Chapter 242 Who will pay for Lao Wu’s medical expenses?

"Dad, does Laowu want to fall down by himself?" Mu Jingzhou asked back unhappily.

Old Man Mu snorted: "You are still so careless even though you are in junior high school. Can't I say a few words to you?"

"Third brother, you know, we went through a lot of trouble because of your eldest brother. I was the one who paid for your eldest sister-in-law's childbirth..."

"That's enough!" Mu Jingzhou interrupted Old Lady Mu, his eyes unable to hide his disgust, "After all, you just don't want to pay."

Old Man Mu and Old Lady Mu looked at each other and remained silent.

"The second brother and I will go out, okay?" Mu Jingzhou said.

Mrs. Mu's wish came true, and she smiled quickly: "Old Five will remember the kindness of you and Old Two..."

"I don't want anyone to remember. Just one thing, after Lao Wu is discharged from the hospital, he should rest at home for three months, and no one should ask him to do anything." Mu Jingzhou said with a stern face.

Old Man Mu agreed quickly: "Of course! Lao Wu is your brother and my son!"

"No one in the family is allowed to use the fifth child." Mu Jingzhou turned his head and looked towards the main house.

Ever since Li Lan came into the family, she has relied on her status as the eldest sister-in-law to order the brothers around. The fifth brother is younger and easier to order around.

Li Lan heard it clearly, and quickly opened the door and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Third Brother! I have my mother to take care of me during the confinement period, so there is no need to order Fifth Brother around. Besides, he is still a child himself, how can he take care of a child?"

"I know my sister-in-law won't." Mu Jingzhou thought: No way! I'm just telling you.

"Well, when are you going back to the provincial capital?" Li Lan asked.

"Wait for another two days until Lao Wu's condition stabilizes before leaving."

"That's fine. Remember to bring your brother up with you. There are just five of us in one car, so your brother won't have to take another bus."

Mu Jingzhou was surprised: "Brother is going to the provincial capital too?"

"Yes, my parents agreed to let him work in your factory. Stay away from trouble and focus on your work." Li Lan smiled kindly, which was completely different from the coercive attitude she showed to Su Tang last night.

Mu Jingzhou was filled with anger and turned to glare at his parents.

“I, we also wanted to keep him away from that woman…” Old Mrs. Mu lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look at her son.

"It doesn't matter who you hire, so let your eldest brother go out and calm down." Old man Mu knocked his pipe on the ground, and soot fell all over the floor, filling the air with the smell of tobacco.

Li Lan's door was only two meters away. The smell of smoke came into the room with the wind, and the child choked and started crying.

Li Lan went back to the house to coax the child.

"Dad, Mom, I don't agree." Mu Jingzhou lowered the volume so as not to wake up his wife and second sister-in-law who were still sleeping.

"Why don't you agree to this?" Old Man Mu was shocked. "Your mother is old and your eldest sister has a bad temper. Just let it go if you refuse to accept her. Your eldest brother is the most honest and hardworking. Why don't you want her?"

"The child is still young, and my eldest brother can take care of him by staying at home," said Mu Jingzhou.

"It's okay, I will help your sister-in-law take care of the child." Old Mrs. Mu said quickly.

As if thinking of something, he added, "When Su Tang gives birth, your nephew will be more than four months old, so I won't need to take care of him. I will go to the provincial capital to help you take care of him."

"No need." Mu Jingzhou refused, "The factory doesn't need workers. Let my brother take care of it at home."

"Third brother, why don't you listen to my advice? Is someone whispering in your ears?" Old Man Mu asked unhappily.

Mu Jingzhou hated it most because they would blame Su Tang and his second sister-in-law for anything that was not to their liking.

He said unhappily, "It was my own idea."

"and you……"

"If you keep arguing, we won't care about your retirement money and the fifth child's medical expenses!"

Nothing is more threatening than money.

Old Man Mu and Old Lady Mu were so choked that they were speechless and could only stare blankly.

The family members all got up, but no one had gone to the kitchen to cook breakfast. Mu Jingzhou was afraid that his wife would be hungry, so he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to light the fire.

Old Man Mu gave Old Lady Mu a wink, and Old Lady Mu hurried in to help and persuade Mu Jingzhou at the same time.

Unexpectedly, Mu Jingzhou was like a person who had eaten a stone, and refused to listen no matter how she tried to persuade him.

Mu Jingyuan was listening outside the kitchen and felt very uncomfortable.

He is the eldest in the family, yet everyone dislikes him.

His wife dislikes him, and his brothers also dislike him.

Yes, he has no ability and no education! Wasn't it because he wanted his brothers to be able to go to school that he dropped out of school early to earn work points?

Now, not only are his brothers ungrateful, they also despise him!

Where in the world can you find such brothers?

"Third brother!" Mu Jingyuan rushed into the kitchen angrily, "Do you dislike me so much?"

"Brother, the provincial capital is not as good as you think. You should stay at home and repair your relationship with your sister-in-law." Mu Jingzhou said.

Mu Jingyuan simply couldn't listen: "The provincial capital is not good? Then your whole family will go to the provincial capital? You have also returned to the countryside before!"

"If Su Tang is in the countryside, I will definitely stay in the countryside."

"Haha! That sounds so nice! You just want to make money for yourselves and don't want to help me. Brothers? Humph, you ungrateful bastard!"

Mu Jingyuan cursed harshly, and Mu Jingzhou also got angry.

"Where did this ungrateful bastard come from? Was I raised by Big Brother? Did I eat Big Brother's food? Did I drink Big Brother's food?"

"If it wasn't for you and the second brother to study for a few more years, would I be illiterate? If I had a junior high school diploma, I could go to the county town and find a class to attend!"

"Mom, my eldest brother blames you for not paying for him to go to junior high school."

The war was successfully directed to Old Lady Mu, who said: …

In those days, every child went to work in the fields early. They just went with the flow!

By the time Fengfen came of age, her family's conditions had improved, and every family was proud that their child could go to school.

Mu Jingyuan was born early and didn't catch up with that good time. Is it her fault?

"Third brother, stop trying to sow discord. My parents have also told me to go to the provincial capital to work." Mu Jingyuan said sternly, "If you don't agree, you are being unfilial to your parents and disrespectful to your brother!"

"If you are unfilial, then be unfilial!"

Mu Jingzhou's bad attitude made Mu Jingyuan so angry that he jumped up and down.

Old Mrs. Mu had a headache: "Third brother, please help your eldest brother!"

"There are many ways to help, you don't have to go to work. Brother, you can sell our products in the county. You can run the business and take care of your wife and children at the same time." Mu Jingzhou said.

Selling things?

Then don't I still have to stay at home and act like a grandson in front of Li Lan every day?

“I don’t have money to buy goods!”

"I'll give you the goods on credit first, and then settle the bill after you sell them."

Such generous conditions made Old Lady Mu excited: "Boss, I think this will work!"

"mother!"

"Selling goods is better than working! If you sell more, you can earn more!"

Seeing her eldest son's cowardly look, Mrs. Mu agreed on his behalf: "Third son, I'll do as you say! Send the goods when you get back."

"Um."

Mu Jingzhou was too annoyed to cook and left halfway through kneading the dough.

Old Mrs. Mu asked Mu Jingyuan to light the fire while she kneaded the dough and steamed the buns.

She also specially chopped up some oil residue and brown sugar and steamed the sugar-coated buns that Su Tang liked.

The steamed buns were just finished, and Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao also got up. After hearing Mu Jingzhou's plan, both of them looked unhappy.
