My dad's marriage into my family made me rich, and my fierce yet adorable older sister spoils m

Guan Daya watched the scene before her with a smile, quite happy about the harmonious atmosphere. After all, seeing everyone's resistance before had made her very uneasy.

Although Guan Sanya walked beside him without saying much, the look in her eyes towards Lin Chuan was less cold and more tender and dependent, even to her own surprise.

The Guan family compound was bustling with activity at this time.

After all, it's a red brick and tile house, and many villagers stood at the door watching the spectacle. Seeing how well the house was built, they were filled with envy.

But envy is useless; after all, they don't have Guan Hongying's skills in slaughtering pigs, nor do they have her hunting abilities.

Master Pang and his apprentices had already quickly laid the foundation and were preparing to finish work and wash their hands.

Meanwhile, Guan Hongying was busy in the kitchen, where a large iron pot was stewing fragrant wild boar, cabbage, and tofu, and even topped with a ring of golden cornbread.

Although Guan Hongying's cooking skills are not very good, in this day and age, meat tastes delicious no matter how it is stewed.

This made the onlookers at the door extremely hungry. If this were someone else's house, someone would definitely step forward and shamelessly want to take a bite.

But this is Guan Hongying's house, the female demon! Who would dare to go up there and cause trouble?

Unable to resist the irresistible aroma of the meat, the group could only swallow their saliva and leave.

Otherwise, just standing right at the door is just asking for trouble!

"Mom! We're back!"

With Lin Chuan's shout from outside the gate, the gate was pushed open, and the four siblings walked in, chatting and laughing.

"Oh my goodness, how did you get all muddy?"

Guan Hongying peeked out from the kitchen and then quickly came over with a towel.

Seeing Lin Chuan and his daughters looking like mud monkeys, she frowned with heartache.

"Quickly, the hot water is ready, hurry up and wash your hands before eating."

As she spoke, she served Lin Chuan tea and wiped his sweat.

"Xiao Chuan, the older sisters are used to working. You're not very healthy, so please rest more when you're working, okay? Just let them do the work."

Looking at the three sisters with helpless expressions, Lin Chuan couldn't help but laugh and cry.

He laughed and said, "That won't do, Mom! I need to get some exercise so I can do more work in the future. We can't let the girls do all the work! We men have to step up too!"

Hearing what Lin Chuan said, Guan Hongying was both amused and exasperated.

"Good, good, good! As expected of my son, Guan Hongying, you've really made me proud!"

"Brother...brother..."

Hearing a timid voice behind him, Lin Chuan thought he had misheard and subconsciously turned around, but he didn't see anyone.

"I, I'm here..."

Lin Chuan lowered his head and then saw Guan Qiya's hands clenched tightly in front of her chest, looking up at him timidly.

Even when she saw Lin Chuan looking down, she quickly looked away.

Lin Chuan chuckled, then squatted down in front of her.

"What's wrong, Xiao Qi? Is there something you need?"

He spoke gently, with a smile.

Seeing Lin Chuan's gentle demeanor, Guan Xiaoqi blinked and immediately felt less nervous.

"Dad said that when you come back, I can ask you about any words I don't recognize."

"Of course! I would be extremely honored!"

Seeing how well Lin Chuan got along with each of the children, Guan Hongying's smile deepened.

She and Lin Hai in the distance exchanged a glance, both seeing relief in each other's eyes.

"Alright, alright, it's time to eat. My brother worked all day, so let him eat something. What if he faints from hunger?"

"Oh, right..."

Guan Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly, feeling embarrassed, and then quickly and attentively brought Lin Chuan a chair.

When Guan Siya saw this, she stood aside and chuckled mischievously.

"Xiao Qi, bring your sister a chair."

Guan Liuya said helplessly, "Fourth Sister, you're bullying Xiaoqi again."

Guan Siya's eyes widened immediately. "What are you saying? She already got a chair for Lin Chuan, so why couldn't she get one for me too?! And you're saying I'm bullying you?! Weren't your snacks and hair accessories all bought for you by me in town?!"

Guan Liuya shook her head and smiled at Guan Siya, then stuck out her tongue, lowered her head to eat, and ignored Guan Siya.

Guan Siya was furious, but she didn't dare to confront Guan Liuya in front of Guan Hongying.

Lin Chuan was helpless. Although Guan Siya seemed to be the older sister, he hadn't actually gained much advantage over Guan Liuya.

Dinner was set out on a large table in the yard.

After smelling the aroma of meat in the kitchen, Master Pang and his apprentices had already washed their hands and sat down at the table.

Looking at the bowl full of juicy wild boar meat, their mouths were practically watering.

These days, who would be willing to eat meat when hiring someone to do chores?!

They can only put this much meat in! Not to mention, it's served with plain white steamed buns.

Guan Erjie is indeed very straightforward in handling matters!

"Professor Lin, I, Old Pang, have been a bricklayer for most of my life, and today I am completely convinced!"

Master Pang raised his wine glass and, with a flushed face, toasted Lin Hai.

"The blueprints you drew! The stress points of the load-bearing walls are absolutely brilliant! With your method, this house wouldn't just last fifty years, I think it wouldn't even collapse in an earthquake! You're practically a reincarnation of Lu Ban!"

Lin Hai was somewhat shy, and his face turned red with embarrassment at the praise.

He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with feigned composure, then picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said modestly, "Master Pang, you flatter me. Everyone has their own expertise. I'm just a theorist; we still need your skills to do it properly."

Looking at his father's sage-like demeanor, which seemed to conceal his achievements, Lin Chuan almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Guan Hongying sat beside Lin Hai, looking at him with admiration.

The thought that Lin Hai was now her man made her grin.

After a hearty meal, Master Pang and his apprentices left, expressing their deepest gratitude.

Only the Guan family members remained in the courtyard.

Lin Chuan looked at the pile of red bricks in the yard, which resembled a small mountain, and couldn't help but stroke his chin, his brows furrowing slightly...

"Lin Chuan, what's wrong with you? What are you looking at? Are you so excited about moving into a big house in a few days that you can't sleep?"

Guan Siya came up to him and bumped him with her shoulder.

Caught off guard, Lin Chuan was suddenly bumped into by Guan Siya and stumbled.

Guan Siya was also startled by Lin Chuan and quickly reached out to support him.

She chuckled a few times, "Wow... with your small frame, you really should eat properly and exercise more."

Lin Chuan glanced at her helplessly, "I'm happy... but I still feel a little uneasy..."
