Sure enough, after being appraised by the drug store owner, Su Xiaomu happily returned to the inn with ten taels of silver.

Of course, on the way back, I bought a lot of snacks to comfort myself.

Isn’t there a saying that is good?

When you are happy, reward yourself with something good!

She returned to the inn in a good mood, when she was about to open the door and share the snacks in her hand with Gu Jingcheng to eat together.

What she saw when she raised her head was his cold and gloomy expression, his eyes staring at her insidiously, without a trace of emotion or warmth.

"Where have you been?"

Gu Jingcheng had been holding in his anger all day. As soon as they arrived here, Su Xiaomu left him and went out to hang out alone.

But she didn't return home for a day, and she didn't tell him where she was going before going out, so he couldn't help but worry all day long.

And if they were just worried, forget it, but the Lin family girl got the news that they were staying in this inn.

She came here to look for him not long after she left. She kept chirping next to him all day long, making him feel uncomfortable and hindering Lin Hai's face by making sarcastic remarks.

"You just walked around and bought some delicious food? Why do you look so bad? Could it be that you are feeling unwell?"

Su Xiaomu was startled as soon as he entered the door.

When she came to her senses and looked at Gu Jingcheng, "Good guy, this guy's life is not bad, he has red sleeves that add fragrance to his arms, and he doesn't look like he's been bored all day, right?"

Looking at that little girl's watery eyes and her loving expression, her heart almost melted.

If she were a man, with such a pretty girl by his side, it would be really hard to refuse the warm fragrance of nephrite.

"Mr. Gu is not feeling unwell, he is just a little tired from reading in his room today.

Sister-in-law Gu, I wonder if you can help me persuade Mr. Gu to take a rest and go outside for a walk, but I can't persuade him, he is not as easy to talk to as my brother."

Miss Lin seemed unaware of the relationship between Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng, and eagerly turned her head to beg her to help her talk to Gu Jingcheng.

Su Xiaomu had just lamented that it was difficult for such a pretty girl and man to refuse.

But now I feel that her green tea is a bit unpleasant.

Even if you have a good impression of her husband, there is no need to flirt with her in front of her, right?

At least I should bear with it and give her, my first wife, some face.

So she smiled dryly: "Gu Jingcheng is not your brother, so of course he won't listen to you like that.

If Miss Lin really wants to find someone to walk with you, why not go find your brother instead of wasting time arguing with Gu Jingcheng, he doesn't like to go out."

"My wife is right, I don't like to go out."

He didn't know when he left the chair, stepped forward and put his arms around her waist, covering her waist and abdomen with his big hands and rubbing her up and down.

"Perhaps Miss Lin is still young and doesn't understand the affairs of husband and wife.

So I don’t know that my wife and I have a very deep relationship. In this life, except for my wife, I have never looked at other women.”

"Mr. Gu..."

Miss Lin's eyes widened when she heard this, and tears rolled down her eyes, "Mr. Gu..."

"Miss Lin, haven't you understood what my husband-in-law means?

My husband-in-law said that he only likes me. If Miss Lin reaches the age where she hates getting married, the two of us can also find a suitable candidate for you to get married..."

Su Xiaomu was frightened by his action and froze for a moment, but she immediately understood what he meant and followed him.

Of course, the final outcome was that Miss Lin burst into tears after hearing what she said, and glared at her fiercely when she left.

Seeing her leaving, Su Xiaomu immediately removed Gu Jingcheng's hand from her waist.

By the way, he imitated the last look of the girl from the Lin family and stared at Gu Jingcheng fiercely: "What are you doing?"

"You were my wife before you left. In that case, why not use you as a shield? Besides, this is what you should do."

After saying that, he sat back down and continued reading.

The expression on his face did not change, and he still had that cold look.

But only he knows that he can't read a single word in the book now.

His fingertips seemed to still have the warmth from before.

The feeling of his caressing hand still lingers on the palm of my hand.

He had never known that Su Xiaomu's waist was so slender.

And Su Xiaomu was really a little angry at the moment. The relationship between the two of them was yes, but they were called a contract couple?

Forget it, forget it, she doesn't care about him.

As long as she endures the last blow, she will be able to get rid of him soon!

Early the next morning, when it was just dawn, Su Xiaomu got up from the bed and went to inspect her fields.

There is an empty house on the land she bought yesterday.

Although it looked like it had been run down for a long time and no one could live in it, she took a closer look. After taking some time to tidy up the place carefully and hiring someone to repair it, it was no different from a house that ordinary people live in.

After making sure that she would have a place to live and save money, Su Xiaomu went to Uncle Liang, whom Ren Yazi had brought her to meet yesterday, and asked him to find some people to work for her.

"For fifteen coppers a day, all you have to do is help me dig up all the grass growing in the ground and put it in this basket. If the basket is full, I can give you five more coppers. There is no limit to the number of baskets."

"If you think the price is acceptable, you can start working now. My request is not too much, but you must be careful when pulling out these grasses and do not hurt their roots."

Su Xiaomu really felt sorry for these herbs. After all, these were just free money.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Su, we can all use our strength to ensure that we won't hurt the roots of these weeds.

But what are you doing with Mrs. Su? You can’t eat it or use it..."

Uncle Liang asked the villagers under him to work. He walked curiously to Su Xiaomu and said to her: "We have picked this before, but they didn't eat it to feed the livestock at home."

"I'm just bored and thinking about playing with them. It's of no use. Uncle Liang, please help me pick grass with the villagers. I have some other things to be busy doing here."

She had no intention of telling the residents that the fields grew medicinal herbs that could be sold for money.

After all, she is still waiting for the money to be repaid. If she wants everyone to make money together, she has to wait for her, the first person to eat the crab, to make money first.

So Su Xiaomu leisurely walked along the field ridge with his hands behind his back, asking Uncle Liang to mutter behind him for a while: "This rich man is just different. He always likes to do these weird things. He is really stupid and has too much money."
