Before the captain could say anything, the men who had come to deliver firewood couldn't stand still anymore. What a good thing!

"Young lady, is it really true that you get a pound of flour for a day's work? We actually believed you!"

Tang Yue smiled and nodded, "Really, I keep my word." Then she pointed to the military vehicle next to her, "They're all inside. As long as you come over and help out for a day, you'll get a pound of flour."

Tang Jianye thought Tang Yue's decision was extravagant, but since the little girl had said it, he naturally wouldn't object. The captain thought it was feasible, "Young comrade, if you really decide to do this, then I'll go back and get reinforcements?"

"Yes, Captain, please go and call them. Also, please collect the mud bricks for me. And Captain, may we build three houses here?"

"Huh? Young comrade, this ground is impossible to dig."

“We’ll dig this land ourselves. Just tell us if it’s safe to build here.” The brigade leader pondered for a moment. “It’s possible to build, but won’t Lai Zhiqing return to the city? If she leaves, this house won’t belong to her anymore.”

Tang Yue agreed, "That's natural. We all understand that."

The men who had followed were already urging the captain to hurry back and collect the mud bricks and call for reinforcements. "You guys wait a bit, I'll hurry back and call for reinforcements, the days are very short."

After everyone left, Lai Xiang hurriedly went back to the wooden house to rummage through her belongings and took out some money. "Little Yueyue, I don't have many food coupons left. I'll give you the money first, and later..."

Tang Yue's face fell. "Sister Lai, what are you saying? Do I need to be so polite with you?"

Lai Xiang was very stubborn. Tang Yue sighed, "Sister Lai, I've never been this polite to you when you bought TVs or sewing machines for my family before."

Lai Xiang didn't know what to do with her hands. Tang Yue took Lai Xiang's hands, which were already covered in chilblains, and asked, "Sister Lai, have you visited Uncle Lai and Aunt Lai yet?"

At the mention of this, Lai Xiang's tears welled up again, "Yesterday, last night, the time has passed, they, sob sob, it's so bad."

Tang Yue knew that Lai Xiang had arrived more than half a month later than her parents. Tang Yue patted her on the back and said, "Sister Lai, don't cry. Let's find out the situation first before we know how to help them."

Lai Xiang wiped away her tears. "My parents are both sick. When I went over last night, they could barely get out of bed. Luckily, I brought medicine with me, and I gave it to them."

Their bedding was very thin, and they all caught a cold. I came back again and brought them all the bedding.

Tang Yue had said that Lai Xiang couldn't possibly be completely unprepared; it turned out her parents' situation was just too difficult. "Is anyone bullying them?"
