Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 36 Construction begins

Xiao Wan and her father drove the donkey cart slowly towards home. Because the female donkey drank the spiritual spring water given by Xiao Wan, it was extremely obedient and could move forward on its own without being driven too hard. Xiao's father was amazed.

The father and son rushed back to the village and naturally attracted the attention of the villagers. Xiao Zhengping and Xiao Yuer were so happy that they jumped around the donkey cart.

Of course, there were also those who were jealous, such as Li Chunhua, who was staring at the donkey cart with her eyes. Seeing Wang looking at the door, she ran over and whispered to Wang, but no one knew what they were talking about.

Wang didn't dare to throw a tantrum these past two days because she was frightened by Uncle Xiao's attitude that night. Uncle Xiao was very cold to Wang. He would eat on time and go to work in the fields when he had nothing to do.

Wang just wanted to say a few more words, but Xiao Dacheng dismissed her with a single sentence, "You decide."

Wang wanted to get angry, but she didn't dare and could only hold her breath.

Xiao Wan didn't care about the villagers' opinions. If that was the case, her family would not be able to survive.

Old Man Xiao and the head of the village asked someone to choose a time, and they would officially start work the day after tomorrow after setting off firecrackers.

On the day of the groundbreaking ceremony, the villagers who helped build the workshop arrived one after another, and everyone worked efficiently. After all, everyone cherished this hard-won opportunity. Not only did they make a lot of money, but it was also close to home, so they could take care of their families at any time if anything happened.

Uncle Liu Yanqing arrived early in the morning before daybreak, and the distressed Liu quickly made a bowl of shredded pork noodles for his brother. Uncle Xiao also came to help prepare for the groundbreaking ceremony.

Zhao Mingyuan also came over to help with the moving. Xiao Wan hadn't seen him for several days and was a little worried about him. Thinking that Fu's health had improved a lot, she planned to cook a few more meals for her.

Uncle Xiao also came, and Xiao Wan greeted him warmly. Seeing Xiao Wan being so warm and well-behaved, and getting close to him, Xiao Dacheng felt even more sad when he thought of Wang's previous plan.

He just said hello and joined in the construction of the workshop, working very hard. Xiao Wan thought that they would pay the wages to her uncle together in the end, so as not to let her uncle suffer any loss.

When Grandpa Xiao saw his brothers working together again, he nodded with satisfaction and went home with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Xiao Wan remembered the things she had bought for Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao, and told Liu that she was going to send them to the two elderly people.

After hearing this, Liu also took out the new clothes she had made for Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao, packed them in a bag, and went to her uncle's house together.

When Wang saw them, she nodded lightly and went into the house. Xiao Wan and Liu didn't care and went straight into the house to find Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao.

Xiao Wan came up to Grandpa Xiao, smiled and took out the pipe she bought for Grandpa Xiao, and handed it to Grandpa Xiao as a treasure.

She had heard from her father before that Grandpa Xiao smoked, but tobacco was not that cheap, so he rarely smoked.

Xiao Wan kept it in mind, and this time when she went to town, she bought two pounds of tobacco and a pipe for her grandfather, and also bought two pounds of high-quality white wine for her grandfather to try.

Grandpa Xiao took the things, his beard trembling with laughter, and he felt very happy. Mrs. Liu also smiled and took out the clothes she had made for the two old people. Mrs. Liu also embroidered a simple pattern of happiness and longevity on Grandma Xiao's clothes.

This made the two old people very happy. Grandma Xiao loved the new clothes very much and kept praising Liu's craftsmanship. Liu helped Grandma Xiao put them on and try them on. Grandma Xiao said "you are just wasting money", but she felt very happy in her heart.

As for the elderly, when they are old, they just want their children and grandchildren to remember them and be filial to them, so that they don’t have to worry about trivial things.

After Liu and Xiao Wan left, Wang came out of the house and looked at their backs with a twisted and jealous expression on her face.

Xiao Wan didn't know all this. Her house also needed to be rebuilt, so they had to move out first. Old Man Xiao found the head of the village and spent five hundred coins to rent an uninhabited house in the village to live in temporarily.

The village head readily agreed and found an old house for the Xiao family. It was an old house where an elderly couple had passed away and had no children. After the village sent them away, they took back the house.

Xiao Wan's family moved out immediately. When the construction started, the family stood in front of their dilapidated earthen house, and then it was demolished. They felt very sad, but it was always a good thing to be able to move forward.

After moving, Liu and her family hurriedly packed up. Although they were just staying temporarily, they had to live in a clean place to feel comfortable.

After Xiao Wan finished her work, she wanted to go into the space to take a look, but her family was there, so she had no choice but to go out on the pretext of something and head up the mountain.

The scenery on the mountain was quite nice. Xiao Wan walked slowly while enjoying the scenery, preparing to find a suitable time to enter the space and take a look.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from deep in the forest. Xiao Wan was speechless. She thought, would she encounter a wild boar again? She was so lucky. But it didn’t matter this time, she had space to hide.

So Xiao Wan walked in boldly, wanting to see what it was.
