My humble days in ancient times

After being bedridden for a whole month, Huang Guiyun has finally recovered. She can now walk without any problems and is in a wonderful mood.

The first thing he did after recovering was to go to the village head's house.

When the village head saw her coming, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter with you coming here?"

Huang Guiyun said cheerfully, "I came here today for something."

The village head felt that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he said, "Go ahead and speak boldly. There's no one else here."

Huang Guiyun smiled and said, "It's like this. I was thinking there are some empty houses in the village. Can I live in one of them? Then I can grow some vegetables in front of and behind the house."

The village head shook his head without hesitation: "No, Huang Guiyun, why do you always think about such messed up things?"

Huang Guiyun continued to smile and said, "Uncle Village Head, please don't be angry. Look, there is a precedent for this. Why can Xu Ruyi and the others do it, but I can't?"

The village head understood now. So they were waiting for him here? Could it be that they were targeting Xu Ruyi and the others?

The village head thought for a moment and said, "Xu Ruyi and the others are children, and their situation is special. They had nowhere else to go, so I lent them an empty house in the village."

Huang Guiyun smiled and said, "That's true, but things are different now. Think about it, Uncle Village Head. The villagers are in trouble, and we do need to help them. But Xu Ruyi has already built a new house, so why not move in? It's not good to occupy the house like this."

The village head thought for a moment and said, "What do you mean? Explain it to me clearly."

Huang Guiyun spoke nonstop, "My thinking is this: They've already built a new house and are earning money. It's unacceptable for them to continue living in an empty house. If they insist on staying, they should pay rent."

The village head pondered for a moment and then said, "It's obvious that the new house that Xu girl built is a factory for producing chili oil. Since it's used as a factory, they will definitely build a residence in the future. So it makes sense that they are temporarily living in the empty house."

Huang Guiyun continued to insist, "But those servants are also human beings. Can't they all live there?"

The village head was a little angry now, so he said, "They are just four children. I want to ask you, is it safer to live in a shabby house with neighbors on both sides, or to live in the wilderness with no one around?"

Huang Guiyun thought about it carefully and said, "Of course it's safer to live in a shabby house with neighbors."

The village head nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's pretty good. This is more like being a sister-in-law. Don't mention this again in the future, or you'll be laughed at."

After Huang Guiyun left the village head's house, she grew increasingly angry. "Oh, why did I keep on rambling on about all this useless talk? Wouldn't it have been enough to just tell them that if they lived in the house, they should pay the rent?" "Oh, all this effort wasted." She wanted to slap herself hard.

After Huang Guiyun left, the village head muttered to himself: "Oh, he's still holding a grudge? He's forgotten the pain just as the wound healed, and he's still thinking about fighting? Some people just don't learn from their mistakes."

Zhou came over slowly at this time and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "What's going on with Huang Guiyun today?"

The village head frowned slightly and said, "She wants me to collect rent from Xu Ruyi. If I don't, she wants me to kick the four siblings out, saying they already have a new house."

Zhou understood what was happening and snorted coldly, "Huang Guiyun is just a troublemaker. The empty house is just sitting there anyway, so how would it bother her if someone else moved in? She's just looking for trouble."

The village head raised his eyebrows and said helplessly, "She's just angry. She's been defeated by Miss Xu time and time again. She's not convinced and has to cause trouble."

Zhou shook her head, disagreeing. "She's just too strong-willed. She can't stand the slightest bit of hardship. Her ambitions are high, but unfortunately, she's not destined to be strong. She's obsessed with making a fortune and living a life of luxury. She spends every day thinking about these empty things. I don't know if she's tired."

The village head said with a serious expression, "She can think whatever she wants, but she can't bully others so blatantly under my nose. Our village will not tolerate such evil practices."

Zhou nodded and continued, "She's the only one in the village who's always restless. What a pity, they have different fates. Xu Ruyi is now a young lady, and her life is getting better and better. But she's still the same, stubborn and unreasonable, with no intention of improving herself. It would be a waste of time to keep messing around like this for a few more years."

The village head sighed softly, "It's important for people to know themselves. They need to know who they are. Some people won't listen to anything you say. I hope that one day in the future, she can think clearly and stop doing such evil things."

Zhou nodded in agreement and said, "You're right. These smart people can see clearly that Xujia Village will have to rely on Xu Ruyi and his sister in the future. We all need to be smart and get closer to them."

The village head kept saying, "Of course. Being able to earn money shows that Xu Ruyi is capable. I have always been optimistic about this girl. Now I have only envy and admiration for her. It is really not easy for her to achieve such success at such a young age."

Zhou nodded and said, "It's really not easy. I see, she's going to build a big house next year."

The village head asked with a puzzled look on his face: "How do you know this?"

Zhou said with great joy, "I can see it. You can just wait and see next year. Xu Ruyi has always been very organized and capable. Now that he's made a lot of money, it's only a matter of time before he builds a big house."

Xu Shi was digging furiously in the vegetable patch, sweat pouring down his body. He straightened up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. In the distance, he saw Huang Guiyun rushing back from the direction of the inner house. He wondered: Did she go to the village head's house? She looked like something was wrong.

After Huang Guiyun came back, she rushed into the house without taking off her shoes. She lay on the bed without saying a word and pulled the quilt over her head.

Seeing this, Xu Shi quickly dropped the iron shovel in his hand, hurried into the house, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Who mad at you? Did you go to the headman's house just now?"

Huang Guiyun deliberately turned her head away and said, "Don't worry, no one is angry with me. Besides, I don't have anything to do, so why would I go to the headman's house? I'm just wandering around the village to relax."

"Really, you didn't lie to me." Xu Shi stared at her and asked again.

"I really didn't lie to you, don't worry." Huang Guiyun said impatiently.

Xu Shi frowned and thought about it, then left the house without saying anything else.

Huang Guiyun lay in bed, her chest heaving with rage, thinking: "I can't let this month of suffering go to waste. I can't let these twelve beatings go on like this. I must find a way to vent my anger."
