The cramped space, mixed with Su Mu's sobbing, made the whole atmosphere even more depressing.
Lin Mo took out a hand, pushed open the simple wooden window, and hugged the person in his arms tighter.
"Don't cry, don't cry, little Mutou. I bought you some snacks and even learned cooking outside. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll make you something delicious. I guarantee you won't be able to stop eating."
Lin Mo coaxed Su Mu like a child. Su Mu still had wounds on his body. If he continued crying like this, he would hurt himself.
Su Mu fell silent, but tears were still falling.
"Yeah." Su Mu nodded in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
Looking at Lin Mo in front of him, his watery eyes stared straight at the other person, feeling a little unreal. He boldly touched Lin Mo's face, and it was a warm touch.
It’s true!
This person really came back and was still so nice to me.
"Silly Wood, the doctor said you caught a cold last night and you still have injuries on your body..." When Lin Mo said this, his face didn't look good and he was full of fear.
The nearly 1.9-meter-tall man's face was filled with fear. He stretched out his hand to cover the bruised and swollen back of Su Mu's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Little Wood, please don't be stupid in the future, okay? I'm so scared. I heard Xiao Wu say that you jumped into the river at the entrance of the village. If he hadn't happened to pass by, I might never see you again... If you left... what should I do..."
Seeing Lin Mo like this, Su Mu's heart softened, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I...I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"You little fool."
Lin Mo rubbed his dirty and messy hair, feeling only distressed. Although he wanted to tell him not to commit suicide so easily, what choice could he make in that situation?
After all, if I hadn't forced myself into his life, maybe this stupid guy would have just married into the Wang family obediently and wouldn't have suffered all this pain.
"Take a rest first, I'll make you something to eat."
Lin Mo covered him with a blanket and urged him to close his eyes and go to sleep. Su Mu hadn't had much rest in the past few days and his injuries were quite serious, so he soon fell into a drowsy sleep.
Lin Mo's big hands gently stroked Su Mu's belly, which was already sunken. He had looked at Su Mu's body when he applied the medicine.
He was so thin that only a thin layer of flesh remained, a layer of flesh that had been tortured to the point of being completely tattered. His entire cheeks were deformed, and his stomach was sunken into an exaggerated depression, as if his internal organs had disappeared. If it weren't for this layer of skin, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a skeleton.
Su family...sooner or later I will make you pay the price!
Now that you've taken my, Lin Mo's, money, it depends on whether you have the ability to keep it!
Lin Mo looked at Su Mu deeply, pulled his hand out carefully, and did not forget to close the door before going out.
At this time, Lin Sheng and the other two, who had paid back the money, also returned.
The three of them had smiles on their faces, some of them still blushing with excitement.
When they went out this time, the villagers were much more enthusiastic. Those who didn't interact with them on weekdays would exchange a few words, and after returning the money, others would give them some food in return, but the topic of conversation always revolved around Lin Mo.
In just a few hours, the news that Lin Mo had made a fortune in business spread throughout Maolin Village.
"Amo, Amo."
As soon as Lin Wen saw Lin Mo, he immediately rushed over, holding a small bag of snacks in his hand and eating them in small bites. He had never eaten such delicious snacks before, and had never been as happy as today.
Lin Mo looked up at him and said lovingly, "Awen, eat less. I'll make something delicious soon and you won't be able to eat it."
Lin Mo likes this brother very much, although he feels that he is more like a brother. Lin Wen has a simple mind, is very well-behaved, and has a persistent dependence on Lin Mo. In addition, Lin Sheng has instilled the idea of taking care of Lin Mo since he was a child, so he has always centered on Lin Mo.
Lin Mo tried to trick him into calling him brother several times, but the little guy rejected him seriously.
"Then I won't eat. Ah Mo, did you eat and sleep well when you went out? Did you feel any pain? Were you good?"
Lin Wen asked habitually. These were the questions he used to ask every day when Lin Mo was lying in bed.
Lin Mo's heart warmed, and he patted his head: "Don't worry, you see I've grown a lot taller, and my illness has long been cured. Go and try on the new clothes I bought for you, and then wait for me to cook, and you can eat soon."
He bought two sets of ready-made clothes for each person in his family, as well as some cloth and bedding. The ox cart was only that big, so he sold mainly food and daily necessities. He would buy other things later.
"Third brother, how much money did you save after going out? Don't spend it all at once. Look at these beddings and clothes, they are all made of fine cotton. How much do they cost?" Lin Wu looked at those things with heartache, and his painful look made Lin Mo laugh.
Lin Sheng also frowned and said, "Why buy these ready-made clothes? I can make clothes myself. With these cloths, we can save a lot of money by making them ourselves..."
"Brother, Xiao Wu, I know everything in my heart. I just wanted to bring you something. I'll go cook first and tell you in detail later."
"Okay, then I'll go pack those things." Although Lin Sheng looked painful, he was also happy in his heart. This was the first time he had new clothes since his parents passed away.
"Okay, be careful, Mu Mu is in your room and has fallen asleep." Lin Mo's face turned strangely red when he said this.
Lin Sheng smiled upon hearing this and patted his shoulder gently, "I saved that."
At this time, the sky gradually darkened. Lin Mo lit an oil lamp and sorted out the things he bought one by one.
Now he is very skilled at burning firewood, but he still can't stand the smoke.
Lin Mo washed the rice and put it in the pot to cook. He asked Lin Wu to help him take care of the stove, while he went to wash the ribs he had bought specially.
It's a pity that there is no better kitchen knife at home. After thinking about it, Lin Mo cut the ribs into strips and stewed them directly in the pot. There are too few seasonings in this world. Lin Mo searched many places in the capital city to collect some commonly used seasonings. He poured in the cinnamon, chicken bone grass and other seasonings one by one and then covered the pot with a wooden lid.
Taking the pork, he skillfully cut out the fat and squeezed out the oil, washed the vegetables, cut the meat into slices, and cut the green peppers. After the rice was cooked, he fried the lard in the pan and then stir-fried a large plate of shredded pork and green peppers and a large plate of stir-fried vegetables.
Lin Wu, who had been guarding the fire, couldn't help drooling. He stared eagerly at the two dishes that Lin Mo had plated. He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Third brother, what did you cook? It smells so good."
The kitchen was filled with fragrance, and even Lin Mo couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He had been busy all day and hadn't eaten much, so he was hungry now.
