Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 602 support

Zhao Xiaoli just smiled, "I’d rather support you; it puts my mind at ease."

Old Yang glanced at this girl. He hadn’t noticed her before, but he now realized she was a thorough person.

Several people walked into the house together, but it wasn’t the room they were staying in. The place had never been heated, so it was even colder.

"Do you study here?"

Guodong scratched his head. "There’s no choice. In this cold weather, no one wants to go outside, and we live separately by gender. The three of us had to clean up this room."

Jiang Xinyu looked at the frostbite on their hands with distress.

"I’ll ask if there are any dried eggplant stems later; if you boil them in water to wash your hands and feet, the frostbite won’t itch."

"Aunt Jiang, it’s okay. We’re used to it. It’s not cold or itchy now. I suspect it’ll itch when the weather gets warmer."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, "We still need to find eggplant stems; they’ll definitely help. If there aren’t any here, I’ll find a way."

"Let’s go. Let’s all go see the village chief." Old Yang didn’t want Jiang Xinyu to stay here; it wasn’t any warmer than outside.

The three looked at Jiang Xinyu with excitement.

She quickly took out the soft mantou from her bag and handed it to them, "Eat them quickly; they won’t taste good once they’re hard."

They devoured the mantou and sausage, gulping them down.

Then, the five of them walked to the village chief’s house.

Seeing their situation, Jiang Xinyu didn’t care about the favor she owed Old Yang.

"Master Yang, I’ll leave this to you later."

"Alright, it’s no problem. I’ll handle it. Do you guys have any preferred places?"

Lv Jingchu pouted, "Uncle Yang, just as long as it’s far from the educated youth courtyard; I’m really fed up with them." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Old Yang saw the other two didn’t object, understanding they felt the same way.

"Okay, I get it."

The village chief’s house wasn’t close, so they walked slowly given Jiang Xinyu’s physical condition.

When they arrived at the village chief’s house, everyone was home at this hour, and it was mealtime for most families.

"Is Village Chief Wang at home?" Old Yang called outside. Although the door was wide open, it’s a matter of courtesy to announce oneself.

"Who’s there? Come in and sit."

Old Yang walked in front, with the other four following him.

"So it’s Old Yang! What a rare guest. Please have a seat quickly." Wang Shulin immediately stood up to warmly greet them upon seeing Old Yang.

"Village Chief Wang, finish your meal first. I’m here to ask for your help with something."

"What’s there to be polite about? Come on, get up on the kang; it’s warm there."

The three kids greeted Wang Shulin respectfully.

Jiang Xinyu just smiled.

Wang Shulin’s family sped up their eating. That was typical of people in this era—they were all very proper, not selfish or self-serving.

They quickly finished their porridge and stood up, "Old Yang, let’s talk in the room opposite."

Old Yang didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

"She’s the kids’ aunt and also my best brother’s wife. These three kids can be considered my juniors. You know me; I protect them and can’t bear to see them suffer.

So I’m asking Village Chief Wang to give them a plot of land on the west side to build a house for the kids so they can move out and live on their own."

The way Old Yang spoke directly touched Zhao Xiaoli’s heart. No one had stood up for her like this since childhood. Lv Beiguang had moved her deeply before, and now Old Yang’s words resonated with her.

She stared at Old Yang’s back, suddenly feeling how broad his shoulders were, giving her a sense of security.

"Why ask for help? Since you’re family, there’s no issue.

The land just requires fifteen yuan to be paid to the brigade. That’s easy.

"Thank you so much, Village Chief Wang. You know me, always busy. If the kids need to build a house, I’ll have to rely on you to organize and oversee it. I don’t have time to always be here."

"No problem, Old Yang has spoken, and I’ll certainly take care of it."

"Then I’ll pay the land fee now. Can we start preparations? Once spring arrives, everyone will be busy."

"Let’s go. I’ll take you to the brigade and get you the slip. Meanwhile, look over the place and decide. But it’s not suitable for building houses now; it wouldn’t be sturdy."

Lv Jingchu felt disappointed upon hearing this. She thought she could finally escape.

"Sigh, is there no other way? I truly feel for the three kids." Old Yang sighed.

"There are existing houses in the village, but they’re rundown and many people have their eyes on them."

"Then forget it; we’ll build a house for them."

Finally, the three chose a spot diagonally across from the educated youth courtyard. They truly didn’t want to interact with them.

Wang Shulin, being cunning, immediately understood what the three educated youths wanted.

Old Yang discussed with him about the type of house to be built, and they decided on a basic adobe house.

Old Yang didn’t want the three to be too conspicuous; they weren’t like Wei Kaiyun and Jiang Xinyu.

Though Wei Kaiyun had issues, Jiang Xinyu’s dealings with the three kids were genuine and without problems.

If the three of them got too much attention, Old Yang truly might not be able to take care of them.

The three weren’t dissatisfied with the adobe house. Instead, they were filled with zeal. While it couldn’t happen immediately, they had a glimmer of hope.

Wang Shulin called the village accountant and captain, and they measured the land.

"Village Chief Wang, after the thaw, let’s quickly build the house. At that time, pay people directly, one yuan a day, and please prepare the beams and frameworks. I’ll pay fifty yuan first. If it’s not enough, I’ll come over later to discuss."

"That’s easy. There’s a carpenter in the village; I’ll have him prepare things directly. We have things like straw mats, and while there’s time now, we’ll prepare them. Don’t worry, I’ll keep everything at my place first."

"Village Chief Wang is truly righteous. I’ll rely on you; I can’t trouble two masters with one task, but I can’t provide meals."

"Alright, there are a few masons in the village, so don’t worry and leave it to me. They’ll definitely be able to move in by July."

"That’s great. I’m far away and can’t always look after the three of them, so please treat them like your nephews and nieces, correcting them as needed."

"That’s not necessary; Guodong is a good kid. Rest assured, I’ll check on the educated youth courtyard."

Everyone understood without speaking too plainly—they knew what it meant, and that was enough.
