This brat, how could he say such a thing in front of Yun Daman?
Even if he wanted to marry Little Sweet Treasure, he had to speak to her parents first.
How could Yun Daman make such a decision?
Fu Xiaoqiang ran away holding his head, feeling that his father was unreliable...
To please Sweet Baby, one had to be diligent and thick-skinned.
For example, starting by helping them move.
"Dad, I've agreed with Daqiang, we'll temporarily stay at their house!"
Yun Daman said with a smile.
Although it was a bit crowded, at least they wouldn't have to sleep in the open...
Gu Shi said, "Then we'll stay at home for one more night, and move over tomorrow morning!"
After speaking, she called Yun Erman over, opened the money bag, and picked out a few pieces of silver.
"Take this. You'll be running errands these days. When we get to Daqiang's house, we can't just eat their food for free. We'll buy the food and meat and vegetables in advance and send them to Daqiang's house..."
Gu Shi was not someone who liked to take advantage of small things.
She knew that eating someone's food made one's mouth short, and taking someone's things made one's hands soft.
Sometimes, one couldn't abandon their principles for a small gain.
Daman and Erman took the silver, "We know, Mother!"
"Also, don't let Jinshan and Jinhe return to the village recently. We'll talk about it after we finish building the house!"
Fu Daqiang's house only had east and west side rooms. Fortunately, the two large kang beds were enough to squeeze in and sleep for now...
But men and women absolutely could not squeeze together.
Old Man Yun slept on one kang bed with Daman and Erman.
Gu Shi slept in another room with her daughter, two daughters-in-law, and Huaihua and Xi'er.
Little Xi Tian stood outside the adjacent large house and peeked inside through the crack in the door.
How strange, it seemed like no one was here.
Where did Grandma Jin and Brother Kong go?
Didn't they know that the mountainside was going to collapse?
"Knock, knock, knock!" Little Xi Tian knocked on the courtyard gate.
A moment later, the little maid Ru Yue pushed open the door and looked outside.
"Oh, it's Sweet Baby!" Ru Yue squatted down and pinched Little Xi Tian's cheek.
"Is Xiao Jin Heng here?" Little Xi Tian asked.
Ru Yue nodded, "Young Master has caught a cold these past few days and has been half-asleep. Does Sweet Baby want to go see him?"
She knew that the little girl next door had a kind of magic about her...
Every time her young master had a fever, as long as she appeared, he would get better.
"Okay!" Little Xi Tian stepped over the threshold.
For the sake of the brat helping her last time, Little Xi Tian decided to go see him.
In the bedroom, Xiao Jin Heng sat at the desk, looking down at a book.
Seeing Little Xi Tian walk in, his eyes lit up, then dimmed again, "Little village girl, why are you here?"
Why did you take so long?
Little Xi Tian didn't answer him, but instead took small steps to stand in front of Xiao Jin Heng.
Then she reached out her small hand and touched his forehead, "You don't have a fever!"
Looking at his refreshed appearance, he didn't look sick at all...
Xiao Jin Heng closed his book and frowned slightly, "If I don't get sick, will you never come to see me?"
This dead girl, she didn't know how to care for people at all.
"No, it's been raining a lot lately, and Mom doesn't let me run around!"
Little Xi Tian fiddled with her fingers, her bright eyes blinking, "Also, don't you know the mountainside is going to collapse? It's very dangerous!"
The brat looked calm, as if he wasn't afraid at all...
This made Little Xi Tian a little confused.
Xiao Jin Heng shrugged, "Of course I know it's going to collapse!"
The reason he hadn't moved was that there was a large amount of agarwood stored in the warehouse.
These past few days, he had asked Kong Xingzhuo to transport this wood away overnight...
Only after everything was properly handled could he move out with peace of mind.
"Aren't you afraid of being buried alive?" Little Xi Tian asked again.
This matter was no trivial matter, and one could not joke with their life.
Xiao Jin Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
He had also noticed the dilapidated temple at the east end of the village.
Moreover, Xiao Jin Heng had his own plans...
Now that the flood had receded, it was time to consider building houses.
"Are you hungry?" Xiao Jin Heng asked.
It just so happened that he hadn't eaten well these past few days. Since the little village girl had come, he would have her eat together!
"I'm not hungry, I want to lose weight!" Little Xi Tian shook her little head.
She realized she had gained weight recently...
Her small arms and legs seemed to have gotten thicker.
Although her family didn't have big fish and meat every meal, her constitution was prone to gaining weight, and she would easily gain fat if she ate too much.
Xiao Jin Heng was very curious about the word 'lose weight'.
But thinking of the little village girl's identity, he felt it was normal.
"No dieting!" Xiao Jin Heng said decisively.
He instructed the kitchen, "Go stew the fish, and add a lot of chili!"
Little Xi Tian: "..."
Alright, she shouldn't have come.
She was forced to eat fish by the brat, and she would gain another two pounds after going back.
That night, Kong Xingzhuo came to the Yun family.
"Master, Mistress, I heard you're moving out!" Kong Xingzhuo asked with a smile.
Gu Shi nodded, "Yes, Young Master Kong. You should move out quickly too, it's too dangerous here!"
Kong Xingzhuo smiled slightly.
He knew that the old Yun family was kind-hearted. He came this time because Xiao Jin Heng had asked him to convey his thoughts...
"Master, Mistress, my young master wants to tear down the dilapidated temple at the east end of the village and build two large houses there!"
"Our two families were neighbors before. Now that we are rebuilding, let's not be neighbors anymore."
His words were so confusing that Old Man Yun and Gu Shi didn't understand.
There was no need to tell them specifically not to be neighbors...
It didn't matter whether they were neighbors or not.
Kong Xingzhuo paused and continued, "My master means that we should live together directly, so it will be livelier!"
"Live together?" Old Man Yun raised his eyebrows.
What was going on?
Why would they live together?
Their family had no relation to Young Master Xiao, so what was the point of living together?
Kong Xingzhuo seemed to see the concerns of the elders and patiently explained, "Actually, it's just building two large courtyards at once, with no wall in between!"
"Your house is still your house, we won't interfere..."
"And my young master said that he will pay for the money to build your house!"
Gu Shi listened and firmly disagreed.
How could she let others build houses for free?
Moreover, judging by the young master's attire and demeanor, and his decisiveness in punishing the county magistrate that day, he was definitely not from an ordinary family...
Could the courtyards he built be bad?
"No, we can build the house ourselves, so we won't trouble Young Master Xiao!" Gu Shi refused.
Kong Xingzhuo put down his teacup and stood up, "Even if Mistress disagrees, my master will still build two courtyards. You can just move in then!"
Gu Shi and Old Man Yun exchanged a glance and looked back at their daughter who was drawing.
This time, they were benefiting from their daughter's good fortune again?
Young Master Xiao was always very good to their daughter, and the elders saw it all.
This time, Young Master Xiao was probably coming for Little Xi Tian...
