Chapter 133: Disheartened and Missing My Wife
This was the first time that Old Man Mu publicly scolded his daughter-in-law after their marriage.
Fortunately, Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao were not there, otherwise it would have been so awkward.
Mu Jingyun said with a straight face: "Dad, don't say such harsh words."
“Unpleasant? I’ve said even more unpleasant things!” Old Man Mu sneered.
The two sons that I raised with great effort just ran away with the woman.
If I had known this would happen, I would not have allowed them to find wives!
Raised in vain!
"Then don't talk about it. Anyway, the third brother and I are going to the provincial capital to develop. Let's discuss with you whether the work points in the team should be deducted from you, or we should pay you directly?" Mu Jingyun asked.
How could Old Man Mu and Old Lady Mu be willing to deduct their work points?
Besides, they are going to deduct the work points of four people!
This is simply like eating the meat and gnawing on their bones!
"No deduction! You have to earn it yourselves! If you can't earn it, find a way yourself! Your father and I worked hard to raise you up, and you all got married. Your affairs from now on have nothing to do with us!" said Old Mrs. Mu loudly.
Seeing that her parents-in-law refused to give her any deductions, Li Lan suddenly became nervous.
Are you not planning on her husband?
This won't work, she can't work, and she's pregnant. Mu Jingyuan has to save the work points he earns for money and tickets!
"Sister-in-law..."
"Your eldest brother works alone, but he doesn't have many work points. Your nephew will be born at the end of the year, and by then he will need milk powder and nutritional supplements... I really can't help you."
Li Lan refused without waiting for Mu Jingyun to finish his words.
Every cell in my body was tense, and it was almost as if there was a sign on my forehead: Don’t get close to me!
He also signaled Mu Jingyuan with his eyes to say something as well.
Mu Jingyuan cleared his throat and advised with embarrassment: "Second and third brothers, the expenses in the provincial capital are extremely high. You should stay in the village and earn work points. This is a real livelihood and there is no risk..."
"As for my second and third sister-in-law, what can women achieve out there? Advise them to come back and sell soap properly at home. It will take care of the family and also give them a good reputation."
"You remember how shameful it is for a woman to make money by twisting her waist on stage! Right?"
Mu Jingyuan recalled the scene of the second and third children twisting their waists at home, his face full of disgust.
Show off! Show off!
"If I wanted to deduct your money, I'll just give it to you. If I don't want to deduct it, I'll give it to the team," said Mu Jingzhou.
Li Lan's eyes lit up, as if she saw the banknotes waving at her: "Old Third, how do I give you this money?"
"According to the team, I pay one dollar a day." Mu Jingzhou said.
One yuan a day, that's thirty yuan a month! It's the same salary as the workers in the county steel mill!
How can the work points on the team be so valuable?
At the end of the year, you can only get a little over a hundred yuan.
Li Lan quickly said, "Catch your big brother! Catch your big brother!"
Old Mrs. Mu was also shaken when she heard this.
She did the math in her mind.
Apart from the receipts for food and other things at home, all the work points she and the old man earned could be deducted.
That way, they can still have a net income of three or four hundred a year!
"Just deduct it!" Old Lady Mu groaned, "Since you insist on going to the provincial capital, we as parents can only support you. Just deduct all the extra work points from me and your father!"
"No need. We will just hand over the money to the team directly." Mu Jingyun sneered.
It doesn't matter who you give it to. Why do you have to beg them?
Originally they thought that all the money would be kept within the family, but in the end, they were all afraid of losing a penny!
It's really disheartening!
"Third brother, let's go!" Mu Jingyun picked up his hoe and walked out before he even had time to sit down.
Mu Jingzhou silently picked up the axe. His excitement about going home had been dampened by his parents and brother and sister-in-law.
If no one supports them, why should they consider everything?
As the sun sets, the insects in the mountains gradually become active, chirping.
The two men went through the mountains and around the trees and came to the depths of the mountain. The enclosure for the wild boars had weeds and other plants, and they were not completely fed.
Now, all the wild boars have become fatter again.
But it’s still not cost-effective to sell.
If you can keep it for another two months, it will be fatter and more valuable.
Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou looked at the wild boar farm they had worked so hard to build, feeling reluctant to leave.
"Let's sell it! Big brother won't help us feed it." Mu Jingyun's voice was light, with a hint of uncertainty.
If he could find someone to help feed the pigs at this time, he would really be reluctant to sell them.
"Sister-in-law is greedy. It will be bad if this matter is exposed." Mu Jingzhou said, "Sell it! Go to the provincial capital to make a living peacefully!"
"Yes! No one in our family can be trusted." Mu Jingyun sighed and gritted his teeth: "Sell!"
It is not easy to transport so many pigs out of the mountain at once.
It took a lot of effort just to slaughter the pig.
After all the animals are slaughtered, they have to be carried down the mountain one by one.
By the time they were done, it was already past nine in the evening. Both of them were exhausted.
Besides, they haven't had dinner yet!
"Oh, I miss the days when your second sister-in-law and third brother's wife were at home. At least we wouldn't starve." Mu Jingyun lay on the ground, looking at the starry sky and thinking about his wife.
"Yes! In this family, they are the best to us." Mu Jingzhou also thought.
We’ve only been apart for one day!
It seems like a century has passed!
"Let's go find something to eat when we get to the county town. Third brother, go borrow the ox cart from Uncle Zhou, and I'll look after the pigs."
"good."
Lao Zhou borrowed the car without saying anything, and only instructed: "Clean the car for me when you return it."
They were also given some fodder to feed the cattle on the way.
Obviously, he knew this job very well.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou!"
Mu Jingzhou drove a ox cart to the foot of the mountain and carried the slaughtered wild boar up.
The old cow felt it was too heavy and mooed in dissatisfaction.
Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou could not add any more weight to the old cow, so they led the cow along, stopping from time to time to feed the old cow some grass.
We walked and stopped like this, and it was already past midnight when we arrived at the county town.
The black market is bustling at night, but it may be slow recently and there are few people.
The two brothers covered their faces and found the previous buyer: Brother Song.
There is a long scar on his forehead, which looks fierce and scary.
But when he saw the familiar ox cart and wild boar, he immediately smiled and said, "So much meat today?"
"Brother Song, this is the last deal. There will be no more." Mu Jingyun said in a deep voice, "Take a look and tell me how much you want to pay."
Brother Song dialed the number a few times and said, "It's too risky for me to collect so much at once, so I can only give you 200 yuan."
"Two hundred? Too little." Mu Jingzhou frowned, "These must weigh five hundred kilograms!"
"Without the skin and blood, there won't be that much meat. I'll add another twenty. If you can sell it, sell it. If not, take it back."
Brother Song was very smart. He was sure that they would not be able to find a better buyer, so he lowered the price very low.
Mu Jingyun was holding his breath, but he could only hold it in: "It's too low."
"Then you can go and have a look at other places." Brother Song didn't force them.
Veins popped up on Mu Jingyun's forehead. Mu Jingzhou hurriedly pulled him and said, "Brother Song, we are old acquaintances. Add another twenty and give it all to you. If it's really unacceptable, I'll take you back to the team."
"Are you crazy? If you take it back and hand it over to the team, you won't get a penny!" Brother Song sneered.
I simply don't believe that anyone would leave money unearned.
"That's also a favor." Mu Jingzhou smiled casually, "Is it okay?"
"Two hundred and twenty is the most." Brother Song insisted.
Mu Jingzhou didn't say much, turned around and left: "Go back to the village!"
Brother Song was stunned.
Seeing that the car had already gone more than ten meters and there was no intention of turning back, he had no choice but to chase after it: "Okay, I'll give it to you."
Delivery and payment.
Brother Song asked curiously, "You guys are really good at hunting. You caught so many wild boars in one go."
"Lucky, I dug up the pig sty."
"Next time you have more, come find me!"
"OK."
Mu Jingzhou took the money and went home.
After leaving the black market, Mu Jingyun cursed: "The Song guy is not a good person. According to the usual price, we should sell it for at least three hundred yuan!"
"Forget it, having two hundred and forty now is not bad." Mu Jingzhou smiled, "After we finish processing the pigs, we can go back to the provincial capital tomorrow."
Mu Jingyun then smiled: "Yes, you can go find a wife now."
