C8 Seeing Money and Opening Eyes

"As long as dad and mom are healthy, that's good."

When Mao San heard that the Mao couple were in good health, tears flowed down her cheeks.

"By the side, Lady Lee's heart sank as well." As long as my mother is healthy. " This way, he wouldn't make too many mistakes out of her.

As these people were talking, a woman in the village hurried towards the Mao Family's old dwelling.

"Big sister! Big sister! Amazing! Your family's Mao San is back with a group of ragged children!"

Old Lady Soong was shocked when she heard that, but immediately sneered and asked, "How many children are they wearing? Are their complexions good? "

"This, isn't very good." Da Chun's wife, who had come to report, had a look of disdain on her face.

"Oh, a few years ago, I heard that those two shamelessly acted as the Huanzi [1] in the city. I guess not. That's enough, big sister, I won't treat you into the room. At this moment, I suddenly have a backache, and my whole body aches. I'm feeling very uncomfortable. "

Old Ji's eyes narrowed when he heard what she said, and he immediately understood her intentions.

She was going to make him sick so that he could talk.

If Mao San became rich, he would have to pay for his mother's treatment.

If he didn't have money, hmph, he wouldn't be able to get anything!

This Old Lady Soong was really good at scheming.

"Haha, big sister, I'll come another day to see you. You keep it, you keep it. "

At the side, Lady Tian, who was working with her head lowered, had a trace of ridicule flashing across her eyes.

This old woman was probably going to be a demon again.

However, what did the rumored Third Sister-in-Law look like? When they heard that they lost their children that year, the couple went out together to look for their children. She had been married to Third Sister for ten years now and she had never seen her.

"You know how to talk later?"

Old Lady Soong was about to enter the room when she remembered what she had instructed her daughter-in-law to say.

Lady Tian quickly smiled obsequiously. "Mom, I know how to talk to my brothers and sisters."

"Yes, you have some brains in this family." Otherwise, you won't be able to escape.

Knowing this, Lady Tian smiled even more cautiously. Not far away from them, aunt, who was 13 years old, glanced at her coldly. She turned her slightly obese body and walked straight to the door. She wanted to see what kind of demon Third Brother, Third Sister-in-Law and the rest of their family, were.

"Father, Mother …"

Mao's face was filled with excitement as he ran home.

However, the one waiting for him was a fat girl with a slightly fat appearance, an especially big face and a round butt. She had her hands on her hips as she looked at his family with disdain.

Mao Yuxi looked at this ferocious looking girl and sighed internally: "Damn, running all the way here to join a family, if that's the case, then I'm going to have to rely on this kind of family …" Then their line of work is really depressing.

"You are?" Mao San slowly approached and asked cautiously.

Mao Mingchun snorted coldly and sized them up from top to bottom.

"My mother is sick. Are you my unfilial third brother? How can you, a person like you, have the nerve to come back? This, the person hasn't arrived yet and he has already angered my mother to the point of making her fall ill. Hmph, it would be better if he didn't come back. "

Mao San's face turned ugly the moment she heard that. This, my mother … Sick. I'll go and see our mother! "

Lady Lee forced a smile and shoved a handful of sugar into Mao Mingchun's hands. "So it's aunt. Sister-in-law gave you this candy."

Mao Mingchun snorted coldly, but still accepted the sugar.

Her gaze fell on the emaciated Mao Yuxi. With a "pei" sound, she turned around and headed back inside the house.

From the looks of it, if he didn't send a handful of sugar over, his entire family probably wouldn't be able to get in.

Mao Yuxi rubbed her nose as she led her terrified sister-in-law home.

Until now, he could only take one step at a time.

Old Lady Soong, who was lying on the bed, merely raised her eyes, looked at Mao San's family through the slit, and then closed it again.

"Mother, mother, you have to hurry up and get well. Otherwise, the child will feel uncomfortable."

Seeing that his mom ignored him, Mao San felt rather annoyed.

How sick was she?

Why didn't she look at him?

However, it was Mao Yuxi who seemed to look at her wife's complexion.

Outside the house, there was no smell of medicine. Plus, Uncle Daniu had told them earlier that Mao San's parents were fine. That was to say, this old woman was probably pretending to be sick when she heard that the entire family had returned.

Mao Yuxi coughed and passed 20 copper coins to Lady Lee.

"…" Lady Lee looked at her daughter in surprise.

Ever since Mao Yuxi had come back from making money, all the money in the family had been under her control.

She didn't think about taking the money, so she got it from Mao Yuxi. This made her understand.

Inwardly nodding his head, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Mother, mother, my daughter-in-law is unfilial. She has been busy all these years searching for her lost child, not caring for your filial piety. I … I have no other choice." Well, save some money and be filial to your old age... "Grab some medicine."

Upon hearing money, Old Lady Soong, who was humming with her eyes closed, immediately opened her eyes.

"Bring it here."

Lady Tian, the fifth son's wife, who had been keeping her head down the whole time, also secretly curled her lips when she heard that spirited voice. If you want to act, then act a little more decent. At this moment, he actually opened his eyes the moment he heard the money.

Looking at the 20 copper coins in her palm, Old Lady Soong curled her lips in disdain.

"You guys only earned twenty coppers outside?"

Although she loathed it, she quickly pocketed the money. In that case, I'll give you a lot of money, and none of you can even dream of snatching it away from me.

Mao Yuxi's heart sank when she saw this. She was afraid that her return this time was not going to end well. She wanted to persuade Mao San and his wife to leave, but when she saw the look of anticipation in their eyes, she silently suppressed that thought.

However, even though Master Mao had been silent all this time, it was as if he was in the mirror.

"Mom, there's nothing we can do about it. You know it too. It's hard to earn a living by scrap picking outside."

Mao San was speaking the truth.

If Daniu didn't have the money to work outside, their family wouldn't have enough to eat. He might not get kicked out because of that time, but he was afraid that some people might not even be able to survive.

After all, they had been injured for so long that it was difficult to determine whether or not they would end up well.

Not long later, Old Master Mao also returned.

The old man looked skinny and skinny, with a tuft of beard on his chin. It was a pair of eyes. It seemed to be smiling, but it always felt tight and deep.

"You mean you want to come back and live?"

After listening to Sanzi's general explanation, the old man squinted his eyes and a thread of calculation flashed across his eyes.

"That's right, Father. I'll just think about it. There are so many of us, so we won't stay at the side of the old mansion." In this village, if there's anyone who wants to move away, or sell their houses, I'll talk it over and move in. If there's none, your son can only think of a way to borrow some money to get his room. "

Old Master Mao seemed uninterested, "You guys can borrow money?"

Mao San was stunned and quickly answered, "Yes, all these years, I have gotten to know a sworn brother outside. He's not a bad person. In the past few years, his luck was quite good and he made a bit of money from doing business, so seeing that I was not doing well in the city, he advised me to come back.

Old Master Mao nodded with a smile and patted his shoulder. "Not bad, not bad. San, you have also learned to make friends."

Mao San felt a little guilty. Of course, of course. "Didn't you say before, dad? People rely on friends when they're outside."

Lady Lee was extremely curious. Why didn't she know that her man knew such a loyal brother?

However, after looking at the calm and composed Daniu beside her, she finally understood. Needless to say, all of this had to be Daniu's way of thinking. Thinking about it, it made sense. With her character, she would only give up if she knew that they were worth a bit of money. When she thought about how Old Lady Soong had opened her eyes to money just now, she still felt some lingering fear.

"Hmm, San, that is a good idea." I saw that the old Zhu family in the village seemed to have a house in the city, and planned to take the house out of their hands in the near future. His house was seventy percent new, and the courtyard was huge, so the price wasn't too low. "Otherwise, someone in our village would have bought it a long time ago."

"Then dad, how much does this room cost?" When Mao San heard that there was a ready-made room, he was overjoyed.

Old Master Mao laughed happily, "I guess, Daddy will go and talk. It will only cost 15 taels of silver." Back then, he had spent at least 25 taels of silver to build that room. In the blink of an eye, close to half of the money has been lost.

Fifteen taels wasn't too expensive. However, Mao Yuxi stared doubtfully at Old Master Mao, who suddenly became enthusiastic as he talked about the house. She felt that there was something fishy going on.

"Dad, I'll have to trouble you to go and have a talk with him."

Mao San was very happy to hear it.

However, Old Master Mao's next sentence made the family's thoughts become heavy.

"Cough, San, you came back all of a sudden. That's something that should be considered perfect. After all, father and mother are old. With you by our side, we can be considered to have come for peace of mind. Let me see, you big girl, big son, it seems you're almost grown up. Resting today, rushing tomorrow, I'd better hurry up the mountain with my uncles and uncles, and work together. This family, Father is still here in front of them in the end. "

Mao Yuxi was secretly shocked. Not yet.

Old Mao Family looking at the door was indeed impressive, no wonder they felt that something was amiss.

It seemed as though this mansion still had a few rooms. If Mao San also didn't split up, then his family would just follow this big family and die from being yelled at.

Mao San also seemed to be shocked.

"Dad, our family hasn't split the money yet?"

Old Master Mao stared at him, "What are we going to divide up? When I'm alive, this family is not allowed to split up."

Mao Yuxi had been supporting Grandpa Mao the whole time, so when the old man heard her words, he straightened his body a little.

It didn't matter whether the family was good or not! How many constraints would there be in the future?
