The situation of the Muren family, the money manager could not be clearer, and none of the relatives and friends he knew had the spare money to lend them food.

"This..."Mu Ren has never lied, but when he was asked by the money manager, he didn't know how to answer, and he wanted to tell the money manager what happened during the day, but he felt a little ashamed in his heart.

The wool used to exchange for food, after all, is not his own, this practice seems to be somewhat contrary to the teachings received from the book in the past, and the money manager may have to block it, but in this way, the more than 500 catties of grain that have been dangling in his mind are gone, that... So what about Hassen?

Of course, you can borrow food from the money manager, but now the whole family often eats the last meal but does not have the next meal, so when there is a shortage of food, do you ask the money manager to borrow it? The money manager is willing to borrow, and he doesn't have that face.

Besides, with the current situation of his family, I don't know if I want to return to the Year of the Monkey.

But as a teacher, Qian Guan asked about the origin of the food, but he couldn't help but say it.

"I... Today, I was herding sheep and met a caravan..."Mu Ren hesitated and muttered unconsciously.

"Oh..."Steward Qian suddenly answered, "You sold Chao Litai's horse?" ”

The money steward felt that this was nothing difficult to guess, Muren's family was surrounded by walls, and he could still exchange some money and grain, that is, the horse, with their current family background, it was indeed a little difficult and not cost-effective to raise such a superfluous horse.

"Huh?" Mu Ren didn't expect Steward Qian's reaction to be like this, so it was good, it saved him the effort of making up nonsense, "Ah." ”

"You kid, why are you so tough, you'd rather sell horses than ask me to borrow grain." Steward Qian thought he knew the truth, and couldn't help but complain.

"Muren, did you sell Chaolitai's horse?" Mu Renniang asked next to her.

Mu Ren sighed in his heart, how could he forget his own mother next to him, this is good, press the gourd and scoop, but how to explain to his mother.

"Muren, don't you know that your mother sells horses?" Steward Qian listened to his mother's question, and then stared at Mu Ren's eyes and asked.

"Eji, teacher, I didn't tell you beforehand, it's all my fault." What can Mu Ren do at this time, he can only grit his teeth and carry the matter of selling horses, and he can't deny it again, saying that he didn't sell horses, and it is even more unclear how the grain came from.

"Alas, sell it, sell it, our family has an extra horse, it will cost a lot more, blame me for not thinking it through, it's okay to sell it, just save Hasen." Mu Renniang sighed and said slowly.

Steward Qian knew the reason why Mu Renniang was reluctant to sell the horse, it was Chao Litai's mount, as long as it was still in one day, maybe he could feel the breath of Chao Litai for one more day.

"Muren, since your mother has agreed, then... Gather the grain, and don't lose it. "People don't care about mothers, money managers naturally won't be evildoers, the matter has come to this, it's useless to say more.

"Thank you, Lord Qian, for reminding me." Mu Renniang took out the rope and prepared to tie the mouth of the bag.

"Wait," Steward Qian pointed to the grain bag and asked Mu Ren, "How much grain did that horse change, wouldn't it be that?" ”

"That's right," Mu Renniang also asked while tying her pockets, "Mu Ren, Chao Litai's horse is not bad, but if you exchange food, it will be more than that." ”

"It's... Isn't this that the horse hasn't been handed over to someone yet, this bag of grain is... It can be regarded as giving Aher's horse, and when the horse is handed over, the people will make up the rest of the grain. Mu Ren was in a hurry, and the ghost sent a god to tell the rhetoric of Tang Hezhi during the day, but changed the change of wool to change the horse, but frightened his mother and the money manager.

"Well, in that case, this caravan is quite exquisite." The money steward touched his beard and praised.

"Then did they say no, how much grain can Chaolitai's horse exchange?" Mu Renniang carefully put the grain bag back into the tent, turned around and asked.

"This... They told me to bring the horse over tomorrow and see if it was priced. "Mu Ren is out of the way, this is really a lie to cover up with countless lies, first pass the current pass, no, tomorrow I will really lead Chao Litai's horse out and walk around, and wait for the wool to really exchange for food, and then explain the truth to Eji.

"Mu Renniang, Mu Ren, since it's okay, then I'll go." Steward Qian believed Muren's statement, and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he offered his farewell.

"Let's go, teacher."

"Master Qian, let's go."

Looking at the money manager who was far away, Mu Ren wiped a cold sweat, for the first time in his life, he lied in front of the teacher, and did not tell the teacher the truth, and Mu Ren didn't know whether what he did was wrong or right.

Although he only started this lie, and the rest was made up by the money manager and his mother's own brain, Muren still felt a kind of inexplicable discomfort in his heart, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and for the sake of the more than 500 catties of grain, Muren felt that he was right to do so.

"Eji, I'll go out." After the figure of the money steward disappeared completely, Muren said hello to his mother, also left the yurt, and walked outside.

"What's the matter? Don't eat any food? Mu Renniang asked.

"Oh, let's talk to a few people, we will shear the sheep together tomorrow, it won't take long, and I'll keep the meal when it's ready." Muren ate too much at noon, but now he is not hungry at all.

At the end of the evening, Mu Ren did not dare to tell his friends about the sale of wool, for fear that they would not be able to bear the excited look on their faces, and the housekeeper would see what was the clue, so he deliberately found an opportunity to talk to them in detail after the work was finished.

"Well, this matter has to be discussed, by the way, everyone is not rich, don't mix in other people's homes." Mu Renniang specially explained.

"Don't worry, Eji, I'm not going to come in the door, call them out and say." Muren replied.

Although listening to Tang Hezhi's tone, the more people who are willing to exchange wool, the better, but Muren is a little unsteady.

Although he had already obtained a bag of ten catties of grain, Muren still decided to find a few good partners first, and drive the sheep to that valley tomorrow, and if the wool sheared that day could really be exchanged for grain, it would not be too late to tell the others.

If you are not sure, you can tell this matter, and let everyone rush to shear the sheep in a hurry, but they will get nothing, and they will not be blamed to death, and what will they do in the tribe in the future.

Therefore, Muren's plan tonight is to call his friends out and get together to talk secretly, instead of going into people's homes and talking about it.

"Come back early!" Mu Renniang shouted at Mu Ren's back, turned her head to look at the four horses in the stable, sighed, chopped up the weeds that Mu Ren had cut back, and sprinkled them in front of them.

"Eat, eat, eat," Mu Renniang patted the neck of one of the horses gently, "This is the last meal you have eaten at our house, I should have let you eat some good food, but there is really no one at home, by the way, there is sorghum noodles brought back by Mu Ren, you wait." ”

Let's look at the other three horses, because they can only eat grass for a long time, they are all a little skinny with hunger, and their hearts soften, "Forget it, you all eat some, Hasen can't eat so much alone." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the yurt.
