After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 240 Sour and Sweet

When Xu Li heard this, he coughed lightly, trying to save his image.

But in just a moment, the last piece of sweet and sour pork in his hand was snatched away by Yifeng.

Xu Li looked at him with eyes almost spitting fire: Have you become bolder lately, boy?

Yifeng felt his murderous gaze and subconsciously moved behind Xia Wanniang.

Xia Wanniang looked up and saw Xu Li's angry eyes: "You like sweet and sour food?"

Xu Li sat up straight with a serious face: "Who likes sweet and sour? Sweet and sour."

Xia Wanniang said with regret, "That's such a pity. I was thinking about making sweet and sour fish or sweet and sour spareribs this afternoon. Since Master Xu doesn't like it, let's change it."

Xu Li's face froze: "It's okay to eat occasionally."

A group of people couldn't help but burst out laughing.

There was laughter and joy here, while other people were eating steamed buns with pickles. When they smelled the aroma of meat wafting over, the steamed buns in their hands became a little difficult to swallow.

Xia Wanniang was afraid that Aunt Xiao was tired, so she asked her to go back and rest at noon.

The children fell asleep leaning against the tree in the cool shade.

The weather is very good today, and they won’t feel cold sleeping here, so they just let them sleep like this.

Xu Li and his friends were full and were resting under another big tree. "Can you sell this fertilizer?"

Xia Wanniang leaned on Xiao Chiye's shoulder and answered him with her eyes closed: "Let's give it a try this year. If the effect is good, I will open a store to sell it without you telling me."

Xu Li leaned against the tree trunk behind him and said, "I never thought spring ploughing would be so difficult."

Yifeng sat cross-legged opposite him: "Master, this is just the beginning, there will be more work to do later."

"Ah!" Xu Li looked painful.

Xiao Chiye turned his head slightly and saw that the person next to him had fallen asleep. He adjusted his sitting position to allow her to sleep more comfortably.

Xu Li wanted to say something, but when he turned around and saw that she was asleep, he simply closed his eyes and leaned against the tree trunk to take a nap.

The spring plowing went smoothly, and people from Niujia Village came to buy curved plows and fertilizers the next day.

Xu Li cannot come every day, but every time he takes the next step, he will take a day to participate.

This was something Xia Wanniang had not expected. Although this person looked unusual, he could actually bring surprises to people most of the time.

After the spring plowing, everyone's skin color, whether it was the children or themselves, had become several shades darker.

The housing exhibition came to the village on time, and he needed to live in the village during the construction of the house.

Xiao Chiye rented the old house from Liu Laoshi's family and let Fang Zhan and his family live there.

After Fang Zhan and his two apprentices settled down, they came to the Xiao family to discuss matters concerning building a house.

Xia Wanniang wrote down what he needed at the beginning, as well as what he needed to ask for help.

They were going to invite quite a lot of people, and if they included meals, it would be troublesome to go shopping and cook every day, so they discussed it and decided to charge each person 30 cents a day without meals.

However, Xia Wanniang would occasionally give them extra meals. As for the food and accommodation of Master Fang and his three disciples, they were naturally included, and they could just eat with their family.

After the discussion, Xiao Chiye went to find Niu Li from Liu Changqing and Niu Wazi's village, wanting to ask them to help build the house.

The villagers were naturally happy. After the spring ploughing, they had more free time and could now earn thirty cents a day, which was nearly one or two taels of silver a month.

Who wouldn’t want to come?

Niu Li also happily agreed, agreed on the start time, and went to notify the villagers.

At night, Xia Wanniang and Xiao Chiye secretly left the house, took out the things they needed from the space, and piled them on the open space.

But they didn't dare take out too much. If they took out too many things at once, everyone would be suspicious. So they could only move out a little bit every night.

"Crackle!" The construction of their house officially began.

Everyone in the family went to join in the fun, leaving only Xia Wanniang at home to sort out the needed items.

"Excuse me, is this the Xiao family?" A pleasant male voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

Xia Wanniang put down the brush in her hand, walked to the gate of the yard and opened it.

A man with a clear moon and a gentle face, wearing a white Confucian robe, stood at the gate of the courtyard.

There was a horse beside him, pulling a box that looked like luggage.

"you are?"
