Many days have passed since the earthquake.

The city wall is still so dilapidated now, so the county town must be in no better shape.

When they arrive, will they have a place to stay?

Also, I'm afraid this year's hard labor will last a long time.

The road and city wall repairs will probably take at least two or three months!

Thinking about all this, Chi Yu felt a heavy weight in his heart.

Once forced labor begins, every household in Chijia'ao will likely have to send someone.

Even Wang Qiaoya's maternal family, her younger brother is already thirteen, and they might have to go there too.

Because of these things on her mind, and having just seen the unlucky Qi Mingyu, Chi Yu was feeling a bit down.

As darkness fell, after Chi Yu and his party of about ten carriages entered the city, the city gates were closed by the soldiers guarding the city.

Upon hearing the door close, Chi Dahu and Chi Kang, who were sitting on the carriage shaft, subconsciously looked up at the sky and then at the city gate.

Then the uncle and nephew remained silent, like two sisters caught in a pond.

Perhaps the county magistrate lived in the county town, or perhaps the people of the county town had been prepared all along.

Therefore, even though both were after the earthquake, the situation in the county town seemed much better than that outside the town.

Many ruined houses have been restored.

Some built wooden houses, while others simply erected tarpaulin sheds on the original sites.

Of course, even mud-brick houses existed.

The biggest difference between these houses and the original ones is that every household no longer has a courtyard wall!

Regardless, seeing this scene brought Chi Yu a great deal of comfort.

When Shen Kai carried them to Qingping Lane in the west of the city, the progress of the reconstruction of the houses here was much better than in the places they had passed before.

When they reached the end of the alley, Chi Yu looked at the houses on this side, which were almost finished, and turned to look at Chen Kai.

"Kai, did Amu's house not collapse much?"

"No! They all collapsed. But Brother Mu was prepared; as soon as one side collapsed, he sent people over to rebuild it."

Of course, before I left, Brother Mu said that the foundation would also be re-fixed.

With wooden houses on both sides, and since beams and pillars can be used, construction can be completed relatively quickly as long as there are enough people.

By the way, sister-in-law, Brother Mu bought all five houses in this area.

His idea was to combine his old house with the house you used to live in, making them one household.

Then the remaining three houses will be for your three older brothers to live in.

In this way, no matter what the people of Chijia'ao do in the city, they will always have a place to stay.

Everyone in the county is busy building houses, so Brother Mu built one for himself first.

The remaining three companies may have to wait!

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu's eyes widened immediately.

What? Qin Mu bought five houses in a row, and that was before the earthquake?

Even if a house was cheap before the earthquake, it would definitely be more expensive than after the earthquake, right?

He bought it, left it there, and it got destroyed. What was the point?

Too much money to burn?

Also, why didn't he discuss the house in the county town with her three older brothers beforehand?

Not to mention Chi Yu, even Chi Qiao and the others were shocked after hearing Shen Kai's words.

Just then, the door was opened.

Qin Mu appeared at the door, carrying a lantern and dressed in black.

Upon seeing the fish in the carriage, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Little Fish, what made you decide to come down the mountain?"
