The next day, Mu Xiu drove an ox cart and said that he would go to the county seat to pick up the machine, but everyone was not at ease and wanted to follow her, and finally Mu Xiu had to let Chen Xuhui accompany him to the county seat.

When he arrived in the county seat, Mu Xiu found a reason to send Chen Xuhui away temporarily, and came to a remote place, taking advantage of people's inattention, put the machine and the sewing machine on the ox cart together, when the machine was put in, Mu Xiu was still a little entangled, and finally gritted his teeth and put it in together, fortunately, the machine area was not large, and the ox cart just put it down.

After finishing it, I covered everything with a large piece of rain cloth, and then I went to find Chen Xuhui, and after finding Chen Xuhui, the two of them returned to the village like this.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I met several village mothers-in-law, and they couldn't help but exchange a look with each other when they saw the high piles on the Muxiu ox cart.

One of the slightly chubby women shouted at Mu Xiu: "Mu Xiu, what good things have you bought again, piled up so high." ”

Mu Xiu looked at several people looking behind her with gossipy faces, and she replied with a smile: "Aunt Liu, these are all worthless things, let's go first." Then he pulled the ox cart and left with his things.

"Tsk, this must have been something good, and now it's all starting to hide it." The person who was called Aunt Liu by Mu Xiu pouted and said.

"Isn't it, people are rich now, tractors are so expensive, they buy them when they say they buy them, didn't they give sweet potatoes a few days ago? I calculated with my boss later, and at least a few thousand catties of sweet potatoes were sent! A pock-faced woman beside Aunt Liu said loudly.

"Although sweet potatoes are worthless, but thousands of catties are also hard to grow, and I am reluctant to give them away if they want to be replaced by my family." Another tall, thin woman said.

"You don't understand this, aren't all the stupid boys in his fields Chen Xuhui helping to do the work? What hard do they have, their abacus is very fine, their family eats fragrant and spicy every day, this sweet potato naturally can't be seen, people don't want to eat this thing, it's better to give it to others, at least others still appreciate it, you didn't see it, after sending sweet potatoes, how many people in the village praise Mushui is a good person. A woman with high cheekbones and a slender face said ill-intentionedly.

"You say that, it's true, when you mentioned Mushui before, who knows who he is, now speaking of which, who in the village doesn't know that his family is rich, you still remember the wheat harvest of his family in the spring, let's go learn from the scriptures, Mushui said so much, so who doesn't know about farming, hiding and refusing to tell others, that rice field fish farming, not to shoot the village party secretary's fart, I am too honest, if I could have understood it earlier, and did it with the village party secretary, my family will not also get rich this year."

"Yes! It's not the reason you said, I really didn't expect that Mu Shui looked honest and was still a traitor in his heart. Someone nodded in realization.

"In the past, we were all blind, he is really a person with a bad stomach, since he is so generous, why does the tractor refuse to use us, it's not that we can't see that we have a good time, and it doesn't show that his family is the only one in the village."

"I have money and no conscience, and I don't care about my biological parents, no wonder my family is on fire......"

"Oops, what are you doing!" When a few people were chewing their tongues, suddenly someone from behind splashed a basin of water and wet the shoes and trouser legs of these happy mothers-in-law who were chatting.

"If you talk about others behind your back, you are not afraid of going to hell to die and have your tongue pulled out." A woman with a face full of vicissitudes blushed, holding a basin in one hand and pinching her waist in the other, stood at the door and said disdainfully.

"Yo, isn't this Widow Chen, what's wrong, after eating a few catties of sweet potatoes, I treat them as benefactors." Mazi's shoes were wet, and she said angrily.

"Mu Shui was originally my benefactor, I don't treat Mu Shui as a benefactor, but also treat you people who will take revenge as benefactors?" Widow Chen pointed to the pockmarked face and said.

"Benefactor? What is the blessing of this wood water for us? It's hilarious. Mazi's face was unconvinced.

"You people who have no conscience, when you harvest rice, people don't grow rice, but you haven't contributed to it, and you got that threshing machine for you to use, and you forgot it in a blink of an eye? I see, Mu Shui is too kind, why do you do this, exhaust you people who don't know what to do, that's good! Widow Chen's righteous words immediately blocked the mouths of these mothers-in-law.

"You... Let's go. The pock-faced mother-in-law stomped her foot, turned her head and left, and the rest of the mother-in-law also followed behind and left.

Widow Chen looked at the backs of several people, let out a long breath, her feet were a little weak and returned to the dilapidated room, sitting on the wooden bench at the door, a girl in the room who looked timidly about seven or eight years old looked at Widow Chen, and slowly jumped over.

"Mother, aren't you afraid?" The girl jumped from the dark place in the house to the bright place, leaned on Widow Chen's legs, and held Widow Chen's hand with some fear, if those people started to fight Widow Chen just now, Widow Chen was really not an opponent alone, but Widow Chen still rushed out alone, and Chen Xiaolian was always worried in the house.

Taking advantage of the bright light, I saw that one of the girl's feet was soft and motionless on the ground.

"Lian, my mother didn't do that bad thing, what are you afraid of, you have to talk about your conscience, if it weren't for the Mu family to give us these sweet potatoes, our mother and daughter would really starve to death." Widow Chen touched Chen Xiaolian's face with pity.

"It's me who dragged you down, mother, it's all my fault." Chen Xiaolian lowered her head sadly.

"What do you say, if it weren't for you, what would it mean for my mother to live, and when the land was divided again at the end of the year, my mother would also farm the land, and I would definitely raise you fat next year, save some money, and go to the big hospital in the county to see you, maybe... Maybe you'll be able to stand up. Widow Chen patted Chen Xiaolian on the back.

"Really?" Chen Xiaolian's skinny face was full of expectation, and she dreamed that she could walk like a normal person.

"Really, okay, let's go, my mother will cook for you, tonight, let's bake sweet potatoes and eat." Widow Chen quickly changed the subject, she turned her back and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Chen Xiaolian This is polio, and it can't be cured anymore, but in the face of her daughter, Widow Chen still can't bear to tell her this cruel truth.

When Widow Chen came out, she seemed to see a figure flashing past, but when she walked out of the door, she didn't see anything, she thought she was dazzled, and finally shook her head and went into the house.
