We agreed to farm, why do you go to the palace every day?

When the governor saw them coming together, he remembered that they came back in a carriage today. Could something have happened to them?

Seeing that the head of the village looked like he was facing a great enemy, Luo Yu stopped beating around the bush and said, "Head of the village, Mu Feng and I want to build a new house that truly belongs to us. We came to you to grant us a piece of land and help us find some craftsmen to build the house."

So that's how it is. The head of the village and Aunt Lin were relieved.

"Do you have a favorite spot? Uncle Lin will show you."

You can choose the location you like!

Luo Yu was not polite, "Uncle Lin, I think it's good for me to live over there now, the one in front of the door."

Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin thought she would stay in this side of the village, but they didn't expect that she liked that side.

But that piece of land is really nice. There is a river at the door, which is convenient for cleaning. The terrain is flat and there is a small hill behind it.

It’s just farther away from the village and farther away from the well.

"Since you like it, Uncle Lin has approved it for you. How much would you like?"

Mu Feng slowly said, "Uncle Lin, we want both that piece and the small hill behind it. Can you give us an estimate of the price?"

Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin looked at each other and thought that they were just buying an acre or two of land to build a house, but they didn't expect that they underestimated it.

But how can they afford it?

As if knowing their doubts, Luo Yu smiled and said, "Not long ago, Luo Luo and I went up the mountain to look for medicinal herbs to sell. Luckily, we found what the owner of the medicine shop had been looking for, so we sold it for a good price. Mu Feng has also saved some over the years, enough to build a house."

No wonder the two little girls ran to the mountains every day, they were looking for medicinal herbs.

Aunt Lin was worried, "Since you have already found herbs to make money, you must be more careful in the future. Going to the mountains is very dangerous."

"Okay, I'll listen to my aunt." She was busy building a house and making pickles, so she probably wouldn't be able to go for a while. The Dendrobium had just been picked, and it was unknown when the next time it would be picked would be.

The village head was pleased, but he also said directly: "I can make the decision to sell the village land to you to build houses, but this small hill must be registered with the town government office, so I can't make the decision."

Mu Feng and Luo Yu nodded. The piece of land was about three mu. The current price of buying land in the village was three taels of silver per mu. The villagers could not afford it even if it was more expensive. The head of the village collected ten taels of silver from them.

Mu Feng took out the pork he brought and gave it to them, but Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin kept refusing.

Luo Yu joked, "Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, just accept it. Later, I will have to trouble Uncle Lin to help me hire a craftsman and buy materials. It will take a lot of running around. I also want Aunt Lin to come over and help with cooking. If you refuse like this, Luo Yu will not dare to ask you for help again."

Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin thought so too. Since the two of them were building a house, they would have to look after it. If they didn't show up to deal with the eldest wife of the Luo family alone, the situation would probably not be settled.

But these two kilograms of pork were so valuable that they planned to keep only a part of it, but Luo Yu refused.

Aunt Lin then accepted it and told them to come over if they had anything in the future, but they were not allowed to bring anything with them.

When Uncle Lin goes to the town to register the hill, he will definitely bring some people from the government office to measure it, and we will have to prepare food by then!

Building a new house is not difficult. The two sons of the village head are away all year round, so they are responsible for this job. They have just finished the one in the neighboring village and will be back tomorrow.

The head of the village said that as for the materials for building the house, he would go to the government office in town tomorrow to ask for permission, and then take his son there. He could talk to them directly about any requirements.

Luo Yu and Mu Feng agreed directly that after seeing Luo Yu's sketch of the new house, they would indeed talk about it in person.

The village head remembered that the two of them were going back to the village in a carriage today, so he asked, "Whose carriage did you take back to the village today?"

Luo Yu said bluntly, "It was the carriage of the brother-in-law of Mr. Cai's family in town. They liked the pickles I made, so they signed a contract with me to do some business. The carriage was pulling the pickle jar, and we just happened to be together."

Speaking of pickles, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin recalled the ones Luo Yu gave them. They were indeed sweet and sour and delicious. They didn't expect that they would start a business. The two elders were very happy for them.

The village head said, "It would be good to do some business and earn some money, but I don't think you grow that many vegetables."

Luo Yu replied, "I didn't plant that much. The villagers planted a lot, so I bought it and made it. In previous years, the villagers only kept some for winter consumption, and the farmland was idle. Now we can plant some and harvest before the New Year."

"You have to buy it from the village. We have a lot of land to plant crops. In previous years, we used it to farm the crops over the winter. There was little business in the town. We have sold our pigs this year, and we thought the crops would be wasted in the fields. You can just pick them if you want." The head of the village was very generous.

Luo Yu saw that there were a lot of radishes grown in the village, so he didn't have to worry about the raw materials!

"If Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin are willing, I would dare to sell it to me. If you don't want to pay, then Luo Yu wouldn't dare to take it." Luo Yu said mischievously.

Then he added, "But I don't know if I can sell it right now. I'll pickle some first and let Boss Cai sell it to see if I can make it. If there's enough, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin will have to sell some to me."

Aunt Lin took Luo Yu's hand and said, "Okay, I believe you can do it."

After chatting for a while, it was already dark, so they didn't stay and went home.

Before leaving, the head of the village told Ming'er that he would go to town early in the morning. He would drive the mule cart there and call Mu Feng to go with him at the door.

Mu Feng nodded.

When going out, I held Luo Ci in my arms and held Luo Yu's hand, and only Luo Yu had to hold the fire to light the way.

Luo Yu was not a very conservative person. She just thought it was reasonable for Mu Feng to hold her hand and she didn't feel shy at all.

If it were any other woman, she would have blushed a long time ago just holding hands during an engagement.

But this feeling was still quite novel. Luo Yu had never walked leisurely in the village like this when it was completely dark.

In order to save money on kerosene lamps, the villagers went to bed as soon as it got dark, and now only a few houses had some light coming through.

Luo Yu had no thoughts or ideas, while Mu Feng felt a little annoyed. Why did he end up holding her hand?

Would she be unhappy that I held her hand without her permission?

But seeing that Luo Yu didn't react, Mu Feng felt a little disappointed.

When we arrived at the house on the edge of the village, Luo Ci was already asleep.

Mu Feng carried her into their room, put Luo Ci to bed, and went out to the kitchen to boil water.

After spending these few days together, he observed that Luo Yu would wash up every morning and evening, and she would be unhappy if she didn't.

The firewood in the kitchen was burning very brightly and the water became hot in a short while.

He planned to ask Luo Yu to come out and wash, and he would wash after she finished.

Luo Yu took Luo Ci's special basin, fetched some water and went back to the house to wipe her hands. After eating the candy, his hands were a little sticky.

She came out to pour some water, and Mu Feng was still awake.

Luo Yu asked softly: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Mu Feng looked at her and said slowly: "I waited for you to come out to pour water, because I was afraid you couldn't see and would fall."

"Just pour some water and go to sleep now. You should sleep too!" Luo Yu said gently, feeling sweet in her heart.
