"Why are you saying this for no reason?" Wang's eyes turned red. "Your brother Wangfu is so heartless. Chunxiao, eat your peanuts."
Chunxiao smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Brother Wangfu, sister-in-law."
"What's there to be sorry about? We are all contented that he is back. Come, it's a rare opportunity for you to come to our house. Come and have a good chat with me, your aunt."
Chunxiao sat among them, and the family asked a lot of questions about Pengdong's side.
"Chunxiao, you're out and about all year round, so keep an eye out for me and see if there's anything I can do. I lost an arm, so it's inconvenient for me to work in the fields, and I don't want to just stay at home like this."
"I've already told you that you're not needed at home right now, so why don't you just stay home?" Yan Musheng looked helpless. It was obvious that this topic was not brought up for the first time. "I know you want to go to Pengdong Village. It's so far away. Are you going alone or with your wife and son? It belongs to everyone in the village. How can we go there together as a family?"
Yan Wangfu's lips trembled, but he didn't say anything to refute.
Chunxiao didn't know what to say. "Brother Wangfu, don't worry. Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you. If there's anything good, I'll keep it for you. I've bought a farm in Fangzhou, and I could ask for your help, but it's too far. Forget it. When I find a new place in the future, I'll ask you for help."
"Are you serious?"
"Of course my words count." She looked at Wang and Zhao and the others, "As long as the aunts and sisters-in-law agree, it's fine."
"Oh, let's not talk about this today. We invited you here to chat, but why did you end up talking about business?" Several people asked about Yang Huaitian again. Everyone was very curious about this young man.
She stayed at Yan Musheng's house and had to stay for dinner before she went back.
At noon the next day, Wang Shiwen drove an ox cart to Yanjia Village to look for Chunxiao. "Boss, there's something I need your help with. It's about that child we talked about two days ago. I went to the township government to investigate and even went to the village over there. The child's parents are indeed gone, but he still has an uncle and an aunt. We asked the villagers, and they said that family isn't a good one. If we bring that child into the village, it will be troublesome if they come looking for him later."
"Since they are my uncle and aunt, why would they come to town to beg?"
"Boss, we can't blame them if they don't raise the child, but it's not certain if we take their child." He has seen this kind of thing many times.
It was obvious that such an uncle and aunt were greedy for money, so this was fine. "Here's what you do: take the money and go around the village tomorrow. Say you want to buy a child to help out. Don't ask too much, just give three taels of silver. Ordinary people will definitely not consider it, but that couple may not be so sure. Go and buy the child, and remember to have them sign the indenture."
Wang Shiwen made up his mind and left.
Chunxiao went to the construction site again. Many people in the village were helping out there. Shufeng and Xiaoxue were also helping to look at the materials.
"Didn't your mother tell you to stop coming here?" Chun Xiao looked at Shu Feng. "And now you're here again in the blink of an eye."
"Aunt, this is the house I will live in in the future. I will definitely see to it that it is built well."
Chun Xiao shook her head and smiled helplessly, "Shameless."
"What's there to be ashamed of? Now that things have come to this, do you still want me to pretend to be reserved and stay in the house every day to avoid suspicion?" She patted Xiaoxue, who was giggling beside her, "You're still laughing. I came here to accompany you."
"Auntie put a lot of thought into designing this house for you. I'm afraid it will cost Huaitian about a hundred taels of silver to build it. It's the largest house in the village."
This was built in the style of a modern small villa. It was a half-brick and half-wood structure. This time, a specialized house craftsman was hired from the county town. An ordinary bricklaying team would not be able to complete it.
"Your blueprint is so beautiful, but I don't know what it will look like when it's built. If it's exactly like this, I can't wait to move in right away. I look at it every day and I want it to become a house like the one in the blueprint."
"If your mother heard you say this, she would be so angry that she would die. You really have no shame to say such things."
"Aunt, when will you return to Pengdong?"
"We have to wait until your marriage is settled. Are you planning to stay home and get married, or do you want to go back to Pengdong together?"
"Of course I want to go with you. I still have the braised meat shop to look after. It's been so long since I came back. I wonder how things are going over there."
"What are your plans after you get married?"
"Of course, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Brother Huaitian will definitely go back to Pengdong, so I will definitely be there too."
"Yan Shufeng, you'd better be more reserved." Chunxiao had never seen anyone so careless with Shufeng. "I'm not telling you, but your mother will definitely beat you if she hears. I advise you to go back home quickly." Chunxiao looked at Yang Xue, who was laughing so hard that she was bent over, "Don't learn from her."
Everyone in the village is building houses now, and Chunxiao also wants to renovate her own yard. When she was short of money before, she did whatever was convenient. Now that she has money and time, she wants to take a good rest and build a small villa.
She told Zhou about her idea, but Zhou was very opposed to it. "You only live at home for a few days this year. This house is already very good. It would be too troublesome to tear it down and rebuild it. Even if you want to do it, it's not too late now. Wait until you don't have to worry about the north side anymore and you can stay home safely. It's not too late to do it."
Chunxiao thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so she did it.
