For a moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table felt a bit awkward!
翠西 quickly intervened, "Alright! Leo! There are guests at home! Besides, can't we talk about this after dinner?"
翠西 looked at her husband with a serious expression.
Under 翠西's sharp gaze, Leo surrendered.
"Alright! My bad! I shouldn't have said that now! Sorry, Dad!" Leo said nonchalantly.
"Humph!" 德里克 simply ignored him.
Then 楚暮 suddenly said, "德里克 Uncle! Can I take over your ranch?"
Yes, take over the ranch! This was an idea that came to 楚暮 when he heard about the ranch being put up for sale. Now, with the money and a temporary ID card, taking over the ranch was completely feasible.
These words caused 德里克's family to look at him with a strange expression.
翠西 had also heard 德里克 talk about 楚暮's situation, so she was quite concerned about him. When 楚暮 said those words, her first impression was that he was a good kid.
"Chu Mu, this is a matter between them, you don't need to worry about it."
Chu Mu shook his head and said seriously to 德里克, "I'm serious, 德里克 Uncle, Leo and 翠西. I really hope to take over 德里克 Uncle's ranch."
"Actually, when I heard 德里克 Uncle mention this at the ranch, I was moved. So, when I was getting my ID card, I specifically asked, and they said that all I need is an ID card. And, I sold the things I found in the mountains today, so don't worry about the money."
"It's not about the money, Chu Mu." Leo seemed to want to persuade Chu Mu to reconsider taking over the ranch.
"The ranch has been tough to run these years. This is the most important reason besides 德里克's age."
Chu Mu said, "It's okay, Leo, being self-sufficient is enough."
"Alright!"
Suddenly, 德里克 interrupted their conversation.
德里克 turned to look at 楚暮 and asked seriously, "Chu Mu, do you really want to take over my ranch?"
"Yes." Chu Mu did not hesitate.
"Have you thought it through?"
"Yes."
"Alright!" 德里克 said again, "Listen, Chu Mu, I can transfer the ranch to you. But you have to promise me one thing."
"德里克 Uncle, you say it."
"My request is simple, that is, after you take over the ranch, I want to work there."
"德里克..." Leo was about to say something when 翠西 pulled him back.
After hearing 德里克's request, Chu Mu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Of course, I welcome you, but you seem to need to persuade Leo first."
Chu Mu pointed to Leo who was frowning aside.
At this time, 翠西 whispered something in Leo's ear, and Leo nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I agree."
Hearing this, Chu Mu turned to 德里克 and said, "Then, it's a deal! 德里克!"
"Don't you want to hear the price?" 德里克 said jokingly.
Chu Mu raised his drink and smiled, "As the only employee of the new boss, your first job is to give your boss a good price."
"Oh!" 德里克 pretended to be shocked. "Chu Mu, you black-hearted capitalist!"
"Haha! Of course, and I believe 德里克 won't cheat me."
"Of course!" 德里克 stood up, holding his wine glass, and said happily, "Come on! To my new boss, cheers!"
Chu Mu echoed, "To my new ranch! Cheers!"
"Hahahaha!!"
Tonight, was destined to be filled with joy!
...
The next morning, Chu Mu and 德里克 got up early.
Today, Chu Mu and 德里克 were going to return to the ranch to do some handover.
But Leo had work, so 德里克's primary task was to drive his old pickup truck and take Chu Mu back to the ranch.
Watching 德里克 and Chu Mu leave, Leo felt that 翠西 was right.
Yesterday, 翠西 told Leo that they could take this opportunity to let 德里克 help Chu Mu for a month or two, then let 德里克 gradually adapt to a new life.
After Chu Mu got on track, they could find many reasons to bring 德里克 back.
Because the ranch had already been sold, and it was 德里克 himself who agreed to sell it.
This time, Leo and 翠西 were on another level.
But Chu Mu didn't think too much.
He just knew that this was 德里克's way of helping him, and after helping him sort things out at the ranch, he would choose to leave. This was 德里克's chance to thank him. As for the old man's stubbornness, Chu Mu didn't say anything, at least he could help Leo watch over 德里克.
In the pickup truck, when Little Diamond knew they were going back to that ranch, he became exceptionally happy.
Chu Mu, of course, knew why. Because it wasn't too far from Little Diamond's cave.
Rounding it up, Little Diamond felt like he never left his tribe, and he could be with the person he liked, so he was very happy all the way.
And all the way, 德里克 was telling Chu Mu about some relevant details.
"Our ranch is located in Dangbo Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Ning Shui City. Although it's a town, it's very large, because Dangbo Town is mainly a town with family-run ranches. But because of that, the distance between each household is quite far."
"Where we are going now is the center of Dangbo Town, which is also the place where the townspeople exchange information. Of course, the things there are also very complete, because it's close to the city."
德里克 stopped the pickup truck, then pointed to the building behind and said, "This is the Dangbo Town office. Our property transaction needs to be done here."
With that, 德里克 got out of the car and motioned for Chu Mu to follow him.
"Let's go, Little Diamond, we're about to have a home." Chu Mu hugged Little Diamond with anticipation, following 德里克 into the town office.
"Zhuan'er... Zhuan'er..."
Soon, the two came out. And in Chu Mu's hand was a property transaction certificate.
"Let's go, Chu Mu. We have to go back to the ranch first to tidy up, then confirm some things, we have a lot to do today."
Today, Chu Mu kept listening to 德里克 talk.
After all, as a novice ranch owner, Chu Mu still had a lot to learn, and with 德里克's help, he was really helped a lot.
The pickup truck slowly drove into the living area of the ranch and stopped.
Being back here again, Chu Mu suddenly felt different.
Maybe it was an anticipation for a new life.
"Chu Mu Ranch Owner, it sounds pretty good!" Chu Mu chuckled to himself.
Then, carrying his backpack, he walked back into the two-story ranch villa as the new owner.
