When the Lee's saw that Xia Li had pulled her to such a luxurious place, he was shocked for a moment before dragging Xia Li and walking back.

My daughter, this is too much, it is too much, Qing Er and I are both ordinary people, how can we afford to wear such luxurious silk clothes, let's go back, I really cannot wear such clothes, my daughter, please forgive me. The Lee's stood on the spot, embarrassed, and insisted on pulling Xia Li away.

The clothing shop's owner was an exquisite lady, wearing a beautiful set of silk clothes, with a jade bracelet on her wrist, she looked a little rich, but when she glanced at Xia Li and the rest, she immediately welcomed them.

"Customers, who are you buying clothes for?"

"Hello, Boss. I'm planning to buy two new sets of clothes for my mother and brother. Do you have any pretty, thin clothes? I'd like to choose two sets of clothes."

Xia Li guessed that Lee's would definitely not wear silk clothes, so she changed her mind and bought two sets of clothes for and the council member.

"Yes, I have a lot of clothes that can be sold at a discount. If you don't mind, I can give you half the price." The boss of the clothing store said with a smile as his eyes sparkled.

When Xia Li heard that it was a sale of clothes, he wanted to open his mouth and reject, but who knew that Lee's would actually agree to it?

"Ok, boss. What is the cheapest clothing you have? Bring me and my son here. We don't need anything expensive, as long as we can wear it and meet people outside. "

Lee's had originally planned to leave, but seeing that Xia Li was determined to buy clothes for her and was worried that he would be expensive, he quickly told him to the boss first.

"Then this big sis, please bring your child with me. Take a look at what kind of clothes you like? I'll give you preferential treatment. "

The female boss was a smart person, she quickly pulled Lee's and Xia Qing into the shop.

Xia Li also entered the shop and helped Lee's and Xia Qing to choose a suitable set of clothes.

"Big sister, your son and you look really different in these clothes. Just look at them: they are the lady and the young master; they really rely on their clothes to ride on the saddle. I won't have much silver today, just give me four taels of silver." The female boss of the clothing store said those words very beautifully, but she did not let go when she collected the money. Four taels of silver, to Xia Li, was all that she had in her pockets today.

"No way, why is four taels of silver so scary?" I thought it would be cheaper to choose two pieces of fine cloth, but why is it still so expensive? " Lee's was so scared that he almost sat on the ground and was about to take off his new clothes.

"Hey, haven't you seen good clothes before? Every single piece of silk clothing costs over ten taels of silver, and these pieces of fine cloth are often worn by ordinary families. If you cannot afford it, I will immediately take it away.

"Don't you think about it, these are two pieces of clothing. I only got four taels of silver from you two. It can already be considered to be very cheap. You really don't know what's good for you." The female boss of the clothing store wanted to strip Lee's of his clothes.

"Boss, we'll buy both of these clothes. Wrap them up for you." Seemingly unable to bear the excitement of the female boss, Xia Li gritted his teeth and decided to buy the clothes.

Sun Chun patted Xia Li's shoulders to remind her.

"Don't regret buying it. If you don't want to buy it, then you can leave. You better not make a fool of yourself."

"But I really don't want outsiders to look down on my mother and my brother. They are my family, so if I don't buy the best and eat the best for them, what's the point of doing all this?"

"Could it be that just for the sake of desperately earning silver to repay my unreliable father for causing my mother and brother to suffer together, how could there be such a logic?"

Xia Li was a little angry at the end of his speech.

"I just don't want you to spend the money because what you earn yourself isn't something that comes from the heavens. Your filial piety can be expressed in any other way."

Sun Chun's expression became serious, as a warning to Xia Li.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, Lee's didn't want those two sets of clothes. He let the shopkeeper take the clothes away immediately.

"Xia Li, you must understand, you want mother and brother to wear new clothes, you do not want them to be looked down upon, but we are not living to help others look at you, we are living a comfortable life, and are calm and composed. Let's go find the cheapest inn in town, let's just forget about buying clothes."

Xia Li still wanted to say something, but Lee's had already brought Xia Qing far away and did not give her any chance to speak.

The four of them searched the town for less than an hour before finally finding the cheapest inn. A tael of silver could last for four to five days, including daily meals and hot water.

Xia Qing brought Sun Chun to Ding Liang's shop to collect the silver from the hospital. Xia Li did not plan to keep it a secret from Sun Chun either, but they still went to Ding Liang's hospital together.

"Miss, why have you come here today?" Ding Liang busied himself and found the time to walk over and ask Xia Li.

"Same old rules. Grand Master Ding, I'm here to collect money, just give me whatever you have, because I really need it urgently." Xia Li went straight to the point.

"It's such a coincidence that this young lady came. She just sold a Painkiller Pill and got 15 taels of silver. If you have any urgent matters, you can take them all. Give it to me at the end of the draw." Ding Liang said as he took out 15 taels of silver from the counter and gave it to Xia Li.

"Thank you, Grand Master Ding. I really need to thank you today, because I'm in a hurry to get to work. You can busy yourself first, and I won't disturb you anymore."

Xia Li did not bother with pleasantries. He brought Sun Chun and hurriedly left the hospital without waiting for him to say goodbye.

Xia Li and Sun Chun walked around the town and found a bricklayer and a carpenter. The two men who were cleaning the courtyard bought some furniture and daily necessities.

Xia Li's mouth was about to break. Although Sun Chun didn't talk much on the side, he would frequently remind her in crucial areas.

By the time the two of them had arranged everything, it was already noon and the sun had already risen.

Wood, tile generals, and the two men who were cleaning the courtyard should be able to arrive at Tianshui Village in the afternoon. We have already discussed this matter with the owner. Xia Li said to Sun Chun.

"I'll go and arrange these alone, you can leave for the time being."

He thought about how Xia Li could not immediately enter the village, in case the villagers disliked him, and then come over to repair the courtyard and cause some disturbance.

"Take this 5 taels of silver as well. It will save you the trouble of spending it." Xia Li forced her face, and gave all her silver to Sun Chun.

When the time comes, I'll just need to find a place to stay for Grandma Wang. After they finish cleaning the courtyard, they will then fix the house, and we'll be able to finish it in one day tomorrow. In the afternoon, they will even return to town by ourselves, so there's no need for us to worry about that. Oh right, "Sun Chun paused, and looked at Xia Li with a troubled look." I suddenly remembered that when I came to tomorrow afternoon, I still need to take care of them for lunch … "

"Tomorrow, I'll order more food in the town and have them deliver it to the Tianshui Village. We won't starve these workers, it's just that these noises are too loud, the villagers of Tianshui Village are not stupid, they will definitely be curious, who was the one who built the house? There'll be a lot of trouble when we move. " Xia Li said with a frown on his face.

"Building a house is an earth-shattering thing to begin with. You've already done everything, so what is there to be afraid of? You have to let go of it a little. You can't be overbearing, but you become a pussy outside."

Sun Chun pointed directly at the bottom of Xia Li's heart, her expression turning ugly, she patted Sun Chun's shoulders, "Who do you think is a snob? It's normal for me to worry about you right now, but you, if you can't do your job well, if you don't supervise properly, I'll kick you out, and you won't be able to stay even after the courtyard is covered."

"Alright, I won't say anymore. I'll go eat first, I'm starving to death." After Sun Chun finished speaking, he pulled Xia Li into a small restaurant.

Time passed by very quickly. In the afternoon, Sun Zhen brought the bricklayer, the carpenter, the two workers who were cleaning the courtyard and the workers who were transporting the wood, and entered Tianshui Village together.

It was only then that Xia Li realized that he had already free time, and that Sun Chun was the one who had to take care of most of the stuff.

She suddenly remembered that when she bought the furniture with Sun Chun, she only bought the bed and wardrobe for everyone.

However, the desk that he had promised Sun Chun before, didn't come to fruition. Xia Li decided to buy another desk and a batch of books, buy a few pieces of cloth, and make a new set of clothes for everyone in the family. It was already dusk by the time he finished setting everything up.

Xia Li was extremely nervous, especially when it was noon of the second day, she ordered some dishes in the small restaurant, and placed them all into a few boxes of food, then followed the person who brought the dishes to Tianshui Village.

Xia Li did not reveal his true appearance. He was dressed the same as the restaurant waiter, he thickened his eyebrows, and his face turned dark using makeup. He did not speak, and dressed up like a waiter, sitting in the restaurant's carriage.

When Xia Li arrived at the house he bought, he could not believe his eyes.

The weeds in the yard had been cleared, a small vegetable patch had been cleared, the four thatched cottages had been demolished, new walls had been rebuilt, mattresses had been lifted from the thatched roofs, and the workers were shouting the slogans of lumber. Everyone was sweating profusely.

The carpenter in the house was fixing the broken window. After planning for a while, he created a fire brick bed that was connected to the stove in the kitchen. The entire courtyard of the house had become completely different from the ruined one that Xia Li had seen before.

Sun Chun was supervising from the side, from time to time, he would walk beside the carpenter and say something, and even the workers on the rooftops would come over from time to time to ask for his opinion, causing Xia Li's eyes to shine.

A man who works hard is the most charming, and the ancients sincerely do not bully me.
