Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

Upon hearing this, Shen's mother became anxious, "Give you money? What are you thinking? I have money, I can give it to you. Someone like you, no matter how much money I give you, you'll squander it all."

"You're a jinx; our family has never had a good time since you walked in the door."

"First the second son divided the family property, then the eldest son's wife was beaten and her house was vandalized..."

Before he could finish speaking, Old Man Shen scolded him, "Alright, are you done yet? Can't you see the village chief is still here?"

Mother Shen glanced at the village chief and the village clerk, then angrily got up from the ground and scolded Old Man Shen, "Go ahead and protect him! Let's see what you can do to protect him." After saying that, she stormed off.

As soon as Shen's mother left, the courtyard fell silent. Only then did the village chief ask Xu Qinghe, "I heard from your father that you want to double the size of your house?"

Xu Qinghe nodded, "Yes, the house is too small now, it's not enough to live in."

"Where do you want to expand from?"

At that time, you couldn't just expand a house as you pleased; you had to consider the location, whether it encroached on land, waterways, or official roads.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe immediately pointed to the open space next to him and told the village chief.

Because they have no neighbors around them, they are not worried about affecting others.

Upon seeing the location Xu Qinghe pointed to, the village chief immediately nodded in agreement. "You say this place is fine, but the area is a bit too large. A white deed alone won't suffice; we must report it to the government and obtain a red deed."

Xu Qinghe: I know. Once Shen Zhikong arrives, I'll have him come find you.

"Look, our whole family is crammed into this kitchen. Could you let us build the house first and then go through the paperwork?"

Without hesitation, the village chief replied, "Alright, it just so happens that a few houses in the village have collapsed."

"You and Shen Zhi discuss how to build it. When you need anything, let the village know so we can buy it together and get a discount."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe immediately expressed her gratitude and thanked him.

After seeing the village chief off, only Xu Qinghe and Old Man Shen remained at the house. Old Man Shen watched Xu Qinghe busy herself and hesitated for a moment before finally telling her what had happened.

"Second son's wife, if you have time today, you should go and check on the fields."

"Yesterday's rain was too heavy, and there is standing water in the fields. We need to drain it quickly, otherwise it will affect the harvest."

Xu Qinghe immediately understood, thanked him, saw Old Man Shen off, picked up his hoe, and headed to the field.

When I arrived, many families were already draining their water; for them, food is their lifeline.

The first thing she thought of when something happened was the field, unlike her who was still a bit slow to react.

She spent the whole afternoon working alone in the field to drain all the water.

When she arrived home, Shen Chengyue and Shen Chengchuan had already returned from playing outside. As soon as they saw Xu Qinghe, they surrounded her, asking anxiously, "Auntie, where did you go?"

Xu Qinghe wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied, "I went to the fields."

Have you two eaten?

Because they steamed a lot of buns last night, they ate them for one meal and then another, and it took them almost a whole day to finish them.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue immediately nodded without hesitation.

Xu Qinghe was relieved and put down the hoe to wash his hands by the water vat.

He took a bun out of the pot and started eating it, finishing two before stopping.

She's been busy since noon and only just now got to eat.

Shen Zhi returned right after finishing his meal, and his face darkened when he saw Xu Qinghe's expression.

But she quickly hid it, her face showing concern, and asked, "Are you tired?"

Xu Qinghe originally thought she could still hold on, but as soon as she saw Shen Zhi, she couldn't hold on anymore and nodded pitifully, "Tired."

Shen Zhi sighed helplessly, "Where are you tired? Let me massage you." With that, she walked over to Xu Qinghe.

Xu Qinghe didn't stand on ceremony and immediately described her entire body.

Frustrated, Shen Zhi tugged at her cheek. "You're disobedient. Didn't I tell you to wait for me to come back and do it?"

Xu Qinghe: "I'm afraid you're also very tired."

Shen Zhi's hand froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered and said, "I'm not that tired."

The next second, Xu Qinghe hugged his neck. "But I think you're very tired, and I don't want you to work so hard."

Faced with Xu Qinghe's gentle embrace, Shen Zhi's heart softened completely. He placed his hand on Xu Qinghe's back, unsure of what to say in return.

"What are your thoughts on the house? What kind of house do you want to build?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe immediately became interested, loosened her grip on Shen Zhi's neck, and began to tell him about her plans.

"I want to build a house like this." He said, and started drawing on the ground.

"I want to build a big house, 12 meters long and 9 meters wide, and the interior will be divided like this."

"First, divide it into four rooms and one main room."

"The four rooms face each other, with a master bedroom on the east side and a secondary bedroom opposite the master bedroom."

"In the middle are the main hall and the dining room, which is where we eat."

"This way we can save a lot of space. With the extra space, we can build a bathroom here and a kitchen here."

Because their yard is very large, the kitchen and bathroom are both outside; one is for living, and the other is for use.

Moreover, after the building is completed, there will be passageways on both the east and west sides, which Xu Qinghe plans to use for raising things.

"The chickens and ducks live on the west side, and the dogs live on the east side, so that if someone comes in, the poultry in the house will know immediately."

The shower room is in front of the chicken coop on the west side, and the vegetable garden is in front of the shower room, so the water from the shower can flow into the vegetable garden to water the plants.

The toilet is right in front of the vegetable garden, and the courtyard wall is next to the toilet.

"To the east is the doghouse, in front of the doghouse is the kitchen, in front of the kitchen is the woodpile, and further ahead is the main gate."

"And I also want to dig a cellar. Originally, I wanted to put the cellar inside the house, but I need to store sweet potatoes and potatoes, so it's too much trouble to put it inside the house. I think I'll put it in the doghouse. With Xiao Hei watching over it, no one should dare to mess with it."

Shen Zhi listened to Xu Qinghe's plan without ever relaxing his brow.

This made Xu Qinghe look terrified. "What? You don't agree?"

Shen Zhi shook his head, "No, it's just that I think if you do it this way, we might not have enough money."

Xu Qinghe frowned. "Is building a house this expensive now?"

"It doesn't even cover the main room, kitchen, toilet, and bathroom?"

Shen Zhi: "Not only these, but also the courtyard wall?"

Xu Qinghe's shoulders relaxed immediately, but she quickly regained her composure. "It's okay, I have a way."

Her superpower has now been upgraded to level two, and she hasn't been to the mountain since then.

She found such expensive herbs when she was close to level two last time, and now that she's reached level two, she should be able to find even more expensive ones.

Shen Zhi immediately saw through her thoughts and asked in a serious tone, "You want to go up the mountain?"

As husband and wife, Xu Qinghe didn't hide anything from him, "Yes, I want to go up the mountain to take a look."
