Dressed as the uncle of farming culture
Chapter 164 The Sick Uncle
After Xiao Le praised all the good words and sentences he knew to Mo Cheng, he was already like a fish out of water, slumped on the chair, and Mo Cheng held the teacup and fed him tea in small sips .
"I'd love to hear it."
After the end, Mo Cheng said with a smile.
Xiao Le coughed a few times, and Mo Cheng took out the pills for him to take, chewing the fragrant pills, Xiao Le became more energetic, and at this time the person who came to apologize had already been sent away by Mo Cai.
They not only came to Mo's house to apologize, but Xiao's house and Zhang's house also went.
That's why Mo Cai and the others deliberately spared a day off from work today, just to make these people come to apologize.
Needless to say, it's really comfortable.
Regardless of whether they sincerely apologize or not, watching those people bow their heads and admit their mistakes makes them feel comfortable. Furthermore, with the lesson learned this time, even if they want to gossip, they can only say it behind their backs, and it will no longer be the same as a few days ago , Huatou started talking nonsense and couldn't stop.
However, there were also many villagers who did not participate, so Mo only wrote down those people.
"Widow Liu, what do you mean?"
After most of the people left, Widow Liu came to Xiao's house crying suddenly, knelt directly at the gate of their house, and kept saying that she was wrong, how difficult her life was after her husband died, and so on.
When Boss Xiao came out to look, he grabbed his clothes and refused to let him go.
Mrs. Xiao's face turned green, she tore the hand away and shouted loudly.
"I know that when we were girls, there were some misunderstandings between us, and you always disliked me," Widow Liu wiped her tears, and said to Sister Xiao, "But we were ignorant at that time, and many things were just misunderstandings. Just let me go..."
Said it was to apologize, but in fact it was almost like a disgusting person.
After Mrs. Zhang learned about it, she rushed over with a pole, and beat up Widow Liu who was still leaning towards Boss Xiao!
"Do you have the nerve to come to the door? I heard that you are the one who spread the gossip!"
Seeing this, Boss Xiao directly handed the wooden stick by the wall to Sister Xiao, who gave him a vicious look and then beat Widow Liu.
At this time, Widow Liu ran so fast that her tears disappeared.
Mrs. Zhang Si gave a cold snort when she saw this, and walked to Aunt Xiao's side with a shoulder pole, "This kind of person, just hit him!"
After Mrs. Xiao thanked her, she looked at Boss Xiao next to her, "If you don't do it, pass me the stick instead."
"I'm not good at beating women," Boss Xiao hurried forward to take the stick in her hand, and rubbed her shoulders again, "But if she dares to hit you, I'll beat her!"
"Humph!"
Mrs. Xiao gave him a blank look and entered the courtyard gate.
Xiao Le learned about this when Mrs. Zhang Si and the others came to work at Mo's house the next day.
"Sister-in-law, next time she does this again, you can call the whole village to her, and let's sit together and watch her fake cry."
Xiao Le said.
Aunt Xiao chuckled, "This method works, and we've seen a show that doesn't cost money."
"But she really ran into trouble when she went back yesterday," Mrs. Zhang said with a click, "As for her adoptive uncle, his wife didn't care whether the rumors were true or not, so she came to the door and beat her up. , Tsk tsk, I heard that a lot of hair has been torn off, I think, I won't go out in a short time."
When eating at noon, both Xiao Le and Mo Cheng saw that Boss Xiao and Mrs. Xiao seemed to be having an awkward relationship, and Boss Xiao kept smiling.
Mrs. Zhang Si rarely rescued the two of them. When she returned home at night, Mrs. Zhang asked Zhang Si, "If you were Xiao Dalang, would you beat Widow Liu?"
Zhang Si was taken aback, "I don't hit women."
"But she misses you and slanders me!"
Mrs. Zhang said angrily.
"Huh? Since when did she miss me?"
Zhang Si trembled in fright, and Zhang Dazhuang beside him also looked terrified. He didn't want a stepmother.
"I told you that you are Xiao Dalang now!"
"...I won't hit you unless she wants to hit you. Before I hit you, I'll beat you up."
This answer was similar to that of Boss Xiao, and Mrs. Zhang Si also sulked with Zhang Si.
"Men are cheap!"
"No, why don't you hit a woman, after all..."
The next day, when the two good sisters got together to work, they kept scolding their husband.
Xiao Le hid far away, and Mo Cheng didn't go wandering in the yard. He practiced calligraphy and discussed the plot of the story with Xiao Le in the wing room, and then wrote it out and read it to Xiao Le.
A few days later, it began to rain.
Naturally, I couldn't go to work this day, and I just wanted to talk to the Wang family, so Mrs. Xiao went to the Wang family with Zhang Si's family.
She acts as a matchmaker.
Because Uncle Wang can't hear, he doesn't know that his granddaughter Cuihong and Zhang Dazhuang are in love at all.
But in the past few days, Zhang Dazhuang came to help with work and acted so attentively, so he felt a little bit, but because he thought of his son and daughter-in-law, Uncle Wang just gave up that feeling.
It wasn't until Zhang Si and the others came to talk about the two children that Uncle Wang knew it was true.
At noon that day, Zhang Si's family and Mrs. Xiao had lunch at Wang's house. In the afternoon, Zhang Si and his wife carried the box hung with red cloth around the village, and then, out of the curiosity of the villagers, sent it to Wang's house. .
This is a custom in the village. If the betrothed person is from the village, they will carry a red box with a red gift and hang it around the village to the future family. This will tell the villagers that their two families are married.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect that kid Da Zhuang to be engaged to Cui Hong..."
"That's right, the couple of the Wang family didn't know what they committed, and Cui Hong was dumb..."
"It's fine if you're dumb, at least you won't point at the old men and scold them when they commit crimes."
Xiao Le went back to live that night. He wanted to go home and have a look, but Mo Cheng had no choice but to send him back.
When he left, he was asked to follow Mrs. Xiao and the others to Mo's house early the next morning.
"Uncle Wang said that his son and daughter-in-law were innocent disasters, just because they saw the dirty things between the nobles, they said at the time that they would not speak out, but they were still tricked by the nobles and arrested, and it didn't take long... "
Mrs. Xiao felt cold all over.
The lives of the poor are really worthless.
Xiao Shuang clenched his chopsticks tightly, "I will become an official in the future, and I will never let this happen again!"
Mrs. Xiao and his wife were immersed in the truth. Only Xiao Le heard Xiao Shuang's words. He scooped up some custard for Xiao Shuang, "Then you should study hard and become a high-ranking official. I can rely on you to run amok."
"That won't work," Xiao Shuang frowned, "Although you are my second uncle, you must know that the laws of the world are respected. If you commit a crime, I can't protect you."
"Then do you want to kill relatives righteously?"
I can just say something casually, but I don't want Xiao Shuang's eyes to turn red when he thinks about it, "If you commit an unforgivable crime, then, then I have no choice but to exterminate my relatives righteously."
Boss Xiao and his wife were a little confused when they heard the words, not knowing what they were talking about.
Xiao Le smiled and rubbed Xiao Shuang's head, "I'm very pleased, you think so, I hope that when you grow up and enter the officialdom, you will always remember what you said today."
Xiao Shuang wiped away tears, "Second Uncle, don't you think I'm heartless?"
"Where is the unfeeling talk?" Xiao Le poked his face, "I will take you to find Uncle Mo after dinner."
Under the puzzled eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Le took Xiao Shuang to Mo's house.
After the Mo family brothers heard Xiao Shuang's repeated words, Mo Cai was the first to pinch his face, "Your second uncle is right, you must always remember these words in the future."
Mo Cheng stared at him, and said to Xiao Le, "How about I accept him?"
Xiao Le thought for a while, "It's okay, anyway, it doesn't hinder our seniority."
"It's not bad to be strong," Mo Cheng looked at Xiao Shuang who was full of doubts, and said with a smile, "Let's serve tea."
Xiao Shuang was even more puzzled.
Tea?What kind of tea do you offer?
But Mo Cai understood. He brought a cup of tea and put it in Xiao's hands. Seeing that he was still standing there in a daze, he immediately patted him on the shoulder, "Kneel down and offer tea."
kneel down?
Xiao Shuang frowned and didn't move.
The master said that you can kneel down to your parents and master, but you can't kneel down to outsiders at will.
"Shuang'er, I want you to recognize him as foster father."
Xiao Le smiled.
"Father?"
Xiao Shuang exclaimed.
But in the next moment, Mo Cheng responded, and Mo Cai directly brought the tea in Mo Cheng's hand.
Mo Cheng bowed his head and took a sip of tea, and said to Mo Cai, "Bring that kid Da Zhuang over tomorrow."
"clear."
Mo nodded.
On the way home, Xiao Shuang glanced at Mo Cai behind him, pulled Xiao Le by the hem of his clothes and said in a low voice, "Have you become a foster father so hastily?"
"No loss, no loss," Xiao Le smiled and rubbed his little head.
Xiao Shuang: ... This is not a matter of losing money or losing money.
When Boss Xiao and Sister-in-law Xiao learned that Xiao Shuang recognized Mo Cheng as his adoptive father, they were so dumbfounded that Xiao Le giggled.
When Zhang Si and his wife watched their son serving tea the next day, their expressions were even more exaggerated than that of Mr. and Mrs. Xiao.
This made Boss Xiao and his wife a lot more balanced. That night, the three families began to call each other brothers, and Zhang Dazhuang and Xiao Shuang also became god brothers inexplicably.
For Zhang Dazhuang, life has not changed because of having a adoptive father, but for Xiao Shuang, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by his master, he also has to complete the tasks assigned by Mo Cheng, and he rarely even touches fish. up.
The days became bitter.
As the adoptive father of the two children, Mo Cheng also gave the two children meeting gifts respectively. He followed Mo Cai's advice and gave each of them ten taels of silver.
The two families were unwilling to accept it, so Mo Cheng took out two more jade pendants that looked very expensive at first glance, and finally, the two families chose the ten taels of silver.
To the Zhang family, ten taels of silver is undoubtedly money for building a house, and Zhang Dazhuang thought so too.
As for the Xiao family, Xiao Shuang said that he would give the money to Xiao Le for medical treatment, and Xiao Le said that he was fine and asked Xiao Shuang to keep it.
"Save it for your reading."
It would cost a lot of money for this family to support a scholar.
In a blink of an eye, it is midsummer.
The work of the Mo family had already been done, and when it came time to pay the bill, the two families insisted that they didn't ask for a penny.
And the fruits and vegetables that the Mo family ate were all sent over by the two families.
The relationship among the three families is getting closer, but the closest ones are Xiao Le and Mo Cheng.
At this time, Xiao Le was lying on the beauty's couch, and Mo Cheng was sitting beside him, holding a big cattail fan made by Boss Xiao, and gently fanning Xiao Le.
Xiao Le squinted his eyes, and said softly, "Brother Mo Cheng, I want to drink water."
Without saying a word, Mo Cheng put down the big cattail fan, held tea in one hand, helped Xiao Le up with the other, and fed him water.
After drinking the water, Xiao Le collapsed on the bed again, as if he would die if he left the bed.
Boss Xiao came to find someone, "I haven't been home for half a month, let's go home and live."
He also misses his second child very much. Without Xiao Le at home, he and Mrs. Xiao always feel that something is missing.
Ever since the three families got married, Mo Cheng always dominated Xiao Le, and the days when he went home to live there were pitifully few.
The relationship is even better than his own, Boss Xiao is sour.
No, I'm here to ask for someone again.
Xiao Le slowly followed Boss Xiao back.
Mo Cheng looked at Mo Cai, and Mo Cai looked at the sky.
"How to do."
Mo Cheng said.
Mo Cai with his hands behind his back, looked left and right but didn't speak.
"Mo Cai."
Mo Cheng shouted.
Mo Cai sighed, "Brother, he is a real brother, and Xiao Le only came home for one day in ten days and a half months, so just bear with it."
Mo Cheng didn't want to bear it, so he picked Xiao Shuang up that night for the reason of practicing big characters, and then called Zhang Dazhuang over. After half an hour, Mo went to pick up Xiao Le again.
"It's not that the children are all here, it's very lively. Xiao Le loves the excitement the most, so he wants to take it and play together."
Mo Cai said dryly.
Boss Xiao took a deep breath, "You also had the same reason last time."
"I'm not going tonight," Xiao Le waved his hands lazily, "I'll go in two days."
The real master couldn't talk anymore, so Mo Cai could only go back and tell someone in desperation.
"My sister-in-law made a lot of delicious food, and also made clothes and shoes for Xiao Le. You can let Xiao Le go back and live for a few days."
He persuaded.
Mo Cheng got up, "How about I go live at Xiao Le's house?"
"...Inappropriate, my sister-in-law is here."
Mo Cheng sighed, and said again, "Then just wait for a few days."
So Xiao Le stayed at home for several days, and Dr. Wu came here once during the period.
After all, a few months ago, he told people that this man was going to die, but a few months later, Xiao Le was still alive and kicking. Dr. Mo happened to be looking for herbs in their mountain, so he came to see Xiao Le.
After taking the pulse, Dr. Wu said, "The pulse has become much stronger."
Boss Xiao and his wife looked happy.
But the next moment, Xiao Le spit out another mouthful of blood.
He wiped the corner of his mouth calmly, "I also feel in good health."
Boss Xiao and his wife: ...
Dr. Wu hurriedly took the pulse, and Xiao Le fell asleep after a while. Dr. Wu withdrew his hand and came to the main room with the couple. He asked the couple, "Has he often vomited blood these months?"
Boss Xiao became nervous, "I would vomit once every few days, but every time I vomited, I said that I felt much better, I could eat and drink, and my cough was less."
"Yeah, it doesn't look like a problem," Mrs. Xiao frowned, it was the one who vomited blood...
"I understand," Dr. Wu said with a determined face, "it's a good thing he vomited blood. When he first vomited blood, his pulse was very weak, but now it's getting stronger. I think it's exactly as he said. After vomiting blood, My health has improved a lot.”
This is all bullshit.
After learning that Xiao Le vomited blood, the Mo family brothers rushed to the door, and Mo took Xiao Le's pulse, and gave him some medicine, "I have to decoct the decoction again, and the pills can only make him cough less."
"Will the second child know?"
Boss Xiao asked anxiously.
"No." Although Mo Cai didn't know why Xiao Le could handle it so well, he knew that the other party was not easy to die. "This is an old problem. Don't worry, it's no problem to live a seventy-year-old."
After several months of recuperation, Mo Cheng's complexion became better and better, and he took Xiao Le home directly.
Knowing that at Mo's house, Xiao Le can get Mo Cai's care, so the boss Xiao and his wife can only let them take Xiao Le away.
Zhang Si's family also came to see Xiao Le, and when they went back, they said to Mrs. Xiao and his wife, "I think Mo has some skills. Think about Mo Cheng who just came to the village. His complexion is very bad, but now? He is stronger." Many don’t say anything, and outsiders can’t see what’s wrong with him at all.”
This is also the reason why everyone felt relieved to hand over Xiao Le to the Mo family.
But reassurance is reassurance, the two families were still worrying, and went to Mo's house three times a day, until half a month later, Xiao Le started to be alive and kicking again, and then he was relieved.
He still spat out blood occasionally, but Xiao Le's complexion began to improve.
At least with some ruddy, not so pale.
They were all fed by Mo Cai's medicinal diet.
The Xiao family always remembered this love.
"I'm really fine," Xiao Le, who was followed by Mo Cheng to go to the toilet together, turned around helplessly, "Just trust me."
Life is so long, Xiao Le felt that even if he gave himself a sword, he would not die.
"But you vomited blood again today," Mo Cheng said worriedly.
"Isn't this a common thing? You have to get used to it," Xiao Le pushed him away, "If you stare at me, I'll vomit blood."
These words successfully stopped Mo Cheng.
And Mo Cai, who came back from the county seat, took out a few bank notes with a smile.
Xiao Le stared round, "So many!"
"It's all on sale in Fucheng, but many people have seen it," Mo Cai said with a smile.
In just a few months, there were more than 300 taels of silver, which Xiao Le and Mo Cheng shared equally, 150 taels each, and the remaining scraps of silver were used for Mo Cai's household, since they all lived together anyway.
Xiao Le smiled and took the bank note home and handed it to Boss Xiao and his wife.
The two of them knew what storybook Xiao Le and Mo Cheng were working on, but they didn't know that the storybook was so valuable!
Looking at the banknotes on the table, the couple felt dizzy.
"I keep 50 taels, and you can discuss how to use the remaining 100 taels."
Xiao Le took one of the bank notes, and he pushed the remaining two in front of Mrs. Xiao and his wife.
"This, how can this work!"
Mrs. Xiao's first reaction was to refuse.
"Why not? Or do you mean you don't want to support me?"
Xiao Le's eyes turned red.
"That's not what it means, second child, listen to me, this is money you earned yourself, save it and use it later."
Boss Xiao stammered.
He had never seen so much silver in his life.
"But I kept 50 taels for myself," Xiao Le raised the bank note in Yang's hand, "I will save it. If you give me the 100 taels, I will live in Mo's house and never come back."
With a dark face, Boss Xiao directly handed the banknote to Mrs. Xiao, and then dragged Xiao Le to talk about it for half an hour, probably the Xiao family was the place where he grew up, and the Mo family lived there from time to time, how could he think about it? live there...
At night, Mrs. Xiao cried and laughed while holding the two bank notes, "Uncle... Whose uncle can give my brother and sister-in-law 100 taels at will?"
Over the years, outsiders have said a lot about her and Boss Xiao, both good and bad.
Boss Xiao hugged her, "Don't cry, there's nothing to cry about, we should be happy, the second child will not have to worry about food and drink in the future, and he can marry a wife."
"Yup!"
With so much money, why can't I marry a woman?
So the next day, the confused Xiao Le was asked with smiles by the couple what kind of girl he likes.
Xiao Le felt something was wrong, so he ran to Mo's house.
As a result, Boss Xiao and his wife went straight to Mo's house and asked Brother Mo Cheng to help him find out what kind of girl Xiao Le likes.
Mo Cai glanced at Mo Cheng's dark face, coughed and said, "Then what, you can't force this matter, think about it carefully, is the lady who is married with money willing to do it herself? Maybe the family members are doing it for the bride price. How can you force Yinzi, after getting married with Xiao Le, if you can live with it on the surface, can you treat him sincerely in private?"
Most of the enthusiasm of Mr. and Mrs. Xiao disappeared immediately.
"Besides, if there is a girl who is willing to marry here, it's probably because she has money at home, so she doesn't care about Xiao Le's health. Will Xiao Le like it?"
Mo Cai asked again.
Boss Xiao and his wife stopped talking.
When Xiao Le was called from the wing room to the main room by Mo Cai again, the attitudes of Mr. and Mrs. Xiao changed greatly.
"Second, do you have a girl you like?"
"No."
"Then have you ever thought about what kind of lady you will marry in the future?"
"No, I don't want to get married, I just want to live with you," Xiao Le looked at them and said, "Don't always think about giving me a home, I have you now, I have a good home, don't Force me to get married, okay?"
"No," Mo Cheng was the first to nod.
Boss Xiao glanced at him, then asked Xiao Le, "If you don't get married, the child will..."
"Isn't Shuang'er my child? Besides," Xiao Le scratched his head, "Can someone have a child with my body?"
Boss Xiao: ...
Mrs. Xiao: ...
Come on, no amount of words will be wiped out by this sentence.
Marrying a girl back home really hurt her.
So the Xiao family never mentioned the major events in Xiao Le's life.
For the 100 taels of silver, after discussion between the husband and wife and Xiao Le's nod, they took out 50 taels to build a house. Mo Cai actively participated in building the layout of the new house, and also used Feng Shui knowledge, which was greatly appreciated by the husband and wife. .
What's going on with the Xiao family, who in the village doesn't know?
They have to raise a sick child and provide for a scholar, but just like that, their family actually built a house?
"What kind of fortune is this?
"I think it has something to do with the Mo family. The Zhang family also repaired a few houses before. Although it is a wooden house, it is better than the previous thatched house."
"Tsk tsk, these two families are also very capable, and they are lucky to be hugged by the Mo family."
No matter what they say, the people hired by the Xiao family to build a house are all members of the Xiao family except Zhang Si.
Outsiders have no choice but to get wages.
The house at home was pushed down, Xiao Le and Xiao Shuang lived in Mo's house, and Xiao Boss and his wife lived in Zhang's house.
When the house is built, it is just the time for the autumn harvest.
Standing at the gate of the new family courtyard, Xiao Le praised, "50 Liang is so beautifully repaired, it's worth it."
The bed, wardrobe and dining table at home are newly built, and the rest that can be used are old ones. The furniture cost a few taels of silver. In general, the house cost more than 50 taels.
Salary is also included in it.
"I think your house is too expensive," Xiao Le said to Mo Cheng, thinking of the yard bought by the Mo family.
"Yes, it cost more than 30 taels."
Mo Cheng nodded.
"But after being arranged, it's still good," Xiao Le comforted.
"As long as you like it," Mo Cheng smiled at him.
Xiao Le pulled him into his room to have a look, "It's so beautiful."
Mo Cheng glanced at the big bed and nodded.
Two sleepers are not crowded at all.
The Xiao family built a new house, and only invited a few close family members to have a meal, and then they were busy with the autumn harvest. After their own harvest, they helped the Mo family harvest.
After the food was dried and the food tax was paid, Mrs. Zhang went to the village head's house with her things.
Yingying from the village head's house hid behind the door, and when Mrs. Zhang talked about Mo Cai, Mo Cai's image flashed in her mind, and her face blushed a little.
The village head and others were naturally willing to marry the Mo family, and Miss Zhang also went back and told the Mo family brothers the news.
It was rare for Mo Cai to be blushing and not good at speaking, Mo Cheng smiled and said, "I will trouble my sister-in-law for everything."
Miss Zhang looked at the shy Mo Cai with a smile, she looked like a younger brother at the moment, but in the past she was even more like an older brother than an older brother.
"Don't treat other girls badly," Mo Cheng said to Mo Cai after Mrs. Zhang Si left, "The dowry silver should not be less than 20 taels, and you have to find someone to repair your room, the wardrobe is a bit small...
Mo Cai's eyes turned red as he listened, "Brother, thank you."
Although his mother is Mo Cheng's nanny, but that is his mother's love for Mo Cheng. When he followed Mo Cheng, he caused him a lot of trouble. After the nanny passed away, the master wanted to sell him, but Mo Cheng Not letting go, plus what happened later, Mo Cheng simply left there.
Only Mo Cai was taken away.
Now that he was still worrying about his own marriage, Mo Cai shed a few crocodile tears, and happily went to the carpenter to discuss what kind of furniture to make.
Mo Cheng sighed to Xiao Le, "I used to be a kid, but now I'm getting married."
Hearing this, Xiao Le poked Mo Cheng's shoulder and made fun of him, "You are reluctant to part with Mo Cai."
"He's not married, so why would I be reluctant to part with it?" Mo Cheng hugged Xiao Le directly, rubbing his chin on Xiao Le's shoulder, "I just thought that the nanny must be very happy to know that he is going to get married."
Xiao Le reached out and hugged his waist.
Their relationship was only a layer away, but neither of them crossed the line. The most intimate time was sleeping with their clothes on and occasionally hugging.
Just when several families were immersed in the joy that Mo Cai's good deed was approaching, the aunt of the village head's family who married into the town came back, and she didn't know what she had said to them. The day after the aunt left, the village head's wife I found Mrs. Zhang Si.
A condition was tactfully put forward.
"Separate?"
Mo Cai was so angry that he dropped the teacup in his hand, "Impossible! Brother and I will never separate!"
He has always been smiling, but now he is so angry that he throws things in front of everyone.
"Mo Cai!"
Mo Cheng frowned.
Mo Cai looked at him with red eyes, trembling all over, "I will never separate!"
Without the son, there would be no life for him!
"When you grow up, you should live on your own."
Mo Cheng sighed.
Seeing that Mo Cai was very angry, Xiao Le quickly gave Zhang Si and Ambassador Xiao a wink, and the two quickly pulled Mo Cai to sit down.
After a few people calmed down softly, Mo Cai closed his eyes, opened his eyes after a long time and said to Mrs. Zhang, "Sisao, you help me go back to her, the family can be separated, I don't want anything, this property belongs to my elder brother! My property is only myself, if she agrees, I will marry her."
Miss Zhang naturally knew that the brothers of the Mo family had a good relationship, and she also knew that Mo Cai and Mo Cheng were not brothers of the same mother, but they had a better relationship than real brothers.
She didn't expect that the other party would suddenly make this request.
"This……"
"I can guess what they are thinking with my toes," Mo Cai wiped his eyes fiercely, "It's just that I think Eldest Brother is not in good health, and I'm afraid that he will have to take care of Eldest Brother after we get married! No, will they still agree to this marriage?"
The people present fell silent.
"Sister-in-law Si, this matter was brought up by the village head's wife, what does Yingying think?"
Xiao Le broke the silence.
"That's right, I don't know what Yingying thinks," Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Xiao, "I have to ask."
Mrs. Xiao nodded.
So the two went to the village chief's house together.
Coincidentally, the village chief's wife and Yingying's mother and daughter are all at home.
After saying some polite words, Mrs. Xiao asked, "Have you discussed the terms you proposed with each other?"
"That's right," Yingyingniang covered her mouth and smiled, "Of course it was discussed."
Mrs. Xiao and Miss Zhang looked at Yingying.
Yingying blushed and hid from her mother. Seeing that they were still looking at her, she knew they were asking herself. She bit her lip and said softly, "Auntie said, you have to have a long-term plan."
"There is no old man in the Mo family, so the family should be separated," the village chief's wife said with a smile. It won't change."
Mrs. Zhang Si sighed softly, "They have a good relationship..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yingying Niang, "They are all people with sons and daughters, so I won't talk about scenes, just take your girl as an example. In the case of the family, do you want to let them divide the family before the girl gets married?"
"When parents are away, many brothers will separate. After this separation, things will be less and life will be easier."
Seeing that the two of them did not speak.
The village head's wife took her daughter-in-law's words and said, "Even if we don't mention this, if Mo Sanlang gets married in the future, doesn't his wife want to separate the family?"
Mrs. Zhang Si took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Your considerations are correct, and Yingying is indeed a good girl. It's a pity that Mo doesn't have this blessing."
"It's getting late, so let's go back," Mrs. Xiao got up and said with a smile, "The sky is still so good, and the days are still long. Yingying's life will be very good in the future."
This last sentence is commonly used by everyone, and it means to end marriage.
The faces of the village head and wife suddenly changed, Yingying's eyes were red, and she hurriedly grabbed her mother's clothes.
Yingyingniang yelled, and asked the two to sit down, "Why don't you say this, the two children are good, and their lives are not bad."
"I've said it clearly, Mo doesn't want to separate."
Mrs. Zhang looked at them with the corners of her lips pulled.
"So you want to live together all your life?"
The village head's wife clutched her handkerchief, "There are none in this village... Of course, except for Xiao Erlang."
She glanced at Mrs. Xiao with some displeasure, and felt that the Xiao family and the Mo family had a good relationship, so she didn't want them to marry the Mo family. Isn't this just dividing them?
"There is no need for my aunt to talk nonsense about our family's affairs," Aunt Xiao showed a cold smile, "The Mo family does not agree with your conditions. I don’t know, so forget it.”
"Wait! How do you say it doesn't count!"
The Mo family is the best family in the village at the moment. Before Mo Cai said that he was engaged, everyone didn't think about it. Now that Zhang Sisao came to propose marriage, they realized that Mo Cai was not engaged at all. They naturally wanted to marry the Mo family.
"Mo's family business was all saved by Mo Sanlang, so if you want Mo to separate the family, then what Mo gets is himself. If you are willing, you can continue to discuss this marriage. If you feel that you are at a disadvantage, you can only get Mo. That’s right, we won’t talk about it anymore.”
Mrs. Zhang said.
This means that the Mo family's family business has nothing to do with Mo Cai.
Yingying turned pale, and her mother said anxiously, "How can there be none? There have been two shares in this family since ancient times!"
"Yes, there are two copies, but who told you that they are brothers?"
Mrs. Zhang uttered what Mo Cai had taught her.
Now the village head and wife were really shocked.
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xiao also left the village head's house.
"Why did you say that?"
Aunt Xiao said worriedly.
"Oh, this is what Mo Cai secretly told me just now. If they are still entangled, tell them about it."
Mrs. Zhang Si sighed.
Now it's all right, according to the temperament of the village head's wife, the whole village may know that Mo Cai and Mo Cheng are not brothers.
Sure enough, within a few days, word spread in the village.
Mo Cheng lost his temper with Mo Cai.
"In order to break their minds, you don't think of yourself as my brother, Mo Cheng?!"
Mo Cai knelt in front of the nanny's tablet, with a sullen face, and replied stiffly, "I don't just cut their minds, all the people who want me to be separated because of the good life in our house, I wouldn't even give them that chance."
"Separation is good for you," Mo Cheng closed his eyes with a headache, "You can completely set up your own family."
"Back then, when I was not serving the young master, I offended the eldest young master, was held in the courtyard, and received fifty boards. If the young master hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have the life to live in this world. Portal, unless I die!"
Mo Cheng laughed angrily, "Okay, don't call me Big Brother, but Young Master?"
Mo Cai stiffened his neck and didn't speak.
The two brothers fought coldly.
Mo Cheng went directly to Xiao's house to live.
Mo Cai never came to see it.
The Zhang family and the Xiao family were so anxious that they began to persuade them from both sides.
But one is more stubborn than the other.
"Where did I go wrong? He is such a big man, he should always think about himself, isn't that what he should be?"
Mo Cheng was extremely irritable, and felt a little more aggrieved in front of Xiao Le.
"This is a separated family. Isn't it enough to build the house next to it? It's not far away, and it's still a family! Besides, I don't know him yet? I really like her girl, but how did this sincerity come to the branched family?" , will it disappear immediately?"
Mo Cheng was even angrier.
Xiao Le slowly pulled him to sit down, raised his hand to press his head, without saying a word.
And here, Mo Cai, who was crying like a child in front of Zhang Si and Boss Xiao, also yelled loudly.
"Why doesn't he understand! Is it that simple to separate the family? After the separation, can I still want to come to him? Can I take care of him if I want to?"
"He saved my life. If I leave him, am I still human? When my mother passed away, she urged me to take good care of him. How could I leave him just because of myself? ?”
Mo Cai felt that he was lost by Mo Cheng.
People from far away could hear loud cries coming from the Mo family.
Zhang Si and Boss Xiao became hoarse from persuasion.
Still nothing.
What was even more worrying was that within a few days, Mo Cai fell ill.
When Xiao Le went to look for him, he knocked on the door for a long time and no one opened it. He immediately asked Da Zhuang who followed him to turn into the yard, only to find Mo Cai who was burning badly.
When Mo Cai woke up, Mo Cheng and Xiao Le were sitting beside his bed.
Mo Caihong looked at the two of them, but did not speak.
Xiao Le's hand poked Mo Cheng from behind.
Mo Cheng held back for a while, and finally let out a long sigh, "It's not worth it."
"It's worth it," Mo Cai finished, turned over and turned his back to them, obviously not wanting to talk to Mo Cheng anymore.
"you……"
Mo Cheng frowned, and when he wanted to speak, the two saw Mo Cai trembling all over, Xiao Le turned him over to see, Mo Cai's face was full of tears, very pitiful.
"Don't cry," Xiao Le pushed Mo Cheng away, and directly wiped Mo Cai's tears with the quilt, "On weekdays, you are the most mature, but these two days you are more childish than Shuang'er."
They naturally knew how he was crying in front of Zhang Si and the others.
"Forget it if I die of illness, I'll go find my mother! Anyway, some people don't want me to take care of them!" Mo Cai said loudly.
"What nonsense!"
Mo Cheng's face darkened, "Mo Cai! If you keep acting like this, I'll beat you to death before you die of illness!"
After hearing this, the people in the main room got up and came to the door.
"say what
"I'd love to hear it."
After the end, Mo Cheng said with a smile.
Xiao Le coughed a few times, and Mo Cheng took out the pills for him to take, chewing the fragrant pills, Xiao Le became more energetic, and at this time the person who came to apologize had already been sent away by Mo Cai.
They not only came to Mo's house to apologize, but Xiao's house and Zhang's house also went.
That's why Mo Cai and the others deliberately spared a day off from work today, just to make these people come to apologize.
Needless to say, it's really comfortable.
Regardless of whether they sincerely apologize or not, watching those people bow their heads and admit their mistakes makes them feel comfortable. Furthermore, with the lesson learned this time, even if they want to gossip, they can only say it behind their backs, and it will no longer be the same as a few days ago , Huatou started talking nonsense and couldn't stop.
However, there were also many villagers who did not participate, so Mo only wrote down those people.
"Widow Liu, what do you mean?"
After most of the people left, Widow Liu came to Xiao's house crying suddenly, knelt directly at the gate of their house, and kept saying that she was wrong, how difficult her life was after her husband died, and so on.
When Boss Xiao came out to look, he grabbed his clothes and refused to let him go.
Mrs. Xiao's face turned green, she tore the hand away and shouted loudly.
"I know that when we were girls, there were some misunderstandings between us, and you always disliked me," Widow Liu wiped her tears, and said to Sister Xiao, "But we were ignorant at that time, and many things were just misunderstandings. Just let me go..."
Said it was to apologize, but in fact it was almost like a disgusting person.
After Mrs. Zhang learned about it, she rushed over with a pole, and beat up Widow Liu who was still leaning towards Boss Xiao!
"Do you have the nerve to come to the door? I heard that you are the one who spread the gossip!"
Seeing this, Boss Xiao directly handed the wooden stick by the wall to Sister Xiao, who gave him a vicious look and then beat Widow Liu.
At this time, Widow Liu ran so fast that her tears disappeared.
Mrs. Zhang Si gave a cold snort when she saw this, and walked to Aunt Xiao's side with a shoulder pole, "This kind of person, just hit him!"
After Mrs. Xiao thanked her, she looked at Boss Xiao next to her, "If you don't do it, pass me the stick instead."
"I'm not good at beating women," Boss Xiao hurried forward to take the stick in her hand, and rubbed her shoulders again, "But if she dares to hit you, I'll beat her!"
"Humph!"
Mrs. Xiao gave him a blank look and entered the courtyard gate.
Xiao Le learned about this when Mrs. Zhang Si and the others came to work at Mo's house the next day.
"Sister-in-law, next time she does this again, you can call the whole village to her, and let's sit together and watch her fake cry."
Xiao Le said.
Aunt Xiao chuckled, "This method works, and we've seen a show that doesn't cost money."
"But she really ran into trouble when she went back yesterday," Mrs. Zhang said with a click, "As for her adoptive uncle, his wife didn't care whether the rumors were true or not, so she came to the door and beat her up. , Tsk tsk, I heard that a lot of hair has been torn off, I think, I won't go out in a short time."
When eating at noon, both Xiao Le and Mo Cheng saw that Boss Xiao and Mrs. Xiao seemed to be having an awkward relationship, and Boss Xiao kept smiling.
Mrs. Zhang Si rarely rescued the two of them. When she returned home at night, Mrs. Zhang asked Zhang Si, "If you were Xiao Dalang, would you beat Widow Liu?"
Zhang Si was taken aback, "I don't hit women."
"But she misses you and slanders me!"
Mrs. Zhang said angrily.
"Huh? Since when did she miss me?"
Zhang Si trembled in fright, and Zhang Dazhuang beside him also looked terrified. He didn't want a stepmother.
"I told you that you are Xiao Dalang now!"
"...I won't hit you unless she wants to hit you. Before I hit you, I'll beat you up."
This answer was similar to that of Boss Xiao, and Mrs. Zhang Si also sulked with Zhang Si.
"Men are cheap!"
"No, why don't you hit a woman, after all..."
The next day, when the two good sisters got together to work, they kept scolding their husband.
Xiao Le hid far away, and Mo Cheng didn't go wandering in the yard. He practiced calligraphy and discussed the plot of the story with Xiao Le in the wing room, and then wrote it out and read it to Xiao Le.
A few days later, it began to rain.
Naturally, I couldn't go to work this day, and I just wanted to talk to the Wang family, so Mrs. Xiao went to the Wang family with Zhang Si's family.
She acts as a matchmaker.
Because Uncle Wang can't hear, he doesn't know that his granddaughter Cuihong and Zhang Dazhuang are in love at all.
But in the past few days, Zhang Dazhuang came to help with work and acted so attentively, so he felt a little bit, but because he thought of his son and daughter-in-law, Uncle Wang just gave up that feeling.
It wasn't until Zhang Si and the others came to talk about the two children that Uncle Wang knew it was true.
At noon that day, Zhang Si's family and Mrs. Xiao had lunch at Wang's house. In the afternoon, Zhang Si and his wife carried the box hung with red cloth around the village, and then, out of the curiosity of the villagers, sent it to Wang's house. .
This is a custom in the village. If the betrothed person is from the village, they will carry a red box with a red gift and hang it around the village to the future family. This will tell the villagers that their two families are married.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect that kid Da Zhuang to be engaged to Cui Hong..."
"That's right, the couple of the Wang family didn't know what they committed, and Cui Hong was dumb..."
"It's fine if you're dumb, at least you won't point at the old men and scold them when they commit crimes."
Xiao Le went back to live that night. He wanted to go home and have a look, but Mo Cheng had no choice but to send him back.
When he left, he was asked to follow Mrs. Xiao and the others to Mo's house early the next morning.
"Uncle Wang said that his son and daughter-in-law were innocent disasters, just because they saw the dirty things between the nobles, they said at the time that they would not speak out, but they were still tricked by the nobles and arrested, and it didn't take long... "
Mrs. Xiao felt cold all over.
The lives of the poor are really worthless.
Xiao Shuang clenched his chopsticks tightly, "I will become an official in the future, and I will never let this happen again!"
Mrs. Xiao and his wife were immersed in the truth. Only Xiao Le heard Xiao Shuang's words. He scooped up some custard for Xiao Shuang, "Then you should study hard and become a high-ranking official. I can rely on you to run amok."
"That won't work," Xiao Shuang frowned, "Although you are my second uncle, you must know that the laws of the world are respected. If you commit a crime, I can't protect you."
"Then do you want to kill relatives righteously?"
I can just say something casually, but I don't want Xiao Shuang's eyes to turn red when he thinks about it, "If you commit an unforgivable crime, then, then I have no choice but to exterminate my relatives righteously."
Boss Xiao and his wife were a little confused when they heard the words, not knowing what they were talking about.
Xiao Le smiled and rubbed Xiao Shuang's head, "I'm very pleased, you think so, I hope that when you grow up and enter the officialdom, you will always remember what you said today."
Xiao Shuang wiped away tears, "Second Uncle, don't you think I'm heartless?"
"Where is the unfeeling talk?" Xiao Le poked his face, "I will take you to find Uncle Mo after dinner."
Under the puzzled eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Le took Xiao Shuang to Mo's house.
After the Mo family brothers heard Xiao Shuang's repeated words, Mo Cai was the first to pinch his face, "Your second uncle is right, you must always remember these words in the future."
Mo Cheng stared at him, and said to Xiao Le, "How about I accept him?"
Xiao Le thought for a while, "It's okay, anyway, it doesn't hinder our seniority."
"It's not bad to be strong," Mo Cheng looked at Xiao Shuang who was full of doubts, and said with a smile, "Let's serve tea."
Xiao Shuang was even more puzzled.
Tea?What kind of tea do you offer?
But Mo Cai understood. He brought a cup of tea and put it in Xiao's hands. Seeing that he was still standing there in a daze, he immediately patted him on the shoulder, "Kneel down and offer tea."
kneel down?
Xiao Shuang frowned and didn't move.
The master said that you can kneel down to your parents and master, but you can't kneel down to outsiders at will.
"Shuang'er, I want you to recognize him as foster father."
Xiao Le smiled.
"Father?"
Xiao Shuang exclaimed.
But in the next moment, Mo Cheng responded, and Mo Cai directly brought the tea in Mo Cheng's hand.
Mo Cheng bowed his head and took a sip of tea, and said to Mo Cai, "Bring that kid Da Zhuang over tomorrow."
"clear."
Mo nodded.
On the way home, Xiao Shuang glanced at Mo Cai behind him, pulled Xiao Le by the hem of his clothes and said in a low voice, "Have you become a foster father so hastily?"
"No loss, no loss," Xiao Le smiled and rubbed his little head.
Xiao Shuang: ... This is not a matter of losing money or losing money.
When Boss Xiao and Sister-in-law Xiao learned that Xiao Shuang recognized Mo Cheng as his adoptive father, they were so dumbfounded that Xiao Le giggled.
When Zhang Si and his wife watched their son serving tea the next day, their expressions were even more exaggerated than that of Mr. and Mrs. Xiao.
This made Boss Xiao and his wife a lot more balanced. That night, the three families began to call each other brothers, and Zhang Dazhuang and Xiao Shuang also became god brothers inexplicably.
For Zhang Dazhuang, life has not changed because of having a adoptive father, but for Xiao Shuang, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by his master, he also has to complete the tasks assigned by Mo Cheng, and he rarely even touches fish. up.
The days became bitter.
As the adoptive father of the two children, Mo Cheng also gave the two children meeting gifts respectively. He followed Mo Cai's advice and gave each of them ten taels of silver.
The two families were unwilling to accept it, so Mo Cheng took out two more jade pendants that looked very expensive at first glance, and finally, the two families chose the ten taels of silver.
To the Zhang family, ten taels of silver is undoubtedly money for building a house, and Zhang Dazhuang thought so too.
As for the Xiao family, Xiao Shuang said that he would give the money to Xiao Le for medical treatment, and Xiao Le said that he was fine and asked Xiao Shuang to keep it.
"Save it for your reading."
It would cost a lot of money for this family to support a scholar.
In a blink of an eye, it is midsummer.
The work of the Mo family had already been done, and when it came time to pay the bill, the two families insisted that they didn't ask for a penny.
And the fruits and vegetables that the Mo family ate were all sent over by the two families.
The relationship among the three families is getting closer, but the closest ones are Xiao Le and Mo Cheng.
At this time, Xiao Le was lying on the beauty's couch, and Mo Cheng was sitting beside him, holding a big cattail fan made by Boss Xiao, and gently fanning Xiao Le.
Xiao Le squinted his eyes, and said softly, "Brother Mo Cheng, I want to drink water."
Without saying a word, Mo Cheng put down the big cattail fan, held tea in one hand, helped Xiao Le up with the other, and fed him water.
After drinking the water, Xiao Le collapsed on the bed again, as if he would die if he left the bed.
Boss Xiao came to find someone, "I haven't been home for half a month, let's go home and live."
He also misses his second child very much. Without Xiao Le at home, he and Mrs. Xiao always feel that something is missing.
Ever since the three families got married, Mo Cheng always dominated Xiao Le, and the days when he went home to live there were pitifully few.
The relationship is even better than his own, Boss Xiao is sour.
No, I'm here to ask for someone again.
Xiao Le slowly followed Boss Xiao back.
Mo Cheng looked at Mo Cai, and Mo Cai looked at the sky.
"How to do."
Mo Cheng said.
Mo Cai with his hands behind his back, looked left and right but didn't speak.
"Mo Cai."
Mo Cheng shouted.
Mo Cai sighed, "Brother, he is a real brother, and Xiao Le only came home for one day in ten days and a half months, so just bear with it."
Mo Cheng didn't want to bear it, so he picked Xiao Shuang up that night for the reason of practicing big characters, and then called Zhang Dazhuang over. After half an hour, Mo went to pick up Xiao Le again.
"It's not that the children are all here, it's very lively. Xiao Le loves the excitement the most, so he wants to take it and play together."
Mo Cai said dryly.
Boss Xiao took a deep breath, "You also had the same reason last time."
"I'm not going tonight," Xiao Le waved his hands lazily, "I'll go in two days."
The real master couldn't talk anymore, so Mo Cai could only go back and tell someone in desperation.
"My sister-in-law made a lot of delicious food, and also made clothes and shoes for Xiao Le. You can let Xiao Le go back and live for a few days."
He persuaded.
Mo Cheng got up, "How about I go live at Xiao Le's house?"
"...Inappropriate, my sister-in-law is here."
Mo Cheng sighed, and said again, "Then just wait for a few days."
So Xiao Le stayed at home for several days, and Dr. Wu came here once during the period.
After all, a few months ago, he told people that this man was going to die, but a few months later, Xiao Le was still alive and kicking. Dr. Mo happened to be looking for herbs in their mountain, so he came to see Xiao Le.
After taking the pulse, Dr. Wu said, "The pulse has become much stronger."
Boss Xiao and his wife looked happy.
But the next moment, Xiao Le spit out another mouthful of blood.
He wiped the corner of his mouth calmly, "I also feel in good health."
Boss Xiao and his wife: ...
Dr. Wu hurriedly took the pulse, and Xiao Le fell asleep after a while. Dr. Wu withdrew his hand and came to the main room with the couple. He asked the couple, "Has he often vomited blood these months?"
Boss Xiao became nervous, "I would vomit once every few days, but every time I vomited, I said that I felt much better, I could eat and drink, and my cough was less."
"Yeah, it doesn't look like a problem," Mrs. Xiao frowned, it was the one who vomited blood...
"I understand," Dr. Wu said with a determined face, "it's a good thing he vomited blood. When he first vomited blood, his pulse was very weak, but now it's getting stronger. I think it's exactly as he said. After vomiting blood, My health has improved a lot.”
This is all bullshit.
After learning that Xiao Le vomited blood, the Mo family brothers rushed to the door, and Mo took Xiao Le's pulse, and gave him some medicine, "I have to decoct the decoction again, and the pills can only make him cough less."
"Will the second child know?"
Boss Xiao asked anxiously.
"No." Although Mo Cai didn't know why Xiao Le could handle it so well, he knew that the other party was not easy to die. "This is an old problem. Don't worry, it's no problem to live a seventy-year-old."
After several months of recuperation, Mo Cheng's complexion became better and better, and he took Xiao Le home directly.
Knowing that at Mo's house, Xiao Le can get Mo Cai's care, so the boss Xiao and his wife can only let them take Xiao Le away.
Zhang Si's family also came to see Xiao Le, and when they went back, they said to Mrs. Xiao and his wife, "I think Mo has some skills. Think about Mo Cheng who just came to the village. His complexion is very bad, but now? He is stronger." Many don’t say anything, and outsiders can’t see what’s wrong with him at all.”
This is also the reason why everyone felt relieved to hand over Xiao Le to the Mo family.
But reassurance is reassurance, the two families were still worrying, and went to Mo's house three times a day, until half a month later, Xiao Le started to be alive and kicking again, and then he was relieved.
He still spat out blood occasionally, but Xiao Le's complexion began to improve.
At least with some ruddy, not so pale.
They were all fed by Mo Cai's medicinal diet.
The Xiao family always remembered this love.
"I'm really fine," Xiao Le, who was followed by Mo Cheng to go to the toilet together, turned around helplessly, "Just trust me."
Life is so long, Xiao Le felt that even if he gave himself a sword, he would not die.
"But you vomited blood again today," Mo Cheng said worriedly.
"Isn't this a common thing? You have to get used to it," Xiao Le pushed him away, "If you stare at me, I'll vomit blood."
These words successfully stopped Mo Cheng.
And Mo Cai, who came back from the county seat, took out a few bank notes with a smile.
Xiao Le stared round, "So many!"
"It's all on sale in Fucheng, but many people have seen it," Mo Cai said with a smile.
In just a few months, there were more than 300 taels of silver, which Xiao Le and Mo Cheng shared equally, 150 taels each, and the remaining scraps of silver were used for Mo Cai's household, since they all lived together anyway.
Xiao Le smiled and took the bank note home and handed it to Boss Xiao and his wife.
The two of them knew what storybook Xiao Le and Mo Cheng were working on, but they didn't know that the storybook was so valuable!
Looking at the banknotes on the table, the couple felt dizzy.
"I keep 50 taels, and you can discuss how to use the remaining 100 taels."
Xiao Le took one of the bank notes, and he pushed the remaining two in front of Mrs. Xiao and his wife.
"This, how can this work!"
Mrs. Xiao's first reaction was to refuse.
"Why not? Or do you mean you don't want to support me?"
Xiao Le's eyes turned red.
"That's not what it means, second child, listen to me, this is money you earned yourself, save it and use it later."
Boss Xiao stammered.
He had never seen so much silver in his life.
"But I kept 50 taels for myself," Xiao Le raised the bank note in Yang's hand, "I will save it. If you give me the 100 taels, I will live in Mo's house and never come back."
With a dark face, Boss Xiao directly handed the banknote to Mrs. Xiao, and then dragged Xiao Le to talk about it for half an hour, probably the Xiao family was the place where he grew up, and the Mo family lived there from time to time, how could he think about it? live there...
At night, Mrs. Xiao cried and laughed while holding the two bank notes, "Uncle... Whose uncle can give my brother and sister-in-law 100 taels at will?"
Over the years, outsiders have said a lot about her and Boss Xiao, both good and bad.
Boss Xiao hugged her, "Don't cry, there's nothing to cry about, we should be happy, the second child will not have to worry about food and drink in the future, and he can marry a wife."
"Yup!"
With so much money, why can't I marry a woman?
So the next day, the confused Xiao Le was asked with smiles by the couple what kind of girl he likes.
Xiao Le felt something was wrong, so he ran to Mo's house.
As a result, Boss Xiao and his wife went straight to Mo's house and asked Brother Mo Cheng to help him find out what kind of girl Xiao Le likes.
Mo Cai glanced at Mo Cheng's dark face, coughed and said, "Then what, you can't force this matter, think about it carefully, is the lady who is married with money willing to do it herself? Maybe the family members are doing it for the bride price. How can you force Yinzi, after getting married with Xiao Le, if you can live with it on the surface, can you treat him sincerely in private?"
Most of the enthusiasm of Mr. and Mrs. Xiao disappeared immediately.
"Besides, if there is a girl who is willing to marry here, it's probably because she has money at home, so she doesn't care about Xiao Le's health. Will Xiao Le like it?"
Mo Cai asked again.
Boss Xiao and his wife stopped talking.
When Xiao Le was called from the wing room to the main room by Mo Cai again, the attitudes of Mr. and Mrs. Xiao changed greatly.
"Second, do you have a girl you like?"
"No."
"Then have you ever thought about what kind of lady you will marry in the future?"
"No, I don't want to get married, I just want to live with you," Xiao Le looked at them and said, "Don't always think about giving me a home, I have you now, I have a good home, don't Force me to get married, okay?"
"No," Mo Cheng was the first to nod.
Boss Xiao glanced at him, then asked Xiao Le, "If you don't get married, the child will..."
"Isn't Shuang'er my child? Besides," Xiao Le scratched his head, "Can someone have a child with my body?"
Boss Xiao: ...
Mrs. Xiao: ...
Come on, no amount of words will be wiped out by this sentence.
Marrying a girl back home really hurt her.
So the Xiao family never mentioned the major events in Xiao Le's life.
For the 100 taels of silver, after discussion between the husband and wife and Xiao Le's nod, they took out 50 taels to build a house. Mo Cai actively participated in building the layout of the new house, and also used Feng Shui knowledge, which was greatly appreciated by the husband and wife. .
What's going on with the Xiao family, who in the village doesn't know?
They have to raise a sick child and provide for a scholar, but just like that, their family actually built a house?
"What kind of fortune is this?
"I think it has something to do with the Mo family. The Zhang family also repaired a few houses before. Although it is a wooden house, it is better than the previous thatched house."
"Tsk tsk, these two families are also very capable, and they are lucky to be hugged by the Mo family."
No matter what they say, the people hired by the Xiao family to build a house are all members of the Xiao family except Zhang Si.
Outsiders have no choice but to get wages.
The house at home was pushed down, Xiao Le and Xiao Shuang lived in Mo's house, and Xiao Boss and his wife lived in Zhang's house.
When the house is built, it is just the time for the autumn harvest.
Standing at the gate of the new family courtyard, Xiao Le praised, "50 Liang is so beautifully repaired, it's worth it."
The bed, wardrobe and dining table at home are newly built, and the rest that can be used are old ones. The furniture cost a few taels of silver. In general, the house cost more than 50 taels.
Salary is also included in it.
"I think your house is too expensive," Xiao Le said to Mo Cheng, thinking of the yard bought by the Mo family.
"Yes, it cost more than 30 taels."
Mo Cheng nodded.
"But after being arranged, it's still good," Xiao Le comforted.
"As long as you like it," Mo Cheng smiled at him.
Xiao Le pulled him into his room to have a look, "It's so beautiful."
Mo Cheng glanced at the big bed and nodded.
Two sleepers are not crowded at all.
The Xiao family built a new house, and only invited a few close family members to have a meal, and then they were busy with the autumn harvest. After their own harvest, they helped the Mo family harvest.
After the food was dried and the food tax was paid, Mrs. Zhang went to the village head's house with her things.
Yingying from the village head's house hid behind the door, and when Mrs. Zhang talked about Mo Cai, Mo Cai's image flashed in her mind, and her face blushed a little.
The village head and others were naturally willing to marry the Mo family, and Miss Zhang also went back and told the Mo family brothers the news.
It was rare for Mo Cai to be blushing and not good at speaking, Mo Cheng smiled and said, "I will trouble my sister-in-law for everything."
Miss Zhang looked at the shy Mo Cai with a smile, she looked like a younger brother at the moment, but in the past she was even more like an older brother than an older brother.
"Don't treat other girls badly," Mo Cheng said to Mo Cai after Mrs. Zhang Si left, "The dowry silver should not be less than 20 taels, and you have to find someone to repair your room, the wardrobe is a bit small...
Mo Cai's eyes turned red as he listened, "Brother, thank you."
Although his mother is Mo Cheng's nanny, but that is his mother's love for Mo Cheng. When he followed Mo Cheng, he caused him a lot of trouble. After the nanny passed away, the master wanted to sell him, but Mo Cheng Not letting go, plus what happened later, Mo Cheng simply left there.
Only Mo Cai was taken away.
Now that he was still worrying about his own marriage, Mo Cai shed a few crocodile tears, and happily went to the carpenter to discuss what kind of furniture to make.
Mo Cheng sighed to Xiao Le, "I used to be a kid, but now I'm getting married."
Hearing this, Xiao Le poked Mo Cheng's shoulder and made fun of him, "You are reluctant to part with Mo Cai."
"He's not married, so why would I be reluctant to part with it?" Mo Cheng hugged Xiao Le directly, rubbing his chin on Xiao Le's shoulder, "I just thought that the nanny must be very happy to know that he is going to get married."
Xiao Le reached out and hugged his waist.
Their relationship was only a layer away, but neither of them crossed the line. The most intimate time was sleeping with their clothes on and occasionally hugging.
Just when several families were immersed in the joy that Mo Cai's good deed was approaching, the aunt of the village head's family who married into the town came back, and she didn't know what she had said to them. The day after the aunt left, the village head's wife I found Mrs. Zhang Si.
A condition was tactfully put forward.
"Separate?"
Mo Cai was so angry that he dropped the teacup in his hand, "Impossible! Brother and I will never separate!"
He has always been smiling, but now he is so angry that he throws things in front of everyone.
"Mo Cai!"
Mo Cheng frowned.
Mo Cai looked at him with red eyes, trembling all over, "I will never separate!"
Without the son, there would be no life for him!
"When you grow up, you should live on your own."
Mo Cheng sighed.
Seeing that Mo Cai was very angry, Xiao Le quickly gave Zhang Si and Ambassador Xiao a wink, and the two quickly pulled Mo Cai to sit down.
After a few people calmed down softly, Mo Cai closed his eyes, opened his eyes after a long time and said to Mrs. Zhang, "Sisao, you help me go back to her, the family can be separated, I don't want anything, this property belongs to my elder brother! My property is only myself, if she agrees, I will marry her."
Miss Zhang naturally knew that the brothers of the Mo family had a good relationship, and she also knew that Mo Cai and Mo Cheng were not brothers of the same mother, but they had a better relationship than real brothers.
She didn't expect that the other party would suddenly make this request.
"This……"
"I can guess what they are thinking with my toes," Mo Cai wiped his eyes fiercely, "It's just that I think Eldest Brother is not in good health, and I'm afraid that he will have to take care of Eldest Brother after we get married! No, will they still agree to this marriage?"
The people present fell silent.
"Sister-in-law Si, this matter was brought up by the village head's wife, what does Yingying think?"
Xiao Le broke the silence.
"That's right, I don't know what Yingying thinks," Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Xiao, "I have to ask."
Mrs. Xiao nodded.
So the two went to the village chief's house together.
Coincidentally, the village chief's wife and Yingying's mother and daughter are all at home.
After saying some polite words, Mrs. Xiao asked, "Have you discussed the terms you proposed with each other?"
"That's right," Yingyingniang covered her mouth and smiled, "Of course it was discussed."
Mrs. Xiao and Miss Zhang looked at Yingying.
Yingying blushed and hid from her mother. Seeing that they were still looking at her, she knew they were asking herself. She bit her lip and said softly, "Auntie said, you have to have a long-term plan."
"There is no old man in the Mo family, so the family should be separated," the village chief's wife said with a smile. It won't change."
Mrs. Zhang Si sighed softly, "They have a good relationship..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yingying Niang, "They are all people with sons and daughters, so I won't talk about scenes, just take your girl as an example. In the case of the family, do you want to let them divide the family before the girl gets married?"
"When parents are away, many brothers will separate. After this separation, things will be less and life will be easier."
Seeing that the two of them did not speak.
The village head's wife took her daughter-in-law's words and said, "Even if we don't mention this, if Mo Sanlang gets married in the future, doesn't his wife want to separate the family?"
Mrs. Zhang Si took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Your considerations are correct, and Yingying is indeed a good girl. It's a pity that Mo doesn't have this blessing."
"It's getting late, so let's go back," Mrs. Xiao got up and said with a smile, "The sky is still so good, and the days are still long. Yingying's life will be very good in the future."
This last sentence is commonly used by everyone, and it means to end marriage.
The faces of the village head and wife suddenly changed, Yingying's eyes were red, and she hurriedly grabbed her mother's clothes.
Yingyingniang yelled, and asked the two to sit down, "Why don't you say this, the two children are good, and their lives are not bad."
"I've said it clearly, Mo doesn't want to separate."
Mrs. Zhang looked at them with the corners of her lips pulled.
"So you want to live together all your life?"
The village head's wife clutched her handkerchief, "There are none in this village... Of course, except for Xiao Erlang."
She glanced at Mrs. Xiao with some displeasure, and felt that the Xiao family and the Mo family had a good relationship, so she didn't want them to marry the Mo family. Isn't this just dividing them?
"There is no need for my aunt to talk nonsense about our family's affairs," Aunt Xiao showed a cold smile, "The Mo family does not agree with your conditions. I don’t know, so forget it.”
"Wait! How do you say it doesn't count!"
The Mo family is the best family in the village at the moment. Before Mo Cai said that he was engaged, everyone didn't think about it. Now that Zhang Sisao came to propose marriage, they realized that Mo Cai was not engaged at all. They naturally wanted to marry the Mo family.
"Mo's family business was all saved by Mo Sanlang, so if you want Mo to separate the family, then what Mo gets is himself. If you are willing, you can continue to discuss this marriage. If you feel that you are at a disadvantage, you can only get Mo. That’s right, we won’t talk about it anymore.”
Mrs. Zhang said.
This means that the Mo family's family business has nothing to do with Mo Cai.
Yingying turned pale, and her mother said anxiously, "How can there be none? There have been two shares in this family since ancient times!"
"Yes, there are two copies, but who told you that they are brothers?"
Mrs. Zhang uttered what Mo Cai had taught her.
Now the village head and wife were really shocked.
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xiao also left the village head's house.
"Why did you say that?"
Aunt Xiao said worriedly.
"Oh, this is what Mo Cai secretly told me just now. If they are still entangled, tell them about it."
Mrs. Zhang Si sighed.
Now it's all right, according to the temperament of the village head's wife, the whole village may know that Mo Cai and Mo Cheng are not brothers.
Sure enough, within a few days, word spread in the village.
Mo Cheng lost his temper with Mo Cai.
"In order to break their minds, you don't think of yourself as my brother, Mo Cheng?!"
Mo Cai knelt in front of the nanny's tablet, with a sullen face, and replied stiffly, "I don't just cut their minds, all the people who want me to be separated because of the good life in our house, I wouldn't even give them that chance."
"Separation is good for you," Mo Cheng closed his eyes with a headache, "You can completely set up your own family."
"Back then, when I was not serving the young master, I offended the eldest young master, was held in the courtyard, and received fifty boards. If the young master hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have the life to live in this world. Portal, unless I die!"
Mo Cheng laughed angrily, "Okay, don't call me Big Brother, but Young Master?"
Mo Cai stiffened his neck and didn't speak.
The two brothers fought coldly.
Mo Cheng went directly to Xiao's house to live.
Mo Cai never came to see it.
The Zhang family and the Xiao family were so anxious that they began to persuade them from both sides.
But one is more stubborn than the other.
"Where did I go wrong? He is such a big man, he should always think about himself, isn't that what he should be?"
Mo Cheng was extremely irritable, and felt a little more aggrieved in front of Xiao Le.
"This is a separated family. Isn't it enough to build the house next to it? It's not far away, and it's still a family! Besides, I don't know him yet? I really like her girl, but how did this sincerity come to the branched family?" , will it disappear immediately?"
Mo Cheng was even angrier.
Xiao Le slowly pulled him to sit down, raised his hand to press his head, without saying a word.
And here, Mo Cai, who was crying like a child in front of Zhang Si and Boss Xiao, also yelled loudly.
"Why doesn't he understand! Is it that simple to separate the family? After the separation, can I still want to come to him? Can I take care of him if I want to?"
"He saved my life. If I leave him, am I still human? When my mother passed away, she urged me to take good care of him. How could I leave him just because of myself? ?”
Mo Cai felt that he was lost by Mo Cheng.
People from far away could hear loud cries coming from the Mo family.
Zhang Si and Boss Xiao became hoarse from persuasion.
Still nothing.
What was even more worrying was that within a few days, Mo Cai fell ill.
When Xiao Le went to look for him, he knocked on the door for a long time and no one opened it. He immediately asked Da Zhuang who followed him to turn into the yard, only to find Mo Cai who was burning badly.
When Mo Cai woke up, Mo Cheng and Xiao Le were sitting beside his bed.
Mo Caihong looked at the two of them, but did not speak.
Xiao Le's hand poked Mo Cheng from behind.
Mo Cheng held back for a while, and finally let out a long sigh, "It's not worth it."
"It's worth it," Mo Cai finished, turned over and turned his back to them, obviously not wanting to talk to Mo Cheng anymore.
"you……"
Mo Cheng frowned, and when he wanted to speak, the two saw Mo Cai trembling all over, Xiao Le turned him over to see, Mo Cai's face was full of tears, very pitiful.
"Don't cry," Xiao Le pushed Mo Cheng away, and directly wiped Mo Cai's tears with the quilt, "On weekdays, you are the most mature, but these two days you are more childish than Shuang'er."
They naturally knew how he was crying in front of Zhang Si and the others.
"Forget it if I die of illness, I'll go find my mother! Anyway, some people don't want me to take care of them!" Mo Cai said loudly.
"What nonsense!"
Mo Cheng's face darkened, "Mo Cai! If you keep acting like this, I'll beat you to death before you die of illness!"
After hearing this, the people in the main room got up and came to the door.
"say what
