Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 158: Wasting Your Identity as a Transmigrator
Mrs. Qi’s eyes were wide open, looking extremely angry.
In contrast, Yi Meng just frowned after hearing, then looked down and asked her daughter in her arms, "Manbao, tell Mom, do you really want to live in a big house?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Qi Manman nodded vigorously, "Mom, can we live in a big house?"
The little girl’s voice had a distinctly childlike tone, making everyone feel joyful.
But Yi Meng recalled some things that happened in the latter half of the night.
She didn’t know if it was because she had a bad sleep or something else; she always felt like someone in her dream was constantly criticizing her.
"Clearly you know that Manbao is a little fairy sent down by the Heavenly Dao, with warnings and space and all, yet whenever the child says something, you don’t listen right away, but instead, you hesitate constantly?"
"You waste your identity as a time traveler, having traveled through so many years, even having given birth to three kids, and you’re still so ordinary, almost losing your life."
"It’s a shame to the name of time travelers! he...tui!"
A series of criticisms made Yi Meng both angry and embarrassed, wanting to retort that she was just an ordinary person before time traveling, without any of those eighteen kinds of skills that the time-traveling heroines in novels have.
But even if she said it out loud, she felt it was embarrassing.
She might not have the eighteen kinds of skills, but she has a daughter!
Such a good daughter, and she still hasn’t fully believed, always carrying a doubtful attitude; this was her own fault!
The experiences in the dream flashed quickly through her mind, Yi Meng raised her head and said to Qi Zheng, "Dad, I think this house is not bad. Although five taels a month is a bit expensive, it’s spacious enough. Our family could move out, and then leave this house for everyone to arrange. Our family could live in one big house alone, which would be convenient whether growing vegetables or doing anything else later."
"Otherwise, if we really choose a house a bit far away, coming back and forth would not only freeze us but also easily attract others’ attention."
The elder family members were able to listen to Yi Meng’s words.
Especially Mrs. Qi, once she heard that her precious granddaughter wanted to live in a big house, how could she care about anything else!
"I also think this is doable! Old man, go with Old Second to check that house."
After a pause, Mrs. Qi added: "Old Fourth’s wife, you don’t have to be busy either, call Old Fourth and you guys go check it out too."
"Manbao is going too!"
Qi Manman immediately raised a chubby little hand.
"Go, go! Grandma is going too!"
Mrs. Qi immediately changed her mind.
Originally, she didn’t want to go.
The weather was cold, and her old bones feared the cold, also fearing her little granddaughter getting cold.
But since her little granddaughter wanted to go, she certainly had to follow, otherwise she wouldn’t be at ease.
This time, following the old lady’s orders, not to say the whole family got busy, at least half the people followed.
Although everyone didn’t know what had happened, with Qi Ercai rushing back and both the old man and old lady going out, they certainly had to follow, or else what if something big really happened?
The Qi Family’s unity was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Except for the wives staying at home to take care of the sick, all the sons who weren’t sick followed Qi Ercai, the two elders, and even two doctors towards the alley.
The noise was a bit much, immediately someone opened a crack in the door to look outside.
Seeing a dozen tall and strong men moving, they quickly closed the door, afraid to cause any trouble.
Arriving at the second courtyard inside, Mr. Qian was sweeping the snow in the front yard, only clearing a path for people to walk.
Hearing footsteps, Mr. Qian looked up only to see a group of people rushing in, instantly turning pale: "What, what do you want?"
Mr. Qian’s first reaction was that someone was causing trouble.
Qi Ercai walked in the middle, quickly stepped up after hearing the voice, and said with a smile, "Brother Qian, my family came and they all want to see how this house is."
"They’re all your family?"
Mr. Qian suspiciously looked at the others.
Qi Ercai nodded and began introducing everyone.
Upon hearing the introductions of father, mother, brothers, and nephews, Mr. Qian’s heart finally settled slightly, but he still advised, "You can look, but don’t break anything."
"Hey! We definitely won’t mess with anything."
Qi Ercai agreed, gesturing to the family behind him, and everyone started looking around.
Qi Sangui quietly walked over to Mr. Qian and reached for his broom: "I’ll sweep."
"This, how could I dare let you?"
Mr. Qian was just bored while waiting for people, so he swept a little snow, otherwise just standing around would be cold.
And they hadn’t even decided whether to really rent the house, how could he let them clean?
"It’s fine."
Qi Sangui reached out and took the broom, and began to quietly sweep the snow.
Yi Meng, holding her daughter, walked around and saw that the little girl opened her eyes wide looking around, seemingly without any fear, she then whispered to ask, "Manbao, is this house good?"
"Good!"
The little girl nodded vigorously, "Mom, this house is good, Manbao likes it!"
Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Yi Meng felt even more relieved, nodding in the direction of Qi Quanjin.
Receiving his wife’s signal, Qi Quanjin then pulled Qi Ercai and Mr. Qian to talk.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Qi Family had decided on this house.
Five taels of silver a month, rented for three months minimum.
Initially, the government had set a minimum of one year for renting, but as time passed, no one wanted to rent this house, so the rental period had been lowered repeatedly, which worked out for the Qi Family.
"Brother Qian, let’s finalize this. When do you have time for us to sign the agreement?"
Qi Ercai was pleased to see the house finalized.
Such a large house was much more comfortable to live in than the little one.
Mr. Qian was even happier, "We can do it now! Brother Ercai, will you go with me, or will someone else from your family come with me?"
"I’ll go with my second brother."
Qi Quanjin volunteered, "My family will stay first to tidy up the house, is that okay?"
"That’s fine!"
Mr. Qian had no objections at all.
Qi Quanjin went to find his wife, took twenty taels of silver from her, stashed it in his chest, and went with Qi Ercai and Mr. Qian towards the government.
The Qi Family was excited too, hurrying back to the small house to gather cleaning tools, and rushed back to start cleaning the second courtyard.
Yi Meng, holding Qi Manman walked around a big circle, and when they reached the front door, everyone else had already gone back.
"Mom, shall we go back too? We’ll come back after we’ve cleaned up."
Yi Meng suggested to Mrs. Qi beside her.
Mrs. Qi was about to agree, when unexpectedly Qi Manman suddenly grabbed her mother’s clothes, eyes full of hope, and asked, "Mom, can we go to the back courtyard instead?"
