Liu Boyu peeled the melon seeds like a small mountain, swept them into the palm of his hand, then opened his mouth with all his strength, poured it into his mouth, and began to chew hard.
After chewing, he drank some cold tea: "As long as the Mo family allows us to continue using the mules -"
He stopped peeling melon seeds, patted the dust on his hands, stretched out a finger and waved it in front of the Wu brothers: "How about ten thousand guan a year?"
Before Wu Jin made any move, Wu Yi had already opened his mouth: "Ten thousand strings!"
Ten thousand strings roared in Wu Yi's mind, and the lights in front of him glowed with golden light, dazzling him.
Wu Jin's voice almost reached Wu Yi's ears with all his strength. It was blurry at first, but gradually became clear.
"...Don't take the money from murder."
Liu Boyu stretched out his right hand and rubbed his face, and sighed in disappointment: "Actually, this is all scaremongering by outsiders. The mules are all homeless people. If we, the Liu family, don't take them in, let them be fed and clothed." Nuan, they have long been frozen to death, but we are actually doing good things."
Wu Jin sneered: "There is a Salesian Bureau in the city. If you are really kind-hearted, you can send them to the Salesian Bureau if you encounter cold-blooded people or beggars without clothes, and then give you money and rice for relief. It is better than having your flesh cut off and eaten, and you grind it." Bone pills.”
Liu Boyu sneezed coldly. The tea was already cold and there was no use drinking it. He rubbed his hands and stood up, stamping his stiff feet: "Don't talk about good and evil, for the sake of ten thousand guan, think about it for a few more days." Well, ten thousand yuan a year is enough to change the appearance of your family. Think about your parents and brothers, do they want to live a good life?"
When he walked to Wu Yi, he patted Wu Yi on the shoulder: "Really?"
Wu Yi asked him to shrink down, and a deafening reply sounded in his heart: "Yes."
He bit his lip tightly to prevent the sound from coming out of his heart.
"No need to send it away," Liu Boyu took Liu Bowen with him, "I will come back to hear your reply on the 29th."
After that, he took his younger brother and left the Wu family, leaving only a table full of melon seed rinds.
"Brother..." Wu Yi glanced at Wu Jin quietly, then stepped forward to put away the tea cups, "Brother, what will happen if you don't agree?"
To be fair, Liu Boyu was very polite tonight. Although what he said was wrong, he also spoke softly and had the intention of making money by being friendly. But Wu Yi just felt that if Wu Jin didn't agree, Liu Boyu would definitely make this new year difficult for them.
Wu Jin swept the skin of the melon seeds: "Did you do anything wrong and put the blame in Liu Bowen's hands?"
Wu Yi's face turned pale and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, Liu Bowen and I were together, just playing... I didn't do anything else..."
He confusedly stated that he was innocent, and finally shuddered: "Will they make us into mules?"
Wu Jin shook his head: "No."
With Mo Lefeng's warning, the Liu family would not do such a thing.
Wu Yi still had many questions to ask, but he didn't dare to say a single word to Wu Jin. It wasn't until Wu Jin went back to read that he sneaked into the main room and snuggled next to Wu's mother: "Auntie, ten thousand guan." Isn’t that a lot?”
Wu's mother worked hard to make linings for the two brothers: "That's not true. I heard that the Jeju bandits demanded a ransom of tens of thousands of dollars, and the envoy Mojiedu pulled dozens of carriages to load it."
Wu Yi held his cheek and sighed: "It would be great if we had ten thousand guan. In a word, ten thousand guan."
Mother Wu buried her head and bit off the thread and put away the fine cloth: "Why are you so crazy? Then what did brother Liu Bowen say to your brother?"
Wu Yi didn't answer, still thinking about how much candy ten thousand guan could buy.
Wu Jin did not hesitate at all about this Wan Guan. Facing the light, he wrote: "On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-second year of Yuan Zhang, we sacrificed to the stove.
It was a pity that Cheng Ting did not bring his friends. His right hand recovered and he was diagnosed and treated by Li Yitie. Fortunately, he did not feel any stiffness.
My father's scooter is also ready today. Since my father's legs were broken, today is the happiest day for him. This is how a filial son should be raised, happy with his heart and not against his will.
At the beginning of the year, Liu Bowen's brother came to visit and asked me to intercede for him. He was disgusted. Liu Boyu first bowed and then sent troops, but he didn't know what soldiers were. He also said that he would come back on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. This year would be sad. "
After tonight, the whole New Year atmosphere in Kuanzhou became more and more intense. Even the schools in the state were on holiday. The streets were full of children setting off cannons. Wu Yi gradually put his fear behind him and couldn't restrain his playfulness. I begged Mother Wu to buy baskets of firecrackers and set off "ground rats" in the yard every night.
He also heard that there were many fireworks launched from Luoshui Pier, including flying stars, water explosions, and even racks. The city would be lively on New Year's Eve, so he was eager to wait until New Year's Eve to see the excitement.
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the children of each family don't go out and hang out, they only play at home. Cheng Ting and Mo Lingfeng don't go out.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was snowing heavily. At the beginning of Haishi, Liu Boyu came again with his younger brother.
Sitting in Wu Jin's compartment without a fire, the Liu brothers' teeth chattered with cold and they couldn't say a single sentence.
The hot tea was brought to the table from the kitchen. Liu Boyu picked it up and took a sip. It was already warm, but when he drank it again, it was cold.
The stool under my buttocks was a long bench with neither armrests nor backrest cushions. Sitting on it, a chill ran down my spine all the way to the Tianling Cap, and even my soul shrank.
Liu Boyu looked at Wu Jin, who had a normal expression and was sitting upright, and thought to himself: "He is a ruthless person."
He had originally prepared countless sweet words to persuade Wu Jin to submit, but Leng's face turned blue, his lips turned purple, and his tongue was also knotted. He couldn't say a few words, so he could only speak frankly: "What are you thinking about?" Already?"
Wu Jin said simply and concisely: "I won't go."
Liu Boyu sniffed and stopped talking. He took out a piece of rice paper from his arms and tried to spread it out. However, his hand froze and he had to hand it to Wu Jin.
"It's a pity that we can't be friends. Let's just settle the bill clearly. This is one of your brother's expenses for eating, drinking and having fun in the past two years."
Wu Yi heard this, and her heart skipped a beat. She saw Wu Jin taking the rice paper and spreading it under the oil lamp. He quickly looked over and saw the words written on it: "On the first day of September in the 20th year of Yuan Zhang, Liu Bowen and Wu Yi went to the Yan Pavilion and had a meal together, including wine, food, tea and music. The total money was fifty-eight guan, Wu Yi's was 29 guan."
Wu Yi suddenly grabbed the paper and continued reading.
"On the third day of September in the 20th year of Yuan Zhang, Shangyang Horse Farm rented a high-quality horse for Wu Yi, Manchuanhua, for two bucks."
"On the third day of September in the 20th year of Yuan Zhang, I ate mutton and honey at a shop at the foot of Heshan Mountain in the northwest of the city. The total money was 800 Wen, and Wu Yi was 400 Wen."
"On the first day of October in the 20th year of the Yuan Dynasty, I watched the red rocks in Xiongshi Gorge. I had food in the temple, thirty coins of money, and fifteen coins of Wu Yi."
"On the first day of October in the 20th year of Yuan Zhang, three pieces of candies are given, four pieces in total."
There are so many zeros and zeros in total, they are countless, and they are recorded in detail, and not a penny is left behind.
He shivered as the piece of paper vibrated, and the blood all over his body rushed to his head, and his face was so red that it almost bled.
"Liu Bowen, you invited me for this, why do you ask me for money instead?"
Liu Bowen was shivering from the cold, his teeth were rattling, and he couldn't say many words. He only said: "I never said to invite you."
