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

Everyone was happy to see Lu Chuan and Meng Tong. They all looked up to greet them before lowering their heads to continue their work.

For places where the ground has sunken down, they have to dig them up first, take out the dead branches and other things inside, and then several men come forward to fill them with soil.

There were still quite a few damaged parts along the street, and the people from Dawn Island joined Wu Biao's group not long after they arrived.

With more people working together, things become more efficient; in just one morning, they leveled almost half a street.

Following behind Wu Biao and Ming Yu, Lu Chuan and Meng Tong went directly to their residence.

Now everyone lives at the brick kiln at the end of the town.

They have already cleared up the collapsed area, some are building walls and others are cleaning up.

The brick kiln is now the most vibrant place in the entire town.

"Madam, it's been so long since you've been here. Look how much our brick kiln has changed!"

"Hmm." Nodding as she walked, Meng Tong glanced around the brick kiln.

The yard, which was originally a mess and overgrown with weeds, has now been cleared out, and several fire pits have been built with large iron pots placed on top.

At that moment, several women were cooking, and a rich aroma wafted into our nostrils.

"elder brother."

Sitting at the table cutting meat, Mingmei turned her head to look when she heard the noise outside the door.

The little girl has changed a lot since she started living in town. She used to be skin and bones, but now she has gained a lot of weight and her skin has become several shades lighter.

The posture of a graceful young girl.

Putting down the knife, the bright, watery eyes looked at the newcomer. The girl first called out "Ming Yu," then bowed to Meng Tong and Lu Chuan.

"Greetings, Madam and Master."

"cough……"

Lu Chuan was a little embarrassed, as it was the first time someone had called him "Master". His dark, deep eyes widened slightly in surprise, and then he took two steps back to look at the composed woman.

Meng Tong was already immune to the title of "Madam." She glanced at Lu Chuan, who seemed a little uncomfortable, and then just smiled slightly without saying anything.

Seeing that the women in the courtyard had all put down their work and come over to say hello, Meng Tong raised her hand and waved to Wu Biao, saying, "Let everyone go about their business. We just came to take a look, so there's no need to be so reserved."

"it is good."

Turning to the group of people who were looking down, Wu Biao said loudly, "Ladies, you don't need to wait here. Madam and the others just came to take a look. Everyone, go about your business."

"Mei'er, go and cut your meat, and bring over that jar of wine from my room in a bit."

"it is good."

Nodding, Mingmei glanced at her brother before returning to her seat to continue cutting meat.

Now everyone eats very well, with meat every three to five days. Bai Ye will lead the wolves out of the mountains for a trip.

Sometimes there are a dozen or so pheasants, sometimes a dozen or so rabbits, and occasionally wild boars, roe deer, and the like.

With enough to eat and drink and a peaceful life, no one would complain about anything.

Everyone feels satisfied with their current life.

……

After walking around the front yard of the brick kiln, Wu Biao led Meng Tong and the other person directly to see the brick kiln in the back.

There were previously six brick kilns, but now all of them are in use, and the number of bricks that can be fired each day is much greater than before.

Since everyone was working diligently, Meng Tong and Lu Chuan didn't disturb them too much. After circling around, they went directly to a house next door.

This house was originally built by the owner of a restaurant in town. I heard that it also had some connection with the brick kiln, so the house was built larger and more sturdier than those in other places.

Apart from Wu Biao and his group of more than 20 people who lived in the brick kiln, the remaining 800-plus people from Liming Island temporarily lived here.

He led Lu Chuan and Meng Tong directly to the backyard, where they saw the makeshift bed they had made the night before.

"Well, there aren't enough beds and blankets available right now, so they just have to make do with what they have. Sleeping on the floor is actually quite comfortable in this weather."

Wu Biao glanced furtively at Meng Tong's expression, scratched his head, and said with an awkward smile.

Mingyu, standing to the side, seemed lost in thought, his clear, handsome eyes unreadable.

The lady and Brother Chuan believed that since they had entrusted so many people to them, they would have to find a way to provide for their food and lodging.

But right now...

Seeing that the air was filled with an awkward atmosphere, Lu Chuan glanced at Meng Tong, then looked at Wu Biao and Ming Yu.

Thinking about their purpose today, Lu Chuan said, "We brought some quilts for the women and children to use first. My wife and I will provide you with cotton and fabric for the rest."

"real."

Wu Biao turned his gaze to Meng Tong, his mouth practically stretching to the back of his head in a wide grin.

What he was worried about was things to keep warm, like beds, tables, chairs, and benches. Most people have some skills, so they can make them when they have free time.

But cotton isn't so easy to find. It's already September, and the weather will start to cool down in another month or so.

Even the most vigorous man will eventually give up.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chuan and Meng Tong brought such a big surprise today. Mingyu's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his mature-beyond-his-years face.

"The cotton was planted in the mountains last year, but the quantity wasn't particularly large. Besides the town, several other villages also need it."

"Only after we've made the quilts can we use the leftovers to sew winter clothes. Also, if you have time, you can cultivate the wasteland around town. I'll bring you cotton seeds then, and if we're quick, we can get a crop before winter. Then we can make winter clothes."

Meng Tong explained his plan. The woman's eyes were indifferent and calm, but her words were so warm.

Wu Biao and Mingyu immediately felt relieved.

"We will definitely reclaim the surrounding wasteland as soon as possible."

"Well, there's no need to rush. Let's get the streets sorted out first."

"it is good."

Meng Tong had already placed the cotton and dozens of quilts in a dilapidated house in town and told Wu Biao and the others to go get them. The two of them then went to another village, Xiangshui, without stopping.

When they saw bag after bag of pure white cotton, Wu Biao and Mingyu were overjoyed, and didn't even bother to think about the absurdity of it all.

The two simply followed in Meng Tong and Lu Chuan's footsteps, like rice and wheat that mature in a month.

They weren't unaware of the differences, but so what?

Capable people are always different from others. Don't be too curious, just follow along.

In one day, Lu Chuan and Meng Tong visited all five remaining villages.

They not only sent cotton but also mattresses, along with plenty of grain.

Seeing that Sheng Xiu and the others were helping everyone settle down in an orderly manner, Meng Tong and Lu Chuan felt relieved.

The next step is to work hard together and live together.
