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

Lin Wuya felt very aggrieved. Could she be blamed for this? There was so much work to do in a day, and they were so young, how could they finish it?

Lin Wuya felt uncomfortable and lost interest in guessing riddles with her mother, so she announced the answer directly.

"I saw Si Ya on her way back. She came back in a bullock cart. The cart was full of bags filled with stuff. It looked like a few bags of grain to me."

Upon hearing this, Shen stopped what she was doing and looked at Lin Wuya, "Are you sure there's food in the car?"

Lin Wuya nodded, "I think so, otherwise why would they have to transport it all the way back from the town? Mom, where do you think they got so much money?"

Shen thought about it and said, "Maybe it's the money from selling ginseng before. Didn't they say they dug up a ginseng and sold it for fifty taels?"

"But didn't the head of the village say that the house would cost at least 70 or 80 taels? Now that the house is built, they still have some spare money to buy so many things. Where did the extra money come from?"

Lin Wuya threw the questions she had been thinking about along the way to her mother Shen.

"This..." If Lin Wuya hadn't said it, Shen had never thought about this question.

Lin Wuya didn't expect her mother to be able to figure it out, so she just threw out her own thoughts.

"If you ask me, it shouldn't be fake that Si Ya sold ginseng, but whether she only sold it for fifty taels or not, only they themselves know. Judging from their attitude, they must have a lot of money. I don't believe them when they say they make money from hunting. Why didn't I see that she was so capable before? She must be lying."

Lin Wuya had a confident look on her face, and after she said that, Shen's mind also became active.

My uncle's family and their family joined forces to drive out the people from the second room. Now that my parents-in-law were gone, the room for the old couple was redistributed. Now the yard is divided into two, with each family having half, and it is much more spacious than before.

But the child was growing up day by day, and in a few years he would get married and have children. Her husband was a farmer, and he worked hard all year round, but in the end he could not save any money at all. He had to rely on his embroidery work to supplement the expenses of their small family.

After the family split up, the man became much more diligent, but with the meager harvest from the fields, he could never get enough money to build a house for his son.

But things are different now. The young ones in the second room got lucky for some reason and actually dug up ginseng and built houses made of blue bricks and tiles.

When she went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, she glanced at the house from afar. It was so big and its style was similar to those of the wealthy families in the town. It looked very grand.

If they could live in a house like that and keep Si Ya's money in their hands, why would they worry about their son not being able to find a good marriage? Even their daughter could find a better in-law.

Shen's abacus was clacking, and suddenly she realized a problem: their two families had already kicked the person out, and even removed his name from the family tree.

According to etiquette, they are already two families. If he were to occupy their house without any consideration, his family's reputation would be ruined.

Thinking of this, Shen frowned slightly, "But the problem now is that we have nothing to do with Si Ya and the others. They dug the ginseng after being expelled from the family. Logically, no matter how much money they sell for, it has nothing to do with us. If we come to their house now, aren't we telling the villagers that we are the ones who are trying to seize the property of their nephews and nieces? Once this bad reputation spreads, what will happen to your marriage?"

Lin Wuya had thought about this question a long time ago. "It's not that simple. She said she dug the ginseng, so does that mean she did? We can also say that she stole the ginseng from our home. Anyway, no one knows whether we have ginseng at home, and Si Ya and the others have no evidence to prove that the ginseng is not ours. In this way, our two families can get the house and the money openly."

"In this case, your uncle will also know about this matter, right? He will get half of the benefits."

Although Shen hesitated, she had already regarded the house as her own in her heart. When she heard that she had to give half of it away, she immediately became unhappy.

Although Lin Wuya is not as old as her mother, she is much smarter than her mother and can see things more clearly.

"Mom, this can't be kept secret. Besides, there are only a few people in my uncle's family. They can't live in such a big house. Besides, they all live in town now and rarely come back on weekdays. When the time comes, it will be only our family that will actually live in the new house."

"If you really don't want to, you can discuss it with your uncle's family and see if you can exchange the new house for the old one. That way, our two families can each own a house and don't have to share one."

"If my uncle's family is not happy, then we can give them a few more taels of silver. My uncle's family rarely comes back now, and the house is empty anyway. If we agree to exchange the house, we can get a whole house and a few taels of silver for free. I think my uncle and his family will agree to the deal, and then the new house will become ours."

The more Shen listened, the more she felt that what her daughter said made sense, and she couldn't help but smile, "Oh, you are smart, but it's such a big matter, mother can't make the decision alone, I will discuss it with your father when he comes back."

Seeing that she had convinced her mother, Lin Wuya couldn't help feeling a little proud. Lin Siya, your good days are over.

Lin Chuyi directed his men to drive the ox cart along the village road, crossing most of the village and returning to his new home.

Lin Chuyi asked Lin Jinxiu to open the gate, and the car drove into the yard. The waiter helped Lin Chuyi unload the things in the car.

After moving all the things, Lin Chuyi gave the waiter five copper coins as a tip. The waiter happily took the coins, turned the ox cart around and drove back.

Lin Jinxiu took a look at the things Lin Chuyi bought and looked at him with some confusion.

"Second sister, why did you buy only rice and flour? How can we prepare a banquet without vegetables or meat? Although white rice and white flour buns are good things, it's too much to only have these two to invite everyone to a banquet... And how much did you spend on these dried fish? Don't be cheated, I smell something wrong, is it bad?"

The more Lin Jinxiu spoke, the more she frowned. The food was not a big deal, although it was a bit too much to buy at one time, but the food was durable and could be eaten slowly. The banquet would be held the day after tomorrow, and there would still be time to go to the town to buy vegetables and meat tomorrow. It was just that this pile of dry goods was difficult to deal with.

She only recognized the dried fish among the pile of things, which also exuded a strong salty smell, which made people uncomfortable. How could she eat it? The most important thing was that she suspected that her second sister was being cheated.
