Lin Mo picked a few fuller ones and looked at the wild grapes that were still a little green. He was about to put them in his mouth but stopped.
He immediately stuffed the grapes into Lin Wu's mouth and asked, "How is it? Is it sweet?"
Lin Wu ate several of them in a row. He was sweating profusely, but after eating them, he felt refreshed and energetic. The more he ate, the more saliva he salivated. He couldn't help but pick a few more.
"Third brother, it's delicious, sour and sweet. Come and try it, I think it's almost done!"
Seeing him eating so happily, Lin Mo couldn't help but put one in his mouth. After taking a bite, the sour juice spread all over his mouth, and it was so sour that his whole face became distorted and hideous.
Damn!! So sour!
"Xiao Wu! Did you do this on purpose?" Lin Mo exclaimed and quickly spat out the grape skin.
Lin Wu turned back in confusion, his eyes clear and pure: "Third brother, is it very sour? Why don't you eat a few more? Maybe the one you eat is sour, and the others are quite sweet to me!"
Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him unhappily. Wild grapes are naturally sourer than cultivated ones, and these unripe ones must be even sourer. Lin Wu was probably someone who could tolerate sourness very well.
"It's too sour. I'll give Mu Mu a few to try. If he doesn't think it's sour, we'll pick some to take back." Lin Mo ran back with a few and handed them to Su Mu.
If Su Mu was someone who couldn't stand sour food, after eating one, his facial features would be even more distorted than Lin Mo's, and he even made a "slurping" sound because of the sourness.
This made Lin Mo laugh out loud. Su Mu couldn't bear to see him laughing at him like that, so he stared at his smiling lips and subconsciously threw a grape in.
Lin Mo didn't expect that Su Mu, who was always honest and indifferent, would play such a joke on him. After taking a bite, the saliva in his mouth instantly overflowed, and it was so sour that he couldn't even bear it!
"Little Wood, you are naughty. You even tease me!" Lin Mo said with aggrieved tone, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all.
Su Mu felt uncomfortable under his naked and fiery gaze. "I saw you open your mouth and thought you wanted to eat... I'd better go pick some peppercorns over there!"
After saying that, Su Mu was caught and escaped, leaving Lin Mo alone, grinning foolishly.
Pressing the grapes in his hand, he shouted to Lin Wu, "Xiao Wu, pick more wild grapes and bring them home for Big Brother and the others to taste!"
They shouldn't be the only ones to bear this pain.
The three of them worked hard for most of the day, and when they had collected almost everything, Lin Mo went back home.
It was only afternoon, and there were still quite a few people gathered around their house, all selling soybeans and peppers.
"Amo, you're finally back." Lin Sheng shouted, and everyone turned around.
"The third boy from the Lin family is back."
"Look, Su Mu is also with him. He is really rich. The whole family is wearing fine cotton and silk."
"Brother Mu is really enjoying a good life following him. We have never worn such fine clothes in our entire lives..."
"Su Yunqiu must be regretting it so much right now. She called off the engagement with such a good fiancé. Now she's living a life worse than death in the Wang family. She deserves it!"
“…”
The women who were reselling goods in the yard were all from the village. They all loved gossip. When they saw Su Mu, they couldn't help but start discussing.
Lin Mo took the bag from Su Mu's hand and carefully placed it in the house.
He responded to everyone who greeted him in the yard, always with a faint smile on his face, giving people a very gentle feeling.
And Su Mu was still the same, following him obediently, always with his head slightly lowered, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Lin Mo felt distressed when he saw this, thinking of the day when his engagement was broken off, when this man was standing there quietly like this. He reached out and pulled him into the house.
Su Mu struggled a little at first, and his ears turned red, but he was too embarrassed to make a sound, so he could only follow Lin Mo in.
Lin Mo took a pen and paper and wrote down the multiplication formula, saying, "You learned the addition and subtraction of numbers I taught you a few days ago very well. Memorize this today and study it whenever you have time in the future."
"Okay." Su Mu nodded and carefully took the charcoal pencil. The paper, pen and ink were all precious things, and he cherished them every time he used them.
Such a well-behaved child! This child is really so well-behaved.
Lin Mo was itching to try it, so he waited until it got dark outside before going out. By then, there was no one else at the door, only piles of soybeans and peppers.
"Tang Jie, I'm worried that it will rain in a few days. Tomorrow, ask the people who come to work at my house to move all these to the greenhouse. Don't collect them tomorrow. There will be enough here for a while." Lin Mo said to Tang Jie.
"Okay, Brother Mo, I'll go back first. If there's anything else, you can tell me at any time."
Tang Jie said cheerfully as he led Lin Wen out of the main hall. He had earned a lot of money following Lin Wu during this period, and his life at home had become better.
Lin Mo called him, "Eat first and then go back. You've been busy all day. I'll cook in a while."
Lin Mo felt more sympathetic and friendly towards Tang Jie, mainly because he and Lin Wu had been friends since childhood, and he had taken a lot of care of Lin Wen. In addition, his family was rather complicated, and his situation at home was not very good.
Everyone in the village said that Tang Jie's mother was a widow. In fact, his mother had always stayed in a brothel. In fact, she had never been married and could not be considered a widow.
It was also because he was used to staying in the brothel that he was restless after returning to the village.
Many men in the village have slept with her. When she first arrived in the village, she had some charm, which made many men in the village feel tempted and they went to her frequently.
Most of the women and boys in the village were of ordinary appearance, and due to years of hard work, they were all thin, dark and rough. Tang, who was raised in a brothel since childhood and had fair and delicate skin, naturally got along well here.
Although she is not young, she is an expert in that field. Her voice is softer and more charming than that of ordinary women, and she also knows how to please men.
These country men in the village were easily controlled by him and were aroused by her.
At first, the villagers didn't know her background and thought that her husband had died in her family, so she had to bring her five or six-year-old son to Maolin Village to make a living.
Just a few months after she came to the village, she became pregnant and gave birth to a little son the following year.
Everyone suddenly realized that she was not a widow, but an old woman who came from a brothel and came to their village to do shameful things.
During those years, the women in the village were very quarrelsome. They went to Tang Jie's house to make trouble several times and scolded him so much that Tang didn't dare to go out for several days. Tang Jie was beaten all over by the angry women in the village.
As for who the youngest son belongs to, no one has admitted it yet, and she won't say it either, but Tang dotes on her youngest son and truly protects him as if he were her sweetheart.
Instead, they beat and scolded Tang Jie, torturing him in various ways. At such a young age, Tang Jie had to work as a laborer at home.
Many times, even Tang Jie himself wondered whether he was his mother's biological son.
