Divorce her scumbag husband, marry the war king, and the hot wife gets rich through her spatial abil
Chapter 9 Grandma's Family Home
Just as Xiao Heihei was lighting the third house, the village gong sounded, and everyone took basins and buckets to draw water from the well in the village, then carried it to the house with the fire.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Heihei sped up the arson. The villagers, carrying buckets, didn't know which house to save. Just as they were staring blankly at the fire, it spread to their own homes. The villagers scattered and ran back to their own houses.
In an instant, torches lit up the village roads, and people from every household poured out.
They would bring their own belongings with them whenever they came out.
Everything of value was brought out; they were even worse off than the old woman.
Because they have many houses, while the old lady's house has a large area but few houses, and not enough firewood in the woodshed.
Granny Wang also heard the commotion outside. She was feeling sad, but when she stood at the gate of the courtyard, she stopped crying and looked at the fire in the village. Instead, she felt a sense of satisfaction.
Xiao Yi stood at the gate of the courtyard with her arms crossed, watching as the entire village road was filled with the cries of the old and the young.
That was their home, their livelihood. With the fire, they had nowhere to live. If it weren't for the timely rescue, they wouldn't even have anything to eat.
Just moments ago they were watching Wang Po's family's misfortune unfold, but now that it's their turn, their gloating expressions are incredibly unpleasant.
Live it!
Xiao Nan's eyes remained fixed on the Zhang family. After Xiao Heihei set all the houses in the village on fire, he returned to the Zhang family's house.
They wouldn't let anything made of wood go, not even a single piece of firewood was left for them.
It only intensifies the fire when they pour water on it.
Even without this fire, summer nights are too hot to sleep; now that we have this fire, the heat is still noticeable from a distance.
No one could do anything about the fire, and everyone turned to look at Wang Po's house.
They had no way to express their grievances. If the fire had started at the end of the village, they could have framed and harmed the person. But surely the fire at Wang Po's house couldn't have spread to the beginning of the village.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Zhang family members stood on the village road, looking at Wang Po's family with venomous eyes.
At the same time, Xiao Nan's gaze pierced through the layers of people and landed on the Zhang family.
She knew that this whole thing started because of her, and that Granny Wang had been implicated because of her. She had originally planned to take Granny Wang away, but now she didn't want to leave anymore.
From now on, she will not only protect the old woman, but also repay the villagers' malice towards her family tenfold or a hundredfold.
She was not afraid to die; she was determined to fight them to the bitter end, but she knew that these people were afraid of dying.
Xiao Nan narrowed his eyes. Life isn't just about enjoying the good things; you also have to enjoy the evil.
As dawn broke, the fire was extinguished, and the entire Ping'an Village was filled with the smell of burning, and everything was dark and gloomy, except for Wang Po's house, which was in a slightly better condition.
While they were busy tidying up the house, Xiao Nan had already set up two sheds, and she and her grandmother were sleeping soundly inside.
Once the gate is locked, let them do whatever they want outside.
Repairing a house is a huge project, so she needs to rest well and eat well.
She only came out of the shack when the sun came out.
At this moment, Granny Wang stood with her hands on her hips, looking worriedly at the ruins where black goods were being sold.
Xiao Nan patted her shoulder and waist, and asked tentatively.
"Grandma, shall we move to town?"
Granny Wang shook her head hurriedly: "Although we are always bullied here, at least they have no intention of killing us. If we went to town, who knows what might happen? It's safer here."
Xiao Nan didn't ask any more questions. He understood that if he hadn't come to her house, there might not have been this fire.
Therefore, she had to take responsibility for building the house.
I was planning to slowly make mud bricks and repair the house, but now I need to build a new house, and I can't build a brick house yet, otherwise these scoundrels will be even more envious.
In her current condition, she could easily take on one or two opponents, but if they joined forces, she would be far from enough.
Strength, oh strength! She vowed to be the queen of this land, determined to be free from any threat.
She and her grandmother first hid the things they had bought, and after quickly eating breakfast, they discussed it with Granny Wang.
"Grandma, do you know where I can find people to build houses?"
"Aren't you planning to find someone in our village to build it?"
"Everyone's busy building houses, who has time to care about us? Besides, even if they had time, they wouldn't build for us."
"I think I have the money."
"Hmph, even if we pay them, they won't do a good job."
"How about I go back to my parents' home and ask someone from there to help?"
"You still have a family home?"
Wang Po was a little embarrassed. She sighed and said, "In previous years, I would go back to my parents' home to visit, but after my brother passed away, we haven't had much contact."
How much is the daily wage for building a house here?
"Five coins a day is enough. It's hard work, and we'll provide meals too."
"Okay, let's find five people. I have some more here, enough to pay their wages."
"I'll go right now, it'll be terrible if it starts raining."
"I'll go with you, and we can buy some grain in their village. We can't bring out our own flour and rice."
"Okay, just make sure they're full."
Before leaving, Xiao Nan quietly put the things he bought into his spatial storage, locked the courtyard gate, and left Ping'an Village.
Along the way, Granny Wang kept rambling on and on, telling her about her family.
Leaving Ping'an Village, heading west for more than ten miles, although the road was similar to the one to the town, this road was easier to travel, so they quickly arrived at Wangzhuang.
This village is similar to Ping'an Village, but it is named after a surname, indicating that most people in this village are surnamed Wang, although there are not as many people of the Ji clan as in Ping'an Village.
This is why Wang Po, despite having powerful backers, was bullied.
The village has only about ten households. Once inside, it's very quiet, and there are very few people chatting outside.
Therefore, no one knew about their arrival.
Granny Wang led her by the hand to a house. She took a deep breath and went up to knock on the door.
Soon, the woman's voice came.
"Who is it?"
The door opened, and a young woman appeared. She saw Wang Po and Xiao Nan and asked them a question.
"Who are you looking for?"
Granny Wang frowned. She was a great-aunt of the Wang family, yet she didn't recognize this woman.
So he asked, "Who are you?"
The woman blushed and said, "I am the newlywed daughter-in-law of this family."
"Go and call your mother-in-law, and tell her that the Wang family's aunt has arrived."
The woman was taken aback, then quickly opened the door and ran inside. A moment later, the Wang family members poured out.
They were all very excited to see Granny Wang.
The younger generation all knelt down: "Greetings, Aunt! Greetings, Great-Grandma!"
"Alright, get up, all of you."
Granny Wang was also a little excited. With her brother gone, she was now the elder of the Wang family.
The Wang family was about to lead Granny Wang into the house, but she stood still.
"It's too hot, so let's not go inside. You guys bring a stool, and we can talk here."
As soon as she spoke, the Wang family members quickly moved tables and poured water.
In the shade, Granny Wang sat down and pointed at Xiao Nan.
“She is my person, no different from my daughter. If we meet again in the future and something happens, please remember to look after her.”
"It's Grandma." They all gave Xiao Nan a deep look.
"I'm here today to find a few people from our village to build houses, mud-brick houses. Five coins a day, lunch provided, come in the morning and come back in the evening. See if anyone can do it?"
"Grandma, is it your family that's building a house?"
"Yes."
"Why give me money? My family can build it. You just need to provide meals."
"No, family is family, and money is money. You all need to live, and you can't work for free. There are five people, and I think our family can provide three. Let's find two more."
"No need, five people from our family can easily handle it."
"Besides the three of you, who else is there?"
"And then there's my wife. She's a real expert at farm work, not to mention building a mud-brick house. She can even help tidy up and cook when she has free time."
Granny Wang glanced at the two sturdy women and said softly, "Alright, it's settled then. You two go first thing tomorrow morning. Also, I'd like to buy some grain. There are only two of us at home, my daughter and I, and we don't have much grain prepared. Is there any grain for sale in the village?"
