A good wife and a good mother

Chapter 136: To Marry or Not to Marry (3)
Hearing that the whole village was invited to eat, no one was a fool, they all came out of the house and gathered around the door of Mo Achun's house. Yan Guanyan was a little afraid of Mo Daxi, so he drove his two sons out early to receive the golden fruit.At this time, everyone saw Mo Wufeng walking over with Xu Shaolin supported by Mo Wufeng, and Mo Dai and Mo Wuyun who followed behind each carried a big bamboo basket covered with a red cloth, presumably to invite the villagers to eat the golden fruit.

Mo Achun was also very happy today, because all the villagers gathered to congratulate her three sons, and when she saw the big basket carried by Mo Dai and Mo Wuyun, the look on her face was even more happy Oh, hmph, Mo Daxi is smart, there are two big baskets of things, besides the golden fruit for the villagers, there should be other things, if the things Mo Daxi sends are too shabby, she will shake them out in public and let Mo Daxi no face!
Mo Alan followed behind Mo Achun, squinting his eyes at Mo Dai who came with a bamboo basket on his back, with a smile on his face, very kind.

Mo Dai and Mo Wuyun unloaded the big baskets on their backs, and many children surrounded them chirping, and the adults also moved forward as if they didn't exist.Modai stretched out her hands and patted them, signaling them to keep quiet, and found a big stone to step on to increase her height, and then said loudly: "Fellow folks, today is the day when the three cousins ​​of my aunt's family in the hall are getting married. As my cousin, first of all, I would like to congratulate them on their marriage. I hope that after they get married and go to the wife’s house, they will be happy with their wives and daughters, be harmonious and beautiful, and be full of gold and jade! The three lords made two large baskets of golden fruits and prepared to distribute them to the villagers. Firstly, it was to win the prize for the three cousins, wishing them to have a daughter soon; secondly, to let the villagers also enjoy the festive atmosphere. Of course, it would be even better if the folks can say auspicious words of congratulations to the three cousins! Now please line up, everyone has a share!"

Then I saw the villagers lined up to get the golden fruit one by one, each with a big handful, no matter adults or children, after receiving them, all the villagers consciously congratulated Mo Achun.

The matchmaker who came to pick up the newlywed also had the cheek to get a handful of golden fruits and chewed them. While chewing, he said to Mo Alan who kept a kind smile: "This girl called Mo Daxi is not bad. It is very popular, I have never seen such a lively scene of marrying sons in ten miles and eight villages like today!"

Mo Alan was still smiling and didn't answer, but in his heart he vaguely felt that the elder sister seemed to be played by Mo Daxi again today.

Here, at first, Mo Achun heard that the word "congratulations" was quite useful, and grinned and said "same happiness" to others, but after hearing this, she became bored and numb, her smile froze, and she didn't bother to speak anymore .

When the two baskets of golden fruits were all squandered, Mo Achun's face turned dark, what does this Mo Daxi mean?What about giving her three sons a lottery?Are you kidding her?That being the case, don't blame her for making her ashamed in front of everyone!
At the same time, a group of people in the village chatted while chewing the golden fruit——

"This Mo Daxi really paid a lot of money for the three sons of Mo Achun's family today! Look at this golden fruit, made of pure white flour, it must have been dipped in oil with eggs and fried, not dry fried That's why it's so crispy, and look at the sucrose on it, tsk, there are so many golden fruits, there are more than five or six catties of sucrose!"

"I'm afraid it will cost ten catties, and a catty of sucrose will cost more than ten yuan, and the sugar alone will cost a hundred yuan, and the white flour, eggs, oil, etc., I'm afraid it will cost several hundred yuan. Ah, what a great deal!"

"Mo Daxi is promising now. The house is built so well. Although I heard that he still owes Fu Mantang a silver tael, his house has finally been built. We can't compare with it!"

"If you can spend a few hundred coins to make golden fruits and distribute them to the people in our village, if you want to give Mo Achun's three sons the lottery money, the lottery will be even more!"

"That's for sure, Mo Daxi has changed for the better now. I also heard from Tian Jin from the patriarch's family that Mo Daxi is generous and polite, and he is no longer the bastard he used to be!"

"Not to mention anything else, just because she can do such a show for the three sons of Mo Achun's family today, it can be seen that she is not bad. Over the years of the ancestors of the Mo family village, which rich family is willing to spend money to do such a thing?" How many golden fruits are distributed to the villagers? No, Mo Daxi is the first!"

"Mo Achun was dragged this time, Mo Daxi must have given a lot of prizes, let's ask?"

"Ask, at least to satisfy our curiosity..."

So just when Mo Achun wanted to expose Mo Daxi's bad deeds, someone came forward to ask him, so Mo Achun said very angrily: "That plague-stricken thing doesn't treat me at all." This elder puts it in his eyes, he would rather spend hundreds of pennies to make food for outsiders than give a penny to his three cousins!"

Mo Achun originally thought that once she said this, Mo Daxi would be cast aside by everyone, but it was Mo Achun herself who was cast aside.

"I'm talking about Mo Achun. You have to speak with conscience. What's wrong with Mo Daxi making food for us to eat? You don't need to pay a penny, and the children are doing the show for your three sons. You just don't know how to be grateful. You are really a foolish old bastard who still scolds other people's children!"

"That's right, you said that Mo Daxi didn't win the lottery, who would believe it, such a good boy, who is willing to spend a few hundred renminbi to make food for us, how could he lose your lottery? You are afraid that we will be jealous if you say it, right? Don't worry, no one will be jealous of you!"

"Let's not talk about it, Mo Daxi is wholeheartedly trying to win prizes for her three sons, and even asked the villagers to pray for her three sons, but in the end, she kindly treated her as a donkey's liver and lungs, that's all, go away, it's boring!"

"I really feel worthless for that child Mo Daxi! If my niece did this for me, I would definitely treat her like my own daughter! Sigh!"

Mo Achun was dumbfounded by the words, what's the matter?Mo Daxi obviously didn't do anything for her three sons, she was just telling the truth, why did the villagers talk about her the other way around?
However, what made Mo Ahchun even more dumbfounded was that the matchmaker listened to all the conversations between the villagers and her. The matchmaker was an old man who was nearly fifty years old. Originally, he thought that Mo Ahchun was a good person. When marrying a son, he seldom stays with the matchmaker for dinner. However, after hearing that conversation just now, he changed his mind, so he stopped eating, and only clamored to take the newly married man to the woman's house as soon as possible.

When the matchmaker and Mo Achun's daughter, Mo Dahai, led Mo Achun's three sons into the ox cart carrying three quilts and embarked on the road to marriage, Mo Achun was so angry that he punched the door frame, In the end, the door frame was fine, but she herself bent down in pain, holding her right hand and humming.

The ox cart was rented by the matchmaker when he came from the town. After all, the distance from the town to Mojia Village was quite a distance. Of course, the man paid for the rent of the ox cart, and the only time the woman paid for it was as a bride price.
