Chapter 138 Mo Family Matters

Mo Kuizi didn’t speak, but nodded.

Zhang's heart finally dropped, and she was so happy that she almost screamed out, but she was afraid that Mr. Mo would hear it, so she suppressed the joy that she was about to shout out.

After a while, he said again: "Head of the family, I know what you are thinking. I think that the Mo family should become a rope so as not to be bullied. But my uncle's family... I don't want to live with my uncle's family, but I feel sorry for him." child."

Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears and said, "Of our four children, only Brother Ming and Sister Qin are left now. I don't want to wrong them anymore, and I want them to live a better life."

When they first fled famine, there were seven members of their family. By the time they arrived in Dafeng Village, the mother and two children were dead, leaving only the couple and their two children.

Mo Kuizi felt uncomfortable when he thought of Sister Qin and Brother Ming. The two children were often so hungry that they complained of stomachache.

Moreover, the old uncle's family is overbearing. There are five rooms in this courtyard, and their family of four only has one. Sister Qin is already thirteen years old, and it is too ugly to squeeze in with them.

The old uncle also wants to sell Chunyue to the Lu family to be a housemaid. If he really sells it, his sister Qin's reputation will also be affected, so it is better to move away.

"Stop crying, our family will just have to endure it and we will move out after the spring plowing." Mo Kuizi got up, drank a bowl of cold salt water to satisfy his hunger, took the **** placed behind the door, and said, "I'll go to the wasteland to have a look, let's With a little more effort, you can always live a better life."

"Master, you go after breakfast." Mrs. Zhang chased her out. If he didn't have breakfast, the old aunt wouldn't let him stay. Mo Kuizi, however, left without looking back.

 Zhang had no choice but to go to the kitchen and cook with Dayong's wife, thinking that she could occupy Mo Kuizi's breakfast to prevent Mo Kuizi from going hungry.

 But Mr. Zhang had never won a prize before. For breakfast, he made boiled soybean soup and fifteen sweet potatoes.

As soon as it was done, Mrs. Mo took the time to come to the kitchen.

Mrs. Mo took two wooden bowls, filled a bowl of soybean soup, took two sweet potatoes and put them in another wooden bowl, handed them to Zhang, and said with a smile: "My nephew and wife, this is your breakfast." , take it and eat it with the children, Auntie has guests here, so we won’t eat together today."

With that said, Mrs. Zhang didn’t care. She carried the bamboo basket with thirteen sweet potatoes, and Dayong’s wife carried the pot of soybean soup to the main room.

Mrs. Zhang was trembling with anger, but she didn't dare to get angry. She just kept shedding tears. Her family also paid for the soybeans and sweet potatoes. Sister Qin and Brother Ming went to find the firewood for cooking. How did they get it? When eating, her family only got a bowl of soybean soup and two sweet potatoes?

They are poor and do not eat lunch. They only eat breakfast and dinner. After eating the breakfast, they have to wait until dark before eating the dinner. This is deliberately starving people to death.

Mrs. Mo didn't care how aggrieved Mrs. Zhang felt. She was holding a sweet potato and handed it to the eldest daughter-in-law Shuan, smiling and saying: "Poor people don't have anything delicious for breakfast. My nephew's daughter-in-law will give me a favor and try these sweet potatoes." "

The eldest daughter-in-law Shuan is just a servant of the Lu family. She is a slave, and her status is far inferior to that of a good person. However, the Mo family now needs the eldest daughter-in-law Shuan, so they have to lower their status.

The eldest daughter-in-law Shuan was used to picking on Qiao. She knew that the Mo family wanted something from her, so she put up a shelf and did not pick up the sweet potatoes. Instead, she glanced at the pot of soybean soup and the basketful of sweet potatoes, and said in a disdainful tone: "Your own family Eat, these things are used to feed pigs in the Lu family."

Mrs. Mo and the two daughters-in-law of the Mo family were ashamed after hearing this, but they could not get angry.

Mr. Mo was having breakfast in the back room. When he heard this, he almost smashed his bowl. He was just a slave to his wife, but she was just a servant. Why is she so arrogant? When his granddaughter becomes the concubine of the Lu family, she will feel better!

Also, do you think the Lu family is very good? If the Mo family could get into a more powerful family, would they like the Lu family?

Mr. Mo is a bully, so he can only sulk in the house and does not dare to go out and drive away his wife Shuan.

When Mrs. Mo saw that the eldest daughter-in-law Shuan was not eating, she did not dare to use her chopsticks. Instead, she continued to talk about the eldest granddaughter's entry into the Lu family: "Niece-in-law, do you think the matter of Chun Yue will be decided? We Chun Yue admire us. Third Master Lu is very good, and he has always wanted to enter the Lu family and serve Third Master Lu."

The eldest daughter-in-law Shuan said: "There are too many yellow-flowered girls who want to join the Lu family to serve the third master. We can't just have one of them for our Lu family."

"This..." Mrs. Mo was stunned: "Niece-in-law, what do you mean by this? Is it because Chun Yue entered the Lu family? That's not what you said some time ago."

Last month, after the eldest daughter-in-law Shuan saw the appearance of Chunyue, she personally came to beg them to sell Chunyue. How could she change in the blink of an eye?

The eldest daughter-in-law Shuan said: "It was no problem to enter the Lu family some time ago, but just two days ago, the county magistrate sent a message, saying that the third master can't go on like this, and he has to study again, and wait until next year to take the county examination to obtain merit. .”

 “Hey, the third master is going to take the merit examination, which is really big.” Dakui’s wife said in surprise, looking at Mrs. Mo, her eyes were full of light.

 The world respects scholars, and the county government is responsible for the county examination. With Zou County Cheng here, even if Lu Laosan is a bad guy, it is not a problem to pass the county examination.

Dakui’s wife can already see how Lu Laosan has passed the examination and the Mo family has become prosperous due to Chunyue.

Mrs. Mo understood and said hurriedly: "Niece-in-law, our Chunyue's favorite is a scholar. She and the Third Master are a perfect match. You have to help us with this matter. We must let our Chunyue join the Lu family."

The eldest daughter-in-law Shuan said: "Don't worry, aunt, Chunyue is a good person. I will definitely help her get into the Lu family. It's just that I don't have that much money from selling my body."

She glanced at Mrs. Mo and said, "We were talking about five taels of silver before, but now we can give you three taels at most."

Because the men of the Lu family have some bad hobbies, the Lu family pays eight taels of silver to the girl who sells her body to the eldest daughter-in-law. The lower the price is, the more the eldest daughter-in-law will earn.

 “Three taels!” Mrs. Mo almost jumped up: “Why are there so many less all at once?”

The eldest daughter-in-law Shuan said: "The third master wants to study with peace of mind. If he recruits the girls from the house at this time, wouldn't it ruin the third master's career? The county magistrate has personally spoken, asking the third master to concentrate on his studies and stop being surrounded by women." I'm rolling around here. I'm taking a risk to do something for your family. If you don't appreciate it, then I'll leave, so as not to get scolded for helping you, huh!"

The eldest daughter-in-law Shuan stood up and prepared to leave. The eldest daughter-in-law hurriedly held her back and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Shuan, we all know that you have troubled yourself about this matter. You sir, don't argue with us. My mother-in-law is also distressed." Granddaughter, now I feel that the price is too low.”

Shuan's eldest daughter-in-law sold her body for money just to get a piece of the pie for herself. She couldn't calm down easily, so she just took the opportunity to say: "Three taels of silver, if you agree, we should get married on the 22nd, and our Lu family will come to pick her up. If you don't want to, Forget it."

He then said, "You know what's going on with your eldest granddaughter. She's already had so much wealth, how can she marry into a good family?"
