Although Liu Erxi was unwilling, he was ultimately the one who helped people build the house. His movements were nimble and quick. Before nightfall, he had already cleaned up Wen Xiu's only roof. He carefully climbed down the stairs and instructed Wenxiu to clean up the fallen straw in the yard before hurriedly running away.

Wenxiu wanted to ask him to stay for dinner, but she did not have the time to say anything. She could only swallow her words once they reached her mouth.

"Hey, why are you panicking? "He ran away without eating at all!"

Wenxiu muttered to herself for a while before returning to the kitchen to continue slicing the meat she had brought back from town. It was about two centimeters wide, small pieces at a time. There was less fat and more lean meat. For Red Braised Meat, she liked it the most.

In Wen Xiu's previous life, she had also suffered and had starved before. However, she did not like eating fat. She preferred lean meat. If it wasn't for Song Xiaoyue telling her that the fat meat could be cooked with oil and fried vegetables, she wouldn't want to have even a little bit of it!

As night fell, the fragrance of meat wafted out from the kitchen of Wen Xiu's house. The dogs of the neighboring families were barking greedily. Especially those from the Fang family, their howls were the loudest.

Previously, his family was extremely poor, and he didn't have any ingredients. Fortunately, she had bought some fennel and star anise from the grocery store, and now she put two of them in the pot. The meat had absorbed the flavour of the seasoning, and the smell was indescribable. Even the tree had come back with the Tong Tong and smelled the fragrance, then directly ran into the kitchen.

The two little fellows had grown up, and apart from the meat buns they had eaten in the afternoon, they had never tasted pork before. He had tasted some wild game before, but the oily water from the wild food was not as good as the pigs that were raised at home. Just the smell of the meat was enough to make him salivate.

Wen Xiu smiled as she placed the Red Braised Meat onto a plate before scrubbing the rice. By the time she'd cooked the rice, it was dark outside. She took out an oil lamp from a pile of odds and ends and lit it. The kitchen was instantly lit up. It was the first time the children saw an oil lamp. They danced and sang around it in great delight.

"Aiyo, my brain, how did I forget …" Wenxiu snapped out of her daze. Remembering that she had yet to return to the Fang family on the stairs, she smacked her forehead and walked out of the kitchen. Then, she carefully instructed Tree to keep an eye on her younger sister and that she would be back soon.

When Wen Xiu carried the stairs to the Fang family's courtyard, Mrs Fang had already stretched her neck out several times to look at her!

When Lady Fang saw her return the items, she let out a sigh of relief. She took the stairs and said unhappily, "I thought you wouldn't be able to change it back. My stairs are made of fine wood. A single staircase is worth a lot of silver …"

Wenxiu had forgotten to return it herself, so she couldn't blame Lady Fang for her slurping her lips as she laughed and echoed the Fang family's words. When Lady Fang saw that she had her way, her heart felt a bit more at ease.

Mrs Fang put down the stairs and turned to see Wen Xiu walking to the entrance of the courtyard. She shouted, "Wen Xiu, you are not kind at all. Li Zheng said, your silver isn't for selling herbs. You made so much money, why don't you tell everyone and lie to everyone? Really, your conscience is too bad. "

Hm?

Wenxiu was a little curious about the other lie Liu Da He had concocted. She stopped and turned around with a smile, following Lady Fang's words and saying, "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? How am I such an unkind person?" I've also just heard that rumor and it was Mistress Yue who overheard it. That's why I spread it wrongly. "

At this time, he could only let Song Xiaoyue suffer!

Lady Fang also understood Wen Xiu. If she had earned so much money for nothing, she would have concealed it. She was not like Wen Xiu, who was a nouveau riche, who would carry money to the town to buy and buy for nothing, attracting the jealousy of so many people.

"You … the silver you picked up is yours, why are you giving it to the Wang family?" "Look at her, she got the silver and started spouting nonsense. She even made Li Zhengzheng come forward to explain himself, causing everyone to go crazy and enter the mountain …" The Fang family's Patriarch had a face full of schadenfreude. Presumably, she wasn't among the crowd that had entered the mountain.

However, Lady Fang's words made Wenxiu depressed. Was Song Xiaoyue being a little too much of a scapegoat? He really was a bit unkind. But what did the Fang family just say? The silver she picked up? Liu Da He actually went to tell the villagers that she had picked up her silver?

Seriously, you really know how to lie!

In a secluded place in the mountains, every single clan was clinking noisily. Who had nothing better to do than to run around with a huge sum of money and still end up losing it? This lie was even more unreliable than the herbs she was making up!

Wen Xiu didn't want to hear any more of the Fang family's nagging. She made an excuse saying that her child was afraid of the dark, and then hurriedly left the Fang family.

Lady Fang watched her back as it disappeared into the night. She grunted, pursed her lips, and muttered, "I picked up some silver. Hmph! Why did you buy something so brazenly today? Why did you get called over tomorrow?" "When that happens, let's see what you can take out and give it back to them."

"Mom, I want to pee!"

"He's coming!"

Lady Fang was about to say a few more words when her son called out for her to pee. She couldn't help but to close the courtyard door with a "bang" and hurriedly enter the house.

When Wenxiu returned home, it was already dark and the rice was already cooked. She scooped up the rice in a newly bought bowl and placed the oil lamp on the table. The three of them then happily surrounded the table to eat.

This was the most memorable meal ever. Many years later, whenever Wenxiu thought of the most difficult days, her eyes would fill with tears.

It was the first time the children had eaten meat, and it was also the first time Wenxiu had eaten meat. It was the first time the children had eaten meat, and it was also the first time Wenxiu had eaten meat.

When they were full, they got tired. This was an unchangeable rule in history. The children ate and drank to their heart's content. After a simple wash, they climbed onto the brick bed and fell asleep. The roof had been tidied up today, so even if it rained tonight, there was no need to worry about the rain leaking.

Wenxiu cleaned up the kitchen and boiled some hot water for a bath. While it was still dark, she took a bath in her yard, closed the door, climbed onto the brick bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

However, she didn't know that the entire process of her bath had been secretly observed by others. She also would never have thought that she, who had once watched a beautiful man bathe in the river for thirty years and thirty years, would also be spied on.

Li Jun sat on the roof. Even after Wenxiu had showered and entered the room, he did not leave. There was no rain at night, but his clothes were soaked with dew. His handsome face was cold and dark, and the evil aura surrounding him seemed to want to devour everything in his surroundings.

This woman was bathing in the yard naked!

Li Jun watched the entire process of Wenxiu's shower with rapt attention. He cursed in his heart, yet he did not dare to leave. What if a thief were to enter the house? Zeng Yi and Tang Yuan had reported everything that had happened in the day to him.

Li Lu, hehe …

Oh, oh, oh, oh ~ ~

The sky in the east turned white as the village roosters began to crow one by one. The people on the rooftops slowly opened their eyes and stood up.
