After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

After completing the tedious procedures of the land deed, Ruan Mumu quietly slipped a tael of silver into the village chief's hand and expressed her heartfelt gratitude. The village chief accepted the gleaming silver, his face beaming with a smile as radiant as spring blossoms.

Afterwards, the mother and her two children said goodbye to the village chief and told him that they still needed to buy some daily necessities in town.

As the village chief walked further and further away until he disappeared from sight, the three of them examined the land deed in their hands once more. The bright red seal seemed to proclaim that the ownership of this land had finally been settled, bringing them immense peace of mind.

“Sister, this land deed should rightfully have your name on it! After all, it was bought with your hard-earned money.” Even now, Ruan Xiaojun still couldn’t understand why.

In his view, the land deed that his sister had earned with her hard-earned money should rightfully have her name on it.

However, Ruan Mumu firmly believed that Ruan Xiaojun's name should be written on it.

She explained, "Eldest brother, you are the pillar of our Ruan family, and as the eldest son, it's only natural that your name should be on the land deed!"

"Brother, this is the common wealth of our Ruan family, of course your name should be on it! Besides, with this land deed as a guarantee, your marriage with Sister Jinhua will definitely go as planned!" Ruan Mumu said excitedly.

She was filled with joy as she looked forward to the bright future, and she could almost see her brother's happy life.

Ruan Mumu bought two catties of pork belly and three catties of fatty meat, spending a total of eighty coins. The shopkeeper was so happy that he gave them two pieces of pork bones for free. Although the meat on them had been cleaned off, they were definitely going to take something that was free!

Seeing that the shop owner was easy to talk to, Ruan Mumu pointed to the bucket under the counter and asked, "Boss, how much is that pig offal?"

When Chen Donghua heard Ruan Mumu ordering pig offal, she quickly tugged at her and whispered, "Mumu, why are you buying so much? Besides, nobody eats that kind of pig offal..."

Ruan Mumu patted Chen Donghua's hand and whispered comforting words in her ear: "Mom, don't worry, I guarantee you'll want to eat more after you've eaten it."

When the shopkeeper saw Ruan Mumu ask this question, he quickly said, "Miss, since you've bought so much meat today, if you really want it, you can take it all for ten coins."

"Boss, can we leave ours here for now and come back to pick them up later when we buy our things?" Ruan Mumu asked.

The boss chuckled and said, "Of course, no problem."

After paying, Ruan Mumu took Chen Donghua and Ruan Xiaojun to buy other things.

Along the way, Ruan Mumu enthusiastically planned what to buy next. As she walked, she said, "Let's buy two pots first! Then we'll pick out a sturdy dining table, some comfortable chairs, and of course, essential kitchen knives, bowls, chopsticks, buckets, water tanks, and so on. Oh, right, most importantly, we need to buy a comfortable bed and warm blankets, and of course, we can't forget our own clothes and shoes..."

As Chen Donghua listened to her daughter list the items on the shopping list, she couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Mumu, is it really okay for us to spend money so lavishly? Isn't it too wasteful?"

Ruan Xiaojun chimed in, "Yeah, little sister, if we buy so much stuff all at once, other people will definitely be envious..."

However, Ruan Mumu replied nonchalantly, "Mom, brother, our life is already difficult enough. Now that we have some money, we should definitely solve the most basic problems of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation first! As for what others think, does it really matter? Should we compromise ourselves because we worry about what others think? I think as long as we are happy and comfortable, that's enough!"

“But…” Chen Donghua seemed to want to say something more, but Ruan Mumu immediately interrupted her: “Mother, all the things we buy now can be used in the new house, so it won’t be a waste. Besides, think about it, if our family’s situation improves, Jin Hua’s family will naturally look at my brother with new respect!”

Hearing his sister say these words so firmly, Ruan Xiaojun's words of dissuasion stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

He knew that everything his sister did was for his sake, and that he was indeed of marriageable age. If his family was too poor, not only might the girl's family look down on him, but the girl herself might also dislike him.

"Sigh, alright, then I'll listen to your sister!" Chen Donghua sighed helplessly, indicating her compromise.

"Mom, brother, please don't worry! I firmly believe that I will be able to earn more money to support the family in the future, so you don't need to worry about it anymore. Go ahead and buy whatever you want. Come on, let's hurry up and go shopping on the main street..." Ruan Mumu held Chen Donghua and Ruan Xiaojun's arms tightly and walked excitedly towards the main street.

When the three of them finished purchasing the necessary items, they had to hire two oxcarts to transport them all. When the oxcarts, laden with goods, entered the village, they immediately caused a sensation among the villagers.

"Didn't Xiaojun's family just split up and become dirt poor? How come they have money to buy two oxcartloads of stuff? Did they strike it rich?"

"I heard they even bought a mountain or something. Did they find a gold ingot?"

"Really? They actually bought a mountain? Where did they buy it?"

"I heard they're going to build a big house soon. Good heavens, when will our family be able to afford a new house?"

……

The people gathered outside the ancestral hall were whispering and discussing among themselves.

When Ruan Mumu's family bought so many things, some young people who knew them well saw it and immediately stepped forward to help carry the things into the house. The Ruan family didn't bother to pay attention to what others were discussing. Anyway, the truth would eventually come out, so let them talk about it as they pleased!
