Chapter 5: Separation is impossible
Mu Zhiyi saw that Dr. Lu was gone, so he stepped forward and said to Mu Jingze, "My sister-in-law said that she was going to sell her sister for her dowry, and said that her grandmother had already said hello to someone, so she waited for someone to take her sister away in a few days, and her mother was unwilling to hear it, so her sister-in-law said that her sister was a money-losing product, and she would sell it sooner or later, so it was better to sell it now to save the family's food money, and she could buy her a good dowry." The mother was unwilling to hear this, so the grandmother asked the sister-in-law to beat the mother, and the mother was kicked to the ground by the sister-in-law. I wanted to protect my mother, but my grandmother called Cousin Zhiwu to beat me! After speaking, the ten-year-old Mu Zhiyi cried with a whimper, but there were bruises on the back of the raised hand.
"Dad, let's split up, I don't want to live with them, I don't want our family to be sold again!" Mu Zhiyi cried and threw himself on Mu Jingze's body, crying so heartbreakingly.
Mu Yunxue stood aside and watched Mu Zhiyi cry so much, and thought about the calmness and wisdom of his peers that Mu Zhiyi always showed in his memory, how could he cry so much because of this incident······ I don't have an image, I still remember that Mu Zhiyi was beaten by that Mu Zhiwu two years ago, and I found my grandmother to complain, and after taking over my grandmother, not only did not punish Mu Zhiwu, but also taught Mu Zhiyi a lesson, saying that Mu Zhiyi didn't respect his younger brother, but a month later, Mu Zhiyi used a trick to let another bully boy in the village beat Mu Zhiwu, when Mu Zhiwu was beaten, Mu Yunxue saw Mu Zhiyi hiding in the distance and secretly watching Mu Zhiwu being beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and with a smug smile, Since then, Mu Yunxue has had some feelings of love and fear for her third brother.
In the past, Mu Yunxue loved and feared Mu Zhiyi, but now Mu Yunxue likes Mu Zhiyi, a third brother with a small belly, so Mu Yunxue also cried loudly and said: "Dad, let's split up, the last time I fell into the lake and almost drowned, it was pushed by my cousin Yiyi, woo woo, the lake was so cold at that time, I was so afraid that I would never see my father and mother again, woo woo woo!" ”
Mu Jingze looked at his little son and youngest daughter who were crying sadly, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but the seeds of the separation were planted in Mu Jingze's heart.
"Dad, I also think it's good to divide the family, half a year ago I went to see the second sister, the second sister said that the family will be killed one or two maids every month, the second sister said that she was afraid that the next one to be killed was her, if we split the family, we can make money to redeem the second sister, after all, at that time, grandma forced the second sister to sign a death deed, and the owner of the maid who signed the death deed wanted to be killed, I don't want to lose a sister, Dad!" Mu Zhijin stepped forward and said, with a forbearant grief on his face.
Mu Jing looked down at his three children, and his weak wife lying on the bed, his heart was indescribably mixed, his father's partiality had been known since he was very young, he originally thought that as long as his family paid more, his father and mother would always see their own good, and then be more tolerant of themselves, but in exchange for decades of pay, is it that his father and mother are now sucking the blood of his wife and children?
Mu Jingze's heart is tormented and painful at the moment, on the one hand, filial piety and wife and children, no matter how much choice is a very painful thing.
After being silent for a long time, Mu Jing finally spoke, but the tone of his voice was unusually soft, as if it was like a puff of smoke.
"Zhijin, you stay and take care of your mother, Zhiyi, Yunxue, you follow me to find your grandmother." Mu Jing said and stepped forward to take Mu Zhiyi and Mu Yunxue's hands.
Mu Zhiyi and Mu Yunxue stopped crying, glanced at each other, and unexpectedly saw disappointment in each other's eyes, but the two didn't say anything more, and they followed Mu Jingze honestly.
And at this moment, the main house is indeed a scene of family harmony, Mu Hong looked at his proudest eldest son Mu Jinghai, his eyes were full of smiles, and looked at the current style of Mu Jinghai's family of three, and his heart was even more overjoyed.
"I plan to stay for a few days when I come back this time, and I'll let your four brothers and sisters clean up your house." Mu Hong looked at Mu Jinghai lovingly, and the corners of his wrinkled eyes were full of smiles.
"Dad, in fact, when I came back this time, my son wanted to discuss something with his father." Mu Jinghai looked at Mu Hong, there was no wave in his eyes, unlike Mu Hong's enthusiasm, Mu Jinghai's face was always faint, but when he mentioned that he wanted to discuss things, there was more flattery, caution and a fleeting calculation on his face.
"Is there not enough money, there is no problem with this, when the autumn harvest is over, I will let your third and fourth brothers take it and sell it for money, you can take it, it doesn't matter if we are too hard, the key is not to be bitter Zhiwen, seeing that he is about to take the Xiucai exam, you can't be sloppy at this time." Mu Hong said.
"It's not! Dad, the money is enough, I just think that over the years, your second elder and the second, third, and fourth brothers have only cared about our family, but you have treated you harshly, and I feel really uncomfortable in my heart. And Zhiwen also told me more than once that his family was really poor, and he would definitely repay his uncles, aunts and cousins in high school in the future. Mu Jinghai said, but this is really a bit high-sounding.
"What is there to repay or not to repay this, the family should work together and help each other." Mu Hong said, but he didn't want this kind of help to be based on the suffering of the third and fourth rooms.
"But I'm still uncomfortable." Mu Jinghai said, "So when I came back this time, I just wanted to discuss something with my father." ”
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Mu Hong saw that Mu Jinghai mentioned it more than once, and he was also a little curious about what Mu Jinghai wanted to say.
Mu Jinghai looked at Mu Hong's face and said nothing, "Dad, I want to split up." ”
"What!" Mu Hong didn't expect Mu Jinghai to propose a separation, although now there is no such thing as parents in the village who do not divide the family, many families naturally divide the family after their children become families, but their own family Mu Hong has never thought of dividing the family, the family is moving towards a goal is what Mu Hong has insisted on for so many years, firmly believe that with the strength of the whole family, the Mu family will have a time when they are rich again, and now they see that there is a little hope but they want to divide the family, and the eldest son who proposes to divide the family is the most important, This made Mu Hong unthinkable no matter what, and at the same time couldn't figure it out.
"It's impossible to split up." Mu Hong directly rejected Mu Jinghai's proposal, and his face became ugly.
"Dad, listen to me," Mu Jinghai knew that his father would not easily agree to the separation, but thinking about his son's future, Mu Jinghai still mustered up the courage to continue, "Dad, my son knows that my father has been looking forward to someone in the family being able to join the family all these years, but a poor family like us wants to confess an official, such a sacrifice is too great, seeing that the children of the second, third, and fourth brothers are all about to fall to the age of their relatives, but now they can't even get a decent dowry. I'm really ashamed to be the eldest brother, so I thought about dividing the family. ”
