A transmigrated woman ruined my whole family; I was reborn, seized a spatial ability, and had a full

Su Li pondered for a moment and said:

"Buying a house in Fucheng this time is just the first step. I think we can bring my sister-in-law's family into it as well, and plan together. My sister-in-law's family has some connections in business, so we can develop in Fucheng, establish a foothold, and make full preparations for future wars."

Su Xiangyang nodded in agreement, "Li'er's thinking is thorough. Your sister-in-law's family is reliable. If everyone works together, we will definitely find a stable path for our family."

After reaching an agreement, they headed towards the prefectural city.

While traversing the mountains and forests, Su Xiangyang thought of collecting some medicinal herbs, both for future use and to exchange for some money.

Just as he bent down to look for herbs, the rustling in the bushes made him stop.

He looked up and saw an old beggar sitting in the grass under the tree. The old beggar was staring straight at him with sharp eyes that revealed an indescribable strangeness.

Out of kindness, Su Xiangyang stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa, are you feeling unwell?"

The old beggar didn't speak, but just gave him a cold glance.

Seeing this, Su Xiangyang decided to continue collecting herbs in the original direction.

Just as he took a step, the old beggar suddenly stood up, slammed his cane heavily on the ground, and said sternly:

"If you want to die, then walk forward!"

Su Xiangyang was startled. He looked through the bushes the old beggar had parted with his stick and discovered that there was a sinkhole several dozen feet deep. If he had stepped into it without thinking, he would have been crushed to pieces.

Su Xiangyang felt a wave of fear wash over him and quickly thanked the old beggar.

The old beggar coughed twice, said nothing, and turned his head to the side, seemingly continuing to doze off.

At this moment, Su Xiangyang noticed that the old beggar was pale and seemed to be injured. So he and Su Li decided to carry the old beggar to the city for treatment.

But the old beggar resisted fiercely, struggling and muttering, "Who asked you to meddle? I'm fine!"

But seeing the old beggar's pale face and the faintly bleeding wounds, how could Su Xiangyang and Su Li really ignore it?

The two men, one on each side, disregarded the old beggar's objections and forcefully carried him into the city, where they settled him in a clinic for treatment.

After settling the old beggar in, Su Li and Su Xiangyang began searching for a suitable house.

They were first targeted by a matchmaker who was overly enthusiastic and led them to a house that looked fairly spacious.

The matchmaker enthusiastically introduced the house: "Gentlemen, this house is the best in the area. It has a great location, a large house, and is extremely comfortable to live in. The price is also fair, only two hundred taels of silver."

Su Li and Su Xiangyang were moved by what they heard.

However, upon closer inspection, they discovered that the beams and pillars of the house had been infested with insects, and there were several obvious signs of leaks in the roof.

Su Xiangyang frowned and questioned, but the matchmaker continued to argue eloquently. Helpless, the two had no choice but to give up on this place.

After that, they found another inexpensive courtyard.

Although the location is a bit out of the way, it's cheap.

Su Li walked into the yard with great joy, but found that there was a strange smell in the yard. Upon closer inspection, she found that there was a sewage ditch right next to the back of the yard. In the summer, not only did mosquitoes breed, but the stench was also unbearable.

Moreover, the courtyard's walls were low, posing a security risk, so they had to leave disappointed once again.

They continued to travel around the city, looking at house after house.

Some houses are located in remote areas, making travel extremely inconvenient.

Some houses have been in disrepair for years and are almost dangerous buildings.

Other houses have complicated neighborly relations and constant disputes...

After searching around and around, exhausted and hungry, the two returned to the clinic. Seeing Su Li and Su Xiangyang's listless appearance, the old beggar suddenly spoke:

“Go to the west of the city and take a look. There’s an old house there, the seventh one in Qingfeng Alley. It’s a nice place, in a good location, quiet and spacious.”

Su Li and her brother exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt and surprise. They wanted to ask the old beggar if he knew anything, but the old beggar acted quickly, immediately closing his eyes and turning his head away, as if he didn't want to say another word.

The next day, with a try-it-out mentality, Su Li and Su Xiangyang went to Qingfeng Alley in the west of the city.

Following the old beggar's directions, they found the old house of the seventh family.

Pushing open the dilapidated door, a desolate scene came into view. The yard was overgrown with weeds, and the roof of the house behind it had several holes, with sunlight filtering through the cracks onto the dusty ground.

After a closer look, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the house had a very regular layout, the rooms were spacious and bright, and the wooden beams and pillars were sturdy and durable, without any signs of insect infestation.

Moreover, the yard is quite large, and with a little renovation, it can be used to grow flowers, plants, fruits, and vegetables.

What appealed to them even more was that the landlord's price was exceptionally low, almost within their budget.

Without much hesitation, the two decided to buy the house on the spot.

After buying the house, Su Li felt more and more that the old beggar was not simple. He must know a lot of things, but just didn't want to say them.

Now that the house has been bought, the old beggar is still at the clinic, suffering from various injuries and extremely weak, and needs to recuperate for a period of time.

Su Li and Su Xiangyang couldn't stay in the city for too long, so they decided to take the old beggar back to their home.

After all, the old beggar had saved Su Xiangyang's life, and they absolutely could not abandon him.

When Su Li and Su Xiangyang brought up this idea to the old beggar, the old beggar looked at them with a half-smile and said, "You look like ordinary people. If you take me back, will your family agree?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Li firmly said, "Regardless of whether my family agrees or not, you are my brother's savior, and we certainly cannot abandon you."

The old beggar curled his lip: "Why don't you just give me some silver?"

Su Li patiently explained, "You're so weak right now. If we give you money, how will you get medicine from the clinic? Don't worry about that. Come home with us and focus on recovering."

Actually, the old beggar was all bark and no bite. He deliberately provoked Su Li like this because he didn't want to drag them down.

But Su Li and Su Xiangyang were adamant. After packing their things, they took the old beggar on their way home.

When Su Li and Su Xiangyang brought the old beggar back to the Su family, they had expected it to cause a stir, but they did not expect the argument to come so quickly and fiercely.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Old Mrs. Su's loud voice rang out: "What's wrong with you two? Bringing back an old beggar of unknown origin, what kind of behavior is this!"

She stood with her hands on her hips, her face filled with dissatisfaction and anger.

Old Master Su sat to the side, not uttering a word, but his face was terribly gloomy. His brows were tightly furrowed into a "川" shape, and his eyes revealed deep worry and displeasure, clearly indicating that he was also strongly opposed to this matter.

Su Li hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Grandpa, Grandma, this old man saved my brother's life. If it weren't for him, my brother would have fallen into a sinkhole more than ten feet deep in the mountains and would have been smashed to pieces. Haven't you always taught us not to be ungrateful?"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Su was not appeased; instead, she cursed even more harshly: "Saving a life is one thing, but does that mean we have to keep him at home? Who knows if he has any bad intentions? Maybe he's here to bring trouble to our family!"

Grandma Su's words were like sharp knives, piercing the old beggar and also making Su Li feel a pang of sadness.

Su Xiangyang also spoke up for Su Li, saying, "Grandma, the old man is really a good person. We can't just ignore him."

But Grandma Su wouldn't listen at all and continued to nag relentlessly.

Seeing this, Su Li secretly plotted in her heart. She had long wanted to maintain a certain degree of separation from the Su family in terms of daily life, so that it would be easier for her family to carry out some things. Now was the perfect opportunity.

So she pretended to be helpless and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, how about this, we build him a small house behind the house, and he can enter and exit through the side door. That way he won't run into the family and won't cause trouble for everyone."

After listening, Old Master Su remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, which was considered as tacit approval of the suggestion.

Although Grandma Su was still muttering to herself, she didn't strongly object anymore.

And so, the family got busy, found an open space behind the house, and built a simple house.

Looking at her busy family, Su Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that this small house was not only a place for the old beggar to stay, but also the beginning of her gradually drawing a line between herself and the rest of the Su family.

She had long planned to build some houses in the village.

Firstly, it solves the problem of not having enough space at home, and secondly, it provides more space and freedom to do what one wants and prepare for the unknown changes to come.
