Shi Yi hurriedly walked through the tall weeds in the yard and came to the door.

I saw three men who looked similar, each standing there with tools.

"Excuse me, are these three brothers the eldest brothers of the village chief's family?" Shi Yi's dark, thin and yellow face flashed with a sincere smile.

"You are the eleventh sister, right? My father asked us to come and help. I am the eldest, He Fu, this is the second, He Lu, and that is the third, He Shou."

Shi Yi summed it up: the eldest is tall, the second is strong, and the third is short.

"Three brothers, please come in quickly."

After entering the yard, Shi Yi shouted:

"Husband, the three elder brothers from the village chief's family are here!"

Ye Lingfeng looked at the three honest men and said politely, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers."

"It's okay, it's okay~"

The three of them quickly began to clean up the house.

When Zhaozhao woke up, he called for his mother first. Shiyi picked him up, made him some milk powder, and let him play by himself in the yard.

Shi Yi and Xiao Hua first cleaned the bedroom, kitchen, and toilet.

Because there was no water, several older brothers first repaired the well, replaced the rope that Shi Yi used to pull the carriage with a new one, then lowered the wooden barrel and drew up a bucket of water.

The water was still clear. Shi Yi went to clean up the room and furniture.

After pulling out the weeds in the yard, repairing the broken fence, and replacing the rotten grass on the roof with new ones, the yard looked much smoother. Then I repaired the parts in the rooms that needed repairing, and it was almost dark.

The village chief came with his hands behind his back.

"This house would be nice if it were tidied up!" he said with a smile.

Ye Lingfeng raised his eyebrows and said politely:

"The village chief is here! Thanks to your brothers for their help."

The village chief waved his hand: "It's okay!"

"Brothers, please stop here today. He Feng is very grateful. It's just that we are new here, so we don't have much food to offer. After you settle in, He Feng will treat you all to a drink!"

A few people looked at each other and said, "Let's drink!" The deer in their hearts were about to jump out!

Shi Yi politely sent them away, asked Xiaohua to pull the cart in, and closed the gate.

The porridge I cooked in the evening was shredded chicken porridge, and Zhao Zhao didn’t finish the chicken leg that he had eaten at noon.

After dinner, Xiaohua boiled a large pot of water and everyone took a bath. Shi Yi wiped Ye Lingfeng clean.

Shi Yi asked Xiao Hua to clean up three rooms: one for Ye Lingfeng, one for Shi Yi and Ye Zhao, and one for Xiao Hua.

Shi Yi spread the bedding on the old bed left at He Xiucai's house, then blew out the candle, hugged Ye Zhao and fell asleep tiredly.

The next morning, Shi Yi woke up to the noise. She was too tired yesterday.

There is someone at the gate.

"Who the hell is this? He actually ran to Mr. He's house and occupied his house! This is too shameless!"

A shriveled and skinny old lady stood with her hands on her hips, jumping up and down and shouting, with a vicious light shooting out of her inverted triangle eyes.

Nearby, some villagers who had gotten up early to work or hunt in the mountains gathered around. There were also some gossipy country ladies who wanted to join in the fun. Everyone was talking.

A sharp light flashed in Shi Yi's eyes. She quickly put on her clothes, went into the inner room to help Ye Lingfeng put on his clothes, and opened the door.

Zhao Zhao was so scared that she ran over with tears in her eyes:

"Mother, mother, someone is scolding me, Zhao Zhao is scared!"

She picked up Zhao Zhao and kissed him on the face. Seeing that he was wearing a rather old-fashioned thin cotton coat, which made him feel warm, Shi Yi comforted him:

"Don't be afraid, we have Daddy and Mommy here! Xiaohua, make some porridge and boil some eggs in the morning. The eggs and pickles are in the kitchen. I don't know where the village chief left them last night."

"Okay, miss."

"Eleven, move that chair to the yard and I'll sit outside."

It’s too far away, and I can’t hear other people’s voices clearly.

"it is good."

After settling Ye Lingfeng down, Shi Yi opened the door.

Outside the door, there was a crowd of people. A skinny old lady jumped around and cursed:

"You rotten-minded outsider, you are so bold that you dare to occupy Mr. He's house. Get out of here, quickly!"

"That's it, come out!"

"I heard that this man is a cripple! He can't walk! Young lady, if you feel lonely at night, I will accompany you!"

A man with greasy hair stood nearby and said obscene words. He was wearing a black shorts with patches all over his face, and his teeth were black and yellow, with a vegetable leaf stain on them.

Before he could finish his words, a woman with a vegetable basket slapped the man on the back!

"He Laoqi, your old illness is about to come back! Are you looking for a fight?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm just talking casually, just talking casually..."

Then he touched the back of his head guiltily and squatted on the side.

Shi Yi came out of the yard, holding a handkerchief, covered her face and started crying.

"My dear fellow villagers, my husband's name is He Feng. I am the eleventh child in my family, so I was called Eleven. My family suffered a disaster in the south, so we had no choice but to follow the villagers on a long journey to the north. As a result, on the way, some villagers died or scattered. Because we were hiding from a group of hungry wolves at night, we also fled with the villagers. In the end, I don't know how we got here in the forest."

Shi Yi wiped away her tears, but her dark yellow skin emitted a warm glow in the sunlight.

"Fortunately, the village chief accepted us. Yesterday at noon, the aunts who were doing needlework at the entrance of the village also showed us a lot of concern. We know that Hejia Village is a good village where families can be happy together! The village is full of kind people!"

The faces of the onlookers became extremely ugly, and some even showed embarrassed, guilty and remorseful looks.

"That's right, this family is so miserable!"

"We will all live in the same village from now on. He Feng's family, if you need any help, just let me know."

"Thank you all, brothers, sisters-in-law, uncles, and aunts! I'll clean up the house someday, and invite everyone to come over for dinner!"

"Hey, come on!"

Smiles flashed in everyone's eyes. After all, it's good for everyone if there is one good villager.

The shriveled old lady started jumping around, but when she saw that no one was talking to her closely, she felt that the topic had gone off track.

He walked forward a few steps, put one hand on his waist, and pointed at Shi Yi:

"How can you, an outsider, live in Mr. He's house? You should know that this house costs twenty taels!"

Ye Lingfeng's voice suddenly rang in Shi Yi's ears:

"Shi Yi, she originally wanted to occupy this house for her youngest son's wedding, but she didn't want to pay, so her family had already agreed that she would go to whoever lived there to make trouble."

Looking back at Ye Lingfeng, Shi Yi nodded.

"Grandma, my family did buy this house from the village chief, and it was only with my dowry that we were able to raise enough money. So, grandma, it seems that you have to find another way for your youngest son to get married."

The skinny old lady became angry and left angrily.

Behind me, there were bursts of laughter from the crowd...
