Chapter 161 Is It Really Okay to Be Poor

Chapter 161 Is It Really Okay to Be Poor
Meng Baiyun didn't want to stay in Mujiazhai, but there were some things, and he didn't play his cards as he wanted.

No, she was arrested by the Xiushui gang just as she came down the mountain.

It was brought by the previous coachman.

A group of gangsters saw her come down from Mu's village intact, and they couldn't see Xue Yan, so they twisted her up.

A group of brainless people insisted on using their brains, so they created a scene with an open mind.

As soon as she delivered the baby, she became a gap between Mujiazhai lurking in the Xiushui Gang.

The identity of the midwife is false, and it is true that she was waiting for an opportunity to trick Xue Yan into Mu's village.

She is really helpless.

Is it easy for her to become a midwife?

For a while, he was regarded as the Xiushui gang by the people of Mujiazhai.

After a while, he was mistaken by the Xiushui Gang as the Mu Family Village.

She did have a mouth, but in front of a group of brainless, the explanation sounded like sophistry.

So just as she went down the mountain, she hadn't decided which way to go back to the city, but she was returned by the same way, and taken as a hostage to Mu's village.

The conditions are simple, one person for two.

It wasn't too much trouble, almost half an hour after the Xiushui gang caught her and made the request, Xue Yan and the child, who was unconscious and disheveled, were carried out.

With a substitution, Meng Baiyun returned to Mu's Village, and at present, it seems that Jinzhou is unlikely to go back, and Mu's Village has become the safest fortress.

In the middle of the night, Meng Baiyun was lying in the simple room, hearing what Aunt Fat said, this was the best room in Mujiazhai.

The quilts on her body were all thin, and she shivered from the cold in the middle of the night.

How could a group of bandits live such a poor life, Meng Baiyun was convinced.

The quilt was spread out, and the whole person was rolled into it, and then barely slept until dawn.

Unexpected peace of mind.

On the one hand, he had to guard against the people in Chang'an City chasing him, and on the other hand, he had to worry about his future life.

Although she herself has an easy-going personality, after all, she will not live alone in the future, and she is shrewdly planning what to do next day and night.

I have never thought of anything like last night and slept until dawn.

Maybe it's too cold just to think about it.

When I woke up in the morning, Meng Baiyun went to protest.

She has a casual attitude towards Xiao Gufeng: "You replaced me with Xue Yan, and now even if I tell the whole world that I am not, everyone in the Xiushui Gang must have recognized that I am from Mujiazhai. I can't go back to Jinzhou Yes, I have to stay with you, but I'm cold, prepare a thicker quilt for me at night."

Xiao Gufeng nodded: "Okay."

"Also, I'm not in good health now. I want to eat and drink well. I don't ask for delicacies from mountains and seas. I have to see meat every day."

"it is good."

Xiao Gufeng still followed her.

"It's winter, and my luggage is in Xiushui Gang. I probably won't be able to get it out. I need to buy some clothes."

"it is good."

He deserved it all for her.

In the past 18 years, what she encountered was all given by him.

These are just the basic requirements, he is for her, as it should be.

But Meng Baiyun didn't know that for the Mu family who couldn't get rid of the pot and already wanted to dig wild fruits and vegetables to feed their hunger, these basic requirements of hers had already made them burnt out and exhausted everything.

However, Xiao Gufeng issued an order to meet all of Meng Baiyun's demands unconditionally, and he was not allowed to complain, and he was not allowed to say a word of embarrassment in front of Meng Baiyun.

He is the absolute authority in Mujiazhai.

Meng Baiyun accepted everyone's kindness as a matter of course, until one day, she saw two children in the village desperately fighting the cold stream, and she kindly reminded her.

"You two, there are parasites in the stream, drinking so much raw water is not good for your health."

The young children were a little afraid of her, and said timidly, "But we are hungry."

"hungry!"

"I haven't eaten a grain of rice for several days, I'm really hungry."

The older child, skinny and weak in speech, showed a bit of hostility towards Meng Baiyun: "When you came, many people in our village were hungry, and even the head of the family, three meals a day, also cut back. One meal a day."

"What did you say?"

"Brother Xiaoyu, stop talking, the head of the family has ordered us not to say anything."

"I just said, I'm going to starve to death anyway, it's better to be executed by the head of the family, it will be more enjoyable." The big boy's eyes are full of grievances and resentment, "It's you, you want to make new clothes, you can only sell them in the warehouse I will make new clothes for you from the food used in the winter in the village. You are cold, and the head of the family gave you his only quilt. If you want meat for three meals, we can only go out to find game for you every day. What do you want today? Eat this and eat that tomorrow, every mouthful is saved from our mouths, and Mrs. Xue was arrested, and maybe you can ask the Xiushui Gang to get back the 3 taels of silver that blackmailed us. Now, for you, let people If you let them all go, you are not a good person."

In Meng Baiyun's previous life and this life, he has never been pointed at by anyone and scolded for being a bad person.

But the girl in the child's mouth, she suddenly felt that she was not a good person.

She never knew that the life she took for granted now was actually created for her by so many people who tried their best to cut down on food and clothing.

Really...

So fucking poor.

She only made two thick winter suits, still cotton and not brocade.

She also only added a quilt.

She didn't know that the so-called three meals had meat. A pheasant had to be cooked for her ten times, which meant that it was a bit meaty.

Oh my god.

It's a failure to be a bandit for this sake. Who are they worthy of?

No wonder, the entire Golden State has become the Xiushui Gang's world, and the Mujiazhai can't even eat the bit that the Xiushui Gang leaked from their jaws.

When Meng Baiyun returned to the room, he felt that he was a real father.

At noon, the fat aunt came to deliver the meal.

A piece of chicken neck, a chicken leg, a bowl of rice mixed with white and yellow, and a wild vegetable.

The conscience of heaven and earth, with this way of eating, it is going to destroy a Mu family village, and a child who eats it resentfully and aggrievedly points at her nose and calls her a bad person.

Well, eating plain rice in the hands of her own father, she used to eat it with peace of mind, but now she can't even eat half a grain of rice. She always feels that every rice bowl is filled with the sad appearance of two hungry children drinking water.

"Aunt Fat, I'm not hungry anymore, you can distribute the food to the children in the village."

Fat Aunt was startled, then frowned: "Baiyun, did someone say something to you?"

"Does it need to be said? I saw it myself. The children are all hungry and the stream water is enough to satisfy their hunger. How can I eat any more?"

The fat aunt hurriedly comforted Meng Baiyun: "The children grow up and are not hungry. Don't think too much, eat quickly."

Still want to lie to her?
Do you think she doesn't feel guilty enough?

She had a serious face: "Fat aunt, tell me, what did your head of the family do? How can our village be so poor?"

The fat aunt knew that she couldn't hide it, and sighed: "The rich people in Jinzhou City all moved into Taiping Street, and the poor people, the head of the family will not allow looting, and outsiders, who will come to Jinzhou?" We have no one to rob such a place, and we all live on the little things we robbed a few years ago, and after Xiaoai's incident, the village has become even poorer."

Meng Baiyun remembered this poor child, who was only 13 years old. Xiushui gang arrested her and demanded 3 taels of ransom, and finally tore up the ticket after getting the money.

"So tell me honestly, starting from today, how long can the surplus food in the village last for everyone?"

"This one……"

Aunt Fat hesitated, as if she was afraid that Meng Baiyun would be worried.

Seeing Meng Baiyun looking at her firmly, as if she insisted on asking for an answer, she finally said: "... To be honest, one meal per day is enough to get through this winter, but the clothes, bedding, etc. , none of these can be added.”

Let me wipe, isn't that the rhythm of not starving to death or freezing to death.

It is still autumn, and there is still some time before winter, Meng Baiyun's head is running fast.

Money, money, money, money is on her mind now.

She took 100 taels for Madam Yuan's delivery and put it in Baoyue Bank. The 100 taels won't do much for such a big village, but it is enough to buy a hundred taels of thick winter quilt.

She kept the money saving contract with her all the time, wrapped in a small sheepskin pouch and put it in her purse.

She stood up and took the small sheepskin bag that was put under the box: "Fat aunt, take it, and send someone trustworthy to Baoyue Bank to take out the money, and then buy some bedding for the big guy."

The fat aunt looked at it and waved her hands again and again: "Where can I get your money?"

"I still tell you to eat and drink. You are all starving to death and freezing to death. Who will serve me?"

Meng Baiyun is always cruel and kind.

Aunt Fat knew she was kind.

Right now, it’s almost winter, and it’s really frighteningly cold. Among other things, the quilt of the head of the family was given to Meng Baiyun. Buy a thick new quilt for the big head.

It's just that Mujiazhai has adopted more and more war orphans, and the clothes and bedding that were considered to be ample are no longer available now.

"Okay, I won't refuse anymore. I'll take it for emergency. In a few days, there will be an oiran competition at the Mandarin Duck House on Taiping Street. At that time, the rich sons from Jinzhou and Nanchu will definitely go to Xunfang, sir. The head of the family is planning, when the time comes, we will give it a go and get a big ticket."

"Taiping Street, the site of the Xiushui Gang and the garrisons of the two countries, if we go, isn't that courting death?"

"It can't be helped, I can't really starve to death."

It is true.

It's just: "Since so many rich young masters came that day, the Xiushui Gang will definitely protect the mandarin duck house to a watertight, even if a fly flies in, are you sure you want to do it someday?"

"Actually, let me tell you quietly that the Third Prince of Nanchu might also come that day. As long as he is caught, the Mu Family Village will not have to worry about it this winter."

Such a brave man, he dared to touch the prince of Nanchu.

Meng Baiyun has heard that this master is a well-known little overlord in Southern Chu.

His brother, who is now the warlike emperor of Southern Chu, loved him very much. He was used to being arrogant and pampered since he was a child, and never took anyone seriously.

No one dared to groan at him for the things he committed.

Even if he was beaten half to death by him, everyone had to praise him for his good boxing skills with a smile on his face.

Even if he took away the family heirloom, it must be said that he has good eyesight.
