Chapter 136 Not for Sale
Mr. Mo is actually younger than the third grandpa, but now he calls the third grandpa Gu brother and acts like a big brother, which is really unpleasant.
Third Grandpa knew Mr. Mo's temperament and didn't want to argue with him. He just nodded and said, "It's the Mo brothers. Why are you here today? Our family is busy."
The implication is that our family is very busy, so you can leave when you have nothing to do.
When Mr. Mo heard this, he was very unhappy and said to his three sons: "Dali, Dakui, Dayong, didn't you hear your Uncle Gu said you were busy? Why don't you go and help quickly?"
"Dad, let's go right away." The three Mo Dali brothers immediately rolled up their sleeves, ran to the middle of the yard, and squeezed He Wanli out of the way while he was weighing tofu.
The third child, Mo Dayong, snatched the booklet and brush from Gu Jinan's hand and said with a smile: "Brother An, my uncle knows how to do this work. You can rest while you go."
In fact, Mo Dayong didn't know a few Chinese characters and couldn't understand what was written in this booklet.
Gu Jinan went to class in the morning, but it was not long before dawn. He had not gone to school yet, but was helping with work at home. When he saw Mo Dayong snatching away his book, he felt unhappy, but he did not get angry. He just said: "Uncle Dayong, what is written on it is the account of the He family's tofu, and it is related to money. If there is a wrong word, or it is damaged, then the account will be wrong, and your family will have to pay us two money."
"What?" Mo Dayong was so frightened that he hurriedly returned the booklet in his hand to Gu Jinan: "Hold it, I didn't move anything."
Gu Jinan took it with a smile and continued to stand aside to register.
Mr. Mo was very angry and stared at Mo Dayong. Why did this idiot return the book to Gu Jinan? Gu Jinan just used words to scare him.
Gu Dashan was extremely anxious when he saw the Mo family coming to his door and snatching everyone's work as soon as they arrived.
Gu Jinli is not in a hurry. If the Mo family wants to die, someone will naturally deal with them.
Sure enough, Village Chief He looked at Mr. Mo with an unkind look: "Old Mo, what do you mean by this? Is this your home? You are allowed to snatch lives like this, there are no rules!"
The three brothers of the Mo family were afraid of Village Chief He. After hearing this, Mo Dali, who was carrying a large bag of tofu, hurriedly looked at his father, should he do this job or not?
And they didn't come to the Gu family to do work, they came to talk about the tofu business.
Mr. Mo waved his hand and asked Mo Dali and others to come back, and said to Village Chief He: "Village Chief, our Mo family and the Gu family came all the way to escape the famine, and we have a good friendship. I thought his family was busy, so I came over to help. It's pointless. "
Gu Jinli smiled and said to Village Chief He: "Village Chief, the old man of the Mo family is right. Our two families got to know each other when we changed our household registration in the county government."
As soon as these words were spoken, Village Chief He couldn't help but laugh and continued: "It's been almost three months since we met, which is about the same time that our two families have known each other."
The old man of the Mo family felt very ashamed when he heard them singing in harmony.
Mo Kuizi had already chased after him. When he heard this, his face turned red. He came up and grabbed Mr. Mo and said, "Uncle, the wasteland at home hasn't been cleared yet. Let's go back quickly. If it's too late, the morning's work will be delayed." .”
Farmers usually get up before dawn, work in the fields for a while, and then go home for breakfast.
Mr. Mo shook off Mo Kuizi's hand, and without any pretense, he said directly to the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, I came here today to talk to you about the tofu business."
"Your family makes so much tofu every day, it will definitely not be sold out. We, the Mo family, are honest and hard-working people. We would like to help you select some tofu to sell elsewhere, so that your family can sell more tofu every day."
"Our Mo family doesn't want too many, just give us five hundred kilograms of tofu every day." Mr. Mo said to himself, and finally asked with a smile: "Brother Gu, what do you think?"
The third grandfather laughed angrily and refused directly: "Our family doesn't have that much tofu, so we won't sell it to your Mo family."
Mr. Mo became anxious, pointed at Third Grandpa's face, and said angrily: "Brother Gu, what do you mean by this? Our Mo family is helping you..."
Help your sister!
Gu Jinli had already had enough of Mr. Mo. When he saw him pointing at Third Grandpa's face and swearing, he took out his dagger and chopped off the hand that Mr. Mo was pointing at Third Grandpa.
"Ah~" Mr. Mo was so frightened that he quickly took his hand back before the dagger struck.
Everyone present was very frightened. They did not expect that Gu Jinli would suddenly use the knife.
Mr. Mo was so angry that he was trembling. He pointed at Gu Jinli and said, "It's contrary, it's contrary. A junior dares to use a knife against an elder. This, this..."
Gu Jinli sneered: "Your surname is Mo, and my surname is Gu. Who are you, my elder?"
She pointed at the three brothers of the Mo family and said, "You brought your son to the door early in the morning to ask for tofu. Does this tofu belong to your family? My Gu family's tofu can be given to whoever you want. Can you take care of it?"
"I'll put my words here today. You can give the tofu to anyone, you can feed it to pigs, but I won't give it to your family." She smiled maliciously and said, "Listen clearly, I won't give it to you." Your family, I didn’t say I wouldn’t give it to Uncle Kui Zi’s family.”
When Mr. Mo heard this, he was even more embarrassed than Duotou slapping him twice. He immediately glared at Mo Kuizi angrily: "Get lost, you ungrateful thing."
Everyone present was shocked, and Mo Kuizi also looked at Mr. Mo in shock.
Gu Jinli smiled inwardly, he didn't expect Mr. Mo to be so brainless.
As a nephew of the same clan, Mo Kuizi helped their family a lot along the way and did more work than his three good-for-nothing sons. He was not grateful and said this in anger, treating Mo Kuizi as a Who is it?
When Mr. Mo was in his hometown, he was a bit arrogant because his family had a lot of land, lived a good life, and had some status in the village.
But he also knew that Mo Kuizi had helped their family a lot. When he saw Mo Kuizi's unhappy expression, his heart trembled. He was afraid that his family would lose this free labor, so he hurriedly said to Mo Kuizi: "Kui Zi, I didn't mean it."
Mo Kuizi smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, let's go back first."
The Gu family has already said that they will not sell tofu to them, and if they stay here any longer, it will only make them more embarrassed.
But Mr. Mo was unwilling to give in. He felt from the bottom of his heart that the Gu family was nothing special and they all came from the desert. Why should the Mo family be afraid of the Gu family.
For the sake of face, Mr. Mo once again said to the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, will your family give you this tofu or not?"
"Uncle Gu, what's going on at your house? Is there something unsightly coming to cause trouble?" Liang Zhuzhu led six villagers from Lianghe Village to Gu's house. After hearing what Mr. Mo said, his face turned ugly.
Tofu is in short supply, and they don't get much tofu every day. If the Mo family comes to share some more, they will get even less tofu.
Moreover, the Gu family gave them a way to survive. Now if someone comes to the Gu family to cause trouble, they will not agree to anything and must help.
