Stingy Husband Farming
Chapter 52 They Want to Tell You About Their Daughter
Song Bai hugged his head and broke down: "What are you doing! It was fine, but something happened! When I left, Xiao Mu's mother was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, you still want him to go with me? I left him alone to guard his sick mother, and came back all the way so fast just for Eminem, but you guys gave me this..."
Song Bai squatted on the ground, holding his head in frustration and unable to get up.
Mr. and Mrs. Song: ...
Uh... They didn't expect it to be like this...
Xue Bai stammered: "Is my mother-in-law sick? This...we didn't expect this..."
Song Bai was depressed: "Then why are you lying to me so hard? Can't you just tell the truth?"
"Isn't that what you said in your letter that you were married into someone else's house? Are we afraid that you will be reluctant to come back... You don't know, since you left, the three of you, your father, your brother, and your sister, are too busy with business at home. Ah... We are looking forward to your return soon. Besides, I didn't deliberately lie to you. "
When Song Bai disappeared, Xue Bai, the mother, was really sick, but after Song Bai's family letter was sent back, knowing that he was fine, Xue Bai was relieved and gradually recovered.By the time Song Bai got home, he was already ready.
Song Bai was depressed.
But it's kind of embarrassing to do this.Master Song was also very embarrassed: "This time it's our fault. Now that my mother-in-law is sick, can your husband survive alone? Why don't we go over and see them together?"
Song Bai looked at his father suspiciously.Although he originally had such a plan, he never thought that his father would take the initiative to propose it.
"..." Master Song and his son looked at each other for a while, then looked away guiltily.
It's really not that he is lazy!He always thought that enough money for the family and a guaranteed quality of life were enough. His eldest son insisted on earning so much money and opening so many stores... Then he suddenly disappeared.
The family business immediately faced paralysis.As a retiree, he still has to work...
What's even more sad is that he brought his youngest son and daughter with him, and he couldn't do anything for Song Bai alone... Why would a retiree like him be rehired?He just wants to take his husband and two to travel around the mountains, play in the water, eat and drink!
Song Bai can't be allowed to leave again, and if he wants to leave, he must take the couple with him!Leave the family business to the youngest son and daughter. They are already mature adults and should be independent like their elder brother!

Shen Mu returned home, turned Boss Shen's original clothes out, and asked Liu Shi to work overtime to seal him a pair of thick insoles, and took Liu Shi's rouge powder to cover the pregnancy mole on his hand up.
Apart from the difference in appearance and stature between this brother and the man, the little brother has a bright red pregnancy mole on the back of his right hand.The redder and bigger the mole is, the stronger the fertility.
Shen Mu covered up his pregnancy moles, put on Boss Shen's clothes, put on high insoles, and tied his hair in the way of a man.
Except that the clothes are a bit big, he really looks like a delicate little man.
"What are you doing?" Liu looked at her son tormenting herself with great joy.
"Tomorrow, I will rent a house with Senior Brother Zhong's family. After thinking about it, the two of us still look too weak. Why don't I pretend to be a man, which can make people feel a little scared." Shen Mu carried his clothes He ran over from the hem of his waist, "Mom, please help me lift a few stitches." @无限好文,all in Jinjiang Literature City
While helping him ruffle the clothes, Liu said, "Is this okay? It's not self-defeating to be seen through."
"Why do you want them to see through? When we live in the county, I can never go out without going out every day, and if I can't deal with people, who can see through me?" Shen Mu didn't think so.This can also make you look mysterious!Have you heard of Qianlu Jiqiong?Before the poor skills, tigers dare not get close to the Qian donkey because of its mystery!
"At that time, Ah Huang will still be in charge, let's see who dares to take advantage of our family." Shen Mu picked up Liu Shi's Daishi again, and thickened his eyebrows, and he really looked more like a heroic man.Is it the same for a man with an old lady and a single brother with an old lady?What do you think about the former, you have to weigh it!
Shen Mu was very satisfied with his outfit, and looked in the mirror for a long time: "I'm handsome, mother, do you think I'm handsome, am I even more handsome than Brother Bai!"
Liu Shi: ...
as long as you are happy.
Early the next morning, Shen Mu went to the county seat.But Shenjiatun was a long way to go, and when we arrived, Uncle Zhong's son was already waiting at the door of the work shop.Probably because he stood for a long time, the shopkeeper came out and asked him a few words.
Recently, a lot of tenants from nearby villages have come to the county town, and the shopkeeper is also afraid that the law and order in the county town will decline, so he is a little more defensive.This person stood at the door of his store for a long time for no reason, neither coming in nor leaving, what was he trying to do?
"Brother Xiao Zhong! The shopkeeper!" Shen Mu went over to greet the two of them.
The shopkeeper turned his head, took a closer look, and was startled: "You are... Brother Shen? Why are you dressed like this?"
Shen Mu quickly put his finger to his mouth, and moved his mouth silently: "Aren't I doing it for safety?"
He roughly told the shopkeeper about Song Bai's departure, the house being burglarized, and the move now, and he also wanted to ask for the shopkeeper's protection.
"I didn't expect to see so many things in just two months." The shopkeeper could only sigh that things are impermanent: "Don't worry, we also have some friendship. If you have anything to do, just come to me and I can help you." I will try my best to help!"
Shen Mu was waiting for this sentence.It's not that I really want to trouble him with anything, but I'm not afraid of [-], just in case, if there is any accident, there is someone to turn to for help.
After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, Shen Mu and Steward Zhong's son went to the back door of the yamen to find a house.
@无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
"You just came here, I almost didn't recognize it." The son of Zhong Butler sighed: "It's really much more convenient, and others can feel fear in their hearts."
"Brother Zhong, are we looking for a house directly? No need to find a dentist?" Shen Mu asked.
"You're welcome, you are my young master's younger brother, just call me Xiao Zhong." Butler Zhong's son hurriedly said: "You don't need to find someone. Recently, more people from the village have come to the town and the county, and many of them are renting houses. People. Those people posted notices for rent directly next to the house. The hatchback can also save money. I’m afraid that if there is no suitable vacant room, I will ask the dentist for help.”
Fortunately, the back door of the yamen is safe, and it is true that it is expensive.The asking price for three bungalows is one or two taels of silver a month, which is worth a small courtyard in other locations.So there are not many renters.
Xiao Zhong led Shen Mu around, there were three rented houses.Shen Mu picked the smallest one, and the asking price for two rooms was 1000 and [-] Wen.Anyway, he and Mrs. Liu are just two people, and it would be a waste if the house is too big.
Xiao Zhong talked about it, talking about one thousand Wen a month.
"I used to live in this house by myself. It has all the necessary facilities." The owner is an old lady, pointing to a row of houses proudly: "These six rooms are all my family's rooms. There are four houses in one house, and one house in the other four houses, which are rented by people from the village. There is a well behind the four houses. The family lives together and shares it.”
Shen Mu asked curiously: "Then the house is rented out, so where do you live?"
"Hey, we still have a small courtyard in the north of the city. We rented it out before, and now our family lives there." Anyway, he has two sons, and his family is well established in the county, so he is not afraid of anything.You don't have to live near the county government office to be safe.
Shen Mu was a little envious when he heard the words, how much would it cost for such a house just to collect the rent for a year?When Song Bai came back, he had to discuss with him and buy some houses to make money.
"Who lives in those four houses?" The purpose of living in the county is for safety, so it's better to find out.
"A couple, with two sons and a daughter. Don't worry, don't worry about them, the man in that family is not as tall as you. The two sons are only seven or eight years old, and the girl is older. It's four. You two guys come to live here, they are still afraid of you."
Old Ah thought that Xiao Zhong and Shen Mu were brothers renting a house, so he said.
Shen Mu quickly clarified: "No, my brother accompanied me to see the house. From now on, my mother and I will live together."
"That's it." Old Ah Mo glanced at Shen Mu, feeling a little happy in his heart.Before, I wanted to live with two men, so it was inevitable that I would be sloppy and dirty my house.Well now, there is an old man at home, and this kid looks clean.
Who doesn't want their house to be tidy and tidy?
The three of them finished looking at the house and signed the contract immediately.Ah Mo was kind enough to give Shen Mu two days to move.
Before leaving, the household in the next four rooms stuck out its head: "Ah Li, is this your new tenant?"
Li Ame nodded: "From now on, you will be neighbors, and Xiao Shen will fetch water from the well behind your house in the future."
It was the hostess of that house who showed her head. She glanced at Shen Mu, nodded, and retracted her head again.
Everyone is very cautious.Unfamiliar neighbors don't want to talk about friendship.
When Shen Mu returned home, he and Mrs. Liu packed up their things.All the valuables were worn next to the body, and the grain was found in the pocket, and the mouth was tied tightly.All other things are hidden in the kang cave.
"Let's say hello to Uncle Qingshan. Uncle Qingshan took good care of us, so it's not good to just leave without saying a word," Liu said.
Thinking about it, Shen Mu and Liu Shi went to Shen Qingshan's house before leaving.They left the address of the house they rented in the county.
"Sister-in-law, you can go to the county to find us if you have anything to do." Mrs. Liu dragged Mrs. Fang to speak her own words. "Brother Qingshan is gone, we don't know what the situation is like in our village."
As the daughter-in-law of the village chief, Fang also has some say in the village, especially among women.The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Fang has the right to speak, and naturally some people look forward to her being able to uphold justice. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
At that time, Fang's family may be in a difficult situation for a while.
Fang's heart warmed, and she also held Liu's hand: "You too, be careful in the county. Alas, the world is in chaos."
It's all the fault of God, for not giving the peasants their lives!
Shen Qingshan didn't say much, he also knew in his heart that it must be safe to live in the back door of the yamen.He also drove the ox cart in the village and personally sent them to the county seat.
It saved Shen Mu a lot of trouble, they brought all the valuable things with them, and there were two stones of food, which was quite heavy.If there is no car, it will be exhausting to carry it to the county seat.
Two days later, all the strong men from ten miles and eight villages set off for the dike.The entire Fengshui County, from the county seat to towns and villages, immediately became [-]/[-] empty.
Ah Huang whimpered and groaned unhappy, he hadn't fully learned the skills from the dogs in the village, could he protect Ah Mu and grandma well with this half-hearted effort?
But no matter how difficult life is for a dog, you have to persevere!
……
Residents living at the back door of the county government office found that a strange family had moved in.
This family is a young man with his not too old wife and a dog.Two people and one dog rented two houses.The dog is a half-sized yellow dog with a strange appearance. It doesn't bark every day, but looks around with a pair of big black eyes.
But on weekdays, the man from this family is hardly seen.Except for fetching water from the well and chopping firewood at the door, he hardly ever leaves the house. His old mother is in charge of everything.
However, that man's strength is not small. He carried two large buckets of water at a time, and his steps were so steady that the water would not spill.
I don't know what this guy does for a living, why he lies at home every day and doesn't go out.
Besides, this family has grain! On the day they moved in, a bullock cart came with two shi of grain.
What is most lacking in the county right now?food!This year the field has lost all harvest, and all they eat is last year's stored grain, which is not much in the first place.In addition, the flood caused the price of food in the county to soar. Many people who moved from the village could not resist the temptation and exchanged food for money.
Two people eat two stones of grain, enough to eat until next year and have a surplus!
Although the neighbors around said that they were wary of each other, they couldn't help but observe this family.
Shen Mu can't help it, although it's very eye-catching now, can't he stop bringing food because of this?He and Mrs. Liu also had to eat. It was even more unsafe to leave the food in the village, so it was better to put it under the nose.
Fortunately, this is at the back door of the yamen, so everyone just took a look, and didn't take any action.Shen Mu didn't go out every day, maintaining his manly personality, but Mrs. Liu had to go out to buy groceries, came and went, and made acquaintances with almost all housewives and lords nearby.
Most of the people living in this area are tenants with a little money left.But the surplus money in the village can't help being spent in the county.There is not even a small courtyard in the county town, and there is no way to grow two vegetables, and it costs money to eat wild vegetables.
Shen Mu watched the money slip away every day, feeling very distressed. "The rich people in this county do not live very well, and they have to spend money to do everything. With this speed of spending money, all money will be lost."
Shen Mu took small bites of the vegetables.This is a dish bought with money, so cherish it!
"By the way, mother, when I was carrying water today, I met the couple from the neighbor." Shen Mu said, he went to the back of the neighbor's house to carry water, and when he looked up, the couple was standing at the window, smiling at him.
However, Shen Mu inexplicably felt that the scene at that time was a bit weird, and shivered.But he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling faces, Shen Mu also politely smiled at them, and then quickly slipped away.
"..." Mrs. Liu hesitated to speak, and sighed for a long time: "Oh, it's also an injustice."
"???" Shen Mu was puzzled.
"Today, I met the lady in charge next door. She asked me about your marriage, and she wanted to tell you about their daughter."
"Ah???" Shen Mu was completely dumbfounded.
How should this be said?Is it all because I'm too handsome?Shen Mu was confused.
"Don't be too stinky." Mrs. Liu said mercilessly, "People are probably looking at our family's food. At this time, if we marry our daughter, we won't have to worry about food, and the family can save a mouthful of food. "@无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
Shen Mu was shocked: "Is the county's food shortage to such an extent?"
"That's not true, but the price has tripled. Who in the ordinary village can afford it?"
"Oh, that can't be helped, I can't marry her either." Shen Mule said, "I've been married before!" Shen Mu happily took out a letter from his arms: "Today I will accept Bai Brother's letter!"
"Really?" Mrs. Liu was also happy. When Song Bai came back, they could live much more easily no matter they were in the village or in the town.No need to hide. "Did Xiao Song say when he will come back?"
"He said that his mother's illness has recovered, and he is handing over the business of the shop to his younger brothers and sisters. When we received the letter, he and his father and mother should have already set off and came to our side."
Mrs. Liu also breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there is something to look forward to in this day.
Before they were happy for two days, the county suddenly flooded with a large number of victims.It turned out that continuous days of rain caused landslides, and two villages outside the county were hit by disasters, and half of the village was buried by mudslides.The disaster victims had already poured into the county town, but the news had not yet spread, and no one knew about the situation in the villages farther away, such as Shenjiatun, Xiaoji Village, and Willow Forest.
In this situation, you dare not go back to the village to see?
The mother and son bought a lot of radishes and cabbage, and planned not to go shopping in the street for a few days, and to eat a few meals together.So as not to collide head-on with the victims.
The county magistrate ordered to organize the disaster victims, and the yamen was half empty at once.
Shen Mu was a little uneasy.Fortunately, Ah Huang is also very excited now, and he is very good at housekeeping.In the end, Shen Mu still found two knives and put them under the pillows of himself and Liu Shi.Not to mention self-defense, but for peace of mind.
In his own room, there was also a stick waiting for someone who could take advantage of him.In fact, once I was bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope, and once a thief broke into the house, I always suspected that there would be another thief in the house.
Now there is no kang hole in the house where money can be hidden.Mrs. Liu is still very retro, and sewed the banknote into the cup.
The house Shen Mu rented was close to the county government office, so it was relatively safe at first, but as the number of refugees increased, many desperadoes dared to rob things in their area.They are all engaged in guerrilla warfare, grabbing a piece of money to change a place.
Like the couple living next door, the man in charge just went out to buy some food, when the door was broken into and the few food and money were taken away.The woman cried and howled to stop him, but only received two slaps.If his man hadn't come back in time, even the daughter of the family would have been taken away and ruined.
By the time the man hastily took back his daughter, the villain would have gone nowhere.
Shen Mu and Liu Shi sighed a lot.
Another two days later, in the middle of the night, Shen Mu was awakened by Ah Huang's cry, and after listening carefully to the sound of someone breaking open the door, Ah Huang still kept screaming, and the people outside the door left cursing.Both Shen Mu and Liu Shi were covered in cold sweat.

But on the other side, Song Bai took his father and mother, and finally boarded the carriage back to Shenjiatun.
"Dad, that's when I figured it out. Before, I couldn't decide where to get the cloth. Now I think Fengshui County is pretty good. Not to mention cloth and cotton, there are also a lot of mountain products. I thought that Xing'an County The road to Fengshui County has been slightly repaired, and a business road belonging to our family will be opened, so it will be convenient to travel in the future."
Song Bai sat on the shaft of the carriage and drove the carriage himself.His mind and mouth are not idle, discussing with his father how to continue to develop the family business.
Mr. Song has a headache, and finally escaped, why do you want to talk about business, the weather, food, and your husband?
"Our family has enough business..." Xue Bai weakly interrupted his son: "Look, you and your father are not at home this time, and your younger siblings are too busy with the business at home."
"Mum, you're spoiling them too much. I didn't feel it when I was at home. I thought they were quick at work, but now they can't even support this little business." Song Bai was sullen. "Are they lazy when I'm not at home?"
Master Song and his wife looked at each other, and saw the same complaint in their partner's eyes: Do you think everyone is a workaholic like you?Your siblings are already very good, okay?
...Of course, it can't be compared with Song Bai, Song Bai is a wonderful flower.
"Let's not talk about them. They don't know how to complain at home now." Leaving a lot of things to the two children, the father himself felt a little guilty.
"Hmph, what is there to complain about? When I was the same age as my little sister, I earned the first 1 taels. What about my little sister? Did you spend the first 1 taels?" Song Bai couldn't help complaining: "When I was my brother's age, I already earned the first 3 taels. I'm afraid my brother ate [-] taels?"
Think you have too much business at home?If it wasn't for his desperate efforts to make money, how could he support this family!
Alas, I miss Xiaomu, only Xiaomu is the one who really understands me o(╥﹏╥)o
So, when Master Song brought the topic to Shen Mu, Song Bai opened up the chatterbox in a good manner: "Xiao Mu is well, looks good, can live a life, and doesn't have the bad problems of brothers and sisters. He can also read Writing, his father is a scholar."
Song Bai raised his chin proudly.
Master Song and his wife: "..."
Master Song couldn't help complaining about his son: "Such an excellent child, why did he fall in love with you..."
Xue Bai gave his husband an elbow.How should I say it, my son is also very good, okay?
Hmm...Excellent is excellent, but it's too picky.How could anyone stand his stinginess?Even my dear father can't stand it anymore...
But I heard Song Bai happily say: "What do you mean 'you just fell in love with me', we are a perfect match, okay! I have never met anyone who shares my interests like him!" Song Bai turned his head , smiled brightly at them and said: "You will know when you see him, Dad, he is what you often say, my soul mate!"
Song Bai squatted on the ground, holding his head in frustration and unable to get up.
Mr. and Mrs. Song: ...
Uh... They didn't expect it to be like this...
Xue Bai stammered: "Is my mother-in-law sick? This...we didn't expect this..."
Song Bai was depressed: "Then why are you lying to me so hard? Can't you just tell the truth?"
"Isn't that what you said in your letter that you were married into someone else's house? Are we afraid that you will be reluctant to come back... You don't know, since you left, the three of you, your father, your brother, and your sister, are too busy with business at home. Ah... We are looking forward to your return soon. Besides, I didn't deliberately lie to you. "
When Song Bai disappeared, Xue Bai, the mother, was really sick, but after Song Bai's family letter was sent back, knowing that he was fine, Xue Bai was relieved and gradually recovered.By the time Song Bai got home, he was already ready.
Song Bai was depressed.
But it's kind of embarrassing to do this.Master Song was also very embarrassed: "This time it's our fault. Now that my mother-in-law is sick, can your husband survive alone? Why don't we go over and see them together?"
Song Bai looked at his father suspiciously.Although he originally had such a plan, he never thought that his father would take the initiative to propose it.

What's even more sad is that he brought his youngest son and daughter with him, and he couldn't do anything for Song Bai alone... Why would a retiree like him be rehired?He just wants to take his husband and two to travel around the mountains, play in the water, eat and drink!
Song Bai can't be allowed to leave again, and if he wants to leave, he must take the couple with him!Leave the family business to the youngest son and daughter. They are already mature adults and should be independent like their elder brother!

"Brother Zhong, are we looking for a house directly? No need to find a dentist?" Shen Mu asked.

"Let's say hello to Uncle Qingshan. Uncle Qingshan took good care of us, so it's not good to just leave without saying a word," Liu said.
Thinking about it, Shen Mu and Liu Shi went to Shen Qingshan's house before leaving.They left the address of the house they rented in the county.
"Sister-in-law, you can go to the county to find us if you have anything to do." Mrs. Liu dragged Mrs. Fang to speak her own words. "Brother Qingshan is gone, we don't know what the situation is like in our village."
As the daughter-in-law of the village chief, Fang also has some say in the village, especially among women.The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Fang has the right to speak, and naturally some people look forward to her being able to uphold justice. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
At that time, Fang's family may be in a difficult situation for a while.
Fang's heart warmed, and she also held Liu's hand: "You too, be careful in the county. Alas, the world is in chaos."
It's all the fault of God, for not giving the peasants their lives!
Shen Qingshan didn't say much, he also knew in his heart that it must be safe to live in the back door of the yamen.He also drove the ox cart in the village and personally sent them to the county seat.
It saved Shen Mu a lot of trouble, they brought all the valuable things with them, and there were two stones of food, which was quite heavy.If there is no car, it will be exhausting to carry it to the county seat.
Two days later, all the strong men from ten miles and eight villages set off for the dike.The entire Fengshui County, from the county seat to towns and villages, immediately became [-]/[-] empty.
Ah Huang whimpered and groaned unhappy, he hadn't fully learned the skills from the dogs in the village, could he protect Ah Mu and grandma well with this half-hearted effort?
But no matter how difficult life is for a dog, you have to persevere!
……
Residents living at the back door of the county government office found that a strange family had moved in.
This family is a young man with his not too old wife and a dog.Two people and one dog rented two houses.The dog is a half-sized yellow dog with a strange appearance. It doesn't bark every day, but looks around with a pair of big black eyes.
But on weekdays, the man from this family is hardly seen.Except for fetching water from the well and chopping firewood at the door, he hardly ever leaves the house. His old mother is in charge of everything.
However, that man's strength is not small. He carried two large buckets of water at a time, and his steps were so steady that the water would not spill.
I don't know what this guy does for a living, why he lies at home every day and doesn't go out.
Besides, this family has grain! On the day they moved in, a bullock cart came with two shi of grain.
What is most lacking in the county right now?food!This year the field has lost all harvest, and all they eat is last year's stored grain, which is not much in the first place.In addition, the flood caused the price of food in the county to soar. Many people who moved from the village could not resist the temptation and exchanged food for money.
Two people eat two stones of grain, enough to eat until next year and have a surplus!
Although the neighbors around said that they were wary of each other, they couldn't help but observe this family.
Shen Mu can't help it, although it's very eye-catching now, can't he stop bringing food because of this?He and Mrs. Liu also had to eat. It was even more unsafe to leave the food in the village, so it was better to put it under the nose.
Fortunately, this is at the back door of the yamen, so everyone just took a look, and didn't take any action.Shen Mu didn't go out every day, maintaining his manly personality, but Mrs. Liu had to go out to buy groceries, came and went, and made acquaintances with almost all housewives and lords nearby.
Most of the people living in this area are tenants with a little money left.But the surplus money in the village can't help being spent in the county.There is not even a small courtyard in the county town, and there is no way to grow two vegetables, and it costs money to eat wild vegetables.
Shen Mu watched the money slip away every day, feeling very distressed. "The rich people in this county do not live very well, and they have to spend money to do everything. With this speed of spending money, all money will be lost."
Shen Mu took small bites of the vegetables.This is a dish bought with money, so cherish it!
"By the way, mother, when I was carrying water today, I met the couple from the neighbor." Shen Mu said, he went to the back of the neighbor's house to carry water, and when he looked up, the couple was standing at the window, smiling at him.
However, Shen Mu inexplicably felt that the scene at that time was a bit weird, and shivered.But he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling faces, Shen Mu also politely smiled at them, and then quickly slipped away.
"..." Mrs. Liu hesitated to speak, and sighed for a long time: "Oh, it's also an injustice."
"???" Shen Mu was puzzled.
"Today, I met the lady in charge next door. She asked me about your marriage, and she wanted to tell you about their daughter."
"Ah???" Shen Mu was completely dumbfounded.
How should this be said?Is it all because I'm too handsome?Shen Mu was confused.
"Don't be too stinky." Mrs. Liu said mercilessly, "People are probably looking at our family's food. At this time, if we marry our daughter, we won't have to worry about food, and the family can save a mouthful of food. "@无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
Shen Mu was shocked: "Is the county's food shortage to such an extent?"
"That's not true, but the price has tripled. Who in the ordinary village can afford it?"
"Oh, that can't be helped, I can't marry her either." Shen Mule said, "I've been married before!" Shen Mu happily took out a letter from his arms: "Today I will accept Bai Brother's letter!"
"Really?" Mrs. Liu was also happy. When Song Bai came back, they could live much more easily no matter they were in the village or in the town.No need to hide. "Did Xiao Song say when he will come back?"
"He said that his mother's illness has recovered, and he is handing over the business of the shop to his younger brothers and sisters. When we received the letter, he and his father and mother should have already set off and came to our side."
Mrs. Liu also breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there is something to look forward to in this day.
Before they were happy for two days, the county suddenly flooded with a large number of victims.It turned out that continuous days of rain caused landslides, and two villages outside the county were hit by disasters, and half of the village was buried by mudslides.The disaster victims had already poured into the county town, but the news had not yet spread, and no one knew about the situation in the villages farther away, such as Shenjiatun, Xiaoji Village, and Willow Forest.
In this situation, you dare not go back to the village to see?
The mother and son bought a lot of radishes and cabbage, and planned not to go shopping in the street for a few days, and to eat a few meals together.So as not to collide head-on with the victims.
The county magistrate ordered to organize the disaster victims, and the yamen was half empty at once.
Shen Mu was a little uneasy.Fortunately, Ah Huang is also very excited now, and he is very good at housekeeping.In the end, Shen Mu still found two knives and put them under the pillows of himself and Liu Shi.Not to mention self-defense, but for peace of mind.
In his own room, there was also a stick waiting for someone who could take advantage of him.In fact, once I was bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope, and once a thief broke into the house, I always suspected that there would be another thief in the house.
Now there is no kang hole in the house where money can be hidden.Mrs. Liu is still very retro, and sewed the banknote into the cup.
The house Shen Mu rented was close to the county government office, so it was relatively safe at first, but as the number of refugees increased, many desperadoes dared to rob things in their area.They are all engaged in guerrilla warfare, grabbing a piece of money to change a place.
Like the couple living next door, the man in charge just went out to buy some food, when the door was broken into and the few food and money were taken away.The woman cried and howled to stop him, but only received two slaps.If his man hadn't come back in time, even the daughter of the family would have been taken away and ruined.
By the time the man hastily took back his daughter, the villain would have gone nowhere.
Shen Mu and Liu Shi sighed a lot.
Another two days later, in the middle of the night, Shen Mu was awakened by Ah Huang's cry, and after listening carefully to the sound of someone breaking open the door, Ah Huang still kept screaming, and the people outside the door left cursing.Both Shen Mu and Liu Shi were covered in cold sweat.

But on the other side, Song Bai took his father and mother, and finally boarded the carriage back to Shenjiatun.
"Dad, that's when I figured it out. Before, I couldn't decide where to get the cloth. Now I think Fengshui County is pretty good. Not to mention cloth and cotton, there are also a lot of mountain products. I thought that Xing'an County The road to Fengshui County has been slightly repaired, and a business road belonging to our family will be opened, so it will be convenient to travel in the future."
Song Bai sat on the shaft of the carriage and drove the carriage himself.His mind and mouth are not idle, discussing with his father how to continue to develop the family business.
Mr. Song has a headache, and finally escaped, why do you want to talk about business, the weather, food, and your husband?
"Our family has enough business..." Xue Bai weakly interrupted his son: "Look, you and your father are not at home this time, and your younger siblings are too busy with the business at home."
"Mum, you're spoiling them too much. I didn't feel it when I was at home. I thought they were quick at work, but now they can't even support this little business." Song Bai was sullen. "Are they lazy when I'm not at home?"
Master Song and his wife looked at each other, and saw the same complaint in their partner's eyes: Do you think everyone is a workaholic like you?Your siblings are already very good, okay?
...Of course, it can't be compared with Song Bai, Song Bai is a wonderful flower.
"Let's not talk about them. They don't know how to complain at home now." Leaving a lot of things to the two children, the father himself felt a little guilty.
"Hmph, what is there to complain about? When I was the same age as my little sister, I earned the first 1 taels. What about my little sister? Did you spend the first 1 taels?" Song Bai couldn't help complaining: "When I was my brother's age, I already earned the first 3 taels. I'm afraid my brother ate [-] taels?"
Think you have too much business at home?If it wasn't for his desperate efforts to make money, how could he support this family!
Alas, I miss Xiaomu, only Xiaomu is the one who really understands me o(╥﹏╥)o
So, when Master Song brought the topic to Shen Mu, Song Bai opened up the chatterbox in a good manner: "Xiao Mu is well, looks good, can live a life, and doesn't have the bad problems of brothers and sisters. He can also read Writing, his father is a scholar."
Song Bai raised his chin proudly.
Master Song and his wife: "..."
Master Song couldn't help complaining about his son: "Such an excellent child, why did he fall in love with you..."
Xue Bai gave his husband an elbow.How should I say it, my son is also very good, okay?
Hmm...Excellent is excellent, but it's too picky.How could anyone stand his stinginess?Even my dear father can't stand it anymore...
But I heard Song Bai happily say: "What do you mean 'you just fell in love with me', we are a perfect match, okay! I have never met anyone who shares my interests like him!" Song Bai turned his head , smiled brightly at them and said: "You will know when you see him, Dad, he is what you often say, my soul mate!"
