Mrs. Zhao heard the sound and came out and saw Mu Qingyue standing next to the table with food on the table. She hurriedly asked, "Who brought this food."

Mu Qingyue hurriedly came to her senses, "Second Uncle Leng knew that our stove was not working yet, so he made the meal and asked Brother Leng to deliver it to us."

Zhao was stunned and looked at Mu Laosan. Mu Laosan said, "Brother Leng, please take your time to repay your kindness! Let's eat first after a busy day!"

After dinner, the family sat together. Mu Qingyue took out the money from selling herbal medicines. "Dad, aunt, these are the money I got from collecting and selling herbal medicines when I went up the mountain a while ago. I never dared to take them before. Come out, so I hid everything, you see it’s all here, except what I spent, there are eight taels of silver.”

Mu Laosan looked at Mu Qingqing in surprise, "You dug up the herbs and sold them?"

Mrs. Zhao also had a look of disbelief, "How could you save so much?" You must know that Mu Laosan only earned ninety cents a day working in the county town.

"Of course I earned it by picking herbs! So don't worry, Auntie! We will definitely get better and better in the future." Since Mu Laosan was injured, Mrs. Zhao has been looking sad every day. Now that the family is separated, of course, Mrs. Zhao must know that there is money in the family.

As the saying goes, "If you have money in your hands, you won't panic in your heart."

"When did you know about herbal medicine? Why didn't I know about it?" Mu Laosan asked doubtfully.

"I saved someone when I was on the mountain... Later I became my master. Is the master still living in the mountain?" Mu Qingyue briefly told the story of her encounter with the master.

Only then did Zhao suddenly realize, "So, when you went out early and came back late every day some time ago, was it because you were learning to collect herbs from the master?"

Mu Qingyue nodded, "Well, I collect herbs and process them every day, so I can sell them for money." That period was really tiring.

Mu Qingyue put the money in Zhao's hand and said, "Auntie, you will be in charge of our money from now on."

Mrs. Zhao looked at the eight taels of silver in her hand, then stood up and took out two taels from the quilt, "Does this allow me to buy medicine for your father?" The two taels of silver were divided between the Maeda family and used to buy medicine for the third child. Woolen cloth.

Mu Qingyue looked at Mu Laosan with a guilty conscience. Mu Laosan wiped her nose and felt a little unnatural. She hadn't told Ms. Zhao about this yet.

Mu Qingyue hesitated for a while, then stepped forward to hold Mrs. Zhao, "Auntie, dad is actually not that serious. I know the medicine boy who came back with dad that day. He was the one where I went to sell herbal medicine. I knew it at that time. Regarding my father’s situation, I asked him to say so.”

Zhao looked at Mu Laosan and said, "Do you know that too?"

Mu Laosan nodded.

Zhao looked at Mu Qingyue again, "Will your father be able to stand up in the future?"

Mu Qingyue said hurriedly, "You can stand up, but my father has lost too much blood and is a little weak. He can just take more supplements in the future. My father's legs will take some time to recover and he will be rehabilitated slowly, and he will be able to stand up." ."

As soon as Mu Qingyue finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao squatted down and cried loudly. Mu Qingyue was shocked, and she knelt on the ground and hugged Mrs. Zhao. "Auntie, I was wrong and I shouldn't have hid it from you. Don't scare me! I will never hide it from you again." Mu Qing Yue's heart was full of self-blame. She didn't expect Aniang's reaction to be so big. She blamed herself for not thinking carefully.

Mu Laosan was also shocked by Zhao. After so many years of marriage, she had never seen Zhao Lan cry like this. When you get up, you have to get out of bed.

Mrs. Zhao cried for a while, as if she wanted to cry out all the resentment in her heart, and then slowly stopped. She felt that the family relationship was more comfortable than ever before, and the worries and fears of the past few days also disappeared with this burst of crying.

Turning around, he saw Mu Laosan struggling to get down, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold him down, "What are you going to do? The injury hasn't healed yet, so just torture yourself!"

Mu Laosan couldn't help but giggle when he saw that Zhao still cared about him immediately. Zhao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she saw it.

Mu Qingyue looked at Mrs. Zhao anxiously. Seeing Mrs. Zhao looking over, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hid this from you."

Mrs. Zhao held her in her arms, "I know you are here for this family. I don't blame you, but you can't hide anything from me in the future."

Mu Qingyue quickly promised, "I will be the first to tell grandma if something happens in the future."

Mu Qingchen also said, "I'll tell grandma too." He must not hide anything from grandma in the future. Grandma cried so horribly just now.

Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears and put all the money in Mu Qingyue's hand, "Aniang only does housework at home and doesn't go out often. I know that you are a thoughtful person. From now on, all the money at home will be distributed to you. ?”

Mu Qingyue was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Zhao. Seeing her serious face, she turned to Mu Laosan again: "Dad..."

Mu Laosan looked at Mu Qingyue with a smile, "Listen to your mother, you will be our housekeeper from now on."

Mu Qingyue did not refuse, and took out one tael of silver and handed it to Mrs. Zhao, "Since father and mother trust me so much, then I would rather obey my orders. Mom, you can take this tael of silver and keep it at home. Buy something."

Mrs. Zhao took the money and joked, "Then we will listen to our little housekeeper."

Not to be outdone, Mu Qingchen said, "Sister, whatever I do, you also arrange a job for me." As a member of the family, of course, you have to contribute. But there are no pigs to feed at home, and it’s useless to use pig grass! Thinking like this, Mu Qingchen couldn't help but doubt herself about what she could do.

Mu Qingyue looked at Mu Qingchen and said, "Of course you have to study hard. I will send you to a private school as soon as spring begins. So during this period, I will teach you how to read first, and then you must pass the exam." “It’s already August, and it’s not long until spring begins.

Mu Dashan and Zhao's expressions were stunned. They had never thought of letting Xiao Chen study, but when they heard Qing Qing's words, they couldn't help but get excited.

Mu Qingchen was stunned. Can he also go to school? Every time I passed by my cousin's door and saw him reading a book, I would be lying if I said I wasn't envious. It was just that I couldn't eat enough at the time and I didn't think about studying at all. My sister wanted me to study, but studying was very difficult. What should I do at home when I am spending money? "Sister, I...I..."

Mu Qingyue looked at Mu Qingchen hesitating and said to Mu Qingchen, "Xiaochen, look up at me and tell me do you want to study?"

Mu Qingchen raised her head and looked at the encouragement in Mu Qingyue's eyes, "Sister, I...I want to go to school...but at home..."

Mu Qingyue patted him on the shoulder and said, "As for family matters, I have a sister here. The most important thing for you now is to study hard. Can you do it?"

Mu Qingchen nodded excitedly.

He solemnly said, "Okay, you will study at home starting tomorrow. I will teach you five big characters tomorrow. When I come back from the county, I will buy you an enlightenment book first, and you can practice slowly first."

Mu Qingchen said excitedly, "Okay!"
