C51 So-called cooperation

As the two of them spoke, the manservant who had been following Shangguan Bai ran back, panting heavily.

"Miss Chen, Young Master Lu."

What else? Weren't all the conditions just agreed upon?

Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng looked at each other, puzzled.

"My master asked me to inform the two of you that since we have reached an agreement, there is no need to go to the Feng Residence for the agreement today. The Feather Workshop will represent Lady Chen to the Feng Residence to find the Young Lady Feng to measure our strength." The servant stood in front of the two and said while gasping for breath.

Running so fast, he wasn't afraid of losing his breath.

Seeing the expression on his face, Chen Mu asked with concern, "Are you tired? Would you like me to pour you a cup of water?"

Speaking to here, she suddenly realized that when Shangguan Bai came to Aunt Wang's home just now, she and Lu Jinfeng had not even poured a cup of water for him.

However, there was nothing in Aunt Wang's house to entertain the guests. The water was still the water from the well, and she was afraid that Shangguan Bai would not be used to it.

The servant shook his head and replied, "I've brought my message to Young Master and I still need to reply. I won't disturb you any longer."

If she didn't drink it, then so be it. She was too lazy to fetch water, but Shangguan Bai's words made her feel a little conflicted.

"Our cooperation hasn't been finalized yet, how can the Feather Workshop be the judge for me?"

"There's only one more contract. How can you say that it isn't finalized?" The attendant looked puzzled, "Miss Chen, this is the rule of businessmen, don't make things difficult for me."

"Rules are rules, but my cooperation with Feather Workshop has not been completed yet, so it's not counted yet." Although Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu was sometimes careless, she did not miss out on the details of the business, "Those who do business most value honesty and trustworthiness, since I have promised Young Lady Feng that I will keep my promise, I cannot go back on my words."

"But …"

"It's one thing for me to cooperate with Feather Workshop, but the agreement between me and Young Lady Feng is before cooperating after all, so I can't let you guys represent me in this transaction." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu had a face full of determination, "Of course, after Young Lady Feng and I have received the order, we can give it to the Feather Workshop and split the profits according to the contract."

"I see." The attendant pondered for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I'll go report it to the young master. You should proceed with your original plan."

"Thank you for taking a trip." Chen Mu Mu Mu said.

"It's not hard work, it's my honor to work for Young Master." As the attendant spoke, he turned around and ran back.

Chen Mu Mu Mu stared at his back as he lamented, "This little fellow is truly hardworking. If there's a chance in the future, I can consider poaching him."

Lu Jinfeng looked at her speechlessly, "You really want to pounce on a man the moment you see him."

"Tsk, don't make me look like I'm starving and want to eat. If I don't look like that freak Shangguan Bai, I won't even be able to catch my eye." Chen Mu said.

"Shangguan Bai doesn't like you." Lu Jinfeng emphasized.

"You're not Shangguan Bai, how do you know he doesn't like me?" Chen Mu Mu scoffed.

"Did you not notice that after Shangguan Bai entered the courtyard of the Aunt Wang, although he was also sitting on a stool, there was still a hint of disgust in his eyes?" Lu Jinfeng's face revealed a smirk, "He doesn't think much of this house, he doesn't think much of the things in this house, so he naturally doesn't think much of you."

"But he cooperated with me." Chen Mu Mu choked on his words.

Shangguan Bai was the son of a wealthy family, he had been used to extravagant food since young, and it was normal for him to not get used to dirty places, furthermore, he was wearing white and sitting on a chair and dusting himself. This reaction was normal, but what did Lu Jinfeng say?

Chen Mu Mu Mu smiled, "Lu Jinfeng, I have to say, you are usually very meticulous, why are you not even pouring a cup of water for your guests? You can't be refusing it on purpose, right?"

"So what? He didn't even drink when we brought it up." Lu Jinfeng said.

"You! "What a lousy teammate." Chen Mu Mu pointed at his forehead with his index finger and said, "No matter how jealous I am, I still have the proper etiquette. He's my business partner, and also your business partner. How can you treat God of Fortune like this?"

Lu Jinfeng dodged her flick of a finger and snorted: "Didn't you forget as well?"

"I was excited, and you were doing it on purpose." Chen Mu Mu Mu said angrily.

"There's no difference, I'm sorry." Lu Jinfeng was a little gloating, "So don't worry, Shangguan Bai won't like you."

"You lunatic, I can't be bothered with you." Chen Mu Mu was infuriated.

After sending Shangguan Bai and his servant away, they arrived at the Village Chief's house. It was already late in the morning, and Aunt Wang and his servant had coincidentally walked out of the room. It was unknown whether they were happy or worried.

The Village Chief saw them off and took a glance at Chen Mu Mu Mu before saying, "If you really want that piece of land, just give me a word tomorrow. If you miss this chance, there won't be any more good land for the next time."

Aunt Wang responded, but her heart was heavy.

Chen Mu Xin was curious, but just as he was about to greet the village chief, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Forest Demoness playing chess at the side of the stone table in the courtyard.

Why did he see this godly stick everywhere? It was as though it was made out of dog skin paste!

Chen Mu Mu Mu secretly scolded her. Forest Demoness received her gaze and smiled at her amicably. He looked at a stranger and said, "Little miss, are you interested in playing chess too?"

"Not interested." Chen Mu did not give them face as he said that, and followed the footsteps of Madam Lee and the others as they left.

"Ahh, young lady, you're just being untactful. It's still the village chief who can speak to me." The Forest Demoness shook her head and said.

"People of our age don't bother with little girls. Come, let's continue with the previous game." The village chief sat back down at the stone table and continued to hold the chess piece.

Chen Mu Mu Mu turned back to look at the two middle-aged men who had already thrown themselves into the game of chess. They were engaged in a fierce battle and didn't even notice her line of sight.

"Looks like the Village Chief has a good relationship with Taoist Master Lin." Chen Mu Mu Mu sighed.

"He rarely came to the village before, and his relationship with the village head wasn't that good either." Lu Jinfeng seemed to have thought of something, he turned and asked Madam Lee, "Mother, when you came over, did you see Taoist Lin or did he arrive behind you and Aunt Wang?"

"Before we came, Taoist Master Lin was already here." When he mentioned the Forest Demoness, her eyes revealed admiration and admiration, "Taoist Master Lin is a good person, I just heard that we were looking for a place, and even spoke nicely to the Village Chief, that's why he was willing to sell us that land for a cheap price."

After pausing for a moment, she continued with a worried look, "But this is cheap, and to us, it is also a cost that we cannot take out."

Forest Demoness had been circling around them recently. Was it because they wanted to take care of their disciple or had they other plans?

When Chen Mu Mu thought about what he had said to the Forest Demoness and the Forest Demoness in Lu Jinfeng's old home that night, and what he had experienced during that period of time, his gaze darkened.

Something to do with Lu Jinfeng's ancestry?

Lu Jinfeng clearly thought of this point, and his expression became extremely solemn.

Aunt Wang and Madam Lee did not see the expression of the two and continued to talk. Aunt Wang was in favor of Madam Lee buying the land, "If we miss the opportunity, we will not return again, so the price of a good village chief is already very low. If you really do not have money, I can ask my son for some."

"How can I do that? It's not easy for a noble to stay in the town. I've already troubled you a lot, so how can I bother him anymore?" The Madam Lee shook her head, "We just want to find a place to stay. There's no need for such expensive rooms, if we spend all our money on houses, how will we live in the future?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu asked curiously, "Mother, why are you so hesitant? How much silver do you want for that piece?"

"Eighty taels of silver." The Madam Lee sighed, her eyes filled with reluctance and hesitation, "Just a plot of land would cost fifty taels of silver, and this doesn't even include the cost of building a house. If you calculate it roughly, it would at least cost two to three hundred taels of silver, it's too expensive."

Although she said it was expensive, Madam Lee's hesitating expression showed her fondness for the land.

The corner of Chen Mu Mu's mouth twitched. When she had no money, a few coins were all treasures. Now that she had some money, a few hundred taels were poured out like water.

Could it be that she really didn't have the money to save?

Lu Jinfeng's eyes flashed, "Mother, is that piece of land chosen by the Forest Demoness as a master?"

"That's right, he said that the Feng Shui is excellent and that it is a place to avoid disaster. If we build a house there, we will be rich and safe, and our days will be smooth and free from disease and worry." Madam Lee said.

The Forest Demoness said the land was good, then she shouted out a price to the Village Chief?

Chen Mu Mu's eyebrows twitched. "Mother, may I ask if Forest Demoness told you about the land in secret or in front of the Village Chief?"

"Of course it was said in front of the Village Chief. This is not something shameful, and furthermore, that land is a good land, even if Forest Demoness were to tell us in private, others would still know about it." Madam Lee protected Forest Demoness very well, "Forest Demoness is a good person."

Another one had been brainwashed by Lin Shen Lang. This Madam Lee was simply sold back to him for money.

Lin Shimeng was just about to screw over his disciple.

Rural land was not worth much money at all, especially the land of the Apricot Rain Village. It was rare for there to be a house or fruit tree that could be planted. If it wasn't used as a house, then it would probably be abandoned. Furthermore, he didn't need to spend much to make a house, so he had to raise the price to 80 taels of silver. Wasn't this just a typical scam?

Chen Mu Mu rubbed his glabella, "Mother, since you like it so much, let's go take a look at that piece of land."

But since the Madam Lee was interested, she decided to first go and have a look. If things really weren't good, she could just advise the Madam Lee to leave.

If he really couldn't do it, he could just rent a shop in the town to live in and do business.

With Chen Mu Mu's command, Madam Lee and Aunt Wang led Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng to their destination.

"If you want to buy it, this land belongs to us." Madam Lee pointed to a piece of barren land in front of them.

Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu observed the surroundings and the style of the land, and his expression was filled with shock.

This piece of land was at least 1,000 square meters large. There was a river not far from them, and on both sides of the river were cedar trees and bamboos. The air was more than just the word 'good'.

What was lacking in beauty was that this place was relatively far from the other villagers' houses. It belonged to the innermost part of the village, and people rarely visited it. There were weeds everywhere.

However, peace and quiet had its benefits. In any case, Lu Jinfeng and Madam Lee were not liked by the villagers.

"It seems that I have misunderstood the Lin Clan's Divine Staff." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu muttered. This godly staff was indeed very considerate towards his disciple.
