Pick up a princess to be your wife

Li Mu saw through Wang Xiulian's little scheme but didn't say anything.

But honest Li Tian was very puzzled.

"You were urging Erlang to move out every day just a few days ago, what's wrong with you today? Did the sun rise in the west?" Li Tian asked, looking puzzled.

"What are you saying? Erlang is family with us. It's only natural for a family to live together." Wang Xiulian glared at Li Tian and said irritably.

“But you made Erlang separate from me before, saying we weren’t family,” Li Tian said.

“You’re not brothers anymore after the family splits up? I’m not your sister-in-law anymore after the family splits up? Besides, Erlang is in a hurry to move out now. Miss Li Xin can’t cook, and Erlang can’t cook either. Are we going to starve every day?” Wang Xiulian said irritably.

Li Mu: I can't cook? I didn't even know that myself.

Oh right, my sister-in-law was referring to the predecessor.

Wang Xiulian looked at Li Mu with a smile and said, "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense. You can stay in this house as long as you want, no one will kick you out. If you feel that the small room is not suitable, your brother and I can switch rooms with you and your wife."

A couple?

Why does Li Xin feel like she's being shot with arrows for no reason every day?

Her face flushed red, she lowered her head and ate quickly.

This house is great in every way except for being too small.

The warmth of human kindness that Li Mu had never experienced in his previous life was everywhere here.

He loves this home and feels a strong sense of belonging.

He was reluctant to move out, but he would have to leave sooner or later.

“What my sister-in-law says is true. Things aren’t really settled yet, so I’ll stay at home for a while longer. As for changing rooms, there’s no need. The small room is comfortable enough,” Li Mu said with a smile.

At this moment, Li Xin raised her eyes and looked at Li Mu.

Ever since she overheard Li Tian and Wang Xiulian discussing life last night, she has been feeling uneasy.

She wanted to move out, but what Wang Xiulian said earlier made sense.

Now that we've moved out, who will cook, who will wash the dishes, and who will do the laundry?

These are all major problems we face.

At least for Li Xin, these are all difficult problems.

Li Tian and his wife also have a son, so Li Mu will not switch rooms with them.

The couple is busy every day, and there are no elderly people in their family. The children usually stay at the wife's parents' house and are taken care of by their maternal grandparents.

"As long as Erlang is comfortable, that's fine. I'm just worried that you won't be comfortable staying here," Wang Xiulian said with a smile.

"When are you going to bring your nephew back? I, his own uncle, haven't even met him yet," Li Mu said with a smile.

"I'll take a leave of absence sometime and bring your nephew back."

"Alright, then I'll have to prepare a gift for my nephew."

"No need to spend money. You and Miss Li Xin will still have to live together in the future, and there will be many places where you need money."

For Li Mu, who had just arrived in this world, human kindness was the greatest comfort.

From the beginning, Li Mu had no prejudice against his sister-in-law. Although Wang Xiulian was somewhat harsh, she did not look down on her elder brother for being poor.

My sister-in-law and my brother-in-law have completely complementary personalities.

The next morning, Li Mu delivered some goods to Li Ertie and then returned home.

Chop wood, fetch water, and clean the house.

Li Xin always followed by, wanting to help in some way, but she couldn't do anything.

Before 5 PM, Li Mu asked Li Xin to tell his brother and sister-in-law that he would not be home for dinner, and then he went out.

Upon arriving at Jubaoge, He Xianzhi was dressed in a neutral white outfit, which accentuated her already aloof and cool demeanor, making her appear even more aloof.

"Miss He has excellent taste in clothing," Li Mu praised earnestly.

"Change your clothes and get ready to go out."

He Xianzhi called out, and Xiao Lan handed a set of clothes to Li Mu.

"No need," Li Mu said calmly.

"You're going to do business with my young lady dressed like this? Aren't you going to embarrass her? Change right now!" Xiao Lan scolded angrily.

Li Mu remained unmoved and said calmly, "Miss He, shall we set off now?"

"Are you deaf and can't you hear me when I tell you to change your clothes?"

Li Mu pretended not to hear anything, which infuriated Xiao Lan.

"Fine, since Young Master Li doesn't want to change his clothes, then he won't. Someone, prepare the carriage."

He Xianzhi and Xiao Lan boarded the carriage one after the other. Li Mu was about to get on, but Xiao Lan stopped him.

"You sit in the front," Xiaolan scolded, and pulled down the curtain.

Li Mu originally thought the journey would be quite long, but the carriage stopped in front of a restaurant less than one street away.

A life of wealth and privilege is a life of wealth and privilege; even a two- or three-minute walk requires a horse-drawn carriage.

After going up to the second floor of the restaurant, we entered a private room where a man in his forties or fifties was waiting.

"I've seen Miss."

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Master Zhang." He Xianzhi nodded.

Master Zhang sized up Li Mu for a while, and seeing that Li Mu was dressed shabbily, he immediately showed a contemptuous expression.

I have no idea what this country bumpkin is here for.

After a short while, a group of people walked in from outside.

The leader was none other than Zhou Wanfu, the wealthy Zhou.

"Manager He, I greet you with a smile." Zhou Wanfu greeted him.

"Greetings, Mr. Zhou. Please have a seat."

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Wanfu and He Xianzhi sat down.

Seeing that Master Zhang had not taken a seat, Li Mu stood next to He Xianzhi with him.

"I purchased this batch of goods at a high price today, and Manager He will surely leave satisfied." Zhou Wanfu smiled with narrowed eyes, his pupils occasionally sweeping over He Xianzhi.

He had seen many beauties, but a cold beauty like He Xianzhi, who came from a wealthy family and possessed an exceptional temperament, was truly a rare sight.

Sitting next to He Xianzhi, even just glancing at her, is a pleasure.

If He Xianzhi hadn't been backed by the He family, Zhou Wanfu would have truly wanted to abduct this stunning beauty and take her as a concubine, cherishing her day and night.

“The antique industry is in a slump these days, and the price I offer Mr. Zhou later may not satisfy him,” He Xianzhi said softly.

“If I hadn’t been prepared, I wouldn’t have chosen to sell antiques at this critical juncture, would I? I’m not as wealthy as Miss He; I can’t handle all these things,” Zhou Wanfu said.

"eat first."

"Alright, Manager He, would you like a drink?"

"I don't drink, sorry."

"Haha, no problem."

The two ate while chatting intermittently.

The others could only stand by and watch, swallowing their saliva.

After the two finished eating, the waiter came in and cleaned the table. Only then did Zhou Wanfu have his attendant carry a box onto the table.

The attendants carefully placed each antique on the table.

"Manager He, let's inspect the goods."

He Xianzhi nodded and winked at Master Zhang.

Master Zhang nodded and then sat down to begin examining the patient.
