Chapter 77
Carpenter Liu covered his head, "Bah, bah, bah," a few times, "What are you talking about, don't talk nonsense."

Mother Liu glared at him and stopped talking.

Carpenter Liu clicked his tongue, and sighed again, "You just can't recognize the reality, think about it, Xue Zhiqing is from the city, how can the city people look at the rural people.

Hukou is so tight in the city now, who doesn't want to crawl in alone, but look at those urban people, do you think highly of rural people?Look down upon.

Even if you don't say anything on the surface, you still reject it in your heart. This kind of life when you don't belong to the right family is full of suffering. "

Carpenter Liu started smoking again and reasoned, "It's best to get married in the right family. Only in this way can you be happy. You ladies and gentlemen have long hair but short knowledge."

Liu Mingyuan: "..." He was very speechless, he is not a woman.

But his father's words also made him sober up a lot. In terms of family background, he is really not as good as Xue Ning, and the gap between them is not as big as usual.

In his eyes, there is really no man who can match Xue Ning.

Since this is the case, Mu Chengcheng is even more unworthy.

Mu Chenghe definitely can't marry Xue Ning, even if they can fall in love now, it will be very difficult to get together in the end.

Hmph, Mu Chenghe is the bastard, Xue Ning is just dazzled by love now, when she wakes up, she will definitely turn around and leave without hesitation.

At that time, even if Mu Chenghe cried like a dog, he would not sympathize with him.

The unrequited love that Liu Mingyuan had just started ended like this, and he still had to be sad for a long time.

Days passed, and it was Sunday again.

In the past few days, Mu Chenghe has been running up the mountain, Xue Ning rarely sees his people.

She had the illusion that she had less time to meet after admitting her relationship.

On Sunday, Mu Chenghe went up the mountain again early in the morning.

Not long after he left, there was a loud noise at the gate of the courtyard.

"Mu Chenghe, come out for me. If you don't speak clearly today, I won't finish with your family."

Mu Chenghe was no longer at home, and Mu Yu went out to play, so Father Mu was the only one left at home.

When Father Mu heard the sound, he quickly got off the bed, opened the door slowly and walked outside.

At the gate of the courtyard, the captain's wife was making trouble.

"What's going on here?"

When Father Mu walked into the yard, the captain's wife rushed in, holding a bag of flour in her hand.

"I said that people in your family really know how to plan and take advantage of my family when I'm not at home. Are you easy to bully when you're an old lady? I'm afraid you are poor and crazy!"

Father Mu's expression was very ugly, with a straight face, he asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what you are talking about, why did our family take advantage of your family?"

The captain's daughter-in-law had her hands on her hips, looking like a shrew cursing the streets.

"Don't pretend to be confused here. Your family's Mu Chenghe exchanged such a little flour for our family's catty of brown sugar. How did you do such a thing?"

A few days ago, she had something to do with her natal family, so she went back to her natal family.

When he came back, he found that the brown sugar was missing, so he twisted his man's ear and asked.

The captain then talked about Mu Chenghe's exchange for brown sugar.

The captain's daughter-in-law quit immediately, took a few catties of flour that Mu Chenghe gave her family, and went to Mu's house to make trouble.

Father Mu frowned, why didn't he know that Mu Chenghe had changed to brown sugar?Never heard of it!
The captain's daughter-in-law continued to scold, "I don't care, we don't want to change this thing, you hurry up and give me back a catty of brown sugar, I don't want your flour. Huh, now who doesn't know that brown sugar is expensive and brown sugar is hard to buy, you really It’s a shame to exchange such a little thing, shameless.”

Father Mu's face turned blue and red, and he felt ashamed. Many villagers outside the yard rushed over to watch the excitement, which made him feel even more embarrassed.

"My family Chenghe is not at home, I will ask him when he comes back."

"I don't have the time to waste time with you, hurry up and exchange it for me, you won't be eating all the brown sugar!"

"I haven't seen any brown sugar, I don't know."

The captain's daughter-in-law must not agree with this answer, she laughed until she rolled her eyes to the sky, and shouted at the onlookers outside the courtyard.

"Look at the people in this family! Using such a little flour for a catty of brown sugar in my family is not taking advantage of something. I was surprised. This family is so poor that they can't get rid of the pot, and they still want to exchange brown sugar for food. , as expected, the lazy man will only get poorer and poorer if he has no surplus food in his family!"

Those who watched the excitement were those who looked down on the Mu family and Mu Chenghe.

They were all laughing crazily.

Father Mu didn't easily quarrel with women, but today he was really angry.

"Zhang Xiaolan, your words are too harsh. I told you that I don't know what brown sugar is. I have to wait until my son comes back to talk about it. Why are you so cruel and unreasonable?"

"It's you guys taking advantage of my family, so I can't be unreasonable. It's not wrong for me to return the brown sugar. If you can't give me the brown sugar today, it's fine. Just give me another three catties of flour and I won't care about it."

"Auntie, aren't you making trouble more unreasonably?"

Xue Ning squeezed into the yard from the crowd, walked up to the captain's wife, and glanced at her with a sneer.

She looked at the flour in her hand again.

"You said that the Mu family took advantage of you, so let me prove for you whether this little flour is worth a catty of brown sugar. Auntie, I happen to have a scale. Let me weigh it for you to see if it's okay, and let everyone see this." Is the deal worthwhile?"

The captain's daughter-in-law looked at Xue Ning warily with a cold face.

I don't know whether she has good intentions or wants to make a paste.

After thinking about it, he still passed the flour to Xue Ning, after all, with so many people watching, it was hard for her not to give it.

"Then you can weigh it! Anyway, I won't wrong them."

Xue Ning took the flour bag, hung it on a hook in front of everyone, and scaled it for everyone to see.

"Well, very good, no more, no less, 5 catties, 2 taels, Auntie, this flour is enough for a catty of brown sugar! In the current market situation, a catty of ordinary flour can be sold for 2 cents, but this flour is obviously fine grain , there are almost no pebbles and chaff husks in it. Flour of this quality can be sold for 3 to 4 cents!

As for brown sugar, the best one is only one yuan per catty, one catty of brown sugar is one yuan, and five catties of fine flour can be bought for one yuan, five to two yuan.
And Auntie, forget about your bad attitude just now, and want to ask for another three catties of flour, aren't you just taking advantage of it?Auntie, you are the one who is unreasonable this time, you have to apologize to Uncle Mu. "

The captain's daughter-in-law couldn't believe it, and looked at the number on the scale seriously. It was really 5 catties and 2 taels.

She didn't weigh the bag when she took it away from home, and she subconsciously felt that Mu Chenghe was a sneaky and sneaky person, and he would definitely not give too much flour.

Naturally, I didn't look carefully at the quality of the flour.

Who would have believed that the Mu family would have refined grains.

Her food is not as good.

The captain's wife immediately snatched the flour from Xue Ning, and looked at Xue Ning viciously.

This man really came to make paste.

"How could there be fine grain in his house? I must have taken it wrong."

Father Mu explained speechlessly, "I am in poor health. Cheng He was afraid that I would not be able to eat the grains that were full of pebbles and chaff, so he tried his best to buy fine grains for me. I still have fine grains and flour in the cupboard. If you don't believe me , just go and see for yourself.”

The captain's daughter-in-law choked and felt a little ashamed.

Unreasonably making trouble, "Anyway, I don't care, you can either give me another three catties of grain today, or return the brown sugar."

The captain hurried over at this time, and whispered to his wife, "You are enough, don't embarrass yourself here, I want to exchange this brown sugar for them, go back quickly."

The captain is going to pull his wife.

His daughter-in-law has a sturdy body and great strength, so she directly threw off the captain.

"Why, you idiot gave things to outsiders while my mother was back at her mother's house, are you still a man? You can't give away things from our house. Anyway, I just want brown sugar today. If I can't give it to you, I will I will only give up if I give three catties of flour."

The captain was so angry that the veins in his temples throbbed violently, and there was nothing he could do about her.

"Auntie, the brown sugar you want is here."

Xue Ning took out a pack of brown sugar from his pocket, and weighed it for the captain's wife in front of her.

"Auntie, it's just a catty of brown sugar, no more, no less."

Xue Ning handed the brown sugar to the captain's wife, and said, "It's like this. I didn't feel well a few days ago, so I asked Mu Chenghe to help me change the brown sugar. I didn't expect you to react so strongly, so I must not dare to eat it. I have no choice but to return the sugar to you. Auntie, I haven’t touched the brown sugar in it at all, so you have to check it.”

Fortunately, she had some brown sugar at home before, and she ate some of the brown sugar Mu Chenghe gave her, so she added it with her own brown sugar, which was exactly one catty.

The captain's daughter-in-law looked at Xue Ning strangely, and quickly opened the wrapping paper to check the brown sugar.

He muttered, "Why do I look at something wrong with brown sugar, this is probably not the best brown sugar in our family."

Xue Ning didn't say anything, the captain couldn't take it anymore.

He warned, "You've had enough, don't be ashamed, go home as soon as you get the brown sugar, it belongs to our family, I gave it to Chenghe myself, could it be fake."

The captain's daughter-in-law rolled her eyes at the captain, "You know what, some people have a bad heart and will mix sand in brown sugar."

Xue Ning said, "Who would do that kind of immoral thing? People are kind-hearted now, but they can't do things that are too stingy."

The captain's daughter-in-law felt that Xue Ning was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, "I heard people in the village say that you have a good mouth, and now it seems that I really can't underestimate you. Why do you scold me? Now it's your fault, you ruined the brown sugar. No, I don’t want it anymore, hurry up and pay me three catties of white flour.”

Now she has taken a fancy to the fine white flour of Mu Chenghe's family.

The captain couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand and slapped his wife's face, "Didn't you hear me when I told you to stop talking? Come back quickly and stop pestering me."

The captain's daughter-in-law covered her face in disbelief, "How dare you hit me, okay you, just wait for me, I'm going to find someone to deal with you."
