Seeing the little girl ordering her people around so smoothly, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile.

He said, "If nothing unexpected happens to these people, they will follow you in the future. I'm afraid your yard will be too full to accommodate you."

In fact, Tie Yuan and his men were sleeping in a large tent in the military camp, all lying in all directions.

Not to mention ten people, even twenty or thirty people can sleep here.

But this is not the Northern Frontier, nor is it the Northern Army’s base, but Yunlai Town, the Zhou family’s courtyard.

With more than a dozen people in the family, not only is it crowded with people coming in and out, not to mention food, clothing, and shelter.

Even if some of these people will stay in Zhoujia Village permanently, Zhou Lingling also plans to prepare a place for them to live.

The little girl stood in the yard, her eyes scanning the walls of her own house...

I wonder if there are any houses for sale nearby?

She is currently quite satisfied with her life in this courtyard, and the neighbors around her are also very kind. If anyone next door is willing to sell their house, she would like to buy it.

At that time, not only can their small courtyard be expanded, but also a separate courtyard can be separated, and a door can be opened in the middle for these people to live in.

Everyone has different living habits, so we don’t have to eat together or live together. Isn’t that perfect?

But Xiao Yan had a better suggestion.

"I heard that there are many farms near the Liu family's Mingzhao Academy."

"If we can capture one or two, we'll have the land you want, and there'll be enough space to house these people and the many more who will come later."

Hearing this, Zhou Lingling patted her little head.

Yes!

Xiao Yan is going to send more than just these fifteen people!

Could she possibly buy the entire alley?

"Brother Xiao, it's your brain that's always thinking of conspiracies and intrigues that's working."

Zhou Lingling praised sincerely.

Xiao Yan: ...Thank you, I didn’t feel complimented.

"But the farms nearby are all owned by others..." Zhou Lingling frowned.

The reputation of Mingzhao Academy is well-deserved.

The area near the villa was originally just an ordinary barren mountain and wilderness, but now the surrounding areas have been divided up by the major forces in Yunshui County, and farms have been built there.

Some people even moved there with their families, as if the closer they were to Mingzhao Academy, the more they could be influenced by the academy's literary atmosphere, and their descendants would be able to study.

In the past two years, some vendors have gone there, waiting for the students' ten-day break to set up stalls and sell clothes, shoes, socks, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, as well as food.

It’s true, after all, not all students can go home during the ten-day break, and the things sold by these vendors are exactly what the students want, so the vendors can make considerable profits from each trip.

Their Zhou family is just an ordinary farming family, and her brother has not yet passed the imperial examination, so in Yunlai Town, Yunshui County, they are really nothing.

Can she get a share of the pie from those big guys?

Use this new golden thigh of hers that is hidden and has a very bad reputation?

Tsk.

This doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it!

But Xiao Jinthigh Yan arrogantly took the responsibility: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter."

When Zhou Lingling heard this, her eyes immediately became starry:...Handsome man, you are getting more and more handsome!

Xiao Yan: ...Why do you look so dead again?

Feiyu hasn't come back yet,

Zhou Laoer and his wife were originally asked to come back early, but they came back in a hurry.

"Girl!"

"Girl! Where are you?"

The couple's panicked voices were heard at the door. Zhou Lingling didn't understand what was going on and walked towards the door in surprise.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her and pulled her backwards.

"boom!"

The newly replaced front door of their house collapsed in front of Zhou Lingling.

Zhou Lingling raised her head and what caught her eye was her father's legs that had not been retracted.

So her father kicked the door down.

Zhou Lingling pursed her lips.

She wondered if her father's hidden stash of money was enough to buy a new door...

Zhou Laoer and his wife were also shocked at this time.

The two of them stared blankly at their daughter and Xiao Yan who were standing in the yard safe and sound.

"My daughter, there are no bandits coming to our house, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the "bandits" rushed over from the kitchen and the corner of the yard.

Each of them was holding "weapons" such as firewood sticks, brooms, and shoulder poles.

Everyone had a serious face, looking very intimidating.

Tie Yuan: "Master, you and Miss Zhou please step back, we are here!"

Zhou Lao Er: "Don't be afraid, my daughter! Come to daddy quickly, daddy will protect you!"

They both spoke at the same time.

Then, they were stunned at the same time again.

Tie Yuan: Bringing a wife along to cause trouble? That's rare.

Zhou Laoer: A robber brings a broom? Rare.

Eh?

wrong.

What did the guy opposite just say?

Zhou Lingling couldn't help but close her eyes.

"father……"

"Uncle Tie..."

"This is all a misunderstanding."

**

"Hahahaha, it's true that a flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. Brother Tie, I apologize to you here!"

After Zhou Lingling's introduction, Zhou Laoer knew that this was the person his daughter had mentioned earlier to help them farm.

When he heard that these people were seniors who had retired from the army, he immediately smiled brighter than anyone else.

No one except Chen knew that Zhou Laoer also had a dream of joining the army when he was young.

At that time in the Zhou family, he was very strong and had to do the work of several people, but he never had enough to eat.

When Zhou Laoer accidentally heard someone say that joining the army would provide food and accommodation in the barracks, he became interested.

Even if he was going to die, he would rather die with a full stomach!

But unfortunately, Boss Zhou interfered and Old Lady Zhou tried her best to stop him, trapping him in Old Zhou's house and making him work like a slave.

Apart from anything else, Zhou Laoer has great respect for these men who still have "medals" on them.

Chen didn't waste any time and went straight into the kitchen, drove the guests out, and scooped a large bowl of noodles from the cupboard herself.

There was hot water available, so she added some warm water and started kneading the dough.

Seeing this, Zhou Yun put down the firewood in his hand and said, "Mom, I'm strong, let me knead it!"

Chen did not refuse.

The second son is like my husband. He is strong but doesn’t eat much. He eats everything without leaving any leftovers. He should do more work.

"Okay, then you come and just keep an eye on the fire. I'll go wash some vegetables and pick some green onions."

There are so many people that it is too late to cook. People come from far away, so they still need a bowl of noodles to fill their stomachs.

Later she will go buy some meat and vegetables and cook something good for everyone.

Chen turned and went out.

Zhou Lingling was also asking her father: "Dad, didn't I just ask Brother Feiyu to tell you to come back earlier? There's no need to do it so quickly, right?"

Zhou Lao Er: "Oh no! We didn't meet Feiyu."

"I was busy in the store when a neighbor suddenly came in and told me that a dozen bandits had entered our house!"

"I was so anxious that I rushed home without a second thought. But your mother saw me and asked me what was wrong. She insisted on coming with me."

That's it.

Zhou Lingling: ...What a kind and good neighbor!

"Alright then. Even though it was a mistake, you should still send something over to thank them later."

"Also, don't forget to fix the door."

Finally, she reminded sternly.

Tie Yuan smiled and patted Zhou Laoer on the shoulder: "Brother, you have so much strength, it would be a shame if you don't go to the military camp!"
