"Huh? Wood water? As soon as Chen Xiangyang stepped out of the door, he saw Mu Shui, and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Village party secretary, please help me again, I really can't help it! The child is now being treated in the hospital, and the doctor said that it can be cured, but it needs money, and the 200 yuan I brought over is about to be spent. Can you lend me some more money? I'll definitely pay it back later. Mu Shui finished his words in one go.

After Chen Xiangyang heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Mushui, there is not much money left in the village's account, and the autumn harvest is coming soon, the village has long wanted to buy a tractor, if this money is lent to you again, the tractor will not be done, there is really no way to lend it to you!"

When Mu Shui heard this, he immediately lowered his head in disappointment, buying a tractor is a big deal, if it is delayed, he will be scolded by the whole village.

Looking at Mu Shui like this, Chen Xiangyang sighed, and then said to Mu Shui: "My family is not rich, I can only lend you 20 yuan first, and I can't take out more, you take it first, and then think of other ways." ”

In the end, Mu Shui took his luggage and the 120 yuan he borrowed when he came back, and boarded a minibus bound for the county seat.

When he arrived at the county seat, Mu Shui thought about it, hesitated at the gate of the station for a long time, and finally turned around and walked towards the tannery in the county seat.

Zhou Shuilian's sister, Zhou Dujuan married in the county seat, although she married in the county seat, but no one envied her, because she married a lame man, Zhou Shuilian's mother married Zhou Dujuan in order to marry her son's daughter-in-law, and after getting the dowry, she didn't care anymore.

After Zhou Dujuan got married, he also directly cut off contact with all his mother's family except Zhou Shuilian, because Zhou Shuilian was 10 years older than Zhou Dujuan, she took care of Zhou Dujuan since she was a child.

Only then did Zhou Shuilian know Zhou Dujuan's address, and she came with Mu Shui twice, but Zhou Shuilian didn't want Zhou Dujuan to be looked down upon at her in-law's house, so she rarely moved.

If she hadn't been forced to do anything this time, Zhou Shuilian wouldn't have let Mu Shui come to Zhou Dujuan.

Zhou Dujuan's in-laws are both tannery workers, and they hold iron rice bowls, and Zhou Dujuan's husband is waiting for his father to retire in two years so that he can take over his father's post.

Now their family of five lives in the cannary's building, which at that time was like today's university dormitories, with dozens of rooms on one floor, door to door.

The timing of Mu Shui was also coincidental, Zhou Dujuan's in-laws went to work, her husband sent her children to school, and Zhou Dujuan was cleaning up the house at home alone.

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhou Dujuan opened the door and saw Mu Shui, she was a little stunned.

"Sister... Brother-in-law? ”

"Alas, cuckoo, it's me!" Mu Shui was also stunned when he saw Zhou Dujuan.

Zhou Dujuan is ten years younger than Zhou Shuilian, twenty-eight years old this year, Mu Shui remembers the last time he saw Zhou Dujuan, Zhou Dujuan was still as thin as hemp stalks, only a few years of hard work, just like blowing up a balloon, the whole person is white and fat, looks young and pleasing, so at a glance, it is a very comfortable life.

"Come in and talk, where's my sister?" Zhou Dujuan welcomed Mu Shui into the house and went to get a water cup to pour water for Mu Shui to drink.

"Cuckoo, that's a long story." Mu Shui has not been stained with water from last night to now, he took the boiled water handed over by Zhou Dujuan, drank it all in one go, and then told Zhou Dujuan what happened from beginning to end.

"Oops! Brother-in-law! What a sin my sister has suffered! Why did you come to me now! Zhou Dujuan heard that Zhou Shuilian had given birth to a child, and there were such twists and turns, she was really distressed.

"It's not... It's not ...... I'm afraid to cause you trouble. Mu Shui didn't speak very well, he rubbed his hands and said in a pit.

"You wait!" Zhou Dujuan stood up with red eyes and walked into the bedroom separated by a flower curtain, only to hear the sound of Suosuo for a while, Zhou Dujuan held a rag cloth bag sewn by the head, and the cloth bag was bulging.

"Brother-in-law, this is a hundred yuan, you take it, if it's not enough, come to me to get it, here are Niu Niu's childhood clothes, diapers and a few old clothes, you can bring them to my sister."

"Du Juan, thank you so much, I will definitely pay you back this money in the future." Mu Shui was so grateful that he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Dujuan.

"I'll talk about it later, let's get through the current difficulties first, you go quickly, hurry up, and take care of my sister." Zhou Dujuan was in a hurry, and after speaking, he opened the door and urged Mu Shui to go quickly.

"Okay, then I'll go." Mu Shui didn't give in anymore, picked up money and clothes, and walked to the station.

Sitting on the minibus going to the city, Mu Shui clutched the 220 yuan in his pocket tightly, and looked out the window with hope in his eyes, his little daughter was saved!

Mu Xiu slept until more than six o'clock in the afternoon before waking up, and when she woke up, she was comfortable and felt that this was the time to rest.

"Mother, I'm going to cook." Mu Xiu stretched and said, Zhou Shuilian, who was holding Xiaohua next to her, looked at Mu Xiu with pity and nodded.

Mu Xiu arrived at the small cafeteria, she planned to continue to make cabbage and tofu soup for dinner, Zhou Shuilian is now confined, low oil and low salt, light and nutritious soup water is the most nourishing and milking.

Just as Mu Xiu finished doing it and put it in the bowl, a male voice suddenly came from behind him.

"How much is your bowl?"

Mu Xiu's hands shook at the sound and almost poured the soup onto the stove.

"You walk without making a sound, people are scary and scared to death, you know!" Mu Xiu turned around, didn't raise her head, she said unceremoniously, and when she raised her head, she found that it was Lu Yuan, and not only did she regret it in her heart, would she scold a potential customer away like this......

"It's so timid." Lu Yuan replied expressionlessly.

"What did you just say?" Mu Xiu suddenly reacted, and she looked at Lu Yuan with her eyes shining.

"I said you were so timid!"

"It's not this sentence, it's the previous sentence!"

"How much is your bowl??"

"A dollar!" Mu Xiu replied with a full of anger!

Lu Yuan: "......"

"Bring me a bowl." Lu Yuan took out a piece of money and handed it to Mu Xiu, and then raised the enamel jar in his hand.

Mu Xiu took the enamel jar, filled the enamel jar, handed it to Lu Yuan, and said with a smile: "Didn't you give an extra dollar at noon?" That's offset. ”

After listening to Mu Xiu's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect this little girl who was dressed in such tatters to be not greedy for money at all.

Lu Yuan put a dollar on the stove, picked up the enamel jar, and replied in a light tone: "This enamel jar is big, and it has two bowls on top." ”

After saying that, he strode away.
