Chapter Seventy-Five: Seeing Through
Mu Yi saw that she was about to achieve her goal, and she couldn't help but smile and bowed her head and said, "Third aunt, don't say that, you can't mention the separation of the family, it's really my fault for owing money, but it's not enough to split the family, didn't you hurt your grandmother's heart when you said this?" ”
"Oh, what do you mean by keeping us? Isn't it just that Xuan'er can earn money to help you pay off your debts? I tell you, today's house, points are scored, and no points are scored. Mrs. Ruyang smiled mockingly, and the angry old lady's face turned pale.
"Third aunt, how can you say that, you are hurting your grandmother's heart!" Mu Yu held the handkerchief in his hand and gently wiped the empty tears from the corner of his eyes.
The old lady looked at Mu Yu so united, and she felt a little comfort in her heart.
"On weekdays, all the good things are in your big house, and it's our turn when you don't want your big house, what's wrong with us proposing to split up? This is not a home in the first place. "Mrs. Ruyang is ruthless and wants to split up, no matter who persuades her, she will not listen.
Mu Heyun looked at it like this, and suddenly understood the intentions of his children, although Mu Yi was not so obedient, but he went to the gambling house and was cheated of so much money, he couldn't do this.
When he heard the news, even though he had a trace of doubt in his heart, he was dizzy and only thought about teaching this child a lesson, but now that he looks at it, he thinks that these two children have already thought about it, and they are here to calculate the third room, and use this plan to force the third room to take the initiative to propose a separation.
The old lady was silent, and Mrs. Ruyang stood aside and said even more ugly, the old lady finally had to recognize the facts, so she had to wave her hand weakly, "Okay, divide the family, divide the family, anyway, I don't think this is a family." ”
Although the old lady is a little meaner on weekdays, she is still an old man who has reached her age, and she is very sentimental, seeing that the relationship between the Hou Mansion has reached the point of irreparability, she helplessly walked away with a cane and staggered away under the smug gaze of Mrs. Ruyang.
Mu Yu hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the old lady, if she didn't have a hatred for the old lady, it would definitely not be, but in the end, she was also a poor old man. "Grandmother, I'll help you back."
The old lady's hand holding the mahogany cane trembled slightly, and when Mu Yu supported her, she subconsciously softened most of her body, and almost didn't fall.
"Grandmother, be careful." Mu Yu quickly supported the old lady and sent her all the way back to the courtyard, there was a big brother watching in the hall, presumably the third room could not take much advantage, so she stopped and saw the old lady return to the room.
Seeing that the old lady was sitting firmly on the couch, she was ready to leave.
"Wait a minute." This was the first time that the old lady had called Mu Yu so gently, but her voice could not hide the hoarse and thick nasal voice.
Mu Yu turned around, hurriedly walked to the door, and stopped again, "Grandmother, you called me?" When she was a child, the old lady didn't like her, and she never stepped into the old lady's room, and even today, she still remembers this habit.
When the old lady saw Mu Yu stop at the door, her already misty eyes were instantly filled with tears, she put the crutches in her hand on the head of the bed, and beckoned to Mu Yu, "Come, child, you come in." ”
Mu Yu squatted beside the old lady obediently, and the old man, who had always been strong, cried in front of him, perhaps because of the blood relationship, Mu Yu's heart was also suddenly, and it hurt, "Grandmother, don't be sad, even without the third uncle and three aunts, as well as my father and mother, eldest brother and I take care of you, we must be filial by your side." ”
The old lady choked up, she wanted to apologize to Mu Yu, but she just touched Mu Yu's cheek with tears, she was such a face-saving person, and she still couldn't open this mouth.
Seeing the old lady's tears coming out of her eyes, Mu Yu held the old lady's hand, "Grandmother, don't be too sad, it's not worth it to be angry." ”
The old lady pursed her lips, nodded, and took out a few silver tickets from under the pillow, "Your eldest brother owes a debt, if your father is ruthless and refuses to pay him back, grandmother still has some silver left here, and you secretly stuff it to him behind your father's back." ”
Mu Yu only glanced at the silver ticket cursoryly, and then shirked to return the silver ticket to her grandmother, Mu Yi had no arrears, the debt did not exist at all, and there was no need for her to accept the coffin book of the old lady.
"Grandmother, you don't need this money, although my father is angry, but he won't be so ruthless, the money in the house is enough, where do you need to give money."
"You kid, I said you can take it, and it's not for you, it's for your eldest brother, and when he earns the money, he will pay it back to me." The old lady pretended to be angry, holding the silver ticket and pushing it into Mu Yu's arms again.
Mu Yu thought about it and let her go, if she didn't accept it, the old lady wouldn't feel at ease, and it would be a big deal to return it in a few days, and there would be nothing. "Then I'll thank my grandmother for my eldest brother."
"Well, let's go, I'm not feeling well, I'm going to rest." The old lady didn't care that Mu Yu was still in the house, and sent her subordinates to take off her shoes for herself, cover the quilt and turn around, with her back to Mu Yu.
It is said that little children, old children, and old ladies have never lost face in front of Mu Yu, and now she is depressed in her heart, Mu Yu quickly left the house when she saw this, and she no longer bothered her.
In the main hall, Mrs. Ruyang and Mu Liangxuan really insisted that they would take the last sum before leaving, but everything they had to take in half.
Mu Heyuntang, the head of the family, is too lazy to worry about anything with her, if she wants to share, she won't stop it, and Shen Mei is not a person who cares, in the end, this thing is really half of the family, and the division is even.
When Mu Yu returned to the main hall, everything had already settled, and the rest was only waiting for the third room to move out of the Hou Mansion.
"Brother-in-law, before you find a place to live, live in the house first, and when you find a place to live, it's not too late to move out." Shen Mei is completely out of humanitarianism, and when he mentions this, it can be regarded as a good gathering and dispersal.
But Mrs. Ruyang has already prepared a back road for herself, "You don't need to pretend, we will move tomorrow, from now on we will return to the bridge and the road will return to the road, even if we meet on the road, it is best not to say hello." ”
Mu Liangxuan, who had split up, also gained confidence, ripped away half of the account book, turned around and left without saying a word of greeting, and Mrs. Ruyang followed suit.
In the noisy hall, there was only one of them left as a family of four. Mu Heyun endured it all the time and didn't make a sound, but now that he saw that everyone was gone, he pointed at Mu Yi and Mu Yu, "You two, you really have grown up and have ideas!" ”
Mu Yu still wanted to pretend to be stupid, blinked innocently with dark eyes, and asked puzzledly, "Dad, what did you say?" ”
"You two, playing in front of me, it's still a little short." Mu Heyun glanced at the remaining half of the ledger on the table, "Now that you have both achieved your goals, how long will you install them in front of me?" ”
"Dad, have you found this?" Mu Heyun, the follower of Mu Yu, looked at the account book, and knew that the matter really couldn't be hidden this time.
Shen Mei really didn't know, seeing the father and daughter playing dumb riddles, he couldn't help asking, "What did you find?" Yi'er, what did you do with Yu'er? ”
Mu Yu licked his lips, glanced at the eldest brother who was still hiding two meters away, and smiled guiltily at his mother, "Mother, in fact, the eldest brother has no gambling debts." ”
"No gambling debts? So why did the people from the gambling houses come back to collect the debt? Shen Mei looked at his daughter, and he was even more confused.
"That's the person I asked Master Xie to find to help with the acting." Mu Yu avoided the sight of his parents, staring at his own pair of embroidered shoes and not daring to lift them.
As soon as Mu Heyun heard Xie Chongning's name, he immediately became angry, "Okay, you are capable, acting together with outsiders and deceiving us." ”
"Father, it's not that we want to hide it from you." Mu Yu stirred his handkerchief, "If my eldest brother and I mention the separation of the family with you, you will definitely not agree." ”
"So you two are going to cut it first?"
"Father, it's not my sister's fault." Mu Yi stepped forward at this time and intimately blocked in front of Mu Yu, "That Mu Liangxuan's heart is not correct, I am afraid that he will be involved in the house sooner or later, and I happened to pass by that day, and I heard that Sanfang had already had the idea of separating the family, so I had a plan." ”
Mu Heyun picked up the already cold teacup in his hand and sneered twice.
Shen Mei never thought that his sons and daughters would sing such a play behind his back, and the deceived Sanfang turned around, and when he turned around, he saw Mu Heyun eating cold tea.
"Master, this tea is cold, I'll ask someone to change it for you." In fact, in her heart, she didn't think that Yi'er and Yu'er had done anything wrong, the two children were for the good of the family, and she was only surprised at most, her two seemingly honest children actually performed such a trick.
Mu Heyun calmed his face, put down the teacup, didn't want to, but chuckled twice, and didn't even complain about the two, "You two have really grown up." ”
But the more Mu Heyun was like this, the more frightened Mu Yu felt, "Dad, I know that my eldest brother and I have done something wrong, if you are angry, just scold me." ”
"Scolding you? What do you scold? Mu Heyun looked at his daughter's big eyes full of disdain, and stared at him worriedly, "You two are more capable than me." ”
How is it that the more you listen to this, the more it seems to be a counter-argument? Mu Yu grabbed Mu Yi's sleeve and handed him a tentative look, did he and his eldest brother do something wrong.
"These three rooms are indeed more than enough to succeed, but for the sake of your grandmother's face, I don't have much to say, and now although the two of you are playing a show in front of our old men, it is not a bad way, I have nothing to blame you."
Mu Yi stood up straight, dusted off the dust he had rubbed to beat Mu Yi, and the smile on his face was unprecedentedly relaxed and proud, "Okay, you all go back, I won't pursue this matter, just wait for the third room to leave, the gambling debt at the door, how do you invite it back, please go back." ”
