The sky was a little gray, there was a drizzle, the vegetable garden was sticky and greasy, and the flowing water mats were all sheds, but no one dared to come.

Chen Mu didn't have any money in his hand, the wine and food in the restaurant were all purchased by Sun Youlin and others, and after sitting for a day, no one came, only some people, watching the excitement from a distance, whispering, and didn't know what they were muttering.

Today's Hong Shuntang is like a water dog, which was run by the government once, and offended the foreigners, and the people of the Heavenly King Association are secretly slandering, and no one dares to donate.

"Ershao, it's okay not to register, if you register in the gift book, you will leave your name, and it will cause trouble in the future, many people will be afraid of this, they want to help, but they don't want to have anything to do with Hong Shuntang, you are afraid that you don't understand this mentality......" Sun Youlin's experience is more experienced than Chen Mu after all.

Chen Mu shook his head: "Knowing grace is a basic conscience, how can those who send charcoal in the snow not even know their names?" ”

"If they don't want to get into trouble, I don't bother to ask for the donation."

When Sun Youlin heard Chen Mu like this, he could only shake his head helplessly, he waited for a whole day, but no one came, and he could only return the wine and food to the pot at night, and everyone had a big meal.

Chen Mu knew that it was unlikely that he wanted to rely on these scattered donations to repair the old house, he just wanted to throw bricks and lead the way.

What he rebuilt is not only this house, the Chen family's abandoned house is just an attitude, it is a gesture of Hong Shuntang's comeback, if they can accept the renovation of this abandoned house, it is equivalent to accepting Hong Shuntang's reappearance.

What Chen Mu really wants is those guys with a lot of money, repairing an abandoned house, for them, it is just a drizzle, and what Chen Mu really needs from them is not the abandoned house, but Hong Shuntang!

However, as things stand, the results are not very promising.

Because it was the ruffians who ate and drank on the street, they didn't dare to come to the abandoned house to eat and drink, and everyone stayed away, saying that the whole Jiangmen, even Xinhui didn't have a few people coming.

On the second day, Chen Mu got up early, he wanted to take the initiative to visit those big families, but if people didn't want to, you would come to the door in person, and it would be useless, but depreciated his own value.

Chen Mu really needs to rebuild Hongshuntang quickly, but he doesn't have to beg along the streets, let alone eat the food that comes from him.

The reason why he wanted to go out was to see what kind of attitude the market had towards Chen Mu wanting to repair the Chen family's abandoned house.

If the small people in the market are all such a disregarding attitude, let alone those big households.

"Ershao, do you still have to set the banquet?" Sun Youlin was also a little frustrated, but Chen Mu was extremely determined.

"Of course it must be decided, I am sure that someone will come!"

Sun Youlin looked at Chen Mu meaningfully, so he didn't say anything more, and asked his subordinates to go to the restaurant to book a banquet.

Seeing this, Chen Mu also smiled at Sun Youlin: "This business may be lost, you are not afraid of investing so generously?" ”

Sun Youlin glanced at Chen Mu, and replied angrily: "I'm all your second less, do you still care about this money......

Chen Mu laughed: "Don't say that, I don't like men, I'd rather like that woman...... Haruko......"

As soon as he was halfway through the words, Chen Mu had already felt the monstrous murderous aura, and Haruko was already standing behind him at some point, staring at Chen Mu, and did not forget to lick his lips.

She put her arm on Sun Youlin's shoulders and said jokingly, "Youlin-kun, I really want to hear someone say that they like me......

Sun Youlin also showed an evil smile, and stared at Chen Mu at the same time as Haruko Ashiya: "Tsk, a teenager, I like it very much......"

Sun Youlin and Ashiya Haruko are both cold characters, but they also know that rebuilding the abandoned house is Chen Mu's beginning, and now it is blocked, Chen Mu is not in a good mood, after all, they are both young people, the timing is coincidental, and the topic is a joke, which can be regarded as relieving Chen Mu's emotions.

Chen Mu appreciated it, lifted his corset, and covered it back with lightning, but said, "Uncle, come and play......"

Chen Mu pretended to be charming, but after all, he was jerky and clumsy, and the three of them all smiled, and the haze shrouded in their hearts seemed to have dissipated a lot.

Haruko Ashiya has always been dissatisfied with Chen Mu, and she lost to Chen Mu, but now that she has officially joined the gang, she is happy in her heart.

With this happy episode, the relationship with Chen Mu seems to have narrowed a lot at once.

The drizzle in the sky was very cool, and the three of them walked on the streets of Xinhui, but they were a little lonely.

Maybe it's not a polder day, and there are no people rushing to the market, it's not lively, but the wet and sticky streets are full of children, carrying bamboo baskets, small wooden barrels and booms, thinking that they are going to the suburbs to fish.

"Is there a wind coming? Why are families tinkering? ”

There are often typhoon days in the Lingnan area, and the storms and rains are also terrifying, and the experienced old people, when it comes to the typhoon season, usually remind the young people to strengthen the tile surface in advance, so in August and September, such a situation will occur.

But now it's late autumn, the typhoon season has long passed, if one or two are like this, it is common, after all, the house leak has to be repaired, but every family is like this, it is inevitable that there are some doubts.

"Let's go in and have a look."

Although the Chen family is also in Xinhui, it occupies a relatively large area, the manor is far away from the hustle and bustle, considering the security problem, there are no neighbors around, after all, it is the owner of Hongshuntang, and there should be pomp and circumstance.

However, his brother Chen Ying often sneaked out to play with Chen Mu, and there were many people who knew Chen Mu.

When they walked into the streets, they saw that the men were doing something to the houses, and the women were shouting something in the local dialect, thinking that they were against it.

Chen Mu didn't come forward well, so Sun Youlin walked forward, but Chen Mu stopped him and nodded to Haruko Ashiya, in Chen Mu's opinion, it should be better for a woman to come forward.

Haruko Ashiya glanced at Chen Mu, and had no choice but to speak in a blunt tone, and asked, "This sister-in-law, is it a man who bullies you, you just say it." ”

Thinking about it, she is used to being cold, or maybe her vocabulary is less, and Haruko Ashiya speaks more straightforwardly, but the sister-in-law doesn't appreciate it.

"I want you to take care of my family's affairs, go away!"

After saying this, he scolded the man on the roof: "If you dare to tear down half a tile, don't come back in the future!" ”

Haruko Ashiya wanted to have a seizure, but was stopped by Sun Youlin, and the three of them continued to walk forward, and there seemed to be similar situations along the way, and they walked a few more houses, and finally met something different.

The woman of this family is only in her twenties, wearing a blue coarse cloth coat, with a vegetable face, thick hands and feet, and she looks hard-working, two bare-bottomed children, stepping on the mud puddle next to them, and a timid little girl, shyly holding her mother's pants, as if she has grown with her mother's thighs.

This woman is also fierce, holding a blowtorch in her hand, and scolded the men in the family: "Ah Lai Ba, you are a rotten gambler who cuts a thousand knives, you have to lose the money to buy grain seeds, I married you such a waste wood because I didn't cultivate in my previous life, if you dare to take away the money, I will burn this house!" ”

The man also looked to be in his twenties, with an open and thin chest, the skin of his neck was wrinkled, he was wearing a pair of dirty calf-nosed pants, his bare feet, and he was holding an old red cloth bag in his arms.

"Wife, I've done a lot of wrong things, but this time I will never be wrong, I'm not going to gamble, you let me go!"

The woman couldn't persuade her, so she sat down and cried: "What kind of karma did you create in your previous life, if you dare to leave, I will ...... I'll die for you! ”

The man also looked sad, but said resolutely: "If you don't do this, I will have a bad conscience for the rest of my life, and I can't help your wife!" ”

Seeing that the man was leaving, the woman hurriedly got up, dragged her daughter forward to fight: "I will kill you, and everyone will die together, it is better than starving to death!" ”

The woman stepped forward to fight, but she was dragged by her daughter's thigh, staggered, and was afraid of sitting on her daughter, so she slipped and fell to the ground diagonally, the man was full of guilt and struggle, but in the end he took the opportunity to run.

The woman sat helplessly on the ground, beating her chest and feet, holding her daughter and crying, and the two bare-bottomed boys stopped stepping on the mud puddle, and stood behind with a blank face, eating their fingers, looking at their mother pitifully.

Seeing this, Chen Mu also sighed, and stretched out his hand to Sun Youlin: "Lend you a few taels of silver ...... again."

Sun Youlin frowned: "Don't borrow, the most unfortunate thing in this world is a bad gambler, you are kind, I understand very well, but the silver is given out, only in the middle of the night, the man comes back, and he wants to rob and gamble, why let this woman rejoice?" ”

Chen Mu shook his head: "It's almost noon now, the rotten gamblers are sleeping, and the gambling house is not open, I see him swearing, that man may not really be gambling......"

Sun Youlin snorted coldly: "Ershao, you are still too naïve, it's better to do this, I'll make a bet with you, let's follow, if that man doesn't go to gamble, I'll lend you silver, if he really goes to gamble, you will beat him, how about it?" ”

Chen Mu couldn't cry or laugh, saying that he hated gambling on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to bet with Chen Mu, this Sun Youlin was also interesting.

However, Chen Mu didn't plan to change his mind: "In this way, you borrow money first, if that man really goes to gamble, I will break his dog's leg and make him unable to come back to rob his wife's money, it should be okay, right?" ”

Sun Youlin was also angry and funny, but he still took out a silver coin from the bag.

At this time, it is difficult for ordinary people to see silver, and it is only when a ranger like Sun Youlin goes out that it is convenient to carry silver.

Chen Mu took the silver bill, walked forward, and said to the woman: "Sister-in-law, take this bit of silver first, don't starve the child......"

The woman's wife raised her head and looked at Chen Mu, but she was not grateful to Dade, but scolded loudly: "The old lady is poor, but she is not a beggar, and she does not sell herself, you just go away!" ”

Chen Mu also smiled bitterly, and said to the woman's mother-in-law: "Everyone is a neighborhood, and they just help each other, so it should be regarded as borrowing." ”

"Borrowed? Are you a money lender? My family's waste wood was borrowed from a loan shark, and I almost lost my mother to others, and you want to lie to me again, hurry up! ”

Chen Mu also looked helpless, but Sun Youlin and Ashiya Haruko couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chen Mu had no choice but to stuff the silver to the two stupid bare-ass boys, winking at them, the two little boys suddenly laughed, and ran away after getting the silver, and the woman's wife was also anxious: "You two are not sexual, just like your old man, don't give it back to me!" ”

While scolding, she got up and chased after her, the little girl was in a daze in place, and when she saw Chen Mu, she was afraid again, she cried out and staggered after her mother.

Seeing this scene full of fireworks, Chen Mu and the three of them also had mixed feelings, they had all become orphans, and there was sympathy in their eyes, of course, envy and memories.

Sun Youlin picked up the blowtorch on the ground and handed it to Chen Mu.

"What is this?"

"The money has been borrowed, and the hard work has finally been given out, so it's time to break the man's dog's leg, right?"

Chen Mu: "......"
