Because she was quick and efficient, and also to see the effect, she put three pieces in her basket and bosom.

The height of these stones piled up is only thirty or forty centimeters.

Since there weren't many ingredients, it was finished in no time.

Shen Kai arranged all of this himself. After he straightened up, he said, "I will stay here for the next two nights."

This also provides a good opportunity to observe the changes and effects of the cement up close.

Chi Yu and the others naturally had no objections, so after Shen Kai finished speaking, they all left the room.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In fact, it doesn't even take two days. With the good weather, these things are completely dry by the evening of the next day.

Shen Kai first tested the floor. He reached out, clenched his fist, and tapped it hard. Seeing that it didn't break, he went to check the stones that had been glued together.

This time he called for Chi Dahu, and the two of them grabbed one end and tried to separate them.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't separate the three stones.

After Chi Dahu let go, Chen Kai picked up the stone again and threw it into the courtyard.

He smiled with satisfaction after the stone had rolled around in the yard a few times and stopped without separating.

The cement my sister-in-law made is really good stuff.

With such good adhesion, when it's used on the city walls, it will be another great achievement for Brother Mu.

We can tell Lord Fang about this for now.

Ultimately, the credit should go to the Chi family.

But since Chi Yu was the inventor and Mu Ge was her husband, she was bound to benefit from it.

Thinking about all this, Shen Kai seemed to see his brother Mu's official position rising again.

With cement now, his brother Mu's official career will definitely be smoother!

While Chi Yu was preparing to go down the mountain, Qi Mingyu returned to the village once again.

This time, he didn't go back to his still-ruined home, but went directly to the old clan chief Qi's shack.

Yes, the weather cleared up at the foot of the mountain earlier than it did at Chijia'ao.

Taking advantage of the good weather, and because of the spring plowing season, Elder Qi did not spend much time on building houses. Instead, he quickly erected a shack and began clearing the land.

When Qi Mingyu returned, the old clan chief Qi was not in the fields due to his advanced age.

Upon seeing the person, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, his tone tinged with helplessness: "You're back?"

Qi Mingyu also knew that he had troubled the old clan chief a lot ever since Chi Yu and his divorce.

Thinking about what he had to do next, he could only shamelessly say, "Yes, I'm back!"

I'm sorry to trouble you, clan chief, with my parents' matter.

I came back this time because I had already discussed the timing of the marriage proposal with the Xue family.

This marriage will require your assistance, clan leader, to make a trip there.

Also, I still owe the villagers fifty taels of silver, so I'm bringing that money back to them.

Thinking that he would still have to rely on the clan to deal with Zhuang Zilan, Qi Mingyu didn't feel bad. Instead, he took out a fifty-tael silver note from his sleeve and handed it over.

Upon seeing the silver, Elder Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but a sense of unease lingered in his heart.

Qi Mingyu has a talent for studying and is also good-looking.

However, since his divorce from Chi Yu, his actions have been unacceptable to many.

Having received the silver, and seeing that the person before him showed no sign of leaving, Elder Qi sighed inwardly and asked:

"When is the marriage proposal? Can I ask the matchmaker to come with me then?"

Also, your parents' condition is not good. They have incurred a lot of debt from medical treatment and medication during this period.

Your shack is not far from here. Shouldn't you go back and check on them?

Also, spring plowing is coming soon. Have you thought about how to do it on your land?

"Given your parents' current health condition, they are unable to farm."
