Chen Mu was slightly taken aback before he smiled and said, "Aunt is truly cautious. You have to keep the land deed for the house on your person when you're away. We can't help but sigh in admiration."
"Stop being so sarcastic. I've already given you the land deed for the house. Watch carefully. If anything goes wrong, I won't be responsible." Lu Yulian regained his freedom, as a proud look appeared on his face once more.
"I know." She had seen too many real estate contracts in the past. How could such a small deed of land fall to her?
Very soon, the contract was written, and with the cooperation of the village head, the group went to the county and sealed the seal of the government.
"From now on, five stores and ten acres of fertile land are all yours." Exiting the official residence, Lu Yulian said unwillingly.
She and Lin Qiu'er had indeed stolen three hundred taels of silver from Chen Mu. However, that three hundred taels of silver was almost enough for Chen Mu to take back, so they had no use for it.
The silver taels that were used as collateral were given to Chen Mu Mu Mu for free.
Just thinking about it made his heart clench, so he said, "Lady Chen, you're quite good at scheming. I hope that you won't meet someone more scheming than you are in the future."
"Of course. I'm very happy to be able to meet a worthy opponent." Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't take her words to heart and instead replied happily.
Lu Yulian was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
"Alright, the matter has been resolved. You should head back as soon as possible." The Village Chief said coldly, "Lu Yulian, people like you are still not welcome in our Xingyu Village. When your daughter wakes up, quickly leave my village."
As the Village Chief spoke, he climbed into the carriage and ignored everyone else.
Lu Yulian's face was filled with embarrassment and humiliation. Under everyone's scornful and contemptuous gazes, he slowly found a corner to sit at.
Lu Jinfeng raised his horsewhip and drove back to Xing Yu village.
Lu Yulian's heart was on fire, and his thoughts kept on turning along the way as he swept his gaze across the crowd from time to time. In the end, his gaze landed on Chen Mu Mu Mu as his eyelashes drooped, covering the ruthlessness and cruelty that flashed past his eyes.
No one had ever teased her like this before. Since she was given such an awkward situation, she would naturally return it in the future.
Chen Mu, Xingyu Village.
A nest of bitches, a nest of tigers and wolves, just wait and see who laughs the last.
Although Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu was happy that he had succeeded, he did not let Lu Yulian see the complexity in his eyes, and his lips curled up slightly.
Who wouldn't know how to spout such harsh words? In her modern era, how many people had wanted to kill her and she, Chen Mu, had never seen anyone succeed in doing so?
Lu Yulian, if you are truly that powerful, come at me.
After arriving at the Apricot Rain Village, the matter was settled and everyone went back to work. Chen Mu Mu said he was grateful to his fellow villagers for finding her silver taels and specially prepared several tables of good food, inviting them to come over for a meal. With such a good chance to get food, there was no reason for the villagers of Xingyu Village to not come.
As such, during the banquet, there were many who belittled Lu Yulian and her daughter, and praised Chen Mu Mu Mu, Lu Jinfeng and Madam Li.
Afterwards, Lu Yulian and Lin Qiu'er, who were hiding in their own rooms, felt even more nervous.
"Mother, are we really going to tolerate this?" Lin Qiu'er grabbed onto a corner of her body, her face turning purple and blue in anger. "That bunch of ignorant villagers, they're simply going too far!"
"Endure what ordinary people cannot endure, and you will obtain what ordinary people cannot." Lu Yulian smiled mysteriously, "Qiu'er, don't worry, that slut won't be able to laugh for long."
"Really?" Lin Qiu'er's eyes lit up.
"Naturally, if people are too proud, they will always be happy to the point of sadness." Lu Yulian's eyes flickered, and he chuckled. He looked at his daughter, and raised an eyebrow, "Qiu'er, tell me, do you like that brat Lu Jinfeng? Do you want to marry him? "
Lin Qiu'er was startled, thinking of how Lu Jinfeng was such a monster that could enchant millions of girls, her face immediately flushed red. After pinching for a while, she looked at Lu Yulian and said: "Mother, didn't you see what I am thinking?"
Lu Yulian nodded, she wanted to say something, but she heard a sigh from Lin Qiu'er, her face full of dejection.
"What's the use of liking him? Our conflict with the Lu family has turned into this. No matter what, it is impossible for him to be between me and the Lu family in this life."
"People grow up. Before reaching the final stage, you can't say for sure that it's impossible." Lu Yulian looked at his own daughter meaningfully, "I believe that you and Lu Jinfeng, that brat, will definitely be able to have a relationship."
Lin Qiu'er wasn't stupid and was shocked upon hearing this. "Mom, you can't act so rashly."
"If you don't take the risk and leave the Apricot Rain Village, we will point out everything. After your good name is tainted, how can we find you a good wife in the future?" Lu Yulian said in disappointment, "Moreover, you don't want to marry the man you like, and you don't want to see the sad and sorrowful expression on Chen Mu's face?"
"I want to!" Lin Qiu'er heavily nodded, and her fighting spirit was aroused. "Mom, I'll do whatever you want me to do, I believe in you!"
Men would always drink a few cups of wine when eating together with their countrymen, but it just happened that Lu Jinfeng's tolerance for alcohol was not that good.
After a few drinks, his cheeks reddened and his eyes became drowsy.
Seeing that Lu Jinfeng was drunk, Da Niu and Er Niu volunteered themselves forward to stop the drinking, while Chen Mu Mu took the opportunity to drag him away.
"I can't drink. Why do I have to drink so much? It's too heavy." Chen Mu Mu grumbled as he supported her into Lu Jinfeng's courtyard.
"You're happy today, son." Lu Jinfeng looked at her drunkenly, stars seemed to be shaking in his eyes, "If you're happy, then I'm happy."
"What kind of nonsense is this?" Chen Mu Mu was somewhat amused. "You can't be like this again in the future."
"Alright." Lu Jinfeng replied, and leaned on her shoulder, stepping down to shift the force, which eased her pressure.
Chen Mu Mu knew his good intentions, and he was both furious and amused. He was already so drunk, yet he still acted so hypocritically. Indeed, he was just a child.
She pursed her lips and smiled, but when she thought of what had happened during the day, she suddenly felt a little annoyed in her heart.
Chen Mu Mu Mu did not speak, and Lu Jinfeng the drunkard did not speak either. He stared at her with a drunk face for a while, and said: "Mu Mu, you seem to have something on your mind?"
There was naturally something on his mind, but what was the use of talking to a drunkard? In any case, his mind wasn't clear.
However … It was precisely because he was delirious that he relied on his instincts to speak his mind.
As Chen Mu Mu thought this way, his eyes moved. He looked at the man on his shoulder and asked: "Lu Jinfeng, tell me, I taught your aunt and cousin a lesson today, do you guys blame me?"
They were angry that she dug holes and broke their family members, that she was selfish, that she had taken all the small advantages for herself, and that she didn't give a single shred to anyone else?
Lu Jinfeng laughed softly, his eyes looked as though they were filled with alcohol, attracting her to sink deeper into his body. He turned his head and looked at her, laughing as before.
"You are my family, and there are outsiders bullying you. Why should I help outsiders?"
His family? What a beautiful word.
Chen Mu Mu felt that the mockery in his eyes had unknowingly surged forward, "Lu Jinfeng, I feel that what the village chief said today is reasonable."
Lu Jinfeng turned his head to look at her. A pair of beautiful eyes shone so bright that they could be seen clearly.
"Actually, I have always held back towards you all."
"Lu Jinfeng, you know, I have always been selfish. I always felt that I could achieve what I wanted to, and if I couldn't care less, I would not care about anyone, and even if I was scolded for being heartless, I would still do what I wanted to do."
Humans were selfish after all, especially in her world. Other than herself, no one else could be trusted.
When he was at his loneliest, he could only endure loneliness by himself. When he was at his most lonely and helpless, he could only enjoy helplessness by himself.
No one helped, no one accompanied him. From start to finish, he was on his own.
If he could survive it, he would become a strong woman in the eyes of the crowd. He would become the most dazzling star in the eyes of the crowd. If they couldn't endure it, they would enter the endless abyss.
She … In the end, he was still used to being alone.
One man carrying, one man walking, one man eating and drinking.
A person has been too long, has forgotten how others' feelings are written, has forgotten how to take care of others, only remembers oneself can be warm.
Therefore, she was very selfish. If she wasn't selfish, if she didn't store her strength, who would help her when she was in trouble? Who would save her?
In this world of only one person, he could only be more careful.
Even though he was alone, even if he was being looked down upon, even if he was being ridiculed, he could still live.
"Mu Mu." Lu Jinfeng suddenly raised his hand, touched the corners of her eyes, and then said indifferently and steadily: "You have me, and Mother, we have always been here."
"Ugh …"
Chen Mu Mu was stunned.
Did she cry? Had she panicked?
His words were so warm that she almost believed them.
They were there all the time.
Yeah, they were there all the time, but she... He didn't dare believe it.
Chen Mu's gaze was complicated, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Lu Jinfeng did not disturb her, as he leaned quietly on her shoulder and silently wiped away the tears on her face. After a long while, he said softly, "Chen Mu Mu, this is pretty good."
This kind of you, especially real, is not so illusory, nor so far away from reach.
"What?" Chen Mu Mu Mu couldn't understand his words, and upon hearing his words, she inclined her head to look at him, only to smile foolishly at his drunken head.
Really … Not very long.
She actually took the words of the drunkard seriously, and was almost tempted.
Chen Mu Mu Mu shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. He carefully supported the other party into his courtyard, laid him on the bed and tucked him in.
Just as she was about to pull up the curtain and leave, a large hand climbed up slyly and gripped her wrist tightly.
"Don't go." He squinted his eyes and said while his mind was still in a daze.
"Lu Jinfeng." Chen Mu shot a glance at the big hand on his wrist and slowly pried open his fingers. "I know you aren't completely drunk. If you still don't let go, I'll break your fingers."
Threats were obviously of no use to drunkards. He grinned at her, revealing a slit of eyes filled with scoundrels.
"I won't let you go."
The fingers, which had been pried open, gathered together again and gripped tightly on her wrist.
This was as sticky as an octopus.
Chen Mu Mu broke it open once more, and after a long moment, it was still the same as before. Helplessly, she stroked her forehead.
"Fine, I'm not leaving. Let go of me, I'll go get you a bowl of hangover."
