Domineering space queen

Chapter 24 New Home Completed
There are no annoying flies, and Shutong is also happy. Every day, he goes up to the mountains to hunt, or goes down to the river to fish, taste all kinds of game, and improve his abilities by the way. The small life is very nourishing.

Back then, she had promised the original owner that she would fulfill her wish, but in fact the original owner did not ask for revenge on the Zhang family who took over her property.

Maybe in the little girl's heart, it is impossible for her to keep her father and mother's inheritance as an orphan.

In fact, this is the practice of this era. If the head of a family dies, the family is almost in decline.

The remaining orphans and widowed mothers will not have a good life. The tribe will come forward and force the women to remarry. Most of the family property will be divided by the tribe, and the remaining children will also be arranged by the tribe.

If a woman is stubborn and unwilling to remarry, it won't last long, and relatives and clansmen will eat up the big family like locusts. You bite, I bite, and the family's property is divided up.

Zhang Xiaoyue's relatives went to the field, and Zhang Laotou's family moved into her house. People in the village were only envious, but no one thought it was wrong.

The original owner was dubbed a funeral star again, and rushed to the dilapidated house to fend for herself. Apart from lamenting her bad life, no one would force her to stand up for her.

Now that Shutong is here, some people will say that this is against the rules, and she should not have private property as an orphan.

In exchange for the original owner, the end result is that the property will be robbed again. Old man Zhang's family is her grandfather and uncle, so they can make the decision.

The little girl is lucky, she will go back to work as a cow and a horse for the Zhang family, and she can only leave when she is old enough to marry.

Whether you marry well or not is fate. If you have a good fate, you will survive. If you are not good, you will jump from one fire pit to another.

It's a pity that it was Shutong who came with supernatural powers, and things changed. She beat up the entire Zhang family by herself, and even the patriarch didn't dare to stand out.

The villagers can be regarded as watching the excitement, human nature is greedy!They can't take a share of the pie, and it's fun to see the Zhang family's misfortune.

So Shutong, an orphan girl, lived a comfortable life like this.

As for her new home, there is no need to worry about it at all, old man Li is fully responsible.

Speaking of this old man, he also has a name and surname, because he was born in the great cold season, so he was called Li Han!

His ancestors used to be in charge of the wealthy Li family, but later encountered wars, the main family fell, and the servants scattered.

The imperial power alternated, and those who had been servants were also chartered to restore their freedom, and their descendants became commoners.

When he was a child, he grew up with his grandfather who was in charge, and learned a few tricks.

When he was young, he found a job in a silk shop. After marrying a wife and having children, he encountered misfortune one after another.

First, there was a flood in his hometown, and he fled all the way. More than half of his family members were killed or injured. The two eldest daughters were also sold. After finally coming here, his wife died of illness and his only son was dying.

He was in his early fifties at the time, and no one was willing to hire him as a foreigner. He had no choice but to build a shack by the bamboo forest and weave bamboo baskets to make ends meet.

Because of his son's illness, he was exhausted physically and mentally, but it was useless if no one appreciated his ability. At this time, Shutong appeared.

He helped him a few times, and he was generous without asking for anything in return. When he met such a good person, Li Han made up his mind to follow her.

Knowing that the master is an orphan, Li Han strengthened his belief in protecting her.

The little master is good at everything, but she is too generous. If someone says something casually, she will take out the money. How can this be done?

Don't let the master be deceived!
That day Li Han took over Shutong's purse, and seeing that there were actually 68 taels of silver in it, he was moved by his master's trust in him, while clenched his fists tightly, not to let his master's property be cheated.

Follow up the construction of the new house all the way, and look around for suitable and reasonably priced furniture, trying to create a perfect home for Shutong.

Suddenly a month passed, and at the west end of Wangyue Village, a brand new small courtyard was erected on a high ground.

One bright, two dark, three tile-roofed houses, small and practical, the bedroom is furnished with canopy beds, wardrobes, and dressing tables.

The kitchen is connected to the bathroom, cooking here, the wall on the other side is also hot, and the bamboo pipe connected to the past saves the trouble of carrying water back and forth.

Another small room is placed with tables, chairs and benches, which can be regarded as a meeting place and can be used as a storage room in the future.

Outside the room is a huge courtyard. The high wall of crushed stone and plaster cuts off the prying eyes from the outside. The path paved with bluestone slabs extends all the way to the solid gate to prevent the ground from being muddy when it is cloudy and rainy.

"Not bad! Not bad!" Under the introduction of Li Han, Shutong visited his new home and was unexpectedly satisfied.

"Better than I thought, thank you!"

Shutong turned to ask Wang Dazhu, "Uncle Wang, the construction is so good, is the wages less?"

Wang Dazhu looked strangely at Li Han, who was staring at him like a tiger. With such a shrewd butler, he didn't get much money this time.

She wanted to ask for more money, but her housekeeper was very knowledgeable and couldn't think of a reason!
"Wages! Just right! Just right!"

Shutong noticed that he was not in high spirits, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Li has worked hard too, do you have any extra money?"

Li Han quickly handed over the purse that he had prepared, "Miss, please call me Li Han, these are the remaining 56 taels, please keep them!"

There are still so many?Shutong was surprised, "There are a lot of things in the house, Uncle Li, didn't you give me money?"

Li Han said seriously: "Miss, we don't owe any money, and, whether you accept it or not, in short, I must be your housekeeper, and I have already moved my family nearby!"

"housekeeper?"

Shutong was speechless, "Whatever you want, but let's talk about it first, I won't look for you, you can't disturb me!"

"Congratulations, niece, you have accepted a capable housekeeper!" After the new house was inspected, Wang Dazhu greeted his subordinates and prepared to leave.

"The house is finished. If you have any dissatisfaction, niece, come to me. I'll go back first!"

"Wait, that Butler Li, where do you live?" Now that the younger brother has been accepted, he can't ignore it! "

Li Han lowered his hands and replied, "Miss Hui, I built a shack in the woods not far away. If you need something, just shout and I'll hear you!"

"Living in a straw shed, isn't it good!" Shutong shook her head, she was one of her own after all, so she couldn't be treated harshly!

In the end, Wang Dazhu not only got Shutong five taels of silver for drinks, but also took a new job, building a house for Li Han not far away.

Of course, these were all paid by Shutong. Li Han was so moved that he burst into tears and tried his best to stop him, but the little master directly gave Wang Dazhu 20 taels.

"Brother Wang, ten taels of silver is enough, you can build an ordinary courtyard!"

He decided to keep the remaining twelve taels for his master, but Shutong said, "You can get some furniture for the money first, and I'll give it to you if it's not enough!"

"Enough! Enough!" Li Han nodded hastily, "Miss, money is not spent like this, and the days to come will be long!"

Shu Tong shook her purse, said with a smile: "If you don't have enough money, you can earn more, what are you afraid of!"

Throwing it directly into Li Han's arms, "It was agreed last time. After the new home is finished, I will invite everyone to dinner. I don't understand, so I will leave it to you!"

Li Han felt sorry for her but dared not persuade her anymore, and sighed, "How many tables do you plan to invite?"

Shutong blinked, "They're all from the same village, so let's invite them all. If I don't have enough money, I'll figure out a way. You just make arrangements, and it must be a bustling event!"

Li Han was weeping, and there were only 30 taels left. It looked like a lot, but according to Miss Zhao's spending, I'm afraid it won't take long for it to be used up! "

"Miss, you are young, so I will do things like earning money, but you must learn to be frugal, and you still need to be careful in living!"

Li Han's earnestness is useless when it comes to Shutong, he smiled and said: "I'm good at hunting, and I'll make money selling some wild game later. By the way, we must find a good cook for our treats, so that everyone can have a good meal!"

The master gave orders, what else did Li Han have to say, but fortunately, he had seen Shutong come out of Mang Mountain a few times, carrying wild game.

"Niece, Uncle knows that you are strong, but there are too many dangers in Mang Mountain, so you should avoid going there!"

Wang Dazhu knew that Zhang Xiaoyue's father died in Mangshan Mountain, so he said a lot.

"Yes, miss, you are young, don't go to dangerous places!" Wang Dazhu said, Li Han hurriedly persuaded.

"Okay, I know, just take care of yourself! I'm leaving!"

Shutong couldn't bear their nagging, but after all, they were doing it for her own good, so she had to slip away if she couldn't turn her back!
