Jiang Muxia's eyes flashed. Is this a threat to her?

"Okay." She pursed her lips and smiled, "It's right to tell the truth, so that grandpa won't beat you."

She frowned and stopped talking.

"Girl, who is it?" Jiang Yuzhou's voice came, with heavy footsteps, and he was walking towards the lobby.

Jiang Hongxing seemed to have seen a savior. Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Muxia spoke before her, "Dad, it's Hongxing. She said grandma missed me and asked her to come over to see how we are doing. Is the meal ready? The weather is quite cold. Let her eat and go home early."

"Okay." Jiang Yuzhou said with a smile, "What a coincidence, your mother made Hong Xing's favorite carrot and meat stuffed buns, as well as millet porridge. I'll serve it right away."

"Dad, I'll help you." Jiang Muxia followed him to the kitchen, and she said, "Dad, Mom, I have to go back to the village. Hong Xing came here to ask me to keep her in the restaurant. If I don't agree, she will definitely go home and complain to Grandpa. I have to take the initiative and go home early to shut her up."

"What?" Lu Chaoyun was anxious. "This little girl is really stubborn and won't change. I have to scold her."

She threw away the rag in her hand and went to the lobby.

Jiang Muxia and Jiang Yuzhou held her back, "Mom, don't be impulsive. Let her eat and drink well and let her go. She won't be able to jump around for much longer."

Lu Chaoyun was so angry that he was about to yell at Jiang Muxia.

"Mother, please listen to your daughter." He winked at Lu Chaoyun, "Haven't you seen what your daughter is capable of?"

Lu Chaoyun's temper came and went quickly, "It's up to you. I don't care."

She took off her apron and went to the back room.

"Mu Xia, do you need my help?" Li Jiyi asked.

"No need. I'll go to the tavern to borrow a carriage now. If you have any problems at the restaurant, go find Xu Da." She packed up simply, changed her clothes, got on the carriage, found a snack shop that was open, and bought a few boxes of snacks.

He got on the carriage and headed southeast.

The Guan family blacksmith shop has opened, and Guan Tiexin is working hard in the shop.

"Uncle Guan, I'm here." Jiang Muxia tied up the horse and walked into the shop.

"Muxia." Guan Tiexin smiled when he saw her, "Thanks to you, there has been a long queue of people coming to order stoves these days. I can't handle it even if I try my best, but I have made a lot of money."

"That's good." Jiang Muxia was really happy for him. "I won't chat with you any more. I still have a few stoves I ordered. I'll take one today."

While Guan Tiexin was moving the stove onto the carriage, Jiang Muxia brought two boxes of snacks to his house. A stove and fire wall were installed in the room. The firewood was burning vigorously in the furnace, and two cakes were roasting on the edge of the stove. The whole room was warm.

Suanzao was sleeping soundly in the quilt, while Xiao Tiedan was sitting in front of the stove holding a small basket with beans in it.

"Tiedan, sister came to see you." Jiang Muxia put the snacks in her hand on the table and said in a low voice: "Are you and your sister okay?"

"Sister." Tiedan put down the small basket and hugged her. "We are all fine. We have enough food to eat and we are not cold. Dad said that it was your sister who came up with the good ideas and asked us to remember your kindness."

Jiang Muxia's heart softened. She touched his head and whispered, "It's your father who is willing to endure hardships. Good boy, I have something urgent to do today. Next time, I will take you to my restaurant to play. There is a little boy the same age as you there."

After leaving Guan's house, Jiang Muxia rode at full speed towards Xiyan Village.

The Jiang family's yard was quiet. The weather was cold and everyone stayed indoors.

Jiang Muxia knew that there was no one at home to help her move the stove, so she tied the horse to the locust tree at the door, picked up the stove in one hand and the iron fire wall and snacks in the other and went into the yard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she started shouting, "Grandma, Grandpa, I'm back."

The door curtain of the main room was lifted as she shouted, and Qi came out with a smile on her face.

"Hey, my eldest granddaughter." Qi quickly stepped forward to take the fire wall from her hand and asked curiously, "What is this thing? It looks so weird."

"Grandma, I'll tell you when I install it."

Qi was the only one in the room. She breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't want to see Jiang Lingye's ugly face.

Jiang Muxia found a suitable location under the window on the west side of the main room, put a layer of bricks under the stove, put the stove on it, and connected the fire wall to the stove.

The only thing missing is a chimney.

Jiang Muxia measured the position and asked Qi, "Grandma, give me a hammer and a pointed iron rod."

Qi was suspicious, "What do you want these for?"

"Don't ask me. You'll know when I'm done."

The iron hammer was easy to find, but Qi couldn't find the pointed iron rod.

Jiang Muxia went to the utility room and searched for a long time before finding a narrower shovel. "This is it."

She put 80% of her strength on the shovel and hammered down again and again, making a small hole in the earth wall.

In less than half a minute, a round hole was made and Jiang Muxia stuffed the iron chimney into it.

After the stove fire wall was installed, half a basin of yellow mud was mixed and the joints were sealed.

I picked up some firewood and started to make a fire.

Qi stood by and watched her busying around, drilling holes and touching the seams. She realized that the maid was afraid that they would be cold, so she wanted to light a stove in their room to keep them warm.

She couldn't understand what the tin box was used for.

The stove burned for a quarter of an hour and the room became warm.

"It's done." Jiang Muxia washed her hands in the basin at the door. "Grandma, we'll use this in the winter to keep the house warm as spring."

"My Mu Xia is such a filial child. I'll go call your grandfather back and make him happy too." Qi happily ran out to find Jiang Lingye.

Jiang Muxia did not stop her. Her purpose of coming back was to solve the problem in front of Jiang Lingye.

The light in the room gradually brightened.

Jiang Lingye's dissatisfied voice reached her ears in the yard, "What's the big deal that requires me to come back? If the little girl comes back, she can come back. Do you think I, as a grandfather, should be grateful and welcome her?"

Then there was the sound of Qi complaining about his ugly words...

Jiang Muxia curled the corners of her lips and said, "Do you think I am willing to return to this inhumane home?"

The door curtain was lifted and Jiang Lingye came in, followed closely by Qi and Zhou Huaihua, who looked as if he was watching a joke.

"Grandpa." Jiang Muxia stood up with a smile. "My father asked me to come back and install the stove that everyone in the city uses for you, and give you the wages he has earned over the days." She took out a small purse and handed it to Jiang Lingye with both hands.

Jiang Lingye didn't answer it. "Leave it to your grandma."

Qi happily took it. She opened her purse and her eyes lit up. "In less than ten days, I have earned one or two taels of silver."

Jiang Lingye's expression eased a lot, "The room is a lot warmer, is it just one person?"

Jiang Muxia sneered. Is he dissatisfied because he didn't get one for his eldest son?

"Grandpa, this kind of stove is new in the city, and many people line up to buy one. My father asked someone to beg for a long time before he gave me one. He was worried that you two would be cold, so he begged the head of the family to give me half a day off and let me send it back. I have to hurry back, otherwise all my wages for today will be deducted."

"Oh," Qi said hurriedly, "Child, go back quickly. Everything is fine at home. Tell your parents not to worry about us."

"The third brother's family all went to the city to enjoy a good life, and they only put a stove at home. They are really filial." Zhou Huaihua said sourly.
