My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

"Qingming, Qingxue, how did you two siblings spend your holidays? Is there anything wrong?" Village Chief Lin asked with a smile when he saw his two grandchildren.

The famine escape was over, and they settled in the southern suburbs of the imperial city. They had silver and food, and there was also a river in the southern suburbs. Village chief Lin was in a particularly good mood, and had never felt so relaxed.

"Master, I have something to discuss with you, so I asked my brother to come with me," Lin Qingxue said quickly. She looked at the brothers Lin Qingchu and Lin Qingxun and said, "Didn't we find a lot of silver notes on the bandits before? I was thinking of taking my eldest cousin and my eldest brother to the Imperial City tomorrow to find out what the regulations are for building houses here. If building a house is not expensive, I want to use the silver to buy materials. What do you think?"

The reason why Lin Qingxue said this was because the food everyone had was enough to last for more than three months, so there was no need to use that money to buy food. What was most needed right now was to build houses, reclaim land, and buy seeds.

"Okay, okay. What kind of house do you plan to build? How do you plan to build it?" Village chief Lin nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. He couldn't make the decision on such a big matter alone, so he had to discuss it with the elders of the clan.

"I plan to build a house for my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, youngest brother, and myself. However, the houses for the five of us brothers and sisters will not be separated. We will all live together."

Lin Qingxue thought about it and decided that since there were no outsiders here, she might as well express her thoughts. She was not short of money and did not want her residence to be too shabby.

"It's OK as long as you have enough money," Village Chief Lin nodded. He knew that his brothers' grandchildren were not stupid and they must have plenty of money, which is why they dared to do this.

"It's enough," Lin Qingxue nodded, and then said, "The main thing is that Xiaoshan and his brothers are all grown up and ready to get married. And my little brother still has to continue his studies. He can't squeeze into the same room with his nephews!"

Hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Village Chief Lin couldn't help but sigh that she was thoughtful and sophisticated. It was a pity that she was not his own granddaughter, but fortunately she was also a member of their Lin family, so it was not a loss.

"As long as your grandfather agrees, that's fine. By the way, since you're going to the city tomorrow, I'll have your two cousins ​​go around asking every household if they need anything. It's a bit cold here in the Imperial City, so everyone needs to prepare their winter clothes and quilts."

Village chief Lin said thoughtfully, I wonder if it would be cheaper if we all go shopping together?

"Sure, if you buy in large quantities, you should get a lot of discounts," Lin Qingxue smiled. It was easiest to guess what her uncle was thinking.

Village chief Lin waved at them and told them to go back quickly, saying that he was going to discuss things with the elders.

Village chief Lin was very proactive. An hour later, Lin Qingchu came to find Lin Qingxue with a list.

"Cousin, does everyone want to build houses with mud bricks?" Lin Qingxue took the list handed over by Lin Qingchu, opened it and saw that it clearly recorded who wanted to build what kind of house, and what everyone wanted to buy. It was clear at a glance.

"Yes, although we don't have to contribute to the construction of the house, every household has very little money left, and we still have to save money to buy seeds for next year! Everyone wants to save some money."

Lin Qingchu nodded. Everyone thought so, and he could fully understand that there was no tax exemption for the first three years of land reclamation, but the family still needed money for food, drink, and daily necessities.

"Okay, let's go ask around tomorrow. We need a lot, so it'll definitely be much cheaper. So how many houses do the villagers want to build?"

Lin Qingxue knew that during the time when the bandits suffered the most serious losses, only a few households were safe and sound, while most families had deaths. In the other times, food and money were robbed, so the villagers wanted to save money and keep more money for future use.

"Most of them have four or five rooms in the front and back yards! However, my grandfather said that while we're building houses, we should let each household divide up their property so that we can have more land to build houses. Our household registration documents haven't been separated yet. When we have some free time in a couple of days, we'll go to the county government office to re-register each household. So, for now, let's use mud bricks to build the houses and live in them. When the conditions are right, we can re-build them later."

Lin Qingchu smiled and said that it didn't matter what kind of house it was, as long as people could live in it, it would be fine. He saw how difficult it had been for everyone along the way, and the villagers knew the hardships involved, so no one would find fault with it.

"In this case, I don't think the packages we packed today will be enough to build a house. It's time to re-register our household registration. Cousin, our family needs to split up. My two children and I will be registered with my grandparents, my uncle and aunt will be registered with my eldest brother, my second and third brothers' families will have theirs split up, my younger brother and sister's will be put together, and the Liu family's two sons' household registrations will also be separated. We have a large family, and if we don't split them up like this, there won't be enough land to build a house."

Lin Qingxue looked at Old Man Lin and Uncle Lin, and said with a smile that this result was something their family had discussed privately. If the household registration was not separated in this way, the house built would not be enough for the whole family to live in. Lin Qingxue's nephews are all grown up and are about to get married. They can no longer squeeze into one room.

Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin looked calm and didn't say a word. The others were even quieter. It was as if Lin Qingxue was the boss and she had the final say.

Of course, everyone in the Lin family, including the Liu family, knew that the money for building the house must have been subsidized by Lin Qingxue, and the Lin family could not afford it.

So, everyone had no choice but to listen to her, because what she said made sense. There were many people in the family and the house was too small to accommodate them.

"Okay, I'll make a note of it. Remember to get up early tomorrow. We have to go to the city early to do business," Lin Qingchu nodded. Seeing that Old Man Lin and the others didn't say anything, he knew that this was something their family had discussed.

"I understand, cousin," Lin Qingxue agreed. After seeing Lin Qingchu off, the Lin family gathered together again to discuss building a house.

However, Lin Qingxue already had an idea, and she didn't want to tell everyone about it because she knew that in order to save money, the Lin family would definitely be very casual about the house.

Regardless of whether she will remarry in the future, the house in Linjia Village is her home, her roots, and a safe haven for her and her two daughters.

Lin Qingxue didn't want to be casual, nor did she plan to be casual. Having collected so much gold, silver and jewelry in the bandit's lair, she had the confidence to make the house the way she wanted.

Therefore, Lin Qingxue didn't want to put herself in a difficult position. Who knows if this house will be her lifelong residence!
