The properties of the countryside were usually inexpensive, just like the original Liu family's residence. What kind of a high price was offered? In her hands, the actual price would only be fifty taels of silver.

But it was already the best house in the countryside for a hundred miles.

Such a good house, it was only worth 50 gold. Even if Madam Niu was willing to sell it to be worth less than 500 silver, it was something she could accept.

However, when she made her suggestion, Madam Li shook her head and laughed bitterly: "I went to look for Madam Niu the day before yesterday, she did not agree."

He even loudly scolded her as a jinx. With a broom in hand, he followed Madam Luo and chased her out.

"That's strange." Chen Mu Mu Mu touched his lower jaw, "Madam Niu has always been a money grubber, why is it that she isn't willing to accept money when she has the money to pay us?"

If she obtained some silver from doing business, she would also give Madam Li some living expenses. Adding to the money that Lu Jinfeng had saved up during this period of time, Madam Li would probably have a few dozen taels of silver. She was not dissatisfied with Madam Li privately going to Madam Niu to negotiate, it was just that this Madam Niu's attitude made her curious.

The Madam Li shook her head: "She said that the land has been visited by Feng Shui Sir and it is a good place. The next day, we have to start construction of a new house, no matter how much money I pay, it will not be sold."

Of course, how could the Madam Niu have such a good attitude? He was basically showing off his anger and jealousy while scolding out loud.

However, there were some things that she would suffer if she suffered. There was no need for her to tell the younger generation about them, so they would feel a bit stifled.

Although Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu didn't know about the scene on the day of Madam Li's negotiation, judging from his expression, Madam Niu probably didn't have any leeway left to Madam Li.

She pondered for a moment, then said: "In a while, I'll go find Da Niu and Er Niu, and see if I can use their name to buy land or not. The Madam Niu will not sell any."

Madam Li nodded: "That's the only way."

It was better to do it sooner than later. The longer it dragged on, the greater the disaster would be. After comforting Madam Li, Chen Mu Mu Mu told her to wait at home and went to find someone at Erniu's house.

Lu Jinfeng had saved Da Niu and Er Niu's life before, and the relationship between the two of them and their family was not bad. It was just noon, Da Niu and Er Niu were all at home, when they saw Chen Mu coming, they were all startled and laughed as they brought out a small stool. "Chen Mu, why did you suddenly come to find us?"

"There's something I want to discuss with you." Since there were no outsiders in Erniu's house, Chen Mu Mu directly told them the reason for his visit.

In the past, they had a good relationship with Da Niu and Er Niu. When they heard Chen Mu Mu needed help, Da Niu and Er Niu agreed without any hesitation.

Chen Mu Mu said gratefully, "If this matter is successful, I will definitely prepare a generous gift to repay you."

"What are you saying? We are of the same family as you guys, how can we help you and need to thank you?" Da Niu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry. We will definitely settle this for you."

Due to the conflict between Chen Mu Mu and Madam Niu's family, the best way to buy Madam Niu's land now was to not show his face.

Chen Mu Mu Mu went back to his house to wait for the news, as he had obtained the approval of Da Niu and Er Niu.

Erniu worked very efficiently, but in the time it took for a joss stick to burn, he rushed over to tell her the news.

"Madam Niu did not agree."

Da Niu, who was slapped in the face, was very dejected.

He made such a huge promise before leaving, yet he ended up returning empty-handed. He felt as though he had lost all face.

"Madam Niu said that no matter how much we pay, she would never sell such a treasured Feng Shui land." Erniu added.

After all, he was young, and Erniu's temper was overbearing. He was rejected, and his unhappiness was written all over his face.

"How can there be such a shameless person in this world. Even if we don't want to buy or sell, the house in that piece of land was originally yours. Now that you want to come back, how could she force herself to say that she won't give it to you?" "Pah! It's a land of wind and water. I think she took a fancy to this place back then, so she did everything she could to force us to sever our relationship!"

As Erniu said this, he became even more angry. "It's fine if we break off our relationship, but from then on, her actions are not even slightly related to the so-called break off relationship! "Not only do you want to rob this house, but you also want to burn paper money in front of your door to force you to save your murderers!"

How could the people of Xingyu Village not know the shamelessness of Madam Niu? If they were to bicker with her, they would only be angered to death.

With regards to this result, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu had expected it and didn't feel too sad about it. He only looked at the Madam Li at the side and said indifferently: "This is troublesome."

Maybe the Madam Niu was not willing to sell the land because it was a Feng Shui treasure land, but because she knew the secret of the land.

Madam Li's face was full of disappointment and sadness. He couldn't cover it even if he wanted to.

Er Niu only thought that she was nostalgic, and felt sad that she could not get the premises back, and comforted her: "Aunt Li, it's okay, Madam Niu is a scaredy cat, right now he is unwilling to buy the land, maybe in a few days he will urgently use silver and come find us himself."

Da Niu shook his head. "Probably not, the Madam Niu said that he wanted to build a house, and when we went there, they had already hired people to start the construction."

"The construction has started?" Madam Li was shocked and immediately stood up. He forgot that there was something wrong with his leg and fell to the ground.

Chen Mu Mu Mu immediately went to help her, but Madam Li didn't know how bad his fall was. His face was pale as he stared at Da Niu, as though he was asking for confirmation.

This appearance was pitiful, sad, and filled with a monstrous fear.

Da Niu couldn't bear it and nodded. "Yes, we are digging up the ground and preparing to build a foundation."

"Go stop them!" Madam Li was stunned for a while, then suddenly shouted in fear.

The two oxen looked at each other in dismay and then looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu, at a loss of what to do.

Chen Mu held onto Madam Li's hand and shook his head. He said to Da Niu and Er Niu, "Thank you for your help today. My mother has some feelings for that old house. When Xiao Feng comes back, we will come to thank you again. "

"It's nothing, it's just a small matter. Furthermore, we did not help much." Da Niu said.

Erniu looked at Madam Li, and said hesitantly: "Chen Mu Mu Mu, if you want to stop Madam Niu from building a house, and if you need people, I and brother can help."

You're quite loyal, are you ready to be a demolition team?

Chen Mu Mu laughed and said, "It's not that serious. Although the house and the land were originally ours, they are now the property of the Madam Niu. We don't have the authority to use the Madam Niu at all. However, if I need your help, I will definitely call you guys over. "

"It's a deal."

Seeing that they didn't have much help and still had work to do in the fields, the two oxen went back first.

Seeing that Da Niu and Da Niu had left, Madam Li's entire body became paralyzed. He sat on the chair and muttered anxiously, "What should we do now? "It doesn't matter if the house is being renovated, but if the foundation is being rebuilt then the ground must be tidied up. What if something is being dug that shouldn't be dug up?"

The Madam Li held onto Chen Mu Mu's hand. "We must stop them from starting the construction.

She sat on the chair, holding a teacup as she looked back and forth, and said indifferently: "Mother, this kind of thing is like when the sky is about to rain or when the sky is about to clear, it's not something we can control. You also heard that they are already starting work, even if we head over now, we won't be able to change anything."

He glanced at the Madam Li and mocked, "Moreover, what identity do we have to stop them from starting the construction? The house belongs to the Madam Niu, it has nothing to do with us. Furthermore, we have a terrible relationship with the Madam Niu's family, if we go over to stop them, they might cause a ruckus. Mother, do you know how Lu Daquan and Madam Luo got out of jail? Madam Luo has a huge backer, but we are just a commoner.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and when Madam Luo and Lu Daquan were imprisoned, it was because the messenger, Chen Liang, had personally investigated the case. Li King Qin Tiansei was watching over them from the side, so none of the two gods dared to offend them.

So they could win, but the situation was different now. If they fought with Madam Luo and the rest, they might not be able to win.

What's more, "he said," We did not dig out the ten thousand taels of gold that was buried underground. In any case, we have not known about it for many years, so we will just pretend that we did not know about it in the future. If there is a cause for disaster, then there is always someone to blame. The one who should be looking for is not us, but the family of Madam Niu. "

When Madam Li heard these words, his brows tightly knitted together. "You make a lot of sense, but I still feel uneasy in my heart. That ten thousand taels of gold is a hidden danger. If the owner of that gold firmly believes that it was us who took it, what should we do? "

What else could he do?

The corner of Chen Mu Mu's mouth widened into a smile. "Soldiers come at the right time, but we won't be so easily bullied."

After pausing for a moment, he comforted Madam Li, "Mother, don't worry about it. The land right now is not ours, it's none of our business what they want to do. Furthermore, with so much gold buried underground, regardless of whether we put it aside or take it out, it will still be a problem for us. "

She sighed, "Mother, you know, there is a saying — a man is innocent, having a treasure is a sin. If we do get that house back, we might be in for it. "

It was fine if they lived in the old house in the past, but now, their living conditions were obviously not the same as the old house. Now, they were f * cking running off to steal territory from the Madam Niu.

Madam Li held his head with a headache, and said painfully: "It's all because of my incompetence back then, otherwise, I would not have been able to protect that house and caused so many things today."

"You're not an immortal, how could you know everything?" Chen Mu Mu pinched her shoulder, massaging it for her as he faintly stated, "Maybe, this is life."

Ten thousand taels of gold and that land. Perhaps it was destined to be something they couldn't manage.

On one side, the Madam Li finally quieted down under Chen Mu Mu's persuasion. On the other side, someone suddenly cried out in alarm when Madam Niu invited people to dig out the foundation.

"There's something underneath. It looks like a box!"
