"It’s not a good idea, our land is our root. If we sell the land, we won’t have anything left!" Mu Dade said.

Normally, Mu Dade would surely wish Mr. Mu would sell the land to subsidize him.

But now, he doesn’t want it at all.

He doesn’t want to bring any member of the Old Mu Family.

If possible, he would hope that the money from the land can be used to help them in the county town like in the past.

As for these people, having enough to eat is sufficient!

Mu Dade’s words struck a chord with Mr. Mu.

He was reluctant to sell both the house and the land, just in case he wanted to live a rural life in the future.

Coming back for a few days wouldn’t be a bad idea!

"Dad, I say not only should we sell the land, but we should also sell this house!" Mu Danian said urgently.

"Think about it, we’ve spent most of our lives as farmers, and now there’s finally a chance to escape this plight, why cling to those old woods?"

Mu Danian strongly wanted to get rid of these things from the Old Mu Family.

Only then could they really follow their older brother to the county town.

Truly becoming city dwellers!

"Selling the land, let’s hold off on it for now. Let’s think of other ways to earn some money for renting a house!"

Mr. Mu longed to go to the county town.

This was something he’d desired for so long, and he couldn’t give up just because of rental costs.

"Dad, it’s not just about rent; there are living expenses too. In the countryside, at least you have rice and grain, but once you’re in the county town, you need money for everything..."

Mu Dade continued to persuade Mr. Mu.

However, what Mu Dade said was indeed true; if all the Old Mu Family moved there, wouldn’t it all be at his expense?

Even if he had mountains of gold and silver, he couldn’t sustain these freeloaders!

"Big brother, this isn’t a problem, Daddy Gou Dan, Fourth, Fifth, they’re all strong and healthy. They can do hard labor in the county town until you receive a salary.

I and Fourth’s wife can do needlework. Otherwise, we can grow vegetables in the backyard and learn from that third branch girl to do business, surely we can’t starve ourselves?"

When Mrs. Lin said this, not only did it impress Mr. Mu, but even Old Mrs. Mu couldn’t help but admire.

"Indeed, my second sister-in-law is really good with plans. Dad, I think we should follow my second sister-in-law’s advice and move the whole family to the county town!" Mu Danian said.

"Dad..."

Mu Dade wanted to say more but was interrupted by Mr. Mu.

"Enough, eldest, your concerns aren’t overlooked, but it’s rare for our family to be together.

Since heaven gave us this opportunity, we should seize it. As a family, happily together, just like the second wife’s plan, with so many men in the Old Mu Family, are we really afraid of starving a few people?

Besides, your mother and I aren’t old yet, we can still offer some help!"

Mr. Mu’s words almost infuriated Mu Dade.

But he couldn’t act out.

If he opposed too strongly, the family would accuse him of forgetting his roots and such.

"Dad, Mom..."

Amidst two loud calls, Mu Xiangxiang, holding Sun Dali’s hand, rushed into the Old Mu Family’s main room with Mu Zhenzhen.

Recently, after being injured by Mu Shuangshuang, Mu Zhenzhen went to a relative’s in the Old Mu Family to recuperate and find a good man for herself.

Mu Zhenzhen visited Zhuangzi several times, only to be chased away each time.

Now she didn’t want to reconcile with Zhuangzi anymore; with that energy, why not find a wealthy man and be carried back as a wife?

So, hearing about Mu Dade’s return, Mu Zhenzhen couldn’t hold back!

Mu Dade going to be a county magistrate means her status rises, expanding her chances for marriage!

As for Mu Xiangxiang, she was entirely urged by Sun Dali’s mother.

Sun Dali’s mother was also ordinary, knowing Mu Dade was becoming a county magistrate, she thought that Mu Xiangxiang, as Mu Dade’s sister, should support herself as a brother-in-law.

With the two daughters back, Old Mrs. Mu immediately sat up from the recliner.

"Oh, my daughters... My daughters are back!"

After getting injured, Old Mrs. Mu hadn’t seen Mu Xiangxiang.

Within days, Old Mrs. Mu missed her greatly.

Breaking away from Sun Dali, Mu Xiangxiang rushed forward to hug Old Mrs. Mu: "Mom, Xiangxiang is back to see you. I heard you were hurt?"

"Mom, are you alright?" Mu Zhenzhen joined in beside Old Mrs. Mu.

"I’m fine, I’m fine, what could be the matter!" Old Mrs. Mu waved her hand, "But you two, you’ve both lost weight!"

"Mom, I want delicious food. I’m so hungry..." Mu Xiangxiang smacked her lips.

No sooner said than done, Old Mrs. Mu turned to Mrs. Liu: "Fourth’s wife, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear Xiangxiang say she’s hungry? Why aren’t you making food for Xiangxiang?"

At the time between breakfast and lunch, Mrs. Liu had never seen anyone eat at this hour.

So she hesitated, inevitably earning a scolding from Old Mrs. Mu.

"Why are you just standing there? Get cooking, or I’ll have Fourth divorce you, lazy woman!"

Scolded like that, Mrs. Liu hurriedly ran out of the main room.

Mu Dajiang sighed and followed after.

Mu Xiaxia quickly left holding Xiao Chu.

Mu Xiangxiang and Mu Zhenzhen, one on each side, coaxed Old Mrs. Mu into laughter.

Her head started hurting again, but in Old Mrs. Mu’s view, it was nothing.

After entertaining Old Mrs. Mu, Mu Zhenzhen began: "Big brother, sister heard you’re going to the county as a magistrate. Congratulations!"

Mu Xiangxiang also didn’t forget the purpose of her visit: "Big brother, look at Dali, can’t you get him a magistrate position too?"

Even Mu Xiangxiang, who’s usually not in charge, knew to advocate for her man after eating so much delicious food from Sun Dali’s mother.

"Xiangxiang, it’s not that easy to be a magistrate. I had to pass the imperial examination to become a magistrate!" Mu Dade unleashed his previous anger on Mu Xiangxiang, causing his tone to be somewhat harsh!

"But aren’t there positions that don’t require imperial exams? In the government office, there must be something suitable for Dali to do, right?" Mu Xiangxiang pouted in dissatisfaction at Mu Dade’s manner.

Mrs. Lin and Mu Danian listened to Mu Xiangxiang’s concerns.

Their minds raced.

Finally, both spoke at once.

"Big brother, I think our Dazhong could go to the county town to serve as an arrest officer or something, he’s strong and a good hand at catching people!"

"Big brother, how about sending me to be a prison guard? I hear the officers in the jail can make quite a bit of money; send me there, and I’ll give all the money to the Old Mu Family, how about that?"

Each of them made outrageous requests, hoping Mu Dade could get them some benefits.

But little did they know, Mu Dade didn’t want to help anyone!
