Chapter 22 Driven on a Rainy Night
Fortunately, no matter how the rain leaks, the kang where Mu Yunxue's family sleeps does not leak rain, which is also due to the fact that Mu Jing has gone to pick up dry weeds to repair the roof of the thatched house, and especially repaired the roof of the kang bed, so he is worried that the rain will leak, so the family will have no place to sleep, as for why not all the roofs are repaired with weeds, this is actually in Qingshui Village, there are many people who will choose to repair the roof with dry weeds, and the dry weeds are also very suitable for burning firewood, so it is good to be able to cut a little dry weeds and come back, and a large part of it has to be put in the kitchen, which is considered to be handed over, and only a small part can be left to repair the roof.
So Mu Jing focused on repairing the roof of the kang bed, and just made a simple deal of other leaking places, and it was very tolerant of rain leakage as soon as the wind blew the rain.
Just when Mu Yunxue thought that she would not be drenched by the rain tonight, a loud collapse sounded, and Mu Yunxue was awakened, but saw that Mu Jingze in the house had already lit the oil lamp and leaned in the direction of the sound.
The beam collapsed, and Mu Yunxue saw a beam lying quietly on the ground through the oil lamp in Mu Jingze's hand, which was not very bright, and there were many small holes at both ends of this beam, thinking that this was the reason why such a strong beam would break.
"Shuwan clean up, this house is uninhabitable." Mu Jing looked up at the roof and said.
"Well," Chu also knew that it was not a trivial matter for the beam to fall, so he got up and hurriedly packed the things at home.
"Mother, I'm here to help too." Mu Yunxue also got up and got off the kang bed and said.
"Mother, I'm here to help too." Mu Zhiyi saw Mu Yunxue get up, and he also got up to help the Chu family pack up his things.
"I'll go talk to my second brother and see if you can pick us up in a room tonight." Mu Jing watched his wife and children pack up their things, so he thought about borrowing his second brother for a night first, and now most of the houses in the family have been allocated to the second brother, and it should not be difficult to borrow a house for one night.
It's just that after Mu Jingze knocked on Mu Jingshan and Liu's door in the rain, Mu Jingshan looked at Mu Jingze very impatiently, and asked Mu Jingze coldly what was the matter.
"Second brother, the beam of the house has fallen, and I am worried that the house will collapse, so I want to borrow you a room for a night." Mu Jing said very politely, not at all like a conversation between brothers, but a bit like a subordinate facing the master.
Mu Jingshan slapped him impatiently, raised his head, didn't bother to look at Mu Jingze, just said lightly: "It's just a broken beam, isn't the house not collapsing, just live there!" After speaking, Mu Jingshan turned around and closed the door, ignoring Mu Jingze outside the house.
Listening to the loud sound of the door closing, Mu Jingze didn't expect that Mu Jingshan couldn't even borrow a room for a temporary stay, which made Mu Jingze's heart cold, on the way back, Mu Jingze didn't walk so fast when he came, but let the rain wash over him, it seemed that only in this way would he not feel so cold.
Mu Yunxue was helping the Chu family pack all the things in the house, but in fact, there were not many things, just a few old quilts that were too old to be old, as well as a few sets of torn clothes from the family, and then there were some broken bowls and cans that the Chu family picked up on weekdays.
"Dad," Mu Yunxue put a broken kettle in the packed pile, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Mu Jingze, who was drenched in soup, walking in, and Mu Jingze's eyes were very empty.
"Jing Ze?" Chu Shi also saw Mu Jingze's strange appearance, and quickly took a torn dress for Mu Jingze to put on, and then asked, "What's wrong?" Is it that the second brother and sister-in-law don't borrow our house to live temporarily? ”
Mu Jing heard his wife's voice, looked up suddenly, and saw Chu Shi looking at him worriedly, his eyes were full of tears for a while, and he stepped forward and hugged Chu Shi into his arms and muttered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." As he spoke, the tears in his eyes slid down his cheeks, wetting Chu's coat.
"It's okay, if you don't borrow it, you won't borrow it, just now Zhijin has already gone out, saying that he is looking for a place where we live temporarily." Chu said
"So you all guessed it!" Mu Jing listened to Chu's words, closed his eyes, and secretly said What he has done all these years, does he still have any illusions about his so-called relatives now!
It took about two quarters of an hour for Mu Zhijin to come back with an oil-paper umbrella, and along with Mu Zhijin, there was also Han Qi who Mu Yunxue saw last time.
"Hello uncle and aunt." Han Qi came in and politely greeted Mu Jingze and the Chu family, naturally automatically shielding Mu Jingze's current embarrassed appearance.
"Brother Han, are we going to live at your house?" When Mu Zhiyi saw Han Qi, he stepped forward and greeted him affectionately.
"Well," Han Qi touched Mu Zhiyi's head and nodded, then said, "Let's move everything to the ox cart outside the yard first." ”
"Okay." The Chu family responded, and then everyone moved the things out together, there were not many things, Chu Shi, Mu Jingze, Mu Zhijin, Mu Zhiyi, Mu Yunxue and Han Qi took some and finished moving.
It's just that when a few people just walked to the gate of the courtyard, they saw that Liu, who should have been in the house, was crossing his hands on his waist at the moment, and his bloated body was blocking the gate of the courtyard.
"Yo, look at who this is, sneaking around in the middle of the night, don't steal my things and don't dare to leave during the day." Liu's voice was loud, and his words were also vicious.
"Second sister-in-law, what are you talking about!" The Chu family was angry, and he didn't say anything if he didn't borrow his house for a while, but now he actually came to slander his family for stealing things, is there such a person?
"Why, I said that you stole my things, and I want to check all the things you brought out of this yard today." Liu raised his head and said loudly.
"Second sister-in-law, it's too much for you to do this." Chu said angrily, in the past, his family was always pressed by the big house and the second room, but now that he has separated his family, he has no in-laws to support the people in the second room, and he will definitely not be afraid today.
"It's too much, it's too much for you to steal my things in the middle of the night." Liu continued to talk nonsense.
"You ······" Chu was so angry that he trembled, but Liu had already said that his family had stolen something, and if he didn't check Liu, with Liu's character, he wouldn't know what kind of ugly words would come out tomorrow, but if he checked Liu, he couldn't swallow this breath.
"Second aunt, don't deceive people too much, we didn't steal anything from your family!" At this time, Mu Yunxue suddenly screamed, so loud that almost several families around the Mu family's courtyard could hear it.
Originally, Liu's voice was loud, and it had already woken up the nearby people, but now after Mu Yunxue's roar, several families around the Mu family who were sleeping a little half in a daze woke up, and they pricked up their ears one by one to listen, saying what to steal, so in the spirit of gossip, many people went out with sleepy eyes, and then surrounded the courtyard of the Mu family.
"Mu Lao Wu's family, what's going on?" A middle-aged man who arrived first glanced at the situation in the courtyard of the Mu family, and then asked curiously.
