I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 387 Unintentional intervention

After the matter of building a house was agreed upon, the whole family was very excited, especially Mrs. Li, who rubbed her hands and walked around in the yard, "Mom, are we really going to build a big house?"

Bai Yunxi looked at her happy look and pointed to the homestead at her feet.

“We can just build a big yard on the original site. Fortunately, our land is big enough and we don’t need to buy it from the village. The front and back yards combined are nearly two acres in size, which is enough for our family to live in.”

“Mom, I need to plan it carefully. What kind of yard is suitable?”

Li listened, her eyes sparkling, she clapped her hands,

“Mom is right, we have a big family, so we need to build a big yard.”

"Ahem... Li, please stop saying a few words. Building a big yard is not something you can just talk about. It will cost a lot of money. Our family's conditions are limited, so we have to do what we can."

Bai Anyan glared at his wife, then turned to look at Baiyun River. The house he built at home depended entirely on the grain from the summer harvest. Without careful planning, things could easily go wrong.

“Mom, my son agrees to build a house, so I’ll make a good plan... If it’s too difficult, don’t force it. At worst, just like dad before, it’s okay to expand slowly.”

Hearing the second brother’s reminder, Bai Yunxi looked up at him, but she didn’t blame him.

“You are right, some things must be done within your ability and you cannot be blindly arrogant, so I will consider it carefully.”

Hearing his mother's tone, Bai Anyan's anxious heart immediately calmed down. He was really afraid that his mother would be extravagant and wasteful, and he would be in trouble if he couldn't keep it in the end.

Unfortunately, before he could feel happy, his mother dashed his hopes.

“We have a large family, and the fourth and fifth children will also marry and have children in the future. When the time comes, the wife, children, and grandchildren will have a lot of children. If we can do it in one step, we will save the last trouble.”

Bai Anyan: “…”

 Are you going to do what you say you can do within your ability?

Bai Yunxi looked at his speechless expression, raised his eyebrows, and turned to look at Xiao Wu sitting next to him.

“You are the smartest one in our family, what do you have to say?”

When everyone heard this, they all turned their attention to Xiao Wu, waiting for his answer.

Being stared at by her mother, brother and sister-in-law, Xiao Wu was not nervous at all and glanced around lightly.

“When it comes to building a house, my father has the foresight. If he hadn’t bought this piece of land at the entrance of the village, our family would really have no place to stay.”

Hearing Xiao Wu’s reminder, several people could not help but remain silent, especially Bai Yunxi.

When Lao Juren first bought this piece of land at the head of the village, he originally planned to build a private school. However, his uncle stopped him and said that the land for the ancestral hall was spacious and he could use it as he pleased.

It is somewhat wasteful to build a private school on the purchased homestead land. There are many children in the family, and the tree has big branches. Sooner or later the family will be separated. It is better to leave it to the children to build a house in the future, which can also save a lot of trouble.

Because of this, Lao Juren did not insist and just built a few shacks here. Now it is more convenient for their mothers.

Looking at it now, it’s actually a blessing in disguise.

 Otherwise, they would lose their private school and they would have to go through a lot of troubles to protect their homestead.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi curled the corners of his lips. Lao Juren, a father, was like a wax torch. He burned himself clean for the sake of his children, and left a piece of homestead that he had no intention of planting.

“Xiao Wu is right. In order to keep your father informed underground, we have to build a high-gate compound to rest in peace for your father’s spirit in heaven.”
