The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

The three or four-year-old child spoke clearly, like a little adult, "Mom said that Fubao's illness was cured by Auntie. Fubao should be grateful and repay Auntie in the future."

Chen Xier, who was standing by, was very pleased to hear this.

Song Yuntang glanced in her direction, then patted Fubao's head and said, "Fubao is so good, but Auntie doesn't want Fubao to repay you now. What Fubao needs to do now is to take good care of his body and grow up healthily. Do you understand?"

Fubao nodded, not quite understanding.

"Fubao knows."

Catching sight of the rabbit doll he had placed aside, Song Yuntang asked, "Is this your toy?"

"Uncle Mazi made it for me because he was worried I'd get bored staying in my room alone. Uncle Jinsheng and Uncle Zhiye also made me a katydid and a praying mantis out of cattail grass." He leaned closer to Song Yuntang, covered his mouth with his small hands, and whispered, "It's just that the katydids and praying mantises they made are too similar, so I always get them wrong."

After hearing this, Song Yuntang couldn't help laughing.

"Is it so similar?"

Fubao climbed to the bedside with his butt sticking out and brought "Katydid" and "Mantis" to Song Yuntang.

"Auntie, look."

Song Yuntang held the two "insects" in his hands, looked at them from left to right, and they looked neither like katydids nor mantises, but more like two bundles of grass.

She said with a strange look, "This... is indeed difficult to distinguish. No wonder Fubao made a mistake. I almost didn't recognize it."

In other words, children are easy to fool and have strong imagination. The craftsmanship of my second brother and third cousin can only fool a three-year-old child.

Song Yuntang couldn't tell what he was talking about, so Fubao smiled while holding two small bundles of grass, revealing a row of small teeth.

Song Yuntang took Fubao's pulse, confirmed that he was fine, and then left.

She looked at Chen Xier and said, "You should be older than me. From now on, I will call you Sister Xier."

Chen Xier nodded, "Okay."

"I plan to open a tavern in town. I wonder if Sister Xier would be able to go there and help out after Fubao recovers?" Song Yuntang stated his purpose directly.

Chen Xier quickly responded, "Of course, that's no problem. Miss Song saved my son, so from now on, I belong to Miss Song. I'll do whatever she arranges. As long as Miss Song can continue to take us in and keep us fed, I'll be content."

In today's world, it is not easy for a woman to live alone, especially for a divorced woman with a child.

For her, if she could rely on Song Yuntang and repay his kindness while raising the child, she would be very satisfied.

Song Yuntang smiled, "Don't worry, as long as you help me wholeheartedly, I'll have you and your daughter to feed. Take good care of Fubao these few days. You can stop taking the medicine today and tomorrow after he finishes it. The blisters on Fubao's body have scabbed over and are no longer contagious. Let him get out and move around to strengthen his body."

As she spoke, she handed her the two sachets she had brought with her.

"Hang these two sachets in the yard."

Chen Xier reached out and took it, "Okay."

Song Yuntang looked at the other rooms again. Perhaps because she was about to move in, the blue bricks in the house had been laid flat and cleaned thoroughly, without a trace of dust.

The toilet was also rebuilt according to her standards in the town.

We can move in directly after she moves the furniture from town.

When going out, Chen Xier prepared a bunch of wild vegetables for Song Yuntang that she had dug from the mountains early in the morning.

"Miss Song, take this to town and eat it. I picked it from the mountains this morning."

The two mountains here belong to the manor. Originally, few people came here. Since Song Yuntang bought this place and surrounded the mountains, even fewer people come here.

Seeing that she still had some left, Song Yuntang didn't refuse.

"Just go ahead and do your thing. I'll go check out the woodshed. I'll bring you some oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she came to the gate of the courtyard and walked towards the wooden shed with Xu Qingye.

The men who were originally chattering while working shut up when they saw Song Yuntang and Xu Qingye walking towards them.

Qiao Da looked at the two of them politely.

"Yun Tang girl, Mr. Xu, you are here."

Song Yuntang smiled at everyone, "Everyone is busy. I just went to see Fubao. The blisters on his body have scabbed over and the contagiousness is very low. We'll observe him for another two or three days. If there are no problems, we can all go home and reunite on Yuexi Festival."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But the expressions on the faces of the four people who came to help, except Song Mazi, soon became heavy again.

After finishing their work here, they have nothing to do.

Song Jinsheng emerged from the woods.

"Tang'er, let me tell you something."

Song Yuntang followed Song Jinsheng to the side.

"What does Second Brother want to say to me?"

Song Jinsheng glanced towards the wooden shed and lowered his voice, "I think the four people who came to help at the farm this time are all pretty good. Brother Mazi still has to make furniture, so he does have some work to do. As for the others, is there anything else you want them to do?"

"Have you finished all the work in the mountains?" Song Yuntang asked.

Song Jinsheng nodded. "We've finished all the work in the mountains. You suggested digging a small pond near the duck shed, but Uncle Qiao suggested we make it bigger, preferably with a spring so we can raise some fish in it. Do you want to keep digging?"

"That suggestion can be adopted." Song Yuntang looked at him, "Don't worry about building the furniture and digging the pond. If nothing unexpected happens, I still have other urgent things to assign to them."

"What's the matter?" Song Jinsheng asked.

"I'm planning to buy a tavern in town. If I need to renovate the shop, it might require quite a bit of manpower."

Song Jinsheng was a little surprised, "When?"

Song Yuntang said, "I'll give you a reply this afternoon. If everything goes well, we can start repairs tomorrow."

Song Jinsheng said hurriedly, "Then I'll wait for your news. Anyway, they are helping to make bamboo pots for the time being. If you need help, I can lead them to the town tomorrow. Then we can fence off the area around the shop and try to avoid contact with people."

Song Yuntang hummed, "Do you have enough money?"

Song Jinsheng calculated in his heart, "After deducting the money spent on wood, bamboo, bricks and tiles these days, there are less than two taels left. Yue Xi's wages for the opening day are still two taels short."

Song Yuntang turned sideways, completely avoiding everyone's sight, and took out his purse. While taking out the silver from the purse, he asked, "Has Second Brother calculated his own wages?"

Song Jinsheng touched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Forget about mine. Even though I'm helping you, I feel like I haven't done anything all day long."

Mainly, he's the older brother.

I always feel that it is a bit embarrassing for a brother to ask his sister to pay him for helping her.
