Chapter 76: Zhang Cuihua made a bad move
Mu Jiuhao wanted to say a please, but he had already taken care of this matter, and he could only manage it to the end.
"Say, what's the matter, I'm not like you to have someone to support, I want to support my family."
"I found out that my eldest brother not only went to the casino, but also went to the kiln, do you think I should stab my father about this as well?"
"Aren't you men all like that? A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, it is normal for him to go to the kiln. ”
Lin Baosheng slurred, "That...... My big brother...... Probably sick...... I often go to Dr. Chen's clinic, and I heard that you are quite familiar with Dr. Chen...... Can you help me ask if he has any disease? ”
Mu Jiu was dumbfounded, such an ugly thing told her a girl, is it really good!
"My eldest brother has no children yet, and if he really has that disease, my father will definitely not give him his property. Don't worry, I won't kill him, I'll still give him a little money so that he can live well. ”
Mu Jiu was in no mood to listen to his family's secrets, "Are you embarrassed to let a girl check it out?" ”
"I'll give you money."
Mu Jiu became interested, "How much?" ”
Now she is short of money!
Lin Baosheng was speechless, "This should have been done by you, I agreed that you would help me ......"
"Stop, stop, I don't have money to do things, what do you like."
"Ten taels."
Mu Jiu turned around and left.
"Twenty taels."
Mu Jiu's pace quickened.
"Fifty taels."
Only then did Mu Jiu stop, turned around and stretched out his slap towards Lin Baosheng, "Pay the money first and then do the work." ”
Lin Baosheng took a silver ticket of fifty taels, "You are so ruthless!" That's half a month's worth of living for me. ”
Mu Jiucai didn't listen to his complaints, and pulled Lin Yuebai to the low slope, working hard to collect medicinal materials.
Lin Baosheng couldn't inquire, as a doctor, he should keep some special patients confidential, just like the little couple last time.
She wouldn't ask Dr. Chen, but she was a miracle doctor, so she could see it.
Mu Jiu, Lin Baosheng and everyone didn't pay attention, at the corner of a house on the edge of the village, Zeng secretly drilled out a head, only glanced at this side, and then shrank back.
……
Lin Yuebai was very curious, but she didn't ask everything, several times Mu Jiu saw her open her mouth, but she didn't dare to ask.
Mu Jiu is not a person who talks a lot, he knows everything when he asks, and if he doesn't ask, he treats it as if he didn't see it, and bows his head to work.
The weather is getting colder, and there are fewer herbs to collect.
When he went home in the evening, Mu Jiu harvested a basket full of medicinal herbs.
Since Lin 15 made it clear that Mu Hongli was his apprentice, Mu Hongli went to his yard every day to practice kung fu.
When Mu Jiu poured out the medicinal herbs, he came back.
"Sister!"
Mu Hongli was very sticky to Mu Jiu, and when he came up, he helped Mu Jiu work, "Today, the master praised me again." ”
"Well, yes."
"Sister, are you a little sincere?"
"It's very top-notch."
Mu Hongli pouted, "Hmph! ”
"Haha......"
It's okay to tease the little things, and the days are very interesting.
"What are you two laughing at?" Li Xiaotao dragged her tired body back.
Without breathing, I went to the kitchen and started cooking dinner.
The lady did not specifically stipulate who would cook dinner, and whoever was busy first would do it, but most of it was done by Mu Hongli, an "idler".
Mu Jiu smiled, "Mother, laughing at Manulife is amazing." ”
Li Xiaotao, "Don't be ashamed, how can you sisters and brothers boast to each other like this." ”
Mu Hongli coquettishly, "Mother, look at what you said, it seems that I am very bad with my sister, you are blessed to raise such an excellent child as me and my sister." ”
Li Xiaotao was also amused, and Mu Hongli's funny personality didn't know who to follow.
With Mu Hongli here, the laughter and laughter of their mothers are always indispensable.
Li Xiaotao said again, "Don't be ashamed!" ”
Mu Hongli just said that Nunu mouthed, and he didn't reply anything.
Li Xiaotao's character is like this, and if she is modest, she is easy to feel inferior.
But now Li Xiaotao can be strong, which has made the sister and brother very satisfied.
"Jiu'er, I discussed with Aunt Jiu, when the late rice is harvested, we will go to the town to help the big families wash their clothes, and we can earn two copper plates a day."
At present, the harvest of late rice has begun, and when it is finished, the wages due to the forest landowners will have to be paid.
Li Xiaotao was full of thinking about making money to raise her children, and she made a daily income at sunrise, but she didn't notice that Mu Jiu's small treasury was quietly expanding.
Mu Jiu disagreed, "Mother, the new house hasn't been sorted out yet, so don't go out." ”
Li Xiaotao thought about it, so she didn't insist, "Success!" ”
This is what Mu Jiu is most satisfied with, Li Xiaotao knows where his weaknesses are, and he will leave everything to Mu Jiu.
"Wait a few days for me to sell these medicinal herbs, let's buy a few more bricks to fence off the rest of the wasteland, mother, let's open up the wasteland and plant some vegetables in it."
"Okay, my mother is the best worker."
Mu Jiuxin, Li Xiaotao's hands and feet are neat, after her careful recuperation during this time, her complexion is ruddy and healthy, and she is more energetic in her work.
"When we have the money, we will buy some fields and a cow......"
Li Xiaotao just listened to it, and felt that the future was bright, which was something she didn't dare to think of when she was in the Mu family before!
The mother is talking and laughing and planning the future days, and I feel unprecedented happiness.
And Mu Rongguang's house is gloomy.
Mu Rongguang sat on the main seat, waiting for Zhang Cuihua to prepare the meal.
Mu Qiaosheng held a book and sat on the bench against the wall, but he didn't know if he had read it, and he didn't turn a page for a long time.
Mu Hongsheng was also holding a book, but he shook his head, muttered, and was reading very seriously.
Mu Qiaoyong squatted in the corner of the wall, with bandages on his hands, and his eyes were glazed.
Zhang Xiuxiu didn't have to work if she got Mu Rongguang, but seeing that her family was like this, it was not easy to sit and wait for food, so she went to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Mu moved a small bench and sat at the door of the kitchen, monitoring whether the people inside were stealing food.
Mu Liufu sat under the tree in the courtyard as always, his eyes gloomy.
After a long time, Mu Rongguang began to speak, "Other people's families started harvesting late rice two days ago, and our family will start tomorrow." ”
Mu Hongsheng was the first to speak, "Grandpa, I'm going to take the exam next year." ”
The implication is that it is important to study, and you can do it yourself when you harvest the rice.
Mu Qiaosheng echoed, "When Hongsheng takes the Xiucai exam, there will be two Xiucai in our family, and I don't know how many people will come to slap us up, and when the time comes, we will drive Mu Jiu out of Mujia Village, and the house will be ours." ”
During this time, I saw that the Mu Jiu family's house was built, although it was not as grand as theirs, but the layout was very good.
It's mostly a new house!
He also has a youngest son, Mu Hongyang, who will be married next year.
With a new house and a talented brother, you will definitely be able to find a good family.
Mu Qiaosheng was calculating, Mu Hongsheng also calculated Mu Jiu's house in his heart, and then Mu Qiaosheng's words said, "Grandpa, what my father said makes sense, when Mu Jiu is driven away, the house will naturally fall into our hands, and my child will be born in a few months, just waiting to live in a new house to regenerate, add Ding to the new house, I am a showman again, how happy I am!" ”
Mu Qiaosheng looked displeased, the eldest son had already married, but the younger son Mu Hongyang, who lived and studied in the town with Mu Qiao, must be married to the daughter of a rich family in the town, and he couldn't live without a separate house.
He said to Mu Hongsheng in a consultative tone, "Hongsheng, let the house be married to your younger brother first, and when you take the exam, you will set up a few tables of wine, and the money to build a new house will come out, anyway, Mu Jiu bought a very wide land, and then build a new house next to it, and you and Hongyang can live in a new house." ”
Mu Hongsheng was dissatisfied with his father's partiality, but he didn't dare to talk back to him openly, and after a change of thought, he nodded, "Daddy can't be partial, you must build me an identical new house." ”
Mu Qiaosheng thought about how much money he would get, but he agreed first, "Cheng, Dad will definitely do it." ”
The father and son were daydreaming, and the topic was getting farther and farther away, completely ignoring Mu Rongguang's ugly face.
Mu Rongguang coughed several times before the father and son noticed him.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
"Now we will harvest the late rice first, in case the weather becomes cold and rains, the millet will rot in the field."
Mu Hongsheng pretended to be stupid and began not to answer.
Mu Qiao sulked for a long time, "If only the second child's hand hadn't been injured." ”
It's not that there is not even a person who works, especially in the past few days, seeing Mu Qiaoyong doing nothing at home every day and spending medical expenses, he feels that it is a waste of money to raise a waste of people, but there is no way, Mu Rongguang said, if Mu Qiaoyong is not cured, there will be no free labor in their family in the future, and they must coax people well.
Mu Rongguang, "It's really not okay to let Cuihua and Xiuxiu go." ”
These words were heard by Zhang Cuihua, who came in with the dishes in the hall, and her face suddenly became long, and her eyes rolled, "Dad, we can call the second brother and sister to come back and do it." ”
Mu Rongguang shook his head, "She won't come." ”
Moreover, people now work in the fields of the forest landlord's house every day, and no one can be found.
"Daddy, listen to me, didn't you say you were going to give them some millet before? Let them harvest it themselves, and when the time comes, we will take it home, and we will say that they have actually given them some grain from other fields, and let them harvest it again, and when the harvest is finished, they will not be able to give it a little. ”
Zhang Xiuxiu entered the door and frowned when she listened to her mother-in-law's words, isn't this harmful.
But in this house, she has the least right to speak, put down the dishes and leave, pretending not to hear anything.
Mu Qiaosheng, "That Mu Jiu is dead and dead, do you think she will come?" ”
Zhang Cuihua glanced at Mu Qiaoyong meaningfully, "One night husband and wife, isn't there a second brother?" I don't believe it, she's such a young woman, she still doesn't want a man......"
"Ahem......" Mu Rongguang coughed and motioned Zhang Cuihua to pay attention to her speech.
Zhang Cuihua, "Although my speech is not good, I can bring the grain back." ”
Others didn't have much hope, but Mu Qiaoyong listened, "Sister-in-law taught me how to do it." ”
He can't let the grain rot in the ground, otherwise his father will eat something in the future.
Zhang Cuihua, "Go to Li Xiaotao at night, she won't do it from you until she ends." ”
Mu Rongguang coughed a few more times, and even Mu Qiaosheng glared at Zhang Cuihua in annoyance, but Mu Qiaoyong said very seriously, "I know, I'll go to her at night." ”
