Chapter 135 Choosing a Homestead
"Oh?"

Raising an eyebrow, Shen Xiangwan let go of the little cub, stepped forward to straighten his collar and teased, "Aren't you afraid of what I might do to you?"

"···"

Does he look like he's scared?

Wei Chengyi raised his hand and held hers, looking straight at her with his deep eyes: "Wanwan, we are husband and wife."

In other words, they can do whatever they want and there is nothing to be afraid of. The reason they endured it before was only because they were still in exile and did not want to let her down.

"That's right."

Shen Xiangwan nodded with a smile and pulled his hand back: "There are exactly two bedrooms upstairs, we can each have one."

"Late night."

Wei Chengyi couldn't help feeling a little depressed as his expectations were dashed, and his eyes dimmed a little.

"We will temporarily..."

"Second Master, lunch is ready."

Before Shen Xiangwan finished speaking, the guard's voice suddenly rang out. Considering that they had not eaten anything today and were indeed hungry, Shen Xiangwan could only give up for the time being and wait for a chance to explain to him later.

When the couple took the cub downstairs, Zhao Yuping and her two sons just came out of the room on the far left of the main house. After the family gathered together, they entered the main room one after another. The space was over 100 square meters, with a group of cabinets placed in the innermost part, and two landscape paintings hung on the walls on both sides. There was a large round table in the middle, and mahogany chairs were placed around it. Although it was a bit monotonous, it was sufficient for use. It was up to them how to decorate it in the future.

The guards quickly brought large plates of dishes to the table, including blanched lamb, stewed chicken, salted duck, braised fish, and stir-fried vegetables. It was a simple four meat dishes and one vegetable, but each dish was very large in portion and almost took up half of the table.

"Aunt, eat."

Seeing the table full of meat, the equally hungry little cub couldn't wait to clamor.

"Okay, okay, let's eat."

Shaking his head with a smile, Shen Xiangwan scooped him a bowl of rice, handed him the spoon, and helped him pick up a few dishes with chopsticks.

"Thank you, Auntie."

After saying thank you obediently, the little cub took the spoon and started eating.

"Eat quickly."

While she was taking care of the child, Wei Chengyi also scooped out rice for her.

"Ah."

Nodding, Shen Xiangwan picked up the bowl and chopsticks. She liked to eat fish, so she went for the braised fish first. As early as when she was on the road of exile, she knew that the guards were good at cooking. They also cooked today's lunch very well, which suited her taste very much.

Seeing that she was satisfied with the meal, Wei Chengyi, Zhao Yuping and others also started eating. This was their first meal after settling in Yong'an Village. Perhaps because they no longer had to wander around and had a sense of belonging, everyone felt that the food seemed particularly delicious and could not help but eat a lot more than usual. All the food was finished.

Compared to Wei Chengyi, who had already made arrangements and had a brand new big house to live in and delicious meals to fill their stomachs, Wei Jingyi, Wei Jinghan and the Shen family, who were also assigned to Yong'an Village, were a bit miserable. The government did provide half an acre of residential land, but building a house requires money and time. When they, led by the village chief, saw Wei Chengyi and his family's house from afar, they almost cried with envy.

"Village Chief, let's choose this place."

After discussion, Wei Jingyi and Wei Jinghan decided to choose a homestead at the end of the village close to the Wei family. At the beginning, Shen Xiangwan lent them 100 taels of silver each, because those direct descendants occupied and robbed their things and food like blood-sucking worms. Even if they were frugal, they didn't have much money left, and the most they could do was to build a few thatched houses.

"Okay, your two households are next to each other, right?"

"Ah."

Wei Jingyi and Wei Jinghan looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Their family had a strong foundation, and they would feel more secure if they were closer to them.

"Then I'll help you measure it."

As he spoke, Zhao Dashan skillfully took out a ruler and measured the half-acre of homestead that belonged to them to them: "I will go to the government office tomorrow to help you get the land deed." "Okay, thank you, village chief."

"It's okay. This is what I should do. As long as you behave yourself, I'll be happy."

Waving his hand, Zhao Dashan turned to the Shen family again: "What about you? Which homestead are you going to choose?"

Because of Shen Xiangyue's outrageous behavior at the beginning, he didn't like them and his attitude was not good.

“We chose the village...”

“We chose this place too.”

As the head of the household, Shen Xiangyang was interrupted by Jiang and Shen Xiangyue as soon as he spoke. Although the mother and daughter had a falling out, they had a tacit understanding at this time.

Who doesn't know that they chose this place to find an opportunity to get close to Shen Xiangwan? But her attitude has long been clear. She didn't even look at her father's death, so how could she care about them?

If they get entangled too much, he might even teach them a lesson, and then all of them would probably suffer.

Shen Xiangyang was so angry that his teeth itched, but he had to be patient and said, "Mother, this place is too remote and far away from our land. It must be inconvenient to go in and out. Let's choose the homestead in the middle of the village."

"No, I want to choose this place."

Jiang was extremely strong and did not want to negotiate at all. Shen Xiangyue at the side also chimed in, "Brother Yang, my sister is my biological daughter. How can you bear to keep her away from her?"

Looking at her blaming tone, people who don’t know her might think she is very kind and nice.

"you shut up."

He is not like those two idiots, Shen Xiangdong and Shen Xiangnan. Shen Xiangyang glared at her fiercely, and when he turned to Jiang again, his hands hanging by his side unconsciously clenched into fists: "Mother, I am the head of the household now."

"So what if you are the head of the household? I am your stepmother, and you must listen to me."

Jiang's attitude remained tough. In her heart, whether it was a concubine's son or daughter, they were all the same as servants.

"Mother!"

Does she still think she is the mistress of the prime minister's mansion?
Shen Xiangyang's eyes were gloomy, and his fists tightened and loosened. If there were no outsiders around, he would have punched her long ago. At the same time, he had the idea of ​​getting rid of her, Shen Xiangyue, and Xie Yunyun. There was no one left in his direct lineage, and he would never let anyone put pressure on him again.

"I don't care. The homestead must be chosen here."

Having held illegitimate sons and daughters in her hands for years, Jiang carelessly ignored the ruthlessness in his eyes, which also laid the groundwork for her subsequent experience.

"no!"

"Shen Xiangyang, what's wrong with you? Who gave you the courage to talk to mother like this?"

Seeing that he still opposed, Xie Yunyun couldn't help but speak out. Even though she knew it was impossible, deep down in her heart, she still hoped that her mother could coax Shen Xiangwan. Only in that way would they have a good life in the future.

"You widow..."

"enough."

Seeing that they were making endless noise, Zhao Dashan shouted angrily and took up a ruler to measure half an acre of homestead opposite Wei Jingyi and the others: "This is your homestead, take it or leave it."

After saying that, Zhao Dashan strode away with his hands behind his back. He had disliked them in the first place, and now he even felt a little disgusted with them.

"Village Chief, Village Chief..."

Jiang, Shen Xiangyue and Xie Yunyun were satisfied, but Shen Xiangyang couldn't help but get furious. Seeing the village chief walking further and further away, the nameless anger in his heart burned up, and he became more determined to deal with them as soon as possible.
