Chapter 171
"Others are other people," the patriarch's wife retorted, "Birth-born ones are always different!"

"It's okay, there's still the old son!"

Patriarch Mu began to expose his eccentricity to the naked face.

In the past, for the sake of family harmony, he could still bear it.

After discovering that the older ones were not as good as Mu Yao's nephew, he didn't want to wrong himself anymore.

After giving birth, you don't expect your son to repay your kindness, and you can't add trouble like this.

Since the superficial peace is not there, why should he be scruples.

Hearing this, the patriarch's wife no longer objected, "I'm going to cook zongzi."

She is also partial to her younger son.

"I'll light the fire," Lu She said positively, "I'm the best at this."

"Hey, this guy took the wrong medicine?"

Among the group of people, Patriarch Mu was the most wary of Lu She.

This fellow has a thick skin and poor health, so he can only turn a blind eye most of the time.

"He hasn't been normal since the afternoon," said the patriarch's wife, with an indescribable expression, "Usually it's either this pain or that pain, and it takes a long time to do anything, but today his hands and feet are very dexterous. After cleaning the chicken coop, he also cleaned the latrine. "

"Really?" Patriarch Mu raised his eyebrows, "Didn't he run away in the middle of the night last night because he couldn't stand being dirty?"

"Misunderstanding," Lu She smiled flatteringly before explaining, "Yesterday I just wanted to go out for a stroll because I thought the moonlight was good."

"Do you have to choose a time when everyone is asleep in the middle of the night?"

"Aren't you afraid of disturbing your sleep?"

"Well said," Patriarch Mu clapped his hands, "However, last night was gloomy and there was no moon!"

This is... embarrassing.

Lu She froze for a moment, then immediately returned to normal, "A slip of the tongue, the room was stuffy and I couldn't sleep, the old man came out to blow the air, look at my brain, it's not good to be old, I'd better go to work."

After speaking, he ran into the kitchen as if fleeing.

Seeing this scene, Mu Yao narrowed his eyes, "What happened today?"

"Never mind," Su Dai explained in a low voice, "He's just too afraid of death!"

"Because of that illness?"

"More than that, he should have already guessed that I was the one who prescribed Lao Liu's medicine, that's why I'm so courteous all of a sudden."

It was also active in the town before, but not the same.

At that time, he just wanted to form a good relationship and didn't force much, but now he is like an old peacock with his tail open, wishing to engrave the word "high profile" on his forehead.

"If you guess it, you guess it," Mu Yao didn't care, "Knowing that Xiao Ming is in our hands, he will be honest without doing anything."

"Well, let's observe for a while and see how long he can last."

After this episode, the days calmed down.

The three members of Mu Yao's family went to the village early to help, and occasionally stayed overnight when it was too late. In this way, by mid-May, they finally moved all the grain into the granary.

During the period, Li Nian and the other three also came to help in turn. However, the few children left by the Changfang in the county never showed up.

"The grain is finally in the warehouse, thanks to you this year," Patriarch Mu leaned on the chair and let out a long sigh of relief, "Boy Yao, don't come here again as a husband and wife from tomorrow onwards, we can take care of the rest of the work slowly, Li Nian You too, just keep guarding the herbal tea stand in the future."

"It's okay." Li Nian has been busy for a while, and Li Nian has become dark and thin, but his spirit is much better than before. "After taking the medicine prescribed by my sister-in-law, my little girl's health has improved, and I don't need others to take care of me anymore." , I am much freer now."

"The mentality is very good, keep it up," Patriarch Mu sighed, "That's right, don't forget your original intention!"

"Why are you talking so well?" The patriarch's wife was not happy. "Boss and the others are doing something wrong. Why do you make trouble for these good children? If you are really angry, go to the county town and beat them up. How dare they fight back?"

The patriarch's wife has a hearty personality. After getting along with Liu Hui, she was completely led astray.

"I don't have any other intentions," Patriarch Mu felt guilty, "I just think it's outrageous for these children not to come back even after half of the busy farming season."

"What's the rush? They'll come back after paying the tax," the patriarch's wife didn't care. "Look, I'm sure you'll be more active than anyone else when it comes to pulling food."

It used to be the same, but it would be helpful anyway, so it was not so obvious.

This year the old son is not here, and there is no one in the family to support the appearance, but because of the nephew, it is easier than in previous years.

With such a comparison, you will feel the gap.

Don't try your best, don't say it with your mouth, but have to put it into action.

The patriarch's wife didn't say anything on the surface, but she didn't want to see these people completely in her heart.

Patriarch Mu didn't dare to refute, "It's not so easy this year. We planted the land. They didn't even pull out a single grass. The family has no responsibility to bear their rations."

"It should have been like this a long time ago. You have always been soft-hearted." The wife of the patriarch gave her husband an angry look. Do you know what's going on?

The four eldest brothers run a shop in the county seat, and they don't get a penny of the money from the family. Instead, the public is responsible for chewing and using it. What's the reason? "

"From this year onwards, we will no longer provide them with food," Patriarch Mu also agreed with his wife's point of view, "to save a group of ancestors!"

"That's how it should be." After finishing speaking, the patriarch's wife turned her head with a smile, "Yao boy, Nian boy, you two will leave later, each of you will bring back five hundred catties of wheat."

"No need," Li Nian waved his hands again and again, "We have something to eat, you just need to save the food."

His own son couldn't get any food, but he just ate and took it all the time. Are you sure he didn't mean to instigate hatred for himself?
"Our family has enough food. My aunt sells it if she thinks there is too much food." Mu Yao didn't want to get involved, "Or wait for Mu Zhuo to come back and deal with it."

"It's already half a month later." Hearing the old son's name, Patriarch Mu immediately regained his spirits, "Boy Yao, is it possible for Mu Zhuo to come back already?"

After such a long time, he didn't even receive a single letter. If it wasn't for the busy farming season and he maintained his last semblance of reason, he might have rushed straight into Fucheng.

"Not so fast," Mu Yao said with black lines on his face, "Uncle, Fucheng is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, and Mu Zhuo is not as fragile as you think, so don't worry too much."

"That's the truth," Patriarch Mu clutched his chest, "But I can't control it, this kid hasn't traveled far since he was a child, and he's lazy, and his own father is sometimes half-dead with anger, let alone outsiders. "

No matter how angry I am, I won't take it seriously. Outsiders are not so magnanimous.

Mu Yao was speechless, "The time is too short to calm down. Bringing it back now will waste all previous efforts. If uncle wants Mu Zhuo to suffer for nothing in the past ten days, just go to Fucheng to find someone."

"That's right," Patriarch Mu immediately changed his words, "You have to have a beginning and an end, how can you give up halfway?"
