Mu Hongmei targeted her father's weakness, and the trick she used really worked.

Mu Zhengfang now just thinks that he doesn't have to worry about wine money every day in the future, and he is happy in his heart.

Even today, Mu Hongmei failed to prepare hot dishes and hot meals after he got up 'on time', and she didn't beat her up as usual.

Instead, he sat comfortably in front of the warm stove hole, and rolled the welding tobacco leaves that he had brought from Yang Laoliu's house yesterday without paying attention to it.

Occasionally raising his eyelids and looking at Mu Hongmei, who was stepping on a small stool and frying vegetables by the stove, he would still show that kind of smile that seemed to be a little proud, and seemed to be gratified, and his little eyes narrowed into a slit.

As everyone knows, Mu Hongmei was frightened by his abnormal attitude, and at the same time, she originally thought that she had already seen it clearly and looked down on it, and she no longer dared to hope for the slightest bit of fatherly love in the depths of her heart, but she couldn't help but feel a little sour and helpless because of the obviously sincere smile on his face at this time.

After all, although Mu Zhengfang often laughs and often smiles at outsiders, whether it is the more than 20 years that father and daughter have been together in her previous life, or in the two days since she was reborn, Mu Hongmei has never seen her father smile at her once.

Even if it's just once!

But neither she nor her younger brother, nor her mother, who now only exists in her memory, has never gotten it

There are too many sad pasts buried deep in the memory, which makes Mu Hongmei's expression more and more gloomy.

Maybe it's because Mu Hongmei is the kind of woman who is born with a kind heart and a simple mind, but she values family affection very much.

Therefore, even if she already understood what kind of person her father was in her previous life, whether it was in the more than 20 years that she was disappointed again and again when her father and daughter got along in her previous life, or the moment when she knew that she was reborn as a child, she was unconsciously longing for family affection and the love given by her parents.

In her previous life, when she longed for it but never got it, Mu Hongmei would also have grievances in her heart, but because of the indelible kindness in her bones, she not only did not take revenge and hurt others because of this, but instead did her best to give what she longed for but never been able to get to her relatives.

Therefore, in the previous life, for the only younger brother Mu Hongbing, Mu Hongmei was almost doting and cared for him to grow up.

He was never willing to suffer even a little more. If there are any good things, she keeps them all for him. She helped him block when he was beaten. She did her best to satisfy whatever he wanted.

In such a predicament, for the sake of Mu Hongbing's future, Mu Hongmei got up early every day to take care of her own few acres of land, either went up to the mountains to pick mountain goods, or went down to the river to fish and touch shrimp to save money to send Mu Hongbing to study.

But in the end, Mu Hongbing, who had a new Chinese characterization, when he grew up, although he had ink in his stomach, a broader vision, and a smart mind, he became a selfish, vain, and extremely irresponsible person.

Mu Hongbing has always been aware of the family's predicament, knowing that the so-called home will only become a burden to himself, so he graduated from junior high school and went to work in other places for less than two years.

But fortunately, although the daughter of that family is three years older than Mu Hongbing, she is good in appearance and temperament.

The key thing is that the girl is still Mu Hongbing's co-worker in the same factory, and she first valued the handsome Mu Hongbing, which led to the appearance of the introducer.

And Mu Hongbing naturally knew each other, but he was self-aware, and he never dared to imagine that there would be a local girl who could take a fancy to a foreigner like him from a poor country.

In this way, this marriage can be regarded as a waterway.

At that time, because he didn't want his wife's relatives and friends to know about his family's downfall, Mu Hongbing, who had always taken face very seriously, not only did not tell Mu Hongmei the news that he was going to get married, but even said to the woman's family that he had no relatives in his family.

As soon as the woman's parents heard that this was the case in the new son-in-law's house, they had nothing to say, because although their daughter had reached the age of marriage, Mu Hongbing, who was four years younger, would have to reach the legal age of marriage in two or three years, so the woman's family only invited relatives and friends from home, and after a lively wedding banquet, the wedding was completed.

I don't know if Mu Hongbing is because he has been influenced by his father since he was a child, or maybe because in the more than ten years since Mu Hongbing was a child, Mu Hongmei has never taught or asked him to pay, let alone ask him to return.

So at that time, Mu Hongbing never felt that there was anything wrong with him throwing that drunkard father and messy home to Mu Hongmei.

He only knew that after leaving that home, he would be able to live a good life in the future.

If there is anything to say, it is that he did not inform his sister who raised him of his marriage, which made Mu Hongbing feel a little weak.

But because of the lack of heart that exists, since getting married, Mu Hongbing, who had returned to his hometown for ten days and a half on annual leave, not only did he dare not go home for the New Year, but he didn't even dare to write one or two letters a year.

It wasn't until more than two years later that Mu Hongmei, who had been worried about her younger brother's safety, finally met Mu Hongbing, who had changed factories and worked at a different factory, according to the address when Mu Hongbing sent the last letter back.

It was only then that she knew that her only younger brother had become someone else's inverted son-in-law.

The funny thing is that Mu Hongbing and his wife were working in the same factory at that time, and when Mu Hongbing's wife saw Mu Hongmei, a country girl who was looking for her own man, she found the factory girl, because she didn't understand the situation for a while, she almost rushed up to fight with Mu Hongmei.

In the end, after figuring out the situation, I won't say what kind of taste the woman has in her heart, but Mu Hongmei, who has always been optimistic, kind, and simple-minded, but not stupid, was really heartbroken by her only brother at that time.

Because before this, Mu Hongmei never thought that she = the only younger brother who had depended on her since she was a child, would eventually abandon her and their home in such a way.

This is more than losing most of her life under her father's abuse, and it is also unbearable for Mu Hongmei.

If it weren't for the perseverance that her character had already been sharpened to be very comparable, maybe Mu Hongmei would have been crushed by this incident at that time.

In the end, after learning that her younger brother was doing well and had become a family, Mu Hongmei, who was very eye-catching, didn't even look at Mu Hongbing's 'in-laws', and returned to her hometown gloomily.

I don't know how Mu Hongbing then explained to his wife's family that there was a sister in his hometown, anyway, in the following years, Mu Hongbing never returned to his hometown to see Mu Hongmei.

Even a few years later, when Mu Zhengfang died, Mu Hongmei went to the phone, but Mu Hongbing did not reply.

Later, until Mu Hongmei threw herself into the water and died for nearly 20 years, Mu Hongbing never went back to his hometown to visit Mu Hongmei, except for occasionally remembering to write a few letters to Mu Hongmei and making a few phone calls.

However, when Mu Hongmei heard that Mu Hongbing's child was born, she went to see Mu Hongbing and her newborn nephew and niece twice.

After all, for Mu Hongmei, who has always longed for family affection, although Mu Hongbing's approach will make her sad and disappointed, in her heart, he has always been her only brother and her relative.

However, fortunately, a few years after Mu Hongbing got married, when Mu Hongmei was also discussed as an old girl by the villagers at the age of 24, she was introduced to find a man from other places to be her son-in-law at home, which can be regarded as forming her own small family.

Since then, although Mu Hongmei still does not forget to care about her younger brother Mu Hongbing, who married away from home, she also has a husband who can be cared for as a relative.

Subsequently, when her daughter was born, she began to give her only daughter all the maternal love that she had not experienced much in her childhood, but which she had never forgotten.

But the sad thing is that the lack of father's love and mother's love when he was a child, and he grew up in that environment, and he didn't study for a day at all, so whether it was raising his younger brother Mu Hongbing back then, or later educating his daughter, Mu Hongmei made a mistake of principle for their education method that can only be described as doting.

What's even more sad is that Mu Hongmei did not learn from Mu Hongbing's mistakes, but thought that it was her young self who did not care enough for her younger brother at that time, which caused the later ending.

Therefore, Mu Hongmei's love for her daughter is more doting than when she treated her own brother. Or an unintentional drowning.

But Mu Hongmei at that time didn't notice this at all.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, just because I am in this mountain.

It is indeed very appropriate to use this poem as a metaphor for Mu Hongmei's situation at that time. After all, she is just an illiterate mother who wants to give all the love she has not received since she was a child to her younger brother and her daughter.

It wasn't until she was in the asylum by accident before she died, staying in the middle of a group of madmen every day, idly recalling the past, that she slowly woke up little by little.

However, it was too late.

These are all old things from Mu Hongmei's previous life, which could not have been mentioned, but it is precisely because of these old things that she faces her only younger brother in this life, and the education of the two children she gave birth to later, will have a different way due to her later awakening.

It is said that knowing mistakes can be changed, and good is great.

But her character of longing for family affection and attaching importance to family affection seems to have existed in the bone marrow from birth, and it is not something that can be changed at all.

Even if he has lived for most of his life, knowing that Mu Zhengfang will not change until he dies, Wang should have the slightest hope for him. But now, in the face of an unscrupulous father like Mu Zhengfang, who is not worthy of being a father, there is still an uncontrollable contradiction between reason and emotion.

"Babble."

Just when Mu Hongmei fell into the contradiction of reminiscence, Mu Hongbing, who had been following her closely like a little tail, whispered twice in her small mouth at this time and pulled her trouser legs.

Mu Hongmei was a little distracted stir-frying the garlic sprouts in the pot back to the pot meat, and was pulled by Mu Hongbing like this, and she was busy retracting her mind, suppressing the gloom that still existed in her heart because she remembered the past.

"What's wrong? Do you want to pee? Mu Hongmei put away the thoughts that should no longer exist, lowered her head and asked Mu Hongbing, who had already hugged her calf.

Originally, Mu Hongmei was only a little girl less than six years old, but at this time, in order to facilitate stir-frying, she was standing on a small stool with a height of thirty or forty centimeters, so Mu Hongbing, who was only more than two years old, came up and hugged her, and it was naturally her calves, not her thighs.

"Babbling" Mu Hongbing was a burst of divine language that mortals couldn't understand, and when he babbled, the two little short legs kept rubbing on the ground, and the little face looked aggrieved and frightened, and pointed to the direction where Mu Zhengfang was sitting in front of the stove.

Mu Hongmei was still a little puzzled at first, but when she saw his actions and noticed that there was a thin layer of sweat on his small forehead in the early spring that had just passed the old year, she instantly understood what he wanted to express.

He's been standing for too long, he's tired, and he wants a place to sit. But in front of the warm hearth, now sat his father, who would beat him and make him afraid.

Perhaps, this is not what Mu Hongbing really wants to express, but Mu Hongmei understands it this way.

At such an understanding moment, Mu Hongmei, who has always been resolute, couldn't help but feel the urge to cry in an instant.

glanced at Mu Zhengfang, who was roasting the stove fire to keep warm while smoking dry tobacco, but he was still unhurried and just rolled a piece of new tobacco in his hand, but he didn't even know how to add a handful of stove fire, Mu Hongmei was angry from her heart, and a mouthful of millet teeth was about to be crushed.

Where is this the appearance of a father! She was afraid that she had been kicked in the head by a donkey just now, but she would have so many emotions because she saw his malicious smile.

After a moment of silence in her heart, Mu Hongmei directly put the spatula in her hand on the edge of the pot, stepped off the small stool with one foot, and led Mu Hongbing, who was obviously a little afraid and reluctant, from behind the stove, and went to the stove hole.

"Dad, there is still a while to eat, you are tired of working so hard every day to support your family, why don't you go back to the house and rest first.

It just so happened that I asked the little soldier to sit here to add firewood to me, and it was time for this kid to learn to do something.

I'll call you in the house when the meal is on the table? ”

When any child says this to his father, he or she is clearly motivated by filial concern. But it never includes the Mu family.

At least Mu Hongmei was completely sarcastic when she said these words.

But when these words were heard in the ears of Mu Zhengfang of the person concerned, in addition to feeling a strange feeling in his heart, he didn't feel any sarcasm in it at all, but it sounded very useful.

"Hehe, who did you little girl learn this set of sycophant kung fu." Mu Zhengfang raised his two rather stylish thick eyebrows, and praised this with some curiosity.

I only feel that Mu Hongmei, the little girl, said today, which can be regarded as speaking to his heart.

After rolling his eyes, he didn't wait for Mu Hongmei, who was just smiling cautiously, to answer, and he had a decision.

"Cheng, these days for your crazy mother's shit, you and I have been busy inside and out, and I am really tired, and now I am so tired that I can't help but feel sleepy when my ass can be next to the ground." Mu Zhengfang stood up while saying these words of meritorious service.

Knowing her father Mo Ruonu, she has been a father and daughter all her life in her previous life, Mu Hongmei knows his father's best understanding too well, and she dares to say this at this time, it is also because she knows this father too well.

If it was in her previous life, whenever Mu Hongmei succeeded in her scheme, she would either discriminate against Mu Zhengfang's staggeringly low EQ in her heart, or she would have some helpless joy.

But at this time, when Mu Zhengfang not only didn't care about the old relationship between husband and wife, without any sadness, but also complained about the trouble caused by her mother's death in front of her and her younger brother, Mu Hongmei couldn't describe her inner feelings in square words.

Suddenly, it seemed that she didn't know this father who was only tyrannical, cold-blooded, selfish, selfish, lazy, and low-eyed in her mind.

Because at this time, she suddenly felt that the meaning of these adjectives that she had learned after living most of her life was not enough to describe him.

And more, more apt adjectives, she won't.

But perhaps, he hasn't changed at all, it's just that she was too young to remember that he still has such a side?

When Mu Hongmei was a little stunned, Mu Zhengfang, who had walked to the door of the stove room, suddenly stopped.

"By the way, I'll say hello to you first.

When your crazy old lady died, Kong Mingzhong's old immortal brought the pot of wine, and was drunk by those in the village who finally seized the opportunity to come to Lao Tzu's house to eat and drink, and drank like a big eater.

However, before drinking this little wine at home, it will take about a week or so for you to stay honest at home and stay at home less in the sun, and take care of the head injury.

But if you wait for this little inventory at home to be drunk by Lao Tzu, and you can't earn back the two catties of wine money you promised Lao Tzu a day, you will wait for Lao Tzu to look good! ”

Obviously said that pigs and dogs are not as good as beasts, but Mu Zhengfang actually made a very generous and generous face as if he was gracious.

After Mu Zhengfang finished speaking, Mu Hongmei hadn't been able to recover from the shock she had brought to her by hearing her father's advice.

Seeing that Mu Hongmei was stunned and did not react like 'flattered', Mu Zhengfang showed his ugly face vividly without any reservation.

As soon as he raised his eyebrows, he roared viciously: "Did you hear that? ”

"Hmm. Dad, don't worry. I won't lose your money for wine in the future. Mu Hongmei was woken up by his roar, suppressed the churning in her heart, and nodded her little head with a bloodless face.

With such a father, what else would she dare to hope for.

He said that she should stay at home for a star and not go out to bask in the sun to recuperate, to put it bluntly, but he was afraid that she was young and did not know the common sense of recuperation, so that the wound on her head would be further deteriorated by the sun, and he had to pay out of his own pocket to take her to catch medicine and injections, so he explained it like this.

However, he will have such an explanation, and the premise is that the family still has wine and stock.

If there is no wine left in the house today, and he doesn't mention it in his previous life, based on what he knows about him as a father in the past two days of getting along, he is afraid that he will threaten her to immediately implement the money-making plans she said before.

The more she could see it, the colder Mu Hongmei's heart became.

Mu Hongmei's guess was right.

Family affection, in fact, Mu Zhengfang also cares, but it is only his relatives who pay him, not what he pays to any of his relatives.

In Mu Zhengfang's life, he only has endless demands, and never knows anything in return.

At least in his previous life, whether it was when his parents were alive, or from the time he and Mu Hongmei's sister and brother depended on each other, and after Mu Hongbing left home, he only lived with Mu Hongmei's father and daughter for a few years.

Therefore, after Mu Zhengfang got Mu Hongmei's assurance again, he turned around and went out of the stove room to rest with satisfaction.

It wasn't until nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, after eating a 'breakfast' with wine and meat served by Mu Hongmei, that he went out to the village to show off with a spring breeze.
