    He Yufeng also nced at He Dahai. He blocked He Dahai’s vicious gaze and said to Su Li, “Let’s go in!”


    There was no need to care about people like He Dahai. He could not do anything to them. No matter how much hatred he had in his heart, he could not do anything to them.


    Su Li nodded. “Yes! I haven’t been back for the past few days. I don’t know what happened to my house!”


    The lock on the door was not broken. Su Li took out her key and opened the courtyard door. She reached out and pushed the door open.


    When she saw the mess in the courtyard, it was as if the house had been looted.


    Su Li picked up the dustpan under her feet. Her face turned cold when she saw everything in front of her. Everything at home was either done by He Dahai or those people in the old residence.


    Fortunately, before she went out, she knew that there would be some people who woulde and make a mess, so she had put away the things she needed. Otherwise, there would probably be nothing left at home.


    Su Ze, who was standing behind her, also saw the mess in the house and said loudly, “What’s going on? Did a thiefe into the house?!”


    His sister had only been back to their maternal house for a few days. How did the house be like this? If there was no one at home for a long time, wouldn’t the house be set on fire?


    Su Li sneered. “With such a messy appearance, isn’t it obvious that a thief has entered! ”


    Don’t let her know who it is, or she’ll make their lives miserable.


    However, her small dpidated house was really too lousy. It couldn’t even resist a few thieves and they could easily enter the courtyard to cause damage.


    “Hurry up and pack up. Otherwise, we won’t be able to sleep at night,” Su Li said.


    The few of them worked for a long time and finally tidied up the house. Su Li even took out the nkets to be sunned.


    He Qingyao and He Qingmu almost copsed to the ground. Initially, Su Li wanted them to rest, but they insisted on helping, so Su Li allowed them to.


    He Qingmu mumbled, “I saw a big rat in our room just now. I even knocked my knee when I was chasing it.”


    He Qingyao patted the dust off his body. “I told you not to chase after it, but you insisted. Look at you, covered in dust.”


    He Qingmu said nonchntly, “Who asked it to pee on my nket? If I don’t chase after it, I’ll be letting myself down.”


    Su Li smiled when she heard their conversation. It was normal for there to be rats in their house. Last time, she had even seen a rat run past her feet with her own eyes.


    “Alright,e and have some fruit tea.” Su Li served the fruit tea.


    The fruits were from the space. She secretly took some out. She didn’t take many out, so she should not be suspected.


    Fruit tea?


    He Qingyao and the others’ eyes lit up when they heard that.


    “Mother, are you making delicious food again?”


    Su Li handed them a ss each. “Come and try it.”


    He Qingyao and He Qingmu took it and tasted it carefully. Su Ze drank it all in one gulp. He was really too thirsty.


    “Are you thirsty? Drink the fruit tea I made.” Su Li handed the water to He Yufeng.


    He Yufeng reached out to take it. He took a sip of the fruit tea. It tasted good.


    Su Li asked expectantly, “How does it taste?”


    “It’s delicious,” He Yufeng said.


    Su Ze suggested, “Sister, let’s make the wall and door in the courtyard. This way, if we’re not at home, we won’t be afraid of peopleing in. The wall and door don’t look very strong now. Others can easily climb over the wall and enter.”


    Su Li shook her head and said, “There’s no hurry. Let’s build the house first before talking about the wall.”


    Her goal was not as simple as the wall and door. She wanted to change this house. She did not want to stay in this small dpidated house for another day.


    Suzette nodded. “That’s true. We still have to fix the house first.


    “Rest for today. Tomorrow, get your brother-inw to talk to the vige chief about repairing the house,” Su Li said.


    They had just returned today. Coupled with the fact that they had been busy for so long, everyone was tired. They still had to eat something to replenish their strength.


    Su Li went to the kitchen to prepare the food they were going to eatter. He Yufeng took his tools and went up the mountain. He knew that Su Li liked to eat meat, so he wanted to see if he could catch some small animals.


    Su Li had just finished cooking when He Yufeng returned with a wild rabbit.


    “You went up the mountain?” Su Li asked.


    He Yufeng exined, “I was just looking around the periphery and happened to catch a little rabbit. Let’s eat rabbit meat tonight. It’s a wee for your brother.”


    Su Li looked at the fat rabbit and almost drooled. She nodded and said,


    “Alright, kill the rabbit first. I’ll do it tonight.’


    At night, Su Li stir-fried the rabbit. The fragrance wafted to the next house, and a series of curses could be heard.


    However, this did not affect Su Li’s family at all. They were surrounding the table and eating rabbit meat happily, as well as the meat loaf that Su Li had specially made.


    The next morning, Su Li rushed He Yufeng to look for He Yuan to talk about the house. She couldn’t wait any longer. She only wanted He Yufeng to quickly get him to prepare for the construction of the house. Then, they could pick an auspicious day to start digging.


    It would be best if they could live in a house before the new year. From the time they start the construction, they could finish it in 20 days. They would have to spend some time renovating and decorating the rooms too. If they started work now, they should be able to live in it!


    He Yufeng was originally working on the Rubik’s Cube and was only halfway done with the things he was working on. He hated putting down the half-finished product to do other things the most, but he also knew Su Li’s urgent mood, so he put down the things in his hand and walked towards the vige chief’s house.


    He Yuan was originally munching on melon seeds. This was his son’s filial gift to him. Otherwise, he would not be willing to buy them.


    When he saw He Yufenging over, he said in surprise, “Didn’t you go back to your wife’s mother’s house with your wife?”


    As Su Li’s family was not at home, his wife had not had any work to do for the past few days. She had been nagging at home all day. His ears were about to get calluses. It looked like he was about to be free.


    He Yufeng said, “I just came back today.”


    He Yuan suppressed the joy in his heart and said, “Oh, why are you looking for


    As the saying went, one would not visit without a reason. He Yufeng definitely did note for anything good at this time.


    “We’re nning to build a house. Vige Chief, please help use up with a document, ” He Yufeng said.


    Building a house in the vige required a document from the vige chief. It meant that the vige agreed for them to build a house. Without this document, the vige could tear down the house at any time in the future because it was against thew.


    However, one could only build a house on their ownnd. If they wanted to expand or there was no ce to build it, they had to spend money to buy a homestead from the vigers.


    However, the homestead in the vige would usually not be sold to others unless the poption of that family was especially small and they would not need these plots ofnd in the future. It was better to exchange them for silver..
