Shen Jingli personally interviewed the servant who had been in a big family for more than 20 years. She was very experienced and quick. Because the old master of the former master had taken a fancy to her two sons and forced them to be concubines' room, Shen Jingli sold them to the concubine's house when she was not happy.

The old mother lost her husband five years ago, and she had a double son. Shen Jingli bought them both together.

”After that, you will live here.” Shen Jingli led the two men into a house next to their house. It was Mu Chen who asked people to build it a few days ago. Mu Chen didn't like other people living with their family. Shen Jingli felt that it didn't matter, so he left it to him.

Mother Jin and her son, each with a small burden, looked up at the simple earth room in front of them. They didn't know what expression to make. Compared with the house of their former owner's family, the house was so simple and crude that it was just like a refugee house.

Mammy Jin was OK. She had never seen anything hard before she became a servant girl in a big family. But that little Shuanger was different. She had lived for seventeen years and had never seen such a broken house. She never thought that she would live in such a broken house.

Xiao Shuanger's mouth was flat, and she said straightforwardly: ”how can people live in this house when this house is so broken?”

After hearing this, Mammy Jin looked at Shen Jingli's gloomy expression and quickly covered her son's mouth. How could this stupid son talk in front of the new owner's house?

”Ma'am, the child is open-minded. I will teach him a good lesson. Don't take it to heart.” Mother Jin took her son and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

Xiao Shuanger seemed to know that she had said something wrong. She glanced at Shen Jingli secretly. Seeing that Shen Jingli was calm and silent, she was also a little flustered.

”Madam...” He spoke timidly, afraid that Shen Jingli would not want them.

In fact, Shen Jingli was frightened by their sudden kneeling. After a long time in ancient times, only poor people were around him. He had never seen the scene of kneeling on his knees in TV dramas. He was shocked to see someone kneeling on his own.

”Well, you'll live first.” He was tired and too lazy to worry too much. He asked sister-in-law Chen to leave and instruct them, so he went back.

After buying land and servants, Mu Chen began to look for workers to open up wasteland. Now it was the time for transplanting rice seedlings. People from all over the country were busy with farm work, so there were not many people who could help. Mu Chen asked Uncle Wang to help him find dozens of diligent workers.

Wang Dashu works as a carpenter in the town. He knows many people in the surrounding villages. The Mu family pays a lot of money, so someone comes to help. However, there are too many 500 mu of land. Shen Jingli talks in the village. As long as he is free, men, women, old and young over the age of 13 can come to help and pay according to the workload. So some women who stay at home do laundry and cook To help workers, even the children who have just reached the age of 13 are dragged to work. More money and less money is an income. Who can buy more than a few kilograms of pork?

After a month's hard work, Shen Jingli settled down more than 100 mu of land. Shen Jingli settled the salary and asked them to go back. He planned to transplant hundreds of seedlings back. After the seedlings were formed, they would toss over the rest of the land.

Mu Jin followed her to open up wasteland this month. Her hands and feet were worn out. She had time to rest and immediately complained to Shen Jingli, ”sister-in-law, you are abusing me. I'm only 11 years old. You want me to pull grass and hoe the ground. You see my hands are broken.”

Mu Jin is not a charming young man. He has suffered hardships and suffered from hunger, but he has not done hard work. For the first time, he knows how hard it is for his mother to grow vegetables to support them. Where did his mother, who was born as a young lady, do hard work? But she went to grow vegetables and embroider for them to sell in the street. If her grandmother knew that her daughter had fallen to this level, she would make the Mu family shameless.

Thinking of his grandmother, he felt more and more heavy. His stepmother intended to suppress his grandmother's family. His grandmother and uncle were not very well.

Shen Jingli is sitting on the chair looking at the account books. Since this month, they have spent more than half of their money. The original amount was 4200 taels, but now there are more than 1000 Liang left. He was so distressed that he almost beat his chest and feet. He heard Mu Jin's evil complaint and snorted. The account book was slapped on his head, ”little bunny, what's wrong with letting you pull grass and hoe the ground? If you want to eat, you have to work. If you don't have money, land or fame, do you still want me to support you for life? ”

Shen Jingli doesn't mind raising Mu Jin all his life. He has a way to make money. Mu Chen is also an able man. They work hard and quickly. In two or three years, they will surely accumulate a lot of wealth. Even if they can't kill people, they can make Mu Jin live a life without worry. But he doesn't want to raise Mu Jin. He hopes that he can find something he likes to do and not necessarily achieve great things Achievement, oneself happy good.

Mu Jin was wrongly holding her head, ”sister-in-law, how can you beat me with the account book? This account book is so thick, it will make people stupid.”
