The next morning, Song Xiangsi first went to the forest, hunted two wild game, dealt with them simply, then roasted them with her exclusive secret recipe. The four of them divided the wild game, then brought her siblings to the village.

She told her brothers and sisters to go find the children in the village to play. She and Meng Ling Xuan picked up two fish and went together to the Village Chief's house.

These two fish had been fished out by Meng Lianxuan this morning. They were as thick as a man's arm and very plump and lively at a glance. The stew was very fresh and tender.

The Village Head's daughter-in-law, Lady Zhou, smiled as she received the fish. Her words were polite, but her eyes were full of satisfaction as she praised Song Xiangsi.

After what happened last time, the Village Chief was very optimistic about Song Xiangsi. The moment the two of them entered the house, he laughed and said, "Lovesick girl, how can you be free to come visit me today?"

Song Xiangsi smiled, and coincidentally opened her mouth saying: "Yesterday, the village chief helped us to witness our branch family. Today, we have to take a look no matter what."

Madam Zhou came in and showed the two fish they brought to the village chief. She smiled and said, "These two children, come on then. You even brought gifts. You really don't like us anymore."

The village chief nodded his head and looked at Song Xiangsi. He frowned slightly in disapproval, "It's hard for you all to do your own thing now. Even though your younger brother and sister are young, they still need to grow. Why are you spending so much money? It's better to leave some food for your children."

Even though he said those words, the Village Chief's gaze towards Song Xiangsi became much gentler.

Song Xiangsi smiled, "We did not give this gift for nothing. We came here to get rid of the Village Head and split our worries, so we did our best. We only caught two fishes from the river at the entrance and gave them to the Village Head."

Hearing that, the Village Chief laughed happily and asked, "Why are you looking for me? "Just say it directly. According to seniority, you should call me uncle. Don't call me chief elder anymore."

Song Xiangsi nodded and happily responded, "Ai, uncle."

After a few more taunts, Song Xiangsi finally explained her purpose in coming here.

"Our house can't even accommodate people. It's cold in the winter and hot in the summer, if it wasn't because of the rain yesterday, could it be that the house was drenched in cold? My brothers and sisters also got the chills."

The Village Chief was surprised and thought he had misheard. He repeated in surprise, "You want to build a house?"

It had to be known that no matter what era it was, building a house was a top priority and required a lot of money.

The Village Head thought to himself, Song Xiangsi and the others had split up and paid Song Dabao and Old Lady Wang so much money, how could they still have the money to build a new house?

Song Xiangsi smiled. She had expected the Village Head's surprise. After all, if it wasn't for Meng Ling Xuan helping her, she wouldn't have the money to build a house.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to explain half-truthfully, "I saved a person before, and he seemed to be the son of a big family. I saved him, and he gave me a hundred silver coins.

She said she was holding back and didn't mention Meng Ling Xuan's matter.

The Village Chief nodded his head. Although he was the head of the village, he was after all just an ordinary farmer. He was straight forward and did not expect that there would be any twists and turns.

"Then what kind of house do you want to build?"

Song Xiangsi smiled, "It's just an ordinary three-way courtyard. As for the decorations, I'll bring the blueprints over later, but I still need the village chief to help me find a few people in the village to help me fix it. The price will be the same as other families."

The village chief took a puff on his pipe and nodded his head. He then asked, "How many people do you want to find?"

"I don't know much about this, but please help me find a few more. It would be best if they can be repaired in half a month, and the siblings can also live inside as soon as possible to reduce the suffering." Song Xiangsi answered.

Hearing that she didn't say anything, the village chief looked at her hesitantly, then looked at Meng Ling Xuan behind her, wanting to urge her on. "If it's that urgent, I'm afraid it'll cost more …"

He thought, just find a few people to slowly cultivate and make Song Xiangsi endure for a while.

"You've only just separated out, there are many things you need to buy, even if you have money, you should be able to save a little."

He could only explain, "Don't worry about the money, Village Head. In a few days, I'll go to the town and do some business. The whole family will be starving, but my younger brother and sister will live in a broken house, and at night, it would be so cold that they could earn more money. As long as they are healthy, everything will be fine."

The village chief stopped talking. He took a few more puffs of smoke and furrowed his brows. After a while, he nodded his head.

"Alright, then we'll do as you say. I'll go find someone to fix it after we finish eating."

Song Xiangsi smiled. She thanked the village chief for a while and said some good words before leaving with Meng Ling Xuan.

Since she was going to build a house, she thought, she would have to design it properly. After all, the money had already been spent, so she would have to build a house that would satisfy her and make her happy.

Song Xiangsi is an activist," he thought as he pulled Meng to the county town to buy some paper and brushes so they could design their own house.

As long as it was something she wanted to do, he would do it along with her.

The two of them arrived at the entrance of the village. Coincidentally, the ox-cart was still waiting there. Two women were already sitting on it, preparing to leave.

Song Xiangsi quickly pulled Meng Ling Xuan over, paid four coins to the old man who drove the carriage, and the two of them jumped onto the carriage.

Song Xiangsi had met the two women a few times before. While the Lin Clan was still around, the two of them went to find Lady Wang and badmouth her, provoking her to find trouble with the Lin Clan.

Song Xiangsi curled his lips and glanced at them before turning his head. In his heart, he did not have any good impression of this kind of woman who only knew how to gossip and did not have any brains or morals.

She didn't want to speak, but the two women couldn't stop themselves. Upon seeing her arrive, their gazes once more fell upon the figure of Meng Xiaoyuan, who had followed behind. They hadn't expected this young fellow to be so handsome.

The two women looked at each other and started laughing. Their gazes towards Song Xiangsi were filled with contempt.

Such a young girl could actually find a handsome young man? How shameless. She was just as despicable as her mother.
