"Wife, what do you think about my older brothers' children? Should we let them follow suit?"
“Jianjun, they are getting old, and learning now won’t be of much use.”
"And think about it, during the New Year, those two sisters-in-law had a lot of complaints about Chengcai coming to our house, but what does that have to do with them?"
"I think they're meddling too much. If they follow along and learn from them, who knows what might happen?"
"Okay, honey, I understand. We'll talk about it later. I'll help if I can."
"Sure, but we'll definitely need Zhuzi and Chengcai. It won't be just about eating rabbits anymore."
"I understand, honey. I get what you mean. Don't worry."
Tingting still harbored some resentment towards them, after all, they had treated them quite well back then.
But there's a reason why Chengcai came to their house. Doesn't saving Zhuzi matter to them?
Compared to the pillar, what is a little food, and what is new clothes?
She gave him a lecture, saying that in her eyes, Zhu Zi was saved by Cheng Cai, so naturally he should thank him.
Cheng Cai and You Cai are both good children, and Jianjun and I now treat them as our own. So, we were naturally unhappy to hear them say that.
I felt they weren't grateful people, so naturally I didn't want to associate with them.
Jianjun had no objections, after all, what his wife said was true.
No one knows how many more people will come to this village, so naturally the houses are quite large, and these new houses are connected to the old ones.
However, in order to save space and money, the new house was not built as a separate room as before.
Now the room is filled with kang beds that are several meters long, divided into two sides with a passageway in the middle.
Xiulan and the others initially just wanted to go and see what was going on, since they figured a new house would definitely be better than the old one.
But no one expected that this would be worse than them renting a house, since they each lived in a separate room.
Sometimes when I'm really hungry, I can eat something and no one can see me, which is quite convenient.
The stove is at the head of the kang (heated brick bed), and the middle part is too long. The middle and end of the kang will definitely get cold.
Xiulan and the others had anticipated that there would definitely be arguments later on, since the winters here were extremely cold.
Nobody wants to live in such a cold place, and burning firewood is quite expensive. How much firewood would you need to burn to warm up the whole kang (heated brick bed)?
In winter here, even with your head outside the blanket, it feels freezing. If the kang (heated brick bed) gets cold, it's even more unbearable.
Wu Zhen and Lin Xiujuan had high expectations, but their hearts sank when they saw it.
Such a long kang (heated brick bed), it must be so cold! But then I thought, the two of us arrived early, so there's not too much to worry about.
If Cheng Cai's family could stay in the village, that would be great. After all, it's just the two of them, so there wouldn't be too much trouble.
Then he thought about it and realized that Zhang Tingting was not someone to be trifled with; she had given him a hard time last time.
We've already offended Li Dachun, so we can't afford to offend Zhang Tingting and the others as well.
Lin Yuting was quite happy to see the result. She had felt uneasy when she heard that she had won her argument with Li Dachun last time.
She's much happier now. Nobody's stupid; they're sure to have a lot of trouble ahead of them.
"Wu Zhen, I see your house. It's really nice. We won't fight with you for it," Lin Yuting said deliberately.
"It's okay. I arrived early. I don't think it's bad at all; it's quite nice."
"Yes, it'll be more lively with more people around, unlike how lonely we are. I'm going to go gather firewood on the mountain now."
"By the way, you can't use firewood for winter either, so hurry up and go up the mountain to collect some."
"What, are you so happy about this surprise that you've gone mad?" Lin Yuting's words were sharp as well.
With just a few words, Wu Zhen and Lin Xiujuan's expressions darkened.
