Chapter 174: Brother Li Mu’s Thoughts 1
"Taohong, let's go back." After leaving Zuiyue Tower, Lin Qianqian rushed back.
When we arrived in Lijia Village, it was getting late.
"I have something to do when I go to Sister Zhang's house, so you can go back first." Lin Qianqian asked Taohong to go home first and went to Li Mutou's house by herself.
Because Li Mutou had to take care of Zhang, he quit his work in the town and focused on serving his wife to finish his confinement.
"Girl, are you here?" Seeing that she was coming, Zhang quickly got up.
The woman walked over quickly, pressed Zhang down, and said, "You have just been in the confinement period for a few days, how can you get up? Sit quickly, and Brother Li Mu will feel distressed again if the wind catches a cold later."
"Hey, it's just the people in the countryside. They are not that delicate. I can get out of bed long ago. You, Brother Mu, are still fussing. But... I listen to the girl." Zhang said sweetly. When she saw the girl bringing two maids to this unfamiliar place, she felt pitiful, so she helped her a few times. Unexpectedly, because of these tricks, Lin Qianqian had returned too much.
"A woman is weak after giving birth, so it is natural to go to confinement. I know that Brother Li Mu has been off work for a while and is always serving you. I envy you so much."
Zhang smiled sweetly and said, "What's the matter of envying? It's just a lump of wood..."
As he was talking, Lin Qianqian took out a purse and put it in Zhang's hand, saying, "This is two hundred copper coins. You can take it first and replenish your body. I know that your life is not easy..."
Li Mutou relies on doing a handful of Mutou's work to make a living. His life is barely hard, although it is not hard or surplus. Now that the family has two more children, Li Mutou has to free up his hands to take care of his wife and two children. Lin Qianqian imagines that the family is too difficult. Since she can help, she must help.
She will always remember this truth when she was repaying her dripping water. In her most difficult time, it was Sister Zhang's family who extended a helping hand. Although it was not much, just a few corn and a bag of white rice, it also showed the simplicity of their family.
Zhang felt the money was heavy and knew that there must be a lot of money in it. He hurriedly refused and returned it to the woman, saying, "Girl, I really can't accept this money. This is not the first time..."
This is not the first time Lin Qianqian has helped their family, which makes Zhang feel a little sad. Last time he agreed to pay it back, but he hasn't paid it back yet.
"Sister Zhang, take it, I don't want you to return it, just treat it as a gift for the two children. Don't forget, you promised me to be the child's godmother!" Lin Qianqian returned it to her again. Now this family lacks money.
"No, we can't, we have some, some..." Zhang's eyes were slightly red.
"Sister Zhang, you lied to me. Yesterday, I heard that Brother Li Mu went to borrow money from the villagers." Lin Qianqian said. She also heard that Li Mutou did not borrow money, but was driven out by others.
Zhang hesitated and stammered, wanting to say something but couldn't say it. Suddenly, he hugged Lin Qianqian and cried out loud.
"Woo... Girl, I'll be content with you in my life... Girl." Zhang cried very loudly, and the nervous Li Mutou thought something had happened.
Zhang also heard that Li Mutou was driven out by borrowing money. He felt deeply embarrassed. Zhang also felt helpless. The three children in the family all needed great expenses. Li Mutou was under great pressure and shed tears silently before going to bed every night. When Zhang knew about it, he could only comfort him quietly. The couple had to grit their teeth and overcome the difficulties together.
"Okay, okay, don't howl." Lin Qianqian hugged the woman who was crying in the dark, patted her on the back, and said, "If you howl again, the child will wake up."
Zhang sobbed a few times, stopped crying, wiped away his tears, and said half-crying and half-chilling: "Girl, I made you laugh at me, right?"
