Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chen Mo took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it. Things had already happened and couldn't be changed. So just follow your heart.

He squatted down, touched Song Min's head, and said with a smile: "Min'er, can you follow me from now on?"

Song Min did not agree immediately, but after looking at Liu Shu, she whispered: "Will Brother Mo also not want me in the future?"

"Min'er is so obedient, why would Brother Mo not want you, and your Sister Han also likes you very much." Chen Mo said warmly.

"Yes." Song Min nodded, and then said: "I will be very obedient and will serve Brother Mo and Sister Han well."

"Min'er is so good." Chen Mo pinched Song Min's face.

When Liu Shu, who was lying on the ground, saw this, his eyes moved, and he immediately got up and said, "If Min'er is not good, Mo Ge'er can teach her a lesson, and she will become obedient after a few beatings."

Chen Mo's eyes moved to Liu Shu, and the smile on his face disappeared: "You don't need to say anything about this, just take care of yourself."

"That is, that is."

Liu Shu smiled and rubbed his hands, saying: "Since you asked Min'er to be your maid, you are buying her, then this"

"How much do you want?" Chen Mo interrupted him directly.

"Twelve taels." Liu Shushi opened his mouth wide and said through gritted teeth.

"Um?!"

"No, five taels, five taels is enough." Liu Shu felt that Chen Mo should be able to afford this price, after all, his family had a lot of meat and fish every day.

"Five taels? Liu Shu, are you crazy about money?" Zhang He couldn't help but say.

"Half money, come to my house and get it."

Chen Mo made the final decision.

It's not that he can't afford five taels of silver, but giving five taels of silver to someone like Liu Shu is a complete waste.

Besides, in today's world, as long as he has food, he can find several better maids than Song Min.

He has money, but he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

And if it weren't for the guilt for the Song family, Liu Shu was Song Min's biological father, and Chen Mo wouldn't even want to give him half the money.

As for Liu Shu’s dissatisfaction?

Is it a competition to see whose fist is bigger?

Liu Shu was naturally unconvinced, even though the price was similar to the price of the brothel that Qiao Ruffian said.

But Chen Mo, you are from the same village, and you only give me this little money. Are you embarrassed?

Aren't you afraid that word will get out and the villagers will say something about you?

But seeing the knife in Chen Mo's hand, Liu Shu could only agree.

go home.

Chen Mo asked Liu Shu to wait outside, then called Han Anniang out of the cellar, briefly told her about Song Min, and asked her to take Song Min to take a bath.

Han Aniang was a kind-hearted person. When she heard this, she was immediately full of sympathy for Song Min and accepted Song Min in her heart.

Chen Mo took half the money out of the house and gave it to Liu Shu. In order to stop him from seeking benefits from Song Min, he also took a pen and paper and wrote down the contract.

After he finished adjourning, he said: "Since you sold Song Min to me, she will be my maid from now on and has nothing to do with you. I allow you to see her, but don't think of getting anything from me through her again." Get some benefit.

Do you understand what I said? "

"Brother Mo is talking to you. You are deaf, right?" Seeing Liu Shu didn't speak, Zhang He glared at him fiercely.

"I know, I know." Liu Shu said.

"Then why are you still here, waiting for me to let you have lunch?" Chen Mo's eyes were cold.

Liu Shu accepted the money and left quickly.

…

Ten days later, it was late February.

The weather is getting warmer.

In the morning, as Chen Mo pierced the ground with a shovel, the tunnel connecting the Chen family and Zhanghe was opened.

In fact, the tunnel could be opened two days ago. Just to support the load-bearing of the tunnel, Chen Mo went up the mountain to cut some wood and brought it back for support.

Thanks to Chen Mo's intimidating power in the village, and the fact that he didn't deal with the people in the village very much, he gave people a feeling that it was difficult to get along with him. Except for Han Aniang, Song Min and the Zhang family, no one was involved in digging tunnels. knew.

After covering the entrance, return to the Chen family cellar through the tunnel.

After coming out of the cellar, Han Aniang had already prepared lunch.

Song Min helped Han Anniang serve the food. After the bowls of food were served, Song Min quickly went to get chopsticks and brought warm water for Chen Mo to wash his hands and face.

Chen Mo stepped forward to help.

Song Min is indeed very well-behaved. Since she came, she has done all the small things at home, such as washing clothes, sweeping the floor, and even collecting and folding clothes. If Han An hadn't seen her because she was young and couldn't bear it, she would also do things like cooking, boiling water, and even She would take care of everything like warming the bed.

In short, after Song Min came, she shared a lot of housework for Han Anniang, and she was so sensible and heartwarming.

The only bad thing was that when Chen Mo and Han Aniang discussed the philosophy of life in the evening, Han Aniang couldn't let go. She covered her mouth and stopped singing, and she stopped cooperating with some movements.

After all, earthen houses like the Chen family are not soundproof at all. Song Min lives in the room where Han Anniang used to live, right next door, so it is easy to hear.

Han Anniang's temperament is still very shy.

"Sister Han's."

"Brother Mo's."

"This belongs to Brother Shui."

Song Min helped the three of them fill the bowls of rice.

"Thank you Min'er." Han Aniang's eyes narrowed, and she smiled and touched Song Min's little head.

"You're welcome, eat quickly."

After working hard all afternoon, Chen Mo just wanted to eat.

Chen Mo directly grabbed a piece of smoked pork with his hands and started to chew on it.

The Chen family is currently not short of meat. Except for the necessary staple food, Chen Mo has almost all the money he got from the Qinghe Gang used to buy meat, which is then processed by pickling, smoking, etc. and stored in the cellar. .

There are only twenty taels of silver left for spare use.

The next day, just as Chen Mo was about to go to the city to inquire about the latest news, Wu Shan came, and he came alone.

Wu Shan came specifically to see Chen Mo this time.

As soon as he entered the room, Wu Shan said: "Brother Chen, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened."

Chen Mo quickly asked Wu Shan to sit down and asked Han Anniang to make tea.

After pouring the tea, Wu Shan took a sip of tea and did not speak immediately, but glanced around.

Chen Mo asked Han Anniang to take Song Min into the house. Because the tunnel was dug, Zhang He would not be at his house today.

After that, Chen Mo closed the doors and windows again, sat down opposite Wu Shan, and said, "Brother Wu, what happened?"

Wu Shan put down his teacup, straightened his body, and said in Chen Mo's ear: "Last night, the Yamen received an urgent message from Nanyang. The rebels in the North have captured Fuyou City. The Qingzhou Army has lost the first battle. Ji The rebels in Zhouzhou and Gaozhou have approached Fengxian, and there are not enough troops in the front. The magistrate has ordered the recruitment of troops, and Pingting County has lost 500 places."
