Chapter Twenty-Three: Too Much Deception
"When my grandmother broke up, the beam of the only thatched house we gave our family was broken, and my father was afraid that the thatched house would collapse, so he went to the second uncle to borrow a room for us to stay for one night, but the second uncle was unwilling. Then the eldest brother went to find Han Qi's brother, Han Qi's brother brought an ox cart to take us to his house to live temporarily, so we thought about packing up the things at home and bringing them over, after all, the thatched house leaked rain, and now it is about to collapse again, and it is not safe to put things in the thatched house, so I thought about taking them away, but the second aunt said that we stole her family's things, and now she stopped us from leaving, saying that she wanted to check the things we brought. Mu Yunxue said loudly, with a crying tone in her tone, but she continued, "Obviously, grandma gave you so many rooms when she split up, and only gave us a thatched house, and you didn't want to borrow a house to live for a night, but now Brother Han Qi came to pick us up and live temporarily, but second aunt, you said that we stole your things, and we didn't steal your things, woo woo." ”
After speaking, Mu Yunxue whimpered and cried, the cry was so loud and miserable that the surrounding onlookers were sad one by one, and they discussed it one after another.
"This Mu Jingshan is too ruthless, don't you dare to stay for one night, now that people have found a place to live, they still prevent people from leaving, not to mention that people stole her things, how can there be such a brother."
"That's it, I've heard that the five Mu Lao families are divided today, the long house and the second room, and their little daughter have all shared a lot of things, but the third and fourth rooms have only been given a thatched house, and now the thatched house is about to collapse, and I don't know where this Mu Jingze's family will live in the future."
"Hey, I really don't know why this Mu Lao and the five old people are so eccentric, this Mu Jing has been a well-behaved and filial person since he was a child, but he didn't expect to get such a result in the end."
······
Countless discussions exploded in the crowd, Liu didn't care about this, her purpose today was to search Mu Jingze's family again, to see what else they had valuable, if it was after today, this Mu Jingze's family would not come back to live in the future, then it would not be so easy for her to get something from them in the future.
"Okay, second sister-in-law, we'll let you check today, but if there's nothing, I'll go to the village chief tomorrow to ask for an explanation." Chu said, put all the things in his hand on the ground, Chu and Liu have been concubines for so many years, knowing that this Liu is not only greedy for money but also very cheeky, if Liu is not allowed to do what he wants today, his family will not be able to get out of this courtyard.
"I just said that!" Seeing that Chu opened his mouth, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, although he knew that the people of the old three families had always been honest and would not have any real positions, but Liu just couldn't see that the people in the third room were better, and they could catch a little more.
So Liu walked to the parcels that the Chu family put on the ground, opened the packages one by one and rummaged carefully, and behind her was Mu Zhiyao holding an umbrella for her.
The sound of ping-pong, Mu Yunxue watched Liu carefully rummage through each package, and even threw out all the things at will while looking for them, those ragged clothes and quilts were thrown out and were quickly wet by the rain, Mu Yunxue glanced at it, and a touch of pity flashed in her eyes, these are the last cold items of the family this winter, and they were ruined by Liu's in this way.
Liu rummaged through this package to that package, until he rummaged through the last package, Liu didn't find a copper plate, and his face couldn't help but look a little unpleasant, so he looked up at Chu and said, "I didn't find it, I still have to search my body." ”
"Enough!" Mu Jing, who had never spoken, suddenly shouted angrily, his eyes were cold and looked at the domineering Liu Shidao, "If the second sister-in-law wants these things, I will leave them to you, let's go." ”
After Mu Jing finished speaking, regardless of Liu's ugly face, he took Chu's hand and led the family towards the outside of the courtyard.
"Eh, who allowed you to go!" Seeing that Mu Yunxue's family was leaving, the secret path was not good, so he wanted to step forward to stop him again, but was stopped by Mu Jingze's cold eyes when he looked back.
The ox cart slowly moved forward, Mu Yunxue sat on the ox cart and snuggled up to her eldest brother Mu Zhijin, looking at the dark night, not knowing what she was thinking.
Han Qi's family actually lives in Beicun, and when he came, only Han Qi and Mu Zhijin were on the ox cart, so the speed was very fast, and there were a few more people in the cart when he went back, and the ox cart was not in a hurry, so it took three quarters of an hour to go from Mu's house in the south village to the door of Han Qi's house in the north village.
Mu Yunxue got out of the ox cart and looked up at the small courtyard of the blue brick house in front of her, and the house was still lit at the moment.
"Brother, I'm back." The door of the house was pushed open, and out of it came a six-year-old girl - Han Jing, Han Qi's sister.
"Hey, Yunxue!" Han Jing saw Mu Yunxue at a glance when she saw the person who was coming, and when Mu Yunxue called her name by Han Jing, she rummaged through the memories of Han Jing in her mind, which turned out to be the little girl who occasionally communicated with her across the river.
Shimizu Village is divided into South Village and North Village, which is inhabited by wealthy families in Shimizu Village, while North Village is inhabited by some people who have fled or are poor.
Han Qi actually originally lived in Nancun, but since Han Qi's parents died when he was a child, Han Qi sold the house in Nancun, and then took his sister to live in Beicun, but now it looks like the living conditions of Han Qi's family are not bad, at least much better than Mu Yunxue's family.
"Yunxue, I didn't expect my brother to pick up your family in the middle of the night to come and live, that's great, we won't have to communicate across the river in the future." Han Jing said with a smile, and affectionately took Mu Yunxue's hand into the room.
"Brother, Yunxue will sleep with me tonight!" When Han Jing pulled Mu Yunxue into her house, she didn't forget to say something to her brother.
Han Qi smiled and looked at the smile on his sister's face, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
"Yunxue, let's go in, I've already boiled hot water, you take a shower first in a while, and then I'll get you clean clothes to change into." Han Jing was even happier after getting her brother's permission, and pulled Mu Yunxue into her house.
Mu Yunxue looked at the room in front of her that was infinitely warm and girly, pink curtains, pink tents, pink tablecloths, pink bead curtains, and pink paper flowers······ Everything is pink, but it doesn't look vulgar, but it has a little elegant feeling, is this really a little rural girl's house?
"Come here, before my brother left, he told me that you have a sister who is two years older than me, so I asked me to boil hot water in the bath bucket in my room, and said that you can take a hot bath when you come with such a heavy rain to avoid getting sick." Han Jing took Mu Yunxue's hand and pushed open a door, and on the other side of the door was a bathroom, in which a large wooden barrel was placed, and the barrel was steaming at the moment.
