reborn in childhood

Chapter 10

"Mianya, grandma won't return the money to your family."

"How do you know? Does our family have a lot of money with grandma?"

Doudou came to look for Mu Mian early in the morning, and sat with her on a simple homemade seesaw, holding a vegetable meat pie, which was just made by Chen Fang, and it was still hot in the hand, Doudou gnawed I felt so much better than the suet buns my father bought last time. I was so absorbed in eating that I forgot to answer, and was urged to ask by Mu Mian before saying: "You are stupid, your mother always asks grandma every time she spends money. Yes, there must be a lot of money in her, but there is not much now."

"Why?" The seesaw that Mu Mian was sitting on stopped firmly in the air. She was holding the vegetable meat pie dangling and biting her thighs. The diced meat, first fried and then steamed, is so delicious.

Doudou was sitting at the lower end, and suddenly found that Mianya had become more beautiful and cleaner. He looked up at Mu Mian and then at his dirty self, and a strange feeling appeared in his mind. Thoughts, Mianya seems to have grown up secretly without telling him, and she is no longer his sister, how can this work!Mu Doudou, who was determined to be a good brother, immediately went astray, forgot what they were talking about, and taught her solemnly, "Mianya, how can you sit on it and swing your legs? It's so dangerous. If you sit here It's not me, what should you do if you fall down suddenly? It will definitely shake your legs, let's see if you cry or not!"

Mu Mian continued to shake, and said with a look of admiration: "Doudou is the best, Doudou is the best, he won't let me fall, if it were someone else, I wouldn't trust him so much!"

This indirect acknowledgment that he is a good brother made Doudou immediately happy, but when he inadvertently saw Mu Dongcai standing next to him, his joy turned into sadness. It seems that every child has someone they are afraid of, and Doudou is no exception. , although Zhang Guihua and Mu Dongliang would beat him, and Mu Dongcai never raised a finger on this nephew, the person Doudou is most afraid of is Mu Dongcai. Mu Mian's foot was really shaken when the upper and lower positions were reversed.

Mu Dongcai hugged Mu Mian and rubbed her feet. In fact, Mu Mian didn't hurt very much, just like jumping off a bicycle suddenly. He joked that seeing Mu Dong was like a mouse meeting a cat.

Seeing Doudou who was quiet for a moment, Mu Dong was a little confused why his two children were so afraid of him. Could it be that he is really a serious person?But now is not the time to talk about these things, Doudou's words made him suspicious.

"Doudou, your aunt has cooked dinner, let's go back and have breakfast."

"it is good."

"Doudou, uncle asked you, you just said that the money left at grandma's place was short, what's going on?"

Doudou still remembered the oath she made yesterday, and shook her head: "This is a child's business, so you can't tell the adults."

"You little devil, what can't you say?"

"Yes, Doudou, or you can tell Dad."

Doudou glanced at Mu Mian, it was you who wanted me to say it, not me. Thinking this way, he stumbled and recounted what he heard last night.

It turned out that the 2000 yuan was not much left. I was cheated out of [-] yuan when I saw a doctor, and the old lady lent a few hundred yuan to her natal relatives. Down five hundred.Last night, the old lady discussed with Mu Chuanqing that the eldest son must not know about this matter. She had already made up her mind not to take out the money. When she came back, after removing the capital, she could still earn a lot of interest, which was her own money.

Mu Dongcai was in a good mood at first. Last night he and Han Guang decided to share money to jointly process matches. Don't underestimate this humble business. The cost of a box of matches is more than two cents, but it can For four or five cents, this thing is easy to learn and easy to make. Although you can't earn too much money, it's better because it doesn't take much risk, and neither of them is rich, so they can only do this kind of small business with that little capital.But when you save enough capital, you can do other more promising things.Mu Dongcai had an idea, but this time he was stimulated by the enviable bungalow of Wu Tiancheng's family. He decided to work hard so that he could look like himself in the future. He was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night. , is still full of passion and drive.

But Doudou's words quickly knocked him back to his original form, and all his good moods were wiped away, replaced by the sadness of being deceived, and the pain of getting rich dreams about to be shattered, his mother clearly said that he would take good care of it , How can you spend so much and borrow it from someone without saying hello?Maybe the child heard it wrong, so Mu Dong decided to visit his elders after dinner with a little luck in his heart.

He hugged Mu Mian and led Doudou home. He didn't say a word at the dinner table, only the sound of Chen Fang calling the two children to eat. Horrible, Mian Ya is so pitiful, his mother Zhang Osmanthus is so gentle, his father is such a good father, he himself, let's finish eating quickly and slip away.

Maybe God heard Doudou's complaint, and he put down his chopsticks before he finished eating Mu Dong, "Chen Fang, take care of the two children, I'll go to my parents."

Chen Fang wondered: "So rush? The pumpkin porridge in your bowl hasn't touched yet. Go after eating. Didn't Han Guang say that you will get the money in three days, and you are not in a hurry at this time."

When Mu Dong heard this, the depression in his heart went up to a higher level. He promised to give out 500 yuan yesterday. If he couldn't pay the money by then, he really couldn't afford to lose this person!Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, didn't answer, stood up and walked away. Mu Mian was in a good mood, and after eating one more cake, Doudou immediately became lively as if he had been liberated.

The old lady had already thought of a move last night, and she was not guilty at all when she met Mu Dong, and greeted him for dinner as if nothing had happened.

"Mom, I've eaten, come here to get some money, it's urgent."

"Okay, how much do you want, fifty or one hundred? I'll give it to you after dinner."

Mu Chuanqing also said: "Yes, you should save more money when you are young, and you can't spend it recklessly."

"Dad, Mom, I want to do business with people this time. I will earn [-] yuan, and I will earn it back in the future." He originally planned to only take [-] yuan, and the remaining [-] yuan is to honor his parents. Now, Hehe... Mu Dong shook his head and smiled wryly.

"As a human being, you should be more peaceful. What business do you do? If you lose money, wouldn't it make your whole family suffer together with you, and the feeling of being chased after you for debts is very uncomfortable. You should farm the land honestly, or Going out to work for others, isn't everyone like this, what's wrong?"

The old lady picked up the bowl and took a sip of the porridge, and said in a strange way: "As long as you are honest and believe his nonsense, what kind of business are you doing? It was fine yesterday, but today you are inexplicably doing business? Who are you lying to? It's probably because of him The daughter-in-law came up with a way to cheat the money away."

"No, I really want to do business." Mu Dong said jokingly: "Mom, I don't think you are worried, but the money is gone, right?"

The old lady was stabbed in the heart, and threw the bowl in her hand in anger. After the drop, she felt distressed again. Her big bowl was dropped by the silly Mianya last time, and now there is another one in the cupboard. There are not many big bowls left!The old lady was even more angry, and shouted: "Why is the money gone? I put it well for you, how could it be less! I am your own mother and not an outsider, can I still lie to you? You deliberately don't make me feel better. Right? Well, you told me this early in the morning, it must be taught by your daughter-in-law, how good you were before, and you changed after marrying a daughter-in-law. She can make troubles, this Chen Fangyao is not filial to me, an old woman, and even provokes my son to not be filial to me, let my son play tricks on me, she is a broom star, she is a vixen, otherwise why don't you give birth to me? A son? Otherwise, why are you making trouble with you every day? She is restless!"

"Mom, Chen Fang is my daughter-in-law and your granddaughter's real mother. Can you please stop being a vixen and a bastard."

Only then did Mu Dong understand a little bit that there was something wrong with his mother's attitude towards Chen Fang.Chen Fang often quarreled with him, except when she first got married, her relationship was better, and then she didn't have a happy birthday. There was a big quarrel in three days, and a small quarrel in two days, but it seemed that it was all caused by him, and he They only quarreled with Chen Fang after returning from his mother's place. Maybe Chen Fang didn't make so many mistakes before, but he was misled by his mother?Mu Dongcai felt a little guilty. Chen Fang seemed to have been thinner these few years, even thinner than when she first got married. She didn't seem to be very happy. Fang had no feelings for him, and then his temper became worse, and he was even worse towards their mother and daughter. Mu Dongcai seemed to have something stuck in his chest. Confuse.

The old lady didn't realize it, and continued to scold: "She is your wife, and I am your mother! Why can't I say it? Don't let me say it, don't let me say it, I just say it! You are a vixen, a broom star , if she is good, she can provoke you every day, make you marry a bully and forget your mother, she can teach your daughter like a shameless little mouse, you look silly, stupid, clumsy, and dirty Ugly, how does it look like our family? Maybe that little mute is a bastard! Chen Fang is shameless, she is really a loser, and she is ashamed to say that she is my granddaughter's real mother. She has not given birth to a child for several years Take the handle, Zhang Guihua came in later than her, but the son born in the family is going to school soon, I think, with her here, our family will not be able to live well, son, listen to the mother, we should drive her away early and come back sooner. marry one..."

The old lady became more and more shameless, and Mu Dong couldn't quarrel with her. Hearing her chattering hurtful words, the fire in his heart shot up, and he threw a bowl in anger. It was Mu Chuan Qing was holding the bowl of porridge in his hand, and it fell very loudly. Mu Chuanqing was dumbfounded, and the old lady also fell silent. Did this kid eat gunpowder?

Mu Dongcai stood stiffly, his face still grim, he didn't bother to correct the old lady's words, he stroked his forehead tiredly, and his temples hurt from anger, "Mom, let's not talk about how much money we got, Since you said that you kept all the money, take it out and let me have a look."

There was no such item in yesterday's emergency measures, and the old lady couldn't think of how to refuse it for a while, so she could only reassure that the money was not missing, not a penny was missing, but she was unwilling to take it out.

Mu Dong didn't speak at all, and moved a stool to sit at the inner door: "Mom, I earned that money by going out to work. What I want to see is my own money. Why can't I see it? If I don't see it today, then I will Don't go." It was the only way he could think of.

"His dad, look, look at this unfilial son, I gave birth to him in ten months of hard work, and he was pulled big by shit and pee. He is the meat that fell from my body, and now his wings are hard. I don’t know if my parents are well, come and bully me, my life is so miserable!”

The old lady's voice was so loud that all the neighbors heard the movement. The neighbors slowly came out of the yard, some hugging their children, some knitting sweaters, and some standing idle, looking this way from time to time.

Mu Dongcai sat at the door and watched clearly. He was a little uncomfortable and felt ashamed. He ignored Mu Chuanqing who was talking nicely on both sides, and persuaded his mother: "It is said that family ugliness should not be publicized. You roared so loudly. Do you want the whole village to know? Then your face will be bright?"

The old lady couldn't do anything about howling just now, but now she is proud of howling. She knows the truth of "thick-skinned meat is thick-skinned and thin-skinned can't be touched", and she is extremely proficient in controlling this method. She knows that her eldest son loves face, but she did not expect It's quite useful at critical times. See if you still have the face to fight with me. Thinking about it this way, her waist became stronger and she became more confident. She said confidently, "What can't you say? Why is your face so pale? Anyway, it’s not me who is ashamed! It’s not me who has no conscience! Whoever is ashamed knows it himself. They say that a son is not too ugly for his mother, and a dog is not too poor for his family. Helping outsiders bully me, this life can't go on, I don't even want me to live..."

After finishing speaking, she looked at the blue veins on Mu Dongcai's forehead and felt very comfortable. Silly boy, I eat more salt than you eat rice. I will let you be provoked by the vixen, and I will let you not listen to me. Let you see if she came up with a good idea, looking forward to the scene where Mu Dong went back to get angry with Chen Fang after being humiliated, she spoke more vigorously, and then she still didn't feel like it was enough, and ran to the road in a hurry , sat down on the ground with a plop, stretched out his legs and began to scold the shrew, patting the ground while crying, saying whatever came out of his mouth.
