Mo Zhuzi's expression darkened, thinking of the atmosphere at home, the candied fruit in his mouth lost its taste.

His feet kicked the weeds on the side of the road for a while, the patches on the toes of his shoes were stained with dew, and the gray cloth was soon stained with water.

Thinking of A-Niang's advice, Mo Zhuzi regretted it, hurriedly withdrew his feet, and became well-behaved.

It is not easy for A-Niang to weave the soles of her shoes, her eyes are not very good, and she lights up the oil lamp at home at night, in order to save lamp oil, she has to carefully press the wick with a needle, for fear that the lamp is too bright. Borrow those little light for the sisters to weave cloth and make needlework.

"The eldest sister cried, the second sister A-Niang cried, Daddy didn't cry, I felt he cried." Mo Zhuzi shook his head and said in a low voice.

Cheng Zi'an was stunned, and an indescribable feeling floated in his heart.

The matchmaker said that if Li Chun didn't fancy the eldest sister's eight characters, she could buy an innocent girl for only five taels of silver, so why spend more money to find the eldest sister. The third uncle and grandmother came to our house again before and talked to A-Niang for a long time. I didn't hear what they said, but Niang cried again, and her eyes were swollen when she came out. The eldest sister saw it and pulled A-Niang to talk for a while, and then the eldest sister's eyes were swollen. ”

Mo Zhuzi babbled in his mouth, speaking upside down, but he tried his best to speak.

Auntie and Daddy went to the side to whisper, Daddy didn't cry, he was still the same. Daddy looked at the eldest sister for a while, then sighed, and said that our family is poor, and we can't afford to have backbone, and in the next life, we will be reborn in a rich family with our eyes wide open. ”

The children scuffled with each other, chasing each other around the big banyan tree that neither of them could hug, and the crisp and cheerful laughter spread throughout the bright moonlit night.

Villagers sit under the banyan tree, holding a fan to drive away mosquitoes, and from time to time reprimand a mischievous child.

Seeing Mo Zhuzi and Cheng Zi'an, curious and inquisitive eyes were cast at them.

Someone had a smile on his face and greeted Cheng Zi'an loudly: "Young Master Cheng is here?" Come and sit. ”

Cheng Zi'an came out to cut the grass in the morning, and everyone in the village knew about it, and he was familiar with him.

"Thank you, Second Uncle Mo, for your words, I'm going home."

Cheng Zi'an saw that Mo Zhuzi had stopped, his body was obviously resisting, he greeted the villagers with a smile, and turned to leave.

"When the matchmaker came, they all saw it, and they inquired everywhere, and it was rumored that our family was going to climb the high branches."

Mo Zhuzi was so angry that his face puffed up: "They always like to play with right and wrong, and they hate it so much." ”

Cheng Zi'an listened carefully in silence and analyzed the current situation of the Mo family.

Mo Saburo and Mao both felt sorry for Mo Cao'er, but they succumbed to reality, and Mo Cao'er did the same and agreed to this family business.

"Pillar, what do you want to do when you grow up? Do you want to continue your studies? ”

Faced with Cheng Zi'an's question, Mo Zhuzi was stunned and fell into confusion.

"I'm stupid, my husband can't teach me to learn, and I'm not as smart as my second sister, she saw me on the side and read and write, and she learned better than me. I don't want to waste my family's money and don't plan to study. ”

As for what he wanted to do, Mo Zhuzi hadn't thought about it, and he couldn't think of it.

Cheng Zi'an hummed and said, "I'm not good at reading." It's okay. ”

Mo Zhuzi grinned at him, "Young Master Cheng said with a smile, you are very smart, your father is a master, how can you not learn well." ”

Cheng Zi'an smiled, he didn't explain much, and said, "Let's go, it's not early, let's go back quickly." ”

Mo Zhuzi was busy, said goodbye to each other before arriving at Mo's house, and pushed open the door of the fence courtyard and entered the house.

The sound of pounding clothes stopped, children were babbling and crying, Mo Hua'er occasionally coaxed, and the loom creaked.

The bean-sized lights illuminated the busy figures in the house.

The door of the fence courtyard was closed, Cheng Zi'an retracted his gaze and walked back slowly.

The weather is getting cooler, the frogs are less noisy, and the crickets try their best to seize the last opportunity, chirping from time to time.

The rice in the fields in the distance is golden under the moonlight, and a bumper harvest is imminent.

The tenant farmer paid the rent, Cheng Zhen did not need to pay taxes, and the Cheng family would fill the warehouse.

pondering all the way home, I raised my head and saw Cheng Zhen standing under the osmanthus tree in front of the gate with his hands behind his back.

Cheng Zi'an hurriedly quickened his pace and stepped forward to salute, "Daddy is waiting for me?" ”

Cheng Zhen looked him up and down, frowned, and said, "Why did you come back so late, do you know that your aunt will be worried?" ”

Cheng Zi'an unceremoniously pierced Cheng Zhen and said with a smile: "Doesn't Daddy care about me?" ”

The corners of Cheng Zhen's eyes twitched, and he glared at him: "Young poor mouth!" He turned around and walked towards the courtyard and looked sideways at him: "Why don't you go back and wash up and review your homework." ”

Cheng Zi'an stretched out his voice, which provoked Cheng Zhen to turn around and stare at him again, and when he saw him smiling, he had no choice but to turn his head and ignore him.

Entering the courtyard, Cui Suniang came out of the main house when she heard the sound. Cheng Zi'an hurriedly ran forward, called A-Niang, raised his head, and turned around with open arms: "I'm so raw, I'm not naughty, I'm listening to the gossip of people in the cool." ”

Cui Suniang saw that Cheng Zi'an was intact, so she was relieved and asked with a smile: "What gossip did you listen to?" ”

Cheng Zi'an said: "Whoever harvests rice with whom, whose girl wants to say kiss." Oh, there is also a matchmaker in Mo Zhuzi's family who came to the door to say goodbye to Sister Cao'er, saying that she entered a rich family as a concubine and could give birth to a son, and the Mo family would be developed. ”

The gossip in the village spread quickly, Cui Suniang already knew about it, her eyebrows twisted slightly, and said, "You don't listen to this, go into the house and wash." ”

Cheng Zhen frowned on the side, and Cheng Zi'an smiled when he saw this: "Auntie, I saw Sister Cao'er before, she is not much taller than me, how can she give birth to a child!" ”

Cui Suniang sighed slightly, stretched out her hand to push Cheng Zi'an into the house, and said angrily: "You are still young, how can you know about giving birth to children, don't talk nonsense." ”

Cheng Zi'an turned around to defend himself, and raised his hand to gesture: "I have seen the newborn baby of Second Uncle Mo's family, so big." Sister Cao'er is so thin, she can't fit her belly out, I know everything. ”

The dowry of ten taels of silver, a few old pieces of fabric, and the gold and silver heads promised by empty promises will not add up to more than fifteen taels of silver.

These fifteen taels of silver are Mo Cao'er's uncertain life.

Cheng Zi'an takes a fancy to money, spends money like dirt, and never skimps on money.

The money he earned from Xin Jinian's office added up to more than half a yuan, and he spent almost all of it on Qingchuan and Mo Zhuzi, and now he has less than fifty big money.

However, he promised to earn fifteen taels of silver and exchange it for Mo Cao'er's life.

It's just that the hope of Mo Saburo's family, what about Mo Zhuzi's future path?

Most of the girls in the village married around the age of fifteen, and most of them married from one poor family to another, and lived a life of hard work and numbness like Mao's.

Mo Cao'er doesn't give Li Chun a concubine, and she walks the Mao family's path again, is it good or bad for her?

Would she herself like to?

The Li family doesn't look down on Li Chun, and for Mo Saburo's family, it is still unattainable.

Cheng Zi'an's style of doing things never stops at verbal comfort, he is more inclined to make practical help.

An adult must come forward in this matter, otherwise he is a child and runs to Mo Saburo to tell him not to agree to this family affair and take out the money to subsidize the Mo family.

Mo Saburo never dared to take a huge sum of fifteen taels of silver, thinking that he had stolen the family's silver money and came to find Cheng Zhen.

When the time comes, if he can't hide it and don't mention it, his way to make money will also be exposed, and he won't be able to escape from a beating.

Li Chun is not the Li family, even if he knows that Cheng Zhen came forward, how can Li Brown offend the favored people of the Zhao Governor's Mansion because of him, he is helpless.

Money can't solve the real problem, Cheng Zi'an is still young, and there is no relationship with the outside world. In the future of Mo Caoer and the Mo family, it depends on Cheng Zhen's arrangement.

Cheng Zi'an didn't look for the stern Cheng Zhen, twisted Cui Suniang's arm, and begged in the tone he should have at his age: "A-Niang, save Sister Cao'er." She is still young and thin, and she will definitely die if she has a child! ”

Cheng Zhen pushed a little harder, pulled away Cheng Zi'an, who was cheating, and reprimanded: "Hugh has to bother your aunt, your studies are a mess, the exam is about to be, you still have the kung fu to meddle in things!" ”

Cheng Zi'an took the opportunity to hug Cheng Zhen's arm and said, "Daddy, I promise to do well in the exam this time, you can help Sister Cao'er first!" ”

Cheng Zhen lowered his eyes and looked at him, snorted, and said unhurriedly: "What if you don't do well in the exam?" ”

Cheng Zi'an saw that Cheng Zhen did not look embarrassed at all, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his face was not red and his heart did not beat: "I am Daddy's own son, and if I don't pass the exam, it won't make Daddy lose face." ”

Cheng Zhen was not bypassed by Cheng Zi'an, and said straightforwardly: "If you can't get into the top ten, all the snacks and snacks after dinner, don't say anything, you will still be beaten." ”

Life in the world, food and clothing.

Cheng Zi'an doesn't care too much, he thinks he is good-looking and handsome in a sack.

There is little fun in the country, and snacks are his only source of happiness.

The point is that there is also the risk of being beaten.

Top 10!

It's not easy to be a good person!

Cheng Zi'an's mind turned quickly, and he couldn't help but cry.
