Chapter 519 Who Are You And Your Brother?

Tang Lin hurriedly said: "It's fine if you can stay, it doesn't matter if it's crowded or not. Uncle Mu, I'm really sorry for disturbing you father and daughter tonight. This is a little thought from our siblings," she said, He took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to the middle-aged man.

Seeing this ingot of silver, the middle-aged man thought, these two guests from afar are the eldest sons and daughters of rich families, and this ingot of silver is a huge sum of money to him, but he did not accept it. Pushing back, "It's just a matter of lifting the two of you to stay here. You don't have to treat this place as an inn, let alone me as the shopkeeper. You should take the money back, take it back."

Tang Lin knew that the villagers were very kind and simple. If she insisted on giving the money out, it would make the other party feel that she looked down on the poor, so she had to put the money back in her pocket, "Thank you so much, Uncle Mu. By the way, Uncle Mu, your daughter is sleeping Is it? I'm afraid of quarreling with her!"

The middle-aged man said: "Today is the market day. My daughter went out to sell things. Usually she comes home very late on the market day. My daughter has a straightforward personality, and she would be very happy for the two of you to stay. Two, I will take you to Let's see the room."

After looking at the room, Tang Lin walked into the narrow hall, and saw a middle-aged man limping over with some steamed buns, put them on the rough and worn table, and said to Tang Lin, "Girl, my family I'm poor, I don't have any good dishes to entertain the girl and my younger brother, so I can only let you eat some rough steamed buns."

The middle-aged man originally thought that Tang Lin would dislike him, after all, the other party was from a big family, but what he didn't expect was that Tang Lin just grabbed a steamed bun and chewed it with gusto, without any dislike at all. , and find it particularly delicious. "Yeah, it's delicious. I've been used to delicacies from mountains and seas this year, and I haven't eaten steamed buns for a long time. Back then, I broke the record of taking steamed buns into the desert and living hard on steamed buns!"

Tang Lin's unconstrained, straightforward personality deeply aroused the curiosity and admiration of the middle-aged man.This girl is really strange. "Miss, has she ever been in the desert? Our place is far away from the desert, and I can't walk there in half a year!"

"Uncle Mu, have you ever been to the desert?" Tang Lin asked curiously.

The middle-aged man said with emotion: "I think back then..."

Afterwards, on the topic of the desert, Tang Lin and the middle-aged man chatted and laughed away.

Yu Lingyan was looking for pens and paper in the room. The so-called three rooms are actually in this format.A room for a middle-aged man is opposite.The remaining two rooms are actually one room, because they are separated by a long cloth in the middle, so they become two rooms.

Unable to find pens and papers, Yu Lingyan removed the layer of cloth and went to the "room" in front to find pens and papers. Except for a pile of rough linen and sackcloth, old red sheets, and a simple table, there was nothing else. .

I opened the drawer and saw that there was only a small box of low-quality rouge powder inside.Seeing this, Yu Lingyan looked away in disgust.

I don't know when, a rough woman's voice came from the door outside, "Father, I'm back!" After hearing his daughter's voice in the hall, the middle-aged man who had been chatting all the way stopped with Tang Lin in the desert. topic, said a little excitedly: "Girl, my daughter is back, I'll go out and have a look first!"

Tang Lin quickly stood up and helped him, "I'll help you!"

The middle-aged man said: "No need girl, you can continue to eat these steamed buns, I can walk alone!"

"Then be careful!" Tang Lin warned.After the middle-aged man left, she had eaten a steamed bun and her stomach was a little distended. She wanted to find some water in the living room, but couldn't find it, so she had to go to the backyard.

The wooden bowl picked two baskets of vegetables to a corner of the courtyard and put them down, then greeted the oncoming father with a cheerful smile on his face, "Father!"

After helping his father, Mu Wan said distressedly: "When you see that the light is still on, you know you are not asleep. Dad, you, don't wait for your daughter so late, remember to go to bed early in the future! You think you are still the same Is it the same as back then?"

Father Mu smiled kindly, "Although one of my father's legs is lame, my body is still very strong. I think back then..." As soon as he received his daughter's contemptuous gaze, he stopped laughing immediately, "OK Okay, dad won't mention what happened back then."

Seeing that there were as many baskets of vegetables in the corner as when my daughter picked them out in the morning, Father Mu's expression darkened. He patted his daughter's arm and sighed, "Daughter, thank you for your hard work. If Dad's legs are not lame, then These heavy tasks will not fall on your shoulders, originally your parents should support you, but you have been supporting your father since you were a child, and your father is really useless and has caused you a lot of trouble."

"Father, don't say that. Being filial to your parents is what children should do. How can you blame your parents." Mu Wan also patted the back of his father's hand and comforted him.Glancing at the carriage outside, he asked, "Father, why are there two carriages outside? Whose? In our village, there seems to be no family with a carriage, right? Even if there is, it's impossible to stop at our door! "

When it came to this matter, Father Mu became serious, "Two people from the city came to our village to do business. It was getting late and the journey was too far to return to the city, so they wanted to stay at our house tonight. Father asked them to stay. Yes. Please be polite and don't offend the guests."

Muwan smiled and said, "The visitor is a guest, and my daughter will not cause trouble for you. It's just that our village is so poor, what are those two guests doing in our village?"

Father Mu said: "It's inconvenient for me to ask about the guests. Go in, say hello to the guests, wash up and go to sleep."

"It's dad, come, my daughter will help you in!"

"You go in first, dad goes and closes the outer door!"

"Father, let me close it!"

"No need, dad can still do it himself!"

"Then slow down," said Mu Wan, turning around and walking into the house.

Seeing that there was no one in the hall, and there were only two steamed buns on the table, she glanced around, then scratched her hair wonderingly, "Strange, didn't dad say that someone has moved in, why is there no one?"

After thinking about it, the wooden bowl didn't care and said, "Whatever, I'll prepare clothes and boil water for a bath." After finishing speaking, he went to the room.

Opening the curtain and entering the room, I saw a figure looking for something under the cabinet, sneaky, this person was dressed in black and black trousers, and had a very murderous air, but this figure seemed a little familiar.

Mu Wan thought, this should be the guest his father was talking about, why did he rummage through the room?Immediately, anger burst out of his body, and he pointed at the figure, "Hey, what are you looking for?"

Yu Lingyan poked his head out from under the cabinet, and when he saw the wooden bowl, his expression changed drastically, "Witch? Why are you?"

The wooden bowl crossed his waist and said angrily: "Why is it not me? You dead man, why are you coming to my house? You are still rummaging around in my room, look, what has my room become like? "

"Oh," Yu Lingyan stood up, and said contemptuously, "So you are Uncle Mu's daughter, and you thought it was as straightforward as he said, and you were just a shrew." But he confirmed one thing. An old girl, unmarried.It is probably because the mother died long ago and was not taught by the mother, so she has a bad temper.

The wooden bowl said angrily: "I have never seen a guest like you. Why did my father let you live in? I am so mad. People like you should be thrown on the street to suffer from the cold." of."

Father Mu had already heard the sound, "What happened?"

The wooden bowl pointed to her "room", "Dad, tell me, is there a guest like him? It really pissed me off for messing things up in my room. Dad, a person like this is not worth it." We take it in."

Father Mu glanced at the room, it was indeed a bit messy, he looked at Yu Lingyan in some confusion.

Yu Lingyan explained politely: "Uncle Mu, I just wanted to find a pen and paper to record something. I wanted to clean up after I found it. How could I know..." The shrew came back so quickly.This is still the home of the shrew.

Did he owe the shrew lifetimes of money to live in her room unluckily tonight?

After listening to Yu Lingyan's explanation, Father Mu understood very well. He looked at his daughter, trying to make a big deal out of a trivial matter, "Daughter, this son didn't do it on purpose, please forgive him. He said it just now, he just wanted to Find a pen and paper, and if you find it, I will clean up your room for you."

"Okay, my aunt will forgive you this time, and when my aunt comes in, if she doesn't see the room restored to its original state, you can immediately get out of my aunt's room!" After finishing speaking, Mu Wan left the room coldly.

Father Mu said to Yu Lingyan very ashamedly: "My daughter was very obedient before, and she has never been so angry. It must be because I didn't sell the vegetables tonight. Please forgive me. As for the pen and paper... I'm sorry My lord, my family is poor, and I can't afford to eat normally. Where can I get the money to buy a pen and paper? Please don't laugh at me, lord. If you need it, I'll borrow it from another house later. Let me clean up this room, the young master is a guest, how can I let the young master clean up."

Yu Lingyan also felt a lot of guilt in his heart, his behavior was indeed too much.And this Uncle Mu is even more reasonable and makes him feel ashamed. "It doesn't matter if you don't have a pen and paper. You don't need to borrow it from the house next door. I'd better come down and clean up the room. After all, I made the mess. Our siblings have already caused so much trouble for you, so how can we bother you?" said Then, he bent down and picked up the clothes he had dropped on the wooden bowl on the ground.

These clothes were rough in workmanship and rough in material. Compared with the clothes he was wearing, they were nothing like heaven and earth.Yu Lingyan couldn't help sympathizing with the woman named Muwan, who couldn't even afford a decent set of clothes.If she is his sweetheart, he must buy a lot of things for her, but she is not, and she cannot be, he will not like this kind of shrew.

Father Mu helped clean up, "My daughter has a bit of a temper tonight, please don't be as knowledgeable as her."

Yu Lingyan is no longer angry with the shrew. For some reason, he never cared about trivial things, but now he cares about selling vegetables in wooden bowls, "Does she pick so many vegetables to sell in the city every day?"

The journey back and forth is very long, and it takes almost a day to walk. How did this woman endure this kind of suffering?It's cold in the morning, and you have to pick such heavy vegetables, and it's even colder at night, and you have to pick out the vegetables that can't be sold in the morning, even a man would be discouraged, let alone a woman.

"Ah," Father Mu sighed deeply, and said, "When my daughter was just born, it was a good thing. The family had land for rent-free cultivation, but later, the government and businessmen colluded and needed to collect the land rent, and the land rent continued to increase. The higher the price, the higher the rent, especially in the past two years, is so high that even the village head’s family can’t afford to rent it. Now the only piece of land is used to grow vegetables, and I have to pay a few taels of silver. As a last resort, my daughter has to get up early and find out in the dark. The purpose of working is to sell vegetables. In this village with a radius of hundreds of miles, no one buys vegetables, so they can only pick them to sell in the city, but her vegetables are not fresh. There are very few dishes out. Tomorrow is the day to pay the rent. She must be worried, which is why she has such a big fire. My father is lame, and I can cook at home. If I can't help her, I have to let her take care of me, a big man!"

After listening to Mu Fu's words, Yu Lingyan understood something about wooden bowls. She is aging fast, probably because she was too hard and tired since she was a child.That rude personality, perhaps, was formed from bargaining in selling vegetables.How could this woman have such great perseverance to survive tenaciously in this environment until now...
