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

Thinking about this made Sister-in-law Shen even angrier. She grabbed Shen Daya and rushed into the yard, yelling, "Xu Qinghe, are you fucking desperate?"

"You can't even bear to give a child a sip of mung bean soup? Does someone like you deserve to be called 'auntie' by a child?"

When Sister-in-law Shen rushed in, Xu Qinghe was discussing the beam-raising ceremony with Old Man Shen, Village Chief Shen, Shen Daqiang, and Uncle Shen.

Upon hearing this, everyone working in the yard turned to look at Sister-in-law Shen.

Seeing so many people staring at her, Sister-in-law Shen wasn't intimidated at all. She put her hands on her hips and started yelling at Xu Qinghe, "You, surnamed Xu, say something!"

"You're not fucking guilty and too scared to speak, are you?!"

Xu Qinghe merely frowned and glanced at Sister-in-law Shen. Seeing her hands on her hips and her foul language, she instantly thought of the shrew in the short video.

But she only glanced at her indifferently, then turned back to continue her discussion with the village chief and the others.

"Do we need to find an auspicious date for the roof beam raising?"

Village chief: "We have to see."

"Besides choosing an auspicious day, we also need to prepare some offerings to bless you with peace and good fortune."

Seeing that everyone shared the same idea, Xu Qinghe agreed, "Alright, I'll prepare the offerings."

"I just don't know who around here is good at interpreting this?"

Old Man Shen: "Old Man Sun over on the other side of the mountain is really good at predicting auspicious dates. I'll go there tomorrow."

"Please invite him over and let him take a look at you."

Xu Qinghe said gratefully, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Father."

"Should we halt all other projects as well, or continue?"

Village Chief Shen glanced at the villagers bustling about in the courtyard and said calmly, "Continue."

"Your house is so big. If you don't continue building it, it won't be finished by mid-August, and that will delay the grain harvest."

Xu Qinghe nodded, "I understand. I'll hire more people these next few days and try to finish it before August."

Village Chief Shen nodded, "Okay." Then he glanced at Sister-in-law Shen, "Aren't you going to take care of that over there?"

Xu Qinghe replied without hesitation, "Nothing will be done."

Let her curse all she wants; she's the only one who'll lose face.

If she ran over there at that moment and the two of them started arguing, it would be embarrassing for both of them.

Everyone witnessed what just happened, and they all know who is right and who is wrong.

Seeing that Sister-in-law Shen was standing with her hands on her hips, spitting as she cursed, she couldn't help but advise, "Auntie, please stop cursing."

"Your eldest daughter is completely in the wrong in this matter. Tell me, not a single person from your family came to help."

"Bringing so many people here to drink soup, aren't you ashamed?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Erya immediately retorted, "Well, it's just us. There are plenty of people who didn't help. Why should they get to drink?"

Aunt Shen: "They told you not to drink anymore, they told you to line up, did you line up?"

Shen Erya: "That's my aunt, why should I wait in line?"

While the group was arguing, Aunt Shen had been tending the fire nearby and had witnessed the whole situation. She directly retorted, "Since you say that's your aunt, did any of you call her aunt?"

Upon hearing this, the others immediately fell silent, but Sister-in-law Shen didn't care and retorted directly, "So what? My father-in-law is still helping out here!"

Sister Lan: "Qinghe didn't mistreat your Jinbao either."

Ask your Jinbao if he drank mung bean soup and ate steamed buns.

Shen Jinbao was sitting in the corner while eating steamed buns, and many people saw him.

Sister-in-law Shen was taken aback when Xu Qinghe gave Shen Jinbao some steamed buns. She paused for a moment, then started to complain unreasonably, "She gave Jinbao steamed buns, so why didn't she give some to Daya and Erya?"

Everyone was stunned by her words. They had seen greedy people before, but never anyone so greedy.

Seeing everyone looking at them with unspeakable expressions, Shen Daya was the first to lose her temper. She gently tugged at her sister-in-law's sleeve and whispered, "Mother, let's just forget about it!"

"It's a bit embarrassing."

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen immediately flew into a rage, "Shameful? Shameful of what? Where were you all this time?!"

Shen Daya never expected that her sister-in-law would scold her in public. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she ran away without looking back.

Shen Erya glanced timidly at her sister-in-law Shen and then ran off as well.

Left alone, watching everyone busy but no one paying attention to her, Sister-in-law Shen lost the will to stay any longer and turned away angrily.

Xu Qinghe didn't even glance at her once. After discussing the roof beam with Village Chief Shen and the others, he went to find Carpenter Shen.

They also called over Shen the carpenter's wife. There's no other way to live in the village without being careful about these things, otherwise you might get drowned in spittle.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I owe this roof beam all thanks to you!"

The beams in her house were carved by carpenter Shen; all the excess parts were removed, and the beams were even dyed.

Of course, it was just a matter of dyeing the walls; it couldn't compare to the ornate carvings and painted beams of wealthy families. But this simple act made them one of the richest households in the village.

Carpenter Shen's wife: "We're all from the same village, no need for formalities."

"Have you discussed with the village chief when to put up the roof beam?"

They take the raising of the roof beam very seriously; they not only prepare offerings but also set off firecrackers.

Xu Qinghe: "We've discussed it, let's find someone to choose an auspicious date first."

"I called you and my older brother over because I wanted to discuss the furniture with you."

Carpenter Shen's wife: "What kind of furniture do you want?"

"We have some ready-made ones at home. If you're not satisfied, we can make a new one."

Xu Qinghe didn't stand on ceremony and started scribbling in her notebook with her charcoal pencil.

"I just need a king-size bed like this in the room, one for now." He then started drawing again.

"But I'd like another one of these beds. Do you think you can make one?" As she spoke, she drew a picture of a bunk bed with bunk beds.

"Look, these are actually two beds. The bottom one is bigger, and the top one is smaller."

"Then add a ladder, and you can get from the bottom to the top."

"However, these two beds are separate; when they are put together, it is one bed, but when they are taken apart, it is two beds."

This way, Shen Chengyue and Shen Chengchuan can share a room when they are young, and when they get older and each has their own privacy, they can separate with their own beds.

Before Shen the carpenter could speak, his wife immediately refused, saying, "I can make this one sheet, but I can't make this one that's split into two sheets."

"Who has the ability to make something like this? It's so wobbly when put together, it's not safe for a child to sleep."

Carpenter Shen remained silent throughout, preoccupied with Xu Qinghe's question.

Then, after thinking for a while, she said aloud, "I can sit on this bed."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen the carpenter's wife was stunned. "You can do it? When did you become capable of doing this?"

"Don't try to be a hero. We've never even seen a bed like the one Shen Zhi's wife drew."

Carpenter Shen said firmly, "I can do it. I just need to make a mechanism here." He pointed to the two connecting points.
