Mu Siyu had just finished pickling the pickles when she saw Mr. Tong sighing and asked, "What's going on?"
"Your brother-in-law Dongyuan was beaten and crippled. He can't even save his legs. This life is over."
"How do you know?"
Tong's eyes flashed, feeling a little guilty: "I heard what the villagers said."
"Mu Dongyuan works as a book boy for Young Master Wang, who is a well-known dandy in the city. It was destined that he would end up in the situation he is in today."
Mrs. Tong thought about when she first married into the Mu family, although Mu Dongyuan was a little squeamish, his nature was not bad. A few years later, the prosperity of the rich family fascinated his eyes and made him so profit-seeking.
Every time I go home, I raise my head and look arrogant.
"I'm going to deliver food to Brother Xia."
Recently, there were still a lot of goods, and there was no big order, so she left the work in the store to Kite, and just visited it every once in a while.
Of course, she was not idle at home. There were many wooden items in the yard, all of which were finished products she made at home, and she moved them directly to the store for sale when she went to the city.
Mu Siyu went out with a basket.
Halfway through, I suddenly felt someone following me. I turned a corner cautiously and found a place to hide.
A thin man came out and looked around, as if looking for her.
"Where are the people?"
"Are you looking for me?" Mu Siyu secretly took out the medicinal powder from her bag, just waiting for the person to have any trouble before she sprinkled it on. This was prepared by Dr. Zhu.
When Lin Dazhuang saw Mu Siyu, he chuckled and said, "Mother Shaoyu, don't be afraid. I am Lin Dazhuang from the village and I am not a bad person."
"Yes, I recognize you." She saw him nearby more than once, so she couldn't help but pay attention and ask people in the village.
"That's good, that's good." Lin Dazhuang touched his head. "That's it. I want to tell you something."
"Tell me about it." Mu Siyu did not let down her guard and kept holding the packet of medicinal powder.
"I want to marry your mother, can you persuade her to marry me?" Lin Dazhuang's weathered face was full of eagerness.
Mu Siyu: "..."
She thought about various possibilities, but she never thought that this man came to propose marriage to her mother.
"Why are you telling me this? Since you want to marry my mother, you need my mother's approval."
"But she doesn't want to!"
"If she doesn't want to say that she's not interested in you, then you can give up."
If it were her, she wouldn't like him either. It's not that he is ugly, but he is too sloppy.
Being poor and being sloppy have nothing to do with each other.
When Lin Dazhuang saw Mu Siyu was about to leave, he stopped her anxiously: "Your mother is not young anymore, and no one else is willing to marry her. What's wrong with living with me?"
"What's the good thing about living with you? You said Shitiao lived well with you. If you can tell me, I will help you persuade her." Mu Siyu was almost amused by him.
Is this a common man?
In ancient times, there were also men who were ordinary believers. To believe so outrageously was because they were drunk.
"When there is a man at home, there is someone to do all the hard work."
"She doesn't do it now, my followers do it for her."
"If she lives with me, someone will take care of her when she gets old."
"It's fine if she doesn't take care of a man, but she still expects a man to take care of her?"
The more Mu Siyu listened, the more she felt that there was something wrong with this person, and he seemed to be talking without thinking.
Lin Dazhuang was still thinking hard, but Mu Siyu no longer wanted to listen to him.
She said calmly: "My mother's rejection of you means that she clearly thought that you two are not suitable. You can look at other people! There are many widows in the nearby villages."
Lin Dazhuang watched Mu Siyu leave, his eyes full of anger.
How can those widows compare with Tong?
Mr. Tong has such a capable son-in-law and daughter. Do other widows have such capable sons-in-law and daughters?
Xia Kun was working in the fields, and Mu Siyu delivered the food and went back.
Before I got home, a figure suddenly rushed towards me.
Mu Siyu thought it was Lin Dazhuang, so she took the powder and wanted to sprinkle it, but stopped in time when she saw the person coming towards her.
"Girl Yu." Ms. Jiang burst into tears.
Mu Siyu looked at her indifferently.
"Save your uncle! Please."
Mu Siyu: "..."
What's wrong?
"You have found the wrong person. You should go to Mu Sijiao. She has money there."
What are you looking for her for? What do you owe them to the Mu family? Even if you owe her, you owe it to the Tong family. She can slowly repay the gift of childbirth, but she doesn't owe anything to the rest of the Mu family.
"I searched, but she didn't see me." Mrs. Jiang cried: "Your brother-in-law's leg must go to Suzhou City to seek treatment from Dr. Li, otherwise he will not even be able to save his life. Your uncle and aunt are afraid that I will spend money and lose everything in the family."
All my money was taken away, and even my box was pried open by them. All I can do is beg you."
"Then tell me, why should I help you?" Mu Siyu looked at Jiang indifferently.
"You are from the Mu family! That's your brother-in-law. Are you really going to die without saving me?"
"I am a member of the Mu family? Now you admit that I am a member of the Mu family! We have severed our relationship, have you forgotten?" Mu Siyu looked at her indifferently. "Even if I lend it to you, who else is there between you and Mu Dongyuan?"
Are you able to repay this money? None of you, right? Don't say that I won't leave a way for you. It's impossible to lend it to you, but if you sell Mu Dahai's newly purchased land to me, you should have the money to go to Suzhou City to see it.
leg."
"That's the land your uncle bought..." When Jiang saw Mu Siyu being so heartless, she wanted to scold her to vent her anger, but she didn't expect there was a way out.
Such a sarcastic old man, now asking the most annoying person to beg for mercy for his little son who is lying in bed, feels both hateful and pitiful.
But Mu Siyu is not a savior, and it is impossible to save an annoying person.
"Think about it yourself."
Mu Siyu walked past.
Ms. Jiang cursed at Mu Siyu's back: "You are really heartless. Even though you are rich, you are not willing to save Dongyuan. Why doesn't God let this bitch die?"
"Aunt Jiang, I have a way." A person came out from the side.
"Ah!" Ms. Jiang was startled.
"Shhh! It's me, Aunt Jiang." The man chuckled and said, "I have a way to save Dongyuan."
Mu Siyu returned to Mrs. Tong and told Mrs. Tong both things.
After hearing this, Mrs. Tong said with shame and annoyance: "What's wrong with this man? Why did he come to you and talk nonsense?"
"Has he been looking for you a lot lately?" Mu Siyu asked, "I wouldn't worry about you living alone if you stayed at our house."
"It should be fine, right? What can Lin Dazhuang do?" Tong said disapprovingly: "But you are actually willing to help your grandma, I didn't expect it."
"Did I say help her?"
"You said buying their land is a help, right?" Ms. Tong didn't understand.
"I mentioned it deliberately to let Ms. Jiang understand that they still have a way out and have not reached the point of asking for help. Don't look at her crying with snot and tears. She may be scolding me in her heart, let alone let her
If I take advantage of this, even if the land is sold, it will only be sold to others and not to me."
