"I'm so glad that Brother Xu is okay. Aunt Sun, let's go."

The backpack on Zhao Huanxi's back was quite heavy, and it was quite tiring to stand still.

The three of them slowly walked out of the city. When they arrived at the ox cart, Zhao Huanxi was already panting with exhaustion.

The older Sun, who was helping to drag the backpack from behind, was also very tired. She had discovered that although this girl looked frail, she was actually stronger than her, and she couldn't help but admire her.

"Girl Zhao, I didn't realize you had so much strength."

Aunt Sun was fanning herself at the side. Zhao Huanxi asked for a pot of tea from the shed and poured it for Aunt Sun to drink to ease her gas. He also quickly gulped down a large gulp and felt better.

Xu Qingzhao, who was standing next to him, secretly paid the money, poured a bowl for Uncle Lu Gen, and then drank it himself.

After loading the goods onto the ox cart, Zhao Huanxi was about to pay the money, but the old man who was watching the shed said that Xu Qingzhao had already paid. Zhao Huanxi was about to say with some embarrassment:

"Brother Xu, I should have paid for the tea. How can I do this?"

Xu Qingzhao smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's just a pot of tea, don't worry about it, Miss Zhao."

Since he said so, Zhao Huanxi didn't care. It was just a few cents worth of stuff, and he could just give him something else to make up for it later.

After packing up, they boarded the ox cart and started their journey home.

After a bumpy ride, they finally arrived home at dusk. Seeing that the girls were well behaved at home, Zhao Huanxi rewarded each of them with a candied haws.

Although this village has pleasant scenery, it is too far away from the bustling town. Every time I go to the town, it takes me half my life just to take the ox cart.

After sitting down and resting for a while, Zhao Huanxi carried the meat and brown sugar and went to Lu Laoer's house.

There wasn't much work to do in the fields recently, just some small chores like weeding. At this time, Lu Laoer and his wife also returned from the fields.

When Liu heard Zhao Huanxi say that he wanted to repair the house, she hurriedly said that she went to help that day, but Lu Lin didn't say much.

She told the old couple that she wanted to visit the elders in the village and that she had prepared a gift. The old couple then planned to take her to the homes of the Lu clan and some elders in the village.

When leaving with the old couple, Zhao Huanxi left behind a few pounds of pork and a pound of brown sugar. The old couple asked Liu to accept them and took Zhao Huanxi out to meet people.

After the three of them had gone far away, Lu Lin quietly chatted with Liu.

"Wife, where did my younger sister get the money?"

"I remember Mom mentioned that my younger sister went to the mountains to collect some medicinal herbs and sold them. Why, do you want to go and collect some too?"

Liu was busy with her own work and didn't notice Lu Lin's abnormality.

Lu Lin was thinking about a lot. It was a good thing that his younger sister was rich, but he just couldn't be happy. Even his younger sister, a woman, could build a big brick and tile house. Was he, as a man, no better than a 19-year-old woman?

Lu Lin was not the only one who had the same idea. When the villagers heard that Zhao Huanxi was going to build a new house, they were jealous and envious. Among them, Zhang Yanzi's family was the most indignant.

"Hmph, such a lucky guy! I even have to build a new house! Ugh!" Mrs. Zhang had been beaten last time and had been lying in bed for several days, relying entirely on her daughter-in-law, Lanhua, to take care of her in bed. She had only gotten out of bed two days ago, and now she didn't dare to curse in public, only grumbling quietly in her own yard.

"Mom...what are you talking about...it's time to eat."

When Lanhua saw Mrs. Zhang like this, she didn't dare to get close and shouted weakly at the kitchen door.

"Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat! Where's the second brother? Where did he go out to fool around again? You're also a loser!" After saying that, he ran into the kitchen and lifted the lid of the pot.

"Oh! You bitch! You put so much oil in the cooking! I'll beat you to death! You're not allowed to eat tonight!" Mrs. Zhang picked up the broom and hit Lanhua.

"Mom, stop hitting me. I know, Mom. I was wrong..."

Lanhua was weak in nature and was beaten without any ability to fight back. Seeing that her mother was furious, Lanhua could only run away to the back mountain crying.

Zhao Huanxi followed Old Master Lu and his wife to several houses, and finally finished work at the last house to send his parents back. He was walking back to his home under the moonlight when he unexpectedly walked to a remote path and heard movement behind a pile of firewood. It seemed like a woman was crying, and there was also the voice of a man comforting her.

She didn't want to get involved, but the two men were near her backyard, and she was afraid they were bad guys with bad intentions, so she simply found a secluded place to listen to what the two men were planning to do.

"Wow, I don't want to live anymore, mom is going crazy, I don't want to go back to that house anymore, wow"

"Huahua~ Don't be sad, I'm here. If your mom hits you in the future, just run outside and I'll pretend to come out to look for you. We'll meet here..."

The word "Huahua" gave Zhao Huanxi goosebumps. Oh my god, this is too corny and too greasy.

But hearing both of them calling for their mother, Zhao Huanxi thought they were some young couple looking for some excitement, so he let down his guard. Just as he was about to get up secretly and go home, he heard a shocking news.

"Sister-in-law, you smell so good~"

"Yinbao...be gentle. If mother sees me when we get home, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death..."

"Don't worry..."

After a while, I remembered some rustling sounds...

What the hell did I hear? Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! Isn't Yinbao the name of the second daughter-in-law of Mrs. Zhang's family? Sister-in-law...could it be Lanhua, Mrs. Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law? Oh my god, oh my god!

Isn't it said that people in ancient times were feudal and conservative? How could this be conservative? She remembered that Liu Yuanbao, the eldest son of the Liu family, went to work in the town. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law... Explosive... Too explosive...

Zhao Huanxi didn't want to listen to such inappropriate sounds anymore, so she quickly slipped away while the two of them weren't paying attention. She swore that she hadn't meant to eavesdrop, but it was just a few steps away from her backyard, so it was hard for her not to notice.

I didn't expect the two of them to be so bold. Zhao Huanxi felt scared all over when he thought of that call "Huahua".

He hurried home to see his lovely daughters to freshen his eyes, picked up Xiao Nian and gave her a kiss.

"Mom, it's so itchy"

"Mom, are we going to renovate our house?" "Yes, Mom, I heard a lot of people talking about it today."

Xiao Panxiao introduced her mother who had returned from a journey, handed her a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and then asked.

"That's right, our family is going to build a new house. Are you happy?"

"Really? Then should I also have my own room like Sister Meixiang?" Seeing Xiao Yin cheering, Zhao Huanxi smiled and agreed:

"That's right, each of you will have your own room. Mom will also make a dressing table and wardrobe for you. From now on, each of you will have your own room~"

Hearing their mother's words, the three sisters were so happy that they almost jumped up. They were already imagining the scene of moving in. Zhao Huanxi didn't have the heart to pour cold water on them. After all, it would take about two months to wait for the house to be repaired.

"Mom, you've worked hard. You don't have to cook today. Let me and my second sister do it."

Xiao Pan put her hands on her hips, looking like a little adult. Zhao Huanxi smiled and nodded, letting them perform on their own while he settled the accounts on the side.

When he was on the road with his parents in the afternoon, Old Master Lu said that he would leave the timber matter to him, and he would guarantee that the timber he found would be good and affordable. Zhao Huanxi was naturally relieved, after all, the old man had connections in the village.

He had almost spent thirty taels today, and had to pay the balance of forty taels tomorrow. Zhao Huanxi suddenly found that his money didn't last long. After all, he could hear the sound when he spent it, which was better than leaving it at home and being stolen by thieves.

And if this continues, others will probably know that they are rich and should raise a few vicious dogs to protect their home.

Xiao Pan's voice is rarely heard.

"Mom~ It's time to eat~"
