After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

Yuan Qi pounded the table and asked him: "You just said that your wife was diligent, why is she selfish now?"

Ma Wu explained eagerly: "She is diligent, but she is selfish. She uses the money she earns and the money I earn to buy food and doesn't let me keep it."

Yuan Qi had heard enough: "Then let me ask you, how many copper coins does she earn in a day, how much do you earn in a day, and how much do you pay home?"

Ma Wu proudly stretched out his hand and said, "I carry people's bags on the pier outside and earn fifty coppers a day. Sometimes I do some work at night and earn a hundred. I spend ten coppers on drinking and the rest is I will lay down forty copper coins, give thirty to my mother for safekeeping, and ten to my daughter-in-law to support the family. My daughter-in-law can earn twenty every day, and I don’t want a single copper from her. She keeps it for herself. How about I be a good person? A man, right?"

"What a fart!" Yuan Qi really wanted to hit him, "Then who pays for your family's expenses?"

Ma Wuli said confidently: "Of course she is my wife. She owns all my money. If she doesn't pay, who will pay for it?"

"Then who does your mother eat and drink?" Yuan Qi asked helplessly. He didn't know who had brainwashed Ma Wu to think that this was good for his wife and that she was extremely happy.

Ma Wu knew what Yuan Qi meant: "Of course my mother eats my food and drinks my food. My mother has saved all the money I gave her. My mother said she can't touch the money in her hand. She wants to provide for my son." Study, and use it for my son to get a wife. But sooner or later, the money will belong to me and my wife, but it is just for my mother to keep for a while. Little Taoist Priest, isn’t this a matter of course? Why are you still angry? "

Yuan Qi asked him: "Then how much money did your mother leave to your daughter-in-law when she died?"

Ma Wu sighed: "My mother died three years ago. She was sick and needed medical treatment, so I spent all the money my mother saved and the remaining money bought a coffin and held the funeral. There’s not much left. But I can’t blame my mother for this. My mother originally…”

Yuan Qi interrupted him angrily: "Okay, stop making excuses for yourself. You and your mother teamed up to bully your daughter-in-law for so many years. You beat your daughter-in-law every day, and you also asked your daughter-in-law to wash and cook for you. You have to make money to take care of your children, and you still say that your wife enjoys happiness, are you trying to get kicked by a donkey!"

Ma Wu thought for a moment, what was going on: "This..."

He said "this" for a long time, and finally said: "But aren't all women in the world like this? When my mother first married my father, she did this every day, and my father beat her, so how could it be my daughter-in-law's turn? Isn’t it okay? How come you, a little Taoist priest, are like this? Women all over the world are like this."

Yuan Qi pointed at him angrily and scolded: "I want you to be a woman in the next life!"

No matter what she said, Ma Wu's wife was dead and she couldn't change this fact.

"Then tell me, why did you come to see me today?"

Ma Wu asked her back: "Everyone says your calculations are accurate, can't you see it?"

Yuan Qi twitched the corner of his mouth: "I see it. Your wife is dead and I feel aggrieved. I torture you every day."

Ma Wu immediately became excited: "Yes, that's it! Little Taoist Master, you are so awesome. Let me ask you, can you ask my wife to stop pestering me? Let her go quickly. I'm tired of it. She comes here every day. In my dream, they kept beating me with a whip, making me work, scolding me for being ruthless, cruel, and not a human being, I couldn’t bear it.”

"You deserve it! I won't take this job." Yuan Qi felt that Ma Wu simply deserved it.

Ma Wu said: "No, I didn't kill her, so why is she pestering me? Besides, how much money have I spent on her over the years? She hanged herself with a hemp rope and left two children behind. I will look for her again." My wife and others dislike me for having two prostitutes. You must take care of this matter."

Yuan Qi chuckled: "You still rely on me?"

Ma Wu said confidently: "I didn't rely on you, I paid for it. If you take the job, you should do things for me."

Yuan Qi packed up his things angrily: "Okay, I'll go with you and settle this cause and effect."

Ma Wu lived in a remote alley in Kyoto. The people who lived here were all poor people. When they saw Ma Wu coming with a little Taoist nun, they all came to watch the fun. Some even shouted loudly: "Everyone, come and see, Ma Wu Here comes the capable little Taoist priest from Tianshui Street!"

As he shouted, many people came out from everywhere and followed Yuan Qi and pointed. "This little Taoist priest is very capable despite his young age!"

"I heard that she can see ghosts. You said Cuixiang has been dead for more than a month. Isn't the ghost still gone?"

"It's probably because she didn't leave. Otherwise, why would Ma Wu dream about her every night?"

Neighbors here all know that Ma Wu has been pestered by Cuixiang for more than a month. He can't sleep well every night, and Ma Wu can't beat Cuixiang in his dream.

Ma Wu's home is also very simple. It has no courtyard walls and is surrounded by a fence. There is a boy and a girl working in the yard, and they are wringing clothes together.

Seeing the handsome Yuan Qi, he looked over curiously.

The yard was a little dirty and it had obviously not been cleaned for a long time.

The pots and dishes in the kitchen on one side were not washed. Ma Wu went into the kitchen, took a look, and shouted to the girl: "Didn't I ask you to wash the pots and dishes? Why haven't you washed them yet?"

The little girl quickly put her clothes on the clothesline and ran to wash the pots and dishes.

The older boy said: "Dad, my sister has been working, she is not lazy."

Ma Wu touched his son's head: "Don't speak for her. After your mother is dead, she should do the work your mother did. She is a loser. She will get married sooner or later. Learn more now. If you work, you won't be disliked by others in the future. As for you, you can't do these jobs. You are the one who does big things. When I have money, I will let you study. After you study, you can become a high official... "

Yuan Qi sat on the side and sarcastically said in a low voice: "You are still trying to make a big pie? You can't even eat, and you are still talking about such nonsense, tsk tsk..."

He actually knew that studying was a serious way out.

The ghost of Cuixiang did not dare to be in the yard under the blue sky and white sun.

Yuan Qi saw that both the girl and the boy were thin. They were obviously about the same age as her, but they were much shorter than her.

She couldn't bear it, so she took out a piece of dried meat from the cloth bag and handed it to the girl: "You are hungry, eat it."

When Ma Wu saw the meat, he ran towards this side and said, "A girl is not worthy of eating meat!"

The little girl was so frightened that she almost dropped the dried meat to the ground.

Yuan Qi protected the little girl: "Shut up, this is for her, please mind your own business!"

Ma Wu shut up in anger. He was also surprised that he was so yelled at by a little girl that he didn't dare to say a word.

He licked his lips. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time, okay?

The little girl divided the dried meat into two halves and handed one half to her brother. The brother and sister ate it in small bites, enjoying it very much.

However, after two bites, the two of them stopped eating and planned to save it for another meal. They couldn't finish such a delicious thing at once.

"Eat it. I'll give you another piece when you're done."
