Mu Jiuxiu's eyes were cold, and he said in a slightly self-deprecating tone, "Grandma, we are a family, and our uncle and uncle are both scholars, so we are also literate people." ”

Mrs. Mu was furious, "Who is a family with you......"

After speaking, Mrs. Mu was shocked to say the wrong thing, and hurriedly closed her mouth and glared at Mu Jiu angrily.

If eyes can kill, Mu Jiu thought, she has died thousands of times.

The words have been spoken, and it is difficult to collect them.

Li Xiaotao stared at Mrs. Mu in disbelief, her expression was sad, and it took a long time before she recovered, and after a thousand turns, she was even more sad that it was difficult to recover.

Her voice was full of desperation, "Mother! You said that the eldest brother and the younger brother-in-law will take good care of my children, and let Qiao Yong and I take care of all the farm work, so that they can study with peace of mind, and let our family live a good life when they have a good life in the future......"

Mrs. Mu secretly scolded and interrupted Li Xiaotao, "Aren't you still good, I gave you rice today!" ”

"But everyone else has rice to eat every day, but we don't have it in the second room!"

As soon as Li Xiaotao's words came out, even Mu Jiu was shocked.

She didn't expect Li Xiaotao to react so much.

At least Li Xiaotao gave her the impression of being weak before.

"That's because you are stupid in the second room, no one reads, and you can't bring any glory to our Mu family, why do you eat!" Mrs. Mu said it rightly.

But they completely forgot that if no one farmed, where would the rice come from?

The big house and the third room never work, even if they do some work, it is all their own private work, and they collect the money they earn, and only the money earned by the second room, no matter how much, is confiscated.

Li Xiaotao was stupid, and began to be led by Mrs. Mu's nose, and she also felt that Mrs. Mu was reasonable.

After all, in this era, only reading is the most glorious.

Mu Jiu's eyes were cold, and he helped Li Xiaotao up, "Grandma said that we are not a family, why do we have to help your family?" ”

Mrs. Mu turned her face and didn't admit what she had just said, "Who said that!" I didn't say that! We are a family and you are my granddaughter! Your father is my son who was born in October! We are family! ”

"Then why doesn't Grandpa read to us in the second room!"

"You are not reading material, you are only worthy of being a mud leg!"

"My grandparents didn't let my brother and I go to school, so how did they know we couldn't? I'm a person blessed by the Bodhisattva, maybe my sister and brother are better at reading than my uncle and third uncle! ”

Mrs. Mu wanted to make fun of Mu Jiu for talking big things, but she was worried that Mu Jiu was endlessly clamoring to study, so she was silent.

Besides, she didn't dare to offend the Bodhisattva!

Originally, Mu Jiu disdained to scold the Mu family like a shrew, and talk about it.

But some people, if you don't plug her throat, she can keep pestering you and annoying the person.

Mrs. Mu couldn't answer Mu Jiu's words, so she sat down on the ground and began to splash, "Ouch! Why is my life so miserable! Why did you get such an unfilial daughter-in-law! This is to force my wife to death! ”

At this time, the villagers happened to go to work in the field at noon, some people passed in front of the Mu family, saw the movement inside, simply put the hoe down, stood at the door, stretched their necks to look inside, and some even walked into the courtyard of the Mu family with a hippie smile, and it was not a big deal to see the excitement.

Mu Jiu whispered to Li Xiaotao, "Mother, let's kneel too, don't give her an unfilial hat." ”

After speaking, the two knelt down together in front of Mrs. Mu.

Mrs. Mu slammed her hand on the ground to express her anger, "What kind of sin my wife has created!" Daughters-in-law and granddaughters are not filial! ”

Mu Jiu quietly glanced back at the lively crowd, and deliberately amplified his voice, "If grandma doesn't like Jiu'er, you can say it clearly, why do you want to embarrass your mother, your mother has worked hard and took care of all the work in the family, even if you don't like your mother anymore, you can't hurt your mother like this!" ”

Everyone lives in the same village, and they know each other who they are.

The people who eat melons believe in Mu Jiu's words even more, and Mrs. Mu is making trouble for Li Xiaotao unreasonably.

However, that is the Mu family's business, what does it have to do with them?

They only watch the excitement, they don't stand in line, there is no need to offend the strong for the sake of a weak?

That's human nature!

"You cheap hoof, you talk back when the old man speaks, it's too unfilial!"

Mu Jiu, "......"

The law of the Great Xia Dynasty is cloudy: those who are unfilial will never enter the court.

There are hundreds of subdivisions of the various related laws.

If a big hat of unfilial piety is buttoned down, no matter how big it is, it will be wrong!

Mu Jiu approached Mrs. Mu and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Grandma, if you cry for a while, the Mu family's face will be lost, what do you think Grandpa will do?" ”

Mrs. Mu stood up stubbornly, her movements were not like an old lady!

"I'm going to chop wood!" Mu Jiu also stood up and took the opportunity to leave, so as not to let Mrs. Mu make endless trouble.

"Jiu'er, don't go first, my mother has something to say to you!"

Mu Jiu unconsciously showed a smile.

She's victorious!

This farce seems to be fruitless, but Li Xiaotao's heart began to tilt towards her, and her cowardly personality faintly tended to be tough!

So happy!

"Okay mother!"

Mu Jiu took the initiative to pull Li Xiaotao's hand, and the two went to the backyard.

Mrs. Mu glared angrily, "Don't go!" Go to work! ”

Get!

Is this grandma?

Compared with Zhou Papi, it is even better!

Mu Jiu let go of Li Xiaotao, went to the kitchen and rushed out with a sickle.

"You ......" Mrs. Mu sat down on the ground, "Rebel!" You actually want to kill the old lady! ”

Mu Jiu, "......"

She just felt that it was inconvenient to talk at home, and wanted to pull Li Xiaotao to the low slope and talk while chopping wood!

Suddenly, she didn't want to chop wood, the firewood she cut was enough to support their separation, as for what would happen to the Mu family after the separation?

It's none of her business!

"Grandma, you're sick! Why do you think your granddaughter wants to kill you? Didn't you arrange for me to go and chop wood every day? How can I cut without a sickle? It's a pity that the uncle and the third uncle want to study, and it costs money, otherwise they will have the money to ask you to take a look at Langzhong, what is the problem, don't break your brain one day, and charge our mother and wife for unfilial piety! ”

After Mu Jiu finished speaking, he pulled Li Xiaotao and walked towards the gate.

Approaching the people who were eating melons, he didn't forget to bow and said politely, "I'm sorry, I made everyone laugh today, my grandmother has been in a bad mood recently." ”

Regardless of those people's complicated eyes, he pulled Li Xiaotao and left.

After taking a few steps, I heard the whispers of those people.

"Hey, Mu Rongguang's heart has grown to his back! The family relied on the second child to eat, and they also bullied the second child! ”

"Isn't it? In case Mu Qiaoyong dies one day, it is estimated that the family will starve to death! ”

"It's just that I pity Jiu'er and Manulife, why are they so unlucky to be such a family!"

Hearing these people's one-sided discussions, Mu Jiu smiled.

These people will not stand up for her, but there is a force called the power of public opinion.

As long as these people subconsciously feel that the Mu family is sorry for her, if they break up in the future, they will also subconsciously feel that the Mu family has done something excessive.

The menacing is far less terrible than the encroachment of Wen Tun, and the Mu family, who has lost its credibility, wants to use unfilial piety to balance her, and it depends on whether the villagers pay for it.

……

In autumn, the temperature varies greatly, and at night it is so cold that you feel cold when you wear two clothes, but during the day, the sun is so hot that you can bake a person into a patty.

The mother and daughter walked on the path at the entrance of the village, so hot that Mu Jiuzhi used the palm of his hand as a fan, and kept fanning.

The seedlings at the entrance of the village began to tassel, and in another month, the rice ripening season was golden and bright, and it was called beautiful!

Li Xiaotao still had palpitations, "Jiu'er, I bumped into your grandma just now." ”

Mu Jiu nodded, "Mother, in order not to be sold to the forest landlord for burial, you have to hold on!" ”

The word funeral stimulated Li Xiaotao fiercely.

But no, if you really make a concubine for the forest landlord, your life will be over, what is the difference between it and a funeral?

Li Xiaotao took a hard breath, "Jiu'er is right, my mother must stick to her attitude and resolutely can't let grandma sell you to the forest landlord." ”

"What if grandma sues you for unfilial piety?" What Mu Jiu was most worried about was this.

The Great Xia Dynasty also had a punishment for unfilial piety: the heaviest punishment was chopping, that is, how many catties were born, how much meat was taken out of the unfilial son, and returned to the elderly, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law referred to this law, and the husband shared it.

Li Xiaotao disagreed, and her tone was relaxed, "Whether you are filial or not is not your grandmother alone, the official master will also collect the confessions of the whole village, if most people say that I am not filial, I will be guilty." ”

"Mother!" Mu Jiu's eyes wet.

She always thought that Li Xiaotao was very weak, but now it seems that she is not.

In the past, Li Xiaotao was just brainwashed, thinking that only by clinging to the Mu family and their sisters and brothers could they have a future, so they would tolerate it everywhere.

However, today I found out that I had been deceived, and the Mu family not only would not give their sisters and brothers a future, but they might also trap their sisters and brothers.

Mu Jiu had a feeling: Li Xiaotao's personality was going to change one hundred and eighty degrees.

Li Xiaotao sighed, "It's my mother's fault, in the past few years, my mother has been holding back, just hoping that your grandmother can ask you for a good family business, you don't have to be so bitter in the second half of your life, who knows your grandma's ......"

Li Xiaotao choked up and couldn't continue.

Mu Jiu clenched Li Xiaotao's hand, gave her strength, and comforted her, "Mother! Jiu'er remembered that the Bodhisattva said that the most reliable thing in a person's life is himself, and his father's and mother's things are all those of his brother and brother, and he can take back what his husband gives him at any time! Only what you have is the strongest! ”

"That Jiu'er should listen to the Bodhisattva's words well, and you will do whatever she tells you to do.

"What if the Bodhisattva asks me to split up?"

Mu Jiu clearly saw that Li Xiaotao's thin body shook suddenly, and wanted to say something, but in the end he just opened his mouth and looked at Mu Jiu without speaking.

Mu Jiu knew that Li Xiaotao never dared to think about splitting up the family, and it took time to digest.

For a long time, when Mu Jiu thought that Li Xiaotao was stunned, Li Xiaotao suddenly looked around nervously, pulled Mu Jiu and whispered, "Jiu'er, my parents are here, and I don't separate the family, so I can't say such things again in the future." ”
