Chapter 189: Conversation
Wu's mother was so worried that she didn't notice Wu Yi, but Wu Jin saw through his thoughts at a glance, put down her chopsticks, got up and stretched out her arms, took a bowl from in front of him, fished out a bowl of noodles for him, and poured him a lot of condiments.
Wu Yi hurriedly took it in his hand, hurriedly mixed the noodles, Wu Jin finished eating, put down the chopsticks, and said to Wu Yi: "Don't worry, eat slowly, I have something to say after eating." ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Wu Yi suddenly relaxed, and the solemn atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed, and even the noodles became fragrant.
After the meal, the house was cleaned up, and the family of four sat in front of the light, Wu's mother guessed that Wu Jin was going to talk about Mofu, and her expression was still not good.
Wu Jin lifted the teapot and poured a bowl of cold tea into the teacup in front of his parents: "Dad, is there no business in the cake shop today?" ”
Wu's mother was all about restraining Wu Jin, and she had already put the cake shop aside, and suddenly heard Wu Jin mention it, and her heart "chuckled", and she hurriedly looked at Wu's father: "Didn't you send it to Chengfu?" ”
Wu Jin didn't wait for Wu's father to speak, and said directly: "Cheng San is kind-hearted, he knows that there is no business in the cake shop today, so he took out the money to wrap the cake, he can buy it once or twice, but he can't come every day, and we don't have the face to earn this money." ”
Wu's mother was silent for a long time: "It's closed, it's closed, how did you live, how do you live." ”
Wu Yi swallowed: "Mother, I still owe money to the Liu family, and I have to pay back so much money every month, there is no cake shop"
Wu Mu made a straight face: "I'll find another livelihood for you." ”
Wu Jin didn't say much about the cake shop: "I will go back to Mofu." ”
"You dare!" Wu Mu raised two eyebrows, stood up suddenly, and stared at him fiercely, "I won't allow you to go!" ”
Wu Jin's face did not change, and she glanced at her mother gently: "Ah Niang, at that time, my father broke his legs, and the family had no money, if there was no Mo Mansion, how could my son's studies continue?" Without Mofu, our family would not have been able to open a cake shop, and without Mr. Mofu Zhao's teaching, my son would not have been able to write these articles. ”
Without waiting for Mother Wu to open his mouth to refute, he continued: "Mofu is kind to our family, even if there is a plan, it is also a grace in front, we eat, drink, and use, we can't wipe our mouths, and then send some useless things back, we can erase them." ”
Wu Mu said: "Then you don't have to give up your future to repay your kindness!" ”
Wu Jin smiled helplessly: "I didn't give up my future, and I didn't want to enter the Mo Mansion, but the Mo Mansion is in danger, and there are enemies on all sides, if I leave at this time, can I still be considered a person?" ”
"Furthermore-" He picked up the teacup and took a sip, letting the bitter taste soak into his heart and spleen: "Moreover, without Miss Mo, I don't know what joy is, even if it is a mess, I have never looked up to see it, now everything, I am as happy as food, I know that my father and mother are hard, I dare not have the slightest slack, and I hope that my father and mother also know the pain in my heart, and I will fulfill one or two." ”
Wu Mu gritted her teeth and said, "What if we don't make it?" ”
Wu Jin didn't say a word, looked at her mother, and after a while, Wu's mother's eyes rolled up and rolled back the tears.
She saw persistence in Wu Jin's eyes - she said that she would ask her parents to fulfill it, but she had already made up her mind in her heart that she wanted to go to Mofu and make cattle and horses for Miss Mo.
"You, how long are you going to delay yourself for the sake of a girl? You're twenty years old this year, are you just messing around in Mofu? When you are willing to take the test, can you still take the test? If you don't get married, can you still let Miss Mo get married? ”
"On the exam," Wu Jin smiled, "A-Niang is also worried too much, don't say that Miss Mo doesn't know my thoughts, that is, she knows that who she wants to recruit as a son-in-law in the future and who she wants to marry as a wife is all within her choice, it has nothing to do with me, I just do what I should do, and I don't want to trap her because of this." ”
Mother Wu was a little out of breath for a moment.
It was about this rain that had never fallen thoroughly, and the wind was always a little stuffy, and the sweat trickled down her sideburns, over her face, which had aged prematurely from hard work, and fell on the whitewashed placket of her clothes.
"I'm all for your good!"
"A-Niang, I know," Wu Jin softened her voice as much as she could, reassuring her, "I know you're doing it for my good, but I can make my own decisions." ”
Mother Wu knew that there was no room for redemption, and his words were like arrows, straight into her heart - he defended Miss Mo's heart and stabbed her heart as a mother.
She couldn't understand what her son had experienced in Mofu to become so unfamiliar, so that in his eyes, the bright future could be thrown away.
That Mo Mansion wiped out Wu Jin's obedience and sensibility, and that Mo girl also snatched away her proud son.
Anger, hatred, and dazedness surged into her eyes, and tears rolled down her face.
Father Wu sighed: "Your mother is right, if you want to repay the favor, you have to fill yourself in?" The words outside are so ugly, you go out at this juncture, you can't straighten your waist! ”
Wu Jin wiped away Wu's mother's tears, and brought the tea bowl to Wu's mother's mouth, let her drink two sips, and said in a low voice: "I don't care." ”
He put back the teacup and grabbed Wu's mother's hand, as if he had taken over the entire Wu family from Wu's mother's hand: "Mother, the cake shop will go to find Zou tomorrow to redeem it, and my son will do things for Mofu, and the silver money obtained is not ill-gotten gains, you and your father can spend it with peace of mind and rest at home." ”
He looked at Wu Yi: "Second brother, tomorrow you will go with your mother to see Zou relatives, find a second-entry house to buy, and move out of here as soon as possible." ”
Wu Yi was sitting on pins and needles, but after listening to Wu Jin's instructions at this time, he nodded hurriedly, and secretly jumped in his heart.
"Brother, what about my debts?"
"I'll keep an eye on your livelihood, before that, you go to the flower shop to buy flowers, sell them along the street, and if it's not enough, I'll put it on for you."
Wu Yi's heart that was still excited immediately died down, fell back, and pouted and agreed-selling flowers is more bitter than selling cakes, and you have to shuttle back and forth in the restaurant at every turn, and often have to be driven away, and the flowers are delicate, and you can't rest for a while.
Wu Jin slowly got up, bowed to Wu's father and Wu's mother, and when he walked into the courtyard, there were all kinds of floral fragrances in the humid wind, which reminded him of the incense pieces that Mo Fu often smoked, and the fragrance of flowers spread around him in turn, often reminding him of Mo Lingfeng.
He spread out his hands, looked at his palms, and gathered them into fists, trying to grasp everything in his hands gradually.
The rain didn't fall until the night, and it poured all night, Wu Jin got up at the end of the night, and the yard was already flooded, and when he opened the door, the entire Shishi Street was flooded.
Li Widower opened the door, scooped the water out with a scoop, the door panel "clanged", fell to the ground, Wu Jin waded over, helped lift the door panel, and put it on the side.
Li Widower smiled at Wu Jin: "Brother Jin, don't take those words to heart, study hard." ”
Wu Jin nodded: "Yes, thank you." ”
He waded home from the water again, picked up the broom, and swept the water out, Wu's mother heard the movement, quickly got up and came out, took the broom, and said in a dumb voice: "Go." ”
