Moving into the cowshed might help her uncover the truth, but the thought that the dozen or so members of the Gu family weren't of one mind gave Su Ying a huge headache, and she didn't want to get involved in this mess.

With more than a dozen people, it's quite a large family. She should build her own place to live, which would be more convenient for her.

Sun Xuelin just mentioned that houses in the countryside are in high demand, so there are definitely no extra houses for her to live in. She'll just build one herself. After all, she'll be living in Liushu Village for a long time, and she can't just stay cooped up in the educated youth settlement forever. She's not willing to do that.

She couldn't stand staying there for even a few days, let alone staying indefinitely; she simply didn't have the willpower for that.

“I’ll just ask about the cowshed. If there isn’t one, then forget it. I want to ask how much it would cost to build a house in Liushu Village. I’ll pay for it myself to build a big brick house.”

"Building your own room is possible. How big do you need it for?"

"A spacious one, with a kitchen, toilet, living room, master bedroom, and side room, that's about all I need."

The newly built brick house will be her wedding room; it needs to be big, otherwise it won't be big enough for her to live in.

Since we're already building it, we might as well build a bigger one. Otherwise, it will be a hassle to build another one later if it's not big enough.

"I've never heard of these demands before. Do you want the outhouse to be in the same place? That would be so filthy!"

"It's not dirty at all. I prefer a toilet that's a little closer to me. I'm too scared to go to the outhouse at night with a flashlight; it's too far. Besides, it's my own toilet, so as long as I clean it regularly, it won't get dirty."

Fortunately, I bought a lot of things I need for the new house on the black market in Shanghai. I'll figure out a way to go out again when I'm building the house and find an opportunity to use them.

She was a good citizen who acted bravely and righteously, and was awarded a certificate and a bonus. She voluntarily handed over her family's property to the state, and used the little property she had left to build a large brick house. No one should say anything, and no one can trace her back to this.

Even if they investigate, she has a way of making sure no one can find any fault with her...
