The next morning, as soon as the rooster crowed, Luo Shi kicked her husband up: "Hurry up, hurry up, that brat should go!"

Gao Xuezheng didn't even like to open his eyes: "He will leave as soon as he leaves, what does it have to do with us!" He turned over and fell asleep.

Luo Shi directly reached out and grabbed his ear: "Did you forget what mother told you yesterday? You must go to the city with that brat today to find out how he earned that old money. If you don't get up again, man But we have to go!"

The sun rises late in winter, and it’s still dark outside. Gao Xuezheng doesn’t like to move, but remembering what Mrs. Gao said yesterday, he has no choice but to crawl out of the bed. Because he is afraid of the cold, he doesn’t wash his face. , Mu Yunyi had already gone out with a small burden on his back, so he followed behind.

Mu Yunyi has always been cautious, otherwise he would not have brought a deer-cutting knife with him on the first day in the county seat, and soon he found the high school certificate following him, but he ignored him and went straight to the entrance of the village , and then stood there waiting for Niu Lao's car.

At this time, the surroundings were still pitch black, and the path could barely be seen through the light of the snow.Mu Yunyi is better. He wears a cotton waistcoat over his middle coat, and the robe and trousers are also extra thick. He also puts on a thick wind-resistant cloak, and cotton socks and boots under his feet. He is used to walking like this. It didn't feel very cold either.

The high school certificate is not good enough, he just wears a cotton robe, the cotton inside is not as thick as Mu Yunyi, after being blown by the cold wind for a while, the core is cool, and the cotton shoes under the feet are not frost-resistant, so in the snow After standing for a while, my feet were going to be numb from the cold, and I kept rubbing my hands and stomping my feet.

After waiting for a while, Boss Niu's diesel truck drove over, and Mu Yunyi rushed to meet him first, and jumped into the car: "Uncle Niu."

Boss Niu laughed and said, "How long have you been waiting?" Then he looked at the high school certificate over there.

Gao Xuezheng didn't wait for Mu Yunyi to reply, he also hurried over: "Brother Niu, are you going to the city? I just happen to have some errands to do today, so I took your car and left." After speaking, he went to the car climb up.

There is a pile of firewood piled up behind the cart, and the old cow in front has a section on the left and right sides where people can sit, the boss sits on the left, and Mu Yunyi sits on the right. There is no room for people in other places. Come to the right and ask Mu Yunyi: "Squeeze in and make room for Fourth Uncle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Broken Jade Knife was placed across his neck: "Don't get close to me! If you dare to come forward, you will be killed!"

Gao Xuezheng was taken aback, and jumped back straight away: "You, you...you are going to murder your uncle... Brother Niu, have you seen that this kid is so sacrificial, he wants to kill people, and you still drive him into the city every day , be careful that one day he will expose his ferocity and stab you with a knife!"

Boss Niu laughed and said, "I know this kid Yuan Bao, he won't touch me with a knife." With a flick of the whip, the old cow moved forward vigorously.

"Hey, don't go, don't go!" Gao Xuezheng caught up, "Yuanbao! This car doesn't belong to you, why don't you let me sit in it? Brother Niu, I'm going into town in your car, what do you say?" Will you let me?"

Boss Niu sat in the car and replied: "Fellows from the village, I didn't say anything about taking you into the city, but my car can seat two people, but you have no place to sit, and I can't let you ride on the back of the cow. Rhubarb has a bad temper, if you use the horns to open your crotch, I will be a big villain!"

Gao Xuezheng trotted to catch up: "Brother Niu, you underestimate me too much. As long as you are willing to pull me, I can sit on it!" He jumped onto the side of the car at the back, grabbed the firewood rope and climbed up. The boss of the cow swung his whip, and the cow suddenly turned to the left, and then accelerated vigorously. Gao Xuezheng stepped on a half-bundle of dry branches, and fell directly from the car, and stuck his head in the snowdrift.

Gao Xuezheng fell so badly that he got up from the ground, seeing that the bullock cart was still moving forward unhurriedly, Mu Yunyi apologized loudly to Boss Niu, saying that he wanted to cover the loss, Boss Niu smiled heartily Refused, this harmonious scene made Gao Xuezheng even more angry, thinking that the bull boss was already one with him, and there would be nothing good to catch up with, so he planned to get up and go home, but the whole family was waiting for his letter. If this matter is not handled well today, the whole family will have to blame themselves, let alone Mrs. Gao.

"Bah!" He spat hard on the snow, "little bastard, sooner or later I will let you die in my hands!" When I arrived at Luo Shi's natal family, I went to my brother-in-law's house to sleep for half a day. When the sun came up, I wandered east and west until it was dark before returning home.

"How is it? Can you find out clearly? How did the brat earn money?"

Gao Xuezheng curled his lips: "How else can I earn? Naturally, I got it from being a beggar! You don't know, I followed him into the city today, and after a while, I saw him find a piece of land at the entrance of Yanzhi Street, kneel there, He said he was abducted by a kidnapper, met a cruel man, took his collar, denied him food, and said that we abused him, beat him with a whip every day and made him work, he could pretend and cry, It coaxed the people in that city to beg for money like fools, it was really a lot of money, I watched from the side, he could get at least a bunch of money this day."

"I can get a bunch of money!" Bai Lianhua's voice became high-pitched.

"That's not right! Otherwise, he's only been here for two months, and he's buying new clothes and drinking broth? He can also buy pens and ink, and by the way, he also spent a lot on San Langzhi's legs! A hundred cash, There can only be more, not less!" Gao Xuezheng said solemnly.

In fact, they are jealous of Mu Yunyi's earning money, and it's not just a day or two. In the past, everyone calculated together. Mu Yunyi had to get back at least one hundred coins a day, which was enough for their current expenses. Now it has been confirmed. , became more and more sure, and each of them was so hot: "One hundred coins, a man goes out to do a day's part-time job, and it takes ten days to earn it back! This little short-lived ghost ran to cry twice, and got it?"

Dou Jiao'e said gloomily at the side: "That's what people can get if they have the ability, so whichever one of you has the ability to ask for it."

Bai Lianhua thinks this is really okay: "How about starting tomorrow, I will go too, and I will bring Xiaoxiao with me, and when they see us orphans and widows, they will definitely give us... Ouch!" A paperweight, luckily Gao Yizheng's paperweight was carved from jujube wood, if it were made of stone, she would be able to open a ladle at once, but even so, the skin would bleed.

Gao Yizheng cursed angrily with his fingers: "I'm not dead yet! What are you talking about, orphans and widows? But you're cursing me here! Shameless old women! If you want to beg for food, go yourself! Don't take my son with you! Just write a letter of divorce, and if you divorce, I will let you go to the city to beg for food!"

As he said that, he really wanted to get a pen and paper, and everyone hurriedly persuaded her. Seeing that her husband was really angry, Bai Lianhua hurriedly said, "I just said that, pretending to be like that, so that I can ask for money! Do you have any money?" Why are you angry? I was trying to get money, not because of you. It's not like you don't know what's going on with our family. It turned out that there wasn't much land. More than 50 acres, how can it be enough for a big family to live? You, your second brother, and your uncle are all decent people, and your second uncle is a scholar. There will be more places to spend money in the future. If you don’t want to spend some money, you won’t be able to drink the Northwest Wind in the future!”

When she said this, she carefully looked at the expression of old lady Gao, and saw that she was also worried about the future money, so she said, "According to me, let my sister-in-law go and bring Mo Xiang boy with her. The couple are real orphans and widows... Ouch!"

This time she didn't finish talking, Gao Xuehong, who was picking up the soles of her shoes, directly flew the awl over, flashed in front of her face, and nailed it deeply on the window frame.

Gao Xuehong usually doesn't quarrel with them, but now Mo Xiang is frightened, and she burrows into her arms pitifully. She knows what her child is afraid of, and she can't care about anything else under her heartache: "You don't care about that fancy horse!" Talking loudly to others! Yes, I lost my husband and had to go back to live with my mother’s house, but I didn’t eat your family’s idle food! His father died at the time, so I brought all the things in the house with me. A total of five taels of silver is more than five taels of silver. These years, I have been doing needlework from dawn to dusk. How many months do I not sell it for two or three hundred dollars? Didn’t I make all the clothes, shoes and socks of the whole family? We You two, how did you become idlers? This is because our mother is alive, if our mother is gone, I will die of starvation and poverty outside, and I dare not climb the door of Gao's house!"

The second daughter-in-law of the Gao family, Mrs. Mai, hurriedly persuaded: "Old girl, where are you talking about, your nephew and daughter-in-law don't mean that..."

"Do what you say!" Gao Xuehong was extremely angry and wronged, but she didn't dare to cry, because she was his son's support, and he was his heaven. If she cried, his son's sky would collapse. Go out to beg for food, come back to support you, bah! You don’t count, how many people in our family eat dry food!” The more she talked, the more angry she became, “In your big house, only the sister-in-law cooks, and the others study and embroider. I didn’t understand my embroidery, and I didn’t understand what I embroidered, and no one wants the embroidered things! You can either be like the second brother and come back from the exam, or you can copy the work in the field like the fourth brother, and you are all lazy. They're all just waiting for the pie to fall from their shells at home, and they're ashamed to say that our mothers and I have nothing to do!"

Bai Lianhua said: "Girl, what you said is a bit extreme, so I also want to say it. In recent years, you two have eaten and lived in Gao's family, why don't you know how to be grateful..."

"Close that dung door!" Mrs. Gao went into a rage, almost touching Bai Lianhua's forehead with her fingers, "She is your old aunt! Don't say that she hasn't had a free time yet, even if she really has a free time, then I'm still there." You said it, your father said it, but you didn’t! Whores, big or small! You are always plotting against others! No wonder my grandson looks down on you, and he has learned to curse his own men! You Where did you learn this obscene virtue! Your old aunt is right! There are too many people studying in your big room, you have to cut them off!"
