In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Mrs. Mu was in her first seven days.

In the next few days, Mu Fan was always guarding the spirit. Fortunately, Grandpa and Mulan recuperated for a few days, and their bodies were better.

It's just that her body is not very good, and she is tired for several days, and she can't hold on. Finally, I couldn't stay up and went to sleep, and when I got up, I saw that my grandfather was dressed neatly and was about to go out.

Mu Fan asked with some surprise, "Grandpa, where are you going?" ”

Grandpa Mu threw her unfilial behavior in anger, and said in a cold voice: "Your grandma, the first seven have arrived, it's time to be buried, there is no extra silver taels at home, I'll ask the villagers to borrow some." ”

Mu Fan knew what she was angry about, if it wasn't for Xiao Mufan snatching the last bit of silver taels from the family and gambling on it, grandma wouldn't have had an accident, and the family wouldn't have fallen to this step. I just wanted to say that I would go by myself, but after thinking about it, I still held back the words.

The words of the two aunts that day were still in her ears, and if she borrowed them, she would definitely not be able to borrow them. But after thinking about it, she was a little uneasy, so she secretly followed behind Old Man Mu.

Old Man Mu originally thought that with his past behavior, the people in the village should still be sympathetic and lend a hand.

I visited five or six houses in a row, and two of them directly pretended that there was no one at home and didn't let him in; And the few families that let him enter the door heard that he was going to borrow money for the funeral, and they all found various reasons to shirk it.

Walking to the last house, the old man Li said to the old man Mu bluntly: "Old Mu Tou, blame only the dead girl in your family!" If she died, it would be fine, she survived such a serious injury, who would dare to provoke her in this village now? If it's contaminated, I don't know what blood mold to pour! ”

Although the previous ones also refused, they all spoke more tactfully, unlike this old man Li, who said it so bluntly.

"How can you say that!" Old Man Mu was so angry that he took two steps back, pointed at him and didn't say anything for a long time, and went out with a blue face.

Mu Fan followed from a distance, and when he saw that Old Man Mu came out of a house again, with a dejected look, he guessed the result.

She always knew that no one would help people who didn't matter endlessly. The Mu family had such a difficult time before, and the people in this village should have felt that the borrowed silver had not been recovered for a day, in such a situation, who would take out the silver taels for nothing?

What's more, in this family, there is such a notorious loser girl as herself.

She smiled bitterly, and suddenly saw that Old Man Mu's body was shaking, and he looked like he was about to fall down at any time, so she quickly stepped forward to support him.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

Old Man Mu stabilized his body under her support, and looked at her without saying anything.

Mu Fan's indisputability in the past is an indisputable fact. But in the past two days, he also saw her changes in his eyes, took the initiative to keep the spirit, cook and laundry, and take care of the old and the young, Old Man Mu saw it in his eyes and deeply felt that it was time for her to grow up.

Which elder doesn't want the younger generation to get better? He looked at Mu Fan's worried eyes, and after all, he didn't say those words of blame, only pointed ahead, and said, "Let's go, go to your uncle's house." ”

Mu Fan has said a lot of words from Mulan's mouth in the past two days, and has some understanding of this family.

In addition to his father, who died young, Old Man Mu also has two adopted sons, who also live in this Qingshui Village, but they don't interact much on weekdays.

However, on the day when I saw what happened, the two adopted sons did not come, which is enough to see the relationship between relatives and relatives.

Mu Fan understood in his heart, but did not say it. Right now, there's only one way to find them, isn't it?

After walking about a stick of incense, the two stopped in front of a farmhouse.

In the small yard surrounded by a fence, there was a shovel against the wall, and the soil on it was still fresh, thinking that the owner had just returned from work.

Old Man Mu pushed open the fence door and shouted inside: "Mu Lin, Mu Lin!" ”

"It's coming!"

A strong voice came from inside, and then a large man with a sturdy figure stepped out of the room.

"Daddy?"

Mu Fan clearly saw that the big man's eyes were evasive.

Come to think of it, this is the legendary uncle. She called out "uncle" in a low voice, and Mu Lin really responded a little awkwardly, then rubbed her hands and let the two of them go in and sit.

Seeing that his attitude was not bad, Old Man Mu breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the house and sat down, and Mu Lin poured two glasses of water for the two, and asked bluntly: "What happened to your mother that day, do you know?" ”

The look on Mu Lin's face became even more embarrassed. He sat there almost at a loss, and said crampedly, "I know......"

Old Man Mu said: "That's your mother!" Your mother has been lying in the mourning hall for seven days, and none of your brothers have gone to see it, is this reasonable? ”

The look on Mu Lin's face became even more uneasy, he lowered his head and did not speak.

Mu Fan patted Old Man Mu on the back, he nodded, finally relieved himself, and said in a calm tone as calmly as possible: "I won't talk about you anymore, Mu Lin, your mother is already out of the first seven, it's time to be buried, there is really no silver taels at home, I have no way to come to you." Can you lend me some money first, so that I can finish your mother's funeral? ”

Although he is an adopted son, after all, he has to call Mrs. Mu a mother. To bury his mother, even if he asks for money directly, it is not too much, but Old Man Mu is now saying that it is borrowing, which is already quite polite wording. Mu Fan could clearly see Mu Lin's restlessness, and he could see that this was an honest farmer.

Who knows, Mu Lin hesitated for a while, but still didn't speak.

But suddenly the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and out of it came a woman.

The woman held a handful of melon seeds in her hand, and walked out while knocking them, "Dad, what you said is not right. ”
