Chapter 161

Unexpectedly, Mo Jiuye took the initiative to bear the rent for the government officials' residence.

This made Peng Wang feel extremely comfortable in his heart.

Peng Wang glanced in the direction of the He family.

They simply don't know how to be human. Look at how smart the Fang and Xie families are, being able to see the situation clearly early on and get along well with the Mo family.

With the help of the Mo family along the way, even though they left the capital without a penny, they did not suffer on the road.

What Peng Wang saw was only the surface.

No matter how He Zhiyuan tried to fawn over them from the start, even if he started to ingratiate himself with the Mo family, Mo Jiuye would not pay any attention to him.

Mo Jiuye followed Peng Wang's line of sight and knew that he was considering how to arrange these people from the He family.

On this matter, Mo Jiuye did not intend to express his opinion.

Anyway, whether the He family lived or died had nothing to do with him.

Peng Wang deliberately looked at the He family in front of Mo Jiuye because he felt that Mo Jiuye was generous. It would be even better if the latter took the initiative to offer to bear the expenses of the He family.

Who knew that Mo Jiuye didn't take the bait at all...

It seems that whether the He family can arrive alive in the northwest depends solely on whether they are fortunate enough.

After reaching a consensus, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran went to ask the Fang and Xie families for their opinions.

The two families happened to have similar plans. After all, the nights were cold, and they didn't know when they would be allowed to leave. As long as the rent was not too high, they could all accept it.

Peng Wang and Mo Jiuye went into town together to find a suitable yard.

They were really lucky. Originally, because of the blockade of the city, some traveling merchants were unable to leave. Some far-sighted people had rented houses early to settle down temporarily.

Therefore, it was not easy to rent houses here, and prices had also risen.

Mo Jiuye had no shortage of silver. What’s more, the larger the yard, the better.

Just happened to have a yard that was too big to be successfully rented out.

After some bargaining with the landlord, the two rented a large yard for fifteen taels of silver per month.

Fifteen taels to rent a yard for a month was indeed not a low price.

However, both Mo Jiuye and Peng Wang were clear in their hearts that during such special times, being able to rent a large yard was already very good.

If she could live a carefree life here for a lifetime, without intrigue, breathing fresh air every day.

When free, she could go for a walk in the mountains, and she could also work on the crops. Most importantly, there was also her beloved man to accompany her. Such a life was truly desirable.

However, He Zhiran's thoughts soon returned to reality.

A life like this could be realized without the space too.

The good life that was hard earned would feel even more fulfilling living it.

He Zhiran instantly had a life goal in mind, which was to build a paradise exactly like the space with her own hands.

With a new goal in life, she felt extremely sweet even when sleeping.

The next morning, He Zhiran got up vigorously and left the space with Mo Jiuye.

Sure enough, after an autumn rain, the weather outside became colder.

Considering everyone's warmth issues, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye went out specially to help everyone buy some cloth and cotton to make warm clothing.

The women knew the importance of keeping warm. Some of them temporarily stopped making dolls and hurriedly made winter clothes for everyone.

In the next few days, there was still no sign of letting people leave the city.

With a better living environment, the women worked even harder making dolls.

Until the fifth day, on the scheduled meeting time with Tang Mingrui, the women made more than one hundred dolls again.

This time, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye did not bring the dolls to meet Tang Mingrui. Instead, they decided to first look at Tang Mingrui’s sales situation.

Arriving at the teahouse as agreed, Tang Mingrui had already booked seats.

Seeing the two arriving, Tang Mingrui immediately stood up to lead them to a private room on the second floor.

As soon as they sat down, Tang Mingrui put a wooden box on the table.

"Big Brother Mo, Sister-in-law Mo, there are three hundred taels of silver in it. I was going to hang some customers’ appetite by selling fewer dolls every day. Unexpectedly, those customers were too enthusiastic. I lost control for a while and sold out all sixty dolls in two days.

I went to find you near the jungle, but you had moved away from there. Helpless, I could only bitterly wait for our appointment today.”

He Zhiran smiled and said, “Isn’t that very good? It happened just as Young Master Tang wished, hanging those customers’ appetite.”

Having his original intention seen through by He Zhiran, Tang Mingrui scratched his head awkwardly.

“Hehe... I really can’t hide this little idea from Sister-in-law Mo.”
