"It shouldn't delay anything. Besides, it can also allow the people in our village to be prepared. But we have to remind them to keep their mouths shut and not spread it around."

The head of the village thought this was a good idea and took Nier's suggestion to heart.

I plan to tell the villagers about this matter early tomorrow morning.

The third child was worried and specifically reminded him, "Don't say it was Ni'er who brought it up. We don't want such a young child to be the focus of others' attention all the time."

Several incidents in the past have already pushed Nier to the forefront of public opinion. It is conceivable that she will definitely have a place in other people's after-dinner conversation. No one wants their child to be talked about behind others' backs. If Nier hears something unpleasant, she will be very sad.

The head of the village nodded and said, "I know my limits."

The third brother felt relieved after getting the guarantee. He was reliable and trustworthy, otherwise he would not have been the head of the village for so many years.

"Okay, then Ni'er and I will go back."

The head of the village stood up and escorted the man to the outside of the yard. "It's so late, it's better to go back early."

"Goodbye, Grandpa Lizheng."

Nier waved her hand and followed the third brother into the night.

The head of the village immediately came into the room, frowned, and slowly sat down on the kang. After a while, as if he had made a decision, he pulled the quilt over himself and fell asleep.

Nier told the head of the village about this matter. She felt relieved a little and sighed, hoping that there would be no flood.

After being busy all day, I was indeed a little tired. After lying on the kang for a while, I began to breathe evenly.

On the other side, Boss Niu couldn't sleep well. There was no door and the wind was still a little cold at night. It was not midsummer yet, but the chirping of insects outside the house was already making people a little irritated.

I never thought that even though my home was so dilapidated, there would be more difficult days than this. I finally understood what it felt like to have no door.

I must go up the mountain to chop down the tree and build the door tomorrow. I don't want to endure it for another day. It's already very difficult for the second brother to endure it for two days.

If it weren’t so dark now, I really want to go up the mountain right now.

The eldest son's wife saw him tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, "Why can't you sleep?"

The eldest brother turned to face his wife and said, "Yeah, the wind keeps blowing in, and there's so much noise outside, how can I sleep?"

"Why don't you go to mom's room? I feel fine and I can sleep."

The eldest son thought about it and realized that his mother defecated and urinated in the house. Although his wife cleaned it up, there was still a smell. It would be better if the smell was blown away by the wind.

Since his wife was able to sleep, he shouldn't toss and turn in bed. He just lay quietly, listening to his second brother's intermittent snoring in his room. He knew that he was already asleep. What a change of fortune.

Just grit your teeth and hold on. It's just one night, no big deal.

This was the most sound sleep the second child had had in the past two days. He even smacked his lips in his sleep. I don’t know what he was dreaming about, but he even laughed.

Miss Lin's maid received the news from the pigeon, but Miss Lin had already gone to bed, so she could only be informed tomorrow.

Taking advantage of the moonlight to take a look at the content above, this matter was actually related to Boss Niu. His ghost was really lingering around and had to link it to the young lady. It seemed that the punishment last time was too light. This time, they will definitely be taught a lesson.

As soon as the day broke, the third brother got up early. He not only had to deliver things to the restaurant, but also had to buy many other things. He didn't dare to delay and drove the donkey cart to the town.

He went into the store as soon as it opened and told the shopkeeper everything he wanted to buy.

The owner of this grain store is an old acquaintance of the third brother. He usually buys soybeans here, but he has never come here at this time, and he never buys so many varieties and in such large quantities.

Now is not the time to sow seeds. I was so curious that I couldn't help asking, "Can I ask why you bought so many?"

The third brother was stunned for a moment. He definitely couldn't tell him the truth. If it got out, it would be considered spreading rumors and disturbing the people, and he would have to be locked up.

After thinking about it, I finally came up with an excuse, "My family recently built a new house, and I wanted to invite relatives and neighbors to celebrate, so I bought some more."

"Congratulations, you come to me to buy things. I am honored to have you move into a new house." The shopkeeper bowed and slightly bent over to congratulate the third brother.

"Alas, it's just an adobe house, just a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

"Isn't this better than before? Living in a blue brick house is just around the corner."

"Then I'll take advantage of your good words." The third brother finally fooled the shopkeeper and breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the fact that he had built his own house, it would have been difficult to find an excuse.

After delivering the tofu, I have to go back quickly and make sure to do what Ni'er asked me to do.

I rushed home without stopping. The workers were already doing the final finishing work. I told them exactly what Ni'er had said yesterday. The helpers had never seen this new thing before, so they all gathered around.

"This is called a squat toilet, right?"

"Yes, it's a good name. It's convenient to squat on it."

“I don’t know how it works.”

"It looks good at first glance. The smooth glaze is cleaner than your face."

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work."

After hearing this, everyone swallowed back what they were about to say.

After it was installed, everyone gathered around this squat toilet and couldn't get enough of looking at it.

"I didn't expect the place where you poop could be so clean."

"Why don't I believe it? It's clean now, and it will be like this in a few days."

"Oh~ No, you see this family loves cleanliness, otherwise they wouldn't use this thing."

"That's right. It's placed in a separate room. If it's not clean, it will be suffocated to death."

"That makes sense. Where did you buy this thing? If it's useful, I'd like to get one too."

"It looks very expensive. You definitely can't afford it."

"You can't say that. Even if I can't afford it now, I can afford it in the future."

"It's not a question of whether I can afford it or not. I heard that this thing was made by the daughter of this family. There is only one of this kind and you can't buy it."

"Really?"

"Of course, I heard it from a ceramics master, so it must be reliable."

"Ahem~ Don't discuss the master's family here."

Everyone fell silent until they heard the cook calling everyone to eat. It was rare to meet such a generous host. It would be great if they could work here for the rest of their lives and have enough to eat every day.

There were several plates of lush green dishes on a golden nanmu table with intricate carvings. Miss Lin had no appetite at all. She had just been confined for a short time and seemed to have lost some weight.

The maid stood aside, looking at the young lady who had just woken up and looked a little listless. She must be in a bad mood. She didn't dare to say much. She probably didn't want to eat this meal. "Young lady, if you don't want to eat, I have some news to tell you."
