In fact, after Mu Linlong and Mu Liner left, Auntie Da thought for a long time in her room. She wasn't sure if it was right or wrong to take the gold coin. She just hoped that Yi Ke could go to the city of trial and make a name for himself. Then she stopped thinking about it. Maybe Niuniu's family really had extra gold coins! She owed them first and would work hard to earn it back to them.
"Yes, Niuniu said that when she and Xiaolong left the family, she took her mother's dowry and lent it to Yi Ke to pay for his school fees."
"Are you muddle-headed? The situation of the Mu siblings is even worse than ours. It's obvious that their family doesn't like them at all. Let's not talk about the two of them first. Why did they only take out the gold coins now? When they were hungry and sick, they didn't even bear to use it. If they take it out now, how will they live in the future?" Some time ago, Da Yi (Uncle Da) heard from his wife that Niuniu gave a gold coin to his wife to buy something. He didn't care about it.
"What should we do?"
"Forget it. Let's eat first. We'll return the gold coins later. Tomorrow, we'll go to other families and think of a way to save some money!"
After dinner, it was dark. They thought it was safer to come at night. That way, no one would think about the Mu siblings' gold coins. There were a few people in the village who didn't know their place.
"Uncle Da, this is really my mother's dowry. Don't worry and take it to pay for Brother Yi Ke's tuition." After hearing what Aunt Da said, Mu Lin 'er guessed that Uncle Da and the others were afraid of the gold coins.
"Niuniu, Uncle Da can't take your gold coins. You can keep them for yourselves!" Uncle Da put the gold coins in Mu Liner's hands politely.
Mu Linlong looked at all this. Although he was surprised, he knew nothing about the gold coins. His sister had said that his mother had secretly hidden her mother's dowry. Even though he didn't know, he didn't say anything. He didn't want to interrupt his sister's business.
"Uncle Da, my brother and I still have five gold coins." Mu Liner took out the five gold coins she had left today.
"Child, this …" Looking at his son's longing eyes and his wife's tears, Da Yi was moved.
"That's right, Uncle Da, we still have more." Seeing the shiny gold coins in his sister's hands, Mu Linlong also tried to persuade Uncle Da.
"Alright then. I'll write an IOU from the village chief tomorrow. I'll pay you back after I earn some gold coins." Uncle Da finally relented.
"Uncle Da, there's no need for that. Think about it, if you write an IOU, other people will know that I have gold coins to lend to you. What if I get robbed? My brother and I are not familiar with the people in the village. If we are bullied, we can only endure it. "The safety awareness rose again.
After much persuasion, Uncle Da finally agreed. But what everyone didn't expect was that before Yi Ke went home, he pulled Mu Liner and Mu Linlong and said, "Xiaolong, Niuniu, I, Yi Ke, will be your brother from now on. I will work hard to learn magic. When the time comes, I will be very good to you and protect you."
Uncle Da was very pleased with his son's sudden words. Auntie Da was also very satisfied. She saw that she had learned to be grateful.
"Brother Yi Ke, we all call you brother. You're already our brother, hehe." Mu Liner smiled at Yi Ke cutely.
However, Mu Linlong foolishly said, "Brother Yi Ke, remember to bring more delicious food for me and my sister in the future. Hehe."
Everyone laughed.
But the next day, when the Mu siblings were eating happily, a group of people outside banged on the door.
"Xiaolong, Niuniu, sob …" The noise outside the door was accompanied by Yi Ke's crying.
"Sister, I'll go open the door." Mu Linlong put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran out.
As soon as the door opened, Yi Ke ran in crying.
"Xiaolong, Niuniu, you lent me gold coins yesterday. When I went to teach the messenger this morning, Locke's son, Locke Fei, insisted that daddy went to his house to steal it at night. Fei insisted that Daddy went to his house to steal it at night. Sob sob, so they tied Daddy up. "Yi Ke didn't look like a big brother anymore. He was crying and his eyes were swollen.
Hearing this, Mu Liner asked her brother and Yi Ke to take her to the village head's house.
The courtyard of the village head's house didn't have high walls. So when the three of them arrived, Mu Liner saw that the courtyard was full of onlookers.
Some people even said, "How immoral! How could they steal Locke's gold coins?"
Indeed, Locke's family was jealous of Yi Ke's gold coins. A middle-aged woman pandered.
The people around them all knew Mu Liner and Mu Linlong. When they saw them, they made way for the three of them to enter the village head's courtyard.
"Uncle Village Head, I borrowed Yi Ke's gold coins from my brother." Mu Liner quickly glanced around and found an old man sitting around. Judging from his demeanor, he should be the village head.
Indeed, that person was Yi Ke. Bei Mu.
"Little girl from the Mu family, lying will be punished by the village rules." Bei Mu looked at Mu Liner who was standing in front of him meaningfully.
The two siblings were holding hands. They didn't look like each other at all.
