C65 A very expensive house

Chen Mu Mu rubbed his head, but didn't say anything.

It wasn't that she thought too much, but the words of the Aunt Wang were easily misunderstood. After all, the word "good" was usually associated with women.

"Mom, what is this good news?" Lu Jinfeng finally could not stand Chen Mu Mu's awkwardness and asked.

His voice quickly resolved the tense atmosphere, and the Madam Lee's attention was diverted away. He was laughing so hard that both his eyes nearly became slits.

"Your aunt and cousin said they want to come visit us. They haven't seen us in a long time."

"Aunt, Cousin?" Lu Jinfeng muttered, his expression seemingly deep in thought.

Chen Mu Mu Mu was also stunned. She had 'married' to the Apricot Rain Village for a long time and was familiar with the Lu family's matters, but she had never heard of the Madam Liu having a daughter.

If it was the daughter of the Madam Liu, and also had a good relationship with the Madam Lee, why didn't she receive any news when the Madam Lee was pulled over to soak in the pig cage by the Madam Liu and the others?

I'm afraid it's just a matter of paper paste.

However, seeing that Madam Lee was so happy, Chen Mu was too lazy to say it out loud, maybe she was just overthinking it.

"Xiao Feng, did you forget that you have another aunt?" Madam Lee saw his astonishment and reminded him with a smile, "She's the one that your fourth uncle took care of when you were six years old. You guys even saw each other often when you were young."

"So it's her." Lu Jinfeng's eyes flashed, then said calmly: "We no longer have any relationship with the Lu family, Madam Liu's daughter, we should not have anything to do with her."

The Lu family's actions the last time had hurt his heart. He did not want to touch on the Lu family's matters again. Thus, he did not want to bother with his aunt and cousin.

The Madam Liu is the Madam Liu and Lu Yulian is Lu Yulian; they can't even be compared. Moreover, she had long passed on sher inheritance to your fourth uncle, so she can't be considered as the daughter of the Madam Liu. Madam Lee rolled her eyes at Lu Jinfeng, as he looked towards his aunt with great care, "Your aunt is different from your Madam Liu, you have interacted with her since you were young, so don't be confused."

Lu Jinfeng muttered to himself for a moment, before finally nodding his head: "Understood."

He knew about this aunt. Since she had been adopted by Fourth Uncle since she was very young, she had very little contact with the Madam Liu, so she was not affected by the Madam Liu's family, and was not bad to him and his mother. In her memories, every time she went back to her mother's house, she would bring her daughter along to meet with her parents. However, ever since Lu Dayi had passed away, this so called Aunt Chen did not have any other interactions with him. It was likely that he would normally look down on him and her.

However, the Madam Lee treated Lu Yulian as a good sister. It was rare for the Madam Lee to have a friend who could speak, and he could not bear to see through it. She paused. "When will they be back?"

"Her wife lives in Chang An City. Even if she wanted to come over, it would take her two to three days to get there." Madam Lee said with a happy expression. "For the next few days, you and Mu Mu will take a break as well. Don't disrespect your aunt and cousin and make fun of them."

"But if Aunt comes, we have no place for her." Lu Jinfeng thought for a moment, then reminded his.

When he passed away, his son and daughter-in-law occupied the old house. The old house was small and only had one room, so they would definitely not let Lu Yulian and his mother stay there. Then Lu Yulian and her daughter must have come to stay with them, but they had been living with the Aunt Wang since their home was not very spacious, so it would be difficult to get a child's seat in the house.

"There will be." The Madam Lee smiled mysteriously, and pointed to an old locust tree about a hundred metres to the east. The old locust tree had abundant leaves that covered the sky, and the leaves were enough to cover the sun and the sky, causing one to be able to faintly see a corner of the house, "That place used to be the Liu Family's courtyard, but now the entire family lives in the city and they are not willing to come back.

"Madam Lee and Aunt Wang looked at each other with satisfaction." Aunt Wang and I both thought that the house was not bad. Not only is the house spacious, it is also close to where Sister Wang is, so it's a good place to look after each other. "

Lu Jinfeng's mind stirred, he looked straight at Madam Lee, "Mother, how much is the house?"

Even if it was a remote village, it would not be cheap to buy a house. No matter what, it would have to be measured with silver coins.

Madam Lee had always been a hardworking person, she would not buy a house that was too expensive. However, Lu Jinfeng felt that it was best to ask about the price before being able to relax.

"Two hundred and fifty silver." Madam Lee said with a smile, "The Liu family's people said that if we are willing to buy, all of the things inside the house can be gifted to us. Once we get the room agreement, we can move in directly, which will save them a lot of effort."

What could there be in the house? It was just some furniture. But to Lu Jinfeng and his mother, who were like paupers and had nothing else to offer, any random piece of furniture was not a small temptation.

Chen Mu looked at Lu Jinfeng and his mother's expression, and quietly held onto his own waist pouch.

Feng Ling Xi gave her a total of 385 taels of silver. She gave Lu Jinfeng 200 taels of silver for the building of the house, gave Madam Lee and Aunt Wang 10 taels of silver for the building of the house, and also bought a horse carriage and some daily necessities.

She still had some money left in her hands, she would save it to buy some raw materials for their relationship. No matter what, she couldn't let the Madam Lee take it and squander it.

Without capital, how do you do business? Without money, it's hard to do anything.

She was like an iron rooster, and no one would ever be able to pluck a feather from her.

Lu Jinfeng naturally saw her actions, he gently shook his head, a hint of pampering flashed past his eyes, but he said to Madam Lee: "Since it's so expensive, we don't need this house anymore."

"Why not? That house is one of the best houses in our village, only the Liu family sold it because they couldn't stand it. If it was any other time, don't even think about it." Madam Lee frowned, "You all haven't even seen the house yet, how can you all reject it? With such a good thing, if you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your lives."

"Mom, it's too expensive." Lu Jinfeng's expression was calm, his tone had a trace of helplessness in it, "Two hundred and fifty silver taels, that is how many years of savings we have, how many years do we have to earn them? Even if the Liu Family's house is extremely good, where are we going to get the money to buy it?"

It was not like they did not know the situation of their Madam Lee. How could they dare to live in such an expensive house?

Not to mention two hundred and fifty silver taels, they wouldn't even be able to afford two hundred and fifty silver taels a year.

Madam Lee was startled, then looked at him as if she was looking at an idiot: "This is different from the past, don't you have 200 taels of silver with you, you were going to build a house anyway, and buy a house already, it would save you so much time."

Even though it was used to build a house, it didn't say that they would need to spend all of it. Not to mention that not only did he have to spend all his money, but he also had to bet fifty taels of silver.

Lu Jinfeng who was vexed at Madam Lee pursed her lips and said: "Mother, not to mention that I only have two hundred silver, in the future, I will still need to use it. Even if I take out all two hundred silver, it still won't be enough."

Fifty silver taels was not a small sum. If the Liu Clan could save that much money, then they could forget about it.

However, since the Liu Clan refused to compromise, they could not come up with that amount of money.

"How can it not be enough, doesn't Mu Mu Mu still have a hundred taels of silver?" The Madam Lee said, "Take out another fifty silver taels."

So it was like that.

Chen Mu Mu Mu's eyes narrowed as a trace of ridicule flashed past them.

Since when did her money become public property? If someone else wanted to spend it, they wouldn't hesitate to hand it over to her?

"Mother!" Lu Jinfeng's expression became serious, his face had a trace of anger, "This money is something Mu painstakingly earned, it's her money, we cannot use it carelessly."

"We're all family. Isn't her money our money? Why does she divide it so clearly?" Madam Lee was surprised by Lu Jinfeng's reaction, not feeling that his actions were excessive at all.

Xiao Feng, Mu Mu is your wife, and her money is your money. So what if you spend it? The Aunt Wang advised.

What a "family". The so-called "human nature is cold and warm," it is not worth a wealth and glory.

Before it came to money, nothing was a problem, kinship was paramount. When it came to money and things, people would change.

It was obvious that he was taking advantage of the other party, using the name of family love to win, but all of this was taken for granted.

Chen Mu Mu's eyes turned cold as he smiled sarcastically and looked at Lu Jinfeng, but did not say a word.

She wanted to know if Lu Jinfeng also thought the same way — by rationalizing the fact that he had taken advantage of her.

Lu Jinfeng's heart ached. Her eyes made him feel extremely embarrassed, and what Madam Lee had said made him feel even more ashamed. He stayed silent for a while, before he let out a light sigh.

"Mother, other people might not know, but could it be that you still don't understand that we are actually not related to Mu Mu Mu? She is her, not my wife."

"That's my daughter, too." Madam Lee glanced at him, "My daughter is naturally a member of our family."

"She's not!" "No matter if it's my goddaughter or my daughter-in-law, Mu Mu is on her own. She deserves the money she earns, so she has no reason to spend it for us."

"If it weren't for us, she wouldn't have been able to earn that much money. Since we're from the same family, why would she need to be so clear about the difference?" The Madam Lee shook her head, she did not agree with Lu Jinfeng's words, "Money costs money to earn, if you are unwilling to spend even money, and can't even afford to live in a house, then why would you earn it?"

It wasn't that he couldn't afford a house, but that he couldn't afford a house that expensive. These were two different concepts.

Her money didn't come from a strong wind. She wasn't willing to lose, so how could she let others squander it for her?

Chen Mu Mu creased his eyebrows, and was about to say something, but Lu Jinfeng, who was standing in front of her, glared angrily at the Madam Lee.

"Mother, I'll say it again. The money Mu Mu Mu earns is Mu Mu's. No matter how poor we are, we can't have any ideas about how to use her!"

"But …" Madam Lee still wanted to say something, but Lu Jinfeng had already turned around and grabbed Chen Mu's hand, walking outside.

"No buts, just like that. Two hundred and fifty silver was enough for us to eat for three lifetimes. I, Lu Jinfeng, cannot afford such a house, and I don't have the face to take advantage of women!"

His tone was urgent, and his action of pulling Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu away was urgent as well. He simply did not give the Madam Lee any time to react.

Madam Lee opened her mouth slightly, watching the two figures leave, water blossomed in her eyes, her entire being revealed a dejected and sorrowful look.

As if she had been struck hard, her face was stiff and her lips pale. After staring blankly for a long while, she finally muttered: "Xiao Feng, this is … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … a … Do you dislike me? "

He said she was flashy, impractical, delusional about things she shouldn't have.

He said she was vain and took advantage of others in the name of her family.

The way he looked at her had changed, become strange and disappointed. But what had she done wrong? Chen Mu Mu, regardless of her identity, had a close relationship with her family.

Since they were family, the money Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu earned was also their money. If she was going to use it to buy a house, why not? Not to mention the fact that they were still living under someone else's roof and had money to spare, it was normal for them to buy a house.

The Aunt Wang sighed and patted her shoulder: "Big sister, maybe we have really done this before."

"Sister Wang, why do you think so?" Madam Lee looked at Aunt Wang in disbelief, "You and I are both women, other people do not know of my difficulties, but you should understand me."
