Chapter 311: Renovating The House ( 1 )

It took Yao Zhi 1 hour to cook the braised pork belly. When the dish was ready, the Ling squad had returned from the land.

Since her husband had returned, Yao Zhi would have her meal with him in their room. So, they divided the food and carried their portions back to their room.

The moment they walked out of the backyard, Fu Chen’an saw a group of men, only wearing their pants, washing up near the well. He quickly used his body to block his wife’s sight and asked coldly, "What are you all doing?"

Everyone had heard from Xi Si that their Master’s husband had returned home and would stay for a month.

They thought that he was not around, so they planned to wash up quickly and return to their room. Unexpectedly, they bumped into their male master during this awkward moment.

Meeting Fu Chen’an’s cold gaze, Ling Shi’er’s eyes darkened.

He and his brothers said nothing, and it was Ling Shiqi who replied, "Master, the weather is too hot, and we are sweating after working in the land. We thought that you were not at home, so we planned to have a quick wash before you returned."

When Yao Zhi heard this, she said, "Then quickly finish your shower and go have your meal." After she said this, she tugged at her husband’s sleeve and added, "Husband, let’s go back to our room."

Fu Chen’an turned and saw that his wife had her eyes closed. Seeing this, his irritation lessened, and he held her hand. He led her to their room and closed the door.

Only after they were inside the room did Yao Zhi open her eyes and place the tray on the table.

Fu Chen’an set up the table and said, "Wife, we should build a bathhouse so they won’t bathe in public anymore."

Yao Zhi noticed the sourness in her husband’s tone and nodded in agreement. She had long wanted to build a better toilet. It was torture for her to finish her nature call in their current toilet.

Although she could go to her shared manor now, she couldn’t risk someone noticing her disappearing from time to time. Also, building a bathhouse would make it easier for Xi Yi and her daughter to bathe. Carrying buckets of water to fill a wooden bath was tiring.

"How about we go ask the craftsmen in town tomorrow?" she asked.

"Don’t you want to go to the mountain tomorrow?" Fu Chen’an asked.

"We can go another day. Solving this matter is more urgent," Yao Zhi said and added in her heart, "It’s better to solve it soon, or someone’s vinegar jar might topple over again."

Fu Chen’an’s mood clearly brightened after he heard his wife’s words. He handed a pair of chopsticks to his wife and said, "Let’s eat while it’s warm."

While the two of them were having their dinner, the Ling brothers had finished their quick shower and returned to their room. They still had dinner with Xi Yi and her children.

During the meal, she suddenly said, "Tonight, my children and I will sleep in our room."

Ling Shijiu was taken aback by her words and asked, "Sister Yi, if you sleep in the small room, then where will my brothers and I sleep?"

"We will put a curtain on the bed. My children and I will sleep on the bed, and the brothers can sleep on the floor."

The ground of the new rooms was covered with wood and not dirt like Yao Zhi’s current room. So, it was okay for them to sleep on the floor. They had their bedding and could just find a spot to sleep.

Since the women had no complaints about sleeping in the same room as the men, they had no objections. After dinner, they cleaned up the table and washed the dishes.

Everyone was tired after a day of working, so they slept soon after sunset.

As for Yao Zhi and her husband, they were currently discussing the design for the bathhouse. Since it was hard for her to explain, she said, "Husband, I will bring you to a good place."

Before Fu Chen’an could ask, his vision blurred, and the next moment, he was standing in a beautiful garden.

"Wife, where are we?" he asked.

"This is the shared manor my master prepared for us. This place is a mustard seed. Besides this main courtyard, there are three smaller courtyards," Yao Zhi said again, lying without blinking.

Fu Chen’an no longer doubted her words after he learned about her background. For the next hour, he followed his wife as they toured the manor.

He was so amazed by it and asked, "Wife, how long can we stay inside this place?"

"There is no time restriction. We can stay as long as we want. Also, the time inside this place is the same as outside. So, you don’t have to worry about losing track of time."

He nodded in understanding. After they walked for more than 1 hour, they went to the master bedroom in the main courtyard.

Yao Zhi showed him the bathroom and said, "I want to build a bathhouse like this. Also, the outhouse needs to be changed. The current one is not very hygienic."

Fu Chen’an looked at the bathroom thoughtfully. To convince him, she even let him take a shower first before letting him soak in the bathtub.

While he enjoyed his bath, Yao Zhi went to the junior bedroom’s bathroom and took a shower. When she was done, her husband was still not finished.

Fearing that something had happened to him, she knocked on the door and asked, "Husband, are you not done yet?"

The water was still warm, and he was reluctant to leave. But his skin had started to wrinkle, so Fu Chen’an could only stand up and reply, "I’m done."

He used the towel and was surprised by how soft it was. He changed into a set of clean clothes. When he walked out, he felt refreshed and looked younger.
