Chapter 143: Maureen is so poor
"Thank you so much, a few kind people, the little girl is really grateful." The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her eyes were red, and people looked at endless pity.
"A few well-wishers, although the little woman is very grateful for everyone's help, but the money is not enough at all......" The woman said this, and did not continue, but whimpered lowly.
When everyone listened, they couldn't bear it even more, how could such a beautiful woman be a liar? Besides, what about liars, but it's just a few copper plates.
"Girl, don't cry, I still have two copper plates here."
"I have a few more here."
"And me, and me!"
"Thank you...... Thank you! The woman said words of thanks, and the action of collecting money in her hand has not been idle.
Maureen shook her head after looking at it, she didn't need to look any further, from the woman's movements, she could already determine what kind of person she was.
Maureen was a little disappointed, she really wanted to help her just now, after all, no one knew the feeling of helplessness better than her, but she still overestimated the conscience of these people, maybe whether it was in the past life or in this life, there are always people who think that money is the most important thing!
No one can avoid this, after all, everyone thinks that money is important, but some are more serious, some are lighter.
Money is really important!
But isn't it too much to do this?
At this time, Maureen realized that the woman did not care about the person lying on the ground at all, although the person had died, but it was obvious that his body was very dirty, and there was an extremely subtle small movement just now, that is, the woman accidentally touched the old man, and immediately showed a disgusted and disgusted expression.
According to the woman, it was her father! But she actually showed such an expression, which is really chilling!
"Alas!" Maureen's face was full of disappointment.
"Let's go! There's nothing to see here, and it's really not a clever way to watch a liar act here! ”
"Hmmm......"
Maureen's good mood along the way was ruined by the woman. There is truth in the world, but there is also a sinister side. As long as there are people, there must be disputes, and where there are disputes, there will be conspiracy, which is inevitable everywhere, after all, everyone has their own thoughts, and this is the truth that everyone can hardly say!
"Okay, stop thinking about these unhappy things, I'll take you to the front for a walk."
"It's fine." That's right, why should you ruin your mood because of such a thing, it's not worth it at all.
Except for the woman's incident, Maureen and the others have not experienced any other bad things.
Along the way, they also saw a lot of ancient people's customs and habits, and they all gained a lot of knowledge.
"What a! If you don't learn a little bit of good things, you will know some deceptive tricks! Selling yourself to bury your father? Thanks to what you said, our father is alive and well! You () man! ”
"What are you scolding! If I hadn't run this home, this home would have been ruined a long time ago! What's wrong with me selling my body to bury my father, is there anything wrong? If it weren't for the money I paid to bury my father, you wouldn't have starved to death a long time ago! ”
"You, you, you! You are still polite, our father is alive and well, if he knows this, he will be angry with you if he doesn't live! The girl was furious and said angrily.
"Humph! So what! It's better to be angry, save only eating and not working! The woman said disdainfully.
This little sister's temper has really become more and more rude recently, everything in the family depends on her, she even blames herself, she doesn't want to think about it, if it weren't for her, would she still survive? I didn't starve to death sooner!
Say she lacks morality? But she didn't want to think about it, could she have a better way besides this way?
She was also forced, she was helpless! She had no other way!
The woman glared at her resentfully: "If you figure it out, go back quickly!" Don't be embarrassed here, if our dad asks, you'll say I'm going to work! ”
"Phew! What do you want to understand, our father will not forgive you! The girl's whole face flushed with anger.
"Humph! All right! Then you just go and say, see if our father believes in you, or believes me, you are just a casual eater at home, if I really want to leave this home, can you still survive? Will our dad survive?! ”
"You...... I ...... "The girl was a little aggrieved, but it is undeniable that what she said was the truth, if she said this, I am afraid that it is still a problem for her father to believe her, and even if she believes, there is only one sister in the family, and her father will definitely not let her sister go." If there was only one choice between the two of them, it would definitely not be her.
Mo Lin and Senior Brother Feng Lan stared at each other with wide eyes, they didn't expect her to meet that woman again, and it was obvious that that woman not only cheated everyone out of money, but more importantly, she went to cheat money and her family didn't know about it.
"No, you have to get the money back!" Although they are very reluctant to give up this money, it is not their own, and they can't ask for it.
"Humph! Return? You're not in the water, are you? Besides, the money is not yours, it's all mine, why do you want me to return it! ”
"No, absolutely not!" The girl's eyes were red, but she was helpless.
The young girl is still kind in her heart, and she can't bear to deceive others.
Maureen watched this play quietly, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for that girl, it can be regarded as a sadness to be born in such a family! However, being able to be born in such a family, but maintaining a kind heart, can be regarded as out of the mud and unstained!
"Do you want to care?" Senior Brother Feng Lan saw that Mo Lin had been listening to their conversation, so he asked out loud.
"I didn't want to take care of it, but that girl still has some conscience, and now she can't do it."
"Well, then use ordinary methods to manage it, this is also one of the contents of the trial!" Maureen nodded, she could do it without spells.
The cultivator went down the mountain to test in order to enhance her abilities in all aspects, and she had to overcome this layer of difficulties!
But naturally she couldn't just rush over and solve these things, she needed to think carefully and find a perfect way.
"No! Tomorrow Daddy will come to you, you have been working outside for many days, he has never known the specific location of your work, if he goes and finds you doing these things outside, then you must not be! You can't do this kind of thing anymore! ”
She really doesn't have a good impression of this sister at all, when she was young, she didn't do her job all day long, and she was bent on going out, but when it was time to go out, she wanted to stay at home all day long.
And she has already been promised to others, and now people want her to stay in the boudoir, just wait for her to marry at the age of fifteen, and she is not allowed to come out to work, otherwise, how can she be used to work!
"It's not up to me to take care of it, anyway, you find a way to drag your father, as for what you use, it's up to you, you don't want anything to happen to him, right?" The woman glanced at her sister, and the smile on her lips became more and more disdainful.
It's only this sister who is stupidly waiting for this home! What an idiot!
"You!" The girl watched the woman turn around and leave without hesitation, and there was some irritation.
"I'm not going to do this kind of thing! Just wait and see! I won't say it today, I won't say it tomorrow, and he will know the day after tomorrow! Sister, I'm doing this for your good, don't blame me! I won't let you go astray again! ”
Maureen smiled slightly, perhaps, there is a way!
"Let's go, it's not too early, should we find a place to stay first?"
"Well, I remember that there were quite a few restaurants when I came."
When Maureen heard the word restaurant, she suddenly remembered a very serious problem.
"That, Senior Brother Fenglan, how much money did you bring?" If it weren't much, they would live in a poor restaurant, and anyway, their cultivators wouldn't need to sleep at night, just meditate and cultivate.
And when it comes to money, the money she brings is very small, basically all change, and the scattered ones should add up to one or two gold.
Although one tael of gold is enough for ordinary people to spend for several years, even some poor people spend less than one tael of gold in their lifetime.
However, they are not ordinary people, they are cultivators, and they have many, many tasks in this downhill trial, and among those tasks, there must be no shortage of them, and there are those who need to use money.
And if you really need money, I'm afraid it's not something that can be bought with a tael of gold, but tens of thousands of taels of gold.
However, the pity is that their cultivators are not as rich as outsiders say, and even they only send a few copper plates every month, after all, cultivators don't need money at all, most of them trade with spirit stones, and the money becomes waste in their hands, but in the world of ordinary people, those so-called things that are treasures in the eyes of cultivators are simply worthless in their eyes.
"Huh? Maureen, didn't you bring any money? Of course Feng Lan brought it, but when she saw her like this, she suddenly wanted to tease her.
As soon as Maureen heard him say this, she immediately became a little worried: "I only brought one or two gold, what about you?" "But don't bring less than her, if that's the case, then they're probably doomed to never finish the task for the rest of their lives.
"Huh? What should I do, I don't have very much with me! Senior Brother Feng Lan pretended to be flustered
"Huh? That...... Then we won't stay at the inn, just find a place to rest for the night! After all, we are cultivators, and ordinary people can't do anything to us at all. ”
Seeing Mo Lin's panicked face, Senior Brother Feng Lan finally couldn't help it, and burst out laughing: "Mo Lin, you are really cute. ”
Maureen blushed, knowing that he was playing with himself, and he was not annoyed, but asked anxiously, "That...... So how much money did you bring, in this world, money is very important, and you can't do anything without money! ”
"No more, no less, that's all!" Senior Brother Feng Lan stretched out his finger and put the number five.
"500 taels of gold?" Maureen guessed.
It's only 500 taels of gold, which is indeed a lot, but if she really wants to buy those rare and exotic herbs, is it really enough, she is not sure.
"No, no, no, of course it's not only 500 taels of gold, guess again!"
"Is it 500,000 taels of gold?" Maureen asked incredulously, is he so rich?
Maureen thought she would nod her head and tell herself yes, but unexpectedly, she still shook her head and said a number softly: "It's five million taels." ”
Maureen's eyes widened, and her face was full of incredulity, oh my God, why is he so rich, he is simply poor in comparison! The poor can't be poorer anymore, people have five million taels of their hands, and she, after finding all the body, there are only one or two, is this the gap, but the gap is a little too big!
"You...... Where do you get all that money? "According to him, it is really impossible to reach that number with those in the sect alone! So where did his money come from, it can't come out of thin air, it's simply impossible!
"Of course I earned it, but as for how I earned it, do you want to know?"
"No, I'm just asking!"
"Hmph, then, rich man, in the future, the two of us will depend on you for our lives, don't expect me, a person with only one or two gold in his body, to be able to afford it!" Maureen said angrily.
Really, she doesn't even know what she's angry about, she will be anxious if he doesn't have money, and she feels angry when he has money.
What an awkward person......
"Alright, let's find an inn to stay in first!"
"Well, of course! Of course, you have to find a better inn! ”
In fact, Maureen's words are just lip service, she is reluctant to let her find a better inn, after all, although it is not her money, but the money is always spent a little less, it is easy to spend money, it is difficult to make money, and the money is spent unconsciously, plus they have just come out, and they don't know how long they will stay in this place, so it is better to save money.
"Forget it, I won't force you, just live in an ordinary inn!" Maureen stretched out her hand and pointed to a nearby inn.
"It's a good place, just stay here." The location is very good, and the price is not too expensive, it is medium, and it is indeed a good choice to live here.
"Okay, just listen to you, let's stay for three days."
"Hmm." From today onwards, her trial life has officially begun, so let's start working today!
She believed that no difficulty could really stump her, and then again, she didn't know where her confidence came from, but she believed in herself.
As the saying goes, self-confidence is half the battle. (To be continued.) )
