"Place the oil by the oil can in the kitchen…"
"Put the cloth and cotton in Mother's house. Her house is big."
The men were instructed by Second Sister-in-law Guan. They were tired and put away all the things they had bought.
Over the past few days, all the curious villagers knew that the Guan family was building a wall!
The villagers were a little surprised. They originally thought that the Guan family was going to build a new house. They were still thinking that the Guan family's original house was big enough. Why did they need to build another house? When they saw that there was a tall wall, they understood what was going on.
Build a wall? This wasn't a big deal, but in the village in the mountains, it was very prominent.
This was because not many villagers had such money or were willing to spend this much money to build a wall.
Yunwu Village had always been very safe. Perhaps it was because the entire mountain range was big and the deep mountains weren't located near them at all. The villagers also didn't have land to farm grains, so no wild beasts would run down.
If every family knew each other, why would there be a need to build a wall?
Moreover, they were poor. There was nothing valuable in their houses at all. The slightly valuable items would just be locked in the cabinets since everyone's doors were open.
Now, only the Guan family had built a wall. This was unexpected. At a glance, their house seemed to have risen from the ground.
After a round of heated discussion, the villagers were surprisingly understanding. "Last time, the Guan family's triplets were almost taken away. They must be afraid that their children will be stolen in the future."
"That's true."
"No wonder. The money for building this wall was exchanged by Guan Chibei when he went hunting in the mountains. In that case, Guan Chibei's family doesn't owe the entire Guan family anything…"
The villagers actually automatically understood the reason.
Then, it became a discussion about the Guan family's wall.
The Guan family's wall was built high. It was close to two meters tall. It was hard and firm. There were mud bricks inside and a layer of mud outside. The workers had dug them from the foot of the mountain.
This height was already very impressive in ancient times. The cost of bricks would be more, and the Guan family had indeed spent a lot.
Hence, everyone was saying that Guan Chibei was capable and could protect the children.
The Guan family behind the wall looked even more secure and had an indescribable aura.
Therefore, many villagers were jealous when they saw this.
"Oh, does the Guan family dislike the fact that everyone's doors are open?"
"Tsk, is the Guan family now a big family in the city?"
"In the future, will the Guan family interact less with the villagers? Their house is fenced up, and the wall is built so high…"
Their words were sour and sarcastic. These were spoken by the pettiest women in the village.
However, most people were not that extreme.
"Sigh, it's not that I want to say this, but if our family were rich, we also would've wanted to build a wall. Who knows if outsiders will e up the mountain and enter the village to steal things…"
"Yes, there were thieves who sneaked in last time."
"Ignoring the foot of the mountain and the neighboring villages, aren't there hooligans in the villages at the mountainside as well?"
"That's true. There are few people in the mountains. Our village is dangerous here."
In short, the villagers were surprised and shocked by the Guan family's construction of a wall. They actually had a positive understanding of it, but they just kept discussing it.
It was normal. The village was peaceful all year round and not a lot of things happened. The Guan family's matter was considered big.
In the house, Ye Lulu heard the cry of a goat. She instantly straightened her body, her eyes shining with surprise. "There's a goat?"
Did she hear wrongly?
