Chapter 9 Gossip in the Village
For the villagers in Mujiazhai, they knew the situation at Mu Zhengfeng's family very well. But what they didn't expect was that the three Mu sisters who went out in the morning carried a lot of shopping bags when they returned to the village in the afternoon.
Seeing this scene, many villagers were surprised and said, "Well, these kids have entered the city?"
"Looking at the bags in their hands, they seem to have bought a lot of things! It's not possible without an adult. A bunch of children are not too busy to spend money. Oh, after spending the money, these three kids are afraid they won't be able to eat."
Although the villagers were talking behind their backs, for Mu Zhengfeng, he would not be able to explain anything even if he heard it. Compared with other villages, Mujia Village has a population of only about 200 people, but there is no harmony among the villagers.
Usually, you can hear the women in the village shouting and scolding in the village because of trivial matters. Those old people who like to gossip always like to gather together to talk about other people’s family affairs. It is normal to discuss right and wrong behind the scenes and make people disgusted!
Perhaps it is because of the village that this kind of old man is always indispensable. In Mu Zhengfeng's memory, the village is not as united as other villages. Some families who seem to be related by blood eventually become enemies who never interact with each other.
In addition, the villagers seem to like to compete. Whoever is rich will always become the object of praise from others. On the contrary, whoever is in a downturn will also become the object of ridicule from others.
In addition, Grandpa Mu Zhengfeng has only one son and no brothers and sisters. This will undoubtedly become the target of bullying in the countryside. If Grandpa Mu Zhengfeng had not been famous, I was afraid that the three brothers and sisters would not have known how much bullying they would have!
In such an environment, it would be impossible to say that Mu Zhengfeng has no resentment. In his previous life, because of his younger brother's affairs, Mu Zhengfeng basically turned against the elders in the village. Since then, he has never returned to Mujia Village.
In this life, Mu Zhengfeng wanted to move outside the village to live, and more so he wanted to be quiet. Perhaps doing so would make the villagers feel that he was indifferent. But in Mu Zhengfeng's opinion, he only cared about his younger brothers and sisters in this life, and no one else mattered.
What surprised Mu Zhengfeng was that shortly after the three siblings returned home, the village chief Mu Dingcheng came over again and said with a slightly complaining expression: "Xiaofeng, have you three gone to the city before?"
"Yes! What's wrong? The three brothers and sisters will not get in the way of others when they enter the city, right?"
"That won't be! But the uncle wants to warn you that family is not like this. After a while, Xiaoyan and Xiaoxuan will go to school. Are you ready for the tuition? Don't ask others to borrow it. Do you understand what I mean?"
All right!
After hearing this, Mu Zhengfeng understood the purpose of the village chief. He thought he was spending money. If he was right, the three brothers and sisters came back to get a lot of bags, which would probably be seen by the villagers again.
Although he found it a bit ridiculous, Mu Zhengfeng could still understand the old man's worries. He didn't explain anything and said happily: "Fifth Master, I remember your words. Don't worry, I can live in this family!"
Just when Mu Dingcheng was still preparing to persuade him, Mu Zhengfeng was very direct and took out a thousand yuan and continued: "Fifth Master, this is one thousand yuan. Look at whoever is in a hurry to use it, so I will return the money to him. I will definitely pay back the rest before the end of the year."
Seeing the money handed to Mu Zhengfeng, Mu Dingcheng was stunned and said, "Where did you come?"
"I made money! I went to the town yesterday to buy some turtle hooks, and I was lucky to catch two in the morning. Today I took Xiaoyan into the city and sold turtles. For the extra money, I bought them two clothes. Isn't school going to start soon?"
Logically speaking, no one can control the money he earns. The problem is that the old man in front of him is also kind, afraid that he will not know how to be frugal and will lose all his money. When the family needs to spend money, they can't afford it.
Mu Zhengfeng originally didn't want to pay back this thousand yuan so early. But in order to block the old man or the other people in the village, he chose to pay back one thousand first. If the remaining money is not paid, he naturally has his intention.
"Ah! That's it! OK, this money is just returned to you Uncle A Shuan. His family is not rich. Xiaofeng, don't blame the fifth master for being nagging. I'm also worried that you don't understand the preciousness of money. Even if you can make money, you must know how to be frugal. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, I get it!"
The village chief who came and left hurriedly. Mu Zhengyan, who was also standing next to him, said angrily: "Brother, why don't you pay back the remaining money? What qualifications do they have to point fingers in our family?"
"Okay, the fifth master is not malicious either. I have my own opinions on repaying the money. Why are you doing so much? Hurry up and take a hoe and dig some earthworms back. After that, we will go fishing by the river and get the hook. Remember to change your clothes!"
"Oh, I got it!"
Although Mu Zhengyan, who was trained, did not understand why his elder brother did this, he still chose to believe it. He just lost the backer of Grandpa, and both brothers and sisters seemed confused and helpless, and even worried about their future.
Now Mu Zhengfeng has become mature and has begun to support this family and become their support. This has also given them great confidence, thinking that even if there are only three brothers and sisters left in the family, I believe that life will be getting better and better.
When the three siblings changed their clothes and appeared in the village again, the villagers who were gossiping before looked a little ugly. Especially the villagers who were gossiping and gossiping were scolded by Mu Dingcheng a few words.
Until the three brothers and sisters disappeared from sight, the villagers began to discuss again: "I didn't expect that the Fengwazi of the Third Master's family seemed to have changed. But this luck is really good!"
"Who said no! Look at the place they went, it should be to Jinsha River? Is there turtles again?"
"No one has been going to put hooks in the past two years, maybe there are really. Let me tell you later and try putting a few hooks. I heard that if this wild turtle is sent to the city, a large pound can be sold for hundreds of dollars!"
If Mu Zhengfeng heard these people's comments, he might feel that he had guessed it right. Once the villagers know about the fact that he was fishing for turtles in Jinsha River, he believed that other people in the village would follow the trend.
Fortunately, when he came back from the city this time, Mu Zhengfeng had already thought that he would not come again if he put it on the Jinsha River again. And next time he chose to put the hook, I believe that many people in the village may not dare to go, or may not be willing to go.
But for Mu Zhengfeng, in order to seize the opportunity before the turtle starts to start cat winter, he must seize this opportunity to catch more. As for the place where he will go to the hook next, even if his younger brother and sister will not take him with him.
Because it came out earlier than yesterday, Mu Zhengfeng chose to go upstream. The higher the flow, the more steep and obstructed the river channel. But the more this kind of river section, the more likely it is to hide the turtle.
For children who grow up in rural areas, there will naturally be no problem when drilling into bushes or ditches. If you find a suitable river section, the three brothers and sisters will also start to get the hook. After putting the hook, they will start fishing and passing the time just like yesterday.
What made the brother and sister happy was that the result of collecting the hook before leaving was still very good. Even Mu Zhengyan said excitedly: "Brother, you come to collect the hook tomorrow morning, remember to call me. Then I will come with you."
"Forget it, the dew is heavy in the morning, so you should stay at home to make breakfast with Xiaoxuan. If we come here tomorrow, we will probably be occupied by others. Next time we put the hook, I'm afraid I'll go to other places."
"You mean, someone robs our territory?"
Looking at his younger brother with an angry expression, Mu Zhengfeng slapped the other person in the head and cursed with a smile: "What is our territory? Is this river our family's? Do you not know what kind of virtues the villagers are?"
