Chapter 55: Paying the money back
This is more broken than the broken grass house with half of the roof that Mu Xiucai crossed over and entered with Xiaohua, so at least there are walls on all sides, what about this...... It looks like a dilapidated house......
There were only three walls left in front of the house, one wall had collapsed, and there was not much straw left on the roof, and the house was full of weeds and stones.
"It's a little further away from the center of the village, and the people who used to live there have long since moved away." After Mu Shui finished speaking, he put down the flatbed truck, walked to the tree at the door, broke a small branch with leaves, and came in and began to clean up.
Mu Xiu turned around and made sure that this place was still solid and would not collapse, so he also began to clean up, and soon a clean area was cleared in the house.
After the autumn harvest, the straw was everywhere, Mu Shui went to gather some straw and came back to spread it on the cleaned ground, Mu Xiu spread a sheet on the thick straw, and then spread the quilt and patted the finished grass nest with his hand.... It feels good, it's very soft......
"Mother, I'm tired for a day, you take Xiaohua to rest first, and I'll go to the village party secretary with my father and borrow some food to come back." Zhou Shuilian is also tired enough these days, she nodded, hugged Xiaohua, and lay down.
Mu Shui pulled the wooden cart and sent it back to Aunt Xiong by the way.
When the father and daughter came to the village party secretary's house, Chen Xiangyang had only eaten dinner, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he was stunned for a moment, and asked, "It's cleaned up so quickly?" ”
"Yes, I just found a place to stay." Mu Shui Mu Ne's answer.
"Village party secretary, this is two hundred and twenty-five yuan, the money owed to you and the village will be returned to you, you count." Mu Xiu walked up to Chen Xiangyang and took out the money that had been prepared from his pocket.
"Where did the money come from?"
"Xiu, you have so much money?"
Chen Xiangyang and Mu Shui's voices sounded at the same time, both full of questions.
Because when he was in the provincial hospital, all the money was managed by Mu Xiu, and Zhou Shuilian was illiterate and couldn't understand anything, so he didn't know how much money he spent at all.
Mu Xiu has her own little abacus in her heart, after the various hospitalization fees are settled, Mu Xiu does not count the money she earned through the black market, she still has one hundred and fifty yuan in her hand, she originally planned to save her money first, and then see how much less it will be after the completion of the calculation, and then pay it back to the village first.
But Mu Xiu was afraid of her father's temperament, so she told her that she still had money left, and then she would be taken away by Liu Qimei, and it would be bad if the debt forced them to pay it back, so she simply told Zhou Shuilian that the money was all used up.
Mu Shui and Zhou Shuilian also believed Mu Xiu's words......
"Dad, village party secretary, listen to me." Mu Xiu had already thought of her rhetoric, and she told her that she was in the hospital, cooking for others, paying others for wages, and finally knowing that she was in difficulty and borrowing her a sum of money.
Mu Shui knew about Mu Xiu's cooking, but he didn't expect that the other party would give Mu Xiu money in the end.
"I've met a good Samaritan." Mu Shui sighed.
"Mu Xiu, what about the money you owe to the hospital?" Chen Xiangyang asked.
"At that time, I lied to my milk, and I wanted to break up." Mu Xiu knew that her parents were easy to deceive, but she couldn't hide it from Chen Xiangyang, not to mention that she needed Chen Xiangyang's help in many things next, so she was not prepared to hide it.
"You came back from the hospital, and I went to your house today, for more than ten days, don't say that you don't have time to repay the money." Chen Xiangyang said meaningfully.
"Moreover, your father and mother don't seem to know that this money exists."
"Village party secretary, if my grandmother is willing to repay this debt for the sake of family affection, then she will not split up, right?" Mu Xiu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Mu Shui, you kid is blessed, you have such a transparent girl, your good life is ahead." Chen Xiangyang instantly understood what Mu Xiu meant, and the more he looked at her, the more pleasing he became.
Mu Shui heard the village party secretary praise his daughter, and a smile appeared on his face.
"By the way, where do you live now?" Chen Xiangyang suddenly asked.
"It's the house outside the village where Liu used to be madman." Mu Shui suddenly frowned again.
"Isn't that house all down! How else to live? Chen Xiangyang couldn't help but be shocked.
"So, village party secretary, I still have some money to spare, see if you can find us a house to live in first, and we can pay the rent." Mu Xiu thought for a moment, looked at Chen Xiangyang and asked.
"Coincidentally, there is just one place, for others, the location is too bad, for you, it should be just right." Chen Xiangyang thought about it and immediately thought of a house.
"Where?" When Mu Xiu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
"It's the old house of the old grandson in front of you who divided the half acre of land, yesterday, his son came to me and asked me to dispose of the house that no one lived in, and they all moved to the county seat, and the house was cheap, three hundred yuan."
Mu Xiu was happy in her heart, if this is the case, it is too suitable, the location is at the back of the village, there are not many people coming and going, she has space, she can do many things, it is not easy to be discovered, at least eat meat on weekdays, no one can smell the fragrance.
"Village party secretary, we want this house, but the money won't be able to come up for a while, can we slow down." Mu Xiu calculated the remaining money in his hand, and his face couldn't help showing embarrassment.
"How much money do you have?" Chen Xiangyang asked.
"There are still 57 yuan, but we split up this time, we didn't eat at all, and seeing that winter is coming soon, we want to buy some food for the winter." Mu Xiu replied that although she has a lot of grain, it is basically fine grain, and she takes it out and eats it one by one, so she really can't explain it to Mu Shui and his wife.
"Lao Sun Tou's house, idle is also idle, it will definitely not be sold for a while, tomorrow morning I will ask someone to go to the old grandson's son to say, according to 2 yuan a month, rent it to you first, there is a place to settle down for the time being, what do you think." Chen Xiangyang has the heart to help them. "The son of the old grandson will definitely be willing to rent."
"Great, that's it." Mu Xiu's face was happy, she counted out 24 yuan, and handed it to Chen Xiangyang, "Village party secretary, pay the rent for a year first." ”
"Okay, then I'll take it first." Chen Xiangyang took the money, counted it, and put it in his pocket.
"Village party secretary, there is one more thing, my family has been divided this time, you have also seen it, nothing has been distributed, you see...... Can you sell us some wheat bran from the village? ”
Wheat bran is the seed coat of wheat milled into flour, and many people have eaten it during the three years of natural disasters, but now life is much better, and wheat bran is really difficult to eat, so many commune brigades are kept to feed pigs and chickens.
