Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The land where the courtyard was to be built had been selected, and Lu Chuan and Meng Tong had leveled it completely in the past five days.

Today is an auspicious day, suitable for breaking ground.

Lu Chuan ate breakfast early in the morning and then took Lu He and Lu Yan to their destination. As for Meng Tong, she took advantage of Lu Huai's sleep to go to town using the "green carpet".

The target headed precisely towards the brick kiln, but before even entering, Meng Tong saw thick smoke floating in the sky.

The woman raised an eyebrow slightly, then stepped into the brick kiln.

The once quiet and desolate remote factory is now bustling with activity.

The three men, each with a dry towel around their neck and shirtless, saw Meng Tong approaching.

He quickly wiped the sweat from his face and ran over.

"Madam, you are here."

"Yes, where are the two of them?"

Meng Tong glanced around but didn't spot Niu Dagou or Yan Ge's shadow.

He explained with a smile, "The two of them are in another brick kiln! Because this one is almost ready to come out of the kiln, we don't need to keep an eye on it much."

"Is it coming out of the kiln? Today?"

"Yes, it will be ready to come out of the kiln later. It's the result of our hard work these past few days. Madam, take a look in a bit."

"it is good."

A satisfied smile played on Meng Tong's lips as she looked at Yan Zhong and asked, "Do you know how many bricks we'll get out of the kiln this time?"

"Probably... a few hundred yuan!" Yan Zhong scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and said, "Mainly because we don't have many people, plus we need to prepare materials for firing the brick kiln, so..."

She glanced furtively at Meng Tong, then rubbed her hands together, clearly terrified.

The lady of the house sent them to do this job, and they were treated to good food and drink. They only produced this few bricks in five days, and they felt quite bad about it.

Unexpectedly, Meng Tong nodded in satisfaction.

She said, "It's pretty good. What I want is quality. Besides, there are only three of you. It's already quite good that you've achieved this much."

"Madam Xie is understanding."

With a smile and a bow, Yan Jun breathed a sigh of relief and led her to Niu Da Gou and the other man.

His face was pitch black and covered in grime. Yan Ge, who was originally quite fair-skinned, now had a completely ashen face. When he saw Meng Tong coming over, the boy stood up and showed a set of white teeth.

"lady."

"Hmm, how are you getting used to it?"

After scanning the two of them, Meng Tong asked a question.

The two people standing next to each other nodded quickly, and Niu Dagou even asked excitedly, "Is Madam leaving soon?"

"Not yet? We'll wait and see when you come out of the kiln."

“Really.” Niu Dagou’s eyes lit up, as if he was very confident in his brick kiln skills.

He said, "The lady will be satisfied."

"Okay, I'll wait." With a grin, Meng Tong instructed the others to continue working before she strolled up the mountain behind the brick kiln.

Seeing how hard they worked and how dedicated they were, Meng Tong felt she had to reward them.

Why not take a stroll up the mountain and hunt a pheasant to make soup?

……

The wisp of supernatural power emanating from her right hand emitted a faint orange-red hue, its allure multiplied compared to the previous pale green.

He attached his supernatural power to a blade of grass, and a faint fragrance lingered around it. The grass grew slowly, and the animals that had been lured in were also slowly approaching.

Within minutes, Meng Tong was sitting under a big tree. She slightly raised her eyelids and saw several rabbits and pheasants, tentatively circling around the grass.

Sometimes it pecks at the grass with its sharp beak, sometimes it sniffs with its nose; each has its own trick.

Meng Tong watched quietly without making a sound to disturb them. When more and more pheasants and even wild boars approached, Meng Tong opened his clear eyes.

With a slight lift of its palm, the seemingly sentient vines spread rapidly, and no animal that approached could escape its clutches.

A pheasant, a wild boar, and a wild rabbit were tied up.

Meng Tong gained a lot from this trip.

Taking out a sharp long knife from his spatial storage, Meng Tong quickly dissected a wild boar.

Carrying half a carcass of pork and two pheasants, Meng Tong walked around the brick kiln and entered through the main gate.

Before they arrived, Meng Tong carried the things directly into the area where they were cooking.

They also replenished some food supplies.

……

At midday, when the sun is high in the sky, the bricks fired by Niu Dagou are about to come out of the kiln.

Meng Tong casually picked up a straw hat, put it on, and followed Yan Zhong behind.

After the fire subsided, the brick kiln was at a temperature that was acceptable to humans. Niu Dagou, dressed in a gray-blue short-sleeved shirt, took a long wooden stick and walked towards the brick kiln.

Pry open the iron gate blocking the brick kiln entrance, and you'll see stacks of neat bricks.

Niu Dagou grabbed the nearest brick and walked towards Meng Tong with a smile.

"Madam, please take a look."

Looking down at the brick in Niu Dagou's hand, Meng Tong exclaimed in surprise, "The blue bricks you made."

“Yes! My ancestors were brick makers. Madam, look at the quality... it’s excellent, it could even be used to build city walls.”

Niu Dagou was very confident in his skills, and the usually taciturn man became quite talkative.

Niu Dagou explained everything in detail, from selecting materials and making the clay body to firing and controlling the temperature.

The two people standing to the side, Yan Ge and Yan Bi, were stunned.

I never imagined there was so much to learn here.

Because of the outstanding performance of Niu Dagou and the other two, Meng Tong returned home with a smile in his eyes.

This means she is one step closer to her dream of becoming a landlord.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, with kilns being fired and land being plowed.

In this turbulent and unsettling Wei Kingdom, it is rare to find such a peaceful and tranquil place.

People who previously had ulterior motives are gradually integrating into this lifestyle.

……

Early March.

Spring has arrived in full bloom; the once withered branches are now covered in green, and colorful flowers are quietly blooming.

The hundreds of acres of grain planted in Duanshan Village have ripened without anyone noticing.

The golden rice paddies bent the stalks under their weight as I stood on the edge of the field, gazing at the view before me.

The joy of a bountiful harvest kept Meng Tong smiling.

"My wife, is it time to harvest today?"

"Hmm, that's about enough." Bending down and pinching a handful of rice stalks, Meng Tong looked up at Lu Chuan beside her and said, "We won't harvest today. I have to go to Xiangshui Village to sow seeds. Do you want to come with me?"

The man replied without hesitation, "Go."

For more than a month, he had been staying in Duanshan Village, doing nothing but building walls, and had no time to spend with his wife.

Since such a rare opportunity arose, Lu Chuan was naturally happy to join in.

While we're at it, we should also check out the changes in Xiangshui Village, and if necessary, let them know of his existence as "Master".
