Linn Helin's one tael of silver allowed him and Xiu Er to live in the village for a few days before they were defeated.

In the past few days, Liulang had led his brothers to build the new house.

On the day that Shan Cao finished her work, Hemai saw Ma Er picking a bunch of flowers from an unknown place and weaving a crown for Shan Cao. When Shan Cao took the crown, her mouth was so wide that her ears were popping out.

This guy, he's bickering and trying to get a relationship out of him?

Hemai thought that if the two of them could succeed, it would be a good marriage.

Seeing that the new house was up, Hemai had already started to move Madam Qin's things in the Mao Courtyard towards his house.

Actually, there was nothing much to take, just some needlework clothes. The leftover pots, pans, bedding, luggage, etc., were all left to Helin and Xiu Er.

However, with Xiu Er's lazy personality, even if these things were left in the Mao Courtyard, it was likely that Helin would still be the one to clean them up.

With all the silver in his possession gone, Linn Helin brought the reluctant Xiu Er back to the Xiaoqing Village and placed him in the small cottage that Madam Qin used to live in.

Except for the raw rice and water, everything else was ready.

Linn Helin didn't have to do anything else every day. He could only wander in front of the stove to study how to live a warm meal. His white face was always pitch black.

Hemai was angry at his silly look of him being tricked into asking for help, and ignored him, while Madam Qin knew that she gave Helin a tael of silver but was defeated by Helin, and was sullen for a few days, deliberately leaving Linn Helin out.

But when Xiu Er told him to head east, he would never look west. When Xiu Er told him to go to the river to draw water, he would never place a bucket of water in the well.

Every time she spent money on Linn Helin, Xiu Er would brazenly go to Xu Jiang's house on the other side of the mountain.

The passionate steps and the passionate and charming face made people feel embarrassed.

Xiu Er openly green hat for her man right under Helin's nose, but unfortunately, Linn Helin didn't notice it at all.

When Xiu Er left home, she brought a bucket of water back to the courtyard.

Although he was a man, his strength was far inferior to Hemai's. The two pails of water made him tired to the point of gasping for breath, he didn't dare delay any further after entering the house, so he quickly boiled the pails of water and came back later to help Xiu Er bathe.

Hemai and the Liulang, who happened to be here to deliver the steamed buns, saw him and immediately called for him to stop.

"It's fine if Xiu Er doesn't want to help you with your work, but aren't you worried about leaving the moment you're in the dark?" Hemai frowned and asked.

Helin wiped his sweat and took a deep breath, "What are you worried about? She didn't want to walk up the mountain! When he's full, she goes out to eat and drink. It's good. "

Hemai immediately felt speechless, waved her hand, and turned to leave, allowing Liulang to pass on to Helin what she said every night when she went to Xu Jiang's house.

He did not know what Liulang said to Helin in the house, but he came out in a short while, and shook his head helplessly at Hemai. It seemed like, not only did Hemai not believe what he said, but Helin did not believe it either.

Hemai walked out of Helin's hut and muttered to herself for a while before saying, "I keep having this nagging feeling that something is amiss. Last time, I didn't see Xiu Er at Doctor Xu's place, where do you think she can go? She's not a quiet person. "

Liulang could not think of a place Xiu Er could go so she said, "Be at ease. The brothers of the town have already inquired about Xiu Er's identity, I think there will be news about him in a few days. "

Hemai thoughtfully nodded her head, "Alright. Liulang, you go back first, I will take a walk around the village. "

"Then be careful." Liulang instructed.

Madam Qin was still staying at home. If the two of them were to return late, Madam Qin would definitely overthink things.

Only after seeing the Liulang turn around and walk back home did Hemai relax. She followed the western path and entered the village.

Looking at Xiaoqing Village, even though it was already late, there were no houses in the village with lanterns lit.

The poverty of the Xiaoqing Village was just like how it was when Hemai had just arrived. Every family's financial constraints would only be slightly improved during the autumn harvest, and it would continue to be so for the next year.

The majority of the people who lived in Xiaoqing Village worked in the countryside, so farmers often talked idly at home. The number of people who could walk out of the village on a daily basis were few and far between.

And there were very few who had been outside of the Clear River Town.

Yang Liulang had gone to the Clear River Town before, but he had never asked his about the specific things he had done.

Under the quiet and clear moonlight, Hemai slowly walked forward, her thoughts sometimes flying to the side of the Liulang, sometimes flying to Madam Qin's side.

She wanted to earn more silver — not by relying on the Liulang, but by relying on herself.

Although Xiaoqing Village was Madam Qin's hometown that she had lived in for her entire life, this place was after all, a remote village. If one wanted to buy some additional items, they would have to run to the Qinglu Village or wait until the market day to go to the town to purchase them.

She wanted to change to a larger house, where at least the family of three could live without worrying about the allocation of housing.

Not only was the house bigger, it was also better to be in a slightly bustling place. This way, it would be more convenient to purchase items or food for daily use.

If he wanted to live in such a place, he would have to spend a lot of money.

The silver coins that she and Liulang had probably couldn't even buy a single plot of land in this kind of house.

Thinking about it, Hemai slowly sighed, but she quickly pulled herself together - Then she would just have to earn the money, then struggle, at worst, she would just suffer!

He was born to suffer, and only after suffering will there be sweetness!

Hemai was pondering about her future plans when she suddenly met someone.

Xiu Er walked over from the direction of the Southern Forest with his head lowered.

When she saw an unmoving figure standing in the darkness and staring straight at her, Xiu Er was shocked.

When she saw that the figure was Hemai, she scolded him.

"Where did you go?" Hemai asked indifferently.

"What has it got to do with you? Are you asking for a scolding? " Xiu Er glared at her.

Hemai strolled in front of Xiu Er, who took a few steps back, "What, what are you trying to do?"

Xiu Er's eyes flashed with caution, as she looked at Hemai warily.

Hemai sneered, "What are you afraid of? If I want to hit you, do I need to find a place with no one to do so? "

She moved closer to Xiu Er, her eyes narrowed, "You just went to second uncle's house?"

Xiu Er was startled, and a hint of guilt surfaced on her face. Fortunately, the moonlight was still bright and no one could see the change in her expression.

"I didn't!" she said, craning her neck.

Hemai naturally did not believe him, and disdainfully glanced at her, then said indifferently: "So what if you've gone, what kind of people do you dare not admit to going? What did Second Aunt second uncle say to you? "

Her eyes were staring at Xiu Er, causing her lips to tremble, but she continued to bite the bullet, "Do you not understand? "I said I didn't go at all, you …"

"Don't not know what's good for you," Hemai's eyes flashed with a cold light, "What I said before was that you don't need to choose a place without people.
