After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

They knew all the ins and outs of this. They felt a little sympathetic towards the Lin siblings after the village head had done this, but no one said anything on the surface.

Although Lin Chuyi and the others are pitiful, they have nothing to do with them after all, so there is no need to offend the village head for them.

Besides, this house is public property of the village, and the money the village head gets will be distributed to the villagers. If the village head asks for more, everyone can get more.

From another perspective, the head of the village is seeking benefits for them. It is a good opportunity. They are not the bad guys anyway. Moreover, if they ask for help now, it will be the collective interest that will be harmed. It is not worth it to offend the whole village for a few irrelevant people.

The villagers quickly weighed the pros and cons and turned their eyes away from them. Some gathered in groups of three or four to chat, while others turned around to look at the wild boar. No one raised any questions and everyone pretended to be confused, even though they knew the truth.

The village head continued to speak when he saw that everyone had moved away from them.

"How do you plan to build this house? Let me give you an estimate of the cost."

Lin Chuyi looked around the surroundings, roughly estimated the scope of the land allocated to her by the village head, and smiled with satisfaction.

"I want to build a brick house, in the style of a house with a front door, like the ones in town."

Lin Chuyi didn't know much about ancient architecture. The ones she was more familiar with were the Forbidden City and the Siheyuan. The Forbidden City here corresponded to the Imperial Palace. She didn't have the courage to replicate an Imperial Palace. That would be simply courting death. She hadn't lived enough.

The Forbidden City is not a good choice, but you can try the Siheyuan. The architectural style here is very similar to the structure of the Siheyuan.

She had a plan to build a house before, and thought about buying some materials in the system mall later, making some improvements based on the current era background, drawing the blueprints, and then taking the blueprints to discuss the house building matters with the village head.

Unexpectedly, plans could not keep up with changes. After a trip, the house was gone, so I had to move the plan forward.

The village head's mouth twitched when he heard this. Of course he knew what a "house" was. It was the house where the rich people in the city lived. It was surrounded by houses on all sides to form a large courtyard. It had its own gate and courtyard and was very impressive.

The question is, there are only four people in your family, do you really need to build such a big house?

The head of the village thought so in his heart and asked the same question.

"Four... Um, Chuyi, there are only four of you siblings in your family, why do you want to build a house like that? Not only can you not live in it all, but it's also a waste of money."

"No, we need four rooms for the four of us, including a main room, utility room, storage room, kitchen, bathroom, and a separate study. When I save enough money in the future, I will send my younger brothers and sisters to study in academy, so it won't work without a separate study."

Lin Chu counted the number of rooms needed one by one, but it seemed like he had missed something. He couldn't remember it for a moment, so he simply gave up thinking about it.

"There are other rooms that have their own uses, but I can't think of them right now. So, when I have time, I will use charcoal to draw a rough sketch of the house I want. Then, I'll trouble the village head to help me check it."

Lin Chuyi looked at the head of the village with a serious expression and smiled.

The village head saw that she didn't look like she was joking and sighed softly.

"Girl, do you know that according to your construction method, it will cost at least seventy or eighty taels to build this house? Where are you going to get the money?"

The villagers who were still paying attention to the movement here took a deep breath. They had been digging in the soil for a living all their lives, and the farthest place they had been to was the town. They had no idea what the house that the head of the village and Lin Chuyi mentioned looked like, but they heard clearly about the blue brick and tile house and the seventy or eighty taels of silver.

That's a brick and tile house. There are only two families in the village who can afford to build a brick and tile house. Could it be that this little girl is used to living in a brick and tile house and thinks it's easy to build one?

The head of the village said that it would cost at least seventy or eighty taels to build the house. My God, they had never touched so much money in their lives.

This little girl must have gone crazy. What nonsense is she talking about in broad daylight?

So some villagers couldn't help but make fun of it.

"Si Ya, it's not even dark yet, are you having a sweet dream already?"

When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lin Chuyi smiled at the man and did not refute him.

Seeing Lin Chuyi's calm and composed look, the villager couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she really had so much money? The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Si Ya, your village head grandfather said that it would cost eighty taels to build this house. Where did you get so much money?"

Lin Chuyi replied with a smile: "A few days ago, I went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and brought them to the town to sell. I met a medicine shop owner who said that it was ginseng. The owner took the ginseng and gave me fifty taels of silver."

Everyone gasped. What kind of luck is this? Can you just go up the mountain and dig ginseng? The owner of the medicine store is really a good person. He didn't see that they were children and cheated them.

That's fifty taels! They could not save so much money even if they worked hard on the land for decades, but they could earn fifty taels just by going up the mountain. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.

No wonder they have enough money to buy new clothes and are generous enough to build brick and tile houses. So that's why.

But they are really unlucky. They have just earned the money and haven't even had time to warm it up yet, but they have to spend it.

This nice house was destroyed by a wild boar. What a shame! There is no place to seek redress.

When everyone thought about it this way, they felt a lot better.

People are often like this. They will often sympathize with and even help those who are not as well off as themselves, but if the other person suddenly lives better than themselves, they will always feel unbalanced.

Lin Chuyi naturally knew this truth. She was now weak and alone, and it was not appropriate for her to be too ostentatious. She had originally planned to rebuild the house in the future, but she did not expect that plans could not keep up with changes.

A wild boar suddenly broke into her house, so she took advantage of the situation to move the money across the border and build a new house. Moreover, with the experience of killing the wild boar as a prelude, she could use the excuse of going into the mountains to hunt to develop her own power. It was like killing three birds with one stone.

"Girl, this house of yours will cost at least seventy or eighty taels of silver. Even if you put all your money in, it still won't be enough."

The head of the village was not dissatisfied with Lin Chuyi for exposing the matter. Instead, he began to consider the problem of insufficient funds. If Lin Chuyi insisted on having so many rooms, it was not impossible. He could just build a smaller house.

"Hmm...what about the wild boar on the ground? If we sell the wild boar, that should be enough, right?"

Lin Chuyi wasn't quite sure about the prices here, but such a big pig should be able to sell for a lot of money, right?

"Pork is 25 wen per catty, while wild boar meat is more expensive, about 35 wen per catty. After cleaning this pig, there will probably be 400 catties left, which can be sold for about 14 taels. This...even if the wild boar is included, it is still not enough." The head of the village helped Lin Chuyi to do the math again.
