Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Asking For Help (1)
As a person from another world, Duan Yixin was confused when she heard Sun Dagou’s words. Seeing her confused look, Sun Dagou thought she didn’t know about this ritual because she lost her mother just after she was born, and Grandpa Duan was always busy taking care of patients and had no time to teach her.

Sun Dagou thought for a while and said, “If you don’t know how to choose an auspicious day or don’t know how to prepare for the ritual, you can ask Brother Chi for help. I heard that you have a good relationship with his family. If you ask for help, they should be willing to help you. I only know a few words, so I can’t help you find an auspicious day.”

Duan Yixin thought for a few seconds and said, “I understand, Uncle Sun. I will go find Uncle Chi and ask him about this matter.”

Before Duan Yixin took a step, Sun Dagou stopped her, “Xin Niang, wait for a moment.”

Duan Yixin turned to look at him and asked, “Uncle Sun, is there anything else I need to prepare?”

Sun Dagou took out his money pouch and said, “Xin Niang, this is the money left after I paid the workers and bought the cooking ingredients. I spent two taels of silver to pay the workers’ wages and three hundred copper coins to buy the cooking ingredients. Including the thousand copper coins you gave my daughter-in-law, the remaining money is eight taels of silver and seven hundred copper coins.”

Duan Yixin looked at him for a few seconds before she took the money. She gave him one hundred copper coins and said, “This is your wage, Uncle Sun.”

After she kept the money, Sun Dagou hesitated for a second before asking, “The remaining ingredients…”

Duan Yixin smiled at him and said, “Uncle Sun, keep the rest of the cooking ingredients. Think of it as my thanks to your family for your help these days.”

Sun Dagou smiled happily and said, “All right. Then you can come to me after you have determined an auspicious date.”

Duan Yixin nodded and said, “All right.”

After saying a few more words to him, Duan Yixin said goodbye to Sun Dagou and went to find Chi Junheng. After she left, Sun Dagou informed the workers that he would contact them after Duan Yixin decided on the auspicious day.

When the workers heard this, they were disappointed. Before leaving, they asked Sun Dagou to contact them again if he had more work in the future. After Sun Dagou agreed, the workers left one after another.

At the same time, Duan Yixin met Liang Jiaying on her way to the Chi family’s house. When Duan Yixin saw her, she ignored Liang Jiaying. Seeing her calm expression, Liang Jiaying glanced at Duan Yixin with contempt.

Just as Duan Yixin walked past her, Liang Jiaying suddenly said, “Enjoy your life while you still have time.”

Duan Yixin stopped when she heard her words. Turning to look at Liang Jiaying, Duan Yixin frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, “What did you just say?”

Liang Jiaying smiled at her and said smugly, “I say, enjoy life while you can. Your good days are numbered.”

After saying that, she snorted at Duan Yixin and walked away. Duan Yixin stared at Liang Jiaying’s back and thought, ‘Is she out of her mind?’

Duan Yixin scratched her head in confusion, then turned around and continued on her way. Arriving in front of the Chi family’s house, she looked inside and saw Madam Chi sitting under the eaves.

She smiled and greeted Madam Chi, “Good morning, Aunt Wang.”

Hearing Duan Yixin’s voice, Madam Chi looked up from the clothes she was sewing. She saw Duan Yixin standing outside the fence, putting down her clothes and standing up. She walked up to Duan Yixin and said, “Xin Xin, you are here. Come in and have a chat.”

Duan Yixin nodded and said, “Thank you, Aunt.”

Madam Chi opened the gate for her and asked, “Are you looking for Ru’er?”

Duan Yixin walked in and replied, “I’m looking for Uncle Chi. Is Uncle Chi at home?”

“Your uncle is training with Dalang and Ru’er in the backyard. You sit down first, and I will call them.” Madam Chi replied with a smile.

After saying that, Madam Chi went to call her husband and children while Duan Yixin was waiting in the living room. She waited for a while before Madam Chi and the others arrived.

Seeing them coming, she stood up and greeted them, “Uncle Chi, Elder Brother Xiyou, Xinru. I’m sorry to bother your family so early in the morning.”

Chi Junheng motioned for her to sit down and said, “I heard your aunt say that you are looking for me.”

After Chi Junheng and others sat around the wooden table in the living room, Duan Yixin nodded and replied, “Yes. I just came back from inspecting the newly built wooden cabins.”

Chi Xiyou heard this and said, “I saw those wooden cabins this morning. What are you going to do with so many wooden cabins?”

Duan Yixin looked at him and said mysteriously, “Elder Brother Xiyou, you will know later.”

Looking at her smile, Chi Xiyou chuckled and said, “All right. I will wait for you to show them to me.”

After he said that, Duan Yixin looked at Chi Junheng and said, “Uncle Chi, I’m here to ask for help.”

Chi Junheng raised his eyebrows and asked, “What help do you need?”

“Uncle Sun said that I need to find an auspicious day and perform a ceremony before he can install the first beam of my wooden house. I want to know if you can help me solve this matter.” Duan Yixin explained calmly.

Chi Xinru heard this and asked, “Xin Xin, do you really want to build a wooden house?”

Duan Yixin nodded at her and said, “Yes.”

“Why not build a mud house? It will be cool in summer and warm in winter.” Chi Xinru asked curiously.
