money in her hand. Although she had spent most of the silver notes she had exchanged at the pawnshop and the money house, there was still a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the box that Daimao gave her. Building a house and buying bricks and tiles would not be a problem.

"This... the bridge is not built yet?"

Gu Zhengde frowned. The bridge had not been built yet, so how could he build a house on the island?

"I want to make the tiles first and ship them to the island. As for building the house, my family recently bought a very sturdy boat, so transporting those goods won't be a problem!"

"Besides, building the bridge will take quite a while. Building the workshop and the house afterward will waste quite a bit of time. It would be better to do both at the same time."

After hearing Bai Qingyao's explanation, Gu Zhengde's face flashed with understanding. However, in this case, the workers' wages...

Seeing the hesitation on Gu Zhengde's face, Bai Qingyao seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and then continued, "As for the workers' wages, don't worry, I did some small business some time ago and saved a lot of money."

All in all, I have been selling noodles in Taohua Town for more than a month. Although the profit is small this month, the sales volume is high. All in all, I have made a lot of money, which is enough to buy bricks and tiles.

Gu Yichen stood aside and didn't say anything, but he had guessed some of the reasons for Gu Zhengde's hesitation.

It has already cost a lot of money to buy such a large island, and building a bridge will definitely cost a lot of money. Bai Qingyao is a woman, how can she come up with so much money even if she is good at making money?

'hiss--'

Hearing Bai Qingyao's words, Gu Zhengde took a breath. Bai Qingyao...how much money has she made during this period of time!

But this is also her ability. Since she said so, Gu Zhengde naturally has nothing to say.

"The Gu Sanshu family in the village makes bricks and tiles for others. Their craftsmanship is quite good and everyone in the surrounding area knows them. As for building a house, we have to go to the Yang family in the neighboring village."

"But don't worry, I'll talk to the Yang family on your behalf. If there's business, they'll be so happy!"

The situation has been bad in recent years, especially many people can't even get enough to eat, so how could they have money to build houses and make bricks and tiles?

Although there are occasionally families in the town who are in need, they are a minority after all, and the money is not enough to cover the annual expenses of an entire family.

"Thank you, village chief!"

After Gu Zhengde left, Gu Yichen's eyes were always on Bai Qingyao, as if he was thinking about something.

As soon as Bai Qingyao turned her head, she met his gaze and subconsciously touched her face.

"Is there something on my face?"

Hearing her voice, Gu Yichen came back to his senses. "Ahem, no."

Bai Qingyao looked puzzled. Why was he staring at her?

This face doesn’t look good now!

Could it be that Gu Yichen has a strong taste... As soon as this thought appeared, it was rejected by Bai Qingyao.

impossible!

If Gu Yichen liked this, the original body would have succeeded long ago!

You know, the reason why the original body later pursued Zhang Sheng was, firstly, because Zhang Zheng was good at studying, and secondly, because he was despised by Gu Yichen and hit a snag with him, so he wanted to find another partner.

So, how could Gu Yichen like her now?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

If he is interested in the present him, then he must be somewhat seriously ill.

Gu Yichen naturally didn't know that Bai Qingyao had thought so much in such a short time. Seeing Bai Qingyao turning around to leave, he quickly spoke and called her.

"and many more--"

Bai Qingyao turned her head, frowned slightly, and looked at Gu Yichen in confusion, as if asking what was the matter?

Gu Yichen took out a box from his arms without saying a word and handed it to Bai Qingyao.

Bai Qingyao looked at him in confusion. He had a blank expression on his face, and with the long scar on his face, he looked like he was ready for a fight.

She opened the box in her hand with doubt.

'boom--'

As soon as she opened it and took a look, she quickly closed it and looked at Gu Yichen suddenly.

"This is the condolence money I received when I left the military camp. My family needs money now, so I'm giving this to you."

Bai Qingyao had a complicated expression, but what she had in her hand was money!

Moreover, it looked like there were several hundred taels of silver in it!

Is every retired soldier so rich?

In the original body's memory, wasn't Gu Yichen just a soldier in the kitchen? How could he have so much money?

Moreover, their current relationship is made of paper and can break at any time.

"You'd better take this money back. I still have money here."

If she used his money, wouldn't it mean that it was no longer her personal property?

Although it is not her personal pre-marital property, this is the house she built with her own money...

"Here, keep it. If you don't have enough, come to me for more."

Bai Qingyao: ...

After saying that, Gu Yichen turned around and left the spot.

Gu Yichen, who walked to the other side, was puzzled by his crazy behavior just now. Why did he give money to that woman?

"Master, did you give her money just now?"

A figure suddenly appeared and landed behind Gu Yichen. He saw Gu Yichen's actions clearly and was also puzzled.

Why would the master give money to that woman? Doesn't the master hate her?

Gu Yi gave him a stern look, and the man froze. "I know I was wrong."

"How is the investigation going?"

"My Lord, Bai Qingyao has indeed never left Dayuan Village. This rules out the possibility of someone else replacing her, but..."

He paused, "Some time ago, Bai Qingyao was pushed down the hillside because of... because of Zhang Sheng. After waking up, her personality changed drastically."

After saying this, he looked up at Gu Yichen. Bai Qingyao was chasing after Zhang Sheng. His master's head must have been covered in green for a long time...
