The yard of Zhang Hulan's home.
Zhang Hulan came back angrily, and everyone in the yard stopped what they were doing and looked at Zhang Hulan.
Zhang Xinyue ran forward, hugged Zhang Hulan's thighs and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Who made Mom angry?"
Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyi both walked forward and looked at Zhang Hulan with concern.
Zhang Xiaobing and Shanzi also came over. Zhang Xiaobing asked, "Aunt, what's wrong? Who offended you? I'll ask my dad and uncle to help you beat him up."
As soon as the children gathered around her, Zhang Hulan smiled. These children had not been raised in vain, and seeing that she was unhappy, they all came over to show concern for her.
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Xiang Chunhua also asked, "Sister, what's going on? Didn't the Hu family come to discuss marriage? How is the discussion going?"
Zhang Hulan was both angry and amused, "Don't mention it. The Hu family is not planning to marry Dahua. They are here for me."
Xiang Chunhua opened her mouth wide, "So Hu Sanlang wants to marry you, big sister? Isn't he only in his early twenties?"
Xiang Chunhua realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly said, "Sister, don't misunderstand me, I didn't say you are old..."
"I'm not young anymore." Zhang Hulan waved her hand and said, "I don't know what's wrong with the Hu family. They have nothing to do."
Zhang Xinyao was already ten years old and could already understand some of the things that adults said. She looked at Zhang Hulan and asked nervously, "Mom, are you getting married?"
张虎兰摸了下张欣瑶的头，说道：“娘不嫁，是有人想打娘的主意，那人被娘给揍了。”
Zhang Xinyao was happy in her heart that her mother would not abandon them.
But Zhang Xinyao felt sorry for her mother. She said, "Mom, if I meet the right one..."
"No one is suitable." Zhang Hulan didn't let Zhang Xinyao continue. "Xinyao, mother will not marry again. Mother just wants to raise you guys up and start your own family, and then take care of your grandparents until they die."
Zhang Xinyao nodded sensibly and said nothing more.
Zhang Hulan did not avoid the people working in the yard, she just wanted them to hear her so that she could spread her words that she had no intention of remarrying, so that no one would come again in the future.
Wang heard what Zhang Hulan said at the gate of the courtyard and sighed in her heart, thinking that the Chen family must have hurt their daughter too deeply, making her not want to get married again.
If she doesn’t want to get married, then don’t get married. Wang no longer thinks like she did a few months ago that women must get married.
Now that her daughter is so capable, she doesn’t want to let other people take advantage of her.
Wang walked into the yard and said to the women working in the yard, "Everyone, please help spread Hu Lan's intentions so that some people outside can stop worrying about it. My Hu Lan will have no trouble finding a husband, she just doesn't want to get married."
Zhou said hurriedly: "With Hu Lan's conditions, what kind of husband can't she find? Ordinary people are not worthy of Hu Lan. Not everyone can dream of her."
"That's right, that's right..." The others quickly agreed.
Although Zhang Hulan didn't take the Hu family seriously, she was still disgusted. She said something to Wang and then prepared to go out for some fresh air.
"Mom, where are you going? I want to go too." Zhang Xinyue asked while hugging Zhang Hulan's legs.
Zhang Hulan picked up Zhang Xinyue and said with a smile, "Mom is going to the construction site, do you want to go?"
Zhang Xinyue nodded, "Yes, we'll go together."
"Okay, let's go together."
Seeing Zhang Xinyue going out to play with her mother, Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyi followed them out.
Seeing that Zhang Xinyao and the others had all left, Zhang Xiaobing followed them. He also pulled Shanzi along, "Brother Shanzi, let's go and play together."
Shanzi said, "You guys go ahead, I'll help with the work at home."
Zhang Hulan said, "Shanzi, let's go out together."
Now every morning Luo Changqi and Yuan Gang will teach Zhang Xiaojun, Zhang Xiaobing and Shanzi basic skills.
Except for the time of practicing, Shanzi helps with housework at home every day. There is no fun for children at all, which is not acceptable.
After Zhang Hulan spoke, Shanzi followed her out of the village.
Arriving at the construction site, Zhang Xinyue pointed at the entire area and asked, "Mom, are all these plots ours?"
"Yes, everything here was bought by mother."
Zhang Xinyue clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Wow, Mom is so awesome!"
Zhang Hulan pointed to the house where the foundation was still being laid and said, "See? That will be our new home. Mother is going to build a big house."
Zhang Xiaobing said, "Aunt, please leave a room for me. I will live with you guys from now on."
Zhang Xinyue looked down at Zhang Xiaobing and said, "Don't you have a house? Why do you want to live in my house?"
Zhang Xinyi smiled and said, "Why else? Of course, our family has good food, and my cousin wants to eat delicious food at my house."
Zhang Xiaobing was exposed, but he was not embarrassed at all. "Aunt, I will eat and live at your house. I can ask my father to pay for my living expenses, okay?"
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "How about this, you can stay at my house and eat and sleep there, and then let your father work for me. I won't pay him wages, and I won't ask for your living expenses, is that okay?"
Zhang Xiaobing thought about it seriously, then nodded, "I don't mind, but I'm afraid my father won't agree."
Zhang Xinyao covered her mouth and laughed, "If my uncle knew that you sold him out, he would be so angry that he would die."
Zhang Xiaobing said, "I didn't sell him out."
"You let my uncle work for my mother for free just to have food and shelter at my house. Aren't you selling my uncle to my mother?"
Zhang Xinyue covered her mouth and smiled, "I'll go to my uncle and complain, saying that you sold him to my mother just to eat delicious food."
Zhang Xiaobing said disdainfully: "Go ahead and sue me. I'm not afraid of him anyway."
A few children started quarreling, so Zhang Hulan put Zhang Xinyue down and let them play by themselves.
Then she went to the farmhand's house and saw that everything was ready. The walls were whitewashed with lime, and the house looked very bright.
Luo Changqi came over and said, "Niece, we plan to move here in the next few days."
Zhang Hulan said, "That's fine. I'll find someone to cook for you uncles."
Luo Changqi said: "Don't bother, we can cook it ourselves."
Zhang Hulan said, "Uncle Luo, this is not the rice you cooked before. Do you think your rice is delicious?"
Luo Changqi said: "It doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not, as long as it can be cooked and fill my stomach."
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Uncle Luo, now that you are helping me, I will definitely arrange for food and accommodation. Just listen to me, I will find someone to cook for you."
Luo Changqi did not refuse again. It would be great if someone could cook for them. He just didn't want to cause too much trouble for Zhang Hulan.
It is easy to find cooks. If you only pay them four or five hundred coins a month, there will be plenty of women rushing to do the job.
