Chapter 185
"Daughter-in-law," Mu Yao immediately explained upon hearing Su Dai's misunderstanding, "I'm not talking about you, but Liu Hui. Every time she comes to our house, people hate her so much."

If it wasn't for being unable to fight with women, he would have been thrown out the door long ago.

"You may be prejudiced against her," Su Dai expressed her feelings, "She looks difficult to get along with, but after getting in touch with her, you will find that this girl is actually very angry."

"Protecting her like that?" Mu Yao said in a sour tone, "She's only missing one, how could she be as good as you said?"

"Why do you eat all kinds of jealousy?" Su Dai was speechless, "Can she still give you a cuckold as a girl?"

"She can introduce others when she can't herself," Mu Yao snorted coldly, "Liu Hui's mind has never been normal, who knows what she will think."

"Why don't you just write a book if you're so good at editing?" Su Dai couldn't help pinching his waist, "Forget it, go to bed quickly, there are still many things to do tomorrow."

"That's right," Mu Yao actively took off his clothes, "The spring snack is short, so it's too unpleasant to keep mentioning her!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled his wife into bed with one hand, and then...

The next day, Su Dai woke up rubbing her red and swollen eyes.

"Mother," Nan Zai was puzzled, "Father said you are too tired and told me not to make noise, will you be tired when you sleep?"

Sleep is not tired, sleep is tired!
Being stared at by her son's ignorant and innocent eyes without blinking, Su Dai's cheeks became hot, "I had a nightmare, so my whole body is weak and weak, it has nothing to do with sleeping."

"So that's how it is," Nan Zai suddenly realized, "No wonder it scared my mother to tears."

Hearing this, Su Dai immediately covered her face with her hands.

It's all because Mu Yao's dog is better than a man, he seems like he hasn't eaten meat in 800 years, everyone said take it easy and don't go too far, or...

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized something, "Son, isn't your father at home?"

"He's back to the village, don't worry, come back for lunch."

"Well," Su Dai recalled that Mu Yao had indeed told her about this last night, "He went to give money to the village."

"Why?" Nan Zai suddenly asked, "Those people in the village are not good, why should we give him our family's money?"

Nan Zai has always had resentment in his heart, towards the old house, towards Xixia Village.

Although life in the town healed the pain, the wound in my heart was not so easy to heal.

In addition, children always have a clear distinction between black and white, so they don't understand their parents' behavior very much.

"It's not for the villagers." Su Dai patted his son's head, signaling him not to get too excited. "It's for building the ancestral hall and changing houses for the ancestors."

Although she didn't show it usually, Su Dai is actually quite grateful to the ancestors of the Mu family, especially the Mucang lineage.

Being tossed and pulled out by my own family didn't turn my face, and I didn't entrust a dream.

Such a talkative ancestor must treat them better, so that they won't feel bad when they use them in the future.

"It turned out to be building an ancestral hall," Nan Zai didn't hesitate for a moment, "Dad is really, just make it clear earlier!"

Although it was Su Dai's ambiguity, Nan Zai still blamed Mu Yao for his partiality.

"Nan Zai," Su Dai squatted down, and asked her son seriously, "Do you hate Xixia Village, or the people in Xixia Village?"

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course there is."

"I hate the people in Xixia Village. Of course, not all of them. It's just those who scold their mothers, short-lived ghosts, fathers, bastards, and my little bastards,"

After a pause, Nan Zai continued, "I don't like those people who watch jokes and stand on the sidelines, but I don't resent them. They just don't meddle in their own business. It's human nature to be cold."

After all, he was that kind of person himself.

Denying this group of people is tantamount to denying yourself.

"That's okay," Su Dai breathed a sigh of relief, "In the future, if you don't want to go back to Xixia Village, don't force yourself. I will communicate with your father."

She was really afraid that Xixia Village would become the shadow of her son for the rest of her life.

Fortunately, not to this extent.

"No, I don't want to go back," Nan Zai said honestly, "Every time I wander around the village, those who have scolded me look ugly, envious and aggrieved, which is quite interesting."

Su Dai stared at the sky speechlessly.

What's wrong with this?
"Forget it, as long as you don't do bad things!"

That's all Su Dai asked of her son.

As for the rest, let him have fun.

"I won't do anything bad."

Hearing this, Su Dai was very relieved. Just as the corners of her mouth curled up, Nan Zai added, "I promise that no one will find out if I do it."

Immediately, the smile froze, "Son, what did you just say? I don't seem to have heard..."

Feeling the crisis, Nan Zai immediately corrected his attitude, "Mother, I said I will be a good person in the future."

"That's about the same, but," the voice changed, Su Dai taught, "It's fine to be a good person, and you won't live long."

"I also think," Nan Zai thinks deeply, "the world has too many demands on good people, and they will be exhausted to death."

"Don't be a bad person, there is no good end, just be an ordinary person, you can have selfish intentions, and you don't have to bear the shackles."

"Yeah, I will!"

After the mother and son finished talking about this topic, they began to work on their own.

On the other side, after Mu Yao of the patriarch's family made the request, the patriarch Mu was so surprised that he spit out tea, "You don't want to build an ancestral hall?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"It's still busy farming, and everyone in the village is busy plowing the fields, so there's no time to do this."

"I know, don't worry," Mu Yao pushed a bank note over, "Just renovate the ancestral hall before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Then what are you urging now?" Patriarch Mu glared at his nephew angrily, "I'll talk about it when the time comes, anyway, it's only ten days and a half months."

Mu Yao touched his nose.

In fact, he chose this time specially, not wanting to let the village get any advantage.

Later, I felt that I was too petty to change my mind.

Coughing lightly, he explained solemnly, "I've been very busy recently, and I won't be back for quite a while. With the money, I will build four courtyards after the ancestral hall is built. It doesn't need to be in the village, just near the foot of the mountain."

"There are so many demands, is the money enough?" Patriarch Mu opened the bank note, and immediately widened his eyes, "1000 taels, where did you get it? Is it your daughter-in-law's dowry?"

After finishing speaking, he looked critically at Mu Yao.

Having a good-looking face is an advantage, and eating soft rice is delicious!

If I knew this earlier, I also...

Mu Yao acquiesced to this statement, "If there is any left after finishing all these, just stay in the village and offer some good incense to the ancestors on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year."

"The ancestors don't need to eat so good when they have dry bones." Patriarch Mu rubbed his hands, looking expectant, "Boy Yao, the roads in the village are bumpy and difficult to walk, don't you think..."

Mu Yao: ...

I thought he was the only one who used his ancestor as a tool, but it turned out that this was the originator.

Good guy, you are so insane that you directly grab rations!

"It's up to you," Mu Yao said indifferently, "as long as you're not afraid that they'll settle accounts with you in the middle of the night."

"That's not enough," Patriarch Mu suddenly felt guilty, "Usually I don't treat them badly!"
