"My goodness! Why are you cursing yourself?"
Grandma Li glared at him angrily: "Why did you come with us?"
Zhenfu chuckled mischievously, "What else can I do! Of course, I'll follow my mother and sister!"
After saying that, Zhen Fuyou took the baby from Zhen Wanwan's arms and said with a cheeky smile, "Mom! It's getting late, when shall we set off?"
My younger sister and mother chatted for so long in the house last night, and then she went out so mysteriously today.
If there's nothing being hidden from them, Zhenfu would never believe it, even if you beat her to death!
He was determined to follow the group and find out what was going on.
Seeing that Old Lady Li was about to unleash her fury again, Zhen Wanwan hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Mother, I think it would be better to let Second Brother come with us. That way, we can have someone to look after us on the road."
Grandma Li sighed, looked at Zhen Fuyou who was stubbornly insisting on following them, and turned her head away in acquiescence.
"Second brother, go inside and rent a horse-drawn carriage!"
This time, Zhenfu readily took the money and went in to get things done.
The place they were going to was near Dahe Village, where the government had arranged for them to stay.
The estate that Zhuyuan gave her was in the village next to Dahe Village, about a ten-minute drive from the other village.
A river separates them, and several trees are planted along the riverbank as a partition.
From a distance, the other side's fields looked much more fertile, with scattered houses built along the roadside.
In addition, there were more than a dozen workers digging the foundation, one of whom looked somewhat familiar.
Zhen Wanwan and her companions hurried along and stopped in front of a house, intending to first inquire about the situation.
Just then, a young man carrying a hoe went out to hoe the ground.
Before Zhenwan finished speaking, she stopped him and politely asked, "Hello, sir!"
The young man looked them over and, seeing that they were all unfamiliar faces, took two steps back warily.
What do you want?
“We came to Dahe Village to visit relatives and just happened to be passing by. We wanted to ask you for some information.”
After a moment's hesitation, Zhen Wanwan asked cautiously, "I heard from my uncle's daughter-in-law's cousin that there are still some extra fields in Dahe Village that we can rent to cultivate. I wonder if this is the area?"
The young man looked them up and down, then said incredulously, "How dare you even think about this piece of land?"
"This land belongs to a wealthy family in Anqing Prefecture. Why would they easily lease it to you? You've come to the wrong place. Dahe Village is right across the street!"
Zhen Wanwan was taken aback by the rebuttal. So, this land was the estate that Zhu Yuan had given her.
But why are people still breaking ground and building houses here?
Grandma Li approached Zhen Wanwan uneasily and asked doubtfully, "Wanwan, is this the right place?"
Zhen Wanwan nodded, then said uncertainly, "I guess so?"
Zhen Fuyou, who was following behind the group, listened to their conversation with a puzzled look on her face.
Why are his mother and sister staring blankly at someone else's estate?
"What are you talking about, little sisters?"
Zhen Wanwan was puzzled and had no time to answer Zhen Fuyou's question.
"Mom! Let's go see what's going on!"
Zhu Yuan had told her that the estate had just been acquired, and apart from the fields being cultivated, nothing else had been built in the estate.
So after receiving the deed, she came with the intention of building her own house.
Just then, they saw a group of people hammering and banging on the wasteland, with a lot of building materials around them.
Zhen Wanwan worried that these people might be trying to take advantage of Zhuyuan's absence to usurp his place.
If that were the case, she decided to remain still and wait until she returned to the county town before reporting to the authorities and having the person arrested.
She angrily carried her child and slowly headed towards the construction team.
The closer she got, the more familiar one of them seemed, even though they were only about ten meters away.
Zhen Wanwan called out uncertainly, "Lord Feng? Is that you?"
Feng He was talking to the construction foreman about the progress of the house construction when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Turning around, I saw Zhen Wanwan, whom I hadn't seen for two days.
Feng He patted the mud off his clothes and stepped forward, saying, "Madam Zhen! When did you arrive?"
"Just now!"
Seeing the familiar face, Zhen Wanwan awkwardly rubbed her hands together: "Lord Feng, weren't you here on official business in Guangling County? What are you doing here?"
That day, after Feng He escorted them to the gate of Guangling County, he took his men to carry out their business.
I never expected that when we met again, he would have become a foreman.
Feng He shrugged and pointed to the foundation behind him, saying, "I'm just doing my job here."
"By the way! Madam Zhen, these are the blueprints for the house. Do you see any areas that need improvement?"
Zhen Wanwan took the blueprints with some doubt. What came into view was a classically elegant and refined three-courtyard house.
In addition, a back garden was planned on the left side of the yard, and a vegetable planting area was planned on the right side.
It has both the solemnity of a grand mansion and the pastoral scenery of a rural courtyard.
That's wonderful!
Zhen Wanwan read it several times but couldn't find any fault with it.
"Who drew this? It's so beautiful!"
Seeing that Zhen Wanwan truly liked it, Feng He explained with a smile, "This was drawn by the master himself. I came to Guangling County this time to build houses for Madam Zhen and the two young masters and ladies."
Zhen Wanwan stared wide-eyed at Feng He with some surprise, not expecting Zhu Yuan to be so thoughtful!
They even thoughtfully arranged for Lord Feng to personally supervise the construction of the house.
She couldn't help but think of Zhu Yuan's cold face; she couldn't imagine that he was so thoughtful.
Feng He sighed and said regretfully, "Actually, the blueprints were completed two months ago, but they were delayed by some matters and have been shelved until now..."
Zhen Wanwan was silent for a moment, feeling touched. She realized that Zhu Yuan had been planning for her and the child so early on.
Just a few days ago, he said he wanted to marry her…
Zhen Wanwan didn't dare to think about it too much. Shaking off her little flutter of excitement, she said gratefully to Feng He, "Lord Feng, thank you for your trouble!"
Feng He waved his hand and said, "You're too kind, Madam Zhen."
He smiled sheepishly, rubbing his hands nervously. "A few days ago, I went home, and my father-in-law really liked the liquor you gave me..."
"My wife also said the wine was delicious, so she gave some to her friends. Unexpectedly, all her friends wrote to ask where my wife bought the wine..."
"Oh?" Zhen Wanwan's eyes flashed with a bright light; she hadn't expected this surprise!
She was initially worried about not being able to open up the liquor sales channels in Anqing Prefecture, but unexpectedly, Madam Feng helped her reach the high-end consumer group.
“I never expected that the wine I made in my spare time would be so popular with Madam Feng… I still have a lot at home. I’ll send some over to Lord Feng later so you can take it back to Madam Feng.”
Feng He hurriedly refused, "How could I possibly accept that?"
