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

Although he was very tired every day during this period, eating and drinking here was one of the few happy times he had.

The thought of returning to his dark, complaining home after tomorrow made Old Man Shen feel a pang of sadness.

They drank faster, and by the time Shen Zhi returned, the old man hadn't finished.

Xu Qinghe walked quickly towards Shen Zhi and whispered, "Dad doesn't seem to be in a good state. Go over and have a drink with him and try to persuade him."

Shen Zhi nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, she went to wash her hands and then walked towards Old Man Shen.

Seeing Old Man Shen's drunken state, Shen Zhi couldn't help but say, "If you really don't want to go back, then stay here with me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Old Man Shen became furious, "What kind of talk is that? Your elder brother is still alive, how can I live with you?"

Shen Zhi...

Does that mean my brother's death would solve everything?

"Alright, alright, I'm relieved to see you back. Treat Qinghe well, yes, good girl." With that, he turned to leave.

Seeing his staggering figure, Shen Zhi instinctively reached out to help him.

Old Man Shen immediately shook him off, saying, "I don't need your help. This little bit of wine won't make me drunk."

Helpless, Shen Zhi could only silently follow behind Old Man Shen and watch him enter the house.

Xu Qinghe was worried about Old Man Shen, and as soon as Shen Zhi returned, she couldn't wait to ask, "How did it go?"

Shen Zhi: "It's nothing."

"Have you gotten all the money?"

Xu Qinghe: "We've exchanged them all." After saying that, she ignored Shen Zhi, turned around and went into the main room to pack her things.

Once the last bit of work is finished tomorrow, they can move the furniture in as soon as it arrives, so Xu Qinghe wants to tidy up a bit in advance.

That night, as soon as Shen Chengyue and Shen Chengchuan fell asleep, Shen Zhi couldn't wait to pull Xu Qinghe into the house.

Seeing Shen Zhi's impatient look, Xu Qinghe punched him while asking, "When are we going to dig the cellar?"

Shen Zhi: "Should we dig after they finish their work?"

Xu Qinghe was relieved, but then Shen Zhi unleashed a torrent of abuse and punished her for not paying attention.

Xu Qinghe leaned against the wall, looking at Shen Zhi in front of her, and secretly thought to herself, "As expected, newly married men are not to be trifled with. A single glance can set off a wildfire."

Before she knew it, it was the next morning. When Xu Qinghe got up with a sore back, Shen Zhi had already disappeared.

There was only rice porridge and eggs cooking in the pot; the eggs were cooked together with the rice porridge.

The eggs had been washed many times before being boiled.

At first, Xu Qinghe wasn't used to this method of boiling eggs, but after seeing Shen Zhi repeatedly wash them and seeing how quickly they could be cooked in one pot, Xu Qinghe gradually accepted it.

Not long after they got up, the two children also woke up, got dressed, and ate with Xu Qinghe.

"Mom, can we move into the house today?"

Xu Qinghe, still half-asleep, responded with a soft "Mmm".

Upon hearing this, the two children immediately cheered. Looking at the two children who were becoming increasingly unruly, Xu Qinghe couldn't help but say, "Behave yourselves at home today and don't run around."

Shen Chengyue: "Understood."

After dinner, Old Man Shen and the others arrived one after another, because Xu Qinghe had given advance notice yesterday, and almost everyone who had helped them in the past two days came.

Once everyone had arrived, Shen the carpenter's furniture was also delivered.

Because their village doesn't have donkey carts, they always use small handcarts to deliver the goods.

The cart was full of parts. Shen the carpenter's eldest and second sons each had a rope around their necks and pushed the cart into the house.

After Xu Qinghe told them where to place the items, she went to find Village Chief Shen and the village secretary.

Village Chief Shen and the village office knew Xu Qinghe's plan from the beginning, so they weren't surprised when she came looking for them.

Village Chief Shen: "Will it be distributed today?"

Xu Qinghe found a small notebook and an abacus, and said with a serious expression, "Prosper."

Village Chief Shen: "Then you should consult with Secretary Shen first."

Xu Qinghe responded while leading Shen Tunshu towards the kitchen.

Since there was a table in the kitchen that could be used for accounting, Xu Qinghe put her notebook and abacus on the table and then took out the leftover writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone from the day before yesterday.

There was nothing she could do about remembering the name; only she could recognize it. Most people wouldn't dare to recognize it, and similarly, she wouldn't dare to recognize other people's handwriting.

Shen Tunshu looked at the small notebook that Xu Qinghe had placed on the table, and curiously picked it up to take a few glances.

He then put it back with a look of disgust. When Xu Qinghe came out, he let her say her name herself so he could memorize it again.

Xu Qinghe knew that the village office was looking down on her, so she didn't dare to say anything and obediently began to read.

After reading it aloud, the two of them started counting the number of days for each person. They usually divide the work into two categories: skilled workers and unskilled workers.

Uncle Shen and Shen Daqiang are the real master craftsmen, while Shen Ping'an is the junior craftsman.

A master craftsman is usually provided with one meal and eighty coins a day.

The laborer is provided with one meal and earns thirty-five coins a day.

Since Xu Qinghe didn't provide meals, the wages were set at 100 coins per day for master laborers and 50 coins per day for junior laborers.

After calculating the costs, only the initial workers hired by Old Man Shen were paid more. The workers who came later were not paid much, and some even worked for half a day. Regardless of the amount, Xu Qinghe calculated the cost for each of them.

Because there were so many people, it was already noon by the time we finished calculating.

Seeing that the windows and furniture were all installed, Xu Qinghe then began calling for workers to pay their wages.

Her accounts and money were already prepared, and the task of distributing the money was left to Village Chief Shen and the village office.

As soon as Village Chief Shen spoke, the crowd began to sob and murmur.

Seeing the chaotic crowd, Village Chief Shen frowned and said, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and line up to get your money."

"Anyone who came to help during the construction of Shen Zhi's house can receive it."

The words had barely left his mouth when everyone was stunned. Some of the more unreliable thugs even shouted, "You get paid just for helping?"

Village Chief Shen glanced at him, then turned to look at the village office. "Could you check if Li Sheng has any money?"

The clerk was somewhat familiar with the name Li Sheng. After hearing this, he immediately flipped through the book to look it up and, sure enough, found Li Sheng's name at the very end.

Although it was only half a day, it still yielded twenty-five coins.

"have."

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Shen immediately said to Li Sheng, "You're here, hurry up and get in line."

Li Sheng was stunned when he heard this. He had only come here on a whim and worked for half a day, but he didn't expect to get paid for it.

"Damn, Shen Zhixing! He doesn't even pay me for half a day's work. I'd better hurry up and get in line."

Upon hearing this, the people who had helped before didn't hesitate and started lining up in a chaotic manner.

Of course, there were also quite a few people who came to watch the excitement but didn't help. Seeing that Li Sheng could join the queue, a few with ulterior motives immediately followed suit and stood in line as well.

The people at the front of the line looked at them and immediately asked with a puzzled expression, "Didn't you say you weren't coming to help? When did you arrive? I haven't seen you."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately became guilty. "We...we were behind you, you didn't see us."
