Mu Cha wrote the documents for the division of the family as quickly as possible, and after asking Mu Rongguang to sign it, he showed it to the clan elders, just waiting for tomorrow dawn to go to the town to seal it, and Mu Jiu's household was over.

But it costs money to stamp the household!

Mu Rongguang was reluctant to spend money, and taking fifty wen was like cutting meat, reluctant to give up, and repeatedly told Mu Cha not to lose it.

Mu Chari ignored him, took fifty wen, and turned around and arranged for someone to escort the clan elder home.

After all, at this time, it was completely dark, and the clan was old, and if he fell somewhere, he would become a sinner, and his position would also sway.

Mu Jiu stood at the door of the ancestral hall with Li Xiaotao in his arms, and apologized and thanked the clan elders one by one.

Mu Hongli did the same, and also followed Mu Jiuyi to bow to those clan elders one by one.

Those clan elders originally liked Mu Rongguang very much, thinking that he was a scholar and fought for the face of the Mu family, but after tonight's incident, their impression of him changed sharply.

can teach such a well-bred child, Li Xiaotao must be a good wife and mother, and she is a good one.

Mu Rongguang can connive at the old woman to bully people to resist, which is really unkind.

It seems that in a few years, when he is old, the identity of the clan elder will have to be considered again, whether to give it to him!

……

The night was dark, Mu Jiu and Mu Hongli supported Li Xiaotao left and right, and slowly walked home.

Mu Hongli still couldn't believe it, "Sister, are we really separated?" ”

Mu Jiu nodded, "Well, in the future, the money we worked hard to earn can be put into our own pockets." ”

"Then my sister is rich, can I buy candy for Manulife?"

"Yes, but don't eat too much, your teeth will break."

"Thank you, sister! Manulife got it! ”

"That's good!"

Listening to the warm conversations of her children, Li Xiaotao felt like a world away.

What Jiu'er said to her came true, did they really break up?

If she was forced to do so, she was unwilling to ask herself to leave the court.

After all, if you have a bad reputation, you won't have a good impact on your children in the future.

Li Xiaotao thought so, and Mu Jiu didn't know, because of this, she only thought about it for a moment and denied the plan to help Li Xiaotao leave the Mu family.

She didn't want Li Xiaotao to regret it and blame her in the future.

The lady walked slowly, and Mrs. Mu followed behind them and scolded all the way.

Fortunately, the three of them can bear it, and it is harmless, let Mrs. Mu scold it, anyway, the people in the village know her virtue, and it is she who is embarrassed.

…

The next day, Mu Jiu got up early in the morning and stayed on the road to the entrance of the village before Mu Cha went to Wanbao Town.

When Mu Cha and Mu Qiaoming arrived at the intersection, they greeted them, "Grandpa Li Zheng is early." ”

"Jiu'er is early, did you sleep well last night?"

Mu Jiu smiled helplessly, "Okay." ”

"Don't cover for your ignorant grandmother, who she is, I don't know, I'm afraid I didn't toss you a lot last night!"

"Grandpa Lizheng, really not, grandpa didn't know what to say to grandma last night, she stopped when she got home."

"That's good."

Seeing that there was no one around, Mu Jiu took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Mu Cha, "Grandpa Lizheng, this is Jiu'er's usual chopping wood to help people collect herbs and save them, thank you Grandpa Lizheng for your help last night." ”

Mucha pretended to be angry, "What are you doing here!" Am I Mucha that kind of person? If it weren't for your grandfather going too far, I wouldn't have intervened in this matter! ”

"Grandpa Lizheng, what did you say, Jiu'er knows that you are a good person, but you go to the town to stamp or something, you have to invite someone to drink tea, Jiu'er can't let you pay out of your own pocket."

The fifty wen given by Mu Rongguang is just paper and pen money for stamping documents, and there is not a penny left, so why invite someone to drink tea?

As for the monthly money of Danglizheng, the expenses for his grandson's education every month are not enough.

Fortunately, Dangli can be the same as Xiucai, he doesn't have to pay taxes to the imperial court, and he can sell some surplus grain for some money.

She got four taels of silver for selling medicinal herbs, and half of it was given to Lin Changsheng, so she only had two taels left, and gave Li Banxian one tael, and the remaining one or two had to be sent over in a few days.

The two hundred texts still appropriated Lin Changsheng's share.

Mu Cha glanced at Mu Jiu deeply and accepted the money, "Then I won't be polite to you, and I will come to grandpa if I have something to do in the future, and grandpa will call the shots for you." ”

"Jiu'er really has something to trouble grandpa, thank you grandpa in advance here!"

"You! Ghost elf, grandpa has to help if he doesn't help, right? ”

"I won't embarrass grandpa, when grandpa comes back, just hand over the household registration to Jiu'er!"

"No problem!"

Seeing Mu Cha leave, Mu Jiu turned around and left.

After the separation, there are more places to spend money.

Before she reached the door of the house, she saw a bunch of people holding bowls in the distance, standing at the door of her house, drinking porridge and looking inside with relish.

Mu Jiufu, don't you all have to work!

You don't need to look at it, you can imagine it with your toes, and Mrs. Mu is embarrassed by Li Xiaotao inside.

Mu Jiu quickened his pace, walked into the courtyard, and saw Mrs. Mu sitting on the ground crying loudly, "Don't give it!" Just don't give! What has no conscience, you will starve to death! ”

Zhang Cuihua and Mu Liufu sat leisurely on the chairs, gloating with a look of schadenfreude.

Li Xiaotao knelt on the ground, carrying a few tattered clothes in her hands, which were all her belongings!

Mu Hongli stood behind Li Xiaotao, his little face full of anger.

Even Mu Qiaoyong, who has always regarded himself as a filial son, rarely has a gloomy look on his face.

Hehe, Mu Jiu stopped with a smile, she was still worried that Mu Qiaoyong would be controlled by Mu Rongguang in the future, and the opportunity to brainwash Mu Qiaoyong would come!

Mrs. Mu howled for a while, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she stopped by herself.

Mu Qiaoyong immediately knelt down and crawled to her side, begging, "Mother, why don't you give us a few catties of food and take it away, otherwise what will we eat these days?" ”

"You die! You are an unfilial son, your daughter-in-law is not filial and wants to divide the family, you don't care, now you can do whatever you love, I will treat it as if I have never given birth to your son! ”

"Mother! You can divide a few pounds, Manulife is still small, you can't just eat wild vegetables. ”

"Nope!"

Mu Qiaoyong kowtowed to Mrs. Mu, but to no avail, Mrs. Mu was like a stone statue, unmoved.

Mu Jiu walked past them into the backyard and resisted the tattered quilt on the bed.

Mu Qiao had the courage not to fight and scolded her, "What are you going to do! ”

"Last night my grandfather said that he wanted to rent the empty house of Aunt Jiu's family, but now it seems impossible, I remember that there is a cave on the low slope, and we moved there to live for a while."

Li Xiaotao, who was still kneeling at a loss, suddenly brightened her eyes, and also went to the backyard, hugged her quilt with one hand, and followed behind Mu Jiu.

Mu Jiu, "......"

She is pretending, but Li Xiaotao really wants to go to the cave to live!

Mu Qiaoyong also knelt in front of Mrs. Mu and begged vigorously, "Mother, please, is it good to borrow, how many catties to borrow?" ”

"What do you take back?" Mrs. Mu was determined not to give it.

"I ...... Didn't Dad say that the three brothers each got five acres of land......"

"Don't even think about it! Over my dead body! ”

Mu Jiu was too lazy to watch the big drama of the two of them, so he hugged the quilt and left.

While it's still early, Aunt Mu Jiu hasn't gone out yet, so I'll go and tell her first, as for the rent, the farmer's two broken thatched huts can't cost a few dollars, and she can still pay it.

The two walked out of the door, and when they saw the lively crowd, they pointed at Mrs. Mu.

"Pan'er is a thousand days, I have never seen someone who wants to force his son to death!"

"You're wrong, the eldest and third are her sons, but the second is not!"

"I think so too!"

"O cave! I heard that there are ghost ...... inside."

"This old lady is really poisonous, no, I will stay away from this family in the future, so as not to be harmed by this family one day."

"Come on, you're like that, it's useless for people to hurt you!"

"Then it's useless for them to kill the second family! If the second family is killed, no one will give them farm work, and they are not so ruthless. ”

"It makes sense, I will see this family stay away in the future."

When Zhang Cuihua and Mu Liufu heard those remarks, they bowed their heads and went back to the house.

Mu Hongli silently followed behind Mu Jiu, "Sister, I'll help you." ”

"No, my mother's hand is not good yet, you can help her get it."

"Mother, I'll help you get it, just take a few clothes."

Li Xiaotao hesitated, handed the quilt to Mu Hongli, and said worriedly, "Jiu'er, I'll go to Grandpa Lizheng's house to borrow a fire fold later, the cave is very damp, burn the fire first." ”

Mu Jiu quickened his pace and said, "Mother, you really want to live in a cave, I just said casually, let's go quickly, lest Aunt Jiu go out, we can't find it." ”

"But...... We don't have rent for Aunt Nine! Li Xiaotao was so sad that she almost choked.

"It's okay, Aunt Jiu is a reasonable person, let's talk to her, it's not too late to give it when we have it."

"It's okay, the autumn harvest will be in a while, and when the autumn harvest knocks down the portion of grain that belongs to our second room, we can sell it for some money."

Li Xiaotao is right to be so optimistic.

Mu Jiu didn't want to tell her that with Mrs. Mu's temperament, if she wanted to take down those grains, the possibility was almost zero.

But she can make money from other things, much more than the value of those grains.

……

Aunt Mu Jiu's husband was arrested a few years ago to fight and never came back, and gradually, people in the village who wanted to bully her began to call her a widow.

Her husband is the only seedling in the family, and her in-laws are sick, and her father-in-law died after a year or two, leaving only a sick mother-in-law and a pair of young children.

Orphans and widows are often bullied by the villagers, so they rarely interact with the villagers.

When Mu Jiu and Li Xiaotao went, they were just about to go to the field to harvest peanuts.

Mu Jiu probably said what happened last night, and expressed his intentions, "Aunt Jiu, I hope you can be accommodating for a few days, and I will definitely make up the rent to you." ”

Aunt Mu Jiu sighed, she was also a hard-working person at the end of the world, "It's not easy for you, you live first, and then you will give it later, forget if you don't, but my mother-in-law is not in good health, I just hope you don't disturb her." ”

It seems that who doesn't like Mrs. Mu's noisy temperament!

"Thank you, Aunt Jiu, Jiu'er will definitely not bring the family affairs here, and the rent will definitely be given in a few days."
