At night, Lin Mo and Su Yunxia took turns driving the car, and another carriage followed closely behind the three of them.
Su Mu asked curiously, "Lin Mo, why did that carriage follow us all the way?"
Lin Mo playfully pinched the tip of his nose and said mysteriously, "Guess, maybe they're going the same way as us, or maybe that carriage is also ours."
Hearing the latter sentence, Su Mu's ears moved, and a cold light gradually appeared in his eyes with a keen intuition.
Lin Mo took a deep breath and started to imagine in his mind whether he should kneel on the washboard or the golden pillow.
After staring at him for a while, Su Mu finally muttered, "Lin Mo! Are you hiding something from me again? Do you want me to know something too early?"
Lin Mo looked dumbfounded, and finally gave an awkward smile, trying to get away with it by acting coquettishly.
Su Mu suddenly pinched his face, and with her cheeks puffed up, she scolded him, "Did you spend money on me again, secretly, hiding it so that I wouldn't find out so soon?"
Lin Mo used his big hands to gently wrap around Su Mu's small hands that were pinching his face. He rubbed them back and forth on his face, enjoying the touch of the small hands on his face with a gentle look.
“I was afraid you wouldn’t accept it, so I bought it secretly and brought it back.
Some are birthday presents for you, and some, you will find out the day after tomorrow."
His smile was so sweet, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth were filled with joy, which spread all over his face and made him extremely happy.
Su Mu looked at his charming smile and was already moved in her heart.
A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, like ripples on the water, quickly passing across his face. Then, deep in his eyes, it condensed into two sparks, flashing brightly.
He didn't ask any more questions, but was full of anticipation.
It was late at night, and Su Yunxia was waving a whip to hurry on.
Inside the carriage, Su Mu rested on Lin Mo's broad shoulders.
Lin Mo put his arm around him, giving him a comfortable position to lean on, while he himself served as a cushion.
When we returned to the village, it was already midnight.
In every household, the lights were off and no one knew that Lin Mo and the others had returned.
After returning to the house, Lin Mo instructed the two brothers driving the cart to unload the goods carefully and not to wake up the people in the house.
After everything was put away, the two little brothers rushed back without stopping.
It’s not that Lin Mo didn’t want to keep them, but they were bodyguards, responsible for escorting the goods. Once the goods arrived, their mission was completed. Besides, the distance to the town was not far, and they still had the next batch of goods to escort, so they left first.
The three of them returned to the house and cleaned up the place quietly.
I simply boiled some water, took a hot bath, and went to rest.
According to Lin Mo's plan, he should be very busy from tomorrow to the next few days, as he also has to teach them how to grow peppercorns.
This sleep was sound, but Lin Mo woke up very early.
He called Fu Yanzhi and Lin Wu early in the morning and discussed with them the progress of the village's work in the past few days.
Fu Yanzhi held the notebook in his hand and reported to Lin Mo the progress he had recorded in the past few days.
"All the people recruited for farming have been registered. Counting by every household, almost everyone is here, except for the Su family."
When he heard the Su family, Lin Mo's brows tightened slightly, and there was no change in his expression.
Fu Yanzhi said, "I've already explained the method of planting pepper seeds to the villagers. I'll have to watch you demonstrate it in person later. The seeds have also been distributed according to the number of acres of land per household, and some of our fields have been reserved as well."
Fertilizer and irrigation are all ready, the land has been turned over, and we're just waiting to plant."
Lin Mo took the notebook, read it through, and finally said "OK" with certainty.
Lin Wu was standing aside at this time. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something to say to Lin Mo, but for some reason he couldn't open his mouth.
Lin Mo saw through him at a glance and asked calmly, "Awu, what's the matter?"
Lin Wu's expression was difficult to hide, his face wrinkled like a bitter melon, his fists clenched, and he seemed to be hesitating.
Seeing him like this, Fu Yanzhi sighed softly, "It's not convenient for me to listen to your family affairs. I'm going to go see if the villagers have arrived. You guys can chat slowly."
After Fu Yanzhi left, Lin Wu still had an ugly expression on his face.
After repeated questioning, he finally spoke out.
"Third brother, the Su family is causing trouble again. During the two days you were away, they spread rumors everywhere and prevented the villagers from coming to help us farm.
They said we were trying to trick everyone into doing hard labor. Furthermore, they were saying bad things about Mu Ge'er. They were saying very nasty things."
Lin Wu's eyes welled up at this point. He'd endured all kinds of hardships, but to be in this state this time, he must have suffered a lot.
Lin Mo comforted him, "Awu. We are upright and have nothing to fear. If they want to say something, they have the right to speak, and we can't do anything about it. All we can do now is to do our own thing.
Let them make up their own stories, and the rumors will eventually be proven false.
If they do anything to harm my family again, I will not forgive them!"
Lin Mo had been very merciful to them, at least not killing them all. Before the apocalypse, they would never have seen the light of day.
However, Lin Mo also had a plan in mind. It was time to find an opportunity to clean them up.
Otherwise, he and Su Mu would not be able to live peacefully in the future. From time to time, some bad apples would come out to mess things up, and their life would be difficult.
With Lin Mo's comfort, Lin Wu no longer felt so aggrieved. He told Lin Mo in detail about other interesting things that happened at home in the past two days.
"Third brother, let me tell you something."
"Go ahead." Lin Mo listened to him patiently.
"You know, the day after you left, Awen somehow ran off to play in the back mountains. He accidentally twisted his leg, and it was Tang Jie who searched the entire village for him and carried Awen back!"
"What! Awen is injured!"
