Yuan Shisheng's eyes were red as he said gratefully, "I have to thank Lord Hu and the old man, otherwise Jun Yao wouldn't be where she is today."

In fact, when he learned that Yuan Junyao had a reward of fifty taels, a homestead and three acres of good farmland, he was no longer so opposed to Yuan Junyao's divorce.

She has the ability to survive and live a better life without involving her mother's family and brother, so what else can he say.

He knew that she had a hard time in her husband's family, but what could he do?

Yesterday I cruelly drove Yuan Junyao away and didn't let her live at home. That was also for her own good, considering all the circumstances. I hoped she wouldn't divorce me.

If she gets divorced, where will she live in her parents' home and where will she get no share of food or drink?

When my son gets married in the future, my daughter-in-law will definitely not agree!

This is so unfair to them. In the future, they will have to rely on their son and daughter-in-law when they are old.

As the saying goes, a daughter belongs to someone else's family, but a daughter-in-law belongs to your own family.

Uncle Hu quickly retorted, "No, no, you're not right. Jun Yao owes her success to herself. I should thank Jun Yao for saving my life."

As for how he saved him, he did not elaborate, and Yuan Shisheng did not ask any further questions.

Yuan Shisheng just said helplessly: "This child is too willful. The house is built so far away. It's not safe for a girl to live there. Besides, she chose three acres of good farmland. She chose the bad one instead of the good one. No wonder I am angry."

Uncle Hu advised, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Why worry so much? It's not necessarily a bad thing for her to live far away. She can live a peaceful life away from trouble. It's also good to choose a good farm close to where she lives. She can take care of it more easily."

The choice has been made, what else can Yuan Shisheng say? He can only complain a few times.

Seeing that they were talking happily, Yuan Junyao stood up and said, "I'll go get the carriage back. I bought some food and some snacks to entertain the guests."

Yuan Shisheng nodded, his expression softened, but his tone was still not very good.

"Go ahead, it's really not a worry at all."

Only then did he remember that Yuan Junyao had also spent money to buy a carriage, and he didn't know how much silver she had spent.

If he knew that Yuan Junyao's carriage cost sixty taels, he would definitely be furious.

Of course, if he knew that Yuan Junyao could make a lot of money herself, he might feel better. After all, it is a good thing for his daughter to make money.

For those who cannot make a lot of money, saving is the most important thing. What he fears most is that young people do not know how to save, and end up with sweetness first and bitterness later.

At this moment, he was thinking that Yuan Junyao's reward was only fifty taels, plus the previous twenty taels, which made up seventy taels.

She spent money lavishly and even bought a carriage, which probably cost her nearly half of the money. That was definitely not enough to build a house.

He couldn't help but have a headache again, thinking painfully, why not take out twenty taels from the previous betrothal gift to build her a better house?

The total savings of the couple was less than sixty taels, not including Yuan Junyao's betrothal money.

These are all left for his son to get married, and he is somewhat reluctant to let them go.

It costs dozens of taels to marry a wife, and you also have to buy new furniture. You can't treat the new wife badly when she comes home.

But he gritted his teeth and thought about it. The silver was his daughter's betrothal money anyway. Now that they were divorced, he should give her half of it. He would give her ten taels after she built a house.

"Drink tea. My mother dried the tea leaves herself. They are very fragrant."

At this time, Yuan Junling came with tea.

Yuan Shisheng hurriedly stood up and poured tea for the two guests.

Yuan Junyao let out a long sigh after she went out. It seemed that her divorce was over, but she still decided not to live at home.

There is a huge generation gap between ancient and modern people, and their thoughts and patterns are also different. It is better to separate them. I hope distance creates beauty.

As soon as she walked into the village alley, someone came towards her and said with a smile: "Jun Yao, are you still renting a house?"

This person is the former Jiang.

There were two men with her, both of whom she knew: one was Jiang's husband, and the other was Jiang's father-in-law.

Yuan Junyao thought of her previous expression. Although she was unhappy, she didn't want to make a fuss about it because there was no need. She smiled slightly and said, "No need. I've already rented it. Thank you."

After saying that, she wanted to walk around the two of them and leave. Seeing this, Jiang panicked.

"Jun Yao, Jun Yao, I, I want to say sorry to you, I..."

She didn't know what to say, for she was afraid of offending Yuan Junyao.

Now everyone in the village knows that Yuan Junyao is the county magistrate's sworn sister, even Yuan Qinghai can't compare to her.

Yuan Junyao actually didn't mind at all. She never wasted her energy on irrelevant people, so she turned around and smiled.

"It's nothing, no need to say sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Yuan Junyao's expression gradually faded after she turned her head.

This world is so realistic, and the Jiang family is actually quite good.

The house belongs to someone else, so it's normal for them to have concerns and not want to rent it out. At least they didn't say anything bad.

When they reached a deserted place, Yuan Junyao took the carriage out of the space, checked the things in the carriage, and then took out some snacks from the space.

She had previously bought mung bean cakes, chestnut cakes, and candies, which were just right for entertaining guests.

After driving the carriage back home, Yuan Junyao asked her younger brother and sister to come and help move the things in the carriage to the kitchen.

Uncle Hu and Yuan Shisheng were having a great conversation, but Hu Changgeng was sitting alone with nothing to do.

Yuan Junyao didn't know what Uncle Hu said, but Yuan Shisheng was very happy.

As soon as Yuan Junyao came in with some snacks, he said, "Brother Hu thinks highly of you and wants to adopt you as his adopted daughter. This is a blessing for you. Choose a good day, bring some gifts, and formally come to his house to acknowledge your relationship."

Uncle Hu stroked his beard with a smile, and looked at Yuan Junyao with eyes that seemed to be asking for credit, as if to say: Look, I took care of your father.

Yuan Junyao was indeed grateful for Uncle Hu's help. Since he sincerely wanted to adopt her as his goddaughter, she would agree, so as not to let the old man down.

"Okay, I still need some help from my brothers in building a house. I'll come to your house in a few days."

Uncle Hu was delighted when he heard this, clapping his hands and cheering. He also patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, with your godfather here, I will definitely ask your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother to build you the most beautiful house."

Yuan Junyao put the snacks on the table and said, "I'll draw the blueprints for the house myself. I'll trouble godfather and my brothers to take care of it when the time comes."

Uncle Hu was in a good mood, so naturally he would do whatever Yuan Junyao said.

Yuan Junyao poured them more tea and then went to the backyard to help cook. As soon as she arrived in the backyard, she saw Qi Meixiang preparing to kill a duck.

She quickly stopped him, "Don't, don't kill!"

Qi Meixiang, holding a knife, looked at her in confusion.

Yuan Junyao said, "I bought a lot of vegetables, including pork and mutton, so there's no need to kill a duck."

She remembered that the chickens and ducks in the house had been laying eggs recently, and it would be a shame to kill them, and they were all raised by Yuan Junling.

This girl must be reluctant to do so.
