Chapter 17: Borrowing Money Again

After arriving at the county seat, as long as there is one bus from Zhenping County to Yingwu Township, it will depart in the morning and go back in the evening, if it can't catch up, either stay in the county for one night, or walk back by itself.

Mu Shui was just unfortunate and didn't catch the last train, he was anxious, he didn't want to delay time, and it was not cheap to stay in the county seat for one night, so he walked along the potholed mud road to the village.

There are more than 30 kilometers of road from Zhenping County to Yingwu Township, and Mu Shui walked for 6 hours at night before rushing back to the village, and it was already early in the morning when he arrived home.

Mu Shui pushed open the fence door around the yard, lingered outside the door of Liu Yumei's room for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

The knock on the door was especially rapid in the silence of the night.

"Who?" Liu Qimei's voice rang out.

"Mother, it's me." Mu Shui replied stiffly.

As soon as Liu Qimei heard that it was Mushui who came back, she immediately lost her sleepiness, she jumped out of bed with a bone, opened the door and scolded.

"You're a dead thing, and you've got a face back."

Liu Qimei's shrill voice also alarmed the other people living in the courtyard, and after a while, Mu Gen Musheng and his wife, as well as Mu Zhi, all came out of their rooms and gathered in the courtyard.

"Yo, it turned out that Mushui came back, I thought you wouldn't go back to this home." Mu Gen still remembered that Mu Shui had confronted him in front of people a few days ago, so he spoke in a weird tone.

"Hey, second uncle, didn't I hear that you didn't go to the provincial capital? How nice the provincial city is, why do you come back? Liu Yumei also sang and harmonized with her man.

After Wang Damin came back that day, he reported to Chen Xiangyang about the situation of Mushui's family in the hospital, and was heard by the surrounding villagers, so it was spread ten, ten was passed on to hundreds, and in a blink of an eye, the whole village knew that Mushui took the newborn girl to the provincial capital to see a doctor.

In this patriarchal era, there are basically no people who are willing to spend so much energy and financial resources for a small baby, so some people still laugh at Liu Yumei, saying that her family is going to raise a golden pimple.

After Liu Qimei heard the words of her eldest son and daughter-in-law, the anger accumulated in her heart in the past few days suddenly came up again, but the words of Mu Shui below made her almost faint in distress.

"Mother, please lend me some money!" Mu Shui lowered his head, and when he borrowed money, he popped out of his mouth word by word.

"Second uncle? Didn't you borrow two hundred dollars from the village and leave? It's only been two days, and there's no money??? Wang Guiying asked with a surprised face.

Mu Shui tapped his chin with some difficulty......

"Two hundred yuan, it's gone in two days?? My God, my life is miserable, my son takes so much money to spoil it, not to mention buying a piece of meat for his own mother to eat and buy a new dress to wear, this is going to be struck by lightning! When Liu Qimei heard this, her heart felt as if a knife was cutting her heart, and she couldn't breathe in pain.

Not only is she in pain, but Mugen Musheng is also heartbroken.

"Mother, Xiaocao's doctor can treat her disease, and she can earn it again after the money is gone, as long as the person can cure it." Mu Shui hurriedly told everyone the good news that Mu Xiaocao could be cured.

It's a pity that this is not good news in the eyes of others.

"Phew, a name? As soon as you were born, you wasted so much money, why don't you die and forget it, if you don't have money, are people still alive? Liu Qimei's mind is now full of things about the loss of two hundred yuan, and she scolded angrily.

"Mother, please!" Mu Shui said, and knelt down for Liu Yimei again.

"No money, no money, not a penny!" After Liu Yimei finished speaking, she turned around and entered the room, closing the door hard.

Liu Yumei and Wang Guiying also ripped their men's clothes, and then they both went back to their own houses, leaving only Mu Shui to kneel on the ground silently.

Mu Shui didn't know it, tears were already covering his face, he shouldn't have come back...... When Mu Shui was disheartened, he suddenly felt someone gently pull him behind him.

"Brother, get up, no one cares about this." Mu Zhi looked at Mu Shui's face with tears, and she said with a complicated expression.

"Muzhi, you're back." Mu Shui stood up, wiped his tears with his hands, and looked at the youngest sister in the family with some helplessness.

Although Mu Zhi is a daughter, her status in this family is higher than that of Mu Shui's son, she was influenced by the educated youths who were sent to Yingwu Village, and her style of behavior is different from other women in the village.

Everyone else in the village got married early and had children, but she has always been high and low, running to the county seat at two ends in three days, staying in the county for a few days, going back to the village to work for a few days, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.

Mu Zhi said that he helped people in the county town and gave Liu Qimei 5 yuan every month, so Liu Qimei turned a blind eye to Mu Zhi's behavior, and everything was up to her.

"Brother, I don't have much money in my hands, this is 100 yuan, all my savings, you can use it to save my little niece first." Mu Zhi pulled Mu Shui to the door of the fence, stuffed a hundred-yuan bill to Mu Shui, and whispered.

Mu Zhi came back yesterday and also knew what happened to Mu Shui's family.

"Muzhi, where did you get so much money?" Mu Shui was a little stunned for a moment.

"It's all my dowry, you can use it first." Mu Zhi replied impatiently.

"Brother will definitely return it to you in the future, thank you, Muzhi."

"Hurry up and go to the hospital, and we'll talk about it later."

"Okay, I'll pack up my things and leave." Mu Shui grabbed a hundred yuan, carefully put it in his pants pocket, returned to his house, changed into a slightly neat clothes, and brought two changes of clothes for Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiu, and left.

Mu Zhi looked at Mu Shui's back, sighed softly, and turned back to his room.

Mu Shui walked to the entrance of the village, thinking that a hundred yuan must still be a little insufficient, he gritted his teeth and turned around to guard the door of Chen Xiangyang's house, the village party secretary.

At this time, the sky has gradually revealed a trace of fish belly white, Chen Xiangyang's mother, Grandma Li got up first and started to clean the yard, as soon as Grandma Li opened the door, she saw Mu Shui standing at the door.

"Hey, Mushui, aren't you going to the provincial capital? What about the water lotus? How's the kid going? Grandma Li said as she looked behind Mu Shui.

"Aunt Li, the doctor in the provincial capital said that it can be treated, and they are still in the hospital in the provincial capital.... I... I have something to do with the village party secretary. Mu Shui spoke, his voice getting quieter and quieter.

"Okay, I'll go and call him up." After Grandma Li finished speaking, she walked to a room and knocked on, "Xiangyang, are you up?" ”

"Get up." Chen Xiangyang was about to get up, and when he heard his mother's shout, he got out of bed and opened the door.
