Chapter 198: Lies
"Daddy! Money...... How is the money gone! Come and see! Zhou Shuilian knelt on the ground and was so anxious that she cried.
"Ahh Why is this money gone? Mu Shui's mind went blank, and he repeated following Zhou Shuilian's words.
"I obviously collected all the money I gave before the show, why is there no penny now, what about the money... Daddy, come and find it! Zhou Shuilian's voice trembled a little.
"I...."
"What are you! Come and find it! That's the hard-earned money of the show! Zhou Shuilian's voice changed tone.
Looking at Zhou Shuilian's eager appearance, Mu Shui's words came to his mouth and swallowed again, he was afraid that Zhou Shuilian would be even more angry when he knew, Mu Shui's complicated expression went to the corner of the wall and pulled it down, and then suddenly a flash of inspiration, he said to Zhou Shuilian: "Child, this money should not have been stolen!" ”
"Stolen? Who stole it? Zhou Shuilian was startled and stood up suddenly.
"Do you think, there were so many people in our family a few days ago, and I was busy in the field, did you see someone enter this house?" Mu Shui put away the apprehension in his heart, and he asked nervously.
"So many people are busy, they come into the house to drink water, I've been busy in the kitchen, thinking that no one can find out where the money is hidden, so I didn't stare at it, who knows what they are doing in the house." The more Zhou Shuilian said, the more she felt that the money might have been stolen, she didn't suspect Mu Shui at all, she subconsciously always felt that Mu Shui would not lie to her.
"They are all good at making houses, and the location we are hiding, you think it is a secret, but it may be seen by others at a glance." Mu Shui licked his lips, once this lie is made up, more lies will be told to cover it up.
"These people who have no conscience! I entertained them with delicious food and drink, and the show paid a lot of wages, how could they steal it! No, I'm going to go to them now! After Zhou Shuilian scolded twice, she stood up and was about to go out to find someone.
"Hey, Shuilian, it's useless for you to go, they are all running around, and they don't know where to build a house at this time, and even if they find them, if they don't admit it, what evidence do we have to show that they stole it?" After Mu Shui's lies slipped smoothly, these later statements became even smoother.
After really listening to Mu Shui's words, Zhou Shuilian paused, and then said angrily: "Then this money is gone?" Lost in vain? ”
"What can I do then! I can only admit it, alas! After Mu Shui finished speaking, he squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands, and sighed deeply.
"Woooooooooo......oo I'm sorry for Xiu, I didn't take care of her hard-earned money, what kind of face do I have to tell Xiu! Zhou Shuilian cried sadly.
Mu Xiaohua was startled by the cry, she hummed a few times, Mu Shui hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Mu Xiaohua and coaxed gently, Zhou Shuilian saw this, lowered her voice and began to sob.
"Shuilian, don't be sad, when this time is over, I will go to the county seat to do things, and I will make money to make the show money back!" Mu Shui decided to get through the current hurdle first, and he must find a way to compensate her for Mu Xiu's money in the future.
"The child's father, they all blame me, it's my fault." After listening to Mu Shui's words, Zhou Shuilian stopped crying, but she still blamed herself.
"It's none of your business, don't worry, I'll earn it back!" Mu Shui seemed to be talking to Zhou Shuilian, and he seemed to be talking to himself.
"Well, let's talk about it when the show comes back." Zhou Shuilian's last words made Mu Shui's heart rise again, Mu Xiu has always been smart, and I don't know if she will find out if she is lying.
The husband and wife had their own thoughts, and in the end they stayed awake all night, Zhou Shuilian was sad and blamed herself, and Mu Shui was worried and scared......
At this time, Mu Xiu, who was in the provincial capital, arrived at the time to meet Aunt Pan, she took out a bun from the space, and walked towards Aunt Pan's house while eating.
"Knock knock." Mu Xiu arrived at the place and knocked on the door.
The door opened with a "squeak", and it was opened by a slightly rich old man, presumably Mrs. Pan's lover.
"Yo, little girl, I'm thinking about you, you're here." Uncle Pan said with a smile.
"Uncle, have you seen me?" Mu Xiu asked curiously.
"Although I haven't seen it, the person in my house said that a good-looking little girl came knocking on the door and let me in." Uncle Pan's words made Mu Xiu embarrassed.
"Where's Aunt Pan?" Mu Xiu stepped through the door.
"It's coming, it's coming." Aunt Pan's voice sounded.
I saw Aunt Pan wearing an apron and walking out of the kitchen next to her.
"You're busy in the kitchen, you're here, little girl, have you eaten?"
"Ate a bun." Mu Xiu replied truthfully.
"Then what's the matter, I'm cooking, you can eat a little too." Aunt Pan greeted warmly.
"No need, auntie." Mu Xiu hurriedly refused.
"You kid, call us uncles and aunts, just leave you to eat a bowl of rice, and if you are polite, I will be angry." Mrs. Pan pretended to be unhappy.
"That'...... Okay, but I'll cook a dish! Mu Xiu also really likes this old couple, like the old people who were good to her when they were in the mountains.
"The little girl can also cook, okay, I eat the food cooked by the old woman all day long, and change the taste." Uncle Pan said happily.
"Uncle, don't laugh, I just know how to cook a few home-cooked dishes." Mu Xiu rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.
"I'll do it." Aunt Pan followed in.
Mu Xiu glanced at the kitchen, Aunt Pan had already burned a plate of braised pork, and there were already cut beef strips next to it, which had not yet been cooked.
"Auntie, do you like chili peppers?" Mu Xiu glanced at the braised pork, and it was the kind of Chaotian pepper inside.
"Your uncle loves chili peppers very much, and always complains that my stir-fry is not spicy, but I have already put a lot of chili peppers." Aunt Pan complained.
"Okay, I also love chili peppers, I'll make a few spicy dishes for my uncle to try today." Mu Xiu took out the chili pepper from the back basket.
In this era, Chaotian pepper is already the hottest pepper, but Muxiu has the world's fifth ranked Shenjiao No. 1, which is a new variety of pepper specially cultivated by the Agricultural Science Institute of Sanming City, Fujian Province for snacks in Lesha County, the appearance is no different from ordinary red peppers, but the spiciness is different, it can be said to be the highest spicy variety in the country.
"You still sell chili peppers!" Aunt Pan said in surprise.
"Well, this is the pepper I accidentally found when I went up the mountain, it is much spicier than the pepper I see on weekdays, so I dug them up and took them home to plant, and this time I brought them out to sell and see." Mu Xiu took out cucumbers, carrots and white radishes from the back basket again.
