Chapter 385: Chapter 385: In a Few Months Their Young Miss Will Come to Stay

On the second day, just as dawn was breaking, Yang Wuzhu led fifty strong laborers and waited on the depression that Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming had purchased.

It wasn’t long before the entire Yang Family arrived, not just Yang Ming’s family—his eldest uncle’s, third uncle’s, and fourth uncle’s families were all there, except for the children too young to work; everyone was present.

The men dug the earth while the women helped with cooking; the united front warmed Yang Wuzhu’s heart.

What was going on? He had never seen such a scene before. Even when they had a minor fall-out over dividing the family assets, it wasn’t like this, not even when they worked the fields together before the separation.

Hearing the laughter occasionally emerging from the newly built huts, could this also be Yang Ming’s wife’s doing? What exactly had she said to everyone that made them laugh out loud?

He couldn’t help thinking that he should bring his own wife over tomorrow to experience this atmosphere. Surprisingly, seeing so many relatives had stirred some excitement in him, and he worked even faster, determined to contribute as much effort as everyone else.

And so, with everyone’s collective efforts, the construction of the water pond that Xiaoxiao had planned began with a bang.

Even Xiaoxiao herself hadn’t anticipated that by creating the pond, the other depressions would be filled in, inadvertently killing two birds with one stone.

The pond hadn’t been under construction for many days when the Village Chief came to visit. Seeing Village Chief approaching the depression, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming felt a little anxious.

"Husband, he isn’t going to stop us from digging, is he?"

"He can’t, we’ve already bought the land and the land deed is in our hands; he has no say in what we do now."

Although Silver comforted her like this, Xiaoxiao was still somewhat worried, wondering what the Village Chief’s visit was all about.

"Let’s go over and take a look."

"Okay."

They stopped their work and walked over to the Village Chief.

"Village Chief Uncle, did you come over here to look for us for something?"

"Yang Ming, Yang Ming’s wife, I just came to ask when you can vacate the room you’re renting for storing pickled vegetables? It’s already due."

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s worries eased. So, it was about this matter—as long as he wasn’t stopping them from digging, it was fine.

Lately, she had been so preoccupied with excavating the pond that she’d put off dealing with the pickled vegetables and had forgotten about the deadline. She didn’t expect Village Chief Uncle would come to remind them.

"Village Chief Uncle, what if you could give us a few days’ grace? For the extra days, I’ll pay the silver as agreed."

"Yang Ming, to tell you the truth, the house has just been sold to Manager Li."

""

Xiaoxiao thought that paying for a few extra days would resolve the matter, but she didn’t expect that the house was sold. Why did Manager Li have to come and clash with them the moment he arrived?

While she was contemplating this, she heard Village Chief continue, "They want to renovate that house, and in a few months their young mistress is planning to move in. You see... "

"Village Chief Uncle, please tell Manager Li to rest easy; we’ll vacate the house by tomorrow."

"Alright, then I’ll be heading back now." Hearing Yang Ming’s response, Village Chief waved his hand and turned to leave.

After Village Chief left, Yang Ming saw his wife standing there, lost in thought. His wife was probably worrying over nothing again, "Wife, what are you thinking about?"

Snapped out of her reverie by her husband’s question, Xiaoxiao replied, "I was just wondering, why would Manager Li’s young mistress leave behind her comfortable life and come to reside in the countryside?"

""

His wife indeed was overthinking things.
