An Yunrui smiled bitterly: "Don't annoy your little aunt, she will throw you out together when the time comes."
An Hao snorted and said angrily: "No, my little aunt loves me so much. Anyway, uncle, don't worry, I will help you quietly."
An Yunrui didn't know where An Hao got the confidence that An Shuyao would love him, but he was still a child with simple thoughts, so An Yunrui didn't expose it and let him go.
His eyes immediately fell on Liu Yuxue, and she looked back nervously. An Yunrui stood up, pursed her lips, and called, "Girl."
"ah?"
Liu Yuxue had the same nerve reflex and immediately turned her head to look at him.
An Yunrui thanked Liu Yuxue: "Thank you for taking care of Hao'er. I will trouble you to take care of him more in the future, so An thanked you for that."
An Yunrui was very tall, and Liu Yuxue's figure looked much petite among the tall northerners. She had to look up at An Yunrui.
He was dirty all over, his face was dirty, his hair was disheveled, and his beard was unkempt, but he gave people the feeling of a very tough guy for no reason.
Liu Yuxue looked at him warily: "Don't get close to me, I didn't help you, don't thank me."
After saying that, she looked at An Hao: "Hao'er, let's go. Your little aunt will be angry when she comes back later."
An Hao looked at An Yunrui reluctantly, clenched his fists, and encouraged An Yunrui: "Uncle Fourth, please hold on, Hao Hao will find a way."
He held Liu Yuxue's hand and looked up at Yuxue's little face: "Aunt Yuxue, let's go back."
An Yunrui looked at their backs.
Yuxue?
It's really a nice name.
He sat back to his original position, thought for a moment, stood up again, and walked towards the main door of the thatched house. Lu Jin was repairing the door with a wooden nail, and he was trying to think of a way to nail it in.
A big hand took the hammer in his hand: "I'll nail it."
Lu Jin paused for two seconds and immediately let go. An Yunrui hammered the wooden nail that had been bothering Lu Jin for a long time and all of it went in.
Seeing this, Lu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Young General An's strength is indeed unmatched by anyone."
An Yunrui's lips curved into a sarcastic smile: "An's whole body only has this little strength, and I'm no longer a general. My brother-in-law just calls me An Si."
An Yunrui's hand didn't stop, and all the nails were driven into the courtyard door in just a few clicks. The shaky courtyard door became strong again.
Lu Jin looked cold: "As far as I know, my wife is a fake daughter of the Hou family. I am a little curious as to what made you chase her, a fake daughter, to the barren land of Anzhou."
An Yunrui made a movement in his hand, and his expression became much softer: "There is no reason."
"She will always be my sister, whether related by blood or not."
Lu Jin didn't understand what was going on in the Hou Mansion. They were very capable of duplicity. They cursed, but they were sincere in their actions. They came to Anzhou to ask for forgiveness.
He was also not very interested in their settling down.
After An Yunrui nailed it, he looked at Lu Jin: "Can you lend me an axe?"
Lu Jin looked at the well-repaired door, turned around and went into the house and brought out an axe. An Yunrui took it and said, "I'll lend you this hammer, too. Thank you very much."

Lin He's family was also in the west of the village, and they had to pass by the school that was built with funds. When An Shuyao passed by, he saw the mill shared by the village.
The grindstone is black, and the thick wooden stick used to grind it has been polished smooth. It looks like someone has used it frequently. At this time, the mill is idle and no one is using it.
An Shuyao stopped for a while and was about to leave. A strange middle-aged man wearing a gray robe passed by her. When he passed by An Shuyao, he glared at her coldly, then put his hands behind his back and gestured.
He walked into the school haughtily.
An Shuyao felt baffled. She didn't know this person, so why did he seem to have a deep hatred for him?
"Yao girl?"
Hearing the voice, An Shuyao turned her head and saw the person coming, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Aunt Lin, why are you here."
Aunt Lin pointed to Lin Huzi on one side: "Why don't we send this kid to school?"
Lin Huzi greeted obediently: "Hello, sister An'an, mother, I'm going to school."
Aunt Lin chuckled: "Go ahead."
Seeing his disappearing figure, she looked at An Shuyao and asked, "Did you just meet Mr. Guo?"
An Shuyao looked at the location of the school: "Is that middle-aged man just now the teacher of the school?"
Aunt Lin nodded, and An Shuyao was a little confused: "I have never met him before, why does he look at me with disgust?"
Aunt Lin sighed and shook her head helplessly: "Mr. Guo is a teacher invited through the Xu family. He used to be an old friend of Liu Yuxue's father, but he has a very good relationship with the Xu family. Because of Liu Yuxue's incident, the Xu family is now
I hate you to the core, and I'm afraid this gentleman will take this matter out on you."
An Shuyao frowned and was speechless: "It's inexplicable."
Aunt Lin naturally did not agree with the Xu family's approach, but she still reminded An Shuyao: "If you meet the Xu family in the future, try to avoid it. I'm afraid they will use Mr. Guo as an excuse to force you to hand over Liu Yuxue."
Aunt Lin was also a little worried for a moment: "There is only such a knowledgeable teacher in the village, so don't be fooled by the Xu family and stop teaching. That would be bad."
An Shuyao thought it shouldn't be the case. Her affairs with the Xu family had nothing to do with this half-cent guy surnamed Guo.
Aunt Lin was about to leave. Then she asked again: "To the north of the village is where the Dabazi River flows. It's October and everyone in the village has gone fishing there. Do you want to get some?"
Let’s go home and make fish soup to drink?”
An Shuyao is somewhat interested in fishing.
But she had more important things to do now, so she said with some regret: "I'm going to the village chief's house now to buy the land, in case the Taolin County government officials come to trouble me again and I might not be able to make it in time."
Aunt Lin understood: "You go ahead and do it first. It will take a few days to catch this fish. There is no rush."
After parting ways with Aunt Lin, An Shuyao quickly found the home of village chief Lin He.
Apart from Hu Jun's house, his house is considered the best in the village. It is also a brick house, but compared to the best blue bricks, his house is made of slightly inferior red bricks.
But this is also unique in the village. The door of Lin He's house was opened, and there were chickens in the yard. A woman was feeding the chickens. When she saw someone coming, she straightened up and called into the house: "Master."
, Miss Lu is here."
Lin He walked out and said to An Shuyao, "Come in and talk about anything."
When An Shuyao entered, Lin He pointed to the chair, and she sat on it without any courtesy. She directly stated her purpose: "Village chief, I don't know how much silver it takes to buy the land for that thatched house."
