Chapter 156: Brown-noser_1
Clan Leader Chen looked at his younger brother, Chen Sanyou and said, "Sanyou, your house has been burnt down too. When we return to the village, your family can stay at my place."
Chen Sanyou had no objection, but his wife, Mrs. Zhang, from the Zhang Family, said: "Thank you for your kindness, uncle, but my son Xiaoxiao and I will not be coming."
Their house was also being built on the South Slope, it was not completed either. She had already checked early in the morning, all the bricks, tiles, wood, and bamboo were still neatly piled up there, untouched.
Moreover, they had built two small cottages made of thatch next to their house, intended for the builders to rest. This place was just right for her and her son, Chen Xiao, to live in now.
The South Slope had access to water supplies and they had even opened up a small piece of vegetable garden next to their house. There was still turnip left in the garden, enough for mother and son to eat for a few days.
