At the entrance of the brokerage, the middle-aged man smiled as he saw Chen Xuan out the door.

"Young Master Chen, please rest assured, the contract document can be delivered to you tomorrow morning!"

"It won't delay your time."

He said with a smile.

At this moment, the two had finished viewing the house and had already signed the preliminary contract document. They just needed to wait for the government to back up the document tomorrow, and it would be completely finalized.

"Then I'll trouble you!"

"Thank you, Boss Du, for this!"

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, then took his leave.

After watching Chen Xuan leave, the middle-aged man turned and walked back into the room.

"Have someone keep an eye on that place. If it becomes vacant, remember to get it back!"

As he walked in, the middle-aged man immediately spoke to the young attendant from before.

"Alright, Master Du!"

The young attendant quickly responded, a smile appearing on his face.

Their brokerage indeed rarely engaged in such risk-free transactions, but there were many in Green Mountain City who did.

A rootless outsider occupying a large two-courtyard house might not necessarily live peacefully.

Even if it was just in the West of the City, the same applied.

Four hundred taels were enough to make many people take risks.

Of course, this had nothing to do with the middle-aged man.

He wouldn't remind them; anyway, if the house became vacant, he could sell it again.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan, who had left, quickly returned to the previous courtyard.

After confirming, his mother, younger brother, and Second Uncle were all waiting for him in that courtyard.

"Er Gou!"

Seeing Chen Xuan return, Zhang Chunhua quickly walked over, her expression somewhat uneasy.

"Mother, it's done. The document will be delivered tomorrow. This will be our home from now on!"

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Er Gou, this must cost a lot of money. Why don't we switch to a smaller one, as long as we have a place to live?"

Zhang Chunhua opened her mouth, still unable to resist speaking.

"Don't worry, Mother, it's fine. This will be our home from now on!"

Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head.

Changing places? Of course, he wouldn't change places. This was the place he had chosen after several verifications with his Conceptual Ability.

After speaking, Chen Xuan immediately looked at his Second Uncle.

"Second Uncle, I inquired at the brokerage. Zhang's General Store in the South of the City is looking for a porter. It pays a hundred copper coins a month. I wonder if Second Uncle is willing?"

He pondered for a moment, organizing the thoughts in his mind, before slowly speaking.

Since his Second Uncle wanted to find work in the city, Chen Xuan naturally would help.

In fact, he had already decided on the way here.

He was just using this as an excuse to bring it up now.

"Really?"

Chen Er Shan's eyes lit up with joy, and he spoke with excitement.

Upon entering the city, he had felt how difficult it was to survive in Green Mountain City. He hadn't held out much hope of finding work himself, but he hadn't expected his nephew to have "inquired" about it for him.

"Naturally, it's true!"

"Second Uncle can go and ask today."

"Oh, and as for a place to stay, Second Uncle can temporarily live here. Also, if it's inconvenient, you can also have Second Zhuang Brother and Third Aunt come over. The courtyard is very large, so there shouldn't be a problem with everyone staying here." Chen Xuan nodded, then seemed to think of something and spoke to his Second Uncle again.

"This!"

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Chen Er Shan was somewhat tempted, but also hesitant.

Chen Er Shan was naturally willing to have his family move to the city, but there were many issues regarding the previous incident and how they would live after entering the city.

"Second Uncle, it's alright. Oh, and the West City Clothing Store is also looking for laundry workers. They pay ten copper coins a day. Second Aunt can go there, which can also help with household expenses. Maybe after a few years, Second Zhuang Brother can even go to a Martial Hall to learn martial arts. I've inquired, and to have a future, you must learn martial arts."

"As for the previous matter, we are in the West of the City, and those nobles are in the East of the City. It's hard for us to cross paths."

Seeing Chen Er Shan's hesitation and temptation, Chen Xuan smiled and spoke again.

"Er Gou, thank you!"

"I'll bring Second Zhuang and his mother over tomorrow!"

Listening to Chen Xuan's narration, especially hearing that the West City Clothing Store was also hiring and that his wife could go, he no longer hesitated and readily agreed.

Life in the village was clearly becoming very difficult.

Although the city was dangerous and they might even encounter the scene from before.

It was clearly much better than the village.

Moreover, Chen Xuan's words had also tempted him.

Martial Hall, learning martial arts, although Chen Er Shan wasn't very clear about it, he had heard his third brother mention it before. Since his son had a chance, Chen Er Shan didn't want to give up.

"We're family, Second Uncle, there's no need!"

Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Chen San Ye was considered dealt with by him.

But he still had a young son.

Chen Xuan tried several times, but with his current methods, resolving the issue was quite difficult and even carried some risks.

Therefore, to avoid implicating his Second Uncle, the best solution was naturally to bring his Second Uncle's family to Green Mountain City.

As for the things he said.

They were naturally all true.

With his Conceptual Ability, it was too easy for him to obtain information.

It was just that at first, he couldn't find a reason to reveal it.

"Um, Er Gou, Chunhua, I'll go ask around in the South of the City first. I'll come back later to help pack!"

Chen Er Shan felt a bit embarrassed, his gaze shifting towards Chen Xuan and Zhang Chunhua.

"Second Uncle, you go ahead. I also have something to go out for!"

"We'll pack when we get back, it's almost done anyway!"

Chen Xuan nodded with a smile.

When they were dealing with the contract earlier, Chen Er Shan and Zhang Chunhua had already packed most of their things, so there wasn't much left to do now.

Chen Xuan could also understand Chen Er Shan's urgency and naturally wouldn't stop him.

"Then I'll hurry over and ask, and I'll be right back!"

Chen Er Shan quickly nodded.

Then he rushed out the door.

It wasn't that he didn't believe Chen Xuan, but for something like this, without a concrete answer, or rather, without seeing it for himself, Chen Er Shan couldn't feel at ease.

After Chen Xuan watched Chen Er Shan leave.

He picked up his Flatbed Cart again, preparing to go out.

"Er Gou, are you coming back for dinner later?"

Seeing Chen Xuan about to go out, Zhang Chunhua hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

Her expression was a little uneasy.

There was nothing she could do. They had moved to a new place, and such a large house.

As a rural woman, it was hard for her to feel at ease inside.

"I'll be back for dinner. It shouldn't take long, at most an hour!"

"I'm just going to check out that Martial Hall over there."

Chen Xuan said with a smile, directly stating his purpose.

He could naturally sense Zhang Chunhua's unease, but the tiger had been left for two days. If he didn't deal with it soon, it would really start to smell. If that happened, he would have to go hunt another one.

I can only leave today.

"Oh, oh, oh!"

"Then come back early, your mother will make you a good meal!!"

Zhang Chunhua quickly nodded.

Chen Xuan sighed, then dragged the flatbed cart out of the room.
