C38 Shallow Wealth

"Then why don't you lower the price? Buy the surrounding hills as well? " Shen Jingli suddenly became angry, if he bought all the hills around them, in a few years, they would be able to earn everything.

"We can buy land, but it's not that simple to buy a mountain." Mu Chen hugged Shen Jingli tightly with a smile, just in case he was too excited, and bumped into him when he was jumping around, "The things in the mountain are all shared by the villagers, everyone wants to go up the mountain to gather wild herbs, firewood, and hunt, how can they let us buy them easily?"

Buying a mountain required a lot of examination and approval, and it was much more expensive than buying one. In this situation, if someone went to the county magistrate to buy land, someone would immediately come looking for him with chicken feathers as tokens.

"If you don't have the money, then just say it. It's your bunch of principles." Shen Jingli rubbed his hands on Mu Chen's waist as he was secretly pleased. After being nourished so much that he could eat and drink, Mu Chen had also grown some meat, adding that he could practice his martial arts unscrupulously, his figure was getting better and better, his body was extremely thin and powerful, causing Shen Jingli to be unable to let go.

If he really brought out his "evil deeds", he would say something to Shen Jingli and completely ignore him. However, he liked his little temper a lot, especially the fact that he was caught red-handed on the spot, and was so cute that he wanted to eat Shen Jingli up.

"I don't have any money, but I've bought all of the surrounding wastelands. It's over 500 mu." Apart from a few hilltops, most of the hill's slopes were their own. Once they were in the wild and planted with fruit trees, they would become paupers again.

In the past when they were at war, the imperial government would always reward him with a thousand taels of gold or ten thousand taels of silver. However, in the military camp, he had no chance to spend it, and did not know the difference between having money and not having money.

"Yeah, we're paupers again." Shen Jingli sighed deeply, he finally understood why the rich and poor loved to shout that they were poor, wasn't that the same as being poor? He had a lot of money, so he always had to take it out to earn some money. During this week, he only had his wallet left, "Let's find someone to clean up the wasteland first. Once that's done, we can go to the back of the mountain to dig up the seedlings."

However, he was not worried. A land without fruit trees could be used to raise chickens, pigs, sheep, and deer, and could also be used to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, and sugar cane. If not, he could rent it out and collect land rent.

"Alright, I will take care of these." Seeing his bright eyes, Mu Chen couldn't help but kiss the corner of his lips that was slightly raised. He made Shen Jingli, who was like a little white rabbit, turn his head and glare at him.

"Don't always sneak in on me." he complained.

"I can't help it." He spoke his love words without changing his expression, and while Shen Jingli was still stunned, he stole another kiss.

Nonsense, Shen Jingli rolled his eyes as he carefully put the land deed in his hand into the box, and then, he locked it in the cupboard.

"Those people won't come to make trouble, will they?" Making money always made people jealous, especially the people with Mu Family who were like wolves and tigers, wishing that their family could starve to death.

"I was just worried that they wouldn't cause trouble." Mu Chen's eyes flashed with a trace of cunning.

Tch, Mu Shisi is really scheming.

Shen Jingli laughed. He actually liked Mu Shisi's crafty look, "Mu Shisi, I realized that I like you."

Yes, how could that be enough?

Mu Chen moved closer to him, "Tomorrow, I'll let Jin'er do her work too." He didn't want to make his brother a rich and idle person.

"Alright, he does need to work more, in case there's no difference when he enters the academy in the future." Shen Jingli did not want Mu Jin to become a silkpants, he hoped that he would be able to learn and understand how hard it was for the common people to live. However, if he met someone who dared to provoke him and used money to kill them, he would have to be rich and powerful.

Mu Jin who was fishing with Chen Jian suddenly sneezed, he felt a cold wind blowing behind him, as though someone was scheming against him, but being optimistic, he did not think much about it, and happily carried his fish basket to another place to continue fishing, unaware that he had been sold out by his brother and sister-in-law.
