163.Chapter 163
Mu Lingluo had thought about guarding against the Cheng family at the beginning, but she privately thought that the Cheng family's top priority was to get Cheng Shouquan out. And now that the county commander Guo Wenming is pretending to be clear of himself, the Cheng family is still so unscrupulous, obviously not taking Guo Wen in his eyes.
If you are smart, you should know that it is best to keep a low profile now, but the Cheng family did the opposite, continued to be arrogant, and properly regarded themselves as a leading bird.
Mu Lingluo frowned, the most important thing now is how to let the Cheng family take care of themselves, so that they can't come to her for trouble.
Mu Lingluo never cared much about power because of her indifferent temperament, but now she began to feel that sometimes power is really a good thing. At least, if she had enough ability now, she wouldn't have to be afraid of the Cheng family coming to make trouble.
Mu Shilang listened to Mu Chanjuan talk about the grievances with the Cheng family in detail, and his heart was full of guilt at this time, and he hurriedly said: "Ah Luo, don't worry, no matter how rich and wealthy the Cheng family is, can they still ignore the royal law?" If they come again, I will find the village chief and Li Zheng to go to the county seat to find the county lord for justice for you. ”
Mu Lingluo was grateful for his good intentions, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Fourth Uncle, I'm afraid that after this time, the Cheng family should also know that we are a thorn, and they will not come to train us in a short period of time." By the way, has the fourth uncle been free lately? The three acres of dry land behind me are going to be reclaimed and planted, I don't know when you will come over to help me? ”
When Mu Shilang heard this, he hurriedly said: "The work at home is almost busy, and I was about to ask, when can you start here." In that case, I'll come and turn over the floor tomorrow! Three acres of land with me and Feng Xiang are working together, and almost three days are enough. ”
Mu Shilang and Feng Xiang are both first-class workers in the village, and they can bear hardships and stand hard work, and many people are willing to work with them as au pairs during the harvest season.
Mu Lingluo naturally nodded yes, and left Mu Shilang to eat, he said that he had something to do at home, and he had to go back to work.
Mu Lingluo couldn't stop it, and only asked: "Fourth uncle, I'm about to start preparing for the banquet recently, you go back and talk to the fourth aunt today, and let her bring Xiaoyu and them to help tomorrow." ”
Mu Shilang frowned, "But Xiaoyu and they are young, so they can't help at all, maybe they will make trouble when they turn back!" And you have a lot of things at home, so don't be spoiled by them. ”
"Fourth uncle, they are my cousins, where did the trouble come from. And leave them at home, grandma and they won't take care of it, I also heard about it last time. When they came to my house, it was hard to say anything else, at least they could have a full meal. They are still young, and they can't continue to be malnourished like this. Mu Lingluo remembered the last time he saw the skinny Mu Yan, and couldn't help but say a few more words.
When Mu Shilang heard this, his heart was sour, he squeezed the hoe in his hand, pursed his lips, and his eyes were cloudy tears, "It's all my father who is useless...... They suffer with me. ”
"Fourth uncle, what are you talking about! Xiaoyan, they won't blame you. However, Fourth Uncle, I have some things that I don't know if I should say or not. Mu Lingluo thought for a while and said.
"Ah Luo, you are also a person who has a family now, if you have anything to say, just talk to the fourth uncle, they are all a family, where do you come from, you should not talk about it." Mu Shilang looked away and wiped the moist corners of his eyes.
"Fourth uncle, grandma, she prefers the big room and the third room, and the seventh uncle, and the attitude towards the fourth room has always been there. We've been kicked out now, so let's not talk about that. Just one sentence, they are also grandchildren, why are Xiaoyan and Xiaoyu so miserable, they can't even eat a full meal, and they are bullied to the point of cowardice. I specially asked them to come to my house to eat last time, and they didn't even dare to come to me. Mu Lingluo said, and he was also angry, "On the other hand, the big room and the third room, Mu Chengzhi, Mu Xiang raised a few white and chubby, and Cuihua can still dress herself up." Such differential treatment is too much. ”
Mu Shilang lowered his eyes and said: "This has always been like this, I know that my mother loves her eldest brother more, but no matter what, they are all my father and mother's brothers, it doesn't matter if I work harder, anyway, it's all for the sake of a better life at home." It is also a matter of course to honor their parents, as for Xiaoyu, they can't do things, so their mother asks them to eat less. ”
Mu Lingluo was a little speechless about Mu Shilang's foolishness, she pressed her forehead, "Fourth uncle, do you understand what I said at the beginning?" Now it is not a matter of filial piety, and I also know that it is natural to honor elders, but it is not foolishness and loyalty. Let's take a look, Mu Yu Muyan is so hungry and thin now, her hair is yellow, her face is yellow and her muscles are thin, and compared to the children in other rooms, they are also not working, why can a few of them be well fed and clothed. Also, you have worked diligently for this family all these years, and the fourth aunt has no complaints, but how many people in the family are polite to you? They all took it for granted, and even looked down on Mu Yu and them because of this, is it interesting to live like this? Fourth uncle, you should think about Mu Yu and break up. After the separation, you will still be able to fulfill your filial piety to your grandparents and grandparents. ”
The word separation blurted out, Mu Shilang was shocked, he raised his eyes and looked at Mu Lingluo in disbelief, his eyes were slightly red, as if he didn't know Mu Lingluo, "Ah Luo, what are you talking about?" Divide the family, what kind of family? My father and mother are still alive, if I propose to divide the family at this time, wouldn't it be worse than a beast? This is a great unfilial piety. Ah Luo, don't say this again in the future, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first. Come back tomorrow to help! ”
After that, Mu Shilang ran away with his hoe as if there was a flood beast behind him.
Aunt Lei had already returned to the kitchen, and Mu Chanjuan was also talking with her, only to hear Mu Lingluo persuade Mu Shilang to split up, and she also pulled Mu Lingluo by the hand.
At this time, seeing that Mu Shilang was really frightened and ran away, she said angrily: "Ah Luo, don't tell the fourth uncle this in the future, the fourth uncle is an elm pimple, full of brotherhood every day, filial piety to his parents, it's not that he is bad, it's just that he is too wooden." If your words today are spread out, it is better to sow discord and instigate the fourth uncle to be unfilial, how can you gain a foothold in the future? ”
Mu Lingluo shook his head and sighed: "It's that I'm in a hurry." It's just that I look at Xiao Yan and they are really pitiful, if the fourth uncle doesn't turn his head around again, Xiao Yan and they are really hungry in the future, I'm afraid they will regret it. Moreover, you don't know that the Mu family is now a bloodsucking locust, and the fourth uncle is not yet in the age of standing, but his back is so tired that he is hunched. The fourth uncle has a good heart and a good temperament, I really can't bear to see their family live so badly. ”
