At this time, Su Mu was dressed in brocade and had a rosy complexion. Although his appearance was still as ugly, he had become a little rounder than when he was in the Su family.
If he wasn't a boy, at first glance I would have thought he was a young master from some family.
From the moment Lin Mo took Su Mu into the shop, she had been watching silently in the corner.
His eyes were filled with cruelty and jealousy. The three pieces of cloth cost more than two taels of silver, but Lin Mo paid the money without even blinking.
And the drink in Su Mu's hand was ice milk tea that only the rich people in the town could afford. Just a bamboo tube of it cost half a tael of silver. How could ordinary people afford it!
Su Yunqiu bit her back teeth hard, the jealousy and hatred in her eyes made people's heart palpitate. Her face became more and more distorted, and she looked at Su Mu with eyes that seemed to want to tear him into pieces.
How could Su Mu be worthy of this!
Looking at Lin Mo, Su Yunqiu was even more dazed. The sickly boy back then had grown into a more handsome and tall man, and his body was much stronger and more robust than before.
He was full of vigor and vitality, and his every move was like those of the noble gentlemen in town, which made her unable to help but become obsessed with him.
She bit her lips and clenched her fingers tightly together. If she had not broken off the engagement, she would be the one wearing silk and satin and drinking milk tea now, and she would be the one being cared for and taken care of by Lin Mo!
Su Mu is nothing but a bitch! An ugly and lowly fellow!
Why does he deserve to live better than me?
Lin Mo and the others naturally didn't know about her emotions. Even if they knew, Lin Mo would only sneer at her and sneer at her. He would take revenge on every single thing the Su family did to Su Mu sooner or later!
After buying the cloth, Lin Mo also bought a lot of brown rice and flour in preparation for building the house, although most farmers only eat coarse grains.
But most of the people who came to help were villagers. Although he couldn't eat refined rice and noodles every day, he had no problem eating ordinary brown rice steamed buns.
The two of them bought a lot of things, and because they bought a lot, the shopkeeper generously delivered the goods to their door.
Seeing Su Mu's painful look along the way, Lin Mo felt sad. Su Mu had been used to hardship since he was a child, and it was normal for him to eat brown rice and wild vegetables one meal and go hungry the next.
Seeing him spending so much money, he must be panicking, but he doesn't dare to interfere. Although his slave status has been removed, Su Mu is more grateful. Even if he has feelings, I'm afraid this little guy doesn't understand what it is.
Lin Mo also made up his mind to slowly raise Su Mu into a little boy, and gradually forget everything he experienced in the Su family. He didn't want Su Mu to remember those painful experiences.
But the pain experienced is indelible, not to mention that Su Mu has lived in that environment for nearly twenty years. However, the future is still long, and he will protect Su Mu's future for the rest of his life.
When the two arrived at the town gate, the purchased items were loaded onto the ox cart, and two teams of construction workers were already waiting on the ox cart.
The construction team had its own ox cart, and each team sent three people. Seeing Lin Mo coming, the group followed Lin Mo and slowly headed towards Maolin Village.
**
The sun was setting in the west, a cool breeze was blowing, and the whole earth seemed to be shrouded in an orange-red robe. Three ox carts were driving slowly towards Maolin Village.
After passing the official road, the ox cart slowly drove on the muddy path. The closer it got to the village, the more people there were on the road.
Li Da, Zhong Jiajun and others in the car also started to study Lin Mo's drawings, discussing everything from the transportation of construction materials to the depth of the house's foundation.
During this period, the sunset is setting and the breeze is blowing. It is the time when farmers return home from the fields.
The men who went to the town to find work also returned home in groups of three or five, carrying hoes and winnowing baskets, chatting and laughing.
Maolin Village is surrounded by mountains and cut off by a large river. There is only one way out of the village, so every time at this time, this bumpy road is always particularly busy.
The ox cart was shaking and bumping occasionally. Lin Mo wanted to protect Su Mu, fearing that he would not be able to withstand the bumps and fall down. Before he could reach out his hand, he was protected by Su Mu instead.
Looking at the small hands clasped around his waist, he narrowed his eyes, curled his lips slightly, and leaned towards Su Mu unnoticed.
The moment they touched, he felt the other person suddenly stiffen up. Just by lowering his eyes slightly, he could see the red ear that seemed to be bleeding. Lin Mo almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Smelling the refreshing aroma blowing from the forest, Lin Mo naturally rubbed Su Mu's dry and frizzy hair.
Lin Mo really enjoyed this feeling. This kind of life made him feel more comfortable and satisfied than ever before. The person he loved was right beside him, and the pace of life was much slower.
In his previous life, he was busy working every day, and after the end of the world, he was struggling to survive. He hardly ever had a good night's sleep, because once he fell asleep, he would not know how he died.
He hadn't stopped to rest for a long time. Only now did he realize how beautiful the sunset was and how fragrant the flowers, plants and trees were.
The pedestrians on the road chattered non-stop, looking back at Lin Mo and the others from time to time, and the gossipy women also gossiped about the things in the village.
Most of them were about Lin Mo becoming rich, buying land and building a house. There were also some about Su Mu, saying that Su Mu was lucky and had found a good husband's family.
The matter of Su Mu's slavery also became a topic of conversation that they enjoyed and discussed endlessly.
Some people have already started to think about arranging marriages for Lin Sheng and Lin Wu, but no one is sure how much money Lin Mo actually has, so no matter how much they think about it, they are still just waiting and watching.
Lin Mo always had a faint smile on his face, and the big hand under his sleeve tightly held Su Mu's trembling little hand. He felt that it was not Su Mu who was lucky to find him, but he, Lin Mo, was lucky to meet Su Mu.
As soon as he entered the village, Lin Mo saw from afar several houses built by the family. The additional rooms were all made of blue bricks and tiles.
It's almost finished. Judging from the speed, it will be completed in about three to five days.
"Sanlang is back."
"The house is almost finished, and you can live in it when you come back."
When a few men who were still busy building the house saw Lin Mo, they all started talking to him. Lin Mo responded and began to look around at this temporary residence.
"Amo, come and have a look. These are the lentils you asked me to peel." Lin Sheng saw Lin Mo and excitedly pulled him to see.
There are three large water vats in the yard, all filled with peeled broad beans.
Lin Mo nodded. He hadn't seen Lin Sheng for a few days. He had changed a lot. He was no longer as self-deprecating and timid as before. He was full of energy and exuded a different spirit.
