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

Lin Chuyi counted out two hundred strings of money and put them into the original sackcloth bag.

"I will take this money to the village head tomorrow along with the blueprints for the new house. That way, there will be about 60 or 70 taels in total. The house can be built first, and if it's not enough, we can add more. It's all copper coins, so it's convenient for the village head to settle the wages for those who helped build the house. You can keep the rest of the money for household expenses."

"No, no, this money is too much. I dare not take it. Our house is so shabby. What if it is lost? You should keep it, second sister. If you leave it with me, I am afraid I will not be able to sleep well."

Lin Sanya was speaking from the heart. She had never touched so much money in her life. She was really afraid of being asked to manage the money.

Lin Chuyi didn't force her. He told her to take it slow. Once the house was built and she had adapted to life at home, he could then hand over the housekeeping duties to her.

"Okay then, I'll keep the money for now."

Lin Sanya went out and got another cloth bag and put the string of money in it.

Lin Chuyi took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and handed them to Lin Sanya.

"Why give me money?"

"Silver is small in weight and convenient to carry with you. I will be going out frequently in the future, and it is not safe to keep all the money with me. You can take some so that if there is an emergency at home, we can always respond to it."

"where are you going?"

"Master taught me a lot of skills, I can't just bury them. I said I would lead you to live a good life, and that was not just empty talk. But I can't tell you how to do it for now."

"Will it be dangerous? If it is dangerous, then don't do it. It would be great if our family can live together in peace. After we build the house, we will still have a lot of money, enough for us to live a good life."

Lin Sanya looked at Lin Chuyi with worry in her eyes. Rather than letting her second sister go out and take risks alone, she hoped that her second sister would be fine.

Lin Chuyi knew that Lin Sanya was really worried about her, but whether the mission was completed or not determined her life span. She wanted to live longer, and she couldn't ruin her future for a moment of comfort.

"Don't worry, sis. I'm just going out to do some small business. I'm a law-abiding person. There won't be any danger."

After a pause, Lin Chuyi looked at Lin Sanya and continued speaking.

"You think our life is good now, but I don't think so. We are just a few children, but we have to build a big brick and tile house. Many people in the village are watching us. If we keep it the same, how long do you think we can keep this house?"

Lin Sanya was silent. If Lin Chuyi wanted the mission to proceed smoothly, she had to stabilize the rear first. When she was not at home, Lin Sanya was the one in charge of the family, and she had to make Lin Sanya agree with her.

"Those so-called relatives can abandon us for a little benefit, and they can overturn the previous decision for greater benefits. When the Lin family members come with the family tree and filial piety to make a fuss, how will you choose?"

"Should I return to my roots and continue to be enslaved, or should I resist to the end and end up having my house forcibly taken away? Don't tell me there's a village head who can help me. His last name is Liu, not Lin. He can be dismissed with just a family affair."

It takes a heavy hammer to beat a drum. Lin Chuyi doesn't mind letting Lin Sanya face the reality directly.

Lin Sanya was confused. She had never thought about what Lin Chuyi said, but she knew that what Lin Chuyi said was true. Based on her understanding of those relatives, they were capable of doing such a shameless thing.

"I...I don't know what to do, second sister, tell me what I should do."

Lin Chuyi knew that she couldn't push someone too hard at once, so she reached out and pushed Lin Sanya back onto the stool.

"Sister, calm down and don't be afraid. What I said is just my guess. Nothing has happened yet. We still have time to prepare."

Lin Chuyi waited until Lin Sanya was less excited before continuing to speak.

"Without sufficient strength, we can only be bullied by others. If we want to keep our house and live a peaceful life in the future, there is only one way, and that is to become stronger, so strong that they dare not bully us anymore."

Lin Sanya nodded in agreement, then hesitated, "But, what can we do to become stronger?"

When Lin Chuyi saw that Lin Sanya had taken the bait, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly and she told her plan.

"I plan to go to the capital and see if I can use the skills taught by my master to find a way to make money. It would be best if I can make money with the villagers. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. I can use the way to make money to tie most of the villagers to us."

"The Lin family dares to bully us, isn't it because they see that our parents are gone and we are isolated and helpless, so they are easy to bully? These people are the ones who bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as we have more people on our side, they will naturally not dare to cause trouble."

"After the house is built, I will send my younger brother and sister to school to learn how to read and write. The imperial court will take the imperial examination to select scholars. I think my younger brother has a talent for reading. He will become famous in the future. Even if he only passes the examination to become a scholar, our family will be able to gain a firm foothold in the village."

"Of course, we can't rely on my younger brother alone. After all, he is still young and we can't let him bear too much pressure. I will go out to do business. If everything goes well for me, maybe we can let our family leave Qingshan Village and develop in a big town before my younger brother takes the imperial examination."

Lin Sanya was originally listening carefully to Lin Chuyi's method, but she found that her second sister was getting more and more outrageous.

"Second sister, you really dare to think." Lin Sanya said with emotion.

Lin Chuyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Sanya, "Don't disbelieve me. I always keep my word. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see."

Lin Sanya was about to retort when she caught a glimpse of the purse that had just been sorted, and suddenly she gained some confidence in Lin Chuyi's words.

Maybe, the second sister can really do it? She didn't have a better way, so she might as well listen to the second sister. Even if it didn't work, she would accept it. At least they tried their best.

After figuring it out, Lin Sanya took a deep breath and looked at Lin Chuyi.

"Second sister, I believe in you. I am a person without any ideas. You will make the decisions about family matters in the future. I will do whatever you say and I will listen to you."

Lin Chuyi didn't expect Lin Sanya to change so quickly, but this was a good thing for her.

"Okay, I need you to cover for me. If anyone comes looking for me when I'm not at home, just say I went hunting in the mountains. We're tight on money, so hunting to supplement our household income won't arouse suspicion."

Lin Sanya nodded, "Okay."

"I will arrange for the two little ones to go to school as soon as possible. When I'm not at home, it will be up to the eldest sister to take care of all the big and small matters at home."

Lin Chuyi felt a little embarrassed when he said this. After all, it was not very kind to kidnap someone and bring him back to look after the child.
