There was a commotion outside the courtyard, and Old Mrs. Liu began to worry: "This... don't hurt someone."
As she packed her things, Mrs. Sun said, "Don't worry about it, Er Ya knows what she's doing, she'll be fine."
Besides, that family needs someone like Er Ya to treat them.
After a while, the shouting outside the courtyard stopped, and Song Ning and Xu Feng returned to the courtyard carrying sticks.
Xu Feng seemed unsatisfied: "If they come again next time, just call me, and I'll help you get revenge."
"But... was that really your grandma, that incredibly ugly old woman?"
Song Ning plopped down on the floor: "It used to be, but it's not anymore."
"It's a good thing you don't look like her."
A person's face reflects their heart. Even if Li Guixiang were born with a face of unparalleled beauty, her wicked thoughts would be a waste.
After everything was packed up, Song Dahai and his wife, Song Xiu'e and her husband, and Song Ning and Song Rui sat together.
Xu Feng was incredibly curious; in Song Ning's words, he loved listening to gossip.
As a result, Song Ning glared back at him with just one look.
Song Ning's attitude has always been clear: she will not interfere with the Song family.
The fact that Song Dahai and Song Xiu'e didn't go out just now can be seen as a way of showing their stance.
Everyone turned their attention to Song Rui.
"I don't care about others, but... I can't ignore my mother."
He saw it when he went out just now; his mother's face was ruined, and she was bullied by his grandmother to the point that she couldn't even speak properly.
He had heard everything from Er Ya beforehand, and he wouldn't defend his mother, but as her son, he couldn't stand idly by.
Song Ning was not surprised by Song Rui's decision.
Before, there were Song Erhai and Song Sanya, but now Zhang Shi is destitute and her face is ruined. If Song Rui doesn't take care of her, she will really have no way to survive.
“Er Ya, Uncle, Aunt, Aunt, I know my mother did a lot of dirty things in the past, but she is all alone now, and I can’t just abandon her. Don’t worry, I will move out in the next couple of days.”
Song Ning did not object; this was something that had been agreed upon beforehand.
In the afternoon, Song Ning went to check on her crops. All that watering had paid off; the crops were growing very well, looking better than those in other people's fields.
Song Ning handed Xu Feng over to Boss Liu: "He's all yours now. Let him help you pull weeds. Don't hold back, just do whatever you want with him."
Xu Feng has lost his temper. He does whatever Song Ning asks him to do because he has realized that refusing is useless.
It's better to just work and try to eat more tonight.
Song Ning stood on high ground, looking down at the land and the area below, thinking about what could be developed in the future.
It would be such a waste to just farm.
In past lives, places like this were generally good for developing tourism.
I heard that people here like to go on outings and play polo. There's a large area over there, so maybe... we could really build a polo field there.
Thinking about it this way, I need to find time to discuss it with the county magistrate.
The area in the west of the city is now taking shape, and the houses were all built according to Song Ning's suggestions. The houses are arranged in neat rows.
The crops in the fields have grown, and everything is lush and green. Coupled with the wildflowers along the roadside, it has a bit of a rural tourism feel to it.
After returning from the west of the city, Song Ning went to the construction site where the sewers were being dug.
Once we get familiar with the area, the pace is getting faster and faster. In another two months, it should be completed.
While the sewers were being dug, houses were being built around the area, and some people even started businesses.
Song Ning took a tour around the county and was in a good mood, as everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Who would have thought that when they first came here, this place was completely barren, with only a few dilapidated buildings belonging to the county government office, and not even a place to hang the county government office's plaque...
More than a month after moving out, the Song family's house was finally completed, and the family finally moved into their new home.
The courtyard gate has been replaced with a solid wood gate and painted. Upon entering, there is a stone slab floor and a landscape screen wall. To the left are two plots of land that have been cleared out, where some flowers, plants and vegetables are planted. Platforms have been built along the sides to prevent soil from flowing out.
A hole was dug next to the platform for rainwater to drain away.
On the right is a well, and next to the well is a large water vat.
Further on to the west, there's a pavilion with tables and chairs. People can drink tea and chat in the pavilion after dinner when they have nothing to do.
Several trees were transplanted in the middle, and swings and hammocks were hung on them, making it a great place to relax.
Three or four houses were built on the east side, where they made braised food in the summer; it was spacious.
There are also fixed lamp stands along the path in the yard. When candles are lit at night, they are placed inside, and the whole yard is lit.
Further ahead is where we live.
There was a hole in the wall outside the house that met the ground. In winter, a fire was lit in this hole to warm the floor inside the house.
This time, the house was no longer rustic. There was a kang (a heated brick bed) right inside the door, and two cabinets were placed on one side of the kang. The cabinets could be used to store things, and luggage could be placed on top. It was somewhat reminiscent of her grandfather's house in her previous life.
After the house was renovated, the storage room, toilet, and livestock pens were moved to the back.
There was a large open space in the backyard, which Song Dahai originally planned to use for farming, but Song Ning requisitioned it.
She built a row of houses; this was her plan for a soap workshop.
The whole family was excitedly going in and out of the house. Liu Yuelan and Grandma Liu couldn't wait to go to the kitchen to take a look.
Yunniang and the others usually make hair accessories, but now they have a dedicated workbench.
The Li family truly lived up to their reputation as a family of artisans; anything Song Ning could draw, they could make.
