After Auntie Wu walked away, someone started to comfort her.

“It’s fine. Auntie Wu is like this. She likes to take advantage of others and is not very clean. In the future, if you see her, stay away from her. She’s very vengeful.”

Wang Cuizhi did not take her to heart at all. She only looked at their concerned expressions and nodded.

She picked up the broom and swept the courtyard, but she was still thinking about telling Zhao Yan about this.

One had to be wary of others.

Even in the countryside, there would still be some scheming.

In the past, she was the one who protected the empress in the palace. She was not afraid of these things at all.

However, Zhao Yan was still a child.

By evening, the help had left. She took a closer look at the house.

The house was basically finished, and the roof had been laid today. They could move in soon.

She looked around and was very satisfied.

She had enough money on hand, so she bought a large piece of land at the foot of the mountain. The villagers found it strange. Xu Fengqiao had also asked her why she bought such a big plot of land.

Although the land in Ancient Tree Village was not worth much, it still cost a lot of money.

Wang Cuizhi only smiled mysteriously and said that it was very useful for herself.

She went into the house and looked around all three rooms. The south-facing rooms had plenty of sunshine and were warm in winter.

The north-facing room was also cool in the summer.

She planned for herself and Zhao Yan to have their own rooms, and to put some things in the other room. Occasionally, she could even use it to entertain guests.

Further out, the central room was also very spacious and well lit.

Satisfied, she walked out and saw that the three children had returned from school.

She walked towards them happily, then squatted down and picked up Su Ling.

The little girl was small and smelled like milk.

She hugged her and refused to let go. She was about to say something when she saw her pointing at her yard, curious.

“Auntie, your courtyard is so big. Your house is also so big.”

Wang Cuizhi smiled very gently. “Auntie plans to raise some chickens in the courtyard. This way, there will be a lot of eggs. In the future, you can eat eggs every day.”

Su Ling was very excited when she heard this.

“Really? Can I really eat eggs every day?”

Xu Fengqiao walked out with a reproachful expression.

“Girl, how can you eat eggs every day? If you sell the eggs on the streets, you can buy a lot of things.”

Wang Cuizhi looked at the girl in her arms and smiled to comfort her.

“It’s fine. Auntie will leave one for little Su Ling every day. I guarantee that you can eat it every day, okay?”

Su Ling was overjoyed and kissed Wang Cuizhi on the cheek.

Xu Fengqiao looked at how close her daughter was to Wang Cuizhi and was a little jealous, but she still said.

“Cuizhi, don’t spoil her like this. When the time comes, she’ll be too pampered and delicate.”

Wang Cuizhi just looked at her and smiled. “It’s fine. This child and I hit it off. I like her very much. Besides, Girl has always been very obedient, right?”

Su Ling stuck out her head proudly in her arms. “That’s right, that’s right. I have always been very obedient. Mother is spouting nonsense.”

Xu Fengqiao looked at her fearless appearance and could not help but feel a headache.

At this moment, Su Changsheng also returned from the field. Everyone went to the kitchen and started dinner.

At the dining table, Su Changsheng asked Wang Cuizhi about the date of moving and agreed to help them move together.

Wang Cuizhi refused a few times, but in the end, she agreed.
