For rural people, weddings and funerals are undoubtedly big things. Although there is no specific statistics, Mu Zhengfeng knows that the funeral that lasted for three days was over 10,000 yuan, which is not considered a big deal!

Although Mu Zhengfeng had no direct elders in the village, the old man had a little prestige in the village during his lifetime. The villagers helped him to organize and arrange his affairs after his death, which made the old man feel safe.

However, in addition to the money spent on funerals that the villagers took the initiative to borrow, several village cadres also paid for it. Logically speaking, as long as Mu Zhengfeng recognizes this account, these borrowers should give Mu Zhengfeng some time to raise money.

Just after breakfast, Mu Zhengfeng looked at the village chief who was visiting the door and said respectfully: "Fifth Master, you are here."

"Yeah, have you eaten?"

"Eat, are you always?"

"I have something to discuss with you brothers. Logically speaking, this matter should be delayed for a few days. But as for your family, some things should be prepared early. In the near future, you will start school, right?"

"Well, Master Wu said nothing. Although I am still young, I am now in charge."

Mu Zhengfeng still respects the village chief who helped him a lot and the elder who was the same generation as the old man. Even if he knew in his heart what was the reason for the village chief coming to his house.

Unfortunately, he, who was confused in his previous life, would not make the same mistake again in this life!

He found the remaining cigarettes for the funeral and handed them one to the village chief Mu Dingcheng. Mu Zhengfeng, who was sitting opposite him, was still very calm. On the contrary, the younger brothers and sisters seemed a little curious and at a loss.

Mu Dingcheng, who took the cigarette, looked at Mu Zhengfeng deeply, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "This is the money the village paid for you, you can take a look. Some of the money was provided by several of our village cadres, and some were borrowed by the villagers."

After taking the note from the old man, Mu Zhengfeng looked carefully and said readily: "Fifth Master, thank you! I recognize the money I borrowed. It's just that there is so much money. You have to give me some time. I promise to pay it back before the end of the year."

As soon as these words were said, Mu Dingcheng was stunned and said, "Xiaofeng, what nonsense are you talking about? You are a study kid, how can you pay the money you get?"

"It is natural to borrow money to repay the money! The gifts I received this time are more than 3,000 yuan. I will give you three thousand yuan later. I will pay back what Uncle Minggen and others first! I will find a way to pay back the rest of the money that owed to the village as soon as possible."

Mu Dingcheng, who originally wanted to say something, heard what Mu Zhengfeng said, hesitated for a while before saying, "Do you know? Don't think about it. This matter will be beneficial to you three, right?"

"Fifth Master, I know you always think about my three brothers and sisters, but I am already an adult, and my grandfather has left. I am the leader of this family. If my brothers and sisters are willing to read, I will find a way for them to continue reading."

"What about you? I heard that you have good grades. It would be a pity if you give up on high school!"

"What a pity! When Grandpa left, I promised Grandpa that he would take good care of the family. As long as we brothers and sisters are together, it would be nothing more poor or hard. At least, we are still a family!"

"Xiaofeng, have you really thought about it? When we came earlier, we talked to Minggen that as long as you agree, he is willing to repay the remaining money for you. Even if you three want to study, he is willing to offer it to you."

"Fifth Master, thank Uncle Minggen for me. Although we are all handed down by the same grandfather, I will never agree to some things. I can still make money for my younger brothers and sisters to study."

"Okay! Alas, why are you so stubborn? You are all grandparents, so what's the difficulty?"

As a result, Mu Zhengfeng said firmly: "Fifth Master, Dad is gone, Grandpa has pulled us three to this day. Now Grandpa has left, as their elder brother, I should also take care of this family.

I can't care about other people's thoughts. But this is my family's business, and I will not agree no matter what. Why didn't you tell him when Grandpa was alive? Do you think Grandpa would agree to this kind of thing?

Besides, I am already sixteen years old, and Ayan and Xiaoxuan are both older, so I don’t have to worry too much. No matter how poor I am, I won’t be too poor to beg for food, right? As long as I give them up, I believe that our three brothers and sisters will sooner or later come forward!”

No matter how poor you are, you can only beg for food, and you will eventually stand out if you die!

Seeing that Mu Zhengfeng was talking about this, Mu Dingcheng didn't say much. He took the three thousand dollars he had counted by his younger sister and wrote a receipt for Mu Zhengfeng, and then sighed and shook his head and left.

When the old man left, the younger brother said with a stern face: "Brother, you are not in high school anymore? How can that work? Grandpa still expects you to take the college entrance exam! The fifth master previously explained that Uncle Gen offered us to study, what does it mean?"

"It's not interesting! Remember, now I am in charge of the family, what you have to do is study hard for me, and the same goes for Xiaoxuan."

Just when Mu Zhengfeng said this and warned his younger brother and sister, his younger sister Mu Xuan suddenly said, "Brother, does Uncle Minggen want his second brother to be his son? I heard from Sister Xin that her father was afraid that no one would attend the funeral when he was old, so he wanted to buy his second brother, right?"

"It's yours! Don't talk nonsense about this. If you want a son, will they not give birth to their own children? OK, this matter is over here, making money is mine. Reading is yours, remember?"

As a result, what Mu Zhengfeng did not expect was that Mu Zhengyan was suddenly angry when he heard this, but after a while he calmed down and said with difficulty: "Brother, why don't we agree! In that way, you can continue to study."

For children who grew up in rural areas, adopting people of the same clan as sons is not new. Compared with other adopting people of different surnames as sons, adopting people of the same clan at least doesn’t have to change their surnames!

But to the surprise of the younger brother and sister, Mu Zhengfeng suddenly reached out and prepared to slap Mu Zhengyan a big mouth. He just waved his palm and stopped suddenly when he was about to approach his face.

Mu Zhengfeng, who had a gentle attitude before, said angrily at this moment: "Mu Zhengyan, if you dare to say this again next time, I will definitely beat you to pieces. Unless I die, I will never agree to this matter."

Perhaps it was Mu Zhengfeng's firm attitude that shocked both his younger brother and sister, but he understood that there was nothing to talk about. But the two little guys didn't know that Mu Zhengfeng agreed to this matter in his previous life, but he made his younger brother go on a path of no return.

At the beginning, the three siblings were indeed quite taken care of by each other. Unfortunately, in less than a year, the other party refused to pay for Mu Zhengfeng's study, but asked Mu Zhengfeng to drop out of school and go outside to work, saying that he had poor grades and could not go to college.

Later, the villagers helped and asked someone to find connections. They sent Mu Zhengfeng, who was really unwilling to study, to join the army. But no one expected that when Mu Zhengfeng took a vacation and returned to his hometown, they learned that there were misfortunes happening to his younger brother and sister.

Who would have thought that Mu Minggen, who already has three daughters, suddenly became old aged a few years later. With his own son, how could Mu Zhengyan, the adopted son, continue to be valued?

What is even more unexpected is that Mu Minggen repents and no longer recognizes Mu Zhengyan, the adopted son. What’s even more shameless is that he also asked his three siblings for money to support them in recent years for studying, eating and drinking.

In the end, Mu Zhengyan also chose to drop out of school and go to other places. Her sister Mu Xuan, who had not even finished junior high school, even dropped out of school early and went to work in other places. In the end, she even lost contact with her. She had a good family and completely broke up.
