The Road to the Rebirth of the Goddess

Chapter 31

Mulan went down to the first floor to watch her second sister, Mumei, sell tofu. She sat for a while without seeing Kapok: "Second sister, where is kapok?"

Mumei pouted towards the neighbor: "I went to watch TV there."

"watch TV?"

"Isn't that right? They say they're chasing a Korean TV series, and they like a certain star in it. They report at this hour every day."

Mulan smiled. Children at this age are just starting to chase stars, and she didn't think about stopping anything. There is nothing wrong with worshiping idols properly, as long as you don't get too addicted. You just go to other people's houses to watch TV all day long. Even if people don't say anything, they will definitely feel annoyed in their hearts!
Mulan thinks that she still has some savings left at home, so she should still be able to afford a TV. At this time, apart from her family, I am afraid I can’t find anyone who doesn’t even have a TV at home. Watching TV, Mu Ma didn't even have a topic for chatting with the three aunts and six wives. It was reasonable to add a TV to the house.

During dinner at night, Mulan mentioned: "Mom, do we still have money in our family? Why don't we go buy a TV!"

"Buy a TV? That's great, we also need a TV at home!" Kapok clapped her hands happily.

But Mu Ma and Mu Pa looked at each other in embarrassment: "Here, save some money two months later and buy it again!"

"Why? Did you run out of money? I remember I left more than 1 yuan when I left. I don't think I have added anything to the house! And didn't you say that you have saved some money from selling tofu these days? ? Mom, the money you earn is spent, and a TV is only a few thousand dollars. Look at how happy my little girl is!"

"No, the family's money..." Mu Ma faltered and couldn't speak.

In the end Mumei spoke up: "A few days ago, my aunt came and said that my cousin hurt his eyes by smashing chestnuts up the mountain and needed medical treatment, so my parents lent all the family money to my aunt."

"What?" Mulan was in a hurry, "Didn't I say that those who spend money should call me in advance? Especially aunts and aunts. Before I go to school, I will never lend money to them!" Cousin from previous life Encouraging the younger sister to go to the mountain to smash wild chestnuts, causing the younger sister to be smashed and injured her eyes. In the end, there was no money for medical treatment and the blindness happened recently. But Mulan has already told the younger sister not to go up the mountain. My younger sister was also obedient, she thought this would never happen, but she never thought it would happen to her cousin.

Mumei said with a straight face: "Mulan, why did you talk to your parents? I know you earned the money. Could it be that our parents raised us so much that we can't afford to spend this little money from you? Besides, the money is not taken I went to spend it, but lent it to my cousin to treat his eyes, and it’s not like I won’t return it in the future, so what if I buy the TV a few months later?”

Kapok also pulled Mulan's sleeve timidly: "Sister San, don't be angry, at most I won't watch TV anymore."

Mulan pressed down on Kapok's hand: "It's none of your business." She said to Mumei and her parents, "It's not that I'm reluctant to part with the money, even if you tell me now, the money is used to buy food and clothing. It’s on you, I don’t have a second word, I’m still happy! But what kind of people are my aunt’s family, don’t you know? Their family can’t even spend the money to treat my cousin’s eyes? I think they deliberately took advantage of us, did they write an IOU when they borrowed money?"

Mu Ma said: "Everyone's relatives, how dare you ask for an IOU."

"No, right? I knew that I don't have to expect to get the money back."

"It's not possible, your aunt said, after two months, when your uncle earns the money, he will return it."

As long as Mu Lai thinks about the fact that in his previous life, no one would lend money to help my younger sister to cure her eyes, which resulted in the blindness of the healthy younger sister, she will get angry: "Tomorrow I will go to my aunt's house for a visit." , get the money back."

"This is not good!" Mu Ma felt that she couldn't bear this face.

"That's it, I'm going to sleep!" Mulan said angrily and entered the room.

On the bed, Muma had already laid out a clean quilt for her, which still smelled like sunshine. Mulan touched the soft and comfortable quilt, and her heart softened all of a sudden, breaking her bones and tendons. It's also a family, so I have to worry about it myself.

The next day, Mu Ma still took Mulan to her aunt's house in a nearby village. Mu Ma thought it would be impolite to come to the door without a gift, so she went to the store to buy a bag of cereal and a box Milk, Mulan set off with Muma on a bicycle. On the way, Muma was still muttering, "Don't be too rude when you go to someone's house later."

"Got it!" Mulan was a little impatient.

Just after entering the village, I saw my cousin wandering alone at the entrance of the village. His eyes are already healed. In fact, being stabbed by a wild chestnut thorn in the eyes is not considered a serious injury. It caused my eyes to become inflamed, and I couldn't see things bit by bit. My father also injured his legs and completely crippled him because he went around begging for help.

Looking at the frisky little boy, Mulan felt soft-hearted for a moment. The parents' money was considered a good deed, and no one wanted to see a well-behaved child lose his eyes.

However, as soon as the bear child opened his mouth, Mulan's soft-heartedness was thrown into the air. When Mu Ma greeted her cousin, the child not only didn't call anyone, but he didn't even respond. He looked at the milk in Mu Ma's hand with disdain. Said: "Cut, our family doesn't drink this kind of milk, I only drink that kind of sweet and sour milk."

Mu Ma bought pure milk, but he was referring to those colorful milk drinks.

Mu Ma told him kindly: "People in the county say that only pure milk is nutritious."

The cousin rolled his eyes: "What's so great about the county, our family will move to the county soon."

"What did you say?" Mu Ma didn't understand.

Mulan understood: "Your family plans to buy a house in the county?"

"Of course, I'm all optimistic. My dad will pay the money in two days."

"How can your family have the money to buy a house? Didn't you borrow the money I gave you to see your eyes a few days ago?" Mulan said intentionally.

As expected, the child couldn't stand the excitement, and the cousin's neck turned red all of a sudden: "Your family has no money! My family has a lot of money. Your family has mud legs, and you have the nerve to buy a house in the county to show off. You should get some money from your family." Money to spend."

How can a child say such a thing, and they all heard it from adults. Mulan said to Muma: "Mom, listen, this is how their family teaches children, and you think it is wrong to lend them money?" Did you do any good deeds?"

Mu Ma was also angry: "Who taught you to say this?"

The cousin also knew that he had said something wrong, so he said casually: "I said it myself." He ran away without a trace.

When I arrived at my aunt's house, my aunt came out to greet her, saying: "My sisters, come here, what else do you bring!" But she took all the gifts brought by Mu Ma in her hand.

After entering the door, pouring two cups of herbal tea is considered hospitality. Seeing the thick layer of tea stains in the cup, Mulan lost her appetite. I opened a box of pure milk, opened the package and took out two bottles, and Muma and I each had a bottle: "I met my cousin on the road just now, and he said that you don't like this kind of milk, so let's help you drink some!"

My aunt was so angry that she twitched the corners of her mouth, and said politely: "Where is it, you can drink it when you buy it!"

Mulan smiled and said, "Auntie, I heard that your family is going to buy a house in the county? My uncle is really capable."

My aunt suddenly became proud: "Isn't it? Your little uncle doesn't think he is honest, but he is really good at making money. We like that house. It is spacious and bright. It is much newer and cleaner than your place. The location is also good. We are going to open a tofu shop." The shop sells tofu."

Mulan went along with her and praised her a few words, and then asked: "Such a good house, I'm afraid it's not cheap!"

"It's definitely not cheap. It costs tens of thousands. If it weren't for your uncle's friendship with others, we wouldn't be able to buy it. We are not like you. If we want to buy it, we must buy a better one, that kind of small and old house. It’s better not to buy than to buy.”

Listening to her saying that her house is good and Mulan's house is bad, Mu's mother just felt uncomfortable, but she didn't think of going anywhere else, Mulan suddenly said with a bitter face: "Auntie, in fact, there is nothing we can do. I just came here to look for you. You know that our family only knows how to plan food in the soil. How can there be a little uncle who can make money? He owes a whole body of debts to buy that small house. I spend money everywhere when I study in the city. A few days ago, my dad’s leg hurts again, and after going to the hospital for an examination, he found out that the leg injury has not been cured, and if it needs to be treated, it may not cost tens of thousands of dollars.”

Mu Ma was puzzled: "Where is your father..." Before she finished speaking, Mulan stopped her with a look.

"Little uncle is capable, I believe that this ten thousand yuan is nothing in the eyes of my aunt, can you lend it to us first, so that we can get through this difficulty, and when my dad's leg is cured, I will definitely make money later Return it to you as soon as possible." Mulan pretended to sob, "If my father's leg can't be healed, how can our family live this day!"

My aunt changed her face: "Mulan, I didn't mean you, you are a girl, why do you study so many books, and you don't want to marry in the future, why don't you come back and help the family before you get married? If you don’t live, it’s not in vain for your parents to support you.”

"Auntie, can you really not lend us this money?"

"It's not that I don't want to borrow. You know, we just planned to buy a house in the county, and then we need to decorate and buy furniture. Everything is money, and I can't get it out!"

"Okay then! Since you don't want to borrow it, then you can always return the money our family lent to my cousin to treat his eyes last time!" Mulan went around such a big circle, and finally got to the point.

My aunt finally saw how powerful Mulan was, and knew that she was in the wrong, and she couldn't justify Mulan's reasoning, so she simply cheated and said to Mu's mother, "Second sister, you can't be like this, we made it clear when we borrowed money." Wait until your brother-in-law earns money in the past two years before paying it back, how can you ask someone to pay it back if you haven't had it for a month now?"

"Here, don't you guys have money!" Mu Ma said it as if she was right, and she didn't dare to speak louder.

But Mulan is not afraid of her: "Auntie, it's not right for you to say that. Our family is in urgent need. Your house is more important than my dad's legs. Besides, we are not asking you for money, but taking it back that belongs to our family. As for your own money, even if you refuse to pay it back like this, you feel your heart and ask your conscience, is it a loss or not?"
