Chapter 17 Borrowing Money Again
After arriving at the county town, there is only one bus from Zhenping County to Yingwu Township. It leaves in the morning and goes back in the evening. If you can't catch up, you either stay in the county for one night or walk back by yourself.
Mushui happened to happen just now and didn't catch the last bus. He was anxious and unwilling to waste time. Moreover, staying in the county town for a night was not cheap, so he walked towards the village along the bumpy mud road.
It was more than 30 kilometers from Zhenping County to Yingwu Township. Mushui walked for 6 hours at night before rushing back to the village. It was already early morning when he got home.
Mushui pushed open the fenced door around the yard, wandered outside Liu Yaomei's door for a while, and finally plucked up the courage to knock on the door.
The knock on the door seemed particularly rapid on the quiet night.
"Who?" Liu Yaomei's voice sounded.
"Mom, it's me." Mu Shui replied with a hard forehead.
When Liu Yaomei heard that Mushui had returned, she immediately lost her sleepiness. She jumped out of bed, opened the door and started scolding.
"You dead guy, you still have the face to come back."
Liu Yaomei's sharp voice also alarmed the others living in the yard. In just a while, Mu Gen Musheng and his wife, and Mu Zhi, all came out of their rooms and surrounded them in the yard.
"Oh, it turns out that Mushui is back. I thought you wouldn't go back to this house anymore." Mugen still resented Mushui confronted him in front of others a few days ago, so he spoke sarcastically.
"Hey, Uncle Second, I heard you have gone to the provincial capital? How great is the provincial capital? Why are you coming back?" Liu Yumei also sang and reunited with her man.
After Wang Damin came back that day, he reported to Chen Xiangyang about Mushui's family's condition in the hospital. The villagers around him heard it, and it spread to ten times. In a blink of an eye, the whole village knew that Mushui took his newborn daughter to the provincial capital for medical treatment.
In this era of boyishness over girls, there are basically no one who is willing to spend so much energy and financial resources on a baby, so some people even joked to Liu Yaomei, saying that her family is going to raise a golden lump.
After hearing the words of her eldest son and daughter-in-law, the anger accumulated in her heart over the past few days suddenly came up again, but Mushui's words below almost fainted with pain.
"Mom, please lend me some money!" Mushui lowered his head and said that he borrowed money, he jumped out of his mouth word by word.
"Uncle II? Didn't you borrowed 200 yuan from the village to leave? You've only been out of money in two days??" Wang Guiying asked in surprise.
Mushui lightly tapped his chin with some difficulty...
"Two hundred yuan will be gone in two days?" My God, my life is so miserable. My son has used so much money to waste it. He doesn't say that he buys some meat for his mother to eat and buys new clothes to wear. This is going to be struck by lightning!" When Liu Yaomei heard this, she felt like a knife was cutting her heart, and she couldn't breathe even if she hurt.
Not only did she feel pain, but Mu Genmusheng and his wife were also heartbroken.
"Mom, Xiaocao's doctor can cure her patients. You can make money after you lose money. As long as people can cure it." Mushui quickly told everyone the good news that Mu Xiaocao can cure it.
Unfortunately, this is not good news in the eyes of others.
"Bah, you still have a name? You have been wasting so much money at birth. Why don't you die? If you have no money, why are you still alive?" Liu Yaomei's mind is full of things that have lost 200 yuan, and she cursed in anger.
"Mom, please!" Mushui said, and knelt down for Liu Yaomei again.
"No money, no money, no penny!" After Liu Yaomei finished speaking, she turned around and entered the room, closing the door hard.
Liu Yumei and Wang Guiying also pulled their men's clothes one after another, and then went back to their house, leaving Mushui alone kneeling on the ground silently.
Before Mushui knew it, tears were already covered in his face, so he shouldn't have come back... When Mushui was discouraged, he suddenly felt someone gently pulling him behind him.
"Brother, get up, no one cares about this matter." Mu Zhi looked at Mu Shui's face full of tears, and she said with a complicated expression.
"Muzhi, you are back." Mushui stood up, wiped his tears with his hands, and looked at the youngest sister in the family helplessly.
Although Muzhi is a daughter, her status in this family is higher than that of Mushui, her son. She was influenced by the educated youth who were sent to Yingwu Village and her style of conduct was different from other women in the village.
Others in the village got married and had children early, but she had been unable to make it to the top and bottom. She ran to the county town every few days, stayed in the county town for a few days, worked in the village for a few days, and worked in the village for two days, and had fished for two days. If she hadn't relied on wooden water to help her earn work points, she wouldn't have had such leisure time.
Muzhi said that she helped people work in the county town and gave Liu Yaomei 5 yuan a month. Liu Yaomei turned a blind eye to Muzhi's behavior and followed her everything.
"Brother, I don't have much money either. This is 100 yuan. I have all my savings. Take it and save my little niece first." Muzhi pulled Mushui to the door of the fence, stuffed a hundred-dollar bill to Mushui, and said quietly.
Muzhi came back yesterday and also learned about what happened to Mushui's house.
"Muzhi, where did you get so much money?" Mushui was a little shocked for a moment.
"It's all the dowry I saved, you can use it first." Muzhi replied impatiently.
"Brother will definitely give it back to you in the future. Thank you, Muzhi."
"You go to the hospital quickly and let's talk about what's going on in the future."
"Okay, I'll pack up and leave." Mushui held the 100 yuan and carefully put it in his pants pocket. He returned to his house, changed into a slightly neat piece of clothing, brought Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiu two more clothes to change clothes, and left.
Muzhi looked at Mushui's back, sighed softly, and turned back to her room.
Mushui walked to the entrance of the village and thought that one hundred yuan was still not enough. He gritted his teeth and turned around and guarded the door of the village party secretary Chen Xiangyang's house.
At this time, a trace of whiteness gradually appeared in the horizon. Chen Xiangyang's mother and Grandma Li got up first to clean the yard. As soon as Grandma Li opened the door, she saw Mushui standing at the door.
"Hey, Mushui, have you gone to the provincial capital? Where is Shui Lian and the others? How are the children?" Grandma Li said as she looked behind Mushui.
"Aunt Li, the doctors in the provincial capital said they could be treated. They are still in the hospital in the provincial capital... I... I have something to do with the village party secretary." Mushui said, his voice getting smaller and smaller.
"Okay, I'll go and call him up." After Grandma Li said that, she walked to a room and knocked on it, "Xiangyang, have you gotten up?"
