My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Ji Yunshuang calmly made up a story: "There might be a hot pool nearby, so it's warmer and the climate is different from other places. The wild vegetables I brought back today were all picked from that area."

Gu Chunzhi exclaimed excitedly, "There are such good places?"

She has learned a lot these days.

I know that some wealthy and powerful families would specifically buy places where hot spring pools could be dug out as estates, and spend a few days there in the winter, or have the tenant farmers grow some fresh vegetables that are not available in winter.

Her eyes lit up as she looked at Ji Yunshuang with excitement.

Ji Yunshuang could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her eyes. "That place is deep in the mountains, far from the village, and there are countless wild beasts along the way."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chunzhi immediately abandoned her idea of ​​planting vegetables there.

But she can't stay idle.

Since she couldn't help much at the shop, she decided to tidy up the courtyard of the new house first. While Ji Yunshuang was at home, she asked Ji Yunshuang about her plans for the courtyard.

Ji Yunshuang had previously planned to add a sturdy wall around the courtyard to enclose the entire area.

However, the Zhao family's house has not been built yet, so it's best to build the courtyard wall after the house is completed.

However, the stones needed to repair the courtyard wall can be prepared in advance.

Nowadays, besides the Zhao family, the Li family is also building a house in the village.

Moreover, unlike the Lu and Zhao families who simply built a few mud-brick houses, the Li family planned to build a two-courtyard house.

Recently, apart from the workers who work for the Zhao family, almost all the other families who could spare manpower have gone to work for the Li family.

It's not easy to find someone to help right now.

After thinking it over, Ji Yunshuang finally decided to replace the stone with red bricks.

Now that the family's shop in the city is on track, Gu Chunzhi is no longer surprised when she hears that they are going to bring red bricks to repair the courtyard wall.

On the contrary, I feel a little regretful, thinking that it would be better if my house was also built with bricks.

"I'll ask around tomorrow to see where I can buy red bricks," Gu Chunzhi said. "Shuangniang, you go and take care of your important matters as young people. You don't need to worry about such trivial things. You can also leave other small matters to us."

Ji Yunshuang thought for a moment, then simply took out the sketch she had drawn earlier, showed it to her, and explained which areas she planned to pave with pebbles and which areas she planned to plant flowers and grass.

She drew it with charcoal, and the whole picture was in black and white, but Gu Chunzhi seemed to already see the courtyard paved with pebbles and the flowers and plants blooming inside the courtyard walls.

She exclaimed excitedly, "Shuangniang, did you draw this?"

Ji Yunshuang nodded, and Gu Chunzhi praised, "Your painting is so beautiful, and you have such a clever idea. If this courtyard were decorated like your painting, wouldn't it be like living in a painting!"

She never dreamed that she would enjoy such blessings in her life. And the one who brought her this blessing was her daughter-in-law, whom she hadn't initially thought highly of.

While she was happy, she also felt a pang of guilt and took on all the work, such as picking up pebbles.

Ji Yunshuang didn't need to worry about the house in the countryside for the time being, so she focused her main energy on the two estates.

Hu Mingzhuang was eager to impress Ji Yunshuang, so he put in his utmost effort in building the ranch fence.

The renovation of Shantou Ranch is progressing rapidly. At the current pace, the entire ranch will be completed in about half a month.

When Ji Yunshuang returned from the mountains once again, she brought out a bull from her spatial dimension.

The cow that Ji Yunshuang took out from her spatial storage had already become big news in the village.

After all, the villagers usually see either yellow cattle or water buffalo, which are used for plowing and, at most, for eating meat.

They had never seen a cow like the black and white cow that the Lu family owned, one that could produce a lot of milk.

Even after Gu Chunzhi said that the wild buffalo was caught by her daughter-in-law in the mountains, many people doubted her words, saying that they had also gone into the mountains to hunt and collect wild goods, but they had never seen such a buffalo before, and felt that there could not be such a wild buffalo in the mountains.

When the villagers saw the cow that Ji Yunshuang brought back from the mountain today, they were in an uproar.

"Are there really those strangely shaped black and white cows in the mountains?"

The land chosen by the Li family was near the village head's house. Recently, many villagers have been building houses for the Li family, so when Ji Yunshuang led the cow home, everyone saw her immediately.

After the initial shock, villagers immediately dropped what they were doing and came forward to inquire, "Madam Lu, did you come from the mountains?"

Li Yaozong also ran quickly to Ji Yunshuang's side, gazing at her with infatuation.

Ji Yunshuang had just returned from the mountains. Her fair cheeks were slightly flushed, her hair was a little messy with a small twig on it, and her shoes were covered in mud.

She was completely different from any of the refined ladies he had ever met, yet he was infatuated with her and thought about her day and night.

Besides Li Yaozong, Shunzi was also looking at Ji Yunshuang. However, unlike Li Yaozong's infatuation, his gaze was filled with hatred and ruthlessness.

She thought to herself, "This woman is indeed as Wanying said, a restless vixen."

He thought bitterly that whenever he found an opportunity, he would definitely avenge his mother and Wanying.

Ji Yunshuang sensed a hostile atmosphere in the crowd, and instinctively looked towards Shunzi.

Seeing Ji Yunshuang looking in her direction, Shunzi immediately lowered her head guiltily, avoiding eye contact with her.

Ji Yunshuang's gaze remained fixed on Shunzi. After recognizing him, she frowned slightly, looked away, and answered the villager who had asked her the question: "Yes, he just came back from the mountain."

Upon hearing her answer, the villagers exclaimed excitedly, "Then the cow behind you, was it caught on the mountain?"

Ji Yunshuang nodded, then kindly reminded him, "I went into the mountains before dawn this morning. I caught this cow in the deep mountains. I even heard a tiger roar. Luckily, I was quick and didn't run into the tiger. The deep mountains are really too dangerous."

She was giving a friendly reminder because she was worried that some villagers might hear that she had caught a cow in the deep mountains and follow her into the mountains to catch cows, which could lead to danger.

But the villagers simply didn't believe it.

I thought, how could a woman like her dare to go deep into the mountains?

She must have caught the cow in the mountains.

Some villagers even thought that Ji Yunshuang was wicked, that she had caught such good cattle in the outer mountains and didn't want them to go into the mountains to catch cattle as well, so she told them that lie.

That evening, many villagers asked the Li family for leave and made plans to go into the mountains the next day.

These villagers went into the mountains, but naturally they couldn't find any white and spotted cows on the outskirts.

At this point, some villagers began to have doubts. "Could what Ji said be true? Could she really have caught the cow deep in the mountains? Should we go and check it out in the mountains too?"

Immediately, a villager said, "How is that possible? How could a woman go into the deep mountains? She must be lying to us. Let's search the outer mountains again."

The villagers searched for more than an hour in the outer mountains, but still couldn't find the black and white striped cow.

At this point, some people began to regret their decision, thinking that they should not have come.

Working for the Li family, you can earn more than ten coins!

As a result, I wasted the whole day and ended up getting nothing.

Some people were unwilling to give up and decided to try their luck in the deep mountains.
