Xiaoyue slipped into the crowd to the side, standing in an inconspicuous spot, and secretly watched them.

Second Sister-in-law Xiao Sun and Ge Erping pushed through the crowd, revealing Ge Erlin, who was shirtless and barefoot, with his pants up. Upon seeing his second brother like this, Ge Erping hurriedly asked, "Second Brother, what happened to you?" Ge Erping's shout successfully drew everyone's attention.

"The Ge family is really eccentric. The father steals from the orphan girl's house during the day, and the son sneaks into her house to steal her at night," someone in the crowd said.

Soon, curious onlookers inquired about the reason:

Someone in the know replied, "Isn't that right? I saw with my own eyes that Old Man Ge's attempt to steal backfired, and he ended up trapped in a pit."

A drunkard, his face flushed and his tongue slurring, mumbled, "I was there too. That old man is really heartless. There are so many people helping out in the backyard, and he still dared to steal at this time. He's got a pretty good plan, but man proposes, God disposes."

The man next to him nudged the drunkard: "Aren't you right? What divine calculation? It's clearly Xiaoyue's scheme."

"Yes, that's true."

Monkey Three gritted his teeth and kicked the woman who was hugging his leg hard, making her roll over. Then he started swinging the shovel at Ge Erlin again.

When Ge Erlin heard Ge Erping's voice, he was stunned for half a second. He couldn't dodge in time, and the hand he was holding up his pants was scratched by the tip of the shovel, causing blood to flow freely.

Seeing this, Xiao Sun knew exactly what had happened. She was furious and ran over to grab Ge Erlin's hair, scratching it wildly.

Ge Erlin held onto his pants tightly, not daring to let go, and cursed, "You spendthrift wife, I'm going to divorce you."

Little Sun grabbed Ge Erlin's hair, and the two of them tried to dodge while one pulled. This gave Monkey Three an opportunity, and he specifically targeted Ge Erlin's legs, hitting them again and again.

Upon hearing what the villagers said, Ge Erping blushed deeply and dared not watch the commotion any longer. He slunk back home.

Ge Erping knew about Old Man Ge's affair. It was she and Old Lady Ge who encouraged Old Man Ge to go and see where Xiaoyue got so much money to build a house. Their original intention was indeed to take something from Xiaoyue's house.

Monkey Three beat Ge Erlin until he was jumping up and down. Finally, he shook off his wife and slashed Ge Erlin's leg with the shovel. Ge Erlin lost his footing and knelt on the ground. Little Sun was anxious and lay on top of Ge Erlin, refusing to get up. Monkey Three had no way to get up.

Just then, the old village chief arrived. It was Old Man Xu. Old Man Xu knew that Xu Fanyuan couldn't solve this problem on his own, so he came over with Xu Fanyuan's help.

When Old Man Xu heard about this, he was so angry he almost couldn't get up. He was still walking around, trembling with rage. Niukou Village had never experienced anything like this before. The reputation of Niukou Village had been ruined by this adulterous couple.

Old Man Xu thought that it was not unreasonable for them to throw the two of them into the pond, but there was no pond to throw them into in this small place.

Old Man Xu pondered this, but the deed was already done, and within three days the whole town knew about it. He had to handle this matter properly.

When the village chief arrived, the villagers quickly parted to make way for him. Hou San ushered Old Man Xu into his house, and Xu Fanyuan and several other young men carried Ge Erlin into Hou San's house. Hou San's wife also slunk in after them.

Second Sister-in-law Xiao Sun saw that Monkey Three's wife didn't care about anything and grabbed her hair. Monkey Three's wife didn't notice that there was someone behind her.

I was terrified tonight. I don't know who grabbed me from behind, and I fell to the ground. My second sister-in-law, Xiao Sun, rode on top of Hou San's clothes and started tearing them off.

Monkey Three's wife was not expected to be Little Sun. Little Sun straddled Monkey Three's wife and tore at her clothes. Monkey Three's wife used the ground as leverage to flip Little Sun down and straddle her.

Thinking to herself, "If you don't want me to be good, then I won't want you to be good either," Monkey's wife also started tearing Little Sun's clothes.

The villagers instantly discovered a new world and watched the two women fight with great interest.

Looking at the two women fighting on the ground, Xiao Sun's clothes were torn, and Hou San's clothes were pulled off Xiao Sun's skirt.

Both of their hair were disheveled.

Xiaoyue only dared to watch from afar, and she had to be careful not to let Xiaosun discover her.

Finally, Li, the eldest sister-in-law, heard what the villagers said, ran over and separated the two fighting women, then held Xiao Sun in her arms and pulled her away.

Monkey's wife stood up, shameless and disheveled, her tattered clothes no longer covering her body, but none of the women in the village came out to help her.

She had incurred the wrath of the villagers in Niukou Village.

He limped and shuffled into the house.

Xiaoyue saw that everyone had gone inside and there was nothing more to see outside. With a weight lifted from her mind, she turned back to look at Liang Qi, who was still there, nodded to him, and then left on her own.

The next day, as the roosters crowed, Xiaoyue quickly got dressed and headed to Xiaoma Hutou. She stopped at the place she planned to clear the land, washed her face by the river, rinsed her mouth, and looked around at the stakes she had marked. She had quite a lot to do.

Liang Qi quickly ran over, and Xiao Yue followed him to the top of the mountain, then ran back to the cleared land she had chosen. She stretched her legs and did high knees. She then jumped from one tree to another like a monkey under several nearby trees.

Xiaoyue fell down many times, but fortunately, Liang Qi would push her with a thick stick each time she fell, so although it still hurt when she fell, she wouldn't break any bones.

After teaching Xiaoyue two moves of the staff technique, the sun had already risen on the horizon, and the red clouds were edged with gold. Xiaoyue chopped a bundle of firewood and carried it home.

I started cooking porridge, took out the cornmeal I had prepared yesterday, added the wild celery I picked this morning to make a few vegetable dumplings, and also made a cold wild celery dish.

Xiaoyue is not good at cooking, and in her previous life, she was often beaten by Grandma Ge for cooking.

After preparing the meal, Xiaoyue also brewed medicine for her third sister-in-law while the food was almost ready.

At this time, Uncle Gao, Gao Yu, and Brother Yang had all arrived.

When Xiaoyue saw Uncle Gao come in, she hurried to greet him, "Uncle Gao, are you starting to build the roof today?"

Uncle Gao smiled as he looked at Xiaoyue who was coming to greet him and said, "That's right, we'll finish building the house this morning and set up the kang (heated brick bed) and stove this afternoon."

Xiaoyue pondered for a moment, feeling troubled but having no choice but to speak up: "Uncle Gao, do you think this lid can be used?" Xiaoyue pointed to the shack where she lived.

“Yes, of course you can, it’s just a tiny lid,” Xiaoyue thought to herself.

“Okay, is four hundred coins enough?” Xiaoyue asked tentatively. “I can make up the difference if it’s not enough, but I don’t have any money right now.” Uncle Gao looked at Xiaoyue. “Tell me how to set the trap, and I won’t ask you for money.” Uncle Gao added.
