Ma was holding Lu Tianbao's hand. Upon hearing this, she immediately said sarcastically, "Who are you trying to protect by separating them? Don't you think you're old? If anything happens, we'll have to take a detour."

"Who are you guarding against? Who knows?" Village Chief Li rolled his eyes at her. He looked down upon Lu Yancai's family, from top to bottom, and every good person. "Old Lu, just say the word and I'll do it for you. No money required!"

Then he turned to Jiang Qinyu and said, "Niece, if you want a separate courtyard, just tell me. Your brothers in my family are good at masonry work and can finish it for you in a few days."

Jiang Qinyu was allocated the house she originally lived in and two side rooms. As long as the door was opened in a different direction, it could be turned into an independent courtyard.

After hearing what Village Chief Li said, she immediately nodded and agreed, "Thank you very much, Uncle Village Chief."

"Call a few of my nephews to help me fix it today. I really don't want to see that rebellious thing again!" Old man Lu still hasn't recovered.

He taught his two sons the same way, so how come the eldest is upright and capable, but the second one is like this?

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

Chen wiped her tears, looked at Lu Yancai, then at Jiang Qinyu and her aunt and nephew, sighed deeply, and accepted this reality.

It’s better to split up and live separately in the future, so that there won’t be chaos at home.

Village Chief Li nodded immediately and said, "I'll have them prepare it when I get back, but my niece might be two days late."

"It's okay, Uncle Village Chief, I'm not in a hurry either." Jiang Qinyu smiled faintly.

She wants to build a separate yard, add a kitchen and redecorate the bathroom, which probably won't be done in a few days.

Among the three rooms, in addition to her bedroom, one of the side rooms had to be divided into two rooms. After all, after the New Year, Shufan and Pan'er would have to sleep separately.

Jiang Qinyu thought about all this in her mind, then squeezed the purse that contained all her belongings, and she almost cried.

She had to make money quickly! The system needed another thousand pieces of cloth, and renovating the yard at home was another expense. If she didn't make money, she wouldn't be able to do anything else.

After Jiang Qinyu made up her mind, she immediately went to the land allocated to her.

Putting everything else aside, the water pipes must be buried in the ground first.

Shufan and Pan'er went out with her, both carrying small backpacks. They would not miss any useful things they saw on the road and would take them all away.

Seeing them like this, Jiang Qinyu felt sad. It’s true that children from poor families have to grow up early!

"Aunt, what is that?"

Seeing Jiang Qinyu burying a small section of water pipe in her own land, Shu Fan asked curiously.

Jiang Qinyu looked around and saw no one around before replying, "This is a water pipe. If we want to grow crops on our land, we have to water it thoroughly first."

"Don't you need to fetch water?" Shu Fan asked naively.

Jiang Qinyu shook her head. "This is a gift from the gods. Look," she turned on the tap with her consciousness, and the pipe buried in the pit began to flow. "Now there's water."

Shufan and Pan'er were stunned. Their aunt was so amazing!

Jiang Qinyu buried water pipes on the plots of land allocated to her family. When she passed by Old Man Lu's house and other people's land, she would bury them as well as she saw no one there.

By the time she returned home in the evening, she had buried water pipes in most of the land in the village.

Of course, she was very careful to avoid the lands of Lu Yancai's family, the Wang family, the Ma family and the Deng family. She pretended not to see these families.

I'm sorry, she is such a petty person. If someone makes her unhappy, she won't let anyone else be happy.

When I returned home, I still had to share a kitchen with Chen.

However, Chen still cooked for them tonight, and the family still sat in the main room to eat.

"After the family is divided, you will live your own lives. As for the second brother's family, you should stop calculating other people's things in the future. It's time for you two to work hard to live your own lives." Old Man Lu said earnestly.

Lu Yancai drooped his head and said, "I know, Dad, but why don't you and Mom want to live with us? I am your only son!"

With a "bang", Old Man Lu slammed his chopsticks on the table. "Why, do you still think your mother and I haven't worked hard enough for you all these years?"

"Old woman, don't cook a meal for him again!" After saying this, Old Man Lu finished the rice in his bowl in a few mouthfuls, turned around and went back to the house.

Chen's eyes were red, she sniffed, and said to Lu Yancai: "Second brother, your father is right, it's time for you to stand up."

After saying that, she took away her bowl and Old Man Lu’s bowl.

Seeing this, Jiang Qinyu stood up and asked Shufan and Pan'er to take their bowls back to the house to eat.

"Mr. Jiang, are you satisfied now?" Ma stood up suddenly and stared at Jiang Qinyu's back.

Jiang Qinyu paused, looked back at her, and then raised the corners of her lips, "I am quite satisfied. If you can disappear from my sight, I will be even more satisfied."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

She just wants to survive well in this strange world and strive to realize her dream of lying down one day, but she doesn't want to have anything to do with any random people.

In the next few days, Village Chief Li brought his sons to build a yard for Old Man Lu and Jiang Qinyu.

Before this, Wang Pozi's family and the Ma and Deng families fled famine the day after Jiang Qinyu and the others returned.

Their departure caused a few sighs from the less determined people in the village, but they were quickly dispersed by the grand meat-sharing ceremony.

Jiang Qinyu and his companions spent a total of five days in the mountains, and brought back forty-nine sheep, two wild boars, a tiger, three wolves and two hyenas. Among these things, only the sheep and tigers were shared among the villagers.

But with the experience from last time, Village Chief Li did not divide up all the things. Instead, he kept the tiger and ten sheep and put them in the public house for unified management, intending to exchange them for silver.

The wild boars, wolves, and hyenas were divided among Jiang Qinyu and seven or eight other families. However, after Village Chief Li and Jiang Qinyu discussed it, they still gave each family in the village two kilograms of wild boar meat.

"Village chief, we want to sell the mutton and tiger, but where can we sell them now?" someone asked.

Village chief Li was actually very worried. These prey could not be sold at a high price in Yongshan County, but they needed silver to survive the winter, so they had to exchange some of the meat for silver.

At this moment, Jiang Qinyu suddenly stepped out from the crowd, looked at everyone and said, "How about we go to the capital? It's more prosperous there, and this kind of game can be sold at a high price."

"Fucheng?" Village Chief Li was stunned. "Isn't it too far?"

Yongshan County is the most remote county in Yukang Prefecture. It is only two hundred miles away from the border, but three or four hundred miles away from Yukang Prefecture.

It takes more than half a month to go from Yongshan County to the provincial capital and back.

Jiang Qinyu shook her head. "It's not certain whether our things can be sold at a good price in Yongshan County. We might not even be able to find a buyer. But it's different in the capital. There are many wealthy people there. Not only can we sell these things quickly, but we can also get a good price."

She paused and continued, "Besides, our village hasn't bought any cloth in two years, right? If we don't buy more cloth this year, can we really survive this winter?"

The winter in Dingshui Village is very cold, and some people freeze to death every year. Jiang Qinyu doesn't want to be one of them.
