Does this mean I really need to start over?

One of the villagers couldn't help but ask, "Bao'er's mother, what are you doing collecting so much firewood?"

With the mountains behind us, we have no shortage of firewood.

When you run out of firewood, you can just go up the mountain and pick some up. Why carry bundles of it home like this?

"Does this mean we've struck it rich and will be eating stewed meat every day from now on?"

The word "get rich" has a magical power; all the villagers wandering around the village looked over when they heard it.

Gu An'an smiled and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "No, it's just that the children are afraid of the cold, so we're burning more firewood to keep them warm."

The villagers didn't quite believe it, and Gu An'an was too lazy to explain.

After carrying the firewood back with the children, Gu An'an thought for a moment, "We still need to get some bricks and lime."

Limestone isn't a problem. Gu An'an saw some limestone on the mountain these past two days, and she can just burn some later.

However, the bricks... that's a big problem.

There's only one main house in this courtyard, so there's no way to demolish the house and get the bricks out.

"Boss, do you have any ideas?"

Jiang Mingyi was stunned for a moment before speaking, "Have you forgotten that Gu's second uncle made some money last year by partnering with someone to make bricks?"

Gu's eldest uncle? Gu An'an was momentarily confused. "Oh, I forgot. I fell into the river and got water in my head, so I can't remember."

Jiang Mingyi: "..." He felt that the woman seemed to be hinting at something, but at the same time, she didn't seem to have said anything.

Just as Jiang Mingyi was struggling with his decision, he suddenly heard Gu An'an say, "Then I'll go to my parents' home tomorrow after I come back from the county."

These words made Jiang Mingzhu, who had just entered the room, tremble. Although her second aunt wanted to sell her to the magistrate in the county as a maid.

But it was my aunt who first had this idea!
