The next day, Song Yuntang got up early and had breakfast with them at Mu Dong's house. Then, Mu Dong took him to Uncle Qin's house.

While the two sides were talking, Uncle Qin's wife Zheng, although feeling uncomfortable due to her pregnancy, watched the whole process from the side.

To be on the safe side, Song Yuntang said something out loud, "Uncle Qin, let's make it clear in advance that when I move into your yard, there will be nothing there. When I buy some things, I will move them with me when we move in the future."

Uncle Qin nodded quickly, "Of course."

Zheng sneered.

"What good things can someone who has to rent a place to live have? It's like they care about no one."

Hearing the voice, Song Yuntang couldn't help but look in Zheng's direction. No wonder Uncle Qin and his wife would rather spend a lot of money to build a house just to move out. Their daughter-in-law is really not an easy person to get along with.

Uncle Qin's face flashed with unnaturalness, and he apologized to Song Yuntang repeatedly.

"Miss Song, I'm sorry, please don't take her words to heart."

"That's not the case." Song Yuntang shook his head and took out two contracts he had drafted earlier. "To prevent any confusion between the two parties, this is the contract I drafted. Let's sign it and I'll pay you the rent."

Uncle Qin hadn't said anything yet when his wife, Zheng, glanced over and said sarcastically, "What kind of contract is this? It's not a scam, is it? Dad, don't you pay the house and still have to pay the money?"

Sun, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but yell at Zheng, "You're so clever! It's fine if you act arrogantly in front of us normally, but now that we have guests here, you should hold your tail between your legs and don't lose face!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng cursed angrily, "You old fool! I'm still pregnant with your grandson."

Sun stood up and replied, "You already know you're pregnant, why don't you just calm down?"

After hearing this, Zheng stomped her feet in anger and went back to her room.

Song Yuntang cleared his throat.

"If the yard of my uncle and aunt's house is not convenient for renting, I can also look for other places."

Sun quickly put on a smiling face and looked at Song Yuntang.

"Our daughter-in-law has always been a source of worry. Don't worry about it, young lady. I can also promise you here that I will not take the house back for at least three years, and I will not let my daughter-in-law go to your place."

With Sun's promise, Song Yuntang felt much more at ease.

However, the courtyard she rented was more than ten houses away from here and close to the center of Cile Town. Zheng was pregnant and probably didn't have the energy to dance in front of her for a while.

After signing the contract and paying two months' rent, Song Yuntang went to Mu Dong's house to get his things. He also borrowed a rag, broom and bucket from Cui and went to the yard he had just rented.

I have to clean the house first, and then go buy the things that are in short supply now.

When Tian saw Mu Dong following Song Yuntang with medicinal herbs and a bucket on his back, she hurriedly urged her son.

"Wei'er, go and help Miss Song too."

Wu Wei nodded and followed him.

The three of them came to the small courtyard. After Mu Dong put the large bag of medicinal herbs into the house, he first took the bucket to the well not far away to fetch a bucket of water.

"Miss Song, it must be inconvenient for you to fetch water here by yourself. From now on, as long as I am free, I will come to fetch water for you every day."

He put the bucket in the yard, wet the rag and began to clean the doors and windows carefully.

"Will this be too much trouble for you?"

Song Yuntang asked while pulling the grass in the yard.

Mu Dong smiled brightly, "It's not a big deal. You can use water by yourself, so running two or three times won't take much effort."

Wu Wei was sweeping the floor in the room with a broom, listening to the conversation between the two, feeling a little envious.

It would be great if he could speak like a normal person earlier. Until now, he has not fully adapted and always feels embarrassed to speak.

Mu Dong looked into the room and said, "Wu Wei, sprinkle some water first before sweeping. If you just sweep the dust, the doors and windows I just cleaned will be dusted off."

"it is good."

Wu Wei responded hoarsely, walked over to Mu Dong, took the bucket and went to sprinkle water on the house.

Song Yuntang walked around the two rooms, the kitchen and the toilet. Although the kitchen was not big, two stoves side by side were enough. There was only a big pit in the toilet, and she had to build a board on it to use it as a squat toilet.

Thinking back to my experience in Rongshu Village, going to the toilet was too scary every time, so I had to make some changes.

"Mudong, is there a bricklayer nearby?"

Mu Dong glanced in her direction and said, "I've done odd jobs for others before. If it's not too complicated, I can do it."

Song Yuntang nodded, immediately took out a piece of paper and drew a blueprint on the wall, then went to ask Uncle Qin for instructions. After he nodded, he allowed Mu Dong to start the renovation of the toilet after cleaning the doors and windows.

Wu Wei cleaned the house and started to help Mu Dong.

Although he doesn't speak clearly, he is a good worker.

Seeing that the two were busy, Song Yuntang prepared to go out to buy some things needed at home, and bring a few buns for them to have for lunch. As soon as he went out, he saw Grandpa Sun driving a ox cart towards them.

"Tang'er!" Song Jinsheng, who was sitting on the oxcart, jumped off the cart and ran towards Song Yuntang the moment he saw her. "You didn't even say hello to my second brother when you came to town yesterday. I was worried all night."

Song Yuntang had a faint smile on his lips.

"I was in a hurry to find a house, so I didn't tell my eldest and second brothers."

As the ox cart approached, Xu Qingye also jumped off the cart.

"I remembered that you said yesterday that you would tell them the location once you confirmed it, so I brought your second brother here."

Song Yuntang shook his head. "It's okay. It saves me from having to send someone else on another trip."

Song Jinsheng didn't want the two of them to talk too much, so he directly pulled Song Yuntang to the ox cart, took the medicine box from the ox cart and put it in Song Yuntang's hand.

"I've made your medicine box for you. Inside is the 900 coins from the settlement of the three water truck orders that Brother Mazi recently accepted. Keep it well. And this..." He said as he took the dresser off the ox cart. "I heard from Mr. Xu that you had nothing here, so I took the initiative to bring you this new dresser."

"It's just what I need." Song Yuntang opened the courtyard door, "Second brother, please help me move in."

Song Jinsheng was very energetic and carried the small dressing table by himself without much effort. He asked as he walked, "Is there anything else I can help you with? I asked Mazi for a day off today, so I can lend you a hand."

Song Yuntang said towards the courtyard, "Mu Dong and Wu Wei are busy in there. Second brother, see if you can help. I asked Brother Xu to take me shopping and I'll be back soon."

"Row."

It was not until the two men said something to Grandpa Sun, got on his ox cart and drove away that Song Jinsheng turned back belatedly.

"Why are you and Xu Qingye going? I'm familiar with the town."

Looking at the backs of the two sitting side by side on the ox cart, he felt annoyed no matter how he looked at them. "They are five years older than me, their brother! Humph!"
