Started as a poor little girl

Holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand, he suddenly felt relieved as he watched the carriage convoy go away.

"Lulu, what's wrong with you? You look a little unwell." Wei Lingheng saw that Li Lulu's face was pale and thought she was sick.

"No, I just feel a little sad."

Li Lulu threw the jade token into the space to avoid losing it. Such a valuable thing must be kept well.

She did not tell Wei Lingheng about this to avoid any trouble and bring herself into trouble.

"Let's go, let's go back! I'll go back to the village later, do you want to go with me?" Li Lulu turned around and asked Wei Lingheng.

"You don't want me to go?" Wei Lingheng thought that she might not want to go by herself, otherwise why would she ask that.

"No, because I will be back soon and it will be troublesome." Li Lulu tried her best to explain.

"It's okay. I'm worried about you going back alone."

"Okay then, let's go together."

Li Lulu is the kind of person who does what she says and does it right away. She leads her Snow White. Who is that Snow White? Of course it is Li Lulu's dream horse, the snow-white horse.

After harnessing the carriage, Li Lulu went to the market to buy some meat. Xiao Jinnian also gave her several pieces of good cloth, which she could take home and ask Yue Xiangmei to make some new clothes for her. It was only about two months before the Chinese New Year.

A horse carriage is faster than a donkey cart. It usually takes half an hour to get home, but now it only takes less than half an hour. The weather is a bit cold, and there are no aunties chatting at the entrance of the village.

Li Lulu pushed open the gate. The gate was not locked in broad daylight, so Wei Lingheng pulled the carriage directly into the yard. The gate was spacious, so there was no need to worry about the carriage not being able to get in.

Hearing the noise, Grandpa Li came out. Seeing Li Lulu, he was very happy. "Lu girl, you are back. Grandpa hasn't seen you for a while."

Li Lulu ran to Grandpa Li and threw herself into his arms. "Grandpa, do you miss Lulu?"

"Yes, I miss you. I told your parents a few days ago that you didn't even know how to go home to visit your parents." Grandpa Li looked at his little granddaughter lovingly and tapped her little forehead.

"Hehe, Dad and Mom, I'm back."

Li Lulu turned her head to look at the two people coming out of the house and called out sweetly.

"Glad to be back. Is the shop not busy anymore?" Yue Xiangmei came over and asked.

"Qingqing, I'm sorry to bother you. This girl is dragging you around again. It's cold outside. Go inside and warm yourself by the fire." Li Qingping looked at Lin Qingqing who was standing beside the carriage.

"It's okay. Lulu is filial and brought a lot of things home, so I brought them back today when I had time."

Wei Lingheng opened the curtain of the carriage and took out the things bit by bit to move into the house. Li Qingping moved the things he had cleared out into the house.

"You're a girl, this is a man's job, go sit inside." He had a smile on his face and carried the things into the house.

Yue Xiangmei held Li Lulu's hand and led her into the house, looking at Wei Lingheng behind her and urging her.

"Qingqing! Come here quickly and sit in the house to keep warm. Leave these chores to your uncle." Yue Xiangmei waved to Wei Lingheng.

"Got it, auntie. I'll be right there." Wei Lingheng followed them and walked into the house.

There was a fire burning in the house, and the roof seemed to have been repaired, so it looked like it wouldn't leak anymore.

Everyone sat down around the brazier, and Yue Xiangmei brought over some tangerines and oranges.

"Mom, stop busying yourself and tell me quickly whether the land has been approved." Li Lulu took an orange, peeled it and ate a slice. It tasted quite sweet, so she took another slice.

"Okay, okay, your great grandfather went to get it done as soon as he heard about it. It has been approved. It's at the foot of the mountain behind our house."

Yue Xiangmei smiled happily and pointed behind her, feeling very happy.

"Lulu! That land is almost five acres! Your mother has already paid the money. When are you going to build the house?"

Mr. Li took out his pipe, took two puffs, and blew out two smoke rings.

"Grandpa, there are still two months before the Chinese New Year. I wonder if we can get more manpower to finish the construction before the New Year?"

After hearing this, Mr. Li was stunned for a few seconds before he regained his consciousness.

"Oh! I'm sure it can be done. I wonder what kind of repair you want."

Li Lulu pinched her chin and thought for a while. "Well... let's do this. Let's build a two-story building first. I want to build two courtyards on both sides of the building. When my two brothers get married, they can each have a courtyard. I'll leave a piece of land behind the building first, and maybe we'll build more later!"

Li Qingping walked in, listened to the whole thing, was a little dazed, and sat on the stool in a daze.

"Grandpa knows that Lulu is making money, so there's no need to spend it like this! How much money does such a big house cost? Oh my God!" Grandpa Li was so angry that he slapped his thigh and almost fainted.

"Grandpa, it's okay. I have money. I'll go to the town and ask around. There seems to be a house construction company that provides all the materials and labor. I'll go and see if it can be completed before the New Year so that we can move in during the New Year."

Afraid that her grandfather would be angry again, Li Lulu pulled Wei Lingheng out of the yard, picked up a piece of meat, and drove away in the carriage again.

"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, I'm going to go look for the contractor first and come back tomorrow to talk to you."

"Girl, why did you run away just after you came back?" Li Qingping shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, come back early." Yue Xiangmei was too lazy to care about her. Anyway, she knew that Lulu was a child with her own ideas. She built the house for her family and even thought about what would happen to her two brothers after they got married.

"What a kid!" Old Master Li sighed and tapped his pipe against the wall.

"Grandma, is Grandpa here?" Li Lulu stopped the carriage in front of Li Qingsong's house.

"Oh! How come Lulu has time to come back today?" Zhou Xiaoshu put down the dustpan in her hand and welcomed Li Lulu and Wei Lingheng into the house.

"Come in! Your great-grandfather is at home! The carriage can be parked in the yard, it's all right."

Zhou Xiaoshu led the way. Great-grandfather's house was a fairly large courtyard, and they arrived at the house in just a few steps.

"Old man, don't stay in the house anymore, Lulu is here to see you."

Li Qingsong came out from the inner room with a smile on his face. "Lulu, when did you come back?"

"It was just a while ago. I just came back and thought of coming to see my great-grandfather! Here are some things I brought for you." Li Lulu put the meat and snacks on the table.

"This kid comes here and brings things with him. What should I do? Why is he spending money recklessly?" Zhou Xiaoshu was a little overwhelmed when she saw the piece of meat that weighed at least three pounds and a large bag of snacks.

"Grandma, please don't be polite. When we were still together, I was starving and you secretly brought me food. The same thing happened to my two aunts. Please don't be polite to me. You have helped our family a lot before."

Before, when the original owner's family was short of food, the great grandfather's family often secretly helped them without asking for anything in return. Even though they knew that the original owner's family could not afford to pay them back, they still gave them money again and again. However, they only dared to give it secretly, otherwise if old lady Li found out, they would have nothing.

"Well, old woman, take it! This is a gift from the child."

Li Qingsong, on the other hand, saw things clearly. He knew that Li Lulu was a grateful person and a good child. The child would be sad if he didn't accept the gifts.

"That's right, grandpa, thank you for helping to approve the land for us. We are going to build a new house in the next few days. I'd like to trouble you to help us to arrange it and put it in order. We can discuss the wages then." Li Lulu said softly why she came.

"Okay, Grandpa will help you arrange it then."

"Okay, I'll go to the town first to inquire about the price of the contract including materials and labor. Then I'll decide whether to find a contractor from the village or the town. I'll come to see Grandpa tomorrow. I'm leaving first, otherwise it will be too late to go back." Li Lulu was in a hurry to leave again.

Zhou Xiaoshu and Li Qingsong sent them to the door, and then drove the carriage to the town.

Wei Lingheng drove the carriage, and Li Lulu sat beside him, wrapping her small body in a cloak.

"Wei Lingheng, where can we find a contractor who will do both the work and the materials?" Li Lulu frowned and tilted her head to look at him and asked.

"Hmm... I don't know either. You can ask the uncle who was with An Yi before. He looks special and should have a wide network of contacts."

Wei Lingheng knew Boss Tian, ​​so he definitely knew whether Boss Tian had those personal connections. After all, the Tian family had a wide range of businesses. However, he was now dressed as a woman and no one could recognize him.

"Where can we find him? I seem to have heard A Da and the others say that they had seen him at Tian's Garment Shop last time, and his last name is Tian, ​​could it be that..." Li Lulu patted the armrest of the carriage excitedly.

"Are all the Tianji shops in this town owned by them?"

"That should be the case! You're so smart!" Wei Lingheng praised.

"Then let's go to the Tian Mansion and take a look. Fortunately, I saw the house when I was shopping last time, otherwise it would take some time and effort to find out about it!" Li Lulu sighed. Fortunately, she remembered the place.

Wei Lingheng nodded, and the carriage soon arrived at the gate of Tian Mansion. Li Lulu went forward and knocked on the door.
