The quick-traveling villain has no way to escape.

Song Tingyun ran home all the way and happened to meet Mrs. Song cooking. He consciously ran over to help.

The three sisters were lighting a fire in front of the stove, and Song Tingyun asked her to play while he cooked it.

"What kind of fire do you know? Go and play next to it." Mrs. Song deeply believed that Song Tingyun was a boy and should not work. She would not let Song Tingyun do it.

Grandma didn't say anything, and Third Sister didn't dare to leave. She timidly said, "No, brother, I'll just burn it."

"It's okay." Song Tingyun pushed the little girl to play nearby, sat on the pony and started to add firewood, "It's the same for everyone."

The third sister looked at Old Mrs. Song and did not dare to leave. It was not until Old Mrs. Song spoke that she dared to run and play.

Lunch was very simple, just thick rice with shredded radish and rice soup on the side. Song Tingyun felt that he couldn't eat it just by looking at it.

Mrs. Song used her chopsticks to poke holes in the rice and said, "Xu Mingli's grandma came to our house just now to borrow money. Your parents saw that you wanted to go to the capital with him, so they borrowed one hundred."

"Huh?" Song Tingyun frowned upon hearing this. Mrs. Xu came to borrow money. There was nothing like that in the original plot. "Grandma Xu Mingli came to borrow money?"

"Yeah." Old Mrs. Song sighed, "That old woman has to work hard all her life. Now it's not easy to borrow money from door to door for her grandson."

"This..." Song Tingyun really didn't expect that Mrs. Xu would go to the village to borrow money from door to door, "Can everyone borrow money?"

"Some can borrow but gossip behind their backs, and some can't." Mrs. Song sometimes felt sorry for Mrs. Xu's hard life as a woman. When she was young, her son raised her son up, and finally his son got married. The son followed his father and died early, and his wife ran away.

Song Tingyun didn't say anything. He felt as if he had triggered some hidden plot. According to Xu Mingli's personality, he wanted to go out and break into the house that was impossible to sell.

Therefore, whether the matter of selling the house is the nonsense spread by others, or it is Xu Mingli's plan.

"What if I don't borrow money? I can't really sell the house. I have worked so hard to repair it."

"Who said that Xu Mingli was going to sell the house?" Song Tingyun was confused, who said it first.

After closing the lid of the pot, Mrs. Song looked at Song Tingyun and said, "Isn't it the people who were playing together who started talking about it?"

Song Tingyun: "..."

What a big deal to me, he was the one who spread the rumor.

Xu Mingli on the other side knew that Mrs. Xu went out to borrow money at all costs. It looked like she must have been cashed out and she couldn't pay back the money. Xu Mingli immediately said she didn't want the money.

"Nai, please give this money back to others. You don't need to ask others to borrow money. I will earn the travel expenses myself."

"How do you make money? You have earned travel expenses and living expenses. Why don't you go to a big city and sleep on the streets begging for food?" Mrs. Xu was really driven to despair. As long as there was another way to go, she would not go to the villagers. Borrowing money and suffering from this injustice, "You can't sell the house. If you sell it, you won't even have any money."

"I never said I wanted to sell the house. I don't know who you really listened to." Xu Mingli has always been puzzled. He has never planned to sell the newly built house at home.

He wanted to go out and make a living, but he also knew that this idea was too naive. Many people thought that he was dreaming of getting rich day by day.

But the prerequisite for his success is not to kill his grandma and sister.

"If we don't sell the house, our family won't even be able to get out 50 yuan now." Mrs. Xu burst into tears when she said this. Why did grandma choose a daughter-in-law with bad qualities for you? It's because she has bad qualities. , people don’t want betrothal gifts.

"Forget it if I can't get the money. It's my decision to run out and make a living." Xu Mingli was determined not to let Mrs. Xu borrow money from others. He took the hundreds of dollars that were one, five, ten, and twenty. , intending to return them to others one by one.

"I, Xu Mingli, have to go to the capital to beg for food, and I don't want to eat food from others." I don't want to make steamed buns to fight for my reputation. If it weren't for this reputation, Xu Mingli would not think about going to a big city to work hard. "Tell me the number, I am like this." Just go give the money back to someone else.”

"Li Wazi..." Mrs. Xu was in a dilemma.

"grandmother!"

"Pay it back, I'll go with you to pay it back."

……

Song's father and mother went home at noon. Song Tingyun told them that he didn't plan to celebrate the New Year at home. Xu Mingli was leaving the day after tomorrow, and he wanted to go there early.

When Mrs. Song heard that she would be leaving the day after tomorrow, she couldn't even eat and burst into tears.

Song's father and Song's mother were reluctant to part with him, as Song Ting had never left home until he was so old.

"Can't you just celebrate the New Year before leaving? Why are you in such a hurry? Life in the capital is so easy, so you have to make careful calculations." Song's mother was reluctant to leave her son, and tried her best to persuade Song Tingyun to stay at home and spend the New Year before leaving.

"No." Song Tingyun held the bowl and ate in small bites like cat food, shaking his head like a rattle, "Xu Mingli has already decided on the time, I have to follow him, I can't let others delay it with me. .”

"Then let him go first. After he stabilizes, can't you go find him next spring?"

"No." Song Tingyun didn't want to be separated from Xu Mingli for a minute. The reason to convince the Song family must be reasonable, "It's not like you don't know my virtues. What if I lose myself in the spring next year? At that time, all you really have to do is beg for food.”

The original owner was not smart enough, and was raised crippled by his family. When Song Tingyun said this, Song's mother shut up.

While the family was silent, Mrs. Xu led Xu Mingli to pay back the money.

"Sister Song, are you at home?"

"Here you are." Mrs. Song put down her chopsticks and stood up. "What's the matter?"

"There's nothing wrong. I just asked your family to borrow a hundred yuan this morning. Xu Mingli said I won't need that much, and I'll pay you back the extra money. Thank you."

"What kind words are you talking about?" Mrs. Song followed Mrs. Xu to greet her.

Song Tingyun was holding the bowl and looking straight at Xu Mingli at the door. His face was not very good, he probably suffered some injustice.

Song Tingyun put down his chopsticks and walked out quietly.

As soon as the old ladies started talking, it wouldn't be over for more than ten minutes. Song Tingyun secretly tugged on the corner of Xu Mingli's clothes and called him to the kitchen.

"What's wrong? I think you don't look right." Song Tingyun took Xu Mingli to sit in front of the stove. The residual heat in the stove was still warm.

Xu Mingli had paid back the money and had been ridiculed all the way. His self-esteem had been hit hard. When he saw Song Tingyun caring about him, his depression was gone.

He had no education and couldn't describe what it felt like. He felt that Song Tingyun seemed to have magic power that made him happy.
