Chapter 44: Good Things! Mu Xiaomei plans to buy an ox cart
"Madame! You dissipate your anger, the Mu family is difficult enough these days, when we built a new house, we didn't ask Brother Mu for help, Brother Mu is not there, even if it is in the past, I can't help the Mu family if they have a little favor," Li Zheng persuaded.
"Phew! You are willing to be your bad good person, you should go, I will be the wicked person, I will go to Grandma Liu's house to ask for an ox cart, bury her," Zhao said angrily and walked to the door.
As soon as the door opened, she looked at Mu Er standing at the door and was startled, "When did you come?" Why don't you go in like a door god?"
"Auntie, I came to your house to return the ox cart, my second brother was lucky today, he went down to the river and touched the fish, my mother stewed it and sent you a sauce stewed fish, and there is also a live fish" Mu Er said without much expression.
Zhao saw Mu Er take out a large pot of stewed fish with sauce from the ox cart, and there was also a live fish in the net pocket, the live fish was not small, it seemed to be three or four catties.
Zhao's eyes glowed green when he saw the live fish, this is a good thing, and then she smelled the fish fragrance through the pot when she smelled the sauced fish, and she was hungry.
She hadn't eaten fish in a long time.
She originally wanted to say a few unpleasant words, but seeing that the big fish was also suffocated, the complaints about the Mu family's borrowing of the oxcart also dissipated, and she put on a smiling face, "Oh, hey!" Eldest nephew, your mother is too polite, isn't she just borrowing an ox cart, why don't you send things?"
Zhao pretended to cooin and said that the movements in his hands were not fake, and quickly took the fish. "Eldest nephew, the next time you use the ox cart, it will squeak, and you will be polite to your aunt"
"Alas," Mu Er responded absentmindedly.
Zhao took the fish and sent Mu Er home to close the door, the smile on his lips could not be contained, and he had a good mouth at night.
"Tell me what it's all about? You have a small belly and chicken intestines, and the Mu family also sends you fish, are you sorry for the loss? I don't know if Kiji heard your words," Li Zheng sighed.
"If you hear it, you can still send us fish, but you didn't hear it" Zhao replied casually, his mind was all on the fish.
Mu Er's face was a little sad, Zhao said it so ugly, he was not good at going to the village chief's house to borrow an ox cart, he sent a lot of lo mei to the city, and the ox cart at the entrance of the village was full of people, where to put things? This worries him.
When Mu Er entered the house, he heard the little sister's soft shout, "The second brother came to discuss things with you."
"What's the matter with my little sister?" Mu Er asked innocently.
"It's a good thing, second brother, I still have some silver left in the city to sell Ganoderma lucidum, and it just so happened that my mother said that the Wang family in the west of the next village was in a hurry to use the money to sell the ox cart, so we bought it for the ox cart, I discussed this matter with my mother, and my mother agreed.
This will have to run to the city every day in the future, and it is not a matter of going to the village chief's house to borrow it, second brother, I have ten taels of silver, you take it first, and when you have dinner, you will go to Wang's house to see" Kapok put the money bag that had been prepared a long time ago into the second brother's arms.
Mu Er held the heavy money bag, the sadness on his face dissipated, and he was full of joy in his heart, "Little sister, you take the money first, and wait until the second brother pays you back when you earn the money, I, who is my brother, is still there, and we can ask you to take the money when I buy a car at home."
"It's okay, second brother, we are all a family, whoever buys it is the same" Kapok replied indifferently.
"How's that going to work? Buy the oxcart Fuya first, when the second child makes half of the money, the two of you cooperate in the lo-mei business, the money of the ox cart should be half of each person, fair" Liu Po leaned over and said.
The second sister-in-law of Mu listened with her ears pricked up, her mother-in-law was reasonable, and she was not good at what to say.
I just don't know how long it will take to earn back five taels of silver, how can it take a month or two?
The matter of the ox cart was decided, and the whole family went back to the house for dinner, and Sister-in-law Mu pushed Boss Mu back to the house, he could go down to the ground with this wheelchair, and this meal was also eaten with everyone.
I hadn't eaten with everyone for a long time, and Boss Mu was very excited, and he was more and more grateful to Xiaomei for building a wheelchair for him.
At the same time, Kapok harvested five points of gratitude from the eldest brother, and then her mother still had to praise her at the dinner table, and the whole family was grateful to her for eating fish.
Kapok also gained 9 Thanksgiving points, plus the previous 37 Thanksgiving points, she gained a total of 51 Thanksgiving points. There is still half of the gratitude value from the appreciation of the space, which makes her see hope and feel good.
"Girl, come and try your mother's handiwork," Liu Po took a chopstick, and put the fish meat in the fish belly and put it in the girl's bowl. There are few spines in the belly of the fish.
Kapok tasted, the fish meat is soft and delicious, moist and smooth, with a rich sauce fragrance, eat the taste of the monk, a bite of fish and a bite of white rice is very good for rice, and then a mouthful of milky white crucian carp soup, fresh tongue can swallow.
Before the crucian carp stew, it was fried in lard, and the fish soup did not smell fishy at all, and Kapok drank a small half bowl in one go, and he didn't drink enough.
"My mother's craftsmanship can't even be compared to the chef of the restaurant, and my delicious cooking is completely inherited from my mother."
Liu Po was overjoyed by her daughter's words, and the old problem of cough improved, so she happily ate half a bowl of white rice.
Xiao Sanbao sat on the lap of the wooden sister-in-law, pointed at the head of the fish and clamored to eat the fish eyes, "Stuffed, fish swallow, eat"
Sister-in-law Mu dug out the fish's eyes and fed him, so that the little guy would not make trouble.
This fish stew feast was extremely satisfying and satisfying.
The rural people are a few happy and a few worried, Wang's hemiplegia died, Wang Fatzi and his daughter-in-law were reluctant to spend money to buy a coffin, and rolled the old lady with a straw mat. Even shrouds are reluctant to buy. I plan to bury it simply.
When Wang Po got the letter and learned that her sister was dead, she hurriedly rushed over, and when she saw her sister rolled up in a straw mat, she was so angry that she had a heart attack and was about to commit a crime, "You two are not filial things, so you can buy a coffin, and you are not afraid of spreading the word and falling into the hands of people, and you will be charged with unfilial piety"
"Auntie said lightly, standing and talking without backache, the family can't eat enough, how can I have spare money to buy a coffin, if my aunt really can't stand it, you might as well pay for my mother-in-law to buy a coffin" Zhang's is not a soft persimmon, and he choked back at the moment.
"I have a big family to support, where will I get the money? Hey, my sister's life is hard, she is greedy for you two black-hearted unfilial children, my sister is hemiplegic, you don't serve, she is forced to die, and she doesn't take money to buy a coffin when she dies, everyone comes to evaluate it, is there such an unfilial piety? As soon as the princess sat on the ground and began to howl.
Her howl was so loud that it attracted the neighbors to come and see the excitement.
"Look at the fat man with a fat head and big ears, he takes care of his own food and his mouth is full of oil, the old lady doesn't serve, and he buys a coffin when he dies, like what, he is not filial and he is not afraid of being struck by lightning"
"Who believes it if you don't have money, you can't eat so fat without money, it's just that you are reluctant to buy a coffin for your mother, a wolf-hearted thing"
A few mothers-in-law who watched the excitement began to discuss, and the princess cried even more fiercely when she heard it.
Wang Fatzi and his wife's faces were not good-looking, and Zhao was angry but took a broom and hit Wang Po, "Call you, aunt, I really think I am a dish, I bah, what do you think you and that dead sister are good things?" With a bad stomach, you and my mother-in-law conspired to throw the female doll I gave birth to into the water and drown, don't think I don't know, I don't have a kind eye, see if I don't kill you"
