Chapter 422: I regret that my bowels are turning green
Although everyone in the Huang family understood her intention, Yun Mo still patiently explained it.
It was said to be an explanation, but in fact it was a reminder to Huang Jianjun.
"There is a saying that goes well, wealth should not be revealed, wealth should not be revealed. It means that if you have money, you should not reveal it to others. It will cause unnecessary trouble at best, and disaster at worst.
Let me use an analogy. Everyone knows that our family has money and good things at home. If relatives and friends come to borrow money and things, should we borrow them or not?
If you don’t borrow, you will definitely offend others. If you borrow, someone will come to visit you. They are all relatives, so you can’t favor one over the other. If you borrow something but not that one, if things go on like this, no matter how much money or things you have in your family, they will be emptied out.
."
Huang Jianjun couldn't help but said: "Things are lent, not given away. They always have to return them."
Yun Mo smiled faintly, "Uncle, not everyone understands the principle of borrowing and repaying. There is a saying that the grandson who borrows money owes the father who owes money.
This means that when the other party asks you to borrow money, the other party will smile with you, say nice things, and have a humble attitude like a grandson.
But when it came time to pay back the money, the other person suddenly turned into a boss, aloof and ignored, and the creditor had to come to his door to urge him to pay back the money."
Huang Qingning nodded in agreement, "That's right, just like the second aunt! She obviously has money but doesn't pay it back, she's shameless!"
Yun Mo looked at Huang Jianjun, who was shocked and unable to recover for a while, "Uncle, if someone comes to you to ask about tobacco and alcohol, just deny that you don't know, or just admit that it's a lie."
Huang Jianjun looked at Lingchuan hesitantly, "Wouldn't this be wronging you and Xiaoling?"
"It's okay with me."
Lingchuan immediately followed suit and said, "It doesn't matter to me either."
Yun Mo added: "The discussion is only temporary. After Lingchuan and I leave, everyone will gradually forget about it.
Uncle, we have to think about grandma and aunt. After the New Year, you will all go to the city to work at the bamboo weaving factory. Grandma and aunt will be at home. If a bad guy targets the Huang family, it will be a trivial matter if things are lost.
If something happens to grandma and aunt, it will be more loss than gain."
"Momo's worries are not unreasonable." Huang Zhiqiu looked at his eldest brother seriously, "Brother, you have to keep your mouth shut from now on and don't say anything outside."
Huang Jianjun nodded quickly, "Don't worry, if others ask me, I will say that the tobacco and alcohol are all fake."
After explaining things clearly to the Huang family, Yun Mo packed up her things and prepared to go to Huang Jianye's house in the town to check in.
The villagers outside Huang's house have dispersed, some have gone home, and some have gone to Peng Fang's house to watch the joke.
After learning that the cigarettes and alcohol were real, Peng Fang was so regretful that her intestines turned green, and she had no intention of returning the cigarettes that her eldest son had taken away to Yun Mo.
But Yunmo didn't intend to let the other party take advantage.
When passing by the path outside Huang Jianguo's house, she and Lingchuan turned in specially.
Seeing Yun Mo coming, Peng Fang turned around and wanted to hide in the house, but Yun Mo didn't give her a chance and went straight to the point and explained her purpose.
"Second aunt, I'm here to get those two packs of Double Happiness cigarettes."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Peng Fang simply lied, "Xiao Zhao took the cigarette away and no one else was there."
Yun Mo smiled and didn't feel angry, "Then I'll come back in the evening. My second cousin has to go home for dinner, right?"
"I didn't know that since the legs are on him, I can't control where he likes to go."
"Second aunt, I was in a hurry this morning and forgot one thing. You haven't given me the five yuan this month."
Just when Peng Fang was about to find an excuse to evade, Yun Mo spoke up again, "We made an agreement a few days ago, so we're not going to ignore it again, right?"
The villagers received Yun Mo's favor and spoke out to help Yun Mo.
"5 yuan is not 50 yuan or 500 yuan. I'm trying to embarrass you. If you really don't have it, can I lend it to you first and pay it back?"
"No shit, yesterday I saw dozens of dollars in her purse!"
"If you have money, pay it back as soon as possible. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. It is unlucky to be debt-collected during the Chinese New Year."
Everyone was talking to each other like machine guns, so Peng Fang had no choice but to pull out a donkey-like face, take out the money bag tied to the waistband of his trousers, count five 1 yuan bills and throw them to Yun Mo.
Yun Mo subconsciously caught it, but she couldn't catch it with both hands, and one of the 1 yuan bills fell to the ground.
What a coincidence, it happened to cover a pile of chicken droppings on the ground.
Yun Mo didn't know how to pick up money from chicken excrement. She counted the money in her hand and said slowly: "Second aunt, I have a total of 4 yuan in my hand, and there is still 1 yuan missing."
Peng Fang stared at her, "Are you blind? Can't you see such a big banknote on the ground?"
Yun Mo smiled, "I only recognize the money in my hand, and the remaining 1 yuan. If my second aunt can't get it now, I'll come back to ask for it in the evening. Or..."
Yun Mo looked at the chickens walking around in the small courtyard.
Although chicken excrement is smelly, this kind of free-range chicken in the countryside is still very delicious to eat.
"You don't want to miss my chickens!"
Seeing Yun Mo's intentions towards her chicken, Peng Fang immediately stared at her warily.
Instead of restraining herself, Yun Mo stretched out her thin white fingers and started counting chickens.
"1,2,3...ah, there are 6 chickens in total. Each of these chickens should weigh 6 or 7 pounds. According to the market price, a chicken costs about 5 yuan. Second aunt, if you are reluctant to give up the money
, I’ll just catch a chicken and go back.”
"You have a beautiful idea. I have been raising chickens for a year, and each one weighs 7 or 8 pounds at least!"
"It's okay. Once you catch it and weigh it, you'll know how much it weighs."
With that said, Yun Mo turned to signal Lingchuan to catch the chicken.
Lingchuan walked towards the yard.
Peng Fang was anxious and stretched out her hand to stop Lingchuan, "Okay, just 1 yuan, I'll give it to you!"
Perhaps worried that Yun Mo would snatch her chicken away, Peng Fang didn't behave like a monster this time, and honestly touched a clean 1 yuan note again.
After collecting the money, Yun Mo left with satisfaction.
Peng Fang cursed at her back, then bent down to pick up the banknotes stained with chicken excrement. She couldn't help but go up and smell it, and she almost vomited from the smoke.
"Ugh, what do you eat every day? Your poop is so smelly!"

After walking out of the village, Yun Mo reached out and took the man's arm.
Lingchuan turned to look at her.
"Lingchuan, you have been wronged over the tobacco and alcohol issues, but don't worry, I will help you clear your name when there is a chance in the future."
I am willing to suffer the injustice with you.
Lingchuan thought in his heart and said: "It's okay, wife, as long as mom and grandpa know my thoughts, I don't care what outsiders think."
After a brief silence, Yun Mo coughed and said, "Um, I've thought about what you said before."
Lingchuan stared at her intently, his eyes lighting up.
Yun Mo stretched out her hand and turned his face forward, "Look at the road, not me."
