In the original owner’s memory, Li Xuewu only came back for a few days each year, basically leaving after the sowing was done. The original owner didn’t have many memories of this husband.
Over the years, without telegrams or letters, even if there were some feelings originally, they had basically been worn away. Moreover, Su Yunxi, who had transmigrated, had even less affection to speak of.
Seeing Su Yunxi’s firm gaze, Wang Youtian sighed softly.
He lamented that Li Xuewu was a confused person, but in this era, divorce was a very shameful thing.
Fortunately, their village had a simple and honest atmosphere, and no one should bully this poor mother and daughter.
“Okay, Xuewu’s wife, don’t worry. If Xuewu is sensible, he will send the allowance to the brigade headquarters. I will keep Xuewu’s allowance and hand it over to you without missing a penny.”
Su Yunxi bowed slightly to Wang Youtian.
“Thank you, Uncle Captain.”
Wang Youtian led Su Yunxi to a dilapidated courtyard. Because it had been vacant for many years, two of the three rooms in the yard had collapsed, and the remaining one was also on the verge of collapse.
In this day and age, people had to do their best just to eat their fill, so they naturally wouldn’t think about occupying other empty houses.
After all, if someone lived there, they would have to keep repairing and maintaining it. The yards in the village weren’t worth much, and no one would want to take them for themselves if they were empty.
Wang Youtian first led people in to check the last room that hadn’t collapsed, and after confirming that the room was still habitable, he carefully instructed Su Yunxi.
“Xuewu’s wife, just make do with it and live here temporarily. I just checked, and the beams of this room are relatively thick, so there is no risk of collapse for the time being. I know you are capable. You don’t have to go to the fields to earn work points for the next two days. You can make some traps, catch some pheasants and rabbits, dig some wild vegetables, etc. I’ll help you organize people to rebuild the house. You have to provide a meal, right?”
Su Yunxi nodded, feeling that Wang Youtian’s arrangement was very reasonable, so she agreed. Seeing that Su Yunxi’s emotions were normal, Wang Youtian left with his men.
Su Yunxi handed Siya to Sanya to hold, and then took Daya and Erya into the room to tidy up.
Although it had been abandoned for a long time, the things in the room were still relatively complete.
There were tables, chairs, and benches, but they were a bit old and worn, but fortunately they could still be used.
“I’m sorry, kids, I’m going to make you suffer for a while.”
Su Yunxi looked at the children with some guilt. She had originally thought that after separating from the family, they would be able to live a good life, but now the children had to live in this house that could collapse at any time.
“It’s not hard, Mom. This is so much better than before!”
Daya’s eyes were bright. Although this place was dilapidated, Grandpa Captain said that he would find someone to rebuild the house.
Thinking that she would have her own room in the future and wouldn’t have to get up early to work every day and be scolded, Daya felt sincerely happy.
Erya and Sanya also thought the same way.
Seeing that the children had no complaints, Su Yunxi was relieved. She had transmigrated, and perhaps because she had borrowed the original owner’s body, she also shared the original owner’s mother-daughter relationship.
She also felt particularly sorry for the children. Fortunately, the children were sensible. If they were ungrateful, it would be terrible.
After tidying up the house, Su Yunxi settled Siya on the inside of the kang, ensuring that Siya wouldn’t fall off, and then took her daughters to the yard to tidy up.
The yard was full of wooden beams and clods of earth that had fallen from the collapsed house. Su Yunxi dragged the wood to one place. These wood could no longer be used, but they could be used as firewood.
Daya took Erya and Sanya to collect the broken adobe bricks, crushed them with stones, and then found dry grass to mix with these crushed adobe bricks to make new adobe bricks.
Su Yunxi sighed at the sight. The houses in the village were all built with adobe bricks, which couldn’t withstand the wind and sun all year round.
And most of the villages were very poor and couldn’t afford red bricks, let alone build houses with red bricks.
Seeing that the children were so young but worked so efficiently, Su Yunxi felt a pang of sadness. She wished that the space she had awakened in the apocalypse could have come with her.
She had hidden a lot of good things in that space.
Thinking of this, Su Yunxi’s eyes suddenly lit up. Today, she had been arguing with the original owner’s in-laws all day and hadn’t thought about her space ability at all. Anyway, there was no harm in trying, in case it came with her!
Su Yunxi glanced at the three children, seeing that they were still focused on crushing the adobe bricks and weren’t paying attention to her at all, so Su Yunxi closed her eyes and tried to summon the space.
Su Yunxi felt that the surrounding environment seemed to have a slight fluctuation. With a nervous heart, she opened her eyes and found that she had really appeared in the space.
The space was still the familiar space, but it was much smaller than it had been in the apocalypse.
Su Yunxi walked around the space. Originally, her space was divided into five major areas: food area, daily necessities area, valuables area, sundries area, and planting area.
But now, the area of the space was only half the size of one area, but fortunately this area was the food area.
Su Yunxi checked, and the food in this half of the area was basically rice, flour, grains, and oil, as well as a small amount of meat. As for the instant food and snacks she had collected before, they happened to be in the other half that hadn’t been opened.
