The construction team brought their own kitchen utensils and even built a tent so they could sleep there at night. Since the temperature dropped in the fall, Zhao Huanxi had even brought several quilts for them to sleep in. He also usually sent over groceries and other items from his family. So, he got along well with the construction team.

Seeing her coming, Foreman Cui mysteriously pulled her to a corner and asked with a strange look on his face, "Mrs. Zhao, has your family hired a guardian spirit?"

Huanxi was stunned for a moment. What kind of guardian deity is that? Isn't that from the Northeast?

I almost shook my head in denial, but then, at that critical moment, I suddenly remembered Xiaoqing. This person asking this now must have seen the snake security guard stationed at home. I couldn't directly deny it, nor could I directly answer it...

"Why are you asking that?"

"I saw two black snakes near your house. When we rested at night, we went to guard your back door. I got up several times in the middle of the night and they scared me!"

"When I was a child, a wandering alchemist came to my house and told me my fortune. He said that I had a connection with snakes, and that those two snakes must have eaten my food and came to repay me." Just listen to her ability to make up stories.

Foreman Cui nodded enviously. "Yes, we recently received a job renovating a house for a family from Ning'an. They have a painting of a fox. The owner of that house said there are five immortals, and snakes are one of them. Seeing that your two snakes don't hurt anyone and just guard the house, I'm just asking. Please don't mind, Madam Zhao."

"No, I'm just a farm girl, born and raised here. How could I possibly know those skills? And please, Foreman Cui, don't hurt those two snakes. Since they're not hurting anyone, just leave them alone."

"Of course, this snake is spiritual and is going to become an immortal."

Foreman Cui's words were a bit exaggerated, but when I thought about the dark abyss at the Wailing Cliff, it seemed that what he said was not wrong.

After checking the progress of the new house, I slowly set out on the road home as the sun set. The autumn wind was chilling, a bit colder than the autumn harvest. The leaves on the branches were shaken by the wind, leaving only a few pieces, playing their own death melody.

When we got to the backyard, we went to the cowshed to check on the two cows. Shufeng had also untied the ropes and was eating grass in another shed.

When Su Yun saw her come back, she ran up to greet her and told her what happened at home that day.

It is said that this afternoon, a man took advantage of the fact that no one was at home and sneaked in from outside the back door. No one knew what he was doing, but he was kicked out by Uncle Li Hai.

Because the backyard was always busy during the day, the gate was always open, so some people wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

"Then why don't you ask Uncle Li Hai what the man's name is?" Huanxi realized that someone was planning something bad to his family, so he had to ask clearly so that he could have a backup plan.

Su Yun thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Li Hai didn't mention any names, he just cursed a few times. I think I heard something like 'idiot' or something like that."

Er Laizi? I remembered. My sister-in-law had come to my house to remind me that the Er Laizi family next door was planning to attack me. I guess it was this Er Laizi.

She remembered that Er Laizi's family seemed to be well-known in the village for being troublesome. The family was extremely bad, and every one of them was like Zhang Yanzi.

Since that idiot couldn't hold back any longer, he was going to make a move on her in the next few days. Since she had to plow the fields during the day, there wouldn't be anyone at home. She didn't believe that idiot would let go of this opportunity that was right there at her doorstep.

In this way, the family has been eating and drinking as usual for the past two days.

He went to borrow a cow from Uncle Lu Gen. During the day, Xu Qingzhao went to the fields to watch the people plowing the land. Huanxi would also go to the fields from time to time to make her presence felt. Then, she would use this as an excuse to send the children out to play and give the workers a day off.

Seeing that Er Laizi still didn't take the bait, he could only ask Xu Qingzhao to drive the carriage and take the servants out in the sunset, pretending to go shopping.

In a nearby tree, Er Laizi saw that everyone in Huanxi's family had left and thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After looking around and realizing that only the mother and daughter were left at home, he sneaked in from the backyard.

In order to make it easier for Er Laizi, Huan Xi thoughtfully left the door unlocked…

The children went to Lu's house to play at this time. Yu Yan was reading in her room. Huanxi kept watching the movements in the yard and looked at Da Sun, Old Mrs. Tian, ​​and Liu in the kitchen.

He shushed them and whispered, "There's going to be a good show to watch."

Lu Lin had her hair tied up and was wearing clothes of a similar color to Zhao Huanxi's. In the twilight, she actually looked a bit like Huanxi, except that she looked a little taller and a little stronger.

Lu Lin pursed his lips. If his younger sister had not been very helpful to his family before, he would never have dressed like this even if he was beaten to death.

Several women covered their mouths and laughed so hard that they shook with laughter. They didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing their happy plans.

They also knew that the purpose of calling them here was to drown that idiot and his family with just a spit from each of them.

At this time, Er Laizi had already reached the patio. Lu Lin received a hint of joy and went out of the kitchen and headed towards the bathroom.

Seeing the happy-looking Shengying coming out of the kitchen, Erlaizi swallowed his saliva several times. Seeing that Shengying went to the bathroom, he slowly followed along the wall.

He hadn't noticed that, in order to lure him in, the only lights today were two small tung oil lamps. The dim light was extremely dim, and in Er Laizi's eyes, it was full of ambiguous atmosphere.

He could already imagine Zhao Huanxi thrashing about on the bed. Once he became her woman, unless this divorced woman jumped into the river, she would never escape his control. Even if she died, she would die in his ancestral tomb, so that the property would be legitimate.

From Erlaizi's perspective, Huanxi was washing her face with her back to the door in the ceramic basin on the washstand. Her figure was graceful and every move seemed to be tempting him to commit a crime.

He rubbed his hands which were numb from nervousness, licked his cracked lips, took a step or two forward, hugged her from behind, and greedily sucked in the scent of "Huanxi".

He was still thinking in his mind that money really does nourish people. The sweet smell on her body made him lose consciousness in an instant.

"Sister, have you been waiting for me for a long time? I know you have me in your heart, otherwise why would you leave the door open for me?"

These extremely greasy words made Lu Lin feel physically uncomfortable.

Er Laizi, who was holding Huanxi, didn't feel any resistance from her, so he felt that what he said must be right. Just as he was about to take off his pants and do something big, Huanxi in his arms said in a rough voice:

"Did you hug enough, idiot?"

This sound frightened Er Laizi so much that he almost turned into a father-in-law. Before he could react, people had gathered outside, holding lanterns, lighting up the room instantly.

"You, what are you doing? Zhao Huanxi asked me to come! She agreed, but it's not your turn to complain."
