Sun Chun waited in the courtyard for a good while, but still, no one came. Unable to hold on any longer, he leaned against the wall and started to nap.

Following the hissing of the horses, two to three horse carriages stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, waking up Sun Chun who had just fallen asleep.

"Young Master Sun, we are here. Should we start moving the furniture into the house now?" An assistant ran in front of Sun Chun and asked.

Sun Chun rubbed his eyes, looking for Xia Li in the crowd.

"There's no need to look for me. I'm here." Xia Li jumped down from the carriage, patted his hands together, and ran in front of Sun Chun.

"Miss Xia Li, where's the house? I have already finished checking it. Sun Chun invited Xia Li into the courtyard.

"Alright, then let's check how the Young Master Sun has built the house."

Under Sun Chun's lead, Xia Li walked around the house, observing it carefully.

"Young Master Sun did very well. I have no objections." Xia Li's eyes were filled with praise for Sun Chun.

Everyone's room has a bed, wardrobe, and screen. Your room also has a bookshelf, a room with four treasures, Mom and I have bought two more dressing tables, and some other daily necessities like the kitchen. When the time comes, we can move them directly to the kitchen.

"Young Master Sun, are you willing?" Xia Li asked Sun Chun.

"I agree with you. Just follow your instructions." After Sun Chun finished speaking, he walked in front of everyone. Following Xia Li's instructions, he guided them to place the furniture in each room.

In less than two hours, the entire courtyard looked brand-new, and the rooms were arranged in a neat and orderly manner.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work. I've made some tea for you. Now, have a drink. Everyone, come and rest for a bit and have some tea." Xia Li called for everyone, and placed a pot of tea on the table under the big tree, and took out five or six tea bowls, and poured some tea for everyone.

The waiters were truly exhausted, all of them looking drenched in sweat, exhausted to the point of gasping for breath. They kept wiping off their sweat with the towels on their necks before returning to the tree. They ignored the mud on the ground and sat down on the ground, hugging their tea bowls as they gulped tea.

"Miss Xia Li, Young Master Sun, you have already handed over the wages to us, now that we have finished all the work, you guys go and check again, if there are no problems, after we finish drinking the bowl of tea and rest for a bit, we might as well head back."

A staff member carrying the furniture said to Xia Li and Sun Chun.

"We'll go back with you guys later and bring my family over." Xia Li said to the servant.

"Alright, Miss Xia, we'll go together in a while."

The servant didn't waste any more time. He gulped down all the tea in the bowl and returned to the carriage.

"In a while, let's lock up this courtyard and go to the town together to bring my mother and brother back!" Xia Li walked to Sun Chun's side and reminded him.

"You go with them, I'll take care of the yard for you."

Sun Chun's expression was solemn, his eyebrows knitted together slightly, completely different from his usual relaxed appearance.

"Alright, you have to be careful. I'll be right back." Xia Li mustered her courage and stood on her tiptoes to hug Sun Chun. Her heart was thumping hard, this was the first time she was going to get close to Sun Chun in front of everyone.

Sun Chun felt himself becoming a statue.

His hands hung in the air as he lowered his head to look at the little girl in his embrace hugging him tightly. He could clearly feel their heartbeats overlapping each other.

"Stay here, I'll be back in a bit." After Xia Li finished, he did not care about the others' gazes anymore, and opened the carriage's curtain, and entered.

"Master, let's go to town." As Xia Li's voice came out, it also brought back everyone's thoughts.

"Sure, Miss Xia Li." The coachman was a bit embarrassed at the moment. He hurried the horse towards the town.

"So you're actually related to Xia Li's family. To think that I liked you before, heh!"

In the blink of an eye, a lot of people with Tianshui Village rushed in behind Sun Chun.

"That's right, I helped you guys build a house yesterday, who would have thought that you would help the most hated person here. Xia Manjiang still owes me money, and he already injured me and ran away. I had to rest for half a month before I could leave." The person who spoke stepped forward and pulled on Sun Chun's collar, his face full of anger.

"Say, do you know where Xia Manjiang is hiding, what is your relationship with his family? Since you have money, you should build a courtyard here, sell your house, buy furniture, and pay the workers. Then, you should also return the money Xia Manjiang owes us!"

"That's right, return the money. If you don't return the money, we'll destroy your rooms and the furniture inside right now."

A lot of men surrounded Sun Chun, surrounding him in the middle, the atmosphere became more lively, like boiling water, the passion rolling around, maybe if Sun Chun's words did not satisfy everyone, they would barge into the house and destroy everything.

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Sun Chun felt helpless.

Furthermore, he had a wound on his abdomen. If they were to really fight, there would definitely be a lot of people seizing the opportunity to run back into the courtyard and destroy everything. At that time, even if the gains would not make up for the losses, he could only wait for Xia Li to return.

"Oh right, I remember now, aren't you Xia Li's hubby? It seems like the ones who should be looking for you are us creditors. Now, you have to explain to us, when will you return the money that your father-in-law owes us? "

The vile debt collector held a wooden stick that was as thick as a person's wrist and danced like a tiger in front of Sun Chun.

"Xia Li went to the town to fetch his mother and brother. He will be back in a while, give us half an incense's time, thank you all." Sun Chun cupped his hands to everyone and spoke sincerely.

My fellow neighbors, Young Master Sun is a good person, please do not make things difficult for him alone. He said that Xia Li that girl will be back, and he will not lie to you.

It was unknown when Grandma Wang had squeezed through the crowd, but it was obvious that she was respected in the Tianshui Village. With someone supporting her, the people on both sides automatically opened up a path for her, allowing her to walk to the front.

"Since even the Grandma Wang has pleaded with you, then we will give you half an incense's time. If the time is up and no one comes, then we will smash apart all the furniture in the courtyard to see who will feel sorry for you."

"Thank you, fellow villagers, thank you Grandma Wang."

Sun Chun stabilized his body, cleverly holding down the man's wrist, with a crack, the man did not have the time to make a sound, and was pressed down to the ground by Sun Chun. Sun Chun pressed down the man's acupuncture points, and the man immediately curled up painfully on the ground.

"Actually, I don't want to fight with everyone. I can't beat all of you by myself, but if you really want to destroy the furniture in this courtyard, I don't mind letting all of you have a taste of how this big brother is feeling right now."

When they saw their leader who was lying on the ground in extreme pain, whose voice didn't seem to come out at all, and then looked at Sun Chun who had a leisurely expression on his face, one by one, they carefully weighed their own skill that wasn't even considered to be a three-legged cat, and secretly gulped. In a daze, they didn't make a single sound, and quietly stood where they were.

There was even a group of people who quietly took a few steps back, creating an opening for Sun Chun to walk freely. However, the wooden stick he was holding to defend himself was still tightly gripped in his hand, and he did not dare relax even for a moment.

The scene was so quiet that only the groaning men on the ground could be heard constantly moaning in pain. The remaining people stood on the spot, quietly waiting.

Grandma Wang looked at the sturdy men in front of him, and did not dare to fight with Sun Chun.

When Xia Li returned to the town, he picked up Lee's and Xia Qing at the Fragrant Spring Inn.

She thought about it seriously. Since they had returned to the Tianshui Village, and the neighbors in the village would recognize them sooner or later, then there must be a lot of people who were looking for trouble.

In the end, they still went to Ding Liang's hospital and took thirty-five silver from him. Xia Li gave Ding Liang ten silver to get a commission, and the three of them sat in the carriage, returning to Tianshui Village.

Just as Xia Li had expected, when she sat in the carriage and entered the village, through the curtain of the carriage, she could see from afar that the courtyard she bought was already surrounded by people, and Sun Chun's figure was completely submerged within the crowd.

"Master, the carriage should stop here." Xia Li made the coachman stop the carriage in advance.

Lee's also saw the crowd gathered at the entrance of the courtyard from afar and pulled Xia Li along, his eyes filled with worry.

"Is everyone from the village here? "Then how should we deal with it?"

Mother, don't worry, it's alright, everything is under my control. You and your brother will go to the Water God Temple to hide for a while, I won't look for you, you and your brother definitely won't come out. Once the matter is settled, I'll bring you guys into the courtyard.

"What about you, daughter? What will you do?" Lee's was still worried about Xia Li.

"It's fine, Mother. I can take care of this matter. Please trust me." Xia Li patted Lee's's hands and said resolutely.

Xia Li gave the driver the money to receive the carriage from Lee's and Xia Qing.

Then, she brought Lee's and Xia Qing to avoid the crowds as she came to the Water God Temple that they hid in last time.

This place had always been a forbidden area of the Tianshui Village. Unless it was a major festival or celebration, ordinary people would not come here.

"Mother, stay with your brother at the Water God temple, don't go anywhere, no one is coming here, rest well, later, I will bring you back."
