Chapter 199: Mu Qiu's life-saving grace to Niuniu
The sudden enthusiasm of hiring Sanniang made Mu Tong feel uncomfortable, and he hurriedly stopped it. "No, no. It's too expensive. How can he be virtuous in the next, no merit will not be punished. ”
When Sanniang heard it, she didn't like it.
"Uncle, what are these words? Isn't it just two eggs, this is a rarity for others, in our Huo family, it's not like you can eat it if you want to. Not to mention anything else, Xiao Qiu'er came to play, and he didn't eat five or six with Niuniu. What a big deal. Besides, Xiao Qiu'er saved our Niuniu in the first place, how many eggs can repay it?"
I'm rubbing, there's so much information in it!
Mu Tong glared at Mu Qiu who was exposed.
This little bastard, just now he was blaming the two uncles for stealing eggs, and it didn't count him for stealing eggs. As a result, he ate until he vomited every day, and he didn't even want to take two of them back to treat his uncle, and he was embarrassed to pretend garlic with himself. When I go back, I must clean up this bear child.
"Xiao Qiu, what's going on? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"
Mu Tong looked at Mu Qiu with a straight face.
This is not acting, Mu Tong is really unhappy.
Don't look at the words of hired Sanniang, but this matter is not so easy to fool.
An egg costs five taels of silver, and Mu Qiu can let people send him a few to eat at a time, not to mention dozens of taels of silver. In the past half a month, Mu Qiu has disappeared in the Huang family's compound not once or twice, that is to say, every time someone entertains him to eat eggs, even if it is two at a time, it is a matter of hundreds of taels to hundreds of taels of silver.
An ordinary family of three can only support a month's worth of work. It's only thirty or forty taels a year, plus the use of funerals and festivals, and some expenses that are not too unexpected are only around fifty taels a year.
And this kid ate the cost of a family of three for a few years at once, can this not be pursued?
If it is the Mu family's money, then even if he spends 180,000, Mu Tong doesn't care.
But that's people's money. Even if people don't care, it's impossible not to care. Nobody's money is blown by the wind.
Even if Sanniang hires Sanniang to say, eggs are nothing in their family, and they may be less than dozens of yuan.
However, you can't think that the gold bracelet they gave you is worthless just because they have a gold mine!
Fortunately, under Mu Tong's questioning, Mu Qiu finally clarified the ins and outs.
It turned out that a week ago, Mu Qiu ran out to play alone, and ran to the edge of the moat alone.
Unexpectedly, I met Niuniu who was bullied by a group of children, and I wanted to come forward to help, but I didn't think those children were so bold, and I actually pushed Niuniu off the moat because of a dispute!
A three- or four-year-old girl, still pampered, where can there be water!
And when this kind of change happened, the group of children did not dare to stay, and they scattered as birds and beasts.
The situation was critical, and in a hurry, Xiao Qiu'er, who couldn't know how to water, jumped into the moat by himself, held Niuniu up, and threw Niuniu ashore in the water with his own force. And he sank to the bottom of the river!
But fortunately, they were not far from the city gate, and the group of panicked children aroused the idea of the adults, and when they were asked that someone had fallen into the water, the adults who came found Niuniu who was thrown ashore, and also found Mu Qiu who was floating in the river, so they fished up Mu Qiu in time.
The Huo family's development is a miracle in Lingguang City, and there are naturally many people who know it.
Although the Huo family is not a big family, it is not a small family.
Naturally, someone sent the two children back to the Huo family in order to tie the knot.
Knowing that Mu Qiu sacrificed his life to save him, the Huo family is not ungrateful people, otherwise they would not have made a commitment to continue to run a noodle stall after they were developed, and the whole family was proud to be able to run a noodle stall.
So, the Huo family, who had inherited their hatred, wanted to visit. But how dare Mu Qiu let his uncle know that he almost lost his life by risking his life. So under the prevarication, the Huo family had no choice but to give up.
Therefore, satisfying the oral desire of the little benefactor is nothing.
And Niuniu naturally kissed him because of the life-saving grace of Mu Qiu.
And that group of unlucky children were naturally held accountable by the Huo family, and they were beaten by their parents one by one so that they couldn't get out of bed, and they also compensated the Huo family. And the one who pushed the man was said to have almost been killed, and later it was the old lady Huo who spoke, the Huo family was not easy to make a fortune, so there was no more evil, and only one of the kid's arms was taken, so I understood the matter.
And because of this, Niuniu has no playmates, and Mu Qiu has to sneak out to play with Niuniu every once in a while.
Hearing this, Mu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
But he was still a little angry and nodded at Mu Qiu's head and said, "How I teach you on weekdays, give grace to Motu." Kindness is your own will, how can you ask others to repay it? Punish you to go back and copy the "Words of the Sage" ten times. ”
The hired Sanniang on the side saw that Mu Qiu was punished, and he was immediately unhappy.
"Uncle, it stands to reason that you educate your children, and I, an outsider, should not intervene. However, as the old saying goes, give grace to Motu to repay, but there is also a saying that Grace should not be repaid. How can this life-saving grace not be repaid, in that case, how can others dare to do chivalrous things in the future. If the person who does good deeds does not receive the gratitude and reward of others, and the person who receives the help feels that he deserves it, who will be willing to help others in the long run? When the time comes, everyone will stand by and watch coldly, and even if someone falls down and falls unconscious on the street and dies in the sun, no one will be willing to help!"
Mu Tong's words were jammed, and what Sanniang said was thought-provoking. But it made him feel that something was wrong.
After pondering for a while, I realized that the object of education was not right.
Kindness is not reciprocated, but it is the people who do good deeds and cultivate noble sentiments.
Don't forget to repay kindness, educate the people who are helped, and cultivate a sense of gratitude.
The two complement each other in order to build a harmonious society.
I was hired by Sanniang to change the concept.
Mu Tong, who wanted to understand, looked up, and there was still a trace of the two children, who had already been sent away by Sanniang.
And hired Sanniang herself, took a rolling pin to drive away the people watching the show, and went back to do business!
Alas, Mu Shaojun, who thought that he was famous and full of ink, was actually planted in the hands of an unknown little woman.
Looking at the bowl of noodles with two poached eggs that was re-served by Hi Sanniang, Mu Tong could only finish it in a sullen voice.
Although there was an accident with Mo Qing's joint, fortunately, his intention was conveyed.
also unexpectedly gained the kindness of the Huo family, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.
It's just that the situation of Mu Qiu gave him a headache.
He realized that there seemed to be some misunderstanding between himself and this nephew.
Also, since I was with him, I didn't seem to have a good heart-to-heart talk.
Either fighting or running for his life, he ignored that this was a four or five-year-old child, and he ignored what he thought of himself.
On the contrary, he has to be cautious and contact with himself, and he is not qualified to be an uncle.
Happily eating the noodles in the bowl, Mu Tong snorted and checked out, then dropped a gold ingot weighing ten taels and left in a hurry.
He didn't know that these ten taels of gold ingots had caused a stir on the noodle stall.
In a society where silver is common, gold is generally used for business between large merchants, and ordinary people have the opportunity to see it. Not to mention a ten-tael gold ingot.
That's a whole thousand taels of silver, although the Huo family's noodle stall has a good business because of the problem of craftsmanship, but in fact, it really can't make a lot of money, unless they all order eggs like Mu Tong did, otherwise a bowl of noodles is only ten yuan. This still depends on the value-added of the Huo family's time-honored brand.
Other people's noodle stalls cost up to 5 cents a bowl of noodles. It's expensive, but it won't be more than 20 yuan.
A thousand words is one tael, and a hundred taels is one gold.
Where did Mu Tong throw away the gold worth a thousand taels, and the sensation caused can be imagined.
But hiring Sanniang the most, Mu Tong is not giving face money, but the egg money eaten by Mu Qiu!
What a man!
Hiresanniang sighed and said to her husband: "His uncle is worthy of being a scholar, he is really a righteous gentleman." ”
If Su Bai heard this, he would probably vomit blood!
