He slapped his face hard to stop himself from thinking too much.
He put the handkerchief in the basin to wash it, but he felt his body getting hotter and his heartbeat inexplicably faster.
Su Mu hurriedly washed the towel and wanted to go out for some fresh air. Just as he was about to stand up, a pair of strong and sturdy arms wrapped around his waist from behind.
He was forced to sit back down.
"Mumu, please stay with me."
Lin Mo put his head closer to Su Mu, and spoke in a baby voice, acting coquettishly in Su Mu's ear, asking for something like a child.
Su Mu's body froze, not daring to move, and let Lin Mo hold him.
Lin Mo closed his eyes, leaned his head on Su Mu's shoulder, and rubbed his face against his neck.
Su Mu couldn't help but scream.
"itch!"
Lin Mo pursed his lips into an upward arc with a faint smile.
Then, Su Mu felt an unbearable itch on his neck, and his entire body felt numb. He couldn't help but let out a low, subtle moan.
Lin Mo still had no intention of stopping, but instead became more and more aggressive.
Su Mu tried to pry away his hands that were around her waist, but Lin Mo held her tighter and tighter. Su Mu was exhausted from his gentle persuasion.
I had no choice but to beg for mercy shamefully.
"Lin Mo, I'm going to get some water, don't do this. We haven't gotten married yet, it's not good."
Hmm~
Su Mu groaned softly, and felt a slight sting in his shoulder again, but it wasn't very painful.
Only after Lin Mo succeeded did he let go of her hand and lay back contentedly.
Su Mu saw the slightly reddish tooth mark out of the corner of his eye, and the residual warmth of the lips on his neck.
After teasing Su Mu, Lin Mo fell asleep with his arm as a pillow. On the contrary, Su Mu was still unable to recover from the scene just now.
The room was too quiet, and Su Mu felt that his heartbeat was too loud, as if everyone in the room could hear it clearly.
The more Su Mu thought about it, the hotter his body became. He felt that he could not stay in this room any longer. It made it impossible for him to calm down and instead he had all sorts of random thoughts.
In a hurry, Su Mu picked up the basin and strode out of the wooden door.
The temperature in the corridor is cooler and it doesn't seem so unbearable.
In the hall downstairs, Lao Gu and the others had already packed up. Su Mu then remembered that his second brother seemed to be drunk as well, and he would go up to check on him later.
Su Mu just went to pour some water when someone came to the other end of the door.
Lao Gu stepped forward and said, "Our boss is expecting a baby today, so we're temporarily closed. If you want to eat, please come back tomorrow."
The young man quickly explained, "You misunderstood. I'm here to deliver the contract. Is Young Master Su here?"
When Lao Gu heard him say that he was looking for Young Master Su, he thought for a while and then he suddenly realized.
"The Young Master Su you're talking about is Su Mu?"
The young man smiled and said, "Exactly. Please pass it to him for me. Thank you."
The young man handed the contract document to Lao Gu. At this time, Su Mu happened to pass by and saw Lao Gu talking to someone at the door, so he followed him over.
Seeing Su Mu coming, Lao Gu quickly handed him the contract.
"Brother Mu, I'm looking for you."
Su Mu invited the young man to come in and sit down, gave him some hot tea, and offered him some candied fruit.
The young man explained his purpose: "Mr. Su, our head shopkeeper said that we can split the money 50-50 at most, or we can buy it out directly. If we buy it out, one draft is two taels of silver."
Su Mu couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
Seeing him lower his head, the young man probably guessed that this was not the answer he wanted.
Then he quickly asked tentatively: "Is Master Su dissatisfied?"
Su Mu frowned slightly, and his expression was hard to describe. His originally good-looking face now looked a bit like a bitter melon, the kind that was so bitter that one couldn't express it.
After repeated struggles, Su Mu finally compromised.
He chose a 50-50 split. If it sold well, he would at least get more than two taels of silver, but if it didn't sell well, he might not even get two taels.
But he decided to take a risk and trust his vision and design.
But the shopkeeper is too heartless. He is really greedy and exploits people without any profit.
Su Mu secretly made a decision in his heart that when he saved enough capital, he would open a small shop to sell his own designs!
Su Mu: "Okay."
The two of them signed the contract in duplicate. Two different copies were prepared over there, and the head shopkeeper had already signed and sealed it.
As long as you choose a style here, you can just sign and seal it directly, without having to run back and forth.
The contract states that the payment will be made monthly, and a small account book will be created at that time to record the amount. This way, there is documentation to check and the numbers to compare.
After seeing off this young man, Su Mu finally sighed.
Looking at the contract in his hand, his eyes were sharp, and he was not discouraged. He would earn it back sooner or later!
At night, he went to see Su Yunxia, and seeing that he had been taken care of, he went to rest with peace of mind.
The next morning, the store was full of life again.
There are guests coming and going, it’s very lively.
Su Mu was busy helping with the store's accounting and arranging the checkout, with Su Yunxia also helping out.
After seeing off three waves of guests, I finally had some free time.
Su Yunxia rested beside Su Mu and chatted about some family matters. Somehow, Su Yunxia suddenly talked about her own thoughts.
"Brother, I feel that it's not a good idea to always stay here and rely on Lin Mo for support. I want to go out and find a job."
Su Yunxia's eyes revealed an unspeakable secret. After all, she was just a relative, and it would be inappropriate to always rely on her brother-in-law for support over a long period of time.
When Su Mu returns to the village, people will definitely talk about her, saying that she is using her husband's family's money to support her own family, and that she is ungrateful and cannot be supported.
Su Mu has been bullied by villagers since he was a child. Even his own family members look down on him. They wish they could trample him into the ground so that he can never get up again. Only then would they be satisfied.
Su Yunxia loves her younger brother the most, and she will help him as much as she can, even if it means suffering for herself, rather than let her younger brother suffer.
Whenever Su Yunxia thought of this, he hated himself for being incompetent and unable to help. But now, this was the only thing he could do.
After hearing what his brother said, Su Mu naturally understood.
He was formulating an idea in his mind.
"Brother, I have an idea."
Su Yunxia was listening carefully: "Mumu, you talk, brother is listening."
"Brother, I want to embroider some small items and sell them at the market. Can you help me sell them?
I also want to earn some money on my own so that Lin Mo doesn't have to work so hard, and my second brother doesn't have to worry about being gossiped about if I ask Lin Mo for help.
We can work together and earn some pocket money. It's not easy to find work outside. No one will hire us except for hard labor at the docks. Besides, your health has just recovered, so you are not suitable for hard labor. If you leave a root cause of your illness, it will not heal."
Su Mu expressed his thoughts word by word.
