After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Su Tai smiled, "That's what I was planning too. There's no road behind there, and it's covered in thorns. Nobody usually goes there. It's okay if they make a fuss if they live there. But we'll have to put some insect repellent powder on the wall to keep snakes, insects, and rodents from crawling in."

Shen Yi agreed.

After a brief discussion, Su Tai turned over and fell asleep, while Shen Yi got up and got to work.

That night, Ke Yunyun thought she would have insomnia because of the unfamiliar environment, but she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she put the child to sleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside. A faint fragrance wafted into the room, and Zhu Kangcheng smacked his lips in his sleep, which made people smile.

She had just chuckled when Xiao Xi woke up and hurriedly got up to get dressed. "Miss, I overslept. I'll go get you some water to wash up."

When Xiao Xi came out of the room and saw the courtyard, she was dumbfounded. She stared at it for a while, wondering whether she should go to the outer courtyard.

Su Tai heard the noise and came over. "You're awake? Do you want to get some water?"

Xiao Xi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Mrs. Shen, I'd like some water."

Seeing her nervous look, Su Tai smiled and said, "Just call me Su Tai. Come with me. Our house has two gates. The main gate is usually kept closed. If someone comes, they will pull on the wooden stake. It's okay if you occasionally go to the front yard, just don't go out when someone comes."

The bathroom is in the front yard. Inside, there is a bathtub and a smaller, higher pool. The water in both is clean and warm, and you can use that water for washing and grooming.

Just take out as much water as you need, and the water tank is always full of clean, cold water. We also have toothpaste and a toothbrush for professional teeth cleaning at home. That's how we use it.

These toothpastes were all purchased from MuShiKong Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. They are made from pure Chinese medicine and cost 100 virtual coins per jar, plus two specially made wooden toothbrushes.

Su Tai initially thought it was too expensive and didn't want to buy it, but since it came with a free toothbrush, she would buy it even if it cost a thousand virtual coins just for the toothbrush.

She demonstrated it to Xiaoxi and then showed her the results.

Xiao Xi was stunned and couldn't react for a long time.

In addition to toothpaste, there are also medicated soaps for washing the face, bath soaps, and hair nourishing creams.

After Su Tai finished introducing everything, Xiao Xi looked at her with fascination. "Madam Shen, you are so amazing! Everything in your house is so magical! I have been serving you for so long, but I have never seen anything like it."

Is this what life is really like for wealthy families?

Su Tai looked at Xiao Xi, whose eyes were glazed over, with amusement. "These are all things I tinker with when I have nothing else to do. It's normal that you haven't seen them before. There's also a special mugwort shampoo and conditioner for children in this room. It's for bathing and washing hair. After using it, you'll have a faint mugwort scent on your body, which can repel mosquitoes."

"Really! I'll go tell you right now." Xiao Xi hurriedly ran to the backyard with the empty wooden basin.

Su Tai shook her head, turned around and went into the kitchen to cook.

After Ke Yunyun personally experienced the effects of the toothpaste and facial soap, she became a complete fan of Su Tai.

"Cousin, those products are so effective! I feel like I never washed my face before. Xiaoxi even said that my skin has become much fairer after using the facial soap."

Xiao Xi quickly said, "The young lady is already fair-skinned, but now she looks like she's glowing."

"Hahaha," Su Tai laughed heartily at their antics. "From now on, you can use as much as you want while you're staying here. I can afford to provide for these little things. After dinner, I'll take you to see my house."

During the meal, Shen Yuezhang and her brother became restless because there was another child in the family.

Zhu Kangcheng was very excited because he had never had any playmates before and it was rare to meet a child of similar age to him. He wanted to show off everything.

Breakfast was a chaotic affair because of the children eating. After everyone finished eating, Xiao Xi took the initiative to clean up the dishes, and Su Tai didn't stand on ceremony with her, telling her about all the utensils they had washed.

When Xiaoxi learned that she could use hot water and ointment after washing, her mind went completely blank.

However, after witnessing firsthand how a little ointment could clean the dishes so thoroughly, leaving no trace of grease, she was completely convinced.

After everyone finished tidying up, Su Tai led them to the cellar.

You have to go through the small door to get there from this side.

The small door is located in an inconspicuous side room in the backyard, which can be described as a hidden gem.

If the door to the side room is locked, it would be hard for outsiders to imagine that this side leads to the neighboring courtyard.

When Su Tai led them there, she surprised the three of them again, making them look like country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

Looking at the maze-like house, Ke Yunyun's eyes shone with even more admiration for Su Tai. "Cousin, this yard is amazing! If a thief broke in, he probably wouldn't be able to find his way out!"

Su Tai covered her mouth and chuckled, "Thieves can't climb over! Our walls are reinforced, and there are anti-theft measures on top. Last time, when Master Ma from town brought people to cause trouble, he was injured while trying to climb over the wall, and he hasn't fully recovered yet!"
After their commotion, everyone for miles around knows that you can't touch our wall! Anyone who's really asking for trouble will try to climb over it!

Ke Yunyun and Xiao Xi were even happier.

This courtyard is deep and complicated, and it has a "terrifying reputation." Nobody knows they're here, so they should be safe!

While pondering, Su Tai led them to the innermost part of the house and pointed to a large house in front of them, saying, "This is our family's cellar. The gate to this courtyard is in front of the cellar. It has two doors, both locked inside and out. It is usually only opened during the autumn harvest. You don't need the cellar, so you can close this courtyard gate again to prevent the children from sneaking over. It would be troublesome to find them later."

Ke Yunyun wholeheartedly agreed, "It really should be locked up; it's not easy to find a child in such a big yard."

She now felt that there was no safer place in the world than Su Tai's house.

Since Ke Yunyun and the other two liked the courtyard, Su Tai immediately asked Xiao Xi to help tidy it up.

The houses in the yard are all new. Just sweep away the dust, wipe the tables and beds, wash the floor, and lay out clean bedding, and you can move in immediately.

When Shen Yi returned after finishing his work, they had already tidied up the house.

About an hour later, Su Chunlin and Su Chunsen's family also arrived at Su Tai's house in a grand manner.

When the group entered, they deliberately chatted loudly and pretended to be friendly in the courtyard. Only when they were almost done did Su Tai close the courtyard gate and lead them to the courtyard near the cellar to talk.

Su Chunsen and his family were also amazed when they went inside.

Madam Wan exclaimed, "I think this courtyard of Shen Yi's is a great place to hide people! Yunyun and her son will definitely not be discovered living here."

Which farmhouse can be so maze-like? They really know how to make things complicated.

Su Chunsen, puzzled, asked, "Shen Yi, why did you two build such a big yard?"

Shen Yi explained helplessly, "The yard wasn't originally this big. Later, the family had more and more ways to make money and bought more and more fields. There was nowhere to store things, so we had to build a yard here and build a cellar. That area is the cellar. This yard is specially set up for my daughter to live in. She's still too young to use it."

The house next door was specifically built for selling guokui (a type of flatbread), making delivery and pickup convenient and without affecting Xiaotai and the children. The front yard is dedicated to making guokui, and the back yard can also be used for living. From the outside, the three yards appear as three separate households, but there are small doors inside so we can come and go as we please.
