Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

About ten minutes later!

"How can he be so stingy! Such a great master only gives one dollar as a gift to his disciple for the first time?" Li Muhua stood in front of the closed mountain gate, holding a banknote tightly in his hand, and said with tears in his eyes.

Originally, he was hoping that Taoist Xu Yi would be generous enough to give him some gold, or if that didn't work, a bag of banknotes would be fine!

Since the coins for Yansheng are exchanged every day like water, shouldn't the temple have the most banknotes?

Who would have thought that in the end he only gave him one dollar and asked his nephew Daojian to carry him and throw him out of the mountain gate. It was such a shame!

"I wanted to tell you the secret and save your life. If you still can't find out the details of the deaf old lady by the weekend, I'll tell you the secret, I'll tell you nothing!"

Li Muhua turned around and looked at the one-yuan note in his hand, saying, "But one yuan is not a small amount. It can cover my two-month allowance. I can buy twenty notebooks or 16 pencils!"

Li Muhua's mood improved a little when he said this. He did not return empty-handed this time. Not only was he about to reveal the answer to the deaf old lady's riddle, but he also got a good trick and even took a small advantage of the old liar. Naturally, he was in a good mood.

Seeing that the night had already fallen and the distant part of the square was a little difficult to see clearly, Li Muhua did not linger to complain any longer and quickly ran towards the bus stop.

"If I don't go back, and my mother gets anxious waiting for me, I'm afraid I'll die if I go back!"

……

Half an hour later!

Li Muhua carefully stepped over the gate and stuck his head out. Seeing that no one was guarding his door, Li Muhua felt relieved.

"What am I afraid of? I left a letter, I went there for the good of our family, and I made some money. What am I afraid of?"

After encouraging himself, Li Muhua straightened his back and walked towards the front door of his house with hunched steps.

"What a coincidence! You're all here!"

Walking to the door of the main room, Li Muhua poked his head inside and greeted people.

Xu Yan and the three children of the Li family were all sitting at the table, staring at him with stern looks on their faces. Even when they saw Li Muhua, no one spoke for a while.

Li Muhua endured several piercing gazes, pretended to be nothing happened and sat down at the table.

"Did you see the letter I left? Let me tell you, if I hadn't been smart enough to go to Baiyun Temple this afternoon, that old liar Xuyi would have really come to our compound tomorrow!"

"Really?"

Li Qinghua asked curiously, but before he could ask the next question, Li Aihua slapped him hard on the head.

"Ouch!"

After a scream, Li Qinghua covered his head pitifully and said nothing more.

Li Muhua also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange at the moment, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Brother, why did you hit my second brother? Let's eat, I'm starving!"

"You've become more capable now, haven't you?"

Xu Yan ignored Li Muhua's hunger and asked coldly, "You even dare to take the bus to Baiyun Temple by yourself. Have you forgotten how we escaped from Baiyun Temple last time?"

When Li Muhua heard Xu Yan talking about the last escape experience, she immediately stood up and said proudly: "Mom, this time is different. This time they threw me out."

Li Muhua complained, "That old liar is so stingy. I just asked him for a mountain of gold, but he only gave me one dollar!"

"Snapped!"

Li Muhua took out a dollar from his pocket and slammed it on the table.

"Really?"

Xu Yan seemed a little surprised when she heard this, but she didn't look at the one dollar on the table. Instead, she looked at Li Muhua and said, "If he really throws it out to you, he won't accept you as his apprentice?"

Seeing the sudden joy on Xu Yan's face, Li Muhua was stunned, and then quickly followed her words and said: "You guessed all this? When I got there, I told the old liar that there is a Bang Geng in our courtyard who is smarter than me, and Bang Geng is more suitable to be his apprentice than me!"

"Then he said he was coming to check it out this weekend, and I asked him for money, but he gave me a dollar and then threw me out!"

"Really? Don't lie to us, little brother. Do you think Mom will not punish you if you try to get away with it?"

Li Aihua stared at Li Muhua with a suspicious look and asked. It was not that he did not believe it, but the old Taoist's enthusiastic attitude last time made him insist on taking Li Muhua as his apprentice. Today he even came to his door.

After going through so much trouble, how could he change his mind just because of a few words from Li Muhua and not accept him as his apprentice, but instead accept Bang Geng, whom he had never met, as his apprentice?

"Of course it's true. You'll understand when you wait until this Sunday. This old liar will definitely come to our compound to watch the show. It will be a lot of fun then!"

Li Muhua then shouted, "Mom, this time I solved a big problem for our family and earned a dollar!"

"I really want to go to Baiyun Temple every day. It's easy and I can make money. How great!" As he said this, Li Muhua raised a dollar above his head and looked at it carefully with eyes like bright stars, looking like a little money-grubber.

Seeing that Li Muhua's words were so certain, Xu Yan couldn't help but believe it a little. She was happy that she no longer had to worry about her youngest son's marriage. But when she looked at his money-grubber appearance, her anger subsided by 80%. In the end, all that was left of her anger was a cold sarcasm.

"You were bribed with just one dollar? And you still want to go there every day? I think you should just stay in the temple and be a Taoist priest. Why go to school?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muhua quickly stuffed the money into his pocket under Li Qinghua's envious gaze, and then said, "That won't work. Not to mention that the old liar is avoiding me now, if I go there every day, will he still give me money every day?

Besides, everyone in the temple eats vegetarian food. Compared to this little money, I still prefer the food you cook, mother!"

After saying this, Li Muhua did not forget to rub her belly, looking pitiful.

At this time, the remaining anger also disappeared. Xu Yan looked at him unhappily, then glanced at the other people and said, "Wait, either you are a debt collector or a starving ghost!"

After saying this, Xu Yan got up and left.

Li Aihua still had a look of doubt on her face at this time, but when she heard Li Muhua say that the old Taoist priest would come on Sunday, she suppressed her doubts and wanted to wait until Sunday.

As soon as Li Qinghua saw Xu Yan leave the door, he immediately approached Li Muhua with a wry smile.

"Little brother, you are the richest among us now. I used to buy you snacks a lot. Now that you have money, shouldn't you--"

Before Li Qinghua could finish speaking, Li Muhua quickly stood up and moved aside to sit down next to Li Yujie.

"What are you doing? Are you going to beat up the landlord? I only have one dollar, not a hundred. If I had a hundred, I would definitely treat you to a duck dinner at Bian Yi Fang. Besides, even if we beat up the landlord, it wouldn't be my turn!"

Li Muhua hugged Li Yujie's arm and said to Li Qinghua, "In our family, the one you should rob is the rich woman, Third Sister. I have already caught her. Whether the robbery is successful depends on your ability, Second Brother."

"Don't let me look down on you!"

“Little brother, you—” Li Qinghua scratched his head as he watched this scene.

When Li Yujie heard Li Muhua say this, her almond-shaped eyes curved like willow leaves.

"Little brother, I'm counting on you to earn a hundred dollars to treat us to a meal at Bian Yi Fang. I'm afraid we'll have to wait for many years. Don't forget it when the time comes."

"Of course..." Li Muhua said as he let go of his hand and stood up carelessly.

"I'm just afraid that the time to earn ten dollars will come too early, and you will all still remember it by then, so I said a hundred dollars, just to make you and I forget it..."

"Little brother, you..."

After Li Muhua's disturbance, the atmosphere at home slowly returned to its former warmth, and the four siblings began to chat and laugh!
