My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

On the floor in the main room, the old lady sat on the upper seat, and Su Yunwan and other female family members sat down one after another.

The old lady looked serious. After looking around, she talked about the monthly silver: "Now the family's money is focused on building a house and other household expenses. Before the money is available, the monthly silver will be canceled..."

After Qin Ruolan heard this, she immediately turned her eyes to Amber and wanted to ask her what was going on.

Amber could only smile apologetically, explain the reason afterwards, and lend Qin Ruolan a tael of silver, so that Qin Ruolan didn't have any grudges.

Now, after the old lady hammered for a while, she added: "If you want to make money, you can make some embroidery at home and sell it in the shops in Fucheng. Don't do anything that is public."

Even though she has become a commoner, the old lady still has the idea of ​​​​"men take charge of the outside and women take charge of the house" and does not allow the female relatives to go out to work in the fields like peasant women.

"Of course, Wan Wan, those who are capable work harder and are not subject to such restrictions." The old lady smiled at Su Yun Wan.

Su Yunwan: "...Thank you grandma."

For dinner that day, everyone in the Qin family had a meal of whole deer dishes that were both delicious and delicious.

That night, Qin Junyi was so angry that he pestered Su Yunwan for it several times, until both of them were exhausted before resting.

The second before Su Yunwan fell asleep, she was thinking: I will never eat venison again!

Early the next morning, Qin Junxian brought his people and built a new thatched house with two bedrooms and one living room in the open space a hundred steps away from Qin's house, and helped Pei and Qin Ruolan pack their things and move there.

After breakfast, Grandma Fang came to resign from her position as a teacher, citing distance as an excuse.

Su Yunwan knew that she was actually doing it because of Qin Ruolan's behavior yesterday, so she made the decision directly and settled the tuition fee on the spot.

Since she helped her husband in the kitchen every meal, Su Yunwan made another contract with her to help in the kitchen. Although the salary was much less than that of a teacher, Grandma Fang happily signed her name.

She didn't know that at this moment, someone was also trying to figure her out.

From a thatched house a hundred meters away, Qin Junxian delivered firewood, rice, oil, salt and other kitchen supplies, and helped fill the water tank with water.

When she was ready to leave, Qin Ruoshan asked, "Second brother, can you ask a peasant woman to help us cook at home?"

"I'll go ask Li Zheng about it."

Qin Junxian knew that his mother and sister were both devout people, and that the fourth aunt and her daughter cooked along the way, so he was not surprised when he heard this request.

But Pei said: "The food cooked by those peasant women must not be delicious. Brother Xian, go and invite Aunt Fang."

"I don't want it!" Qin Ruolan was fed up with Grandma Fang's teachings and screamed in opposition.

Mrs. Pei felt worried and said, "Then invite one of the Zhao sisters. Their cooking skills are definitely much better than those of the peasant women."

"You can have this." Qin Ruolan nodded.

Qin Junxian: "...Do you think the Zhao sisters might come?"

He finally knew how his eldest brother felt when he faced the unreasonable demands of his mother and sister.

"Of course it's possible." Mrs. Pei said without hesitation, "The Zhao family is originally a cook. How come the father can do it but the daughter can't? Don't forget, their family is still dependent on the Qin family. They can make more money to be self-reliant. What's wrong?"

Qin Junxian: "...Then you go and invite people yourself, and I won't care about it."

"No problem, we just don't have enough money." Mrs. Pei looked embarrassed and complained, "Your grandmother has canceled the supply of monthly silver, so Lan Lan and I can only rely on you."

Qin Junxian immediately shook his head and said: "I've only been on duty for a few days, and it's not time to get paid yet. You can use meals as payment and invite a peasant woman to cook."

After saying that, he couldn't even stay for one more second and strode away.

On the way, Qin Junxian felt sour in his heart when he recalled what his elder brother said last night.

Just last night, Qin Junxian couldn't calm down after hearing the news about his sister's good deeds and moving away with her mother.

After embarking on the road to exile a few months ago, my mother made a big fuss about seizing power for the first time.

At that time, the eldest brother was suffering from severe punishment. He agreed to separate the family out of grief and anger, but he shamelessly refused to agree.

Later, the eldest brother recovered and gained the strength to protect himself and fight back. He decided to lead the family on a path to success, and no longer allowed the family to be divided.

If he proposes to live with his mother and sister, what is the difference between that and splitting up?

Going around in circles and coming back to the same place?

Is this his fate?

However, he cherishes the brotherhood with his elder brother and is willing to do whatever he wants.

Mistakes made out of ignorance in the past must never be made again!

After figuring out which was more important, his eyes became firm again.

So, he did whatever the eldest brother told him to do. Not only did he not say a word of plea, he also pushed back the ten taels of silver that the eldest brother gave him to settle down. He just said that his sister, like other family members, only received money from the father-in-law. Just get what you need for life.

As for his mother, he didn't mention a word.

The eldest brother was silent for a moment and said the words to restore his identity. He also smiled and said that Shiyi was back and he no longer needed to be a waiter by his side.

But I don't know why, even though his wish came true, he didn't feel much joy.

After what happened just now, he finally understood that he was worried that his mother would rely on him and do something to hurt his eldest brother and the Qin family again.

That's all, with Big Brother's permission, he can resume his identity at any time. For now, he should still be Big Brother's Ying Jiu.

Qin Junyi didn't know his psychological changes, so he only asked Zhao Yongfu to cook a big meal in the evening to celebrate Qin Junxian's return, and then waited for Su Yunwan to get up.

At three o'clock in the morning, Su Yunwan got up to eat. Then, accompanied by Qin Junyi, he went to the soil embryo room to see Ding Zhiming's bed.

As soon as I walked out of the thatched house, I saw houses rising from the ground in the distance, orderly occupying the originally barren open space.

"How come it was built so fast?" Su Yunwan looked surprised.

"They were so excited that they went to hammer down the wall after dinner and didn't rest until midnight." Qin Junyi said with a gentle smile, "I have asked Xiao Wu to take half of the troops to the grassland to survey the land. Before the heavy snow, Come and build as many barracks as possible.”

Su Yunwan said as he walked: "That area is designated as a military restricted area. When the time comes, a wall will be built on the mountain to prevent ordinary people from passing by. In addition, the location of the house must also take into account the rising water level during the flood season."

"Okay, we will build the wall after the house is completed. I have asked Liu Zian to go with us for survey. He is quite capable in road administration and infrastructure construction."

Liu Zian was a craftsman recruited when he was stationed in Heifeng Village in the past. At that time, he was not recognized for his talent and was forced to stay on the mountain by the bandits. He was indispensable for the Zhuohe River Bridge to be repaired in a short period of time.

The two of them walked and chatted, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the adobe house area.

Different from yesterday, there are many new faces today, including many women and children, doing whatever work they can.
