I traveled back to ancient times, but I was able to lie down and relax.

"You, you!" Old Master Liu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Liu Nanjia secretly chuckled. The men in the Liu family were really obsessed with saving face. If they were like Fang Shi, throwing a tantrum without any reason, she might not have been able to do anything about it.

But Liu Song and Old Man Liu usually just boss others around from behind the scenes and never get involved themselves. Dealing with people like that is easy.

She could drive them crazy just by arguing.

Fearing that his younger sister might really upset Old Master Liu, Liu Yanxi stopped beating around the bush and said, "Grandpa, even if we offer compensation, it probably won't work. The documents we signed weren't in duplicate, but in triplicate. There's another copy kept by the village head. It's already been formally approved, so it can't be easily canceled."

Actually, it was Song Chen who suggested this, saying it would be safer. After being reminded by him, Liu Nanjia also thought that the eldest branch of the Liu family might use this as an excuse to cause trouble again, and she also agreed.

He patted Song Chen on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, young man, you've thought of everything."

Her tone left everyone around her feeling helpless, even though she was clearly younger.

The image of a little girl patting someone a head taller than her and saying such things is truly indescribable.

Grandpa Liu was stunned when he heard this. Their family already had a bad reputation with the village head, and if this happened, it would only get worse.

Liu Yanxi added fuel to the fire: "If we really compensate the Zhao family properly, and they are willing, the village head probably won't interfere. But we have broken our promise, which will definitely leave the village head with the impression that we are untrustworthy. I... I still have to teach in the village, and I can't have such a reputation. Otherwise, Grandpa, why don't you go to the village head and the Zhao family yourself? If you can persuade them, we will be willing."

'You don't want that kind of reputation, but do you think I do?' Old Master Liu roared inwardly, but outwardly his face remained gloomy.

The group argued for a while, but Liu Yanxi insisted that he would not tell anyone, saying that if Grandpa wanted to go, he should go in person, and he would cooperate once Grandpa had taken care of it.

Grandpa Liu, who values ​​his reputation above all else, was unlikely to agree to go, and in the end, he had no choice but to leave in a huff.

Liu Nanjia couldn't stop laughing when she saw his expression as he left.

After laughing enough, she hurriedly went to make fried chicken. Having wasted so much time with him, she didn't know how well Song Chen had done.

Song Chen is currently in the kitchen with Liu Sirou.

As an outsider, it was indeed inappropriate for Liu Nanjia to get involved in the affairs between his siblings and the Liu family. Si Rou was too young, and Liu Nanjia didn't want her to witness so many arguments; she should stay with her grandfather.

Just as she saw Grandpa Liu, she asked Song Chen to take her into the kitchen, saying that she would help Song Chen.

Song Chen had been helping Liu Nanjia sell fried chicken for a while, and he had also assisted her. After watching so many times, he had indeed learned a lot.

After watching for a while, Liu Nanjia realized that even without him, he could still do a pretty good job.

He praised, "Not bad, Song Chen. Why don't you help me cook more often in the future? I've noticed you really learn everything quickly; you're much better at cooking than my brother."

After saying that, she quickly peeked out to see where Liu Yanxi was. She couldn't let him hear her, or he would get jealous again.

Liu Sirou nodded, "Brother Chen did a great job, I didn't even need to remind him."

When Liu Nanjia makes fried chicken, the little girl is always around him, and she's already memorized all the steps. So when Liu Nanjia said she should supervise, she really wasn't wrong.

Song Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliments. Have you settled things with Grandpa Liu?"

"Alright, alright, that old man is too proud to admit his mistakes. It's actually easier to deal with him," Liu Nanjia replied casually, washing her hands and starting to make fried chicken.

Song Chen hesitated, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't.

Liu Nanjia, who had already begun to focus on her work, did not notice.

After that, Liu Nanjia and the others finally had a few days of peace.

With the new kitchen, Song Chen was able to help more than before, and she could cook more each day, now making a profit of one or two taels of silver per day.

It's a pity that the chickens Aunt Wang raised at that time hadn't grown up yet, so she still had to buy chickens from town every day; otherwise, the cost could have been reduced a little.

She hadn't originally planned to spend a lot of money on the houses she built, but as construction progressed, the expenses kept increasing. The main expense was the bricks for the bathroom, which needed to be specially purchased, as well as bricks for the ovens in the kitchen and a few pots. The classrooms were also larger than the usual houses. In addition, the labor costs for hiring people brought the total to 15 taels of silver.

This is because the classrooms are made of adobe; if they were brick, it would be even more expensive.

Liu Nanjia thought about the income situation of the villagers and couldn't help but gasp. No wonder every household lived in mud houses. Brick houses were really not something that ordinary people could build.

When Liu Yanxi learned that so much money had been spent, he felt very distressed. However, after using the bathroom and the new toilet, he found them to be quite useful, leaving him with very mixed feelings.

On their day off, the family finally had time to go to town to relax. Liu Yanxi followed her sister's example and closed the school for the holiday, even though there were only four students at the moment.

Upon arriving in town, we first went to the clinic.

As usual, Dr. Bai took Liu Sirou's pulse. "I figured the medicine should be finished by now. It's good. The treatment is going well. You can reduce the amount of medicine you take from now on. After all, medicine has some side effects. It's better to focus on dietary supplements."

After saying that, he couldn't help but pinch Liu Sirou's fair and tender little face.

Over this period of time, the family and Dr. Bai had become quite familiar with each other, so such behavior was not considered impolite.

Moreover, since she became wealthy, Liu Nanjia has never been stingy with food. Her daily meals may not be complicated, but they always include meat, eggs, and carbohydrates, ensuring a balanced diet.

Liu Nanjia herself would drink some milk, and she wanted her brother and sister to drink it too, but the unprocessed milk had a fishy smell, which they couldn't get used to, so Liu Nanjia gave up on that idea.

So, the siblings have all changed quite a bit. They were already good-looking, and now their complexion is much better than before. They are no longer so thin, and with the addition of new clothes, they look like completely different people.

Especially Liu Sirou, who is so cute and pink, Liu Nanjia himself often can't help but pinch her little face and rub her little arms, making her giggle.

Afterwards, they also went to Fang the carpenter's place. A few days ago, Mu Tou had gone to the stall and asked them to come over when they had time.

Only today did we finally have the time.

When Fang the carpenter saw them arrive, he didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took out another money bag. "You've finally arrived. Here's your share of the profits from this period!"
