Wife is an enemy general
Chapter 31 Molested him?
001.
Hiding under the quilt and counting on his fingers for a while, Zhong Xiuyuan poked his head out of the quilt again.
He quietly looked at Li Mu's side face in the darkness, Li Mu's closed eyes, Li Mu's straight nose, and Li Mu's slightly parted lips, he couldn't get enough of them.
Li Mu, Li Mu, lying on the bed, Zhong Xiuyuan's mind was full of these two words, and it was all about Li Mu's face.
The more nervous, the more concerned and the more he likes it, the more he can't let it go.The more I can't let it go, the more I want to get closer and get it.But the more this happened, the more cautious he became, not knowing what to do.
Seeing Li Mu sleeping heartlessly, Zhong Xiuyuan felt a little uncomfortable.
The matter of Huo Shuang in the afternoon, the matter of his younger brother, and the matter of the white osmanthus flower in the evening, these things brought him back to reality from the joy of being alone with Li Mu.
Li Mu knew his identity but didn't show any hatred towards him, and even helped him hide his identity to escape Guangtu's search. All this made him have some expectations for Li Mu, hoping that Li Mu would also like it he.
But with the appearance of Bai Osmanthus and the mother and son, he had to recognize the reality.
A person like him probably doesn't deserve to stand by Li Mu's side.
Thinking of this, Zhong Xiuyuan raised the corners of his mouth, and there was a bit of sadness and despair in his dark eyes.
His hands were stained with blood, not only the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers in Daning, but also the blood of Yuan Guo's soldiers. If there really is hell in this world, he must go to eighteen levels of hell after his death.
Zhong Xiuyuan raised his hand silently, and gently traced Li Mu's eyebrows and eyes with his fingers, his eyes were greedy and gentle, "What should I do with you..."
The road was full of bones and blood, but he had to walk because his brother was innocent.
In fact, he couldn't even remember what his younger brother looked like. He was only three years old when he left, and he was still a child who was willing to go out and act like a baby until he was held in his arms.
When he saw him again a few years later, he had grown to around his stomach, and he was changing his teeth. One of his front teeth was missing, and he could barely speak.
He is afraid of him, even children are sensitive, there is no child who is not afraid of a person like him with countless blood stains on his hands.
He was still afraid of being born. A child who grew up in such an environment would be cautious and cautious in everything he did. After being pulled out from behind by his mother and calling him brother, he hid behind his mother again, unwilling to come out again.
When we met again, his appearance had changed again, the only thing that remained unchanged was his personality, he became more reserved, silent and introverted.
He could see that he was still afraid of him when he met him in a hurry at the court, but maybe because he was a little older and more sensible, he looked at him more.
Now that several years have passed, he is growing fast at his age, so he must have changed his appearance again.
Zhong Xiuyuan thought about that blurred face, and there was a twitching pain in his bitter throat.
The blood on his hands, the bones he stepped on, can no longer be washed away or changed, so he doesn't mind killing more people, and he doesn't mind being stained with more blood, he just hopes Not his brother.
Originally, there was only one thought left in his mind, but now, there was one more person living there.
Zhong Xiuyuan's hand stroking the contours of Li Mu's eyebrows and eyes became more and more gentle, and he was a little crazy watching.
He couldn't help but think, it would be great if time could stay at this moment forever.
Now there is no movement from Yuan Guo's side. Once there is movement and news of his younger brother, he will definitely leave.
And this time, he may not be able to come back.
Zhong Xiuyuan lay on the bed and looked at Li Mu's sleeping face, and it lasted all night.
When the morning light illuminated the room, Li Mu, who was full of sleep, opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Zhong Xiuyuan's face staring at him in a daze.
Zhong Xiuyuan didn't sleep all night, his eyes were slightly red, he was lying on the bed, he seemed a little unhappy.
Li Mu, who was about to get up, had no time to move, Zhong Xiuyuan had already reached out and pressed his shoulder, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
While speaking, Zhong Xiuyuan got up by himself.
Li Mu wakes up at this time every day, then cooks, and starts working after breakfast, but today he wants Li Mu to sleep again.
After going out, under the slightly cool morning light, Zhong Xiuyuan rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.
The food in the mountains is simple. In the morning, it is a porridge made from a handful of wild vegetables and half a bamboo tube of bran rice.Zhong Xiuyuan has learned these things, although the taste of the things he makes now is still not one-tenth as good as Li Mu's, but he can already make them look good.
Only after Zhong Xiuyuan finished all these things did Li Mu get up.
He was used to the work and rest schedule in the barracks, even if he was asked to lie on the bed, he couldn't fall asleep.
When Li Mushan ran up and down the mountain and took a shower and changed his clothes, the sun was rising.
Four people including Bai Osmanthus who stayed at Uncle Hong and Xu Tian's house also got up at this moment, Li Mu asked several people to come over for breakfast, and then he had something to say to the mother and son.
When he was running down the mountain in the morning, he thought about it, thinking about letting the three of them settle down in their village.
There are only about [-] households living in their village now, but there are more than that many houses. Before, many people went to relatives or fled, and the houses were empty.
Those houses have been in disrepair for a long time, but they can still be lived in after tidying up. Li Mu's idea was to make those houses.
This mother and son are three orphans and widowed. It is not an option to keep fleeing in this way. There is a place to settle down, and two acres of land in the mountains will be opened later, which can be regarded as a livelihood.
It is not easy to be stable these days.The mother and son hesitated at first, but finally agreed, thanking and crying to Li Mu.
But although this matter has been verbally agreed upon, whether it can be done or not depends on Gong Yubo.
Gong Yubo is the head of their village, he can't control anything on weekdays, but if the mother and son are to settle down in the mountains, they have to go to the grandfather of Shanxia County to register their names, and he has to be asked to help run away It's a trip.
With the relationship between Li Mu and their family, this matter is troublesome.
After eating, Zhong Xiuyuan prepared to pack up his things and go to wash as usual, just like last night, someone snatched him as soon as he made a move.
"I'll do it, I'll do it, these things should be done by women!" Su Dayong's daughter Shu Yu hurried to grab the bowls and chopsticks from Zhong Xiuyuan's hands.
Zhong Xiuyuan wanted to refuse, but his mother said: "Just let her go, we live and eat at your house for free, we have to do something."
After hearing this, Zhong Xiuyuan gave up arguing with that person, he didn't think much about it, he just wanted to make a few people feel comfortable.
But her mother said again: "A family must have a woman to be like a family. Li Mu sees that you are not young at this age, so you must hurry up and settle down."
Hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned.
The next moment, Bai Osmanthus covered her mouth and laughed, she said with a smile under the suspicious gaze of the mother and son: "Sister-in-law of the Su family, you can't say that, if you say it, someone will be unhappy if they hear it .”
After Bai Osmanthus finished speaking, she glanced at Zhong Xiuyuan who was standing next to her meaningfully, and continued: "It's enough to live a comfortable life, don't you think?"
After what Bai Osmanthus said, the mother and daughter finally recovered. They felt strange yesterday. Why is there a man beside Li Mu?
Now that I think about it, the faces of a few people are a little strange.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu remained expressionless, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.Zhong Xiuyuan, who was standing by the side, felt uncomfortable and sour all the time.
How is his life with Li Mu, and when does he need others to tell him what to do?
Zhong Xiuyuan thought so, turned his head and glanced at the silent Li Mu beside him, and got a little tired again.
Li Mu is actually a simple person. He doesn't pay much attention to his daily life. As long as things can be used, clothes can be worn. The only thing he cares about is his mouth. He loves to eat.
He had never paid attention to these trivial matters before, but now he felt that he should pay more attention.In the barracks, he hooked his fingers and used to be a thousand troops, but now the two live together, but they can't all be so rough.
After eating and tidying up the house, and letting a few people rest at home, Li Mu prepared to drive the ducks to the pond.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiuyuan quickly stood up and followed, "I'll go with you."
Li Mu was a little surprised by Zhong Xiuyuan's initiative, since yesterday afternoon he has been clingy.
Li Mu nodded, and after releasing the duck from the cage, he watched Zhong Xiuyuan drive the duck down the hill, "Then you go."
Zhong Xiuyuan, who was just happy, paused his steps. He turned his head to look at Li Mu who stopped and didn't plan to go together. Li Mu, isn't he going?
"If there are guests at home, someone should be left to watch over them," Li Mu said.
Zhong Xiuyuan was speechless.
Li Mu won't go, what else is he going to do?
Zhong Xiuyuan glanced at Su Yu who was sitting in the room, he felt a little regretful, if he knew earlier, he might as well have let Li Mu go to the ducks and let him stay.
After Li Mu explained a few words, he walked towards the middle of the house. Seeing this, Zhong Xiuyuan had no choice but to take a nearby branch and drive a group of ducks down the hill.
Driving the ducks to the intersection down the mountain, Zhong Xiuyuan's footsteps became slower and slower, and finally he stopped, squatted down and talked to the ducks in front of him, "How about you go by yourself?"
Zhong Xiuyuan knew that he was a bit stupid at the moment, but when he thought of giving Li Mu and Su Yu a chance to be alone together, he felt uncomfortable.
"If I don't go back, your duck fathers will be abducted!" Zhong Xiuyuan said with red ears.
After hearing Zhong Xiuyuan's words, a group of half-grown ducks ignored Zhong Xiuyuan and continued to walk down one by one. Zhong Xiuyuan stood in place for a while, and then walked back when he saw all the ducks walking down the mountain.
Zhong Xiuyuan turned back and walked this way up the mountain. The village was bustling, and he didn't know what was going on.
When he arrived at the door of the house, he was about to ask when he saw Li Mu and others leaving the door, "What's wrong?"
Xu Tian, who was going outside together to watch the fun, said, "Master Sun's house is here to pick you up at the foot of the mountain."
Zhang Shulan and Mr. Sun's family agreed on the middle of this month, that is, one or two days.
At noon today, Mr. Sun led the people up the mountain in a hurry, ready to take Gong Yinyin away. Everything was going according to plan, but when the handover happened, Li Xiaoxuan suddenly went crazy.
After Zhang Shulan and Gong Guangyuan had a big fight before, Zhang Shulan's head had been suffering from migraines, which hadn't recovered. This morning, she was in so much pain that she couldn't get up. Seeing Master Sun coming, she managed to hold on Ready to settle the bill.
It turned out to be a good thing, the little girl was unwilling to follow no matter what she said, which made Zhang Shulan very angry.
After beating and scolding, she was finally asked to change into a better dress and tidy up. As a result, Li Xiaoxuan started to make trouble again. She refused to let Zhang Shulan hand over Gong Yinyin to Master Sun.
Zhang Shulan pulled Gong Yinyin's hair out of the door with one hand, pointed at Li Xiaoxuan with the other and cursed, "...after so many years, you gave birth to such a loser who eats mine and wears mine. I found a good man to marry, and you still dare to stop her..."
Hearing Zhang Shulan's words, some people who watched the excitement were displeased, "This Master Sun can also be regarded as a good family?"
Zhang Shulan glared at the man, "My Gong family's affairs are none of your business, I want you to talk nonsense here!"
"You..." The people around were very angry when they saw this. The momentum of Zhang Shulan's family is not as strong as before. Li Mu came out of the village, and after knowing that Gong Guangyuan was beaten and disabled, everyone followed suit. Big up.
They didn't dare to point at Zhang Shulan and dare not do anything, but they still dared to say a few words in the open and in the dark.
"You are not afraid of being punished by God, such a nine-year-old baby..." An old woman pointed to the mass grave behind the mountain and said, "The hell will not accept such a small child if he dies, and he will pester you sooner or later! "
The people in the mountain were all a bit distracted, and Zhang Shulan was a little nervous when she heard this, but she couldn't just back down like this when the situation came to an end.
So she bit the bullet and pointed at the old woman and cursed, "Don't fart there, the hell will not accept her if she really dies, and she will pester you, an old man, waiting for you to go down and be her companion."
Zhang Shulan's words directly angered the old woman's family, but she has no other skills, so she is so good at talking, that family can't quarrel with her alone.
There was a lot of noise in the small courtyard. After Zhang Shulan scolded those people, she went to scold Li Xiaoxuan again. She thought that if she taught Li Xiaoxuan a lesson, she would be as obedient as before.
As a result, what she never expected was that when she turned around after quarreling with that family, Li Xiaoxuan rushed towards her like crazy!
Li Xiaoxuan really went crazy this time, she rushed forward and knocked Zhang Shulan to the ground, then grabbed Zhang Shulan's head and slammed it on the ground.She tried her best every time, which was really cruel to kill.
Li Xiaoxuan is usually gentle and gentle and has a bully temperament, but once such a person goes crazy, it is far more terrifying than a person who is usually crazy.
"...You bitch..." Zhang Shulan tried to resist, but Li Xiaoxuan didn't give her this chance at all. She imitated how Zhang Shulan beat her daughter, and pulled Zhang Shulan's hair desperately.
At this moment when everyone was stupefied by Li Xiaoxuan's madness, Gong Yinyin, who was crying at the door, stood up suddenly. She quickly ran to the door to grab firewood as thick as her arm, and ran to Zhang Shulan's side to die. hit her.
She was beating, crying, beating and cursing, although she was small, her strength was definitely not small, "I let you hit me, I let you hit my mother..."
"Ouch... Get away..." Zhang Shulan was a little weak to deal with Li Xiaoxuan alone, but now with Gong Yinyin added, it immediately became the only place to be beaten.
Hearing Zhang Shulan's roar, everyone came back to their senses, and were hesitating whether to go forward, when they saw Gong Yubo running over from a distance, "What are you doing!"
Seeing this, Gong Yubo was about to go forward to pull Li Xiaoxuan. Gong Yinyin threw the stick and rushed over, grabbing her grandfather and not letting her grandfather drag her mother Li Xiaoxuan.
As far as Gong Yinyin is concerned, her character really follows Zhang Shulan and Gong Guangyuan's. She is stubborn, holds grudges, and can do anything. Originally, she always held grudges when she was often bullied by Zhang Shulan. There was a mad killing intent in his eyes.
002.
"Go away, don't pull my mother..."
Gong Yubo was not at home before, he was going to pick up Master Sun and his party, and when they were making a fuss, he brought Master Sun's people to his yard, and saw such a scene of family strife and fighting as soon as he came.
"This is..." Master Sun, who was over half a century old, had a face as black as charcoal.
"What are you doing, what are you doing..." Gong Yubo was also taken aback by this scene, he slapped his legs and shouted.
He has a simple and honest personality. After marrying Zhang Shulan, he has been suppressed all the time, but he still lives in the end.
But he never imagined that one day his home would become like this.
Gong Yinyin didn't know where the strength came from, she just pushed him to the ground, and then rushed forward to hold him desperately.
Over there, after Li Xiaoxuan knocked Zhang Shulan's head violently, she grabbed Zhang Shulan's neck with both hands and was exerting all her strength.
After she went to find Li Mu before, she actually hated him a little. She hated that Li Mu had the ability to help but was unwilling to help. But after she figured out what Li Mu said, she thanked Li Mu a little.
On this matter, Li Mu has seen more thoroughly than her.
This family will not let her and her daughter go, as long as they are alive, they will never let go, even if this time passes, there will definitely be a next time!
Li Mu can protect them once, but it is impossible to protect them for a lifetime.
"Go to hell, go to hell..." Li Xiaoxuan sat on Zhang Shulan's body with disheveled hair and dirty face, her hands tightly clutching Zhang Shulan's neck, her eyes were full of madness and murderous intent.
Only when the whole family dies can her daughter really get rid of them.
She is not afraid of death, as long as her daughter can live well.
Seeing that Zhang Shulan's face turned red and she rolled her eyes to the point of fainting, Master Sun, who had been watching from the side, said, "Why are you still standing here if you haven't stepped forward to pull people away?"
Hearing Master Sun's voice, the people he brought up with him quickly stepped forward and pulled them away.
Li Xiaoxuan was supported by two men, one on the left and the other on the right, but she was still struggling to lift her feet on Zhang Shulan's body, "Let me go, get out, my daughter won't marry!"
"Mother..." Gong Yinyin was crying until her voice was hoarse. The people around Master Sun grabbed her hand, and she couldn't struggle no matter how hard she struggled.
When Li Mu and others came here, they saw such a scene.
Li Xiaoxuan rushed forward like crazy with two people holding her up. Zhang Shulan lay on the ground looking like she was breathing in less air and exhaling more. Gong Yubo sat blankly on the ground beside her. around.
"Grandpa, grandpa, please, I don't want to marry him..." Gong Yinyin struggled, so she turned back to beg Gong Yubo, "Grandpa..."
In their family, Gong Yubo was the only one who treated their wives better.
"grandfather……"
Hearing Gong Yinyin's heart-piercing cry, Gong Yubo seemed to have recovered from the shock, "Yinyin..."
Seeing the scene where the two are deeply in love, Mr. Sun, who has been standing by the side, became angry, "What are you guys doing?"
A good day is a matter of life and death, these people are just trying to make him unhappy, right?
The money was negotiated at the beginning, and he didn't cheat, cheat, and rob. What are these people doing now?You just want to make him ashamed and ridiculed, right?
The people around were originally lively, but now they are all quiet.
Zhang Shulan regained her strength now, coughed and opened her eyes, but everyone ignored her.Many people even thought, why didn't this person swallow his breath and let it go?
How good she was dead!Even if you die, you won't do such a crime.
"Grandpa..." Gong Yinyin turned her head and bit the back of the hand of the man who grabbed her. The man was caught off guard by the pain, and immediately slapped her.
That blow directly knocked Gong Yinyin down to her knees, bleeding from the corners of her nose and mouth, but even this blow loosened her hands.
Seeing this, Gong Yinyin didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly ran towards her grandfather, "Grandpa, don't sell me, okay..."
Gong Yubo was not the kind of hard-hearted person, seeing Gong Yinyin like this now, his heart immediately softened.
Looking at Zhang Shulan who couldn't get up on the ground for a long time, he didn't know what he was thinking. He took Gong Yinyin into the house and took out a small bag, "We won't get married..."
Gong Yubo stopped selling his granddaughter, but is it that simple?
"If you say you won't sell it, you won't sell it. Then where will I put my face?" Master Sun's face was black as coal, panting with anger, "And the deposit back then was more than that, right?"
When he agreed with Zhang Shulan to buy the doll, he gave a deposit of one or two and a half, and the rest of the bag is estimated to be only half a tael of copper coins, which is not enough.
Gong Yubo's face turned pale when he heard the words. The money went to Zhang Shulan and Gong Guangyuan's medical treatment. Their family had no money in the first place, so where would they raise it now?
"Take him away!" Master Sun glanced at Gong Yubo with a black face, turned around and left.
Although he was fifty years old, his lean body was still strong, and he was quite imposing at the moment.
When he turned around, he glanced at Gong Yinyin who was hiding behind Gong Yubo, and there was already a little bit of displeasure in his eyes.
It's so noisy, I can't stay.
After Mr. Sun gave the order, the rest of the people he brought rushed forward to arrest them. Gong Yinyin wanted to run but couldn't.
The scene was in chaos again, and it was Gong Yubo's kneeling that broke the chaos.
This honest man in his 40s and almost 50 years old knelt down to the people in the village, "My daughter is no longer for sale, please lend me some money, please..."
The Gong family is very popular in the village, but in fact Gong Yubo knows very well that no family in the village likes their family.
He knew that he couldn't borrow money, so he went to the doctor in a hurry and knelt down, "I was wrong, I won't sell it, please lend me some money..."
Gong Yubo's hoarse voice spread in the courtyard. At his age, it should be time for An to enjoy his old age, but he was kneeling in this courtyard with his gray hair on top.
He kowtowed and prostrated in all directions, but no one said anything.
The people in the village looked at him quietly. They had no money, and they invested a lot in buying ducks and feed.And even if they have money in their hands, they may not lend it out in this situation.
The Gong family has collapsed, and anyone with a discerning eye will know it at a glance.Even if they borrowed the money, they would definitely not get it back.
Seeing this turning point, Li Xiaoxuan quickly knelt down and begged the people around her.But when the people around met her tearful eyes, they all turned their heads sideways.
Zhong Xiuyuan only heard a soft sigh coming from his ear, and the next moment, the people standing beside him moved.
Li Mu walked out of the crowd and stopped in front of Master Sun.
He took out a money bag from his pocket and handed it to Mr. Sun, "I have a tael of silver here. I bought this girl from you."
That money was earned from selling ducks and feed, and that was all he had.
Li Mu's Cheng Yaojin who came out suddenly made Master Sun frowned. He opened his mouth and was about to get angry, when Li Mu said indifferently: "You can't hold back when you bring this person back, why don't you just sell it to me?" , Today, you will be treated as a joke by Mr. Sun."
What Li Mu said made sense, and he had been thinking about it.
After all, he is everyone in the town, if this matter is really spread, it is uncertain how many people will be caught and have to talk about it.
"Look, the money is all together." Li Mu picked up the money bag that Master Sun had thrown on the ground before, and handed it over to the Gong family.
One and a half silver, all here.
"I'm selling you to save face." Master Sun looked at the money bag, then at Li Mu who was about to settle the matter, snorted coldly, took the money bag, and went down the mountain.
Seeing this, the people he brought hurriedly followed.
As soon as the members of the Sun family left, the mountain became bustling immediately. The people who had been watching coldly just now gathered together and talked about what happened just now, as if they had forgotten what happened just now.
Li Mu ignored the people around him, he came to Gong Yubo and looked down at the gray-haired man who was still kneeling on the ground, and said in an extremely indifferent tone: "There is no need to pay back the money, Gong Yinyin will follow me from now on."
Gong Yubo raised his head in astonishment, and Li Xiaoxuan at the side immediately got up and pulled Gong Yinyin and pushed her to Li Mu's side, "Go..."
Gong Yinyin wiped her tears, she looked at her mother bewilderedly.
"Go..." Li Xiaoxuan pushed her again.
Only then did Gong Yinyin approach Li Mu, crying and stretching out her hand to grab Li Mu's sleeve.
Seeing this development, everyone was a little surprised and talked a lot.
In the corner of the crowd, Gong Guangyuan, who didn't know when he would come back, chuckled, looking at Zhang Shulan who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, his eyes were full of sarcasm.
And Zhang Shulan, who had been ignored by everyone from the very beginning, and was paralyzed on the ground with burning neck pain, unable to get up, was extremely anxious and terrified at the moment.
She looked at the people around her, she looked at Gong Yubo who didn't see her at all, she looked at the desperate killing intent in Li Xiaoxuan's eyes, she looked at her son who had been precious for half his life looking at her coldly, his eyes were even full of sarcasm .
What pervaded her body at that moment was not pain and anger, but a bone-chilling coldness. She didn't know what happened. She should have been the village chief's wife and the envy of everyone, not the existence she has now. ...
"Ah..." Zhang Shulan tried to speak, but her throat seemed to be broken and she couldn't make a sound.
Not only her throat, but Zhang Shulan felt that every part of her body was in unbearable pain, as if being whipped by countless thorns.
Big beads of cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and she kept sucking in the cold air, but the pain didn't disappear, but intensified, driving her to go crazy.
No one paid any attention to her. After watching the excitement, everyone dispersed early.
Li Mu also took that group of people back home.
Gong Yinyin's arrival turned Li Mu's original four guests into five, making it even more crowded.
After that, Li Mu went to Gong Yubo again two days later, and told him about Shu, Su Dayong and their mother and son. Gong Yubo was very quick to help.
After taking the mother and son to the foot of the mountain to register their names, Li Mu helped clean up a better house in the village and let the three of them live in it.
As for Gong Yinyin, because of her young age, Xu Tian offered to let her live in her house temporarily.
There is also a child in Xu Tian's family. He is about the same age as Gong Yinyin.Xu Tian's original words are that raising one is still raising one, and raising two is just a pair of chopsticks.
Li Mu accepted Xu Tian's help.
Originally, Gong Yinyin was bought back by him under such circumstances. If she still lives with him, those people in the village might say some nasty things behind her back.
003.
He didn't have the slightest idea of Gong Yinyin in this regard. Aside from Gong Yinyin's current appearance as a brat, he wouldn't like her even if she grew up to be pretty.
This is mainly because of her temper.
After discussing this matter with Xu Tian, Li Mu turned around and talked to Gong Yinyin that afternoon, "... put away your temper and follow Xu Tian to learn how to deal with people, and don't play tricks on me."
Although Gong Yinyin is still young, she has already learned a lot from Zhang Shulan and Gong Guangyuan's temperament. From the time when the Gong family made a fuss, she can see that she has a lot of heart.
As soon as Li Mu said this, Gong Yinyin's eyes immediately turned red, but what followed was her maturity beyond her age, "I see, uncle."
"Get up early tomorrow and follow me to do things." Li Mu said.
Although Gong Yinyin lived in Xu Tian's house, he was still responsible for the living expenses, after all, he brought the people back.
In addition, Li Mu also wanted to ask Gong Yinyin to do something for him, and it happened that he was too busy right now.
Gong Yinyin has already learned those bad tempers at such a young age. Although he has no obligation to help correct her, he definitely has no obligation to pamper her.
Gong Yinyin nodded and wiped her tears, "Uncle, can I be your daughter-in-law when I grow up?"
Li Mu glanced at her, but said nothing.
Recently, Zhong Xiuyuan, who has become very clingy to Li Mu, follows wherever he goes, but after hearing this, he took a step forward and stood side by side with Li Mu.
Gong Yinyin looked at Zhong Xiuyuan, smiled at Li Mu as if she remembered something, then turned and ran away.
Zhong Xiuyuan saw all of this, and seeing Gong Yinyin running away, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help looking back at Li Mu with a bit of taste, all of them were catching up.
Ever since Su Yu lived in the village, she had been running to his house every three days, helping with the dishes today and the clothes the next day, and she only had to help spread the quilt.
"I might go out of town in two days." Li Mu said suddenly.
Zhong Xiuyuan was slightly startled at first, then immediately said, "I'm coming too."
Hearing this, Li Mu looked at Zhong Xiuyuan a little strangely. Recently, he didn't know what happened to Zhong Xiuyuan, and he became more and more clingy.
"It's fine for me to go alone, and you will take care of it at home." When Li Mu spoke, he looked towards the distance beyond the mountain.
It has been almost four months since he retired from the military, and his ducks have grown into half-sized ducks in four months, and the ducks will grow up in another month or so.
Originally, his plan was to keep some of the ducks for laying eggs after they were raised, and sell the rest, but because of frequent incidents recently, he hardly had time to go around the area.
Everyone in the village made up that there was a big boss behind him, and everyone was jealous, but only he knew that the sale of his duck had become a problem now.
Their village is remote, and the town at the foot of the village is not considered prosperous. The reason is not because of how remote their place is, but because of the bad location.
In their place, walking a short distance forward is an extremely prosperous metropolis, and walking further back is a junction of several canals, which is also a big town.
And there is an official road between these two places, the official road is some distance away from them, the dock, the city capital, and the town form a triangle.
From the wharf to the city, most people prefer to take the official road and not pass through their town, because that is a detour.
Merchants don't come, and the place is not big, so over time, no one cares about their place.
In this town at the foot of the mountain, Li Mu had already inquired about it when he started raising ducks. If he wanted to sell the ducks to the town, he would basically make little money.
The first town is too small, and the sales volume will not be much. If his group of ducks are sold for retail, it is estimated that they will not be able to sell them all in a month.Second, few people in this place can afford this food.
It’s okay to buy one once in a while to try something new. He has a total of fifty or sixty, not counting other people in the village who will also sell it at that time. With such inflation, it may be even more difficult to sell.
It was definitely not possible in the town, so Li Mu made his idea to the nearby docks and the city.
He has been serving as a soldier in the military camp for the past few years, and he is not familiar with the two places. He didn't find much useful information after asking Uncle Hong, so after thinking about it a few times, he decided to go and see for himself.
His main purpose is to find some big vendors, or some restaurants and restaurants. Such places have a large and stable demand. It would be best if they can cooperate for a long time.
Now Li Mu hasn't decided where to go, because both places are far away from their town, and it would take more than a month to visit both places, so he can only choose one place to try first.
Before, he moved his mind to help Gong Yinyin, but he was actually motivated by selfishness.
Next, he will go to the nearby market to look at the market, and this walk will take at least half a month.As soon as he left, all the family affairs basically had to fall on Zhong Xiuyuan.
The ducks are already so big, and they are free-range. They have to go up the mountain to hunt weeds for feed every day, and there are still things to do in the field. It is difficult for one person to be busy with so many things.
He could also ask Uncle Hong for help, and Uncle Hong would definitely not refuse, but Uncle Hong still had something to do in his own field, so he had to take Yun'er with him.
Li Mu of Xu Tian's family had also considered it before. Xu Tian has a straightforward personality, and she will help her to some extent when asked for help, but just like Uncle Hong, she still has a family to take care of.
After thinking about it, Li Mu originally wanted to go down the mountain to invite someone, but at this time Li Xiaoxuan just came to the door.
At that time, he didn't have such a clear idea. It was after seeing Li Xiaoxuan's crazy appearance in the yard that he suddenly had this idea.
He will continue to do the business of ducks. This time raising dozens of ducks is just a trial run. He will add more ducks after he confirms the market, and he will definitely add more people to help.
He also spent money when he went down the mountain to ask someone to help. Although Gong Yinyin is not as good as an adult, she is a child of a poor family, and she was born in Zhang Shulan's family. She has done farm work since she was a child. no problem.
In this way, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
He is prepared to make the farm bigger, but that will be a few years later. As for whether Gong Yinyin is willing to stay and help after a few years, that will be discussed at that time.
Li Mu briefly explained his plan to Zhong Xiuyuan, "It may take more than ten days for me to come back after leaving, you have to stay and help watch, Uncle Hong will also help."
After Zhong Xiuyuan heard the words, he was silent for a moment to think, and after Li Mu returned home, he said: "I think it's best for you to go to the dock."
"Why?" Li Mu asked.
When the sun was setting, the two sat down in the main room after a busy day.
"According to what you said, the city is very large and prosperous. Presumably all kinds of businesses have their own stable outlets. If you go at this time, unless
Hiding under the quilt and counting on his fingers for a while, Zhong Xiuyuan poked his head out of the quilt again.
He quietly looked at Li Mu's side face in the darkness, Li Mu's closed eyes, Li Mu's straight nose, and Li Mu's slightly parted lips, he couldn't get enough of them.
Li Mu, Li Mu, lying on the bed, Zhong Xiuyuan's mind was full of these two words, and it was all about Li Mu's face.
The more nervous, the more concerned and the more he likes it, the more he can't let it go.The more I can't let it go, the more I want to get closer and get it.But the more this happened, the more cautious he became, not knowing what to do.
Seeing Li Mu sleeping heartlessly, Zhong Xiuyuan felt a little uncomfortable.
The matter of Huo Shuang in the afternoon, the matter of his younger brother, and the matter of the white osmanthus flower in the evening, these things brought him back to reality from the joy of being alone with Li Mu.
Li Mu knew his identity but didn't show any hatred towards him, and even helped him hide his identity to escape Guangtu's search. All this made him have some expectations for Li Mu, hoping that Li Mu would also like it he.
But with the appearance of Bai Osmanthus and the mother and son, he had to recognize the reality.
A person like him probably doesn't deserve to stand by Li Mu's side.
Thinking of this, Zhong Xiuyuan raised the corners of his mouth, and there was a bit of sadness and despair in his dark eyes.
His hands were stained with blood, not only the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers in Daning, but also the blood of Yuan Guo's soldiers. If there really is hell in this world, he must go to eighteen levels of hell after his death.
Zhong Xiuyuan raised his hand silently, and gently traced Li Mu's eyebrows and eyes with his fingers, his eyes were greedy and gentle, "What should I do with you..."
The road was full of bones and blood, but he had to walk because his brother was innocent.
In fact, he couldn't even remember what his younger brother looked like. He was only three years old when he left, and he was still a child who was willing to go out and act like a baby until he was held in his arms.
When he saw him again a few years later, he had grown to around his stomach, and he was changing his teeth. One of his front teeth was missing, and he could barely speak.
He is afraid of him, even children are sensitive, there is no child who is not afraid of a person like him with countless blood stains on his hands.
He was still afraid of being born. A child who grew up in such an environment would be cautious and cautious in everything he did. After being pulled out from behind by his mother and calling him brother, he hid behind his mother again, unwilling to come out again.
When we met again, his appearance had changed again, the only thing that remained unchanged was his personality, he became more reserved, silent and introverted.
He could see that he was still afraid of him when he met him in a hurry at the court, but maybe because he was a little older and more sensible, he looked at him more.
Now that several years have passed, he is growing fast at his age, so he must have changed his appearance again.
Zhong Xiuyuan thought about that blurred face, and there was a twitching pain in his bitter throat.
The blood on his hands, the bones he stepped on, can no longer be washed away or changed, so he doesn't mind killing more people, and he doesn't mind being stained with more blood, he just hopes Not his brother.
Originally, there was only one thought left in his mind, but now, there was one more person living there.
Zhong Xiuyuan's hand stroking the contours of Li Mu's eyebrows and eyes became more and more gentle, and he was a little crazy watching.
He couldn't help but think, it would be great if time could stay at this moment forever.
Now there is no movement from Yuan Guo's side. Once there is movement and news of his younger brother, he will definitely leave.
And this time, he may not be able to come back.
Zhong Xiuyuan lay on the bed and looked at Li Mu's sleeping face, and it lasted all night.
When the morning light illuminated the room, Li Mu, who was full of sleep, opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Zhong Xiuyuan's face staring at him in a daze.
Zhong Xiuyuan didn't sleep all night, his eyes were slightly red, he was lying on the bed, he seemed a little unhappy.
Li Mu, who was about to get up, had no time to move, Zhong Xiuyuan had already reached out and pressed his shoulder, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
While speaking, Zhong Xiuyuan got up by himself.
Li Mu wakes up at this time every day, then cooks, and starts working after breakfast, but today he wants Li Mu to sleep again.
After going out, under the slightly cool morning light, Zhong Xiuyuan rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.
The food in the mountains is simple. In the morning, it is a porridge made from a handful of wild vegetables and half a bamboo tube of bran rice.Zhong Xiuyuan has learned these things, although the taste of the things he makes now is still not one-tenth as good as Li Mu's, but he can already make them look good.
Only after Zhong Xiuyuan finished all these things did Li Mu get up.
He was used to the work and rest schedule in the barracks, even if he was asked to lie on the bed, he couldn't fall asleep.
When Li Mushan ran up and down the mountain and took a shower and changed his clothes, the sun was rising.
Four people including Bai Osmanthus who stayed at Uncle Hong and Xu Tian's house also got up at this moment, Li Mu asked several people to come over for breakfast, and then he had something to say to the mother and son.
When he was running down the mountain in the morning, he thought about it, thinking about letting the three of them settle down in their village.
There are only about [-] households living in their village now, but there are more than that many houses. Before, many people went to relatives or fled, and the houses were empty.
Those houses have been in disrepair for a long time, but they can still be lived in after tidying up. Li Mu's idea was to make those houses.
This mother and son are three orphans and widowed. It is not an option to keep fleeing in this way. There is a place to settle down, and two acres of land in the mountains will be opened later, which can be regarded as a livelihood.
It is not easy to be stable these days.The mother and son hesitated at first, but finally agreed, thanking and crying to Li Mu.
But although this matter has been verbally agreed upon, whether it can be done or not depends on Gong Yubo.
Gong Yubo is the head of their village, he can't control anything on weekdays, but if the mother and son are to settle down in the mountains, they have to go to the grandfather of Shanxia County to register their names, and he has to be asked to help run away It's a trip.
With the relationship between Li Mu and their family, this matter is troublesome.
After eating, Zhong Xiuyuan prepared to pack up his things and go to wash as usual, just like last night, someone snatched him as soon as he made a move.
"I'll do it, I'll do it, these things should be done by women!" Su Dayong's daughter Shu Yu hurried to grab the bowls and chopsticks from Zhong Xiuyuan's hands.
Zhong Xiuyuan wanted to refuse, but his mother said: "Just let her go, we live and eat at your house for free, we have to do something."
After hearing this, Zhong Xiuyuan gave up arguing with that person, he didn't think much about it, he just wanted to make a few people feel comfortable.
But her mother said again: "A family must have a woman to be like a family. Li Mu sees that you are not young at this age, so you must hurry up and settle down."
Hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned.
The next moment, Bai Osmanthus covered her mouth and laughed, she said with a smile under the suspicious gaze of the mother and son: "Sister-in-law of the Su family, you can't say that, if you say it, someone will be unhappy if they hear it .”
After Bai Osmanthus finished speaking, she glanced at Zhong Xiuyuan who was standing next to her meaningfully, and continued: "It's enough to live a comfortable life, don't you think?"
After what Bai Osmanthus said, the mother and daughter finally recovered. They felt strange yesterday. Why is there a man beside Li Mu?
Now that I think about it, the faces of a few people are a little strange.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu remained expressionless, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.Zhong Xiuyuan, who was standing by the side, felt uncomfortable and sour all the time.
How is his life with Li Mu, and when does he need others to tell him what to do?
Zhong Xiuyuan thought so, turned his head and glanced at the silent Li Mu beside him, and got a little tired again.
Li Mu is actually a simple person. He doesn't pay much attention to his daily life. As long as things can be used, clothes can be worn. The only thing he cares about is his mouth. He loves to eat.
He had never paid attention to these trivial matters before, but now he felt that he should pay more attention.In the barracks, he hooked his fingers and used to be a thousand troops, but now the two live together, but they can't all be so rough.
After eating and tidying up the house, and letting a few people rest at home, Li Mu prepared to drive the ducks to the pond.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiuyuan quickly stood up and followed, "I'll go with you."
Li Mu was a little surprised by Zhong Xiuyuan's initiative, since yesterday afternoon he has been clingy.
Li Mu nodded, and after releasing the duck from the cage, he watched Zhong Xiuyuan drive the duck down the hill, "Then you go."
Zhong Xiuyuan, who was just happy, paused his steps. He turned his head to look at Li Mu who stopped and didn't plan to go together. Li Mu, isn't he going?
"If there are guests at home, someone should be left to watch over them," Li Mu said.
Zhong Xiuyuan was speechless.
Li Mu won't go, what else is he going to do?
Zhong Xiuyuan glanced at Su Yu who was sitting in the room, he felt a little regretful, if he knew earlier, he might as well have let Li Mu go to the ducks and let him stay.
After Li Mu explained a few words, he walked towards the middle of the house. Seeing this, Zhong Xiuyuan had no choice but to take a nearby branch and drive a group of ducks down the hill.
Driving the ducks to the intersection down the mountain, Zhong Xiuyuan's footsteps became slower and slower, and finally he stopped, squatted down and talked to the ducks in front of him, "How about you go by yourself?"
Zhong Xiuyuan knew that he was a bit stupid at the moment, but when he thought of giving Li Mu and Su Yu a chance to be alone together, he felt uncomfortable.
"If I don't go back, your duck fathers will be abducted!" Zhong Xiuyuan said with red ears.
After hearing Zhong Xiuyuan's words, a group of half-grown ducks ignored Zhong Xiuyuan and continued to walk down one by one. Zhong Xiuyuan stood in place for a while, and then walked back when he saw all the ducks walking down the mountain.
Zhong Xiuyuan turned back and walked this way up the mountain. The village was bustling, and he didn't know what was going on.
When he arrived at the door of the house, he was about to ask when he saw Li Mu and others leaving the door, "What's wrong?"
Xu Tian, who was going outside together to watch the fun, said, "Master Sun's house is here to pick you up at the foot of the mountain."
Zhang Shulan and Mr. Sun's family agreed on the middle of this month, that is, one or two days.
At noon today, Mr. Sun led the people up the mountain in a hurry, ready to take Gong Yinyin away. Everything was going according to plan, but when the handover happened, Li Xiaoxuan suddenly went crazy.
After Zhang Shulan and Gong Guangyuan had a big fight before, Zhang Shulan's head had been suffering from migraines, which hadn't recovered. This morning, she was in so much pain that she couldn't get up. Seeing Master Sun coming, she managed to hold on Ready to settle the bill.
It turned out to be a good thing, the little girl was unwilling to follow no matter what she said, which made Zhang Shulan very angry.
After beating and scolding, she was finally asked to change into a better dress and tidy up. As a result, Li Xiaoxuan started to make trouble again. She refused to let Zhang Shulan hand over Gong Yinyin to Master Sun.
Zhang Shulan pulled Gong Yinyin's hair out of the door with one hand, pointed at Li Xiaoxuan with the other and cursed, "...after so many years, you gave birth to such a loser who eats mine and wears mine. I found a good man to marry, and you still dare to stop her..."
Hearing Zhang Shulan's words, some people who watched the excitement were displeased, "This Master Sun can also be regarded as a good family?"
Zhang Shulan glared at the man, "My Gong family's affairs are none of your business, I want you to talk nonsense here!"
"You..." The people around were very angry when they saw this. The momentum of Zhang Shulan's family is not as strong as before. Li Mu came out of the village, and after knowing that Gong Guangyuan was beaten and disabled, everyone followed suit. Big up.
They didn't dare to point at Zhang Shulan and dare not do anything, but they still dared to say a few words in the open and in the dark.
"You are not afraid of being punished by God, such a nine-year-old baby..." An old woman pointed to the mass grave behind the mountain and said, "The hell will not accept such a small child if he dies, and he will pester you sooner or later! "
The people in the mountain were all a bit distracted, and Zhang Shulan was a little nervous when she heard this, but she couldn't just back down like this when the situation came to an end.
So she bit the bullet and pointed at the old woman and cursed, "Don't fart there, the hell will not accept her if she really dies, and she will pester you, an old man, waiting for you to go down and be her companion."
Zhang Shulan's words directly angered the old woman's family, but she has no other skills, so she is so good at talking, that family can't quarrel with her alone.
There was a lot of noise in the small courtyard. After Zhang Shulan scolded those people, she went to scold Li Xiaoxuan again. She thought that if she taught Li Xiaoxuan a lesson, she would be as obedient as before.
As a result, what she never expected was that when she turned around after quarreling with that family, Li Xiaoxuan rushed towards her like crazy!
Li Xiaoxuan really went crazy this time, she rushed forward and knocked Zhang Shulan to the ground, then grabbed Zhang Shulan's head and slammed it on the ground.She tried her best every time, which was really cruel to kill.
Li Xiaoxuan is usually gentle and gentle and has a bully temperament, but once such a person goes crazy, it is far more terrifying than a person who is usually crazy.
"...You bitch..." Zhang Shulan tried to resist, but Li Xiaoxuan didn't give her this chance at all. She imitated how Zhang Shulan beat her daughter, and pulled Zhang Shulan's hair desperately.
At this moment when everyone was stupefied by Li Xiaoxuan's madness, Gong Yinyin, who was crying at the door, stood up suddenly. She quickly ran to the door to grab firewood as thick as her arm, and ran to Zhang Shulan's side to die. hit her.
She was beating, crying, beating and cursing, although she was small, her strength was definitely not small, "I let you hit me, I let you hit my mother..."
"Ouch... Get away..." Zhang Shulan was a little weak to deal with Li Xiaoxuan alone, but now with Gong Yinyin added, it immediately became the only place to be beaten.
Hearing Zhang Shulan's roar, everyone came back to their senses, and were hesitating whether to go forward, when they saw Gong Yubo running over from a distance, "What are you doing!"
Seeing this, Gong Yubo was about to go forward to pull Li Xiaoxuan. Gong Yinyin threw the stick and rushed over, grabbing her grandfather and not letting her grandfather drag her mother Li Xiaoxuan.
As far as Gong Yinyin is concerned, her character really follows Zhang Shulan and Gong Guangyuan's. She is stubborn, holds grudges, and can do anything. Originally, she always held grudges when she was often bullied by Zhang Shulan. There was a mad killing intent in his eyes.
002.
"Go away, don't pull my mother..."
Gong Yubo was not at home before, he was going to pick up Master Sun and his party, and when they were making a fuss, he brought Master Sun's people to his yard, and saw such a scene of family strife and fighting as soon as he came.
"This is..." Master Sun, who was over half a century old, had a face as black as charcoal.
"What are you doing, what are you doing..." Gong Yubo was also taken aback by this scene, he slapped his legs and shouted.
He has a simple and honest personality. After marrying Zhang Shulan, he has been suppressed all the time, but he still lives in the end.
But he never imagined that one day his home would become like this.
Gong Yinyin didn't know where the strength came from, she just pushed him to the ground, and then rushed forward to hold him desperately.
Over there, after Li Xiaoxuan knocked Zhang Shulan's head violently, she grabbed Zhang Shulan's neck with both hands and was exerting all her strength.
After she went to find Li Mu before, she actually hated him a little. She hated that Li Mu had the ability to help but was unwilling to help. But after she figured out what Li Mu said, she thanked Li Mu a little.
On this matter, Li Mu has seen more thoroughly than her.
This family will not let her and her daughter go, as long as they are alive, they will never let go, even if this time passes, there will definitely be a next time!
Li Mu can protect them once, but it is impossible to protect them for a lifetime.
"Go to hell, go to hell..." Li Xiaoxuan sat on Zhang Shulan's body with disheveled hair and dirty face, her hands tightly clutching Zhang Shulan's neck, her eyes were full of madness and murderous intent.
Only when the whole family dies can her daughter really get rid of them.
She is not afraid of death, as long as her daughter can live well.
Seeing that Zhang Shulan's face turned red and she rolled her eyes to the point of fainting, Master Sun, who had been watching from the side, said, "Why are you still standing here if you haven't stepped forward to pull people away?"
Hearing Master Sun's voice, the people he brought up with him quickly stepped forward and pulled them away.
Li Xiaoxuan was supported by two men, one on the left and the other on the right, but she was still struggling to lift her feet on Zhang Shulan's body, "Let me go, get out, my daughter won't marry!"
"Mother..." Gong Yinyin was crying until her voice was hoarse. The people around Master Sun grabbed her hand, and she couldn't struggle no matter how hard she struggled.
When Li Mu and others came here, they saw such a scene.
Li Xiaoxuan rushed forward like crazy with two people holding her up. Zhang Shulan lay on the ground looking like she was breathing in less air and exhaling more. Gong Yubo sat blankly on the ground beside her. around.
"Grandpa, grandpa, please, I don't want to marry him..." Gong Yinyin struggled, so she turned back to beg Gong Yubo, "Grandpa..."
In their family, Gong Yubo was the only one who treated their wives better.
"grandfather……"
Hearing Gong Yinyin's heart-piercing cry, Gong Yubo seemed to have recovered from the shock, "Yinyin..."
Seeing the scene where the two are deeply in love, Mr. Sun, who has been standing by the side, became angry, "What are you guys doing?"
A good day is a matter of life and death, these people are just trying to make him unhappy, right?
The money was negotiated at the beginning, and he didn't cheat, cheat, and rob. What are these people doing now?You just want to make him ashamed and ridiculed, right?
The people around were originally lively, but now they are all quiet.
Zhang Shulan regained her strength now, coughed and opened her eyes, but everyone ignored her.Many people even thought, why didn't this person swallow his breath and let it go?
How good she was dead!Even if you die, you won't do such a crime.
"Grandpa..." Gong Yinyin turned her head and bit the back of the hand of the man who grabbed her. The man was caught off guard by the pain, and immediately slapped her.
That blow directly knocked Gong Yinyin down to her knees, bleeding from the corners of her nose and mouth, but even this blow loosened her hands.
Seeing this, Gong Yinyin didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly ran towards her grandfather, "Grandpa, don't sell me, okay..."
Gong Yubo was not the kind of hard-hearted person, seeing Gong Yinyin like this now, his heart immediately softened.
Looking at Zhang Shulan who couldn't get up on the ground for a long time, he didn't know what he was thinking. He took Gong Yinyin into the house and took out a small bag, "We won't get married..."
Gong Yubo stopped selling his granddaughter, but is it that simple?
"If you say you won't sell it, you won't sell it. Then where will I put my face?" Master Sun's face was black as coal, panting with anger, "And the deposit back then was more than that, right?"
When he agreed with Zhang Shulan to buy the doll, he gave a deposit of one or two and a half, and the rest of the bag is estimated to be only half a tael of copper coins, which is not enough.
Gong Yubo's face turned pale when he heard the words. The money went to Zhang Shulan and Gong Guangyuan's medical treatment. Their family had no money in the first place, so where would they raise it now?
"Take him away!" Master Sun glanced at Gong Yubo with a black face, turned around and left.
Although he was fifty years old, his lean body was still strong, and he was quite imposing at the moment.
When he turned around, he glanced at Gong Yinyin who was hiding behind Gong Yubo, and there was already a little bit of displeasure in his eyes.
It's so noisy, I can't stay.
After Mr. Sun gave the order, the rest of the people he brought rushed forward to arrest them. Gong Yinyin wanted to run but couldn't.
The scene was in chaos again, and it was Gong Yubo's kneeling that broke the chaos.
This honest man in his 40s and almost 50 years old knelt down to the people in the village, "My daughter is no longer for sale, please lend me some money, please..."
The Gong family is very popular in the village, but in fact Gong Yubo knows very well that no family in the village likes their family.
He knew that he couldn't borrow money, so he went to the doctor in a hurry and knelt down, "I was wrong, I won't sell it, please lend me some money..."
Gong Yubo's hoarse voice spread in the courtyard. At his age, it should be time for An to enjoy his old age, but he was kneeling in this courtyard with his gray hair on top.
He kowtowed and prostrated in all directions, but no one said anything.
The people in the village looked at him quietly. They had no money, and they invested a lot in buying ducks and feed.And even if they have money in their hands, they may not lend it out in this situation.
The Gong family has collapsed, and anyone with a discerning eye will know it at a glance.Even if they borrowed the money, they would definitely not get it back.
Seeing this turning point, Li Xiaoxuan quickly knelt down and begged the people around her.But when the people around met her tearful eyes, they all turned their heads sideways.
Zhong Xiuyuan only heard a soft sigh coming from his ear, and the next moment, the people standing beside him moved.
Li Mu walked out of the crowd and stopped in front of Master Sun.
He took out a money bag from his pocket and handed it to Mr. Sun, "I have a tael of silver here. I bought this girl from you."
That money was earned from selling ducks and feed, and that was all he had.
Li Mu's Cheng Yaojin who came out suddenly made Master Sun frowned. He opened his mouth and was about to get angry, when Li Mu said indifferently: "You can't hold back when you bring this person back, why don't you just sell it to me?" , Today, you will be treated as a joke by Mr. Sun."
What Li Mu said made sense, and he had been thinking about it.
After all, he is everyone in the town, if this matter is really spread, it is uncertain how many people will be caught and have to talk about it.
"Look, the money is all together." Li Mu picked up the money bag that Master Sun had thrown on the ground before, and handed it over to the Gong family.
One and a half silver, all here.
"I'm selling you to save face." Master Sun looked at the money bag, then at Li Mu who was about to settle the matter, snorted coldly, took the money bag, and went down the mountain.
Seeing this, the people he brought hurriedly followed.
As soon as the members of the Sun family left, the mountain became bustling immediately. The people who had been watching coldly just now gathered together and talked about what happened just now, as if they had forgotten what happened just now.
Li Mu ignored the people around him, he came to Gong Yubo and looked down at the gray-haired man who was still kneeling on the ground, and said in an extremely indifferent tone: "There is no need to pay back the money, Gong Yinyin will follow me from now on."
Gong Yubo raised his head in astonishment, and Li Xiaoxuan at the side immediately got up and pulled Gong Yinyin and pushed her to Li Mu's side, "Go..."
Gong Yinyin wiped her tears, she looked at her mother bewilderedly.
"Go..." Li Xiaoxuan pushed her again.
Only then did Gong Yinyin approach Li Mu, crying and stretching out her hand to grab Li Mu's sleeve.
Seeing this development, everyone was a little surprised and talked a lot.
In the corner of the crowd, Gong Guangyuan, who didn't know when he would come back, chuckled, looking at Zhang Shulan who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, his eyes were full of sarcasm.
And Zhang Shulan, who had been ignored by everyone from the very beginning, and was paralyzed on the ground with burning neck pain, unable to get up, was extremely anxious and terrified at the moment.
She looked at the people around her, she looked at Gong Yubo who didn't see her at all, she looked at the desperate killing intent in Li Xiaoxuan's eyes, she looked at her son who had been precious for half his life looking at her coldly, his eyes were even full of sarcasm .
What pervaded her body at that moment was not pain and anger, but a bone-chilling coldness. She didn't know what happened. She should have been the village chief's wife and the envy of everyone, not the existence she has now. ...
"Ah..." Zhang Shulan tried to speak, but her throat seemed to be broken and she couldn't make a sound.
Not only her throat, but Zhang Shulan felt that every part of her body was in unbearable pain, as if being whipped by countless thorns.
Big beads of cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and she kept sucking in the cold air, but the pain didn't disappear, but intensified, driving her to go crazy.
No one paid any attention to her. After watching the excitement, everyone dispersed early.
Li Mu also took that group of people back home.
Gong Yinyin's arrival turned Li Mu's original four guests into five, making it even more crowded.
After that, Li Mu went to Gong Yubo again two days later, and told him about Shu, Su Dayong and their mother and son. Gong Yubo was very quick to help.
After taking the mother and son to the foot of the mountain to register their names, Li Mu helped clean up a better house in the village and let the three of them live in it.
As for Gong Yinyin, because of her young age, Xu Tian offered to let her live in her house temporarily.
There is also a child in Xu Tian's family. He is about the same age as Gong Yinyin.Xu Tian's original words are that raising one is still raising one, and raising two is just a pair of chopsticks.
Li Mu accepted Xu Tian's help.
Originally, Gong Yinyin was bought back by him under such circumstances. If she still lives with him, those people in the village might say some nasty things behind her back.
003.
He didn't have the slightest idea of Gong Yinyin in this regard. Aside from Gong Yinyin's current appearance as a brat, he wouldn't like her even if she grew up to be pretty.
This is mainly because of her temper.
After discussing this matter with Xu Tian, Li Mu turned around and talked to Gong Yinyin that afternoon, "... put away your temper and follow Xu Tian to learn how to deal with people, and don't play tricks on me."
Although Gong Yinyin is still young, she has already learned a lot from Zhang Shulan and Gong Guangyuan's temperament. From the time when the Gong family made a fuss, she can see that she has a lot of heart.
As soon as Li Mu said this, Gong Yinyin's eyes immediately turned red, but what followed was her maturity beyond her age, "I see, uncle."
"Get up early tomorrow and follow me to do things." Li Mu said.
Although Gong Yinyin lived in Xu Tian's house, he was still responsible for the living expenses, after all, he brought the people back.
In addition, Li Mu also wanted to ask Gong Yinyin to do something for him, and it happened that he was too busy right now.
Gong Yinyin has already learned those bad tempers at such a young age. Although he has no obligation to help correct her, he definitely has no obligation to pamper her.
Gong Yinyin nodded and wiped her tears, "Uncle, can I be your daughter-in-law when I grow up?"
Li Mu glanced at her, but said nothing.
Recently, Zhong Xiuyuan, who has become very clingy to Li Mu, follows wherever he goes, but after hearing this, he took a step forward and stood side by side with Li Mu.
Gong Yinyin looked at Zhong Xiuyuan, smiled at Li Mu as if she remembered something, then turned and ran away.
Zhong Xiuyuan saw all of this, and seeing Gong Yinyin running away, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help looking back at Li Mu with a bit of taste, all of them were catching up.
Ever since Su Yu lived in the village, she had been running to his house every three days, helping with the dishes today and the clothes the next day, and she only had to help spread the quilt.
"I might go out of town in two days." Li Mu said suddenly.
Zhong Xiuyuan was slightly startled at first, then immediately said, "I'm coming too."
Hearing this, Li Mu looked at Zhong Xiuyuan a little strangely. Recently, he didn't know what happened to Zhong Xiuyuan, and he became more and more clingy.
"It's fine for me to go alone, and you will take care of it at home." When Li Mu spoke, he looked towards the distance beyond the mountain.
It has been almost four months since he retired from the military, and his ducks have grown into half-sized ducks in four months, and the ducks will grow up in another month or so.
Originally, his plan was to keep some of the ducks for laying eggs after they were raised, and sell the rest, but because of frequent incidents recently, he hardly had time to go around the area.
Everyone in the village made up that there was a big boss behind him, and everyone was jealous, but only he knew that the sale of his duck had become a problem now.
Their village is remote, and the town at the foot of the village is not considered prosperous. The reason is not because of how remote their place is, but because of the bad location.
In their place, walking a short distance forward is an extremely prosperous metropolis, and walking further back is a junction of several canals, which is also a big town.
And there is an official road between these two places, the official road is some distance away from them, the dock, the city capital, and the town form a triangle.
From the wharf to the city, most people prefer to take the official road and not pass through their town, because that is a detour.
Merchants don't come, and the place is not big, so over time, no one cares about their place.
In this town at the foot of the mountain, Li Mu had already inquired about it when he started raising ducks. If he wanted to sell the ducks to the town, he would basically make little money.
The first town is too small, and the sales volume will not be much. If his group of ducks are sold for retail, it is estimated that they will not be able to sell them all in a month.Second, few people in this place can afford this food.
It’s okay to buy one once in a while to try something new. He has a total of fifty or sixty, not counting other people in the village who will also sell it at that time. With such inflation, it may be even more difficult to sell.
It was definitely not possible in the town, so Li Mu made his idea to the nearby docks and the city.
He has been serving as a soldier in the military camp for the past few years, and he is not familiar with the two places. He didn't find much useful information after asking Uncle Hong, so after thinking about it a few times, he decided to go and see for himself.
His main purpose is to find some big vendors, or some restaurants and restaurants. Such places have a large and stable demand. It would be best if they can cooperate for a long time.
Now Li Mu hasn't decided where to go, because both places are far away from their town, and it would take more than a month to visit both places, so he can only choose one place to try first.
Before, he moved his mind to help Gong Yinyin, but he was actually motivated by selfishness.
Next, he will go to the nearby market to look at the market, and this walk will take at least half a month.As soon as he left, all the family affairs basically had to fall on Zhong Xiuyuan.
The ducks are already so big, and they are free-range. They have to go up the mountain to hunt weeds for feed every day, and there are still things to do in the field. It is difficult for one person to be busy with so many things.
He could also ask Uncle Hong for help, and Uncle Hong would definitely not refuse, but Uncle Hong still had something to do in his own field, so he had to take Yun'er with him.
Li Mu of Xu Tian's family had also considered it before. Xu Tian has a straightforward personality, and she will help her to some extent when asked for help, but just like Uncle Hong, she still has a family to take care of.
After thinking about it, Li Mu originally wanted to go down the mountain to invite someone, but at this time Li Xiaoxuan just came to the door.
At that time, he didn't have such a clear idea. It was after seeing Li Xiaoxuan's crazy appearance in the yard that he suddenly had this idea.
He will continue to do the business of ducks. This time raising dozens of ducks is just a trial run. He will add more ducks after he confirms the market, and he will definitely add more people to help.
He also spent money when he went down the mountain to ask someone to help. Although Gong Yinyin is not as good as an adult, she is a child of a poor family, and she was born in Zhang Shulan's family. She has done farm work since she was a child. no problem.
In this way, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
He is prepared to make the farm bigger, but that will be a few years later. As for whether Gong Yinyin is willing to stay and help after a few years, that will be discussed at that time.
Li Mu briefly explained his plan to Zhong Xiuyuan, "It may take more than ten days for me to come back after leaving, you have to stay and help watch, Uncle Hong will also help."
After Zhong Xiuyuan heard the words, he was silent for a moment to think, and after Li Mu returned home, he said: "I think it's best for you to go to the dock."
"Why?" Li Mu asked.
When the sun was setting, the two sat down in the main room after a busy day.
"According to what you said, the city is very large and prosperous. Presumably all kinds of businesses have their own stable outlets. If you go at this time, unless
