Mu Jin said exactly what was on her mind.

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded to herself in satisfaction after listening.

She truly deserves to be called the female protagonist with the most upright values ​​among all the books. She doesn't like to take advantage of others and speaks her mind. Becoming friends with her might be the right decision she made.

"It's like this, Su Lu and the Su family have fallen out. Although the house that the Su family is building now was paid for by Su Lu, we will not live there in the future. It is considered as Su Lu's way of showing filial piety to his parents. Therefore, we will have nowhere to live after the marriage."

We discussed it beforehand and decided that since there are only two of us, one room would be enough. Since the houses here are newly built, it would be a waste not to live here, so we decided to stay here instead of renting a house in the village.

My house is closer to the front yard and farther from the back door, while yours is the opposite. If Su Lu moves in later, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you.

So I wanted to discuss this with you, to see if we could switch places, divide the backyard in two, build a wall in the middle, and then open a door. You can keep the key; I don't need it. From now on, Su Lu and I will try to use the back door, and you can open it for Su Yun and the others when they come over. Is that alright with you?"

After listening, Mu Jin paused for a moment, thought about it, and decided it was feasible, so she nodded.

"It's possible, but don't you feel like you're losing out? The materials used in your house are much better than mine, and you even have an extra woodshed."

Qin Xiaoxiao's house was only built half a year ago and is also new. If she were to exchange it with her, she wouldn't lose out; on the contrary, Qin Xiaoxiao would lose out a little.

Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head, "It's not a loss. I don't have high requirements for where I live. As long as it's habitable, that's fine. Besides, your place isn't bad either. It's newly built. At worst, I can ask Su Lu and my brother to build another woodshed. It won't be a big deal."

Mu Jin thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, since you don't feel like you're losing out, I agree."

Seeing that she had successfully persuaded Mu Jin, Qin Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and invited her to dinner with a smile.

Mu Jin didn't stand on ceremony and ate at Qin Xiaoxiao's place that night.

Qin Xiaoxiao treated Mu Jin very generously, cooking braised pork, braised ribs, sauerkraut stewed with pork bones, scrambled eggs, and a plate of fried peanuts. She also brought out fruit wine brewed in the autumn, and the two drank until midnight before parting ways.

The next day, with the help of Su Lu, Qin Ye, and the Su sisters, Qin Xiaoxiao moved to a new house. Since neither of them had much stuff, the move was completed quickly. They also agreed that they could share the remaining firewood in the woodshed, and that the wild rabbits and pheasants that Qin Ye had hunted could be shared with Mu Jin.

On the third day, Qin Ye and Su Lu quickly built a wall between the two houses, opened a wooden door in the middle, and put the key in Mu Jin's hand.

Everything was ready. In three days, Zhou Ying and Huang Yuan's engagement banquet would be held. Qin Xiaoxiao was also on her guard, waiting for the two to set a trap.

Ever since Qin Xiaoxiao told Zhou Ying that she was there to prepare an engagement banquet for Huang Yuan and her, Zhou Ying has not had a single day of peace. She is in a state of anxiety every day because she has been lingering at the Qin family's gate for almost a month without being able to see Qin Ye, let alone make him fall in love with her.

With the date fast approaching and unable to see Qin Ye, Zhou Ying had no choice but to seek out Huang Yuan.

"You don't want to marry me either, do you?"

Huang Yuan leaned against a big tree and glanced at Zhou Ying disdainfully. "So what? Isn't it all your fault that things have turned out this way?"

Seeing that Huang Yuan remained unmoved, Zhou Ying became extremely anxious. "Don't you want to marry Qin Xiaoxiao anymore? If you don't act now, she'll marry Su Lu. Will you be willing to accept that? Don't forget, Qin Xiaoxiao has a lot of money. If you marry her, you'll be set for life and never have to work in the fields again."

Huang Yuan sneered, "So what if I'm unwilling? I can't beat her anyway."

What if he didn't want to scheme against Qin Xiaoxiao? But he had seen Qin Xiaoxiao's fighting prowess before. She single-handedly beat the entire Su family until they were crying for their parents. If he went up against her, he would only be a sitting duck.

Zhou Ying paced anxiously, "What should we do? The date is fast approaching, and if we don't come up with a solution soon, it will be too late."

Huang Yuan leaned against the big tree without saying a word, his mind filled with Qin Xiaoxiao's image.

Looking back on his time with Qin Xiaoxiao over the years, Huang Yuan regretted his actions once again and hated Miao Feifei even more.

But Miao Feifei is dead, and he can't find anyone to take revenge, so he can only feel frustrated.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Ying made up her mind, "How about this, I'll think of a way, but you have to cooperate with me and not hold me back."

Huang Yuan sneered and glanced at Zhou Ying with disdain. "Don't say I didn't warn you. Miao Feifei tried to scheme against Xiaoxiao before, but she failed. I'm sure you've heard about the consequences. Don't end up getting yourself caught up in the same trap."

Zhou Ying chuckled coldly, "That's because she's stupid and didn't choose the right person. This time, I will definitely succeed."

Seeing Zhou Ying's unwavering confidence, Huang Yuan decided not to offer any further advice. In any case, he was the one who would benefit, while she was the one who made the move. If anything went wrong, she wouldn't be held responsible, so he couldn't be bothered with her.

"Okay, you decide what to do. Just tell me when you've figured it out."

After saying that, Huang Yuan left without looking back, which made Zhou Ying stomp her feet in anger.

"This good-for-nothing, no wonder Qin Xiaoxiao doesn't like you."

Zhou Ying glared fiercely at Huang Yuan and then left the grove from another direction.

After the two left, a person walked past a large tree not far from them. The person glanced in the direction Huang Yuan had left, then looked in the direction Zhou Ying had left, and shook his head.

"A pair of idiots, beyond saving."

The person waited a while longer, and seeing that no one else came out, then leisurely walked back to the educated youth compound.

As soon as Zou Jing entered the courtyard, he saw Su Yu skipping and hopping out of the house, her face full of smiles.

When Su Yu saw Zou Jing enter, she was taken aback for a moment. "It's so late, is it only now that Zou Jing is back?"

Zou Jing smiled and nodded, "The weather was nice today, so I went to the county town to buy some things. After dinner, I watched a movie and just got back. Where are you going, Su Zhiqing?"

Su Yu smiled and approached Zou Jing. "Today, Su Lu and Qin Ye were building a wall in the backyard. Xiao Xiao treated us to dinner. After dinner, Qin Ye and my sister went out. I'm going to go and see what happened."

This was the first time Zou Jing had ever heard someone speak of voyeurism so openly.

Zou Jing looked at Su Yu with amusement.

You idiot, why are you going to cause trouble when people are dating? Aren't you afraid your sister will be embarrassed if she sees you?

What if the two of you couldn't resist kissing? Wouldn't you feel awkward?

"Don't go. If your sister finds out, she'll be embarrassed."

Su Yu tilted her head and looked at Zou Jing in confusion, "What's there to be embarrassed about? I'm her own sister, why can't I watch?"

Zou Jing choked, looking at Su Yu in shock.

Doesn't this woman have any sense of discretion? Doesn't she know what young men and women do when they're dating?

Are there still such innocent fools in this world?
