CHAPTER 125: CHAPTER 125 MU YUANXIU COMES TO HELP (3)
Mu Yuanxiu was carrying an empty set of baskets.
He greeted Prince Luling, "Uncle Li," and then called to Princess Consort Luling and the princely heir, "Lady Li, Brother Li, I’m here to help you move house."
Prince Luling was very pleased, "You really are a warm-hearted and straightforward child."
Princess Consort Luling was nonchalant and said nothing.
The princely heir smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Then it’s going to be hard work for you, Brother Mu."
Li Xing’an and the Second Young Master sulked, "We don’t need anyone to help us!"
Prince Luling scolded his two sons, "People have come, how can you speak like this? He’s younger than you, but much more sensible!"
The pair, "..."
"I checked the weather, and the weather might change after noon, so I specifically hurried over to help." Mu Yuanxiu said.
Li Xing’an went to the open space, looked up at the sky, "Will the weather change? The sky is full of clouds!"
"The morning clouds mean stay indoor, the evening clouds lead the way far, Third Brother, it’s been stuffy since early morning, and the sky is covered with clouds, it really seems like the weather is going to change." Li Yuzhu said.
The princely heir said, "Then we have to hurry, if the weather changes and it rains, the mountain road will be hard to walk on, and carrying things on the muddy road will be impossible."
At the mention of possible rain, everyone started moving faster.
The Great Princess dashed into the cave, pulled a sheet off Xue Family’s bedding, laid it flat, and wrapped up all her personal items, tying the four corners to make a large bundle.
She pulled the Second Princess over, "Second Sister, here’s a chance to lose weight, help me carry the luggage to the cart."
The Second Princess frowned, "Put my things in, and I’ll help."
The Great Princess looked over the Second Princess’s pile of things and got so angry her face turned dark, it was actually a pile of food!
"Where did you find this pile of dry pastries?"
The Second Princess scratched her head sheepishly, "I paid Liu the Bricklayer’s eldest granddaughter to make them."
The Great Princess, "..." She was speechless, "I didn’t expect you to be so resourceful!"
"Just a bit of food, put it inside." The Second Princess sorted the pile of pastries with her hand.
Inside two pieces of clothing were dozens of baked pastries.
Each dry pastry was palm-sized, and the two pieces of clothing couldn’t hold them.
The Great Princess sneered, "If you don’t get fat, who will? Tie the clothes tightly, don’t let the pastries fall out and dirty my clothes. My clothes are new, I’ve never worn them for a day."
The Second Princess immediately grinned, "Got it, Big Sister."
If she didn’t wrap these pastries in a large cloth, she’d have to run back and forth several times to move them to the cart.
She couldn’t handle that.
The sheet was spread out again, and the Second Princess stuffed the pile of pastries inside.
When Xue Family came running into the cave and saw the sheet taken, she was angered but didn’t dare to speak.
She didn’t dare challenge the Great Princess.
The Great Princess and the Second Princess charged with cries of "oh dear" as they lifted the large bundle onto the cart.
As for small items like pots, pans, kitchen knives, and cutting boards, they were all packed into Mu Yuanxiu’s baskets.
Small items are easy to lose, so putting them in baskets for transport was most suitable.
He really knew how to come up with solutions.
Li Yuzhu couldn’t help but smile.
As the Great Princess and Second Princess placed their items on the cart, Xue Family also hurriedly loaded her family’s clothes.
Carrying them down the mountain was too much, pushing them on a cart was easier.
Guoguo and Jingjing were watched over by Prince Luling, while Princess Consort Luling organized her and Prince Luling’s clothes and also placed them on the cart.
While Li Yuzhu was organizing her belongings, she also took care of the Second Young Master and Li Xing’an’s things, which touched the two brothers so much they grinned.
The cart was filled with clothes, quite heavy, and the two brothers pushed it down the mountain together.
The female goat had a bad temper, and Mu Yuanxiu worried they wouldn’t be able to handle it, so he tethered it and led it down the mountain while carrying the baskets.
As for light items like chicks, shovels, baskets, and hampers, they were allocated to Li Yuzhu, the Great Princess, and the Second Princess.
Everyone took a little.
The princely heir shouldered the heavy old bathtub.
Although they bought a new bathtub yesterday, Li Yuzhu thought the old one was still intact and might come in handy for something else down the mountain.
The two children were taken down the mountain together by Princess Consort Luling and Xue Family, with Prince Luling at the back ensuring nothing was left behind.
The bustling moving team headed down the mountain.
Yesterday, while Li Yuzhu and Li Xing’an went to see Miss Chai, the princely heir took the Second Young Master to the market.
They bought some furniture and already placed it in the new house ahead of time.
Since there were many people, they picked the cheapest options for each piece of furniture.
Also, everyone couldn’t have their own bed like in the Prince Mansion, but rather the three sisters shared a room and a bed.
The Second Young Master and Li Xing’an shared a room and a bed.
Princess Consort Luling and her husband had their own room, and the princely heir and Xue Family with the two children shared another room.
The rooms originally allocated to each person still had several unoccupied, waiting for more money to furnish them separately.
The Great Princess was not happy about squeezing into a room with Li Yuzhu and the Second Princess, but there was nothing she could do.
Li Yuzhu told her that to have a room to herself, she’d have to earn more to buy a bed, desk, and closet.
Currently, there wasn’t enough money, they had to make do.
Making do was better than sleeping on the grass mat in the cave; even if the Great Princess had thoughts, she had to accept it.
Once they moved things in front of the house, the princely heir unlocked the gate, and everyone proceeded to move their belongings to their respective rooms.
Li Yuzhu, the Great Princess, and the Second Princess carried their belongings into their new room.
Inside, against the wall was a big bed, draped with a mosquito net, covered with a new mattress, sheet, and three pillows.
In addition, there was a cabinet, a dressing table, a small desk, and three stools.
The three sisters cheered together.
Now it felt like a bedroom!
The Great Princess dropped her things on the floor and raced to the bed, touching the blanket and pillows excitedly.
"The bed is so soft, the blanket so soft." The Great Princess was so excited her eyes were red.
The Second Princess patted the bed, smiling, "I want to sleep early and stay asleep till noon tomorrow."
Li Yuzhu sorted her belongings, placing each item in order.
Clothes in the cabinet, shoes under the bed.
"That’s not possible, there’s still work to do tomorrow, how can you sleep till noon?" Li Yuzhu shook her head, "We must get up early."
"Do you want to work us to death?" The Great Princess rolled her eyes, "I don’t care, I haven’t slept well in days, I’m definitely sleeping in tomorrow! Till noon!"
"Yes, till noon." The Second Princess nodded.
The Great Princess narrowed her eyes, "Third Sister, the majority rules."
Li Yuzhu didn’t answer; if that was the case, she’d always be the minority!
Just after organizing her things, Li Xing’an came running.
He stood outside the window, waving at the room, "Third Sister, come on, let’s explore the house!"
