Actually, with so many people living together, no one would feel comfortable.

Ye Daquan also thought it was a good idea to separate the family.

But when they actually separated, he felt reluctant and sad, especially towards Grandma Ye and her husband:

"Father, Mother, whether you live with my little sister or not, we will always keep your room for you."

"If something happens to you in the future... cough cough, anyway, whenever you come back, your son will take care of you."

Then he looked at Ye Caiping and said, "Little sister, no matter what happens in the future, this is still your home. Your room will always be there."

Once the second wife's family is separated, there will be empty rooms in the house, and the younger sister won't have to make room for Yong'er anymore. She can keep the room forever, hehe!

Thinking about it, Ye Daquan looked at Erquan and Wei Shi with anticipation, hoping they would move out soon.

Ye Erquan finally realized what was happening and was so angry he almost cursed!

Good heavens! That despicable older brother actually came up with this trick.

He immediately looked at Ye Caiping: "When Second Brother's new house is finished, save a room for Little Sister too."

Although these two clever and cunning individuals were quite annoying, Ye Caiping felt a sweet warmth in her heart; it felt wonderful to be pampered.

When she first transmigrated, she felt only responsibility towards them, not affection.

She even disliked them, so she often glared at them.

She disliked those who would mistreat their wives and children for their sister's sake, and even though she was the one who benefited from it, she couldn't feel guilty about enjoying their favoritism.

This kind of favoritism will hurt their wives and children. It will put her in a difficult situation and cause many conflicts in the family.

She tried to change them, but failed.

Later, she came to understand that people's hearts are inherently biased, and this bias cannot be explained or changed.

Since they can't treat everyone equally, only she, as the beneficiary, can do the job of balancing things.

It seems to be working very well.

Whether it was the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, or the nephews and nieces, everyone got what they wanted and were all very happy.

In just over two months, she has completely integrated into this place.

Whether it's her daughter, parents, or brothers, they are all her loved ones.

Ye Erquan then said to Old Lady Ye, "Father and Mother, we'll also save a room for you."

Ms. Wei quickly chimed in, "Yes."

Grandma Ye and Grandma Ye were all smiles.

After the decision to split the family property was made, Madam Wei became somewhat excited again: "Little sister, when do you plan to start construction?"

"Don't we still need to choose an auspicious date? Let's choose a good date before building!"

"What kind of roof do you want? Adobe and thatched roof? That won't do. It has to be a tiled roof."

"I plan to build a large house with blue bricks and tiles."

The Ye family gasped. Old Mrs. Ye said, "Only the village head's house in our village has blue bricks."

Du said, "Our little sister can afford it. She wants a big brick house with tiled roof, so impressive! And it'll make Li Zhiyuan furious! Hehe!"

Ye Caiping chuckled and looked at Madam Wei: "What about Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law? Shouldn't they build a brick house too?"

Mrs. Wei shook her head: "Blue bricks are too expensive, every single one costs money. We can make adobe bricks ourselves, it doesn't cost any money."

Ye Caiping said, "I'm going to buy bricks tomorrow morning, would you like to come along?"

Ye Erquan said, "Okay, let's go together. After looking at the bricks, we can also look at the tiles!"

"Okay." Ye Caiping smiled and stood up. "I'm going to the village head's house. I need to talk to Bajin if I need anything."

Ye Erquan said, "Let's do it together, we're going to buy land."

Ye Erquan and his wife were all smiles, their faces full of anticipation.

Even Grandma Ye and her husband went out with them; their son wanted to buy land, and they had to keep an eye on things.

Ye Daquan and his wife also followed along; since his younger brother wanted to build a house, the eldest brother had to oversee it.

Then Ye Yong, Jin Hua, Yin Hua, Jin Er, and Huan Er all followed behind.

A large group of people arrived at the village head's house.

Ye Lizheng was so frightened that he dropped his pipe, thinking something terrible had happened.

Upon hearing that it was just about buying a piece of land to build a house, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at the group.

Ye Lizheng took out the village's layout map and spread it out:

"The good spot in the middle is 300 coins per fen, and the ones on either side are 200 coins per fen. See which one you like."

Ye Erquan and his wife frowned, sometimes liking this and sometimes thinking that was nice.

Ms. Wei said, "Is my little sister's place at the foot of the mountain?"

“Yes, it’s here.” Ye Licaiping pointed to the large area circled by the pen, which was as big as 5 acres.

“There’s only one small plot here, we want this one. It’s right next to my little sister’s,” Mrs. Wei said excitedly, pointing to a small plot of land that was right next to Ye Caiping.

Ye Erquan's eyes lit up: "Separating the family is a good thing! I can be close to my little sister again."

Ye Caiping's lips twitched.

Ye Lizheng nodded: "There is one here. But it's only two-tenths (132 square meters), isn't that too small?"

Grandma Ye said, "It's too small. We need to build on at least a quarter of an acre."

Ye Caiping also felt it was too small.

In modern times, a family of four can live in a space of about 120 square meters.

But this was in ancient times, and there were no convenient and easy-to-use home appliances.

First, the kitchen needs to be large, otherwise there won't be enough room to move around. Also, a small courtyard is usually a traditional courtyard house structure, with the middle left empty to dry things.

We also need to raise chickens, pigs, and other livestock, and have a small vegetable garden.

No matter what, it would still be four-tenths of an acre. The Ye family's old house plus the vegetable garden behind it would make four-tenths of an acre.

Old Man Ye said, "You have enough space now, but who knows how many children Peng'er will have when he gets married and has kids. If you're going to build, build a bigger one. At least a quarter of an acre of land."

"Here it is!" Ye Caiping pointed to the area diagonally opposite her house site.

There are already two households across the street, but behind them there is an empty plot of land, about five or six acres.

Ye Erquan was quite satisfied: "Alright, this is fine."

It's quite close to my younger sister here, at least closer than the old house.

"Let's go take a look." Ye Lizheng stood up.

The group arrived at the foot of the mountain. Ye Erquan and his wife were increasingly satisfied with the land, and Ye Yinhua was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"Dad, Mom, it will be much easier for us to go up the mountain to collect firewood from now on. Also, it's not far from the river, so it will be much more convenient to wash clothes here."

"Okay, this is it!" Ye Erquan excitedly made the final decision.

After measurement, this area is a full six-tenths of an acre.

Ye Lizheng said, "If you want to buy this piece, you have to buy the whole piece; otherwise, the remaining part won't be able to be sold."

Ye Erquan was somewhat conflicted.

Ye Caiping said, "Second brother, hurry up and buy it! It's just a few hundred more coins. The bigger the land, the better. You can build a small one now, and when you have more money, you can build a bigger one."

Upon hearing this, Ye Erquan agreed, "Okay."

When the group returned to the village head's house, Ye Erquan gave them one tael and two qian to buy the land.

Next, sign the contract and put your fingerprint on it.

Once Ye Lizheng gets the official stamp tomorrow, the land can be approved.

Ye Caiping then found Ye Bajin and told him that starting tomorrow, he and Erquan would only be responsible for matters in the town.

Ye Bajin readily agreed.
