Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

2Shen Jingli had personally interviewed a servant that he had asked the Sister-in-law Chen to buy. She was a senior nanny who had stayed in a large family for more than twenty years, and was very experienced, dexterous and dexterous, because the previous master of the house had taken a fancy to her twin sons and forced him to take them as his concubines.    

    

That old mama had lost his husband five years ago and only had one twin sons by her side, so Shen Jingli bought both of them.    

    

"You will live here from now on." Shen Jingli led the two of them into the house next door, which was constructed by Mu Chen a few days ago. Mu Chen did not like people living together with his family, so Shen Jingli did not mind, he decided to let him make the decision.    

    

Nanny Jin and her son each took a small bundle. They raised their heads and looked at the simple and crude embryo house in front of them, not knowing what to do. This house was too simple and crude compared to the owner's house, it was just like a refugee house.    

    

The Nanny Jin was fine, before ssshe entered the big families to become maidservant, he had never seen such a harsh situation, but that small couple was different. In his seventeen years of life, he had never seen such a run-down house before, and had never thought that she would live in such a shabby house.    

    

Little Shuang'er pouted and said straightforwardly, "This house is so dilapidated, how can someone live here?"    

    

Hearing that, Nanny Jin looked at Shen Jingli's gloomy expression and immediately covered his son's mouth. This foolish son, how could he speak nonsense in front of his new master?    

    

"Madam, this child has an open mouth, so I will teach him a lesson. Please don't take it to heart." Nanny Jin pulled her son and knelt on the ground to beg for forgiveness.    

    

Little Shuang'er seemed to know that she had said the wrong thing, and secretly glanced at Shen Jingli. Seeing that Shen Jingli did not say anything, he panicked a little.    

    

"Madam …" He was afraid that Shen Jingli would not want them.    

    

Shen Jingli was actually scared silly by their sudden kneeling. He had lived for so long in the ancient times, and by his side, there were only poor citizens. He had never seen people who knelt down every now and then, nor was he surprised by the sight of people kneeling to him.    

    

"Alright, you can stay here for now." He was tired and did not bother to worry too much about it. He asked the Sister-in-law Chen to leave some pointers for them and went back.

After buying the land and the servants, Mu Chen began to look for workers to work on his work. Now was the time to plant the seedlings, the people from the ten miles and eight cities were all busy with farming, and there weren't many people who could help, so Mu Chen asked Uncle Wang Da to help him look for tens of hardworking workers.    

    

However, five hundred mu of land was too much, so Shen Jingli made a promise in the village. As long as he had time, the men, women and children above thirteen could all come and help and pay according to the amount of work he did, thus, some of the women who stayed home to wash and cook went to help one another out, even the children who had just turned thirteen years old were dragged here to work. With such a large sum of money, it would be a big deal to buy a few more kilograms of pork, who wouldn't be moved by it?    

    

Under everyone's diligent work, in a month's time, they had already tidied up more than 100 mu of land. When Shen Jingli thought it was about to be done, he settled the wages and sent them back home.    

    

Mu Jin had been following his for the past month to clear the wasteland, both of his hands and feet were covered in calluses, and now that he had time to rest, his eyes immediately became mistreated as he complained to Shen Jingli, "Sister-in-law, this is mistreatment, I am only 11 years old, and you actually want me to pull the grass and hoe the ground. Look at my broken hand."    

    

Mu Jin was not a delicate noble young master. He had experienced hardships, suffered from hunger, but had never gone through hard work. This was the first time he knew how hard it was for his mother to grow vegetables for him. However, she went to grow vegetables for them and sell embroidery on the streets. If Grandmother knew that her daughter had fallen to such a state, it would probably cause her Mu Family to lose face.    

    

When he thought of his grandmother, his heart became heavier and heavier. His stepmother wanted to suppress his grandfather's family. His grandmother and uncle also didn't seem to be doing well.    

    

Shen Jingli was sitting on the chair looking at the accounts book, and in this month, he had spent more than half of their silver, which originally amounted to 4,200 gold, but now, he only had more than 1,200 silver. He felt so much pain that he almost pounded his chest and stomped his feet in pain, and after hearing Mu Jin's complaints, he harrumphed, and the account book slapped onto his head, "Little bastard, so what if I told you to pull the grass and hoe? If you want to eat, you have to work. If you don't have money, if you don't have land, if you don't have a reputation, do you want me to raise you for the rest of your life? "    

    

Mu Chen did not mind raising Mu Jin for a lifetime, as he had a way to earn money. Mu Chen was a capable person, so if they worked hard, they would definitely be able to accumulate a lot of wealth in two or three years, and even if they could not kill them, they could let Mu Jin live a life without worries. However, he did not want to cripple Mu Jin.    

    

Mu Jin held his head in grievance, "Sister-in-law, how could you hit me with the account book?    

    

Shen Jingli looked at the account book in his hand, it was so light that it would be blown away the moment it landed, and thought, this brat's ability to spout lies is truly not small, such a small account book can make me stupid? He glared at Mu Jin, then slapped him a few more times with the account book. "Stinking brat, you even dare to bully me, sister-in-law.    

    

Mu Jin scratched his head, laughed foolishly, then said: "Sister-in-law, how could this happen, my hands are in pain."    

    

Shen Jingli obviously knew that he was a genuine young master, but this was different from the past. He no longer had the qualifications to take Qiao Qiao's hand, "You must remember, you are no longer the young master of Mu Family.    

    

In Mu Jin's ears, those words were like a thorn piercing into his heart. That's right, he was no longer the Young Master of Mu Family, and did not have the title of being wealthy anymore. Taking a step back, even if he was still the Young Master of Mu Family, he would still be living a life where there was no end to it.    

    

"Sister-in-law, being Young Master Mu Family is nothing good. The women in my father's room will only get jealous and think of ways to rope in my father and grandmother. Those people were truly shameless. Most of the money in the family was given by their big brother, but those people felt that it was the two of them who had taken advantage of them.    

    

Shen Jingli had never personally experienced the matter of property disputes, but he had watched many things on TV, whether it was ancient or modern, money was a cute little thing, everyone wanted to hug his and hide in their nest, especially the wives and concubines of the noble families in ancient times. If a man could not depend on his, he could only rely on his son and divided more of his wealth, in order to live a better life.    

    

"Don't even think about the trash of that family. They're biting off more than they can chew. We'll just treat it as watching a show. Even if we don't have any money, it won't hinder them." Shen Jingli didn't have the slightest bit of good impression towards Mu Family.    

    

After thinking for a bit, Shen Jingli rubbed his stomach and said: "Tomorrow, go up the mountain with your big brother and me. We'll go transplant some seedlings and cultivate them.    

    

"Alright." Mu Jin had always been strict with his words. Since he said that they could go sideways, then they could definitely go sideways.    

    

— —    

    

Worried that Mu Chen and the others might have destroyed the sapling, Shen Jingli followed them into the mountain with his big belly. Even though he had had a huge argument with Mu Chen during that time, he had never changed his mind, although he was a lazy person, but he would definitely persist when he had decided on something, so Mu Chen had no choice but to follow behind him and protect him quietly.    

    

Mu Chen's expression was extremely ugly. He did not dare to provoke them, so he could only ask Shen Jingli secretly, "Sister-in-law, have you gotten angry with my brother?"    

    

"Nope." "Yes," Shen Jingli replied with a bad tone. He recalled his argument with Mu Chen in the morning and became even more agitated, saying that he had to obediently stay home to rest when he was pregnant. Isn't he a man? However, even if he had a child, it wasn't something he had willingly done. What right did he have to restrict his freedom?    

    

Shen Jingli was extremely dissatisfied with Mu Chen's attitude. That man was too arrogant, and was a man who was chauvinistic, making him feel that Mu Chen treated him as a vassal.    

    

Mu Jin looked at Shen Jingli's face that was even more sinister than Mu Chen's, and thought to himself, What exactly did his brother do? That was why his sister-in-law was so angry. [Big Brother is really not considerate at all. Sister-in-law is a person with a good body. If Big Brother doesn't let her off, she will become so popular. This is really too stupid.]    

    

Along the way, Shen Jingli didn't speak to Mu Chen at all. The atmosphere between the two of them had dropped to zero, making Mu Chen, who was stuck in the middle, feel extremely uncomfortable. However, he was unable to ease the atmosphere between them, because the moment he opened his mouth, they would immediately tell him to shut up.    

    

When they arrived at the place where the wild fruits were growing, Shen Jingli pointed out the characteristics of the fruits and gave them pointers on how to dig so that they would not ruin the fruits and seedlings. He watched from the side, and when Mu Chen was not paying attention to him, he would walk around nearby and take a look at the traps he had set earlier, to see if there were any prey.    

    

After he turned, he saw a mountain deer that was still alive in one of the traps. Shen Jingli looked at the fat prey and was very happy in his heart, so he turned and shouted at Mu Chen: "Fourteen, I caught a mountain deer."    

    

Mu Chen did not know that Mu Chen was angry again. Seeing him come over, Shen Jingli quickly pulled his hand and pointed excitedly at the mountain deer in the trap, "Look, it's a mountain deer, it should be worth three taels of silver. If we take it back, we don't have much money, but if we sell more prey, we can earn a little more.    

    

This was the first time Shen Jingli had hunted a mountain deer, and he was very happy. In the twenty-first century, the mountain deer was a national level protected animal, and he had never seen a mountain deer before. However, in this ancient era where nature had not been destroyed, everyone did not think much of wild deer.    

    

Hearing that he had put in so much effort for himself and his brother, even if Mu Chen was angry, he wouldn't be able to flare up. He held Shen Jingli, afraid that he would fall down.
