Chapter 137 Isn't it just a disease?

By the time the couple came downstairs, it was almost an hour later. Zhao Yuping and her daughter were watching the cubs playing in the main room, while Wei Chenghe was nowhere to be found. He must have gone out to familiarize himself with the environment.

Most of the guards lived in the small tiled houses extending to the left and right. Only Qingying and the two deputy commanders lived in the right wing. They also had their own things to do, so the house seemed very quiet.

"You guys are coming down."

Seeing them holding each other's hands and walking into the house, Zhao Yuping's face was full of smiles. She really didn't expect that they could settle down so quickly.

"Auntie."

Without waiting for the two to respond, the little cub who was playing alone rushed over and hugged Shen Xiangwan's legs, looked up at her and smiled sweetly: "Auntie, let's go out and play, okay?"

There are lots of little kids outside and he wants to play with them.

"Okay, but it'll have to be later. It's still very hot now, and I don't want our fair and tender little cub to be tanned into a charcoal."

Bending down and picking him up, Shen Xiangwan's words were full of teasing.

"Ah."

As long as he can go out and play, the little cub smiles with satisfaction.

"Second Master."

Qingying strode in from outside, holding two letters in her hands. It seemed that there was something important. Shen Xiangwan turned around and said, "You guys go to the study. I'll talk to mother and the others."

"Ah."

Without rejecting her kindness, Wei Chengyi nodded to his mother again, turned around and left the hall with Qingying.

"Is there anything going to happen again?"

Watching them leave, Zhao Yuping murmured worriedly.

"What could happen?"

Shaking his head in amusement, Shen Xiangwan sat down with the little cub in his arms: "Why don't I see Cheng He?"

"what?"

Zhao Yuping was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "He, he went to Jingyi's place. Jingyi and Jinghan both chose the homestead at the end of the village and hired a few strong laborers in the village to build a few thatched houses. Many villagers gathered there."

"Murao?"

Shen Xiangwan, who was about to drink tea, paused and almost instantly guessed why they made such a choice. She didn't object. After all, the families of Wei Jingyi and Wei Jinghan were not like the other members of the Wei family who always liked to make trouble. However, they probably didn't have extra money to dig a well like them. If they lived at the end of the village, drinking water would undoubtedly be quite difficult.

Moreover, according to the guards, the land in the village is all at the east end of the village, while the end of the village belongs to the west, making it inconvenient to work in the fields.

"Not only them, the Shen family also chose the homestead at the end of the village, right across from Uncle Yi and his family. Second sister-in-law, do you think they are crazy? The village is so big, why did they have to choose the one in front of us?"

Whenever Wei Linger thought about someone always trying to hook up with her second brother, and that she would see them whenever she went out in the future, she felt very unhappy. If possible, she didn't even want to live in the same village with them.

"Ling'er!"

"Oh?" Zhao Yuping and Shen Xiangwan spoke almost at the same time. The former had a helpless look on her face, with disapproval written all over her eyes. No matter what, Jiang was Wanwan's mother. She could deny it herself, but they couldn't show too much rejection. The latter raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of interest at the corners of her mouth, as if she was not surprised by the Shen family's choice.

Did she say something wrong?

It’s not that she doesn’t understand her mother’s concerns, but Wei Ling’er doesn’t care. She just doesn’t like those people and doesn’t want to put herself in a difficult position. Is that wrong?

"It's just that I'm sick."

Looking at Zhao Yuping and then at Wei Ling'er, Shen Xiangwan responded with a smile. She really liked Wei Ling'er more and more. This era was too harsh on women. She couldn't control others, but for her own girl, she was very happy to see her express her emotions at the right time, not be bound by worldly constraints, and be herself as she pleased.

"hey-hey···"

With her sister-in-law's agreement, Wei Ling'er stuck out her tongue proudly and made a face at her mother.

"You."

Seeing this, Zhao Yuping pointed at her from a distance, and said with a smile: "Wanwan, please stop spoiling her. She will become rotten."

Having said that, Zhao Yuping was happy from the bottom of her heart to see that they had a good relationship. Now that they had settled down, although they would not be as rich as before, as long as the family lived in harmony, they would not have to worry about having a bad life.

"If we don't pamper our own daughter, who else should we pamper?"

Raising her eyebrows, Shen Xiangwan curled the corners of her lips slightly. If possible, she even hoped that Wei Linger would be more lively and stop sticking to those rules and regulations set by others. Life is neither long nor short, just a few decades. Why bother to put yourself in a difficult position for others?
"Yes."

Wei Ling'er quickly agreed, her beautiful, slightly immature face filled with a bright smile. She really liked her second sister-in-law more and more.

"You guys, what can I say?"

"Ha ha···"

Zhao Yuping suddenly felt helpless. Shen Xiangwan and Wei Linger exchanged glances, and they both laughed at the same time.

At the same time, at the end of the village, after a simple lunch, Wei Jingyi and Wei Jinghan found the village chief again and told him that they wanted to hire strong laborers to build a thatched house. It didn't take long for the village chief to find seven or eight strong laborers. The two parties agreed on the hiring price, and the strong laborers started working.

The women and children who had nothing to do in the village also gathered at the end of the village. While watching the strong laborers building thatched huts, they whispered from a distance. It was not that there were no exiled commoners in the village, but it was precisely because of them that they were unwilling to get close. Over the years, they had been frightened by those exiled commoners.

"mother."

Faced with their pointing and criticizing, the women of the two families felt somewhat embarrassed, especially the unmarried girls.

"It's okay, we just got here, it's normal for them to be a little curious."

Patting the back of her daughter's hand soothingly, Wan sighed helplessly. It's not like she hadn't thought about talking to those women before, but... they seemed very xenophobic and didn't want to accept them at all. If this continued, it would be extremely difficult for them to integrate into the village. So far, she didn't know what to do.

"Ah."

Several young women looked at each other, blushed and nodded in unison. They were not stupid and could naturally feel the rejection of those people. Now they could only pray that the villagers were just temporarily curious.

Regardless of whether the villagers reject them or not, at least their side is bustling. In comparison, the Shen family across the street seems very deserted. They have a residential plot, but they have no money to build a house. No, to be precise, they don't even have money to eat. They can only squat there with hungry stomachs, looking like fools.
