The village chief was a little surprised to see the silver. Xiao Li had brought back silver but hadn't handed it over.
Instead, they think about their own interests, which shows they're somewhat clever.
"Your parents' side..."
“They already said yesterday that a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; I have nothing to do with them anymore.”
The village chief nodded, "But you're a weak woman. Even if you have some money, how will you live in the future?"
Xiao Li picked up the silver ingot, squeezed it, and immediately the silver dented in.
The village chief looked at Xiao Li with surprise, not expecting that this girl was such a strongwoman.
"I've been doing manual labor since I was a child, so I'm strong and not afraid."
The village chief finally nodded in agreement. He not only approved the land for Xiaoli, but also rushed to the town government office to change her household registration.
Xiao Li took out 50 taels of silver and settled everything. There was no need to build a house; she simply bought the wooden house at the foot of the mountain, along with the land there.
The wooden house was built by a hunter in the village; it's quite new, but unfortunately, he hasn't lived there for even a year.
Because wild boars came down from the mountain in search of food and killed the entire hunter's family, the house was left vacant, and no one dared to touch it.
Later, the female lead arrived, and their family managed to buy the wooden house at a bargain price.
Now that Xiaoli has bought the wooden house, the female lead will build a house elsewhere in the future.
Xiao Li went to the foot of the mountain to clean the house, which was in a state of disrepair because no one had lived there for a long time.
The yard was overgrown with weeds. Xiaoli planned to pull the weeds first, and then cut some branches to repair the fence.
Just then, a skinny girl walked in from outside. Who else could it be but Gan San Niang?
Speaking of Gan San Niang, her family is still very poor.
Because the female lead hadn't arrived yet, Gan San Niang's father was gored by a wild boar while hunting, resulting in a disability in his right leg that prevented him from hunting again.
Not only that, he also had to take medicine frequently, so his family was destitute and ate only coarse food.
When the female protagonist transmigrated, it was a time of transition between generations.
With no rice to cook, Gan San Niang had no choice but to go to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables on an empty stomach. By then, the wild vegetables were all too old, so she had to go deep into the mountains.
Later, she fell into a valley and was seriously injured. After being taken home, she miraculously survived.
She also learned to hunt and led her family to a better life.
Right now, Gan San Niang is just an introverted and timid young girl.
When Gan San Niang saw Xiao Li pulling weeds, she frowned, then smiled at Xiao Li.
She touched the wild vegetables in her basket, her expression somewhat conflicted, but in the end she still took out a small handful of wild vegetables.
"Xiao Li, here, you can have this. That's weed, you can't eat it."
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment. Could this silly girl really think that she was so hungry that she was eating grass?
"Third Aunt, I've bought this courtyard. I'm weeding it now. I'll be living here from now on."
Gan San Niang then sheepishly put the wild vegetables back.
"Then let me help you."
She put down her basket and went into the yard to help.
She helped because the two of them used to cut pig feed together and were quite familiar with each other.
Later, when she heard that Gan Xiaoli had been sent to town by her family to "bring good luck" (a traditional Chinese custom of marrying someone to bring good fortune), she felt a sense of relief, thinking that she didn't have parents like that.
Although my family was struggling to get enough to eat and wear, and our living conditions were much worse, I knew my parents would never do such a thing.
Xiao Li sized up Gan San Niang. She was the same age as the original owner, but Gan San Niang was a little shorter than the original owner.
Although she was a bit pale and thin, her features were very beautiful, with particularly large eyes, but they lacked any sparkle.
This is all because life is too hard, so even little people are full of sorrow.
Xiao Li didn't ask her for help for nothing. Around noon, she took a steamed bun out of her bag and handed it to Gan San Niang.
Gan San Niang was still unwilling to accept it, but Xiao Li finally told her to take it back and soak it for her newborn son to eat, so she finally accepted it.
If Xiao Wu doesn't eat some rice or noodles soon, he won't be able to survive.
In the afternoon, Xiaoli ate something and then continued weeding.
Gan San Niang also came with her younger sister Si Niang.
She said the steamed buns were too precious and she had to help with chores in the afternoon.
Xiao Li went with her, and the three of them quickly pulled up the weeds, tidied up the wooden house, and cleaned it up before Gan San Niang left with her sister.
People were so simple and honest back then; one steamed bun was enough to get two workers.
Xiao Li went to the carpenter's house again and bought some furniture. She picked and chose in the warehouse and loaded a whole truck. When it was time to go home, Xiao Li was in trouble.
How are we going to get such a big truckload of stuff home?
Fortunately, the carpenter was very kind and had his son help deliver it back.
After arriving home and unloading the goods, Xiaoli brought him some water and thanked him.
