Chapter 43 Repairing the Roof



Soon, the second brother, who had gone out earlier, also arrived carrying two large baskets of tiles.

Behind him followed a young woman who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, carrying a ladder on her shoulder.

Despite her delicate appearance, she possesses astonishing strength, carrying a ladder as large as herself on her shoulder without showing the slightest sign of fatigue.

Although her complexion was dark, when she saw Zhiyin and the others, a shy and kind smile immediately appeared on her face.

Just as Zhiyin was wondering if this person might be her second brother's sister.

Yao Yulin kindly stepped forward and took the ladder from him, smiling gratefully as she said, "Dazhuang's wife, thank you and Dazhuang for your help."

"It's alright, we're all neighbors, helping each other is only right."

The woman, who was also the second brother's wife, wiped the sweat from her brow and smiled.

Zhiyin couldn't help but be shocked, even though she knew that women in ancient times married very early.

But isn't this too early? In modern times, that would be just the beginning of high school, right?

But she only paused for a moment before sweetly calling out "Second Sister-in-law".

At the same time, he quickly brought out stools and gestured for them to sit in the yard.

Zhiyin stood by the stairs, occasionally helping to pass tiles to her second brother. The two worked together well and were quite fast.

Zhihua then quickly brought out the steamed buns and pastries from inside the house and placed them on another stool, calling out sweetly and thoughtfully, "Second Sister-in-law, have some steamed buns!"

"Good job drawing."

My second sister-in-law was also quite envious of the meat buns, after all, her family wasn't well-off.

Seeing the expectant looks from Yao Yulin and the others, he didn't refuse, but generously picked one up and took a bite.

The group chatted as they watched Zhiyin and her companion work, and seemed quite content.

After putting their things down, Yuanyuan and Mengmeng took their new dog friend, Meiqiu, to their hideout.

The two tigers and the dog were never idle along the way, chattering away non-stop.

Soon, almost all the animals in the forest knew that Zhiyin, the person they could talk to, had moved down the mountain and become their neighbor.

They were all very curious and wondered when they could go down the mountain to see her.

Time flew by. Thanks to my second brother's quick reflexes, by noon the house, which had been dented by the snow, was completely transformed.

"It's all sorted out. We'll make it through this winter without any problems!"

The second brother clapped his hands in satisfaction and jumped down.

Yao Yulin quickly handed him water and said with concern, "Thank you, Dazhuang and your wife. Please sit down and rest."

The second brother didn't stand on ceremony. Laying the tiles was indeed hard work, so he immediately took the water and sat down with his sister-in-law on a stool to chat.

Seeing that everyone was having a good time and that she didn't need any help, Zhiyin informed Yao Yulin and then went to the back mountain.

Originally, I wanted to ask Yuanyuan's mother to help me take her to the market, but when I arrived, I saw a white wolf that looked exceptionally majestic and imposing.

The moment he saw her, the white wolf's eyes lit up, and he excitedly rushed over, his large head almost touching Zhiyin's face, his eyes full of curiosity, "Awooo awooo!"

'Are you one of those people who can talk?'

Seeing this, Zhiyin couldn't help but laugh and simply moved its huge wolf head away.

Seeing how curious this guy was, I seriously suspect that it asks everyone who comes by this question. Otherwise, how could we have encountered it before even entering the deep mountains?

Indeed, just as Zhiyin had predicted, several groups of hunters who came up the mountain were terrified by the sudden appearance of the enormous wolf head, crying and saying they wanted to go find their mothers.

"Yes, little white wolf, what are you doing here? What do you want with me?"

After Zhiyin finished asking the question, she saw that Bai Lang's eyes lit up instantly. She rolled her eyes and immediately had an idea.

"Are you trying to play games with me? How about we make a deal? You can take me to the county first."

The white wolf was clearly interested in Zhiyin, and immediately lay down on the ground without hesitation, blinking its beautiful beastly eyes frantically to signal Zhiyin to get on its back.

Seeing the white wolf's beautiful fur, Zhiyin sat down without any hesitation.

Feeling its softness, Zhiyin couldn't help but squint her eyes in happiness, chatting with it while gently stroking its fluffy fur.

"My family has moved to a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain. You can come to visit me anytime, but be careful not to scare the villagers."

Zhiyin couldn't wait for lots of little animals to come and play with her, because she really loves fluffy little cuties.

Upon hearing this, the big white wolf's eyes lit up dramatically, and it nodded repeatedly, its two adorable wolf ears twitching back and forth, prompting Zhiyin to rub them incessantly.

The white wolf felt the softness coming from its ear and comfortably squinted its eyes, almost bumping its head into a tree.

"Ouch... Be careful, be careful, be careful."

Zhiyin exclaimed in surprise, and only then did the white wolf realize what was happening. Feeling guilty and fearful, it stopped and quickly changed direction.

Along the way, the man and the wolf chatted about interesting things.

Time flew by, and the train moved quickly, soon arriving in the county town.

Seeing that the white wolf was reluctant to leave, Zhiyin could only pat its head and say, "Good boy, I'll come find you again next time."

"I have things to do now."

Having said that, it ignored its pleading eyes and left without a second thought.

As Zhiyin walked, she weighed the silver in her hand, pondering what she should buy.

A carriage must be provided first, otherwise it will be very inconvenient later.

Secondly, there are essential items such as large cotton quilts and new pots, pans, and dishes.

The streets were still bustling with pedestrians. Zhiyin looked around and soon arrived at the place where horse-drawn carriages were sold.

However, before she could even go inside, a woman's malicious and angry shouts came from not far away.

"Stop her!"

Zhiyin had no idea that this was directed at her, and continued choosing a carriage on her own.

It wasn't until two or three burly men suddenly blocked her view, casting a shadow that obscured her vision, that she abruptly looked up, her brows furrowing instantly. "Who are you?"

However, the burly man didn't even glance at her, but instead blocked her path with an unfriendly look, and respectfully called out to the aggressive woman who was running towards him, "Madam, we have stopped her."

"Pah...you little slut, you've kept me waiting!"

The woman was so fat, and seemed to have run too fast, that she kept holding her waist and panting heavily as she approached, her eyes filled with malice as she glared at Zhiyin.

The moment Zhiyin saw her, he finally remembered who she was.

Isn't that the person who kept badmouthing her when she was teaching that thief a lesson yesterday, and the one she threw a dead rat into his mouth?

Looks like they've come looking for trouble!

Seeing her aggressive demeanor, Zhiyin instantly understood and couldn't help but smile with amusement and sarcasm.
