Early in the morning, Bai Qiyao and his wife went out to look at the four acres of land they had been allocated.
Originally, Madam Wang had planned to go and take a look by herself and let Bai Qiyao rest at home. His leg had not recovered yet.
Bai Qiyao insisted on going with her despite the pain. Madam Wang had no choice. She knew that he was anxious about his family's livelihood and would not feel at ease if he did not see it with his own eyes, so she did not stop him.
Because there was a wedding in the village, Uncle and Aunt had gone over to help. Only Grandpa and Grandma were at home with the three children.
Grandma wanted to do needlework and make some silk to supplement the family. Bai Ling 'er wanted to help, but her grandmother said that she had just recovered and wanted her to rest more.
Bai Ming 'er didn't have milk to drink, so she could only feed her with rice soup.
Bai Ling 'er and her sister had been playing with Bai Ming' er ever since they had breakfast.
Fortunately, Bai Ming 'er was very obedient. She didn't cry or make a fuss. She would smile at anyone who teased her. She was very likable.
Bai Ling 'er couldn't be happier when she saw that he had completely recovered.
Not only was she happy to cure Bai Ming 'er, but she was also happy that Bai Qiyao's leg could be cured and she could use the spring water to save more people.
With the spirit spring space, good days would not be far away.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that the heavens were indeed looking out for women who had transmigrated. Although she was almost sold as a child bride to be buried with her, fortunately, her parents were understanding people and loved her very much. Now that the top-grade family had separated and had the spiritual spring space, the future was really something to look forward to.
At noon, Bai Qiyao brought the Wang family back with a smile on his face.
Madam Wang cooked with her aunt, and Bai Qiyao told his grandmother and uncle about the four acres of land.
"It seems that father still remembers us. Those four mu of land are indeed fertile fields. With these four mu of fertile fields, our family's days will not be without hope.”Bai Qiyao couldn't help but smile when he thought that his father hadn't mistreated him after all. With four acres of land, his family would definitely be able to eat and wear warm clothes as long as they worked hard.
When Bai Ling 'er's grandmother, Wang Li, heard him say that the land was fertile, she was slightly relieved. Although four acres of land was a little small, as long as it was fertile land, there would be a lot of harvest in a year. This family could still make do with it.
Thinking of this, he also smiled.
"That's right. In the future, Ling 'er and Bao' er will learn to do some needlework. If the family worked hard, they would definitely be well-fed.”
Bai Qiyao was even more satisfied when he heard his mother-in-law say that.
When they had just moved out of the house, they had felt bad. They had lived under the same roof with their parents for so many years. They were not used to suddenly having to live alone.
However, when he thought of his mother's dissatisfaction with his wife, and how the chief branch wanted to sell his daughter, he really went too far.
When his legs were healed, he was also a good worker. Every month, he could earn money to give to his parents. Now that he had injured his leg, he had to sell his daughter to treat his illness.
He was a man of indomitable spirit. If he could not protect his wife and daughter, how could he still have the face to live in this world?
In the future, their family would be self-sufficient. Even if they were a little bitter and tired, they would still be able to live a good life. Even if he broke his leg or was crippled, he could definitely support his wife and children.
It was just that the hatred she had for her father had lessened a lot. His father didn't agree to sell Ling 'er, and now he even gave such a fertile field to his family. This showed that he still loved him.
The younger brother of the Wang family, Wang An, was also happy for his sister's family. He was thinking more about how his sister would no longer have to suffer the oppression of her mother-in-law after they split up. He had wanted to go to the Bai family several times to complain about his sister's injustice, but he was stopped by his mother, Consort Wang.
If he could cause a ruckus once, the Bai family would not treat the Wang family better because of him. Instead, they would be more prejudiced against the Wang family because of him. She couldn't go to the Bai family every day to guard them, and she couldn't stop the Wang family and Bai Qiyao from living a good life just because her mother-in-law and sister-in-law weren't easy to get along with. After all, Bai Qiyao still cared about the Wang family.
Therefore, when Bai Qiyao and the others were separated, Wang An was happy for his sister and brother-in-law.
When he heard his mother talk about his sister's future, he also felt that he had a future ahead of him, so he smiled and nodded.
At this moment, Madam Wang entered the central room to set up the table. When she heard her mother's words, she was also filled with anticipation for the future and could not help but interrupt.
"The house that my father-in-law gave us is in the east of the village. Her husband said that he would go and take a look in the afternoon. After packing up, they would move over.”
The Wang family was very grateful for the warm hospitality they received from her family. She thought about how she was going to have her own house. Although it was said to be a thatched house, it was good as long as people could live in it.
Hearing Madam Wang's pleasant words, Wang An's expression turned a little ugly. Wang Li-shi's lips moved a few times. She wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, when she saw her daughter's happy expression, she did not say anything.
Even Grandfather Wang, who had always been very serious and silent, frowned.
Madam Wang didn't care if someone was talking to her, she turned around and went down to serve the dishes.
Bai Qiyao noticed the unnatural behavior of Wang Li and Wang An, and he began to mutter in his heart. However, he didn't think too much about it. He thought that his parents-in-law were dissatisfied with the Bai family and wanted to say something but were too embarrassed to say it in front of him.
The table was set and the food was served. Because of Bai Qiyao's family, Grandma Wang Lishi asked her aunt to kill a chicken and take out dried mushrooms for winter.
Bai Ling 'er and her sister had smelled the fragrance long ago. Bai Bao' er was holding Little Ming 'er and drooling at the side.
Seeing her two granddaughters 'gluttonous behavior, Madam Wang smiled lovingly and called the two sisters over for dinner.
Because Bai Ming 'er couldn't eat rice, his aunt specially prepared rice paste. Bai Ling 'er added two drops of spring water into the rice paste and requested to feed Bai Ming' er herself.
The whole family thought that Bai Linger was sensible and knew how to take care of her brother at such a young age.
Of course, Bai Ling 'er didn't want to play around. She was focused on upgrading the Spatial Spirit Spring so that her parents and siblings could live a good life.
Besides, she was not Bai Ling 'er, and she was too old to play around.
Bai Ming 'er didn't have any milk to drink, but she was very obedient. She would eat whatever she was fed and didn't cry or make a fuss. Taking care of Bai Ming 'er wasn't that difficult. Bai Ling' er could handle it herself.
In the afternoon, Bai Qiyao decided to look at houses. Bai Ling 'er and Bai Bao' er followed him, while Bai Ming 'er was left in the care of her grandmother, Wang Li.
Bai Qiyao and his wife were assigned to the village where the Wang family lived. This village was called Wang Family Village. Most of the people living in the village were surnamed Wang, and they were all related to their mother-in-law's family. The few people with other surnames had lived here for many years, so they were no strangers to the Wang family.
Walking in the village, neighbors kept greeting the Wang couple. However, when they heard that they were going to the east of the village to see the Bai family's house, they wanted to say something but hesitated.
At first, Bai Qiyao and his wife thought that it was their first time living here, so the villagers couldn't be too enthusiastic.
However, they soon understood why the villagers looked at them with sympathy.
It was indeed a thatched hut, but where was the roof? Those few pieces of grass scattered on the roof were the legendary roofs!
A man like Bai Qiyao had to bend down to enter the low thatched hut, and the walls on both sides had collapsed.
Because the roof was mostly broken, the inside of the house had become a reservoir. The summer rain accumulated in the house, making it a puddle.
There were no fences around the courtyard, and the entire place was filled with weeds. Only three willow trees were growing well.
Seeing such a scene, Bai Qiyao and his wife couldn't have any more fantasies.
Bai Bao 'er was still young, and she couldn't keep her mouth shut when she saw the horrible sight of her new home.
"Father, this is not a house. Why did Master let us live in such a house? Even Uncle's dog lives better than ours.”
These words pierced Bai Qiyao's heart. How uncomfortable would it be to be called worse than a dog by his daughter?
If he hadn't seen the fertile fields in the morning, he might not have had such high expectations for the house. Now that he had seen the main body, all his hopes had been dashed. He had really fallen from heaven to hell.
Bai Qiyao finally understood what was going on when he thought of his wife mentioning the house during dinner and how his parents-in-law and brother-in-law looked.
As soon as Bai Bao 'er said that, Madam Wang covered her mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense, Bao 'er. This yard looks like an acre of land. We can plant a lot of vegetables if we tidy it up. Bao 'er likes to eat chives, so we'll plant a piece in the yard. If we cut it today, it'll grow tomorrow. Bao' er can eat chives every day.”
Although Madam Wang was also complaining about being allocated such a house that could not be lived in, she still wanted to comfort her husband.
Bai Bao 'er saw that her father's expression wasn't right, and she heard from her mother that she could eat chives every day in the future. Thinking about the fragrant chives and scrambled eggs, she forgot about the house.
Bai Ling 'er's mouth twitched. She knew that Luo Shi would do such a thing. She didn't have much hope for the house, but the real scene was still very different from what she had imagined!
"Dad, let's tear down this house and flip it over to make a new one. If it was a thatched hut that did not leak, you would not be able to raise your head in such a low place. This was just right. He did not have to endure the pain.”
Bai Ling 'er comforted Bai Qiyao. She thought the same thing. If this house did not leak, it would definitely be uncomfortable to live in such a low place. However, in order to save money, the family would definitely endure it.
It was completely uninhabitable now, so he might as well flip it over.
Bai Qiyao felt even worse. How could his family have the money to build a house?
"Sister, are we going to build a new house? Then can I have a room? Sister Ke 'er has her own room, so I want one too.”Bai Bao 'er still didn't quite understand the embarrassment of not having enough money at home. The first thing she thought of was to build a new house so that she could have her own room.
Her eldest uncle's eldest sister, Bai Keer, had her own room in the old mansion. Bai Bao 'er was very envious, but her eldest sister did not like her, and she was usually not even allowed to enter.
Therefore, she really wanted a room of her own. It had to be even more beautiful than Big Sister's. When the time came, she had to clean it up.
Bao 'er had a good plan, but she didn't notice that her parents' faces had turned even uglier.
Bai Ling 'er sighed. Bao' er's wish was so simple. Soon, she would give Bao 'er a room of her own.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 31PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
