Manager Zhang also went downstairs to busy himself, and suddenly there were only the two of them left in Noda's box.
He turned around and looked at Su Mu. His face was tense from beginning to end, and it was obvious that he was very nervous.
Touching his dull yellow hair, Lin Mo said softly, "Relax."
In the future, he will have to work hard with Su Mu, and such occasions will always have to be experienced.
"I'm fine, it's just..." Su Mu frowned, his silly look very cute in Lin Mo's eyes. He hesitated for a moment and said, "That house is too big. The master just now also said it would cost over a hundred taels! With so much money, you...you should keep it to buy land. The house only needs to be habitable."
God knows how shocked he was when he heard the price was over a hundred taels. It was not just that they said the blueprints were novel and convenient, but also about heating, digging a pond and laying floor tiles.
He thought it was just a simple four-courtyard house, but he didn't expect that the deposit alone would have cost a hundred taels. How much would it cost to build this house?!
Su Mu blinked his dry eyes. He couldn't even imagine that amount!
He had followed Su Gui around looking for work since he was a child. The most he had ever had on his hands was seven or eight copper coins, and the most he had ever seen was one or two taels. This was the first time he had seen a hundred taels.
"Don't worry, this is all money that should be spent. Think about it, we are going to live together after we get married, so the house must be bigger.
Besides, Awen and his family will definitely get married in the future, and they will have children sooner or later. Children need a room for them to sleep, so there is no harm in building a bigger house.
In addition to the main house, the other side rooms and servants' rooms are also useful. We will need them in the future when we start business. You will know when the time comes."
Seeing what Su Mu was thinking at a glance, Lin Mo smiled warmly, took the cup naturally, stirred the milk tea for him and drank most of it. He wanted to raise Su Mu into a little prince and spoil him to be the happiest person in the world.
The first step is to let him have more contact with money, so that he won’t spend more in the future, which will make the child feel more painful.
"You... are very powerful." Su Mu looked at Lin Mo deeply. He always felt that Lin Mo was omnipotent and seemed to know everything, whether before or now.
No matter when, as long as he needs help, Lin Mo will always appear by his side.
"Am I too good-looking? You are stunned by my looks." Lin Mo gently touched Su Mu's face and said in a ruffian tone.
Su Mu blushed, turned her head stiffly, and said casually: "You...you...well, it's...very pretty, but you can't spend money recklessly."
"Let's go out for a walk and buy some things to take home. This won't count as wasted money. You have to choose carefully what to buy for your brother and the others later."
Lin Mo led Su Mu downstairs and told Manager Zhang the meeting place with the construction team before taking Su Mu shopping. Before leaving, he did not forget to take away a cup of iced milk tea.
Su Mu seldom came to the town. In previous years, he had not gone to the town with the Su family many times. Every time he came, he would finish his work for the day and then walk back home in the dark.
The Su Gui couple were mean-spirited and had been treating him like a slave all these years. There was always endless work for him to do in town, and this was the first time he had wandered around like this.
He glanced at Lin Mo slightly sideways and vowed in his heart that he must work harder to repay Lin Mo.
Thinking of what Lin Mo said to him and the fondness in his eyes, Su Mu's face became more and more rosy, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently raised a beautiful arc.
"What's wrong? Is it too hot? Your little face is abnormally red." Lin Mo looked at Su Mu in confusion, then looked up at the sky. The weather was still very hot at this time. Su Mu's skin color was dark, and it was so red. He was worried that he had heatstroke.
"No...no, I...I haven't been shopping since I was a child. This is my first time, so I'm a little excited." Su Mu explained stutteringly, holding the bamboo tube of milk tea tightly in his hands, looking at a loss.
Lin Mo nodded, "It's okay, if you like, we can come often in the future."
Lin Mo looked at Su Mu's profile with an itchy heart. After thinking and struggling for a long time, he couldn't help but carefully grab his hand and walked forward naturally. Only he knew how fast his heart was beating.
Su Mu trembled all over, his hand instinctively retracted, and his dark deer eyes widened in panic. Even so, his hand was still tightly held in Lin Mo's palm. The warm and delicate touch burned his rough hand like a flame.
"This fabric is pretty good. It should be more comfortable to wear." Lin Mo pulled the stiff and reserved Su Mu into a shop.
Fabrics of various colors were neatly arranged inside, and there were a few beautiful ready-made garments hanging at the door.
At this time, most of the people coming and going in the shop were women and men. When they saw a tall and handsome man holding a dark, thin and skinny boy, they looked at him curiously.
"Brother Sheng can make clothes. I can buy some cloth and make two sets for you." Su Mu said with some shame.
Boys are very humble beings in this world. Not only do they have to be able to do needlework like women, but they also have to be able to go out to work like men.
However, Su Mu didn't know how to do needlework at all. He had been doing manual labor with Su Gui since he was a child, and had been responsible for all the big and small things in the family. Su Yunshi would never teach him such easy work as needlework, because she didn't expect Su Mu to get married at all.
"Okay, then buy some and make two for everyone in the family."
The proprietress was a middle-aged woman with a fair complexion and a plump figure. She stood at the counter, looking at Lin Mo with her eyes shining. She called out in a sharp voice, "Young man, are you here with your husband to buy something? I have everything here, ready-made clothes, fabrics, and even handkerchiefs. Take a look."
Lin Mo's thoughts were interrupted by the boss lady's sudden voice, and he was also pleased by the boss lady's address. He excitedly pulled Su Mu around the shop, his eyes falling on the things the boss lady pointed at.
He had already bought ready-made clothes for everyone in his family, so there was no need to buy more. He didn't know much about arranging fabrics, so he could only focus on Su Mu.
Su Mu took him to the coarse linen cloth area and began to choose seriously.
"No, no, we don't want this coarse cloth and linen clothes." Su Mu's wounds had not healed yet, and the rough cloth would only rub against the wounds, causing them to heal more slowly.
He walked to the fine cotton brocade. The colors of the fabrics in this world were relatively bright, with red, orange, yellow and green all eye-catching. They chose fabrics with monotonous colors in the village.
"Take half a bolt of this silk, and the muslin in these three colors: indigo, azure, and dark brown."
These three colors are very suitable for making clothes for them. The half piece of silk will be used to make underwear. Su Mu's injuries have not yet healed completely, and this fabric is soft and will be more comfortable to wear.
