Chapter Ninety-Five: Don't Forget to Calculate
Mingyue brought water, asked everyone to wash their hands and wipe their sweat, then poured a bowl of herbal tea and sat in the shade in front of the cave house to rest.
Ming Wenli looked at the plum blossom piles in front of him, and asked curiously towards Mingyue, "Tossing so many tricks, what kind of skills do you want to practice?" ”
Mingyue didn't answer the fourth uncle's words, but glanced at Li Yun and hesitated whether to say it.
Li Yun understood what Mingyue meant, and he was afraid of himself, so he didn't say anything, so he spoke for Mingyue, "She wants to learn light skills, and it just so happens that I can teach her." ”
Ming Wenli glanced at Li Yun with an inquiring look in his eyes, and finally didn't say anything, and continued to drink the herbal tea in his hand.
Seeing that it was not early, Ming Wenli talked to Mingyue for a while, then got up and said, "It's time for me to go down the mountain, by the way, I almost forgot about business, I came to tell you, I'm afraid that you will not be able to hide the matter of being kicked out of the Li family, when I was working in the new house today, I have heard someone talking, just try to avoid our Ming family, I estimate that the family will know soon, you have to think about how to deal with it." ”
Mingyue sighed, "I have to know sooner or later, so I'll just go back and tell them myself, so as not to make trouble for the Li family, and it will be even more troublesome." ”
Mingwen replied, "It's okay, then you can go back with me." ”
Mingyue looked at Li Yun with inquiring eyes and asked for Li Yun's opinion, Li Yun said, "Let's go down the mountain and have a look, if it's too late, the fourth uncle will help send Mingyue back." ”
Ming Wenli nodded, and said in his heart that this Li Yun is good to the moon girl now, and he knows that he cares about her, and it is not in vain that the moon girl has always been in love with him, and she has tried her best to marry him.
Mingyue followed the fourth uncle Mingwenli down the mountain, and went straight to the old house of the Ming family, and as soon as she entered the yard, she saw her mother collecting the clothes dried in the yard.
When Xu Jinniang saw Mingyue coming in, she hung all the clothes in her hand on the bamboo pole, came over and grabbed Mingyue's hand, and said happily, "The girl is back?" Then he frowned again, "Why did you come here at this time?" ”
Mingyue replied with a smile, "Come back and see, I'll go back later, brother?" ”
Xu Jinniang said, "In the backyard, I am practicing boxing with Kang'er and Hui'er, and I don't all learn from you, and I don't do that every day." How did the fourth brother come back with Yue'er? ”
Mingyue pulled Xu Jinniang, and while going over to help Xu Jinniang pack up her clothes, she responded, "When we met on the road, we came back together, where is grandma?" ”
Xu Jinniang said, "Your grandmother is in the kitchen, and your grandfather went to the construction site of the new house." ”
Listening to Xu Jinniang's words, Mingyue and Mingwenli couldn't help frowning, if they go over there, I'm afraid that Mingyue won't have to come back and say it herself, this master must already know.
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Jinniang finished speaking, the old man Ming entered the courtyard gate with a dry tobacco pouch, saw the bright moon in the courtyard, spit out a puff of cigarette, and then said, "The moon girl is here, just now, I have something to ask you, did you two get kicked out by the Li family, and do you live in Daliang Mountain now?" ”
"What?" Xu Jinniang's face turned pale in an instant, and she looked at Mingyue with a shocked expression.
At this time, Mrs. Ming also came out in time to join in the fun, "Is this true?" ”
Looking at the wolf-like eyes staring at her in front of her, Mingyue felt that her head was a little explosive, she held her forehead with both hands and rubbed it, so she had to respond, "Li Yun and I have moved out." ”
Old Man Ming sat on the threshold and smoked, listening to Mingyue's words, he snorted coldly, "Move out?" It was spread all over the outside, saying that you were driven out by the Li family, so one person carried a small package. ”
Mrs. Ming thrust her hands into her waist, "I have no opinion that his Li family wants to drive Li Yun, why did my Ming family's daughter just get married and was kicked out of the Li family, hmph, when our Ming family is easy to bully, I have to go to the Li family to ask for an explanation." ”
Xu Jinniang listened to Mrs. Ming's words, her eyes flashed with tears, she looked at Mrs. Ming with a touched face, and said in her mouth, "Yes, we must ask for an explanation for Yue'er, and we will go now." ”
Old Man Ming didn't reply immediately, but sat on the threshold and clicked on the dry tobacco pouch, thinking about it in his heart, this Mingyue has already been married anyway, it is the water that has been spilled, Li Yun is a paralyzed person, and he can't offend Li Qiang for these two people, who has a shop in the town.
After thinking about it, he said, "What are you messing about, who doesn't have any bad troubles, and it's not messy like you?" ”
The old lady Ming's eyes widened, "What is nonsense, our Ming family is beautiful and beautiful to marry the Yue girl, and the dowry has been carried several times, this Li family let the Yue girl pack up a package and drive them out of the Li family, why?" I'm going to go and marry the moon girl to come back, hmph. ”
This has to be calculated, Mrs. Ming is really no one, Mingyue supports her forehead, she knows that her milk will not forget to make wishful thinking at any time, and she has been in the Ming family for so long, and she still can't figure it out.
As soon as the old man heard Mrs. Ming's words, he snorted the head of the cigarette stick on the threshold, stood up, and said, "It's such a reason, this is so good that Mingyue's dowry will be returned." ”
Even Ming Wenli, who had been standing on the side and had not spoken, was a little speechless, shouldn't he go to the Li family to settle accounts and vent his anger to Mingyue, why did it become a dowry? Even if you want to get the dowry back, then Mingyue is going to ask for it, this father's tone, Mingwenli doesn't think that the first two will help Mingyue ask for it.
Xu Jinniang on the side, her face suddenly changed from excited red to frightened white again, and hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you can't help it, if we go to ask for a dowry, we won't be able to go back to the Li family in the future, maybe Li Yun had a conflict with the family, so he was kicked out, maybe he will be taken back to the Li family after a few days." ”
Old Mrs. Ming glanced at Xu Jinniang, "What do you know about the mourning star, this Li Yun was driven out by the Li family, and he is still paralyzed, you still expect the Li family to take him back, dream about you, the fourth, go and call your eldest brother and them back, let's go to the Li family, hum the Li family, see how they follow our Ming family." In Mrs. Ming's heart, this person is a reason, and there are cheap stations and reasons.
Ming Wenli didn't move, looking at Mingyue who was holding his forehead on the side, Mingyue finally raised her head, looked at the old lady Ming in front, and threw out an explosive news, "This Li Yun is not the son of the Li family at all, if you go to the Li family to make trouble, the Li family will ask you for the fifty taels of dowry, do you also plan to return it to the Li family?" Milk still calculate, this dowry is not worth fifty taels of silver, let's go. ”
Xu Jinniang was even more surprised and said, "How can Li Yun not be the son of the Li family?" ”
Mingyue spread her hands and said helplessly, "Mother, how do I know, anyway, it was Mrs. Li who said that Li Yun was not the Li family, so she kicked us out, but don't worry, I have a good time with Li Yun in Daliang Mountain, I don't believe you can take the time to go up and see us." ”
Mingyue was comforting Xu Jinniang, who was frightened, and the old lady Ming and the old man Ming were turning their brains on the side to think about Mingyue's words, thinking about the pros and cons, and finally the old man Ming opened his mouth and came to a conclusion, "Even if this is the case, you can't blame the Li family, the mountain is also very good, you can live well." ”
Mrs. Ming turned her head and glared at Xu Jinniang and said, "The water spilled by the married girl, if you let me know what you took to the mountain, see that I don't skin you." After speaking, he didn't look at Mingyue anymore, and went directly to the backyard.
Old Man Ming also carried his dry tobacco pouch and went out again, Ming Wenli looked at such a father and mother, and couldn't help but feel a little cold.
But Mingyue has long been used to it, comforting Xu Jinniang who wiped her tears with red eyes on the side, "Okay, mother, it's not a big deal, you have also lived in Daliangshan, it's good, it just so happens that Li Yun also has some silver, we have bought a lot of things in the past two days, and there is nothing missing, I don't believe you ask the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle and the eldest brother have also helped a lot." ”
Xu Jinniang looked at Ming Wenli, saw Ming Wenli nodding at herself, then she was a little relieved, took Mingyue's hand, and said distressedly, "Why are you so miserable?" ”
Mingyue smiled and leaned into Xu Jinniang's ear and said, "I don't feel bitter, I don't have to be angry with my mother-in-law when I come out to live with Li Yun, how good." ”
At this time, Mrs. Ming's scolding voice came from the backyard, "What are you still doing in the yard?" When is it, don't cook dinner yet, do you want to starve this big family, lazy? ”
Mingyue listened to the scolding of Mrs. Ming in the backyard, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, she chatted her teeth, and muttered in her mouth, "I don't know how to leave some virtue." ”
Xu Jinniang hurriedly blocked Mingyue's mouth, "What nonsense are you talking about, be careful to let people hear." I'm going to cook, you go to the backyard to see Xiaoyang first, I often talk about you. ”
Mingyue shook her head, "I'm not going today, I'll go up the mountain before it's dark, Li Yun is alone on the mountain, if my mother is free, take my brother up the mountain to see us." ”
Xu Jinniang looked at the darkened sky, nodded, and responded, "Be careful on the road." ”
Ming Wenli on the side said, "I'll send you." ”
Mingyue waved her hand, "It's not dark yet, no, I'll just go back by myself." ”
Ming Wenli did not ignore Mingyue's refusal, but insisted on sending Mingyue up the mountain, and Mingyue had no choice but to follow Mingwenli and go to Daliang Mountain.
Did Ming Wenli open his mouth along the way, Mingyue also felt that the fourth uncle seemed to be in a bad mood, and the atmosphere was very dull, only when he walked on the road to Daliang Mountain, Mingwenli said, "Yue'er, it was the Ming family who treated you badly, but Yue'er rest assured, the fourth uncle will definitely not treat Yue'er badly in the future." ”
Listening to the words of the fourth uncle, Mingyue instantly understood the mood of the fourth uncle, and felt that her father and mother had done too much, but after all, it was her own father and mother, this was a fact that could not be changed, and I was afraid that my heart was full of helplessness.
