With the help of the old man, Ruan He and Jia Yue reached a deal for this house. When the thin piece of deed was handed over, it meant that this huge house was now their Mu family's house. The main urban area of ​​Yuecheng has an additional home that can protect it from wind and rain.

Jia Yue seemed to have some important things to do. After handing over the deed, he couldn't continue to accompany him. He said an apology and left the house in a hurry.

A group of people watched Jia Yue hurriedly leave, then began to disperse, each happily cleaning the house.

Mrs. Mutai, the old man and Mu Yunchao were responsible for cleaning the house, while Ruan He and Mu Yunxiao were responsible for cleaning a large courtyard that was even more difficult to deal with.

The two of them took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun and the yard was still bright, so they quickly cleaned the well first, wiping away all the fallen leaves and moss accumulated on it, revealing the slightly turbid water in the well.

After all, it had been idle for many years, and there was all kinds of dirt floating in the well water, especially the layer of withered and yellow leaves that covered it, and it needed to be cleaned up again.

"Pull up the well water a few times and scoop out the layer of dirty water above. It should be ready for use directly."

Next, they clean the entire house and need clean water to rinse it carefully. The role of this well is very important.

After working hard for a while, half an hour had passed when footsteps came from inside the house. The two of them looked up and saw Mrs. Mutai and others walking out of the house.

After a lot of hard work, everyone's faces were covered with glistening beads of sweat, especially their hands, which were inevitably stained with black marks. However, there were smiles on their faces, looking high. Talking happily, he walked out.

Mrs. Mutai saw Ruan He and his wife still bending down to clean the well, and walked to them and called out: "Xiao'er, Xiaohe, it's getting dark soon, we have to go back." Home, don’t worry your Aunt Zong and the others.”

Before Ruan He could reply, Mu Yunxiao raised his head and looked over. There was nothing wrong in his stern brows, and he said calmly: "Grandma, you go back first. Xiaohe and I will clean this well." Then go back, there are so many of us and we can’t even fit in one carriage.”

Ruan He thought about it for a moment and felt that Mu Yunxiao's words made sense. They were halfway through cleaning up. If they stopped rashly, they would not know how many more leaves would fall into the well water overnight.

Next, we have to clean up the entire house. Clean water is essential. The sooner this well is cleaned up, the better.

Moreover, Mu Yunxiao will be on duty tomorrow, and Ruan He will be responsible for running the store. Neither of them can come over to clean the water in this well. We can't let my grandmother bend over to clean this well. It is too dangerous. .

After thinking about this, Ruan He also nodded, raised his head and glanced at Mu Yunxiao, and echoed: "Grandma, Yunxiao is right, you go back first, we should be busy for a while before going back."

"Okay, Chao'er, let's go back first."

Mrs. Mutai, supported by her little grandson, walked out of the house's gate laughing and chatting with the old man. They parted at the door and went their separate ways in the carriage of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting darker, and the pale moon on the horizon rose, reflecting shadows in the yard full of fallen leaves.In the calm courtyard, the rustling wind blew by. As Mrs. Mutai and the others left, only Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He were left in the courtyard.

Until the surroundings quieted down, Mu Yunxiao, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised his eyes, grabbed Ruan He's slender arm, and said calmly and hoarsely: "Madam, Mr. Jia gave me a low price."

This sentence came out of nowhere and was unclear. Ruan He cast a puzzled look and glanced at him blankly, without reacting for a moment.

She raised her clear eyes blankly and met Mu Yunxiao's dark eyes. She swayed slightly and vaguely understood what was going on. She then said, "It should be for the sake of the old man... But... Mr. Jia’s kindness must still be remembered.”

After such an unclear conversation ended, the two of them became inexplicably quiet again. Mu Yunxiao turned around, quietly picked up the wooden barrel lying aside, put it in along the mouth of the well, and put the barrel in. The dirty water at the top was scooped up.

Buckets after buckets of dirty water covered with fallen leaves were brought up and used to wash away the dusty courtyard floor. After several trips, the water in the well became visibly clear to the naked eye.

When the wooden bucket was put in again, the wooden bucket filled with water was pulled up lightly. It was filled with well water, and almost no dust was visible.

"It's almost done." Ruan He stretched out her hands and put her black-stained hands into the cold well water. The cool and comfortable well water washed over her hands. She sighed comfortably and squinted. Narrowing his eyes, he said.

Ruan He silently washed his hands with this bucket of well water, and then he took a long breath and said, "Wash your hands too, and then we can almost go home. Don't let grandma and the others." The wait is imminent.”

Mu Yunxiao responded, and followed her actions, putting his dusty and dirty hands into the well water to clean them, shaking off the water drops in his hands, and turned around.

When they were about to leave, Ruan He took out the deed paper from his arms again, held it in his hand, and looked at it carefully under the not-so-bright moonlight.

In an instant, the deed paper in her hand disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace behind. Ruan He explained casually: "I put the deed paper into the space first to avoid losing it. It’s better to be safe with such a valuable thing. Then after the new year, we can find Mr. Jia to exchange the land deed for it.”

Ruan He was talking to himself when a low, hoarse voice with unknown meaning suddenly sounded from the side.

"Madam, what do you think of Mr. Jia?"

Ruan He didn't understand Mu Yunxiao's sudden question. She was slightly stunned, and followed his words and responded vaguely.

"Master Jia... is a very good person, at least he is good to our family. He bought my century-old wild ginseng at a high price, and helped us find such a cheap place that is very close to the shop. 's big house." (End of chapter)
