Although everyone in the Huang family understood her intention, Yun Mo still explained it patiently.

It is said to be an explanation, but in fact it is more of a reminder to Huang Jianjun.

"There is a saying that goes, 'Don't show off your wealth, don't show off your wealth'. It means that if you have money, you should not reveal it to others, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble at best, or even bring disaster at worst.

Let me give you an example. Everyone knows that our family is rich and has good things. When relatives and friends come to borrow money and things, should we lend them or not? If we don’t lend them, we will definitely offend them. If we lend them, someone else will come to us. We are all relatives, so we can’t favor one over the other. If we lend this one and not that one, in the long run, no matter how much money and things our family has, they will all be drained out.”

Huang Jianjun couldn't help but say, "Things are borrowed, not given away. They have to be returned anyway."

Yun Mo smiled faintly, "Uncle, not everyone understands the principle of repaying what you borrow. There is a saying that a grandson who borrows money owes his grandfather.

What this means is that when the other party asks you to borrow money, he or she will put on a big smile, say nice things, and be as humble as a grandson.

But when it comes time to pay back the money, the other party suddenly acts like a big shot, looking down on him and ignoring him. Instead, the creditor has to come to his door and urge him to pay back the money.”

Huang Qingning nodded in agreement, "Yes, just like Second Aunt! She has the money but she refuses to pay it back, so shameless!"

Yun Mo looked at Huang Jianjun, whose worldview was shaken and he was a little stunned, "Uncle, if someone asks you about the cigarettes and alcohol, you can just say you don't know, or just admit it's fake."

Huang Jianjun looked at Ling Chuan hesitantly, "Wouldn't that be unfair to you and Xiao Ling?"

"I'm fine."

Ling Chuan immediately followed suit, "It doesn't matter to me either."

Yun Mo added: "The gossip is only temporary. After Ling Chuan and I leave, everyone will slowly forget about it.

Uncle, we have to consider grandma and aunt. After the New Year, you all go to the city to work on the bamboo weaving factory, and grandma and aunt are the only ones at home. If a bad guy sets his eyes on the Huang family, it would be a small matter if something were to happen to grandma and aunt, but it would be a loss. "

"Momo's worry is not without reason." Huang Zhiqiu looked at his elder brother seriously, "Brother, you must keep your mouth shut in the future and don't tell anything to others."

Huang Jianjun nodded quickly, "Don't worry, if anyone asks me, I will say that the cigarettes and alcohol are all fake."

After explaining everything to the Huang family, Yun Mo packed her things and prepared to go to Huang Jianye's house in town to get acquainted.

The villagers outside the Huang family’s gate had already dispersed. Some went back home, and some ran to Peng Fang’s house to watch the fun.

After learning that the cigarettes and alcohol were real, Peng Fang regretted it so much that she felt like her intestines were turning green. She didn't plan to return the cigarettes that her eldest son had taken away to Yun Mo.

But Yun Mo didn't intend to let the other party take advantage.

When passing by the path outside Huang Jianguo's house, she and Ling Chuan turned in on purpose.

Seeing Yun Mo coming, Peng Fang turned around and tried to hide in the house, but Yun Mo did not give her a chance and stated her purpose straight away.

"Second aunt, I'm here to get those two packs of Double Happiness cigarettes."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Peng Fang simply lied, "Xiao Zhao took the cigarettes away, and he's not here."

Yun Mo smiled and was not angry. "Then I'll come back in the evening. Second cousin has to go home for dinner, right?"

"How would I know? His legs are on his body. He can go wherever he wants. I can't control him."

"Second aunt, I left in a hurry this morning and forgot one thing. You haven't given me the 5 dollars this month yet."

Just as Peng Fang was about to find an excuse to shirk responsibility, Yun Mo spoke up again, "We agreed on this a few days ago, are you going to break your promise again?"

The villagers were grateful for Yun Mo's kindness and spoke up to help her.

"Five dollars is not fifty or five hundred dollars. You are in such a dilemma. If you really don't have it, I will lend it to you first to pay it back."

"Not at all. Yesterday I saw dozens of dollars in her purse!"

"Pay it back as soon as you have the money. Chinese New Year is coming soon. It's unlucky to be asked to pay back during the Chinese New Year."

Everyone was talking at once, like a machine gun. Peng Fang had no choice but to pull a donkey face, take out the purse tied to his waistband, count out five one-dollar bills and throw them to Yun Mo.

Yun Mo subconsciously caught it, but her hands were unable to catch it and one of the one-dollar bills fell to the ground.

Yun Mo would never pick up money from chicken manure. She counted the money in her hand and said slowly, "Second Aunt, I have a total of 4 yuan in my hand, and I'm still short of 1 yuan."

Peng Fang stared at her, "Are you blind? How can you not see such a big bill on the ground?"

Yun Mo smiled, "I only recognize the money in my hand. If Second Aunt can't give me the remaining 1 yuan now, I will come back to ask for it in the evening. Or..."

Yun Mo looked at the chickens clucking around in the yard.

Although chicken poop stinks, this kind of free-range chicken raised in the countryside still tastes delicious.

"You're missing my chicken idea!"

Seeing Yun Mo's intention towards her chicken, Peng Fang immediately glared at her warily.

Instead of restraining herself, Yun Mo stretched out her slender white fingers and started counting the chickens.

"1, 2, 3... Ah, there are 6 chickens in total. Each chicken should weigh 10 to 20 pounds. According to the market price, each chicken is about 5 yuan. Second aunt, if you can't bear to spend money, I will just take a chicken back."

"You wish. I have raised these chickens for a year, and each one weighs at least 15-20 pounds!"

"It's okay. Once we catch it, we'll weigh it and we'll know how much it weighs."

As she spoke, Yun Mo turned around and motioned Ling Chuan to catch the chicken.

Ling Chuan walked into the yard.

Peng Fang was anxious and reached out to stop Ling Chuan, "Okay, it's just 1 dollar, I'll give it to you!"

Perhaps worried that Yun Mo would take her chicken away, Peng Fang did not act up this time and obediently took out another clean 1-yuan bill.

After collecting the money, Yun Mo left with satisfaction.

Peng Fang cursed at her back, then bent down to pick up the banknote stained with chicken shit. She couldn't help but smell it and almost vomited.

"Ugh, what the hell do you eat every day? Your shit stinks so bad!"

—

After they walked out of the village, Yun Mo reached out and held the man's arm.

Ling Chuan turned to look at her.

"Lingchuan, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged about the cigarette and alcohol incident, but don't worry, I will help you clear your name when I have the chance in the future."

I am willing to share the grievances with you.

Ling Chuan thought to himself and said, "It's okay, wife, as long as mom and grandpa know my feelings, I don't care what outsiders think."

After a brief silence, Yun Mo cleared her throat and said, "Well, I've thought about what you said before."

Ling Chuan stared at her intently, with stars twinkling in his eyes.

Yun Mo stretched out her hand and turned his face forward, "Look at the road, don't look at me."

"You look good."

"Stop talking so smoothly, it's useless."

"Wife, I'm speaking from the heart."

Yun Mo glared at him and said, "In two days."

"good!"
