Mu Jinzhi didn"t want it at all, so he pulled on his sleeves and said, "Brother, just take it!" Mu Rousang saw that Yang Zixuan did not seem to come out from a well-off family, she did not want to cause any more trouble.Seeing that his sister had agreed, Mu Jinzhi was confused, he suppressed the thoughts in his heart and thanked Young Master Yang.
Yang Zixuan smiled and said, "There"s no need to be so polite, Jin"zhi. This is my fault in the first place, I"ll only be at ease if you accept me."
He then asked, "If you guys need anything else the next time, come to the bookstore and find me. I"ll give you guys a discount."
The siblings naturally thanked him. Regardless of the character of the person in front of them, it was still very comfortable to look down on him.
Mu Jinzhi thought for a while before deciding, "Big brother Yang, if you have time in the future, why not come visit our little mountain village. The mushrooms over there, the small dishes are delicious, and the water is also very sweet." Yang Zixuan nodded and smiled in agreement.
As Yang Zixuan watched the two leave, one of his followers finally asked, "Young master, I don"t understand why you …"
Yang Zixuan turned his head and patted his errand boy"s shoulder, "Xiao Tong, do you understand?"
Behind him, the errand boy named Xiao Tong nodded, "Yes, Young Master, with your status, what can we do … "But it is also much more expensive than those country b.u.mpkins, why is it that …"
The corner of Yang Zixuan"s mouth curled up, a shrewdness that didn"t match his age appearing in his eyes, "That"s why I"m the young master, and you"re the bookkeeper." With that said, he left Xiao Tong who was still at a loss at the door and went into the bookstore by himself.
At this time, Mu Jinzhi rushed the little donkey cart and asked Mu Rousang, "Little sister, we aren"t close with big brother Yang, why do we need to accept this gift?" He still didn"t understand that in his heart, his own sister was definitely not someone who was greedy for wealth!
Mu Rousang could only sigh in her heart as she trained Steamed Bun Invasion in the long run, "Bro, have you thought about what would happen if we reject your offer again?" She was still the brother that patiently guided this life.
Mu Jinzhi paused, that"s right, why didn"t he think about it, that Big brother Yang doesn"t look like an ordinary family"s young master, "Little sister, I"m afraid Big brother Yang was born in Wealthy families."
Mu Rousang saw that he had thought it through, and then continued to a.n.a.lyze, "Even if it"s the Wealthy families who does not care about this little bit of silver, we are just ordinary people. If you make him unhappy because of someone else"s face, who knows what the result will be?
Hearing this, Mu Jinzhi thought it through. If he could befriend such a person, would he be able to protect his sister better? Thinking of this, Mu Jinzhi"s heart was filled with pa.s.sion, hoping that Big Brother Yang would have the time to come visit his house.
From then on, the two siblings" days gradually improved, and Mu Rousang began to live a leisurely life in the village.
Spring left and autumn came, and the two fat pigs in the pigsty were replaced with five little pigs. The granary in the house was also filled with dazzling golden corn grains, and with Mu Rousang doing some embroidery work from time to time, the little Peach Blossom friend with the twinkling stars also came to visit from time to time.
It was rare for Mu Jinzhi to have a good rest and to be able to live for half a day. The brother and sister pair sat in front of the writing desk quietly as they wrote. Mu Jinzhi was copying the《 Brother"s Rules》, in Mu Rousang"s hands was a good book.
She was satisfied with her brush as she added the last stroke. The little abacus on her left side began to move with a crackling sound. The cheerful sound of the abacus beads echoed in the room, breaking the previous silence. "Brother, our progress this year was not bad." There was joy in the crisp voice.
Mu Jinzhi put down the brush in his hands disapprovingly, "Little sister, I only took about an acre of corn, how much silver can we have left in our family after selling the two pigs?" Although he went to study early every day, he could calculate the number of benefits his family had. He was just worried that his own little sister would suffer.
His words did not affect Mu Rousang"s good mood at all. He picked up the Accounts and read: "This year, the harvest of the family"s corn was only about one season, and the soybean was about one hundred and fifty kilograms. The two pigs sold each for six taels of silver. "And the embroidery I did, I earned about 5 taels of silver a month. It"s already November now, so I"ve earned around 40 taels from back to forth. Some of the money I"ve earned is even good for the family." He pulled out the abacus again. This year"s income was not bad at all, around forty-seven taels of silver.
Mu Rousang had done well in embroidering the egg, but she hadn"t embroidered that much, as she had to rely entirely on selling some food in the spatial s.p.a.ce. Furthermore, she would take advantage of Mu Jinzhi"s absence to throw half of the chicken into the spatial s.p.a.ce to lay eggs, which was why the egg could only be sold for four taels of silver.
Mu Jinzhi looked at her with a pained heart, "Little sister, you still have to cherish your eyes in the future. Today, your family can be considered to have some money, so after eating and drinking, you should do less embroidery." The more he said this, the more he felt that he had to carry this small house on his shoulders as soon as possible.
Mu Rousang was very touched, but she did not make too much out of her embroidery work.
She heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Luckily Mu Jinzhi didn"t ask where the pig food came from, "Brother, don"t worry, this autumn there will be more chickens in my house. Also, I will need to take care of those five pigs. She did not want Mu Jinzhi to listen to his and only read the book.
After saying all this, she felt that she had to buy some from the village. Now that she had raised five pigs, it would be impossible for her to raise them by herself.
Seeing Mu Rousang, who was only five years old, taking care of the affairs of the house neatly, Mu Jinzhi"s nose started to feel sour. "Little sister, it"s been hard on you this year!"
Only then did Mu Rousang realize that there was a trace of sadness on his face. "Big bro, don"t say it like that, it"s only right for us to support each other if our parents aren"t here."
Looking at his sister who was grabbing onto Abacus, Mu Jinzhi made up his mind that he would definitely send someone to protect his sister.
"Brother, there isn"t much firewood left at home." Even if Mu Rousang had s.p.a.ce, she could not add something to the household in such an obvious manner.
Mu Jinzhi tidied up the words on the table and chatted with her, "Sister is right, tomorrow we will go up the mountain and chop some firewood. It will snow in a month, and we need to prepare more to burn the kang at home." The poverty of his family had matured him prematurely, and he intended to use Musiu to prepare some winter firewood for his family.
"En, alright brother, how about tomorrow? Let"s take a look and see if there are any fruit trees we can dig up." Mu Rousang had been here for so long, yet she had not eaten any fruits. Firstly, there were very few fruits to sell in the town, and secondly, she did not have many opportunities to go out after Mu Jinzhi.
As long as she likes it, Mu Jinzhi would be willing to do it, "Alright, let"s bring some rations up the mountain tomorrow."
Actually, Mu Rousang had her own selfish motives. The two of them were still young and she was not willing to see Mu Jinzhi work hard. She wanted to change the area where the corn grew into a forest so that she wouldn"t have to worry about not earning money. This was also her greatest reliance.
Just as the two siblings were discussing their plans for tomorrow, they heard a burst of knocking sounds. Who was so uncultured, Mu Rousang was unhappy.
"Who is it?" Mu Jinzhi stopped Mu Rousang who was about to open the door.
"Open the door! Quickly open the door! Where the h.e.l.l are the people?!" thought that it was familiar, but he could not recall where he had heard it before.
"Brother, who could it be?" It wasn"t easy for her to live a peaceful life, and she didn"t want to be ruined. From the sound of the door being kicked, she knew that it wasn"t a good idea.
"Hai, it"s my cousin. Let"s go open the door and take a look!" Even if their relationship was not good, he would still have to open the door and welcome them out.
Mu Fenge was impatiently kicking at the gate, when she heard someone open it and stopped in her tracks. This spring, she had been scared stiff and didn"t dare to come here. She didn"t even dare to go out alone at night. Even though it was daytime, she could feel the chilly wind blowing past her.
"Cousin, why are you here!" Mu Jinzhi opened the door to the courtyard. Even if he hated his, he still acted like a humble gentleman on the outside.
"I say, Jinzhi, why are you closing your courtyard door in broad daylight?" Could it be that there is something shameful at home? " Mu Fenge immediately used his hand to pinch her chest. Was it really worth it for her to come over to this place with these two broken children.
"What"s wrong with my elder sister if we can"t open the gate during the day?" We are just guarding against those cats and dogs from coming to our house to wander around. " Mu Rousang was very annoyed the moment she saw Mu Fenge, as she coldly spoke out from behind Mu Jinzhi.
Mu Fenge was tongue-tied for words, and he didn"t even understand her ridicule. Seeing that she still dared to talk back, she immediately scolded her crazily. "How can you be so shameless? You have a mother and no son, you despicable b.a.s.t.a.r.d! No one came to open the door after shouting for half a day!? Your ears are stuffed with sh * t!"
Mu Jinzhi did not answer her, but instead asked: "Elder cousin, what business do you have here? Furthermore, my sister is not a s.l.u.t, do not forget that an older cousin cannot write the word "wood". Mu Rousang gave her a big thumbs up, calling her a lowly b.a.s.t.a.r.d. But Mu Fenge was her older cousin, didn"t they even bring her their ancestors?
"Hmph, is this the att.i.tude you should have?" Mu Fenge was a few years older than Mu Jinzhi, and was taller than him by a head. Mu Fenge, who couldn"t win against him, angrily reached out his hands and pushed Mu Jinzhi away, knocking him against the door of the courtyard.
Mu Jinzhi didn"t bother to stop Mu Fenge as he hurried to support Mu Rousang, "Little sister, does it hurt?"
Mu Rousang shook her head. Fortunately, autumn had come so quickly so she had to put on more clothes. "Brother, let"s go in first!" She didn"t know what this cousin of her was up to either.
Mu Fenge remembered Young"s"s instructions, he wanted her to clearly see how much money Mu Rousang"s family had earned. Hmph, did she think that just by blocking her at the door, she would not be able to enter? A little finger could jab a wild child who had no mother to teach him.
Brother and sister followed behind with an ashen face. Although Mu Fenge was a little r.e.t.a.r.ded, she still had to do what her parents told her to.
He looked around with his triangular eyes. The house was still the mud house from before, there was an extra donkey, and the right side was just a field. The crops had been harvested, but the soybean stalks were still scattered everywhere, making the yard a little messy.
Mu Fenge was satisfied after looking at it for a while. Hmph, looks like her parents thought too much into it, don"t have any abilities, it might as well be her family! It was also the reason why Mu Fenge was so angry when the two siblings opened the door.
You said that once her parents died, the two little brats would dress better than her. Wouldn"t that make her angry?
"The aunt is back. She wants you all to go see her!" With that, he arrogantly left.
Mu Rousang was very unwilling to go to Mu Fenge"s house, "Brother, can we not go?"
Mu Jinzhi touched her little head. Compared to the previous year, when he was like a little sister, the current Mu Rousang was as cute as carved jade.
"Little sister, although our family has been separated from uncle"s and aunt is a married woman, the broken bones still have tendons!"
As a modern genuine core, Mu Rousang did not understand what he meant.
Mu Jinzhi could only tell her what he heard from the Liu Xiucai. No matter where he went, if there wasn"t a clan that shared the same temperament, then this person would have no roots. Even his Graduation would be looked down upon by others and anyone could step on him.
Mu Rousang hated this evil old society with all her heart. She really, really, really didn"t want to go to her uncle"s house, that whatever aunt of hers did not seem like someone easy to deal with. She had been here for more than half a year but she had never heard of a Cheap Great Sisters.
She felt that something was wrong, "Big brother, why haven"t I heard you mention it before?"
He lowered his head slightly, his long eyelashes obscuring the shadow. "Little sister doesn"t know. In the past, when Father was still alive, Eldest Aunt would often bring Second Cousin to marry him. I remember that she would often tell my father that she wanted to marry him, but Mother always considered it as me being too young to marry him."
