Chapter 49

Ji Jiu entered the house and gave Gui Hua two boxes of snacks. She told them to share it with the people at both houses. She gave the other box to Aunt Qiao and Uncle Yu. She didn't like sweets so she didn't care at all.

 She sat down and finished eating and went into her room, saying only that the necessities at the front of the house could be handled by Aunt Qiao. As for the weapons, let Uncle Kang take them to the four brothers. Aunt Qiao accepted and let Ji Jiu go to rest.

 As soon as he entered the room, Ji Jiu hurriedly thought about the account. She really bought a lot of things today. The total cost of the items was exactly 200 taels. Her snacks were 500 baht. It was good that she brought a bill of exchange with her so she didn't feel embarrassed when she bought so much. Ji Jiu now had two 100-tael bills of exchange, 20 taels of silver, and 400 taels of silver. She separated A Yu's money for herbal medicine. This left her with 18 taels, 600 baht, and everyone's necessities should be complete. Waiting to build a new house for them and then go buy a new bed for them later.

 Ji Jiu finished accounting and didn't want to sleep because it would soon be cold. So she walked out of the room to see if the things she had bought were in order. Aunt Qiao saw her coming out and reported everything to her. She said that she kept the stove and large kitchen equipment in the warehouse. When using it, take it out. Including unnecessary crockery as well. Right now, the shelves in the kitchen only include all 9 items. Just more people joining in. Waiting for the new house and new kitchen to be finished before re-arranging. Ji Jiu nodded that she understood. After talking with Aunt Qiao, she saw Brother Wenting standing in front of the house.

 Ji Jiu walked up to him and asked if there was anything. Wen Ting hurriedly bowed to Ji Jiu and thanked him for the weapons she had given them. He promised that if he recovered, he would go up the mountain and hunt for her. Food that nourishes the body Ji Jiu laughed. She told Wenting that there were no wild animals on the mountain. Because the last dry season had already migrated away a long time ago, making Wen Ting's face glaze over.

"Then why did Mistress buy us weapons?" he asked curiously.

"I just bought it for you guys to practice in your free time," she replied as she thought. After all, there was no danger right now, but she wasn't sure if anyone would cause trouble for her in the future. Therefore, prevention is better than cure.

"I understand, sir. Then after we recover, we will practice well. If Mistress wants to use one of us, just tell me."

 Ji Jiu nodded in agreement. and told him to take good care of her body so that in the future if someone caused problems for her, they would be able to protect her. Wenting also promised to protect her with his life. Made Ji Jiw mentally exhausted. She told him not to risk his life for her. If he were still alive, he would be able to help her even more. Wenting could only smile at Young Mistress's strange thoughts and excused herself to rest.

 In the evening, at dinner time, Ji Jiu told Aunt Qiao that tomorrow someone would come to deliver furniture to the two temporary houses. She also told Li Hui to take care of the things in her house. and inform Brother Wenting to her as well. Li Hui accepted her words in a low voice. She didn't dare protest any more. The mistress had arranged for her. She just accepted it. Aunt Qiao saw Li Hui's adjustment and smiled knowingly at Ji Jiu. Ji Jiu only shyly turned away.

 Tonight, Ji Jiu can rest comfortably. If she didn't prepare things for them, she would feel uncomfortable. She still has a lot of money, she can get it again at any time. It's good that her wealth is still intact.

 The next morning, everyone did their usual routine. Ji Jiu waited for the furniture store to deliver until late in the morning. Kang Jin, who had been waiting in front of the main gate, led three carts to arrive. Aunt Qiao peeked over and was shocked. Ji Jiu ordered so many things. Yesterday, she also forgot to return the change to Ji Jiu. The remaining money from this purchase was 5 taels, 900 baht. When Aunt Qiao realized this, she walked over and gave it to Ji Jiu. Ji Jiu took the money in a daze. After listening to Aunt Qiao, she gave the money back to Auntie. She said that she would buy it next time so that she wouldn't have to give it back and forth so often, so Aunt Qiao could only accept it. Ji Jiu also took the money for 1 tael of herbs and 700 Yi Pae for Aunt Qiao to keep. She said that Uncle Yu did this work and kept it for her. Aunt Qiao only thanked her and accepted it with a smile.

 Ji Jiu went to look at the makeshift house and found that they were helping to carry things into their rooms. The shower room and toilet were already set up. Ji Jiu saw this and nodded with a light smile and walked over to look at the new house being built on the other side.

 The tiled roof is now complete. Inside, Uncle Ai was making various rooms according to the designs Ji Jiu had designed.
