A week later, when the second generation of Hokage Tomona was vigorously preparing for the establishment of a new school, the periphery of Muye Village was in full swing to cultivate new fields and carry out new infrastructure construction.

On the wasteland, Mu Chuanze, the patriarch of the Muchuan clan, a former local wealthy family, was digging the fields with a hoe in his forehand.

Mu Chuanze had never done these tasks before, and he had hardly even seen them.

When he was escorted to Konoha just now, Mu Chuanze thought that the only fate waiting for him was death.

But Konoha's punishment for him was beyond his expectations. The Fourth Hokage did not kill him. After confiscating the Muchuan family's property and land, they were sentenced to labor reform for ten years. If they performed well, Also reduces time.

Faced with this result, Mu Chuanze, who couldn't bear the humiliation, was planning to die. In his opinion, letting him do the work of those untouchables is simply an insult greater than death.

That night, Mu Chuanze attempted to commit suicide, and he obtained a shattered piece of a sharp porcelain bowl from his former subordinate.

Putting the pieces of the porcelain bowl against his neck, Mu Chuanze stopped the moment his skin was cut.

It wasn't that he was reluctant, but that he found that it was too painful and he couldn't do it at all.

It turns out that death is such a painful thing!

Mu Chuanze, who failed to commit suicide, silently threw the piece of porcelain bowl on the ground and buried it in the soil.

Back in the wooden house that Konoha arranged for them, looking at his wife who was washed with tears and his son who kept crying, Mu Chuanze made a decision in his heart, he should live first! At least for his wife and son.

After figuring it out, Mu Chuanze no longer passively resisted Konoha's reform through labor. He was in his early thirties and had drunk nutritional potions. He had a good learning ability. It took him two days to initially master the skills of working.

Mu Chuanze's wife was sent to Konoha's new women's workshop to learn how to weave fabrics.

This young noble couple, with good academic ability, was recognized by the Konoha villagers who monitored their work and the disabled ninja who was reemployed, so they were able to stay in this labor camp.

Compared with some aristocrats who are passive, slacking off at work, unwilling to study, and gathering crowds to make trouble, their family can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

At least they were not sent to mining areas with harsher conditions, or became experimental materials for scientific research institutes.

After seven o'clock in the evening, Mu Chuanze, who had completed today's labor task, walked wearily towards the residence with the coarse grains, steamed buns and pickled vegetables distributed by Konoha in his hand.

Walking outside the simple wooden house, Mu Chuanze, who was not close to the door, heard the cry of a child from inside the house.

Pushing open the wooden door, Mu Chuanze saw his angry wife beating his son with a wooden stick.

"Ji Yue, what's wrong?" Mu Chuanze asked, frowning as he walked into the room and closed the wooden door.

Seeing her husband coming back, Ji Yue, who also came from a noble family, threw away the wooden stick in her hand and tidied up her appearance in a panic.

Walking in front of her husband, Ji Yue said with an uneasy expression, "Your Majesty, he took the food we accumulated in the past few days and exchanged it for two pieces of rice cakes."

The anger in his heart was quickly extinguished by the cold water of guilt and shame. With deep apologies, Mu Chuanze looked at his son who was curled up in a corner with his head bowed and crying, and then at the tired-looking son in front of him. wife.

Two pieces of rice cake! In the past, if honey was not added, the son would not even take a look at such a crude pastry, and would throw it to the servants or feed it to the dogs directly.

"Yes, I'm sorry for you!" Mu Chuanze was extremely ashamed.

Stepping forward to hug her husband, Ji Yue held back her tears and said, "As long as we are still alive, we will get better and better in the future!"

Patting his wife on the back, Mu Chuanze looked into the corner and secretly looked up at his son.

Seeing that his father had noticed him, Mu Chuanzheng immediately lowered his head, both aggrieved and scared!

"I don't have much appetite today, you guys eat these!"

The food stored at home was replaced by rice cakes by his son, and the food tonight was only what Mu Chuanze had in hand.

Hearing his father's words and looking at the food in his father's hands, Mu Chuan burst into tears.

"Father, I'm so hungry! I want to eat beef, I want to eat rice, I want to eat sweet fruit. I."

In the end, Mu Chuan also knew that his wish could not come true, so he could only continue crying.

At this moment, Mr. Mu Chuan missed the cakes and fruits he threw out of the carriage very much. If he could go back to the past, he would definitely eat them all!

"Gentleman, don't mess around! It's not like it used to be, we just..."

To stop his wife from saying some nasty things, Mu Chuanze helped his crying wife and walked to the wooden table in the middle of the room and sat down.

Putting the food on the wooden table, Mu Chuanze looked at his son and said in a calm tone: "My lord, sit here, I have something to tell you."

Raising his head and looking at his father in fear, Mu Chuan did not dare to move.

"Come here, I won't beat you!" Remaining calm and forcing out a smile, Mu Chuanze waved to his son.

Standing up slowly, Mu Chuanzhengren, who was just eleven years old this year, walked carefully and sat down opposite his father.

"Your Majesty, as a father, I'm sorry! It's my father's negligence to bring you and your mother down to where they are today." Looking at his son, Mu Chuanze said sincerely.

Sitting in his seat, Mu Chuanzhengren looked at his father, and then at his mother who was sobbing with her head bowed. He didn't speak, and didn't know what to say.

"Time can't be turned back, and things can't be undone. Now we can only face the present life. You used to be fun-loving, moody, impulsive, and have no perseverance! I saw all of these, and I wanted to bring you by my side , precepts and deeds, and gradually get rid of your problems."

Speaking of this, Mu Chuanze paused for a moment, sighed, and continued: "Now, we are precarious, and we can only barely make ends meet with the income we earn every day. The rest is from your mother and me. Save it. The saved food is to resist unknown risks, and to replace some paper and pens in the future so that you can continue to read and write.

This time you stole the surplus grain and exchanged it for rice cakes, I don’t blame you, but you can’t do it again, do you remember? "

Nodding quickly, Mu Chuanzheng said in shame: "Father, Mother, I won't do it anymore!"

Smiling in relief, Mu Chuanze continued: "Today, the ninja in charge found me, he."

Hearing that Konoha's ninja had found her husband, Ji Yue quickly raised her head with a worried look on her face.

Giving his wife a reassuring look, Mu Chuanze looked at his son again, and continued: "He told me that Konoha will establish a cultural school in the first half of next year, targeting common people and teaching them how to read and write. You are my son , is also a prisoner in a labor camp. According to regulations, after you reach the age of 12, you need to participate in labor reform.

But Konoha is willing to give us sinners a chance, as long as we work hard, be honest, and pass the review, we can change to some easy jobs, such as working as basic teachers in that cultural school.

The ninja in charge was very satisfied with our family's performance. He suggested to me that as long as we can maintain our current performance, he can recommend us to do things in the school.

Gentlemen, you can also work and study part-time. In the evening, you can teach literacy classes in night schools, and you can study and go to school during the day. "

With a happy expression on her face, Ji Yue heard the hope of changing her current life from her husband's words, and she grabbed her husband's right hand excitedly.

"Is this true? Ze!"

"Yes!" He was not 100% sure in his heart, but at this moment, Mu Chuanze still wanted to give his wife and son hope.

"Father, I will definitely study hard!" Mu Chuanzhengren doesn't understand such a big thing, but he understands one thing, as long as he behaves well and is educated, there is hope to leave here, and his father and mother will not be like this every day exhausted.

Holding the hands of his wife and son together and holding them tightly, Mu Chuanze looked at his wife and son, smiled and cheered and said, "Let's work together!"
