"Someone, acquire the Wanjia store and drive down the price."
How could one miss the best century? Wanjia was already under immense pressure and now faced an earthquake; the common people had no place to live, let alone indulge in shopping. This was the perfect time to buy at a low price.
The servant took the order; the master's judgment was always correct. Since they needed to lower the price, they had plenty of capable people for that task. A miserly personality was most suitable for a steward.
After issuing several commands, rumors began to spread around Wandehai that the two young masters of Wanjia were not his biological sons.
Wandehai's character was questionable, and Madam Wan, unable to bear loneliness, was no saint either.
This woman was truly ruthless; she could not bear Wandehai's child herself and would not allow anyone else to do so.
With one dose of medicine, Wandehai had been childless for many years, demonstrating her cruel methods.
If she could use such vicious tactics against her partner, what would she do to others?
Originally planning to use a colorless and tasteless abortion drug, it turned out it wasn't necessary. The smile on Madam Wan's lips grew more sinister, becoming colder under the sunlight.
Ha ha, with such malicious methods, Wandehai would taste betrayal from those close to him; he would never be able to father children, all thanks to Madam Wan.
When he learned this news, what would he feel? For a man, this was a lifelong humiliation.
If he did not act, it would be fine; but once he did act, it would be a fatal blow. Yes, perhaps for Wandehai as a businessman, money was important, but for a man, his ability mattered more.
Once that ability was lost...
At the same time, at Liu Qingxi's home,
Upon hearing from Liu about the division of the Liu Family, she was shocked: "Aunt, this can't be true! This big kid is busy building houses and making a living; does he even have time to think about this?"
Liu waved his hand dismissively, a look of disdain flashing across his face: "You don't know; it's actually true. Your Village Chief just got called away; your family really knows how to stir things up."
Liu Qingxi: "..."
However, this is just like something the Wang family would do; nothing is impossible with that shrew.
Honestly, don't doubt it, Cao Cao has arrived. Just now, the newly separated Liu Laosi and Liu Laowu came over carrying something.
Dressed in tattered and dirty clothes, carrying a basket full of clinking bottles and jars, they looked just like beggars.
Liu Laosi stood in front of Liu Qingxi, suppressing his inferiority and awkwardness: "Qingxi, we want to help you!"
Indeed, they had never been so determined before.
"Fourth Uncle, have you thought this through?" Liu Qingxi never expected these two kind but stubborn uncles to have such a practical realization.
The middle-aged man nodded heavily: "Yes! We will definitely work hard without any special arrangements; we won't embarrass ourselves."
The two younger cousins looked at her with hope. To be honest, the people from the Liu Family's Fourth Branch and Fifth Branch were quite decent.
Compared to Wang's selfishness, they maintained their sincerity; compared to the Qin Family's inherent bias disguised as fairness, they were more honest.
"However..."
Liu Laosi felt a pang in his heart and immediately became anxious. He hurriedly asked, "However, what? Are we not allowed to help?"
"No, no, no!" Liu Qingxi quickly waved her hands. "I didn't mean that; I just wondered if Aunt Wang would come looking for trouble later."
It wasn't that she was afraid of Wang; she simply didn't want to deal with her. After all, living in this era, even after separating households and establishing independent registrations, blood ties still existed.
Liu Qingxi knew that her cold demeanor towards Wang, even if reasonable, might not be accepted by others.
For Liu Laosi and Liu Laowu, Wang remained a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.
Unexpectedly, the honest and simple Liu Laosi broke from his usual demeanor and patted his chest in assurance: "Don't worry; she won't cause any trouble."
He would not allow the Wang family to disrupt their lives any further. True feelings are revealed in times of hardship, and during such times, the saying "a sister-in-law is like a mother" was completely wrong.
This sister-in-law, Wang, was not only unlike a mother but was rather dangerous.
Today, he sincerely felt that there was no connection between them and Wang.
"Qingxi, don't worry. If she dares to come, I'll kick her out and beat her until she's scared."
An honest person can be the most terrifying when angered, like Liu Laosi.
Wang was not in front of him, but thinking of her made his eyes bloodshot, his fists clenched tightly, veins bulging, and his teeth gritted as if he wanted to hit someone.
Liu Qingxi was momentarily stunned. Could it really be this thorough? From the eyes of the two big men, she saw an unprecedented determination.
"Alright, Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, my place isn't big—just two rooms. For now, let's all squeeze in together. Aunt Four and Aunt Five will share a room with me, and you can stay with Yan."
Liu Qingxi was not a pushover, but at that moment, she genuinely wanted to take in her two uncles.
She hoped her choice would not be wrong; she just didn't know that in the future they would become her right-hand men, completely shedding the qualities of farmers.
It was hard to tell that they had once been farmers facing the dirt with their backs turned to the sky.
Liu Laosi and Liu Laowu had tears in their eyes as they suppressed their emotions. They put down their burdens and took on all the chores in Liu Qingxi's yard.
Zhang and Zhao were also busy, working much more efficiently than Liu Qingxi.
The happiest were Liu Qinglian and Liu Qingju. Upon learning they would temporarily stay here for the next few days with their idol, they cheered loudly.
"That's great! That's great! Second Sister, wherever you go from now on, we will follow you."
The two girls had dark complexions and dry hair but bright eyes filled with admiration as they each clung to Liu Qingxi's arms.
"No problem, no problem. However, if you want to build a house, take out what I've taught you and think carefully about what kind of house you want."
This was just the opportunity for training. Although my current courtyard is simple, it is sturdy and durable, with various flowers blooming all year round. I have no intention of moving.
Liu Laosi and Liu Laowu are different; they need to build a new house. Since they are rebuilding, it naturally needs to be designed well.
The two girls had their chance for training. For several months, Liu Qingxi shared a lot of knowledge about architecture with them.
This included how to determine the size of rooms, how to set up doors and windows, and how to arrange their positions and heights to ensure safety and stability while allowing light to come in.
She also explained how to arrange kitchens, bedrooms, and guest rooms for reasonable layouts, making them convenient for use, and what kind of complementary items should be placed around them.
What about arranging a more luxurious house similar to a villa?
Although there were no examples, the theoretical knowledge imparted was nearly sufficient; what was lacking now was practical training.
After listening to Liu Qingxi's arrangements, the two girls' eyes sparkled. "Second Sister? Can we really do it?"
"Why can't you? Why not ask your parents for their opinions? You need to believe in yourselves."
Hearing the sisters' conversation from afar, Liu Laosi's voice came through.
