Mu Jiu nodded, "I'm not sure either, but it's a bit like." ”

Li Xiaotao turned around excitedly and knelt down facing the door, "Thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva for saving the suffering, thank you for saving my Jiu'er!" ”

"But mother, the Bodhisattva is very busy, her old man can save me once, not necessarily many times!"

"What should I do?" Li Xiaotao was anxious, and even kowtowed a few times in the direction outside the door, "I hope the Bodhisattva will bless my Jiu'er and be safe and secure for the rest of his life." ”

Mu Jiu's concept is different, if worshipping God is useful, the world will already be harmonious, and she will still have a chance to be reborn here?

But these words were useless to Li Xiaotao, she had to use a roundabout method, "Mother, the Bodhisattva said that the parents of the body and skin, I can't commit suicide in the future, I have to be kind to myself, and everything else is based on my grandparents first, otherwise she won't bless me in the future." ”

Mu Jiu didn't feel any pressure at all when he said these words, anyway, Li Xiaotao couldn't go to the temple to ask the Bodhisattva if these words were true.

Li Xiaotao was skeptical, "Really? ”

"Mother, didn't you notice that since I woke up in the river, I have changed a lot, and I have done it according to the instructions of the Bodhisattva!"

Li Xiaotao pondered for a long time, and hugged Mu Jiu excitedly, "My Jiu'er is a blessed person, with the blessing of the Bodhisattva, what do you want to do in the future, my mother supports you, however, you also have to consider your grandparents, you can't be unfilial." ”

Mu Jiu knew that Li Xiaotao was deeply ingrained by Mu Rongguang's brainwashing, and it was not a matter of time and a half to want to change.

Being able to trust her words to support her ideas is already a big step forward.

Mu Jiu hugged Li Xiaotao with his hand, rubbed her shoulder, and said coquettishly, "I know my mother, I don't mean that I am unfilial, but I can't be foolish." ”

"You, it's really changed!"

"This is all the Bodhisattva Teaching, Bodhisattva bless!"

To put it mildly, Mu Jiu simply threw all the pots to the Bodhisattva God, anyway, no one had the ability to find the Bodhisattva to confirm.

"Then I will go to the temple on the fifteenth day of the new year to burn incense for the Bodhisattva! Thanks to the Bodhisattva for saving Jiu'er! ”

"That mother will have to think more about me and Manulife in the future, and you can't listen to grandma for everything, otherwise if grandma sells me that day, you will still count the money stupidly."

"Jiu'er! Can't say that, grandma won't land. ”

"Before that, Mu Liufu got into trouble and pushed me out to take the blame!"

The topic came back again, and Li Xiaotao was silent for a long time.

Mu Jiu didn't stimulate her anymore, she didn't want to hurry, and she took her time for the rest.

……

The morning breeze is blowing, and the cold dew of early autumn is getting heavier.

On the low slope at the edge of the village, the leaves are still green.

Mu Jiu used a sickle to pat off the dew on the blades of grass, and then walked forward, so as not to wet his shoes with the dew and get cold.

Unexpectedly, under the familiar tree, a black figure stood tall.

The morning light was bright, evenly hitting the young man's face, reflecting the young man's sun-tanned face extraordinarily three-dimensional.

A pair of blazing eyes, as if they had been washed by the morning dew, clean without a trace of impurities.

A slightly thin but healthy body, leaning against a tree at will, showing a bit of lazy demeanor.

What a handsome and beautiful boy!

Mu Jiu was stunned, stopped, realized something for a while, his face was slightly gloomy, he quickened his pace to the bottom of the tree, and handed the one or two pieces of silver he was carrying to Lin Changsheng, "You take it first, and then divide it later." ”

Lin Changsheng didn't answer, "I don't want it, you keep it for yourself." Daddy said...... If a girl does not have a dowry, she will be looked down upon. ”

Mu Jiu, "......"

What with what!

She hasn't had a partner yet, okay!

In the previous life, the emperor intended to give her to the third prince as a side concubine, but the queen mother was the prince, and no one could convince anyone, plus the grandfather said that the girl was not in a hurry to marry, and she had to choose well, so she kept dragging it out, coming and going, and became an old girl until she was twenty years old, and then there was no more.

At first glance, Lin Changsheng mentioned the dowry, Mu Jiu felt weird, shouldn't this dowry be a worry about his mother's family?

Lin Changsheng saw that Mu Jiu didn't speak, and thought that she was unhappy, so he looked at it carefully, and a touch of red appeared on his dark face, "My father still said...... You save your money yourself and can't let your family know. ”

Mu Jiu raised his forehead, "What else did your father say?" ”

"I didn't ...... No ......."

Mu Jiu pushed the silver forward again, "If you don't accept it, I won't dare to ask you for help in the future." ”

"But ......"

In Mu Jiu's opinion, the young man's honest appearance is actually very cute.

"No, but, anyway, half of the money you earned, you can do it, and since your father said that he can't let my family know, he should know that it's not safe to put it on me, you can help me collect it first, and I'll ask you if I need it later."

Lin Changsheng thought for a while and took the silver, "Cheng, but I didn't do anything, I could only take two copies." ”

"Four copies!"

"Three...... Three copies? ”

Mu Jiu raised his head and looked at Lin Changsheng carefully.

A look of unease welled up on the young man's swarthy face.

I've seen people who fight for a penny and fight to the death, but in order to get a penny less, the only one who can't argue is this young man.

Honest and honest, that heart is so pure that you can't find the slightest flaw.

Lin Changsheng: "Actually...... Actually, I have a lot of bad ones. ”

Mu Jiu, "......"

Wei Mao had a feeling that Lin Changsheng had seen through his thoughts.

However, Lin Changsheng was standing in front of her, still looking so honest, how could he be so black-bellied?

Mu Jiu shook off the thoughts that flashed in his mind, "I'll go to work first." ”

"I'll help you."

"No, I can do it myself."

Lin Changsheng still wanted to say something, but he heard a sound from the edge of the low slope from a distance.

Without saying a word, the sturdy body drilled into the tree, and the figure disappeared.

……

In the crisp autumn weather, the moisture on the branches gradually decreased, and the late rice was planted, and the villagers who had not worked for the time being came up to the mountains to cut firewood, preparing enough firewood before winter, so as not to freeze in winter.

Every year, the small branches on the low slope are cut clean, and if you want to cut more firewood, you have to enter the mountains that are connected to the low slope.

However, there are tigers and wolves in the mountains, and only the very experienced old hunters dare to go in a little bit, and they must go out of the mountains before dark, otherwise, whether they can see the next day's sun must be unknown.

Mu Jiu sat on the low slope, looking at the vast mountains in a daze with a sea of fog.

The more inaccessible the mountains, the more treasures there are, and if she can find a century-old Ganoderma lucidum, she can earn enough capital for the development she wants.

"Jiu'er?"

A familiar voice came, attracting Mu Jiu's attention.

Mu Jiu followed the prestige, only to see Zhang Xiuxiu panting and climbing up from the other side of the low slope.

Zhang Xiuxiu helped Mu Jiu, she always kept it in mind, stood up and greeted her, "Sister-in-law in the lobby? ”

Zhang Xiuxiu looked anxious, looked around, and confirmed that there was no one, so she cautiously approached Mu Jiu and reminded her, "Jiu'er, I just heard my mother's grandmother secretly saying that she wants to sell you to the forest landlord as a concubine." ”

Forest landowners?

Mu Liufu's concubine Lin Baosheng's father, an old man in his early fifties!

On the day of Mu Liufu's accident, Aunt Lin was called by her Mu Jiu, and Mrs. Mu and Zhang Cuihua both knew.

But from beginning to end, only Mrs. Mu was embarrassed and blamed her, and as Mu Liufu's mother-in-law, Zhang Cuihua didn't move at all, and she was so quiet that she didn't look like a mother-in-law.

She kept wondering why Zhang Cuihua didn't come to scold her, but before she could figure it out, she put a big move on her here.

Hehe!

Sold to the forest landlord as a concubine, they can't figure it out!

Zhang Xiuxiu saw that Mu Jiu was silent for a long time, and was anxious, "Jiu'er, don't be stupid, you answer sister-in-law, I'm in a hurry!" ”

Mu Jiu gave Zhang Xiuxiu a reassuring look, "It's okay, the sun is poisonous, sister-in-law will go back first." ”

"Can I rest assured? In the past, it was okay for your grandparents to treat you badly, in the end you didn't die, and your reputation was not damaged, but today, I saw with my own eyes that my grandmother accepted the bride price from the forest landlord! ”

Mu Jiu's eyes were a little more probing, and he looked at Zhang Xiuxiu seriously.

If the Mu family is a wolf's den, then Zhang Xiuxiu is the only clear stream in this wolf's den.

The grace of a meal, Zhang Xiuxiu, who has not yet taken it seriously, thanked him.

Mu Jiu bowed to Zhang Xiuxiu, "Thank you, sister-in-law, Jiu'er knows in her heart, you really have to go back, so as not to hurt the child in your belly." ”

Zhang Xiuxiu was stunned, "Child? ”

"More than a month."

"I'll just say that this month's menstrual affairs have been delayed, it turns out that ......" Zhang Xiuxiu was overjoyed, completely ignoring why Mu Jiu could see through her pregnancy at a glance.

"The first three months are a dangerous period, and the sister-in-law in the lobby should be careful."

"Uh-huh! I got it, I'll be careful! ”

Zhang Xiuxiu carefully moved her broken steps.

Seeing Mu Jiu's head in a cold sweat: It's not that exaggerated!

But it's always right to be careful, and Mu Jiu didn't bother to correct Zhang Xiuxiu.

Zhang Xiuxiu walked not far away, and looked back worriedly, "Jiu'er, you must think of a way!" Although that old man is rich, marrying him is tantamount to being a slave! ”

"Got it! Be careful yourself! ”

Mu Jiu sat down against the big tree again, deep in thought.

She was still worried that she couldn't find a good opportunity to make Li Xiaotao die for Mu Jiu, but now it was an opportunity.

During this time, she saw that Li Xiaotao did not have the heart to resist, but whenever Li Xiaotao had some ideas, Mu Qiaoyong blew the wind in Li Xiaotao's ears, using men as the sky, and the wife should listen to her husband's various crooked reasoning, and pulled Li Xiaotao back to the road of foolishness and filial piety.

This time, she wants to be the one who sways Li Xiaotao's thoughts!

……

Because there are many people chopping firewood these days, it is not good for Mu Jiu to contact Lin Changsheng again, and Lin Changsheng does not dare to contact Mu Jiu easily, so as not to damage Mu Jiu's reputation, so every day, Mu Jiu's firewood is really do-it-yourself, and he has to pick it back after chopping.

It's a pity that her small body is too weak, and she can only pick a little bit at a time, and leave the rest on the low slope to dry, and then pick it back when it is lighter.

Before Zhang Xiuxiu left, Mu Jiu picked up firewood and walked to the village.

Her small body was too small, and the flat shoulder on her shoulders was wobbly, threatening to fall down at any moment.

Piling firewood on the wall outside the courtyard, Mu Jiu walked into the house with a weak heart.
