Chapter 142: Conscription

The people of the Mu family walked in with a sad face when they saw the village, and looked at the old man Mu tightly with their eyebrows between their eyebrows. [Full text reading]

"It's good that all of them are here, this year it's just our turn to serve in the gold mining village, and the strong men in the village are all going, and you and your three babies are on the top! You are all ready to prepare, this time it's going for two months, you can do it yourself! I'm going to inform the rest of the village, so I'm not going to talk to you here. ”

The village chief looked at the stunned appearance of the Mu family, so he had to sigh and shake his head and walk out of the door of the Mu family with his hands behind his back.

When Mrs. Mu heard the words of the village chief, the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground without knowing when, and she immediately slapped her thigh and cried.

"I just paid the food, and I didn't even take a breath, do you want anyone to live!"

"Mother, don't worry, didn't you take two taels of silver to offset it in previous years?"

Mu Liang looked at Mrs. Mu's sadness crying, frowned and said, but he thought in his heart that if he went to serve in the conscription, what would the Yang family do? But he also knew in his heart that it was impossible for his family to come up with so much silver.

"Yes, yes, yes, your father is old, how can he stand it if he goes for two months? What if you have a good one! ”

Mrs. Mu suddenly had some thoughts when she heard the boss's words, the old man is the head of the family, if he is tired, can they still listen to her and treat Xianghua as their own sister? Thinking of the slap of the boss Xianghua, Mrs. Mu knew that the boss was afraid that she would not be able to tolerate the Xianghua, so she nodded and said immediately.

"Isn't it just going for two months? We're not rich and noble, and I'm not going to be able to do it, so why waste all that money? Besides, now that there is nothing to do at home, I can save one person's rations if I go with me, and I still have dozens of dollars to take, and I won't come back if I go. ”

Old man Mu heard Mrs. Mu's words and immediately said disapprovingly, which made Mu Gui's face a little ugly and frightened, and Mu Nian's face was also a little dazed and panicked.

The conscription is as good as my father said, this conscription is either to help the imperial court build bridges and roads or to mine and log, they are all some very hard and tiring work, dirty and tired, not to mention, many people who go to serve the conscription every year can't come back, even if the person who comes back alive will be tortured with only a handful of bones, and it doesn't look like a man, and this time I will go for two months, which makes Mu Gui and Mu Nian, who have never served the conscription, a little frightened, and their faces are stiff and ugly.

Originally, when I heard the eldest brother say that I could use the silver to offset it, I looked at Mrs. Mu expectantly, but I knew that my mother didn't want to take the silver out to exempt them from forced labor, but she was only willing to give the silver to her father to offset it, so she was very dissatisfied, but she also knew that it was impossible for her mother to take so much silver out, so she had to swallow the breath in her stomach one by one.

Of course, Old Man Mu also knew that he was not young, but he was not old enough to move, if there were only one or two people in the family, it would be fine, but there is more than one person in the family now, there are also the eldest and second, and the fourth! You can't just take two taels of silver out and don't care about the boss's life or death, right? If they go to something, the palms and backs of these hands are full of meat, how can he not feel distressed, if he goes, he can still look at it.

"Dad, you can't go, if you go, have you ever thought that I didn't, if you have a good one, I will become an old girl, and I don't want to be an old aunt at home for the rest of my life."

Mu Xianghua is also anxious, her father's body is not as good as before, what if he goes and doesn't come back? That's not her going to be an old girl in the house, and suddenly said dissatisfiedly, even if she is not smart, but she also knows that her status in the family is getting lower and lower, if her father is gone, the eldest brother can not find someone to marry her out, so she doesn't want to give those mud legs casually!

"Dad shouldn't go to this thing, let's think of a way! If I don't know, I'll take the basket at home and sell it in the county, and see how much money I can get back. ”

"Do you think you can sell it for two taels of silver with just those baskets?"

When Mrs. Mu heard the boss's words, she immediately glared at her, and she didn't have a good breath.

Mu Liang said this, but the old man Mu was very relieved, thinking that the boss was still thinking about him, and after seeing Mrs. Mu's attitude, he couldn't help but say to Mu Liang with a relieved face.

"There's no urgency in this matter, and besides, it's not just our family that goes, but many people in the village have to go! After all, not everyone can take two taels of silver. ”

Old man Mu said and sighed, I don't know how many people who went this year can come back, thinking of the hardships when he went to serve in the conscription when he was young, Old Man Mu's sparse brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

"Let's rest at home for the next two days! If you want to go......"

"Dad, this is not a hit, our family is not unable to come up with silver, how can we let the child and his father go to serve in the conscription, I have not suffered such hardships in previous years, and now I have just collected the food and have not taken a breath! Isn't this a matter of human life...... I shouldn't...... Besides, the silver we have given to our mother for so many years is more than two taels of silver, and we can't let the child go to his father. ”

Wang Shi looked at the meaning of his father and mother, and suddenly couldn't help but say anxiously, after all, this matter is a chore, and I don't know if this person can come back, so she shouldn't do this matter anyway, and said forcefully at the moment.

"Phew, you mother-in-law who killed a thousand knives, you think the money is blown by the wind! All these old women's food is fed to the dog's belly, otherwise what do you think you eat? What is at home that you don't want silver, but two taels of silver! Our Mu family has what silver you have, there is a lot of money in the dung pit, why don't you go and put it in your pocket. ”

When Mrs. Mu heard Wang's words, she immediately spat on the ground, and then pointed at Wang and scolded.

"Your father's money hasn't been settled yet! You only care about yourself, and you are not afraid of the thunder and thunder that will kill you with unfilial piety. ”

"Second brother, that's what you mean?"

Mu Xianghua has always stood on the same front as Mrs. Mu, not to mention that this matter can still affect her, where does she not support Mrs. Mu, and she is also dissatisfied at the moment.

"I don't care, the child's father just can't go, if he goes and doesn't come back, I'll take Jinbao and Dahu to marry someone else...... Let your Mu descendants recognize the ancestors of other people's families......"

Wang Shi stood up violently when he heard Mrs. Mu's words, and even the stool behind him fell to the ground, making a loud noise, raising his voice and screaming, and after speaking, he sat on the ground and slapped the ground and wiped his eyes and cried.

"I have been to your Mu family for all these years, I have tried my best to serve the elders, take care of the young, and from time to time I have to be angry with my sister-in-law, and the silver in my hand has been handed over without leaving a penny, so many years have been in order to live in harmony with the family, even if there is no merit, there is hard work! But now that the family obviously has money, why do they want their children and their fathers to endure those hardships, is it important to be human or money...... If something happens to the child's father, I will take the child to remarry, make your old Mu family shameless, and let the child's father go to death for two taels of silver......"
