In the courtyard with the most rooms among the three courtyards allocated to the Cheng family.

Mrs. Lin looked at these thatched houses, and suddenly felt sour in her heart.

"It's finally settled. From now on, this will be our new home. We have to tell your father some time, otherwise he won't be able to find a place."

Cheng Daniu took a step forward, wanting to comfort his mother.

"mother,"

"Okay! Let's start working quickly. Those who should collect firewood will collect firewood, and those who should carry water will carry water. Get all the food and other things from the carriage. Let's make a simple meal first. We should be hungry."

Cheng Daniu only had time to call out "Mother", but before he could say any comforting words, Mrs. Lin resumed her loud voice.

When we first arrived, the Cheng family did not separate for a while. Everyone gathered in this small courtyard for the time being.

The formerly silent courtyard suddenly came alive.

After Mrs. Lin arranged the tasks for the adults, she quickly walked to Deng Xiong who was about to fetch water.

"Sanxiong, you will live with Grandma Lin's family from now on. When you reach the age of marriage, I will build you a new house like Daping and Erping, and let your little family live together."

Deng Xiong pursed his lips. Although he was not smart, he still knew how to behave.

"Thank you, Grandma Lin."

Mrs. Lin patted Deng Xiong's strong arm with her withered hands and smiled lovingly.

"Go and bring back the water, and Grandma Lin will cook for you."

Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xiao Lin, and Mrs. Cheng were busy in the kitchen.

Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong were responsible for unloading the luggage from the carriage into the yard.

Cheng Daniu, Cheng Erniu, Cheng Daping, and Li Sanzhu were busy building a shed in the southwest corner and southeast corner of the yard, with Shaoqing helping them from time to time.

This was a place for the family's horses and mules.

Fortunately, the yard is relatively large, otherwise it would be really troublesome to place the animals.

Shaoqing originally planned to return to the city after dropping Cheng Wan and the others off, but Mrs. Lin sincerely invited him to have lunch before going back.

Shaoqing saw that Cheng Daniu and the others were very busy, so he felt embarrassed to talk about leaving now.

It's just that he is still injured after all and can't do heavy work, so he helps pass things over from time to time.

As for Cheng Wan, she only has one mission.

Look at the children at home.

Making lunch at noon was very simple, after all, there was still a lot of work waiting to be done.

Everyone quickly finished their lunch, put some food on their stomachs, and started packing their luggage.

"Young master, I am going back. Remember to eat well and sleep well while you are here. Listen to Miss Cheng. I will come to see you again."

Shaoqing squatted in front of Gu Yu and said goodbye to the little baby.

Just when Shaoqing thought Gu Yu would ignore him, Gu Yu's eyes moved.

Xiaowa raised his head, looked at Shaoqing, and nodded slowly and solemnly.

"Young Master..."

Shaoqing's eyes shone with excitement, and he turned to look at Cheng Wan, "Miss Cheng, my young master will trouble you first."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of him."

Saying that, Cheng Wan smiled and gently pulled the hair on the top of Gu Yu's head.

Gu Yu was attracted by the movement above his head. He raised his head and turned around half a circle, and finally hugged Cheng Wan's legs.

The onlookers were all amused by the little baby's cuteness. Mrs. Lin laughed and scolded: "Don't tease him all the time, be careful to make him cry."

Cheng Wan lowered her head and looked at Gu Yu. She took Gu Yu's little finger and shook it gently.

"We are great every year. We won't cry easily, right?"

Gu Yu raised his head and looked at Cheng Wan. After nodding, he hugged Cheng Wan's legs tightly again.

Old Mrs. Lin shook her head helplessly and said to herself, "I haven't seen how gentle A Wan is to the little kid. Why does this little kid like A Wan so much?"

Shaoqing smiled at the heartwarming scene in front of him. He thought he should understand why the young master agreed to let Miss Cheng take the young master away.

Shaoqing stood up and bowed to Cheng Wan and Mrs. Lin.

"Everyone, see you soon."

Shaoqing is gone, and the only people left in the yard are his own family members.

Gu Yu, this kid, can be regarded as one of his own for the time being.

Mrs. Lin waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and carry everything from the yard into the house. Let's figure out what belongings we have and divide what should be divided. Then you can go back and clean up your own house."

What kind of belongings do you have?

In fact, the current belongings of the Cheng family are not very large, excluding those things that belong to Cheng Wan alone.

One bag of rice, two bags of flour, a few quilts, two iron pots, and leftover oil and salt.

There are also some other bits and pieces, such as rice bowls, wooden barrels and the like.

The bulk of the split was not them, but the seventy-nine and a half taels of silver that the Cheng family held in Mrs. Lin's hands before they fled.

Originally there were about one hundred and three taels.

But later, it cost a lot of money to hire a doctor and get medicine for Li Sanzhu.

In addition, Aunt Cheng borrowed another five taels of silver.

Before finally fleeing, Mrs. Lin still had seventy-nine and a half of the money in her hand.

Mrs. Lin took out a tightly wrapped cloth bag from a quilt, and then carefully opened the cloth bag.

"All the money at home is here, a total of seventy-nine and a half taels. As we agreed before, we will only divide these when we divide the family. A Wan's things will not be divided. Don't worry about the two thousand taels. Say something. It’s not nice to hear. The main reason for asking Mr. Gu is to thank A Wan for saving his life. It has nothing to do with any of us. If anyone thinks about cooking for Mr. Gu, he should first think about the last few days. Whoever came here is taking advantage of someone else."

"Milk……"

Mrs. Lin glared, "What kind of milk are you talking about? I'm talking about business, don't interrupt!"

Cheng Wan pursed her lips. She felt that the two thousand taels were not all her fault. Mr. Gu was also grateful to the old lady and the others.

But it doesn't matter, she has been prepared.

After Mrs. Lin glared at Cheng Wan, she continued: "I must have lived with the boss, so of the seventy-nine and a half taels, the boss will share forty-nine and a half, and the second child will share the remaining thirty taels."

"Myolie."

Aunt Cheng quickly agreed: "Mom."

Mrs. Lin's face was very calm, "This money is the money I saved before fleeing, so I won't tell you any difference."

"Mom! What are you talking about! I never thought about asking for money from my mother's family. Even the five taels of silver that I used to treat Sanzhu's injuries and borrowed from my mother, Sanzhu and I also kept this in mind. We always thought about it. Whenever you have money in your pocket, return it to your parents’ family as soon as possible.”

Aunt Cheng's face turned red with anxiety. She was really afraid that her two brothers and two sisters-in-law would misunderstand her.

Now that she is with her family every day, she is very satisfied with the current situation and does not want to cause conflicts at home.

Li Sanzhu nodded in agreement. He had never thought about sharing the Yue family's property. The Yue family treated him well. If he continued to worry about it, he would be very unhuman.

Mrs. Lin's expression did not change in any way because of Aunt Cheng's anxiety.

The old lady has a very clear mind.

She felt that many family discords were caused by the lack of clear words.

Some people think too much, and some people think too little.

If you don't think of going together, there will naturally be discord.

She just wanted to put everything out in the open. After everything was explained clearly, there wouldn't be so many conflicts.

"The money that Sanzhu spent on treating his injuries, as well as the five taels of silver that you borrowed, my mother has the final say. You can give it back to your two brothers' families, and the family will pay back twelve taels."

Cheng Daniu opened his mouth. He wanted to say that he didn't need to pay back the twelve taels of his family's money, but he also thought that he didn't know what his wife was thinking, and he didn't know what his second brother's family was thinking.

If he suddenly said something he didn't want, it would be bad if his wife was unhappy, or his second brother's family was unhappy. It would be better to discuss it with his wife later.

Coincidentally, Cheng Erniu thought so too.

Mrs. Lin glanced at everyone's expressions and made a final decision: "That's it. Our household registrations have been separated, and our property has been divided. We will live a good life in the future. You are all born to me. Whatever happens If we help each other, our lives will be the same."

"Wait a moment."

Everyone turned to look at Cheng Wan who suddenly spoke up.
