You are unlucky and I am tough

"You're saving it for me?"

Cheng Shuang sneered sarcastically, "Why don't you just ask me to give you some of the money I earned from selling ginseng?"

Even though Hu Chunhua was as thick-skinned as a city wall, she felt a little embarrassed by Cheng Shuang's smile.

She argued, "I just wanted to save it for you. You just got married and your husband bullied you. Without your parents' elders to take charge of you, how are you going to live in the future?"

"Auntie is such a good person. Please hide when it rains, or you might get struck by lightning."

Cheng Shuang's face was filled with disgust, and she didn't want to say anything shamelessly. She said coldly, "I advise you to give up on this idea. Whether it's my money or the Wei family's, you won't be able to touch a single penny."

"You ungrateful little bitch."

Hu Chunhua was furious when she saw Cheng Shuang was unmoved. She pointed at her and said, "You took my kindness for granted, and you dared to curse me to be struck by lightning? I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action.

Cheng Shuang dodged sideways, turned around and ran into the kitchen, picked up the dirty water that had just been used to wash the pickled meat but had not yet been poured out, and came out and poured it all over Hu Chunhua.

"what....."

Hu Chunhua screamed, wiped the sticky hand off her face, and rushed up to hit Cheng Shuang in a mad manner.

Cheng Shuang went back to the kitchen, took a stick and pointed it at her, with no fear in her eyes, "Come up and try."

The two younger brothers were so scared that they huddled against the wall. Just as they were confronting each other, Wei Qinglang and Wei Nanxing came back. Each of the brothers carried a few bamboos and threw them on the ground.

Wei Qinglang saw Cheng Shuang with a clown face, holding a stick in his hand and pointing it arrogantly at Hu Chunhua, who was soaked and in a mess.

"What's going on?" he asked as he hurried into the yard.

When Hu Chunhua saw Wei Qinglang coming back, her expression immediately changed.

She cried out, "Oh Qinglang, please judge for me. Your wife is so unreasonable. She beats and scolds me, an elder, and even throws dirty water at me. Look at what she has done to me."

Wei Qinglang took a step aside in disdain and said coldly, "Why are you coming to my house?"

"I heard that the money I earned from selling the ginseng went into your hands, so you're here to make the decision for me."

Cheng Shuang was the first to reply, "She said she would help me get some of the silver back. She's saving it for me."

She couldn't help rolling her eyes as she said this, "I'm so touched."

When Wei Qinglang heard this, he immediately understood what was going on and his face darkened.

"Aunt Hu, have you forgotten what you said before? Cheng Shuang has entered our Wei family. Both she and her siblings are now members of the Wei family.

If you see the benefit and want to use your status as an elder to pester me, we will go to the head of the village and write a letter of severance."

Hu Chunhua's face turned livid when she heard this, and her hand trembled as she pointed at Wei Qinglang in anger. "Ugh, your whole family is full of ungrateful people."

If she breaks off the engagement, then there will be no relationship at all. How can she ask them to raise money for her talented man to take the exam in the future? She definitely cannot break off the engagement.

Cheng Shuang had also thought about breaking off the engagement, but it was not so easy to do so in this dynasty. The thought of this made her even more annoyed.

When can I get rid of this bunch of weird relatives?

"Are you going to leave or not? If you don't, I'll really beat you." Cheng Shuang raised the stick again impatiently.

"Give me your sister-in-law, I'll kick her out." Wei Nanxing also had a cold face and walked over to ask Cheng Shuang for a stick.

After getting the stick, he raised it up and pretended to hit someone. Seeing Wei Nanxing's fierce look, Hu Chunhua was so scared that she turned and ran away.

After Hu Chunhua's fleeing figure quickly disappeared outside the courtyard gate, the yard finally returned to peace.

The two younger brothers ran over and looked at Cheng Shuang with admiration, "Big sister is so amazing."

They were so afraid of their aunt. She used to twist their ears until they bled, which was so painful.

Cheng Shuang snorted lightly, "That's right, if she dares to come again, I will chase her with a big stick and beat her."

Seeing her smug look, Wei Qinglang shook his head and said with a smile, "You've turned into a cat. Go wash your face first. Nanxing, help your sister-in-law light a fire."

Cheng Shuang raised her hand to touch her face, and saw that her hands were black, so she quickly went into the kitchen to get some water to wash her face.

After a speechless episode, Cheng Shuang continued to cook. Wei Nanxing lit the fire and she put the meat in to steam, then washed the wild vegetables and mushrooms that Cheng Pan and the others had dug up during the day.

After the meat was steamed, I cut it into thin slices with a knife, and made a mushroom and egg soup and stir-fried wild grass, and dinner was ready.

It was getting dark outside. Cheng Pan and Wei Xinyi had already come back from cutting grass. Together with Cheng Chen and Cheng Xu, they were outside feeding the donkey with the grass.

Everyone loves donkeys very much.

Cheng Shuang carried the steaming hot dishes to the main room and shouted outside, "Come back for dinner."

Wei Qinglang ran back and forth several times carrying bamboos and stacked them neatly on the ground outside the courtyard wall.

Hearing Cheng Shuang's call, he wiped the dust off his hands, turned around and said to his brothers and sisters, "Let's go, stop playing, wash your hands and eat first."

The whole family sat together to eat. They had a full meal every day these days, and there were meat dishes on the table.

The way the brothers and sisters ate had obviously become much more refined. They no longer ate as voraciously and without restraint as before.

Cheng Shuang looked at them and saw that their complexions seemed to be better, but they still looked malnourished.

She thought to herself that next time she went to the clinic, she would bring back some medicine to give them some good health.

Of course, she also needs some conditioning.

The original owner had been in a state of hunger for a long time, which probably damaged his spleen and stomach, resulting in insufficient Qi and blood in the body, weight loss, loose and weak muscles, and extreme weakness.

I also feel full without eating much, and my sleep quality is terrible.

While Cheng Shuang was thinking about taking care of her younger brother and sister-in-law, Wei Qinglang was thinking about building a house.

Halfway through the meal, Wei Qinglang said to his brothers and sisters, "I have something to tell you. Your sister-in-law and I have discussed it and decided to build a new house."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shuang nodded and agreed under the surprised gazes of her brothers and sisters, "Yes, this place is still too dilapidated, and it will be very troublesome to repair it. Let's buy a piece of wasteland and build a new house."

When the younger ones heard this, their eyes sparkled with longing and anticipation for the new house.

Wei Nanxing, who was a bit older and more thoughtful, frowned slightly and said, "This will cost a lot of money. We also have to spend money to buy the wasteland in the village. Does your family have enough money to build a house?"

Wei Qinglang said slowly, "Don't worry about the money. I plan to build a house at the foot of the bamboo mountain. I'll use the bamboo from the mountain to build a bamboo house that is big enough for my family to live in. It won't cost much."

"Bamboo house?" Wei Nanxing had seen bamboo houses in the next village before, and he thought they were beautiful at that time.

He nodded and said, "Then I'll listen to my brother and sister-in-law. I can be responsible for cutting bamboo. As long as our family is together, we can be happy wherever we live."

Cheng Pan's eyes sparkled, and he quickly said, "I can help, so we can hire one less person."

"Sister-in-law, what does a bamboo house look like?" Wei Xinyi blinked her eyes, her face full of curiosity. "I've never lived in a bamboo house before."

Cheng Shuang smiled and replied, "A bamboo house, it means the whole house is made of bamboo. When you live in it, the breeze blows and the air is filled with the fragrance of bamboo."

"Will bamboo shoots grow in that house?" Cheng Xu tilted his head and asked curiously.

Wei Qinglang was amused, "That might be difficult."

Cheng Chen tapped his brother's head lightly with the end of his chopsticks. "Stupid! How can bamboo shoots grow if the bamboo has been cut down?"

The family talked about building a house while eating, and agreed that the first step would be to buy the land tomorrow.

After dinner, Wei Qinglang took out several sets of four treasures of the study that had been neglected since they were brought home.

The lights were on in the main room, and Wei Qinglang announced that from today on, the class would last for an hour every night, with a quarter-hour break in between.

Cheng Shuang was eager to try and said that she would teach on her first day.

Both he and Wei Qinglang started learning to read when their mothers were still alive, so there was no need to explain why they could read.

Among the brothers and sisters, only Cheng Pan could recognize some words. The original owner's mother taught her for two years when she was a child.

After Cheng Shuang handed out the materials, she said, "Pan'er, you've learned part of the Three Character Classic before, but your brothers and sisters haven't learned it yet. I'll teach you from the beginning as a refresher."

Cheng Pan nodded. She was very happy that she could start reading and learning to read again.

Cheng Shuang opened the book and coughed lightly. "Everyone sit down. Let's learn the first sentence of the Three Character Classic. Read it first and then write it. Come and read with me, 'When a person is born, his nature is good.'"

The five people sitting around the table spoke in unison, "Man is inherently good."

Wei Qinglang watched from the side for a while, and after confirming that Cheng Shuang had no problem teaching these children, he returned to the room alone and entered the space.

He searched for some information on the computer, and then began to draw, drawing the bamboo house structure he had in mind.
