"Is this my home in the back mountain?"
The corners of Shu Jiaying's mouth trembled. The impact of this sentence was too great for her, because in her memory, her home in the back mountain was a thatched hut, and she didn't know which dead head had knocked her house down.
So strictly speaking, where does she have a home now?
Some are just a few pieces of rotten land.
Seeing Shu Jiaying's stunned look, Yu Chenfeng nodded affirmatively. He kindly explained, "Yes, this is indeed your home. I was injured here before, and it was my brother Kang Ningxia who took me away from the thatched hut. Later, he mistakenly thought that I liked this place, so he hired workers to rebuild a few rooms."
"I see. So...how much does it cost to build this house? I don't have that much money right now. Can I pay you back in installments?"
"That's not necessary, Miss Shu. You are my savior. If you don't mind, these houses are my way of repaying you for saving my life, right?"
"Is that so?"
In fact, regarding the last time Yu Chenfeng was bitten by a snake, Shu Jiaying knew that if she had not beaten him without asking the reason, Yu Chenfeng might have recovered long ago.
Now seeing Yu Chenfeng's frail appearance, Shu Jiaying felt a little guilty. However, for her now, she really had nothing except a little over one or two taels of silver and a gold hairpin. It seemed that she could only accept this "generous gift" with a thick face.
"Then I will respectfully obey your command."
Suddenly remembering that when she was attacked, a strange man scared the attacker away, Shu Jiaying glanced at Yu Chenfeng in black clothes.
"By the way, you were the one who scared off the people who hit me, right?"
"It's just a simple favor. I'm just curious, Miss Shu. You must be a villager of Guangming Village. What kind of hatred do you have with the people in this village? They hit you as if they wanted to kill you."
Shu Jiaying smiled helplessly.
"What grudge could I have against the people in this village? It's simply that they look down on me and think I'm ugly. Perhaps that's why they want to destroy me!"
Although Shu Jiaying spoke in a nonchalant tone, Yu Chenfeng couldn't help but slam the table when he heard that there were such lawless things happening in their Luosuo country.
"These people are too arrogant. Miss Shu, don't worry. If this matter is really as you said, I will take care of it for you and let the government handle it."
Shu Jiaying interrupted him immediately.
"Thank you, Your Highness. If I'm not mistaken, one of the two people who beat me up might be my stepmother, and the other is my nominal brother. If this matter is handled by the intelligence officer, I don't think I'll have to stay in Guangming Village anymore."
Judging from the personalities of those gossipy women in Guangming Village, it is estimated that they will definitely scold Shu Jiaying from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and they will definitely say that Shu Jiaying is an ungrateful person, who has grown wings now and even disowns her stepmother and brothers.
Shu Jiaying shook her head to get rid of these thoughts. In fact, it was not that she did not want revenge, but this method really did not work because she did not want to be bombarded by the entire village.
Yu Chenfeng couldn't understand Shu Jiaying's thoughts, but this was her business after all, so he had to say, "Whatever you say. By the way, young lady, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if you could lend me a room to stay in, as I might be going in and out of the mountains frequently during this period. If I come back early, I will take a boat directly back to Fengyun Town, but if it's too late..."
