Chapter 48: I don't want to be rich
Compared to the quiet and sad atmosphere here. Mu Zhen and He Laosan, the little couple, are quite warm.
I'm afraid that Muzhen can't see the road clearly and fall. He Laosan took Mu Zhen's hand at the same time. Holding a torch on one side. It's been so long. It was the first time that the two had been so close in a place other than the bed.
Thinking of the day, when He Laosan lost a penny of this rich man Zhao. That domineering action. Mu Zhen's admiration rose straight up." Messire. Have you ever practiced martial arts before?"
The strength of the average person. The hand strength is not so precise. If you haven't practiced it. How could it be like He Laosan. A single copper coin. You can put it on the table.
For Mu Zhen's words. He Laosan thought seriously for a moment before saying, "I don't know. I don't have an impression in my head."
Hear He Laosan's words. Mu Zhen suddenly remembered. Once, when he inadvertently tested the Song family. Song's attitude is very suspicious.
"Xianggong. I sue you for one thing. Don't be sad. Our current mother. Probably not your own mother."
"Zhenzhen is talking about the Song family. I guessed it a long time ago."
Forehead. Mu Zhen couldn't figure out what kind of feelings He Laosan had for the Song family. That's why it's called 'our current mother'.
"I guessed it. When." He had always felt that He Laosan's attitude towards the Song family was strange. I didn't expect him to think of this layer.
"Probably after you came to your senses from their injuries. We didn't have a good relationship before. I also sued you. My head goes blank all the time. I don't think much about these things. Later you slowly infected me. It gives me hope for the days of rambling and purpose. I'm slowly starting to pay attention to these things."
Actually for this write-up. Mu Zhen remembered that He Laosan had told her. Just last time. His feelings weren't as strong as they were this time. It's like a pedestrian lost in the desert. Can't find the direction of the road. So confused and helpless.
Mu Zhen pinched He Laosan's hand and couldn't help but tighten. Softly said, "It's okay. Isn't there still me and Yiqing. If you can't remember, forget it. Wait until we escape from the clutches of the upper room. Just live your own little life."
Said here. Mu Zhen couldn't help but think of the Qi family. Their purpose is obvious. But that kind of life is not what Mu Zhen wants.
Frowning. Said: "Xianggong. What do you say Qi Clan will do with them?"
"Chastity refers to. They want us to get revenge on them." As long as there is no Song and He Mingzhong present. He Laosan's thinking is generally relatively sober. And it's smart.
"Hmm. But. I want to help them get revenge. You have to have the strength to confront the rich man Zhao and even the mayor. But that's not what I want."
"Then what kind of life does Zhenzhen want?" He Laosan seemed to have only listened to the second half of Mu Zhen's words.
"Willow flowers deep alleys noon rooster crow. Mulberry leaves are new and green are not ready. Nothing to do to sleep. Full of windows and sunny days to see silkworms. Plum golden apricot fat. Wheat flowers, snow cauliflower, sparse flowers. The sunset fence is long and unattended. Only dragonflies and butterflies fly. Chrysanthemum beads dripping red. The two stalks correspond to the words of Sha Cong. Insect silk exhausted yellow sunflower leaves. Lonely calendar high flowers side evening breeze. Let go of the boat and look at the snowy mountains. The wind is cold, the wind is condensed at night. Sit and listen to a broken artemisia pearl. I didn't know that the surface of the lake was already frozen. What do you think. Am I too demanding?"
This is a poem in Fan Cheng's pastoral miscellaneous when he was a senior in college. Mu Zhen has been hot from the bottom, don't yearn for the casual and leisurely days here. Remember when I was a kid. I was asked by the teacher what I wanted to do in the future. She replied that she wanted to go back to her hometown to farm. But I was laughed at by everyone.
"Zhenzhen is really beautiful. I can make such elegant poems." He Laosan once again answered the question.
"I didn't make this poem. It's me who carries someone else."
"Oh. I don't know which genius wrote the poem. Zhenzhen said to hear it. I also admire the talent of some masters."
"Oh. He. He's gone. Actually, it's not a master. So you don't know when you say it."
Mu Zhen was distracted just now. So she didn't find that He Laosan asked her this sentence is a flash of light in her eyes. And she's playing haha. The deep meaning in He Laosan's eyes.
"Oh. Is it. That chastity wanted to say that one day in suing me. Maybe I know this master."
Mu Zhen always felt that He Laosan's flowers had a deep meaning. But worry about Qi and their business. Mu Zhen didn't think about it. He continued to ask, "Xianggong, what do you think of the Qi family's matter. I would like to give you an explanation."
"The world says, 'Money makes a devil grind. I want to be with the wisdom of chastity. It's not hard to be a rich businessman. Why don't you want to make a lot of money?" He Laosan still didn't answer Mu Zhen's question. Keep asking.
For He Laosan's words. Mu Zhen didn't want to. Said: "There is not much hatred for money. Money is harmful to oneself. You look at the affairs of your aunt's family. If it weren't for someone else who was greedy for their money. It's not going to ruin this family."
Mu Zhen saw that she had asked He Laosan so many times. I didn't get the answer I was looking for. Instead, he kept asking himself. Quite annoyed, he asked, "Does Xianggong yearn for that kind of old man's life. When the time comes, the beautiful concubines will surround you. Isn't it just forgetting about my wife of the chaff?"
He Laosan smiled sullenly. Rather helplessly, he replied, "I've seen the chastity of the weird elves. I have seen the wise and wise chastity. Tonight the chastity of this scoundrel. It's the first time I've seen you. The husband just wants to know about the ambition of the lady. How did it become the life of a rich man?"
Mu Zhen was half teased by He Laosan. Half-helpless tone. Said a little blushing. I've been with this guy for a long time. The more abnormal they are. Why are you still spoiled now?
He Laosan also knew that Mu Zhen was a little shy by herself. Don't wait for her to ask again. He answered, "Save them." It's love. It's your act of kindness. This is compared to those who sit on the sidelines. You're already their benefactor. No matter what they think. You just have to stick to your own. Because you don't owe them anything. As long as you don't want to. There's no one to instruct you."
He Laosan's words. Another Muzhen has a feeling of sudden enlightenment. Yes. That's the point I've been bothered by. She only thought about what the Qi clan would think. But they forgot what they thought and what their original intentions were.
Take your current abilities. Help them help this far. It's already the end of benevolence. Habitual giving. It will only cause distress and harm to yourself.
This reminded her of a little story she had seen in her previous life: a man met a beggar on the road. He saw that the beggar was very pitiful. Every time you pass by there. Give the beggar ten dollars. Someday. He only had ten dollars on him. His girlfriend asked him to help with the shopping again. So he later gave the beggar five pieces. When the beggar saw that there was only five dollars. I asked him, 'Why is there only five pieces today?' The guy said, 'Five more dollars to buy for my girlfriend.' An unbelievable scene appeared. I saw the beggar slap the man in the face. Roared, '. Dare to take my money and give it to others.'
Mu Zhen told this story to He Laosan. He Laosan continued: "So. You have to learn to say no. Blindly giving. It will only make others accustomed to your goodness. And forget that he owes you all this."
With He Laosan's enlightenment. Mu Zhen suddenly brightened. Early the next morning. Mu Zhen and He Laosan caught up with a small bun.
Qi's they saw He Laosan and Mu Zhen's dew-soaked trouser legs. If you say you don't move, that's a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs.
Let's be honest. From the death of Zhao Shixiong. No one has ever been so nice to them anymore. Everything is done in every detail.
looked at He Laosan carrying that big basket of things. Qi kept saying words of thanks. I almost knelt down and kowtowed to thank you.
"Aunt Qi. Don't you do that. We're just doing our part. Again. We're only helping you temporarily. It's up to you."
Mu Zhen's words made Qi slightly stunned. asked, "What does Zhen Niang mean by this?"
Mu Zhen saw Qi's expression. I knew I was making the right decision. Said directly: "I know you want to take revenge on our husband and wife. But. We're people with no ambitions. Just want to start a small business. Live a peaceful life. It's enough to eat and drink without worrying."
Qi Shi hurriedly said: "Zhen Niang. I can't be wrong about people. You husband and wife are obviously not in the pool. Why settle for the status quo?"
Mu Zhen smiled and said, "Poverty is much more comfortable. Wealth and troubles. We just want to live this little laid-back life."
"But ......"
"Mother. Don't say any more." The Qi clan wanted to persuade Mu Zhen again. But her own son stopped her.
Zhao Mingzhe leaned against the quilt. looked at Mu Zhen sincerely and said, "Madam. My mother is also revengeful. Please don't take it to heart. What do you want to do. Our family will follow you. No more interference."
Zhao Mingzhe's humble and humble words made Qi slightly stunned. Instantly, I seemed to understand something. He bowed his head and said to Mu Zhen: "Madame, forgive me. The old woman and I were confused for a moment. If something happens to you. Please don't take it to heart yet.
Qi is really a little forgetful. Just because Mu Zhen they help themselves. Although holding the deed of sale of their mother and son. But he still took good care of them. Without the slightest contempt.
Because of this. to make her forget. Stand in front of yourself. is the head of his own house. He is nothing but a servant. What qualifications do you have to dictate to the affairs of the master's house?
If it's in a well-behaved home. I was so reckless just now. I'm afraid I'm going to be punished a long time ago. She couldn't hold her breath like that. It's just a drag on my son. How can I help him?
Look at the humble attitude of this mother and son. Mu Zhen is really a little unaccustomed. "That's not what I meant. Let's call it the same as before. It's just for what you say. We are really not interested. We just want to live our little life well. It's just plain."
This time, neither Qi nor Zhao Mingzhe were saying anything. It's all Mu Zhen who said. And they promised nothing. The only thing that's not the same. It doesn't matter what Mu Zhen decides. They all stopped interjecting.
