"Mother, I'll say it one last time, my wife can only be Luo Manman, I don't want others, and there's also my matters, I hope that Mother won't worry about it."

Xiao Yiming sighed, then went to the front yard to work, the silver bills his wife had left him could not be touched, he had to think of a way to earn more so that he could raise enough money to find his wife.

Qiu Family

Auntie Qiu and Qiu Ju's mother were embroidering flowers in the house, and the two of them were chatting casually.

"Mother, why do you keep looking at the door? Are you waiting for someone? " Qiu Ju looked at the restless Auntie Qiu in her eyes and asked.

"Nothing." The corner of Auntie Qiu's mouth twitched as she concealed his thoughts. Seeing Madame Li knocking on her door, her elated face betrayed her thoughts.

She immediately opened the door to welcome him and asked, "Madame Li, how is it? How is the favor I've asked of you?"

Auntie Qiu was talking while stuffing coins into her pocket, when she heard Madame Li shouting: "Don't, Xiao Niang, you're too polite, I can't take it."

"What's wrong? From your tone, it doesn't sound like a good idea." Auntie Qiu's heart was clenching, she couldn't let go.

"Auntie Qiu, don't mention it, that Xiao Yiming has a really bad temper. I didn't even manage to say anything before I was kicked out of the room.

The Xiao family is currently very popular. Even the matchmakers from other families came and were also chased out. It was not that I didn't want to help you, it was just that there's nothing we could do. " Madame Li's face was filled with tears. She had never seen such a troublesome person before.

"About that, think of a way. The happiness of my daughter depends entirely on you …" Auntie Qiu had not finished speaking.

Qiu Ju had guessed the gist of it and immediately pulled on her sleeves and shouted: "Oh my god, Mother, you actually asked the matchmaker to go to the Xiao Family to matchmaking for your daughter. You, you, you, just let your daughter say whatever she wants to say to you.

"Damn child, what are you saying, isn't mother doing this all for you? Your heart is hanging on Xiao Yiming's shoulders, isn't it just helping you?"

Auntie Qiu's pair of tiny eyes darted around, as if she was calculating something.

"But didn't you say that you wouldn't agree? I really admire you. You had such an unpleasant time with the Xiao family, and you even sent yourself to someone else with such a hot face …"

Qiu Ju speechlessly rolled her eyes, she sat herself back onto the chair, and continued to work on her needle and thread, going back and forth.

She was a little angry, but seeing that Auntie Qiu was trying to curry favor with her, she immediately said: "Um, I'll be troubling you, Madame Li. This is the payment for your hard work, I can't let you come here for nothing."

He shoved a dozen coins into her pocket.

Only then did Madame Li's complexion turn slightly better. "Alright, Auntie Qiu, you guys go ahead. I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first."

"Sigh, take care." When Auntie Qiu had finished watching her, she turned around to see Qiu Ju scolding her: "Mother, you don't have to worry about me, don't worry about me, if not, your daughter will be angry."

"Fine, fine, fine. Our daughter has her own ideas. Mother, you don't have to meddle in other people's business, okay?"

When they heard that the Xiao family had a few hundred silver taels left behind by Luo Manman, once this wife leaves, whoever marries into the Xiao family would be able to enjoy life there already. Furthermore, their daughter likes Xiao Yiming so much.

Auntie Qiu looked at her daughter's pretty face and laughed.

Wuzhen

Under the blazing sun, a dozen or so workers were dismantling the walls, getting busy, and everything was going according to Luo Manman and the foreman's plan.

"Miss Luo, look at this blueprint, isn't it right? This is the main building." The foreman politely asked Luo Manman who was watching by the side.

The workers were half naked and half drenched in sweat, a few of the maidservants who passed by did not dare to look, they did not expect Luo Manman to be calm and composed, like there was nothing strange going on.

"Yes, that's right. The shape of this wall barrier is similar to what was drawn on the map."

The butler walked over, and after taking in the two people's serious expressions, he said:

"Hmph …" I don't know where this Stinky girl came from, but he's bold and shameless. Even if he has to deal with these workers every day, he wouldn't feel embarrassed. His skin is as thick as a city wall. "

The workers saw that the butler had arrived. They paused for a moment and then respectfully said, "Hello, butler …"

"En," the butler gave a light snort, straightened his back, and reprimanded him, "All of you have to move quickly. Time is of the essence, we have to finish this in the shortest possible time."

"It's the butler. The workers have been working very hard and I believe they will finish it within expectations." The foreman nodded and said.

The butler snorted lightly and walked away with his head held high.

The housekeeper didn't seem to like Miss Luo, but these workers all had very high opinions of her.

This was because not only did she have a unique insight into architecture, she did not put on airs and often worked alongside them without fear of filth or hardship.

Seeing that Luo Manman was still acting like a brick again, the foreman immediately went over to snatch the work in her hands, and said: "Miss Luo, let us men take these heavy jobs, you, a girl, don't have such strength."

Luo Manman saw that she did not have any work to do, and the sun was high in the sky, the workers had a cloth around their necks, and they could wipe the sweat off their foreheads from time to time.

"How about this, we've all been tired for the whole day, so we must be tired and thirsty. I'll go get some snacks and some water."

When the workers heard this, they all sent grateful looks and worked even harder.

Luo Manman quickly brought over a few big plates of snacks, a big kettle and a bowl, and told the workers to sit down and rest for a while.

The workers were satisfied with their snacks and water.

"Lady Luo is truly not bad. She is diligent, capable and intelligent. I wonder who will be able to marry Miss Luo in the future. That is truly a great fortune."

A young man bit on a cake, his eyes unblinkingly staring at Luo Manman who was busy pouring water for the workers, his face had a silly smile.

When the foreman at the side saw his infatuated expression, he knew that this kid's heart was moved. He could not help but ridicule:

"Oh, Tang Er, look at you, with that flustered look of yours, you must have fallen for that girl. If you like her, go ahead and say it, we will all support you."

The group of people started laughing, and the young man scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Don't spout nonsense, don't ruin the girl's reputation. I would like to say, but my family is poor, how could they be compatible with the girl? I don't want her to suffer."

"Oh, now my heart is in pain." The foreman suddenly opened his mouth, causing Tang Er to choke on his snacks. Cough!

"Are you a little better? Such a big person can choke on food, that's really something." The foreman patted him on the back to make him feel better.

"Big Brother Tang, are you choking on something? I still have some tea here. Come and drink some more. Smooth your throat." Luo Manman handed a bowl of water over to him. The dessert was a little dry, and it would be easy to choke if it was eaten anxiously.

Tang Er instantly felt like choking on anything was worth it. Was it because Luo Manman seemed to care about him a lot? He chuckled and a suspicious blush appeared on his face.

When Luo Manman had walked far away, the foreman finally pushed his arm against Tang Er and joked: "Still looking? "I've already left."

The two of them were joking, and did not realize that not far away was a person with a darkened face. This person was from Nanshan Village, and his name was Wang Daogu.

Although the place where he was standing was a little far from where Tang Er was standing, how could he not notice the deep feelings in the other's eyes?

Xiao Yiming, pitiful you, a wife who has seeded the entire world with love, yet your wife is being cared for by other men. If you don't hurry up, your wife will marry someone else.

He curled his lip and looked at Tang Er, and decided to shout out loud. "Are you still thinking about that lady? Don't you see that Miss Luo doesn't take you seriously at all? "

Wang Daogu wanted to stifle his thoughts, but seeing that the two were still discussing softly, he couldn't help but take his tea and pour some cold water on them.

Tang Er was still in high spirits, being splashed with cold water and immediately becoming displeased:

"What did you say?" I just like Miss Luo, what does that have to do with you? " Tang Er said as he stared at him. Could it be that this middle-aged man did not rush out in the middle of the road to snatch him away?

"Young man, don't think too much. Miss Luo is a man with a husband."

"What? This is impossible." Tang Er's eyes opened wide in disbelief.

How could a man with a husband let Miss Luo show her face in public? Maybe Wang Daogu meant that Miss Luo had been married before, but he wouldn't mind.

"Are you saying that Miss Luo has been married before? I don't mind. I just like her. I'm willing to wait." Tang Er said with a sweet smile.

Wang Daogu speechlessly rolled his eyes, patted his shoulder and said, "Foolish brat, are you still not awake? "Don't wait for our husband to come knocking on our door. There is not enough time to pick up the broken heart."

After saying that, he sighed and walked away.

Hearing these words, Luo Manman's face stiffened, she looked towards Tang Er and started to feel awkward.

It was no wonder that every time Tang Er saw her, he would bashfully and foolishly smile. It was because he had some thoughts towards her.

Tang Er was not bad, at the age of 17 or 18, he could endure hardships and had a simple and honest smile.

However, Luo Manman didn't feel anything from him, unlike the feeling of Xiao Yiming blushing and beating his heart. Even though she had left the Xiao family, she wouldn't casually find a man to live with.

Luo Manman saw that the workers had started to get busy again, she shook her head, she had really thought too much into it.

When Wang Daogu returned, he immediately told Xiao Yiming that Luo Manman was working in the Mo Residence. For Xiao Yiming, who had been yearning and tormenting him these past few days, it was like a rain meeting during a drought.

The next morning, Xiao Yiming hurriedly wrapped up Old Uncle Zhang's oxcart and rushed back to Wuzhen.

Xiao Yiming arrived at the main street of Wuzhen, and after stuffing a few copper coins in to pay the fare, he immediately walked over to the Mo Residence that Wang Daogu was talking about.
