The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 75 - Renovating the Sparrow Courtyard (1)_1

They could completely encircle a small yard with a hedge, and build a simple kitchen with wooden boards.

In the other room, San Ya wanted to speak, but Si Ya nudged her and told her to sleep.

San Ya also thought there might be someone listening outside and decided not to speak.

That night, many people suffered from insomnia for most of it.

The next morning, Pei Qin, full of energy, woke everyone up, including Lady Fang, to go to the market.

The mothers got up, didn’t do any work, washed their faces, got ready, and left the house together.

Lady Zhu got up with a scowl on her face, watching them leave, “Now they have somewhere to spend their hidden money!”

Lady Fang also asked Pei Qin how much money they had made altogether, and upon hearing it was more than two taels, she couldn’t help but feel a mixture of joy and heartache.

“From now on, we’ll live separately and look only ahead!

Live our own lives!

For ourselves!

Work hard to make money, and our better days will be waiting ahead for us!” Pei Qin declared with spirited enthusiasm.

Her words filled Lady Fang and the others with zeal and anticipation.

However, it would have been more convincing if Pei Qin hadn’t been pointing at the breakfast stalls.

“Come on!

Let’s eat first!

After we’ve eaten, we’ll go buy some rice, noodles, oil, salt, and such, and then get someone to fix up the house!” Pei Qin went over and got them each two buns and a bowl of noodle soup.

Si Ya was about to complain about her profligate spending, but since they didn’t have any dry food, she could only grumble discontentedly, “With coarse grain buns available, you just had to buy buns, spending several more copper coins!”

“Money is only worth more when you spend it!” Pei Qin urged Lady Fang and the others to eat quickly.

After eating, they bought some rice, millet, as well as sorghum flour and cornmeal from the grain shop, but Lady Fang didn’t let them buy any wheat flour.

Once they had bought all the oil, salt, and such, the mothers hurried back home.

Pei Qin went straight to the village and found two uncles who did masonry work to rebuild the house.

After gossiping about the specifics of their family division and hearing they would be paid, the two uncles came over with bricks and wooden boards.

Seeing her actually smash the wall and open the door to the outside, Old Pei and Pei Houli both had ugly expressions on their faces.

Pei Houli came over to speak.

“After the division, the eldest branch has no right to interfere in the second branch’s affairs!

Whatever we want to do, it’s none of your business!” Pei Qin gestured with her hand, letting the two uncles continue.

Lady Zhu wanted to curse on this side, but Lady Chen reminded her that there were people in the house, and if they started cursing now, letting everyone know that they gave nothing to the second branch when dividing, they themselves would be cursed.

Only then did Lady Zhu hold back her voice.

Indeed, quite a few villagers came over to watch the excitement, inquiring about what was happening.

Pei Qin simply said they had divided the family and didn’t elaborate further.

Many people were concerned about the matter of inheriting the family line, and some even asked with malicious intent.

Pei Qin gave a cold glance and ignored them, continuing with her work.

The house was built with large mud bricks, so carving a doorframe wasn’t too difficult.

By noon, the doorway had been carved out, and they removed the door frame and door panels.

The two doorways inside were then blocked up with bricks.
