Why did you provoke me?

Hearing that both of them objected at the same time, Mr. Yu sighed again.

"I think this is fine too," Yu Meng said.

"No, we don't even have a car yet, you can't buy one for Fangting." The older brother's attitude was very firm.

"That's right, how much money does Xiao Si need? You need to save your money for opening the shop, you can't spend it recklessly," Mom advised from the side.

"But do you know how much the bracelets Xiao Si makes can sell for?" Mr. Yu asked helplessly. "Xiao Si's things can't be easily distributed; they'll all be sold in the shop from now on."

"Dad, are the things my little sister makes very valuable?" Dali asked in a low voice.

"Um."

The whole family fell silent.

"Then let's buy a bicycle," Mom agreed first. "But it's not for Fangting, it's for his older brother."

"Mom, what's the difference between giving it to my eldest brother and giving it to my sister-in-law? If we say it's for my sister-in-law, it will look much better on the surface," Dali advised.

"How can that be the same? Giving it to your older brother is a gift from his younger sister to his older brother. Your sister-in-law can ride the bike, but the ownership belongs to your older brother."

Yu Meng nodded in agreement, "Mom is right."

"Little sister, isn't this too expensive? How can your brother accept your gift?" Yu Jun tried to refuse.

"Take it. It's much cheaper than the bracelet," Mr. Yu said.

The matter was settled, and then they began to find an auspicious day to prepare for the wedding.

Because their new house was in town, their wedding was held there. Afterwards, Mr. and Mrs. Yu returned to the village and treated their fellow villagers to another meal.

Yu's father found a house in town and took Yu Meng to see it.

Yu Meng immediately took a liking to the courtyard with a two-story building. The front facade was a two-story building, and the back included a courtyard and a single-story house.

When the decision was made, Mr. Yu was still in a daze.

Didn't you say you were just looking for a small shop? How did it turn into a two-story villa?

Yu Meng found Zhao Changsheng and asked him to find a carpenter to make a display case according to the drawings she had drawn.

Zhao Changjiu envied his brother, who now had something to do. He looked at Yu Meng with a grin. "Fairy sister, can you find me some work to do too?"

"Have you graduated from your martial arts apprenticeship?" Yu Meng asked.

"No. I've never been to a martial arts school," Zhao Changjiu said softly, his head drooping.

"Then what can you do? You're a grown man, you can't just sweep the floor or cook for me, can you?"

Zhao Changjiu's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "I'm a great cook, and my food is delicious. I can also run errands for you; I'm very fast."

"Didn't I arrange work for you and your brother? Why do you insist on coming with me?"

"Aren't you a fairy? The kind that can fly? My brother and I both want to follow someone capable."

"When did you see me fly?" Yu Meng's eyes narrowed.

Zhao Changjiu hurriedly waved his hands, "I didn't go to see you on purpose. That day I went to find you and saw you standing on the river. I was so scared that my legs went weak and I lay on the ground for a long time. When I finally stood up, you were gone."

"Aren't you afraid of me like this?"

"Yes, I'm scared. But I admire you more than anything. So when I got home and told my brother, we decided to follow you from now on."

"Besides, without the gold coins you gave my brother, Dad's leg wouldn't be healed now, and we might even have been sold to mine by that guy called Lao Wai." Zhao Changjiu's eyes were full of sincerity.

When Mr. Yu got home, he was still in a daze. Mrs. Yu thought something had happened.

He told me that Yu Meng had bought a two-story house. "Little Si'er, where did you get so much money?" Yu's mother asked curiously.

"I didn't spend any money. I traded it for a bracelet and a jade pendant that I made," Yu Meng told her mother.

Mrs. Yu was stunned. "The bracelets and jade pendants you made?"

Mr. Yu nodded, "I knew that what our fourth son makes is valuable, but I never thought it could be exchanged for a building."

"I have to pay a price for doing those things; they're not things I can do casually," Yu Meng said earnestly to her mother.

Mother Yu lowered her head, and her face slowly turned red.

"Because I'm still young, the building is registered in my father's name. When I turn 16, it will be changed to my name," Yu Meng explained clearly.

"I know all of that," said Mrs. Yu softly.

"If I need you to help me run the shop, I will pay you wages," Yu Meng dropped another bombshell.

"We are your parents, why would we take your wages?" Mrs. Yu said hurriedly.

Yu Mengyao nodded. "Every effort is rewarded. You've provided the labor, so it's reasonable for me to pay you."

Mr. Yu chuckled beside him. "When I go there, you'd better pay me a high salary."

"That's for sure," Yu Meng nodded.

That evening, Yu's mother seemed somewhat distracted. "Why is our little fourth son so materialistic? Does he have to be so particular about everything?"

"When I said she traded her bracelet and jade pendant for an apartment, what came to mind? What were you thinking about?" Mr. Yu asked, lying on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Yu Ma was taken aback. "I raised her all these years, what's wrong with me asking her for a few things?"

"You have the nerve to say that. We used to be able to save up a single gold coin in a whole year. Do you remember how many gold coins Xiao Si gave you last time?"

"I'm her mother, isn't it only right that I give her gold coins?" Yu's mother retorted.

"You raised her for three years with one gold coin, and she has already given you so many gold coins, yet it's still not enough to repay you for those three years of nurturing. Don't be too greedy, or you'll end up with nothing," Father Yu earnestly advised.

"We need to think long-term. Do you know how old Xiao Si is this year? She can already afford a small villa in town. If she gets a few years older, do you dare say she won't go to the city, the province, or even Beijing?" Father Yu closed his eyes. "Go to sleep. You don't need to worry about these things."

Yu Ma tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Had she really been wrong? But she hadn't always acted in their best interests.

Yu Meng wasn't sleeping in her room either. She was flipping through the third line drawing book that Dali had given her.

There's really nothing we can do right now, it's freezing cold outside.

She didn't really care about her mother's situation. Buying a house in town at this time was actually a way of preparing for them to live there in the future.

She helped the town mayor so much, so it's fine if the house is registered in her name. The reason for registering it in her father's name is to make it easier for them to own the house later.

Her goal wasn't actually in town; it was just a transitional phase because she was too young to do many things.
