"How can you see clearly if you build the house at night?" inquired the Princely Heir, furrowing his brows. "Moreover, working during the day and building at night will surely double your toil."
Mu Yuanxiu said, "Brother Li, Aunt Liu’s family doesn’t have much farmland, so you don’t need to worry."
"Our family only has two acres of land, not much farming to do," Second Lady Liu remarked. "We can light torches at night and see just as clearly."
Li Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Brother, how about this. Let’s follow what Second Lady Liu suggested. First, prepare for the house construction, and on Lady Liu’s side, let’s send someone to persuade her more. Let’s be prepared on both fronts."
"Exactly, exactly, that’s what our family means," Second Lady Liu repeatedly affirmed, "This way, your affairs won’t be delayed."
"Alright, let’s do it this way," agreed the Princely Heir, "but as for the wages, they will only be settled once the house is completed."
The cave is very damp and not suitable for a long stay.
Moreover, it is not very convenient for a family of men and women of all ages to live together.
The sooner you have the chance to move, the better it is.
Second Lady Liu agreed, "Our family has always had the rule of building houses for the master, and we never ask for money until the house is completed."
Building a house is a tedious and important affair.
The Princely Heir, Li Yuzhu, and Mu Yuanxiu accompanied Second Lady Liu to revisit the Liu Family’s second branch.
Everyone carefully discussed the matter once again.
As the Princely Heir was managing the affairs, Second Young Master Li and Li Xing’an were always too lazy to worry.
They had no objections to building the house at night.
Liu the bricklayer said, "After dinner tonight, I’ll first go to your place to take a look at the site."
The Princely Heir thanked him, "Then I’ll leave it to you, Old Liu."
After discussing, everyone left Liu’s second house.
Mu Yuanxiu had other matters to attend to and parted ways with them.
Li Yuzhu glanced at the sky, "The weather’s good today, I’ll dig some herbs before going back."
Saying this, she went to take the bamboo basket off Li Xing’an’s shoulder.
Li Xing’an and Second Young Master Li both pressed down on the bamboo basket, saying in unison, "I’ll go with you!"
The Princely Heir nodded, "Alright then, Second and Third brothers, accompany the third sister, make sure to return to the mountain in good time, and don’t go too far."
"Got it!" the two replied cheerfully.
The Princely Heir shook his head in amusement and returned to Niu Tou Mountain alone.
Li Yuzhu dusted off her sleeves and turned to leave, "Let’s go, we should head that way, there’s a hill in front."
She owed the space quite a few herbs, so today she was determined to dig up a lot.
Also, she planned to gather herbs for bruises, colds, and coughs, to keep as a supply at home.
However, before she took a step, the two brothers pulled her in another direction, "Go this way! There’s a forest this way, and plenty of herbs in the forest!"
Second Young Master Li pointed in the opposite direction.
Third Young Master Li Xing’an quietly gave Second Young Master Li a thumbs up.
Second Young Master Li raised an eyebrow proudly, thinking that it was, of course, wise to stay cautious!
How could their beautiful sister head in the same direction as Mu Yuanxiu?
What if they bumped into each other?
Given how pretty their sister was, they couldn’t just allow her to encounter ill-intentioned individuals.
Li Yuzhu didn’t have a particular spot in mind for digging herbs.
She was just casually walking in a direction earlier, but since the brothers were opposed, she wouldn’t go there.
"Alright, let’s go that way."
"Yes!" the brothers nodded happily.
The three of them cheerfully entered a forest.
Li Yuzhu started digging for herbs.
The brothers didn’t idle around either; they searched for wild rabbits.
On the way, they had quietly agreed that they must give a wild rabbit to Mu Yuanxiu.
