In fact, Mingxiu also understood that they were just a group of ignorant people and not worthy of being angry, but being pointed out like this made him unavoidably angry.

After all, she is just an ordinary person.

Xie Zhan was choked by Mingxiu's faint words, and the next words were stuck in his throat.

He believed that if he said the following words at this time, it would not be necessary to drive him out directly with Mingxiu's temper.

This woman has always been very angry, but what makes her feel aggrieved is that, just like Mingxiu said, now he has to lower his head under the eaves. Even if he doesn't like Mingxiu, he can only lower his head and keep silent.

.

"...But your character is different from theirs. If you meet someone who is even worse off than you, will you add insult to injury?"

"Of course not."

Although he looked down on Mingxiu's sentimentality, Xie Zhan still had to admit that she was a kind person.

Of course, for him, goodness is not a virtue worthy of praise.

But Mingxiu was indeed very happy. She had figured out what kind of temper Xie Zhan was during this period. If he didn't really think so in his heart, he wouldn't have said this.

"That's right. If you look down on those people, if you improve your family's life in the future, no one will dare to look down on you."

Although she really doesn't want to admit it, the fact is that Mingxiu's state of mind and temperament determine that as long as she is not unlucky in the future, she will not be poor all her life. In this country, it is difficult to be rich and wealthy, but she must live a normal life.

It's not difficult to level up the village.

Mingxiu nodded slightly. Although he was still angry at those people talking nonsense, his mood felt much better.

"You're right, I shouldn't let those people's innocuous words affect my life."

Her temper came and went quickly. She was still angry just now, but now she could go into the kitchen to cook and chat with Ming's mother.

"Most of our house was damaged last time. Let's repair it later."

There is nothing wrong with the lack of rain in the weather now, but if it rains...

Mingxiu raised his head and glanced at the thatch above his head that could transmit the moonlight.

I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily outside and light rain inside.

"Your father thinks so too. He has been planning to go up the mountain to cut down some trees and get some mud in the past two days to repair it."

Their house would be fine as long as it was waterproof.

Mingxiu didn't think so, she was thinking about other things.

"Mom, if our house needs to be rebuilt, how much money will it cost?"

She has never left the village since she came here. She doesn't know the prices here, and she can be said to be completely ignorant of things outside.

Ming's mother looked at Mingxiu as if she were a child. She was not surprised that she didn't understand her. Mingxiu had lived in confusion for the past ten years. Now she finally wakes up. She should treat things in the world like a child.

.

"Although our house is dilapidated, it needs to be rebuilt... At least it will cost twenty taels of silver. Where can we get the money to repair the house now?" She looked at Mingxiu lovingly, "When autumn comes, your father and I will

If we open up two acres of wasteland, we won’t have much income in the first few years, but we won’t have to pay taxes. We have a small family, so we’ll just have enough to eat.”

When the land is cultivated, there will be some income later, and the money will gradually be saved to repair the house and plan Mingxiu's dowry.

Although she and Ming's father planned to find a son-in-law for Mingxiu, let alone what kind of family the son-in-law was, even if he was a good person, they still had to be able to support the son-in-law.

There will be many places where money will be spent in the future.

The weather did not go as planned, and rain began to fall from the sky in the evening. It started as a drizzle. Although there was some water damage in the house, it was not much.

"You all go to sleep. Mom brought a basin to fill with water. It won't make the room wet."

Mingxiu watched for a while and saw that Ming's mother was doing well and had no intention of helping. He just told her to rest early and went back to sleep.

After midnight, the rain gradually increased.

Originally, Ming's mother could still squint for a while, but by the third watch, Mingxiu had been woken up by the rain in her pocket. Her whole body was wet, and only her back was a little dry.

"mother!"

She ran quickly to her parents' room through the rain curtain.

As soon as I left the room, I found my parents and Xie Zhan taking shelter from the rain in the corner of the main room.

This is the only place that wasn't burned when there was a fire last time. Rainwater can't get in. Now it's the driest place in the house.

"Xiu'er, come quickly."

Ming's mother was in a hurry to bring Mingxiu over, but now she saw that Mingxiu had woken up, so she quickly took the raincoat on the side and went forward to put it on her body.

"I can't sleep tonight, so I need to rely on my mother to rest for a while."

Looking at the rain outside, Ming's mother was worried. It was raining so heavily and the terrain here was low. It would be okay for the family to get in the rain. Their house was originally a dilapidated house.

But be sure not to let the water in the river outside rise.

It's just midsummer now, if the water in the river rises and floods the crops, then...

Xie Zhan's face was equally ugly. He saw that all the clothes on Mingxiu's body were soaked and stuck to her bumpy body. Although there was a raincoat to block it, the half-covered look made it even more...

He turned his head to look at the rain, secretly hoping that the rain would come and go quickly. If this place became a disaster area, what would happen to the people?

Now that the treasury is empty, if there is another natural disaster, the desert will probably be in chaos again.

Fortunately, the rain gradually stopped as the sky grew brighter.

Ming's mother wanted to ask Mingxiu to go sleep some more, but the bedding at home was already soaked, and even the bed made of thatch was leaking water. How could anyone sleep in such a place?

Even if Mingxiu is careless, Ming's mother will not risk her daughter's health.

"You go wipe yourself first, and when it gets light, ask your father to go to the mountain to see if there is any dry firewood, and come back to dry your clothes and bedding, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night."

Although it is already summer, there is no way to completely dry the bedding throughout the day. If you want to sleep comfortably at night, you can only dry it.

But I don’t know if there is any dry firewood on the mountain today after it rained so heavily last night.

Even if it wasn't available, the bedding would still have to be dried in the thick smoke.

Mingxiu was originally in a state of confusion from the heavy rain. Although the roof beams could provide some protection from the rain, there was too much rain last night and a lot of water splashed down when it fell to the ground. She was already wet and dripping all over. But after listening to Ming's mother's words

But my heart was shocked.

"Let me go up the mountain with dad."

It rained last night, and there might be mushrooms on the mountain today. These things can not only add food to the family, but if they are in better condition and dried in the sun, they can be taken to the town to exchange for some money.

"But you..."

Ming's mother was worried. Her wet appearance made it difficult for her to trust her when she went out.
