"There's no budget, so let's just go for it. It's only two or three acres anyway."
"But you have to give me a price."
Mu Chen thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "Three hundred thousand is not too little, five hundred thousand is not too much."
"Brother, where did our family get so much money?" Duoduo finally spoke up.
“Silly sister, our family doesn’t lack money to build a house right now, but we can’t waste it.”
"oh..."
Not short of money?
Arong and his men from Quedong Village were shocked once again!
However, during their time together, they did discover that Mu Chen was indeed not short of money, though they didn't know how much.
“Ah Chen, it’s no exaggeration to say that you are the richest man in our Miao village, but we are just wondering, who is the girl you like, and why is she not good enough for you?”
"Uncle, this has nothing to do with money."
"How can it be alright?"
"That girl is priceless to me; to measure her with money would be disrespectful."
Upon hearing this, Chief Tang pondered for a moment and then said, "You're being so secretive; it makes me uncomfortable! Ah Chen, I have something to tell you and I'm leaving now."

The Drumming Festival is a Miao custom.
Besides traditional sacrificial rites, another activity on this festival is matchmaking.
"She is the holy maiden of my Miao people, so naturally she should lead the ancestral worship ceremony!" Mu Chen thought it was normal, but what Chief Tang said next made him uneasy.
“Besides ancestor worship, Amo will participate in blind dates.”
"Ah---this---"
Although Mu Chen tried his best to control his emotions, his voice was visibly trembling.
In previous years, during the Miao people's Drumming Festival, Tang Mo would be invited out by all the village chiefs and elders to lead all the Miao people in worshiping their ancestors as a holy maiden.
But it was just for ancestor worship; she didn't participate in the thousand-person matchmaking program at the Drumming Festival.
“Grandpa Tang, the Holy Maiden is only a sophomore this year. This will delay her studies.”
Chief Tang waved his hand, "Amo is twenty years old this year, she should have been on blind dates long ago. Besides, blind dates don't mean immediate marriage, it's just to settle her marriage first."
Now, Mu Chen panicked.
