Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 271
Mu Wu thanked him again, and obediently moved the chair to the shade for the old woman, and got her a few compliments, and of course he said a few words about her son being so filial.

Mu Wu guessed that her son should not be at home all year round, so he chatted along the lines.The old lady is also good at talking, and she is more and more happy to talk with a young man to accompany her.

Mu Wu guided the topic without any trace, and finally, it finally changed to the aspect of unfilial son.

He patted the dust on his trousers, and said with a smile, "Auntie, you are so lucky to have a filial son. When I was rushing here from Kao City a few days ago, I just heard something. Mother's misfortune."

The old woman's eyes lit up. Women are by nature the most gossipy, no matter they are young or old. Of course, sometimes, the older they are, the more powerful they are.She hastily urged, "You young man, if you don't rush on your way, tell your aunt about it."

Mu Wu said with a smile, "My aunt gave me two bowls of water to drink, so I will tell my aunt something new, and I should thank my aunt. To the north of our Kao City is the sacred mountain, the sacred mountain. Auntie has heard that it is said that the god descended from the sky. the great mountain."

The old lady nodded quickly, and said, "I know, tell me what happened to Shenshan?"

"Oh, there is a village at the foot of Shenshan Mountain called Lijia Village. There is an old lady in the village who misses her son very much because she has been serving as a soldier all year round. She only lives with her little granddaughter and lives a very hard life. Last year, her son received The daughter-in-law and grandson who married abroad came back. The old lady was very happy, and she talked all day long that their old Li family had not cut off the incense. So she loved her daughter-in-law and grandson very much. Unfortunately, I don’t know if it was a sin from the gods, or Things are unpredictable. The daughter-in-law there is not a good thing, she is domineering and has no rules. She has never stopped since she entered the old lady's house. She either beat and scolded her son for being incompetent, or forced the old lady to ask for the keys to the house. The wife gave her all the money because of her children and grandchildren, and she said that the old lady hid her secrets and gave the money to the granddaughter next door, and she lay on the ground in front of everyone in the village, yelling and cursing, which made the old lady stunned. Sick. Even so, the old lady did not punish her. Later, when she went shopping in the city, for some reason, she kicked off the child that was pregnant by a young wife. The family of the young wife sued her to the yamen Well, the old lady borrowed money and fished her out together with her natal family, and then asked her son to write a revision book, and finally divorced this shrew from the house. You said auntie, such a shrew would be fatal to anyone. "

The old woman nodded, and began to mutter in her heart that her son must keep his eyes open when looking for a wife in the future.

Mu Wu went on to say, "If it's just like this, it's fine for the old lady to live a good life with her children and grandchildren. But this is not over yet, the old lady's son has become addicted to gambling for some reason, and he owes gambling debts outside, so he insists on killing his original wife. Of course, the old lady would not allow her daughter to repay the debt. She quarreled with her son and died of anger. Her son was also timid, afraid of being beaten by the village elders, he ran to the mountains overnight, but accidentally fell down. She fell off the cliff and died too. Only two children were left at home. Auntie, tell me, this old lady is too unlucky. Why did she end up with such an unworthy couple. "

The old woman also sighed, "No, this old sister is unlucky enough to have such a son and daughter-in-law. However, she is also to blame. She should have looked at her first. The daughter-in-law is so unruly, how can she be so unruly?" Let her in."

Mu Wu echoed, "Everyone said the same thing, but I heard from people in their village that the son... well, it seems that he was working in our Stone Fort back then, and the wife he married was from here, and the bridge was built by the boss, so It’s not easy to refuse, I didn’t expect…”

As soon as the old woman heard that the shrew and daughter-in-law belonged to them, she immediately became excited. This is great news. You must ask whose daughter it is, and tell a few old sisters someday, they will not be shocked to death No wonder.

"We are from Stone Fort? Do you know what the daughter-in-law's last name is?"

Mu Wu frowned and thought about it carefully, "It seems that the surname is Gu. I also heard people say it, and I can't be sure. However, if the daughter-in-law who was divorced knows what happened to her in-law's house now, she will destroy her in-law's yard and several people. Once the mu field is sold, there will be hundreds of silver, and then the youngest son will be brought back to raise, not to mention the reunion of mother and child, and the days to come will have no worries about food and clothing, which is not bad."

"My surname is Gu, married to Kao City? Ah, I know it's..." The old lady thought of the girl from the Gu family in her city who was abandoned by her husband's family, and she suddenly realized that she was talking about Gu Liuniang. Think about it, the fifth sister-in-law next door was still worrying about borrowing a large sum of money yesterday, and today she kindly gave a bowl of water, and found a way for her family to make money. It would be no problem for them to borrow a hundred taels of silver.And I will definitely get a generous gift.

The more the old woman thought about it, the more she couldn't sit still, she wished she could go to the next door immediately, and grab Mrs. Gu Wu to show her respect to her.

After observing his words and expressions, Mu Wu knew that the matter was done, so he stood up and left wisely. The old woman was afraid that Gu's family would have to inquire about the details, so she asked him where he lived. Of course Mu Wu would not tell him, only said that his family The shop's carriage is waiting for him outside the door, and he will be driving back overnight today.

The old woman had no choice but to send him out, and before he could go far, she turned a corner and knocked open the courtyard next door.

Mu Wu found a teahouse nearby, and chose a blind corner near the window, where he could see the outside clearly, but outsiders couldn't easily see him.He beckoned the buddy to serve two plates of snacks and a pot of tea, and started eating while looking at the yard.

This stone castle is a small place, not as prosperous as Kao City, and the desserts are also very ordinary. Mu Wu only ate half a piece of golden cake made of breaded noodles and couldn't eat it anymore, so he simply poured a pot of tea to satisfy his hunger.

Fortunately, Mrs. Gu Wu didn't keep her waiting any longer. She ran out with a happy face in less than a quarter of an hour, went straight to the yamen of the frontier camp on North Street, and then dragged a burly man back. It was the last time I went to Lijia Village Gu Goro.

Less than two quarters of an hour later, Gu Wulang and his wife came out together with the old woman.

Mu Wu settled the bill and followed them quietly, because the sky was already dark, so he was not afraid of being seen by several people.He didn't feel relieved until they entered a slightly spacious courtyard and heard an old voice faintly coming from inside.

Going back to the inn to have dinner and lying on the bed, Mu Wu suddenly became curious, wanting to see what the Gu family has become now, thinking of how jealous the girls of the spring equinox are to that woman, and talk to them when they go back , they will be happy.

So he went out again, turned left and right, and arrived outside a small thatched cottage not far from Gu Wu's house. Weeds, a man was standing by the well in the yard, lifting the water up with great difficulty, and poured it into the big wooden basin next to him with a bang, then straightened up with a groan, beat it hard a few times, muttered and cursed , "It's so damn dark so fast, I still have clothes to wash. The Gu family who killed thousands of dollars, can starve to death without your mother. Wait until the day my mother has the ability to kill you one by one. Kick them all to death."

Mu Wu took advantage of the dim moonlight to distinguish carefully, this woman with unkempt hair, big arms and round waist, whose color could no longer be seen in her dress, was really the Gu family from Lijia Village back then. She was wearing a red dress at that time, Pointing at my mother-in-law's nose and yelling, rolling all over the floor, how arrogant and majestic, I didn't expect to end up today.

Mrs. Gu may have been tired of cursing, so she went into the room and took out a piece of dry biscuit and a bowl, scooped some water into the bucket, and started eating, choking on the hard dry biscuit from time to time and stretching her neck.Even Mu Wu bared his teeth as he watched from outside the wall, feeling that she was both hateful and pitiful.

If she had been a little filial at the beginning, her wife would have kept their family wealthy and honored for the rest of their lives. How could the family be ruined like it is today.So, people cannot do evil, the gods see everything, and the retribution will come down sooner or later.

If Mrs. Gu is smart, if she brings back the tiger this time, no matter how bad her hands are, her brothers can leave her a hundred and eighty taels, open a small grocery store, or a small cookbook, and the two of them will never be hungry. .I'm afraid that if she doesn't reflect on herself, if she does something stupid again, it will be over...

In the early morning of the second day, Mu Wu sat at the noodle soup stall by the gate of the city, and after watching Gu Si Gu Wu gallop away, he threw ten cents on the table, and then went back to the inn to settle the rent and buy dry food , Leading the horse is also on the road.

He walked slowly during the day, and guessed that the Gu brothers had rested at night, so he began to beat his horse and run wildly, and finally returned to the village before the two of them.

Before I had time to wash up, I went to report to my wife and told the details of the past few days.Mu Ai has always trained him as a key target, planning to send him to Huadu to be in charge of the Shiweitian Branch when things are settled in autumn. After all, it is the center of Baihua Kingdom, where the powerful There are a lot of people, and there are a lot of rich people, so the candidate for the treasurer must be steady and down-to-earth, and not too rigid.

This time, Mu Wu handled things so beautifully, and calculated everything properly, which really made her very satisfied. Thinking about it, in the future, with him as the shopkeeper in Huadu, she wouldn't have to worry too much.

Mu Wu was very happy to get the praise, he retreated to wash up, and was just going to the big kitchen to find something to eat.Seeing Chun Equinox brought in a square plate with four dishes and a plate of scallion pancakes on it, all of which he liked to eat, he asked very happily, "Why did you bring me food, but you made it yourself?" ?”

Chun Equinox chuckled, "Madam ordered me to prepare it for you, saying that you have worked hard on errands."

Mu Wu scratched the back of his head, stared at her and smiled.Chun Equinox blushed when he saw it, and said angrily, "Thank you Ma'am."

Mu Wu hastily bowed to the main room and said, "Thank you Madam."
