Chapter 5 Big Brother
The two thugs lying on the ground waved to the front with angrily, "Brother, help!"
Mingyue glanced at the thug team that was coming towards her with murderous aura. She was a little panicked. She was not sure of using her current body to face more than twenty people.
"What should I do if Xiao Meng?"
Just as she was discussing how to get ahead with wisdom with Xiao Meng, the thugs' elder brother stepped forward with an expressionless face, reached out to pull Mingyue up carefully, and... he also handed her a purse!
Mingyue was very confused, and Xiao Meng also felt that her program had a moment of garbled code. Did this person get something wrong?!
At this time, the elder brother stuffed the purse into Mingyue's hand with his trembling hands with his excitement, "Girl, I will be your biological brother from now on. You don't have much money to take, just think it's my money to buy your pheasant. I just had too many people just now, so I can't tell you more. Now I'll tell you the truth. I recognized you yesterday. You are Aunt Wang's daughter. Don't worry, I will take these two boys who are in trouble for you and clean up."
Mingyue raised her hand and held her purse, glanced at the two thugs on the ground who had already fainted by her. Blood was still hanging on the corners of their mouths.
Mingyue touched her nose, "Haha, there is no need to clean up."
The eldest brother waved to the team behind him, "Come here, I've seen my sister! Remember, if something happens to my sister on your territory in the future, I'll ask you."
Seeing Mingyue still a little confused, my elder brother changed into a gentle tone and explained to her: "If Aunt Wang had brought me down from the leprosy mountain back then, I would not have been today? Which family in our town had not received her favor? If it weren't for your mother that year, everyone in our town would have to explain that life-saving grace is greater than that. Whoever sees your mother will say hello, is it okay? I saw you marrying a family and having a house in the dilapidated house. Do you want to regret the marriage? Is his family bullying you mother and daughter? Otherwise, you wouldn't come to the town to sell mountain goods from all over the place. I have no other ability, I can fight. As long as you say something, I will do whatever you say."
Mingyue swallowed her saliva and tried to digest the news that shocked and moved her. She said in a complicated mood: "That, my mother passed away. I'm doing well now. Don't cause trouble for my in-laws, otherwise you will be helping you."
The eldest brother's eyes turned red in an instant, looking disbelief, "What? I saw her well last month! She also prescribed a baby medicine for my wife. How could it be?"
Mu Yunhe and Mu Yuntian smiled and sold all the spring bamboo shoots to the kitchen of the government office, and walked towards the entrance of the alley while counting the money.
"Third brother, do you think my sister-in-law can do it?"
"It should be, otherwise how could she know that the ladies from the county magistrate's family like to eat spring bamboo shoots, and they must be newly picked."
Mu Yunhe looked at the money in his hand and murmured in a low voice: "I'm so lucky recently. If I go to a gamble, I will definitely make a lot of money."
Mu Yuntian kept the half of his money in his arms, and jumped aside to avoid his second brother from a distance.
As soon as he looked up, he saw the bright moon standing at the entrance of the alley. He rushed over and shouted as he ran: "Sister-in-law, we have sold all the spring bamboo shoots. Second brother, he still has to go bet, you can grab the money back quickly."
"I'm not." Mu Yunhe wanted to argue, but when he saw the thugs standing behind Mingyue, he almost weakened his legs and knelt down.
"No! Don't take my daughter away, sell me if you want to sell it."
"Hmph! Don't worry, not only will you sell it, but your youngest son can't escape. Your man owes fifty taels to the gambling house. Now women are not worth much now, and you mother and daughter can't get rid of this debt. You must add your youngest son and your man. The person comes, take it away, the woman is sent to Chunman Garden, and the man is sent to the Zuixian Tower, and the person who is disobedient is beaten to death."
Outside the gate of a farmhouse yard next to the town, Mu Yunhe was suppressed by his elder brother to see what happened to this family.
"Do you understand? If my sister and the whole village helped you that day, your family would be the end of this. No, it's worse than them. After all, you owe too much, and your mother and your elder brother are both sick. They may be sold to a more dirty place and taken away or taken to test medicine. Don't say that we are cruel to the thugs, even if we don't go, there will be others. We just took money to do things for others. Everyone is just to support their families, and no one is easier than anyone else. At least I won't really beat anyone to death if I take action. If it's another one, it's really hard to say."
The eldest brother spoke very calmly, but he was frightened in Mu Yunhe and Mu Yuntian's ears.
Mu Yunhe was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.
Mu Yuntian cried and rushed towards him, and punched and kicked him, "It's all you, it's all you, you almost caused our family to be destroyed. If it weren't for my sister-in-law, I would have been tortured to death now, and my mother and brother would have... You actually wanted to go bet, I'm going to beat you to death."
Mingyue stepped forward and pulled Mu Yuntian, hugging his thin body, which was trembling with fear and anger, tightly in his arms, "Don't cry, don't be afraid, there's a sister-in-law."
Finally found the feeling of relying on him, he lay in Mingyue's arms and cried loudly.
Mu Yunhe suddenly remembered that when the beam of the house was smashed down, his father raised his hand and blocked his brother's head. He trembled and crawled to Mingyue's side, holding Mingyue's arm and burst into tears, "Sister-in-law, I'm really wrong. Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will work hard and pay back the money, I will listen to you in the future."
The eldest brother watched them crying quietly before he spoke, "Let's go, I'll take you to the city gate to find Brother Wang."
On the way, Mingyue asked: "Brother, what's your name?"
The eldest brother was stunned. For so many years, only Aunt Wang could call his name. He said excitedly: "My name is Li Da, but everyone calls me Li Da, only your mother can call him right."
"Okay, Brother Li Da, I will catch you a pheasant when I come next time."
Li Da looked at Mingyue with a serious expression, and he smiled heartily: "Okay! However, I will still give you money according to the market price. When will your family pay off all their debts? It will not be too late to ask me to go home and have a good meal."
Mingyue raised her right hand and saw that Li Da was not sure. She grabbed his right hand and clenched her, "Okay, one word is certain!"
At the gate of the city, Brother Wang stood at the agreed place and looked at the sun setting westward, rubbing his hands anxiously.
The villagers who had already got on the bus said, "Wang Da, don't worry, we'll have nothing to do when we go home, it's okay to wait a while longer. Mingyue girl came to the town for the first time. She probably liked the bustle here. After selling the goods, she went to stroll around. Let's wait for another stick of incense. If she doesn't come yet, let's go in and look for it together."
As he spoke, Brother Wang was choked by his saliva. What did he see? Didn’t Mingyue beside him who went into the village to ask for debt that day? Also, why did Erlang and Sanlang of the Mu family cry so badly? Did they be hurt by the thugs?!
The villagers followed Brother Wang's gaze and their eyes widened. What's going on?!
Then, they watched Li Da wave goodbye to Mingyue in amazement.
"Girl, remember to tell me if you have something to do. I will be there anytime."
When the ox cart was halfway, Aunt Wang looked around and confirmed that no one followed her before she dared to speak out. She pulled Mingyue's arm and asked, "No, what's going on? Why did the thug become your elder brother? Don't you be fooled by someone?"
When Brother Wang saw that Niu was walking steadily, he turned around and asked, "Mingyue, what's going on? Why are your two brothers crying like this? Look at these eyes, I'm afraid they will be swollen and unable to open tomorrow morning."
Mingyue briefly said what happened today and promised the person in the car, "I spent some money to buy medicine for my mother-in-law and husband today. Don't worry, the village chief has given me the bills of your families. I will pay back all the money I owe you tomorrow when I go back from the town."
Aunt Wang was still worried: "Child, where did you get so much money?"
Mingyue smiled and told her: "The ladies of the county magistrate like to eat spring bamboo shoots dug up early. We have made a lot of money today. We have already told his kitchen that some spring bamboo shoots and other mountain products. I will be able to pay back your money by delivering them before breakfast tomorrow. When you pay back your money, we will deliver vegetables to the county magistrate's family in the future. If you have money, we will make money together."
When I got home, the last ray of afterglow had disappeared from the setting sun.
When Mingyue and the others entered the yard, they saw the treated bamboo strips on the ground and the old lady Mu and Mu Yun who were sitting in the yard waiting for them.
Mrs. Mu noticed something wrong with her two sons at a glance, and hurried forward and pulled her two sons and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Who bullies you?"
Mu Yunkai also supported his weak body and walked to Mingyue. He looked up and down, and then he felt relieved when he saw that she was not injured. "Are you in trouble?"
Mu Yuntian rushed to explain, "It's okay. Mom, brother, we are so hungry. We ate a steamed bun at noon. Is the meal ready? Have you eaten now!"
Mu Yunhe felt very shameless and went into the house silently to wash.
Mrs. Mu didn't believe it was okay, so she pulled Mingyue into the kitchen, "I've cut all the dishes and the noodles are ready, but Dalang didn't let me cook, saying that you cook deliciously. If you cook, I'll set you up the fire. Tell me, what's wrong?"
At this time, Mu Yunkai also moved into the kitchen.
Faced with the puzzled and worried eyes of the two, Mingyue could only say what happened today again.
Mrs. Mu wiped her tears, "Oh, as long as he knew he was wrong."
But Mu Yunkai stared at Mingyue for a moment, "Did you recognize him as your brother?"
Mingyue replied while doing biangbiang, "Yes, others are pretty good."
Mu Yunkai felt a strong sense of crisis inexplicably.
