When the two of them returned to Aunt Wang's home, Madam Lee came over to tell her some bad news.

"Today, Young Lady Feng and the servant came to look for you. Since you weren't here, she told me to inform you that you don't need to make any clothes on her."

Chen Mu was stunned. "Didn't you say everything was fine? Why did you say that if you don't want to do something, you don't have to do it?" To think that she risked her life to save Feng Ling'er, this girl was too unkind. She said that she wouldn't give her money.

The rich didn't know the hardships of the poor. Without capital, what would she do with her business?

Madam Lee seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and said hurriedly: "Don't misunderstand, Young Lady Feng didn't suddenly stop you from doing business, she is returning to the capital."

Feng Lingxi's background was outstanding. The bandits from the White Cloud Mountain had already been annihilated, so she should be returning to the capital with her father to report this.

Chen Mu lowered his gaze. "Is she really that anxious to leave? She doesn't even want her clothes anymore."

From the conversation between Feng Lingxi and her, it could be seen that Feng Lingxi valued these clothes a lot. However, even though she valued them a lot, she couldn't wait for those few days.

"The Young Lady Feng said that it was impossible to disobey the emperor's orders. They will be leaving for the capital tomorrow. I can't wait for you to come back." Madam Lee sighed, and handed over a money bag to her, "This is the money Young Lady Feng gave you. Although she didn't make the clothes, she missed the appointment and delayed your time, so you have to accept this money deposit."

Naturally, she had to take it. In order to do Feng Lingxi's business, she had almost put her life on the line and even spent a lot of effort. If she couldn't get even a little bit of money, then wouldn't she die from losses?

Chen Mu Mu Mu's expression didn't change as she accepted the money bag. When she opened it to take a look, she felt a little drowsy.

There was actually fifty taels of silver.

This Feng Lingxi was quite generous; she could even afford to buy and sell things that couldn't be done.

Of course, seeing how generous she was, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu decided to let go of Feng Ling Xian's promise.

"If she's gone, then so be it. This business isn't going to work, so it's just a good opportunity for us to do something else."

It was just a customer, it was only natural for them to be separated. Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu didn't feel sad, she just received the silver and became lively again.

Originally, she had been busy for several days thinking about Feng Lingxi, but unexpectedly, she went straight back to the capital, saving her a lot of time.

After resting for one night, the next day's day arrived as scheduled.

"I won't go out today. Let's find a place to settle down." Chen Mu said to Lu Jinfeng.

"Find a place to build a house?" Lu Jinfeng asked.

"No, just find a ready-made house and buy it directly." Chen Mu said, seeing Lu Jinfeng's strange expression, he snorted, "What are you thinking, I did not say that I am not allowed to buy ready-made houses, I just do not like things that exceed my consumption power."

"Something that surpasses my ability to consume?" Lu Jinfeng was confused, "What does that mean?"

He had forgotten that he was an ancient person. It was natural for him to not understand the modern language.

Chen Mu Mu pursed his lips into a smile. "It means that even though I have ten taels of silver, I want to buy something worth twenty taels of silver. Even if I have to borrow it, I want to buy something as well."

"So that's how it is." Lu Jinfeng nodded his head, he did not want to pursue this topic any further and asked, "Then, where do you plan to buy a house?"

"Let's go to the Village Chief and take a look. He has more information than us." Xingyu Village was a small village. The soil was not fertile, and the economy was not good. Any families with some ability would have gone to the village to develop. Some of them would have developed better, so they might as well live in the town and never come back.

These people's houses were their targets.

Lu Jinfeng muttered to himself, "Chen Mu Mu, I roughly calculated, actually building a house is much less than the amount of silver required to buy a house."

"But we don't have that much time." In the eyes of business people, every minute and every second was a profit. Wasting time was a waste of life. It would take her a month or two to build a house, but the amount of work she could do in that month or two was many times more than what she could save.

The most important thing was, "Lu Jinfeng, your aunt and cousin are coming over, we don't have a choice right?"

"That's right." Lu Jinfeng replied in a slightly depressed manner, "As a man, I truly am incapable."

He did not know why he would have such thoughts, but as the pillar of the family, Lu Jinfeng could not resist, even if he did not succeed in writing, he would not be able to bring income to the family, and he might even drag them down, he was truly incapable of doing so.

Of course, even though Chen Mu Mu acknowledged that she had a good heart, she still wasn't willing to offend him on this point.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he changed the topic, "From mother's reaction, I can tell that your aunt is very close to your family, but it seems that I've never heard of her existence before." "Why did you suddenly appear here?"

"She was originally born from the same mother as my father, and since the Madam Liu is harsh and harsh on the heart and the family is poor, she decided to throw it away and let my mother perish. After growing up, you probably know that because of your hatred towards the Madam Liu, you rarely interact with her family. " Lu Jinfeng deeply hated the Madam Liu and the others, after breaking off their relationship, he did not bother to call them by their surnames, and directly called them by their surnames. When he mentioned them, his tone was extremely cold and indifferent, as though he was referring to an unrelated person.

"Later on, my aunt got married, so you rarely went back to your parents' home. That's why you haven't seen her before." Lu Jinfeng paused here, a strange look flashing past his eyes, "When my father was still young, my aunt and my family were considered close, especially with my mother, we talked about everything. After my father died, the two families broke off their relationship. "

Humans were always the most warm, and could often be most clearly felt in times of greatest loss. To him, Lu Yulian's actions were no different from those villagers in the countryside who looked down on him and the Madam Lee. Even though they were close as children, after all, so many years had passed, and their appearance had faded.

"Although your words sound very unpleasant, I still feel that your aunt's mind is impure. Your father is still close to you. After your father left, the widows and widows no longer cared about you." If you are truly close to them, then how could you just ignore them for a few years? Even if there are a lot of difficulties, it would still be possible to just meet them a few times. " Recalling the two's difficult situation when he first met Madam Lee and Lu Jinfeng, Chen Mu Mu laughed, "I'm afraid that my purpose for coming to visit this time is not that simple."

Lu Jinfeng did not refute, his expression was gloomy, but he tacitly agreed with her words.

Looking at his expression, Chen Mu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. It was said that the spectators could see clearly, she and Lu Jinfeng could clearly see Lu Yulian's character, and was afraid that Madam Lee was still deceiving himself. However, the Madam Lee had always been bitter in her heart. Now that there was someone who could comfort each other, she and Lu Jinfeng could not be bothered to investigate further.

However...

Lu Jinfeng, do you have any doubts? Your house has been destroyed by the Madam Liu, and we are still living in it for the time being. We are so poor that we sounded like clink clink clink clink clink clink clank.

"I don't know." Lu Jinfeng spread out his hands: "You see, I don't have any money, so it's difficult for me to be warm and full. I don't even have a place to stay, if you really want to look for something, it's just a living person."

A living person?

Chen Mu Mu's heart moved and his eyes swept across Lu Jinfeng's body.

Lu Jinfeng was frightened by her stare, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I want to know how much you are worth. If you're talking about selling it for one jin, how much can you sell it for?" Chen Mu Mu teased.

Lu Jinfeng: "..."

Even though it was impossible to talk about selling people, he did have the intention to beat someone up. Thus, Chen Mu's gaze at Lu Jinfeng became even more mischievous.

"Chen Mu Mu." Lu Jinfeng could not hold back and scolded softly: "How can a woman stare at a man like that."

"I'm staring, what can you do to me?" Chen Mu chuckled, his actions becoming bolder and his gaze burning with passion.

Lu Jinfeng was rendered speechless by her actions, so he could only quicken his pace and walk in front of her, simply turning a blind eye.

"Still so shy." When he thought of his younger cousin, whom he had not met before, his eyes flashed with interest.

Maybe the reason this aunty came to Xingyu Village was really to look for people.

As the abandoned son of the Apricot Rain Village's Lu Family, Lu Jinfeng was indeed a poor, poverty-stricken kid, but if he had changed his identity, then what about someone that even the mysterious Forest Demoness had to worry about?

Life is not peaceful, life is more exciting.

Thanks to the wild boar meat that Lu Jinfeng got the day before yesterday, the village chief's opinion of changed, and he enthusiastically helped them find a ready house.

Old Sun from the east side of the village has two houses. His eldest son's family has moved out of the village and the house just so happens to be empty. The village chief said.

"Is this the only house?" If he didn't have a choice, he would usually raise the price to kill others. Thus, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu wasn't happy about it at all.

There's another one. The younger brother of the Western Wu Lao San died in the flood the year before, and the house just so happens to be empty. The Village Chief smiled and said, "Because it's a house of the dead, it sounds quite unlucky. If you want it, you can only buy it for five silver taels."

Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng looked at each other but did not say a word.

"Don't be picky, all the villagers are born and bred, they can only stay in Xingyu Village for the rest of their lives. Whose family has nothing to do with building two more houses, even if they built one, who would be willing to give out the good ones?" The village chief shook his head, "If you can take out some silver, why do you need to buy those broken houses? It would be better to build your own."

It would be nice to build their own house when they had time, but they didn't have time.

The corner of Chen Mu Mu's mouth twitched as he muttered to himself, "If the village chief is free, can you bring us to take a look?"

"I'm not free." The village chief shook his head, "In a while, I will have to ask the Forest Demoness, so I have no time to care about you guys. Xiao Feng grew up in the village, could it be that you guys don't know the way?"

Speaking of which, there was no hope for the Village Head to lead the way.

The two of them had no choice but to bid farewell to the Village Head.
