Chapter 4 Selling bamboo shoots

"Get up, get up, it's time to go to work."

The genius was bright and the sun was still sleeping, so Mu Yunhe and Mu Yuntian were dug out of their beds by the bright moon.

In fact, Mingyue didn't think of it so early. She was a night owl in her previous life. After all, no one's house was monitored early in the morning. Most of the tasks given by the organization were to take advantage of the dark night and high winds to act, so she

She has developed the habit of going to bed late and getting up late, but I don't know if it was because she went to bed early yesterday, but she woke up early in the morning.

After she woke up, she took a deep breath of the fresh air here and walked in the yard for half an hour before calling her brother-in-law. Therefore, in her opinion, it was already getting late.

By the river, Sister-in-law Wang came to wash clothes early today. She is the first to come every day. Because she loves cleanliness, she feels that she must use the river water before others to avoid being infected with any disease. However,

, her eyes widened in shock when she saw Mingyue and her two brothers-in-law here. Then she looked at the two large buckets of clothes that were only one item away from being washed. She felt that she must have been dazzled.

"Sister-in-law Wang, morning!"

Mingyue's greeting convinced Sister-in-law Wang that what she saw was true. She nodded blankly, "Good morning, good morning, good morning to you all!"

When Mingyue and her two brothers-in-law carried two buckets of clothes back, they also stopped by the well at the entrance of the village to pick up a bucket of water.

At this time, the villagers had already gotten up one after another. When they went out and saw the three people and the things in their hands, they all looked like they had seen a ghost. Mingyue never got up until noon, and the Mu family

Those two boys have never worked since they came to the village. The sun rises in the west today?!

When they got home, Mu Yunhe and Mu Yuntian hung out their clothes, while Mingyue went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Mu Yunkai had already gotten up, and he insisted on helping Mingyue light the fire.

When Madam Mu got up, she was the only one left in the house.

She went to the kitchen and took a look. The food was being heated for her in the pot, including steamed buns, white porridge, a bowl of egg custard and a bowl of spring bamboo shoots braised in oil.

She ate breakfast in silence and had nothing to do at home. After washing the dishes, she went back to the house to lie down on the kang and go to sleep.

When she woke up, Mrs. Mu heard something moving in the yard, and thought it was her sons coming back, so she hurried out of the house to see, but...

"Village chief? Dalang, where are your wife and brothers?"

The village chief put the two bamboos he was carrying on his shoulders in the yard. He turned around and sat on a wooden bench in the yard to take a breath and said, "They went to town. Mingyue dug a basket of spring bamboo shoots and they took it to sell."

.

With a pale face, Mu Yunkai moved to sit next to the village chief and said, "Mom, make some barley tea. Later the village chief will ask two people to come over and help make bamboo strips."

In the back mountain, Mingyue did not go to town. She was taking Mu Yunhe to catch pheasants.

Mu Yuntian sat wilted on the ground. He looked at his blistered hands and wanted to cry loudly, but he didn't dare. His sister-in-law was too scary. He had to keep an eye on the basket full of spring bamboo shoots and the bamboo shoots tied at his feet.

A pheasant.

"Master, stop! It's dangerous, we can't go any further."

Hearing Xiaomeng's voice, Mingyue grabbed Mu Yunhe beside her and said, "Let's go, come back tomorrow, go to town first today, it will be difficult to sell things if you are late."

Mu Yunhe glanced at Mingyue suspiciously. You were the one who said you must catch this pheasant just now?! Women are really changing.

The town is still some distance away from here, and the original owner has never been there, but Mu Yunhe told Mingyue that it takes an hour to walk there.

Mingyue and Mu Yunhe each carried half a basket of spring bamboo shoots, and Mu Yuntian carried a pheasant. When the three of them walked to the entrance of the village, they happened to encounter Brother Wang's ox cart.

Brother Wang was very enthusiastic, "Mingyue, I heard from the village chief that you are going to the town. Come quickly. It happens that there are not many people going to the town today, so I will take you there."

After Mingyue thanked her, she held her two brothers-in-law down and said thank you, and then the three of them got on the bullock cart.

Looking at Mingyue looking around with excitement, Mu Yunhe muttered in his heart: You ignorant bumpkin.

Xiaomeng told Mingyue about Mu Yunhe's complaints, but Mingyue didn't have time to talk to Mu Yunhe now, she was very busy.

"Xiaomeng, do I have to look at everything around me with my eyes before you can record it?"

Xiaomeng actually sneered, "No, Master, as long as your body passes by, I will scan it myself. Even if you are lying in the car and sleeping, it is fine. It will not affect my work at all."

.”

Mingyue replied in her mind: "Oh, then you are busy with your business, I will look at mine, I still have to know the way. But, Xiaomeng, you just discovered something in the back mountain, why don't you let me go there?

Leaving before?"

Xiaomeng hesitated for a moment and decided not to tell the master for the time being, "Master, I can't tell you yet. Anyway, don't go there for the time being. I will take you there when your strength recovers."

Mingyue told Xiaomeng her plan to lose weight and practice martial arts. Therefore, Xiaomeng knew that her master would become very powerful in the future. She was even excited at that time because she and her master were tied together. When the master became stronger, it became more powerful.

It will be more powerful. As for how powerful it is, Xiaomeng doesn't know yet, but it has a feeling that it will definitely become an invincible existence.

The group of people soon arrived in the town.

Brother Wang pointed to the city gate and said: "Mingyue, let's meet there when we get back. You take your time and do things slowly. It's easy to make mistakes when you're busy. Don't be anxious. Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you there no matter how late it is."

Mingyue took her two brothers-in-law and thanked Brother Wang profusely before going to the market in the town.

"Hey, brother, look over there. Is that from Wangjiacun? There's that little gambler there too."

"Yes, eldest brother, second brother read that right, it was them. They dared to threaten us that day and almost made eldest brother lose his face. Now that they are in our territory, I will take a few brothers to deal with them and vent your anger.

"

The thugs who came to Wangjia Village yesterday to collect debts were collecting protection money at the market. After targeting Mingyue and the others, they walked straight towards them.

"Master, it's not good, the thugs from that day are here!" Xiaomeng was so frightened that Mingyue's mind almost jumped.

Its roar startled Mingyue.

Mingyue glanced at the government office not far away. She knew that today would not be so peaceful, so she chose to set up a stall here.

She stood up and stood in front of her two brothers-in-law, and told them: "Take the spring bamboo shoots and squat in front of the government office. If the officials chase you, you can say that you are delivering food to the county magistrate."

Mu Yuntian stared at the pheasant on the ground without moving.

Mingyue was anxious, "Go quickly! Keep that chicken, I can use it."

Seeing several thugs surrounding them, Mingyue picked up the chicken and stepped forward to stop them. From the corner of her eye, she saw Mu Yunhe pulling Mu Yuntian away, and she finally felt relieved.

Mingyue passed the chicken forward with a smile on her face, "This is specially for the elder brothers, please accept it! We are delivering food to the county magistrate today. As you know, our family has nothing left except foreign debts."

I caught this pheasant and thought I would stop by to see a few of them, but I didn’t expect to meet them here.”

What?! How did they get to know the county magistrate? The boss of the thugs frowned, raised his hand to stop the younger brothers behind him from stepping forward, narrowed his cloudy eyes and looked at Mingyue suspiciously, and saw that she had no guilty conscience at all.

Then she looked at the two boys not far behind her who were talking to the official, and believed her words.

"Take the chicken." He waved to the people behind him, and a boy stepped forward and snatched the pheasant from Mingyue's hand.

He put away the fierce look on his face and said calmly to Mingyue: "This pheasant is good. I like to eat it. Remember to catch one for me every time you come over. I won't catch it in vain, just treat it as a meal."

It’s worth the protection fee you paid for setting up a stall here.”

The smile on Mingyue's face continued, "Okay, brother, I remember."

After finally fooling the local snake away, Mingyue let out a long breath, turned around and saw that the two brothers-in-law were gone!

Dragging her fat body, she quickly walked to the door of the government office, bowed to the official at the door, and then asked hurriedly: "Master, do you know where my two brothers have gone?"

The official was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed, "Are you talking about the two boys who brought spring bamboo shoots to us adults? They went to the back door. This is the front office. You must remember to go to the back door when delivering food.

Otherwise, if the adults see you being so unruly, they will slap you. My whole family was only able to survive the plague after being treated by Aunt Wang. I am saying this because of this kindness and because you are from her village.

A lot."

Mingyue saluted and thanked her repeatedly, and then went to the back door to find her two brothers-in-law.

However, she was blocked by two thugs halfway.

"Woman, my eldest brother is kind, but we are not easy to fool. You made us lose face and destroyed our prestige that day. We must pay back this debt."

Mingyue looked around and saw that this was a small alley with no one on both sides and no one passing by in front or behind, so she started running as hard as she could.

Don't get me wrong, he wasn't running away, he was running towards the two thugs.

Feeling that she had almost increased her speed, Ming Yue kicked off the wall next to her and jumped up using her strength. She opened her arms and rushed towards the two thugs, "I'm coming!"

The two thugs watched Mingyue running in front of them, and then they suddenly turned around and sat down hard. They were lying on the ground dumbfounded, no, what kind of move is this?!

What move? Ming Yue sat on the two thugs and told them, "This is called Taishan's pressure. Don't provoke me in the future if the tonnage is not enough. You have been merciful this time. Next time, I may kill you all."

Mingyue was feeling proud when she saw the boss of the thugs coming over with a group of people.
