Jiang Tuge glanced at Si Shuo and Si Jin. These two children were no longer as curious about sweet pastries as they were at first.

Since she arrived, she has been bringing cakes to the two children in Shangcun. As for this sugar cake, when they failed to make Poria cocos paste last time, their family ate it too.

"You can eat with peace of mind. How can our family treat your mouth badly? Besides, we don't lack this little food." Jiang Tuge said lightly, then took an egg and opened it.

Hearing this, He Peng looked at the two children. After each of them ate a piece of sugar cake, they drank the porridge in front of them. As for the remaining sugar cookies, they had no intention of eating them.

Seeing this, He Peng took another sugar cake and ate it with peace of mind.

The family finished the meal quickly. Si Mubai and He Peng took their tools and prepared to go out. Jiang Tuge frowned slightly, thought for a while, then got up and followed.

Si Mubai was a little surprised. When he went to work, Jiang Tuge never thought of sending him out, "Are you...?"

Jiang Tuge chuckled, "It's nothing, I just want to give you a warning." She raised her eyes and glanced at Si Mubai, "Yesterday you offended the villain, so be careful when you go to work today."

Si Mubai nodded, "Okay, I understand!"

Seeing that he already understood the meaning of his words, Jiang Tuge turned around and returned to the courtyard. A smart person is like this. He can find the key points in a few words.

It wasn't until Jiang Tuge returned to the courtyard that He Peng on the side reacted. After offending Yang Er yesterday, he would definitely not let it go.

Thinking of how much work he and Si Mubai had to do yesterday, He Peng's face turned ugly, "Brother Si, do you think the two of us can survive today safely?"

"That Yang Er is a man who will retaliate for his anger. We are only afraid..."

Compared to He Peng's worries, there was no sign of nervousness on Si Mubai's face, "Let's go, it will be too late if we don't leave!"

Seeing how calm Si Mubai was, He Peng felt even more panicked. Do they have to suffer Yang Er's troubles for them today? "Brother Si, aren't you worried?"

Si Mubai nodded, "There's nothing to worry about. Just take care of things as they come. What's more, today is the 15th day of the lunar month. Master Tie will come to inspect the repair status of the city wall on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month."

"Yang Er is not stupid. He will not embarrass you and me at this time."

Hearing this, He Peng nodded. Yes, Lord Iron is coming today.

No matter how powerful Yang Er is, he is just an official. But Master Tie is different, he is an official. Officials, officials, officials, naturally the officials are in front and the officials are behind.

He Peng felt much relieved when he thought that Yang Er could not continue to be rampant today.

At this time, beside the city wall, Yang Er was looking for Si Mubai and He Peng arrogantly. After a busy night, he wanted to see how these two people lay at his feet begging for mercy.

But he searched for a long time and never saw these two people.

"Si Mubai, He Peng, where are you? Get out of here quickly." Yang Er yelled with anger in his eyes.

The civilian husband on the side said, "Where can I go? Of course I have to go home. If you don't go home at night, how can you live here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Er hit the farmer who was speaking with his whip, "Bah, who do you think you are? Do you think this is your home?"

"He's just a coolie. What's the point of attacking an uncle here?" Yang Er said and continued to beat him with a whip. The civilian husband was howling and screaming after being beaten, but he didn't dare to run. The more he ran, the harder he would be beaten.

Seeing Yang Er being so cruel, the people around him all looked at him angrily. But they didn't dare to stand up. After all, they didn't know who the whip would hit next.

Simu Bai and He Peng happened to see this scene when they walked over. He Peng's temper got worse and he thought about stepping forward to stop him.

Seeing this, Si Mubai stretched out his hand to stop him, "Now is not the time for trouble!"

He Peng curled his lips, feeling very unhappy. At this time, Yang Er also retracted his whip, raised his head and saw two people standing beside him.

He crossed his arms and walked towards the two people, "Hey, aren't these Si Mubai and He Peng? You two dare to disobey me. Is the work done? You dare to go home!"

He Peng looked at Yang Er unconvinced. Just as he was about to speak out, Si Mubai beat him to it, "It's done!"

Hearing this, Yang Er's temper rose, "Fart, there's no way you two can finish it. That's a job for two people. If you really finished it, you would have been exhausted and lost your strength."

Si Mubai didn't want to continue arguing with Yang Er, so he put on the bamboo hat in his hand and said, "If you don't believe us, you can go and have a look."

After that, Si Mubai walked to the city wall and continued his work.

Yang Er rolled his eyes angrily, but he still planned to take a look. When the evidence is conclusive, even if these two people want to quibble, he can use it to beat them.

But when he walked over and took a look, he was dumbfounded. These two people actually finished yesterday's work. Moreover, the mortar is spread very evenly, and it is considered a qualified fortification even if it is placed in Beijing.

No, these two people must have remembered the wrong place. He still couldn't believe that the two of them had actually finished it in just one night, and they still had time to go back and get some sleep.

Just as he was thinking about how to cause trouble, Si Mubai's voice rang in his ears, "Captain Yang, please get out of the way, you are blocking the place where I am building."

Yang Er turned his head when he heard this. He tightened his eyes, pointed at Si Mubai and said, "You...you dare to order me, you are so impatient."

Si Mubai didn't say anything, and walked past him directly to his work place.

Yang Er looked at his condescending look, swung his whip and cursed, "Si Mubai, what kind of great person do you think you are?"

"You're just a member of the army assigned here. If you dare to ignore me, I want to see what you are capable of."

After the words fell, Yang Er left the place angrily.

Seeing him leave, Si Mubai breathed a sigh of relief. Today's test is over. Although he looked down on Yang Er, he still knew that people had to bow their heads under the roof.

On the other side, Jiang Tuge entered the space after seeing off Simubai.

Looking at the growing crops in the space, she raised the corners of her lips. The next thing she has to do is move the vegetables and fruits in the space to the cellar.

This way, whatever is needed is always in the cellar. This is convenient and will not arouse suspicion from others.

She was holding a bamboo basket and was about to pick some peppers when she heard Si Shuo's cold voice in the yard, "Who are you? This is my house. You can't come in. I don't know you."
