    Li Zheng frowned. “If you have anything to say, just say it. Why did you bring the wine? Isn’t it expensive?”


    “My father made these before. No one drinks them now, so I brought them for you. Don’t mind them.”


    “Why would I mind?”


    Li Zheng smiled. “I’ll get your aunt to return the pot to youter.”


    Lu Sheng nodded and exined her purpose foring.


    “I want to buy some bricks, but I don’t know where to get them. Uncle, can you lead the way?”


    In the entire Liu Yue Vige, there were only a few families who could afford to stay in a brick house. One of them was Li Zheng’s family.


    She was not familiar with the other families. After some thought, she felt that the vige head was the most reliable.


    “Buy bricks?” Li Zheng did not understand. “Why do you want to buy bricks?”


    “I have my own uses. Uncle Li Zheng, can you do me this favor?”


    “Since I’ve already received the benefits, how can I refuse?” Li Zheng smiled and said, “You want to buy bricks, right? Go back first. I’ll bring you over after breakfast.”


    “Thank you, Uncle!”


    Lu Sheng thanked him and left.


    Mdm Fang, the wife of Li Zheng, walked out of the kitchen. “Why did that child want to buy bricks?”


    “I don’t know either.” Li Zheng pondered for a while before saying, “This child seems to have changed into a different person after what happened in the Lu Family.”


    When Mdm Fang heard that, she did not pay much attention to it and only said, “Whatever help she wants, just do it if you can. Now that Lu Ran has turned over a new leaf and returned to town to study, she’s the only one in charge at home. She must be under a lot of pressure.”


    Li Zheng nodded. “I know that.”


    Lu Sheng returned home and waited about thirty minutes. After that, Li Zheng came on an ox cart.


    “Lu Sheng, let’s go!”


    Li Zheng shouted outside the door.


    Lu Sheng hurriedly stood up and asked Lu Jiang to bring Lu Xin to the next door to find Aunt Yu and Liang Yuan to y. Then, she and Li Zheng boarded the ox cart and left.


    There was no one in Liu Yue Vige who knew how to make bricks. However, there was someone in the neighboring vige.


    The brick was not themon red brick. It was gray in color and two bricks cost one copper coin.


    Lu Sheng asked for 40,000 bricks and spent 20 taels of silver.


    As there were too many bricks, the seller distributed them in batches. The bricks were finally delivered in the evening.


    Seeing the courtyard filled with bricks, everyone in the vige was puzzled. Even Aunt Yu ran over to ask her why she bought so many bricks.


    Lu Sheng said that they were used to build a wall. However, other than Aunt Yu, no one believed her.


    It was not until the next day when Lu Sheng was recruiting workers from the vige, saying that a day’s pay was fifty taels and inclusive of lunch did everyone believe her.


    A lot of people came to apply for the job. Lu Sheng chose a dozen well-known and honest men from the vige. Including Liang Ping, there were nearly twenty men.


    It took nearly half a month to finish the wall.


    The tomatoes and potatoes in the garden grew well as well.


    After the wall was constructed, Lu Sheng got someone to dig a pond in the backyard. She finished the rest of the task herself.


    She previously instructed the bricyer to leave a hole so that the river from the backyard could flow into the pond.


    To replenish her water supply regrly, she even dug a drainage channel to facilitate the use of waste water in the future.


    After that, she went to find some lotus flowers and nted them in the pond. Then, she poured the crayfish and river crabs from her Space Bracelet into the pond.


    “Second Sister, what are these? They look weird!”


    Ah Jiang asked in surprise as he stared at the crayfish.


    “This is called crayfish. I’ll make some for youter.”


    “Blind and deaf. What a strange name. Can it really be eaten?”


    Lu Jiang expressed his doubt.
