The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

After a good night's sleep, everyone got up at the usual time the next day.

Liu Yue went to the kitchen to prepare some honey water for everyone to drink. Breakfast was also relatively light, after all, everyone had drunk some wine last night.

After breakfast, Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi went to find Yun Huo to discuss the reconstruction of the house.

"That's what I was thinking. Although the current house can accommodate everyone, when we were in Yunmu Village, each of us had our own room, which was more spacious and comfortable. It's not too late to expand it now, so we can move into the new house before winter comes."

Yunhuo is also discussing expansion.

“Uncle Yun, how is the insulation of the old house?

It's okay in summer now, but the winter here is extremely cold, much lower than in the south. Have you considered renovating the old house?"

Fu Yunxi asked Yunhuo for his opinion. The brothers in Yunmu Village might not care much about their residence, but this year the weather is extremely cold, so they still need to pay attention to it.

“The old house is warm enough, but it is indeed a bit old, so it is appropriate to take this opportunity to renovate it.

There happened to be brothers in Yunmuzhai who used to be carpenters and bricklayers. They said that as long as all the materials were available and everyone worked together, the building could be completed in as little as one month.

Yunhuo was somewhat tempted. Since they were going to build it, they might as well renovate the entire house. Otherwise, some people would live in the new house and some would live in the old one. However, his current concern was the problem of building materials.

"The materials are easy. We will go to the county to buy them tomorrow. If we can't find them, we can just go to the county magistrate. He should have the channels. As for manpower, we can hire the men in the village and pay them."

Isn't it time to put Mr. Hong's building materials warehouse in the space to good use? With so much wood and bricks, it must be more than enough to build several houses.

"That's right. The county magistrate should have a way. I'll bring a few people with you tomorrow and we can discuss the wages."

"No need, Uncle Yun, you can discuss the structure of the house with the brothers who will be building it. We will go to the county town tomorrow to try to get the building materials back. The sooner we start the work, the sooner we can finish it."

Mu Yibai declined politely. He knew that Fu Yunxi's intention was to use the materials in the space, which could not be exposed for the time being.

"Okay, do you have any ideas for the design of the house? We can discuss it together later."

"Well! We will go to the village head later to discuss hiring people, and then ask if there is anyone in the village who can build a house."

It does take some effort to design a house, at least to ensure safety and warmth!

"Master, Master's Wife, Uncle Yun, what are you talking about?"

After lunch, Chen Jianzhong and Wang Ling went to find Mu Yibai, but Mu Yiheng told them that Mu Yibai and his wife were at Uncle Yun's house.

"You came just in time. We are discussing rebuilding our house. Judging from the situation this year, the winter temperature may be abnormal. Besides, we will be living here for a long time in the future. It would be better to build a new house so that we can live more comfortably."

Fu Yunxi thought that they came at the right time, so there was no need to go look for them alone!

"Renovating the house is indeed a good idea. My grandparents suffer from leg pain every winter. I wonder if they can withstand the cold wind in the northern winter."

Chen Jianzhong expressed his concerns. To be honest, although the house looked dilapidated, it was still habitable. However, Mr. Chen and his wife were not as strong as before, and they would definitely suffer in the winter.

"I feel the same way. Yan'er has been traveling all the way and hasn't had a good rest. I'm afraid she'll get sick. But can the house be built before winter comes?"

Wang Ling also agreed to renovate the house, but the manpower and material resources needed to be carefully planned.

"Xi'er and I plan to go to the town or county to buy building materials. As for workers, we will ask the village head if there are any men in the village willing to help. We will pay them."

Mu Yibai understood Wang Ling’s concerns, but these were not a problem at the moment.

"Okay, then I'll just take charge and renovate the house. The cost of materials and labor can be negotiated."

"Master, Master's Wife, I will discuss this with my family later. It is likely that we will have to flip the roof."

As the eldest grandson, Wang Ling can make decisions for the Wang family, but Chen Jianzhong cannot. He still needs to respect the opinions of his elders, but he thinks his family should not object.

"Well! Don't worry, you can discuss it first, and then start the work after the drawings are finalized tomorrow."

Mu Yibai made the final decision that they needed to negotiate the building materials and workers first before the subsequent progress could be smooth.

When Mu Yibai and the others arrived at the door of Mo Lizheng's house, they found that many people had gathered in the house, and it seemed that the village chief was holding a meeting.

Just as they were about to leave, the village head stopped them.

"Yibai, wife Yibai, come in! What do you want from me?"

"Yes, we do have something to discuss with you, but we didn't expect you to be busy. We'll come back later."

Fu Yunxi didn't expect that the village head would stop them, and his attitude was so enthusiastic.

"It's okay. These are all villagers from Mo Village. You can just come over and get to know them."

"Hello everyone, we are the Mu family who just arrived at Mojia Village yesterday. We hope to live in harmony with everyone in the future."

Fu Yunxi was shocked by this scene. Why did it feel like not only the head of the village suddenly became enthusiastic towards them, but the villagers were also looking at them with smiles on their faces?

"I'm Mu Yibai, and this is my wife Fu Yunxi. We will settle down in Mojia Village in the future. I hope we can live in harmony with everyone."

Mu Yibai pulled Fu Yunxi behind him because several women were staring at her with too intense eyes.

"So you are the heroes who caught those beasts of the Ma Yun Gang! From now on, we are all from the same village, no longer strangers. If you need any help, just ask."

"Look at this girl from the capital. She is so different. She is so pretty. She is really a beauty."

"That's right! Look at her figure and temperament. You can tell at a glance that she is not an ordinary woman."

Several women in the front rushed forward, surrounded Fu Yunxi, asked her all kinds of questions, and praised her highly, as if she was a rare person in the world.

At this moment, Fu Yunxi and Mu Yibai finally understood why the people of Mo Village were acting so abnormally today. It turned out that the news of their extermination of the Ma Yun Gang bandits outside the city had spread.

The Ma Yun Gang has been a scourge to the people here for a long time, and everyone must hate them. Now that they can get rid of their clutches, everyone is naturally excited.

"We saw that the Ma Yun Gang was too abominable and chose to live and work here, so we dealt with them."

"I came to the village head today to ask for an important favor. We are new to this place and would like to rebuild our house while the weather is warm. I wonder if there are any craftsmen or workers who can build houses in our village, such as bricklayers or carpenters, or laborers who can help. We will pay them. Since all the uncles and aunts are here, please help us arrange it."

Fu Yunxi explained her purpose. She did not deny the destruction of the Ma Yun Gang. Firstly, it was indeed done by them. Secondly, she felt that the villagers of Mojia Village were very friendly and hoped that they could live in harmony with each other. After all, they would meet each other in the future.
