She didn't know who had told her that, because of that person's kindness, he would be safe until he was old.
Ever since Mu Fengchai could remember, she knew that she had a very fierce cousin.
She was a little afraid of her cousin, but also full of envy. She always wondered if she would be able to hold her sister in her arms and be pampered.
What Mu Fengchai did not know was that, to Mu Rousang, she was her life's only sister.
Even at a very young age, she knew what hatred was.
In the beginning, when she first saw Mu Rousang, she hated him a lot because her mother said that her elder cousin was an ingrate.
She didn't know what it meant to eat the enemy, but looking at the frightened expression on her own mother's face when she scolded her cousin, she guessed that it was not a good thing to say.
At the same time, she couldn't understand. Didn't her mother say her cousin was an ingrate?
Until one day, something happened.
But Mu Yun and Mulberry had brought the two siblings with them to the Zhou Mansion. Of course, the one who was raised in the Zhou Mansion, was Mu Fenge, her big sister.
The Zhou Mansion was her aunt Mu Qingxi's home, and Mu Qingxi was Master Zhou's successor.
That day, her mother, in order to stand up for her aunt, had helped her settle her concubine. However, when Lord Zhou saw that her aunt had used her bare hands to coax Lord Zhou away, she turned around and chased all of them back to the small mountain village.
Mu Fengchai remembered that back then, she was still at the age where she ate and did not remember to fight.
Although the food was not as good as the one she had in the Zhou Mansion, she could still enjoy it even if it was just porridge and pickles.
Even so, she still caught the eyes of her parents, causing them to be unhappy.
Mulberry raised her chopsticks and slapped her small hands. Mu Fengchai felt wronged, it was just that she ate too fast.
And she really couldn't understand. Her mother had cooked a food that was difficult to swallow, but she didn't even mind. How could she be scolded?
It wasn't like she asked her family to come back for the new year.
She held back her tears and did not dare to drop them, because her useless father would definitely despise her for her bad luck.
However, even though she tried her best to hold back her tears, Mu Yun was still unhappy.
"It's so bad, you're a pig. I've brought you back for so many years, and you can't even cook a good meal. What's the use of asking you?" Wrong, you are worse than a pig. "
Mulberry suddenly frowned, "I am a pig, what is it that sleeps beside my pillow everyday?"
Mu Yun, who was being gobbled down by her, suddenly became angry. He slammed his chopsticks on the table and scolded: "Is your skin itchy again? F * ck, useless old sow."
"You make me sick just by looking at you."
Mu Yun stood up and walked over, used his leg to kick the bench behind him, and raised his leg to leave.
Who knew that when Mulberry saw it, she would shriek like a madman. She did not dare choke on Mu Yun again as she reached out and slapped the back of his head.
Nu scolded him, "You know how to eat, but why did I give birth to a loser like you? You are so stupid! You have been staying at the Zhou Mansion for such a long time, why haven't I learned any wisdom from you? "I wonder how many taels of silver you coaxed from your aunt."
"Wow!" Mu Fengchai, who was already feeling wronged, couldn't hold back anymore and started crying loudly.
"Cry your mother!" Mu Yun raised his hand from the other side and slapped her.
Mu Fengchai cried even louder, crying even harder.
She suddenly felt envious of her cousin who spoke so gently. She also thought, "Why don't my parents die?" Then, could she and her elder brother be as dependent on each other as her elder cousin?
If not, he could also lead such an enviable life.
"Scram! I'm so annoyed from crying!"
Mu Yun pushed Mu Fengchai who was sitting on the other side of the table away. At such a young age, she did not expect his father to use such a huge force and was pushed off the bench in an instant, falling to the ground. Seeing that, Mulberry screamed even louder, reaching out to help her up, unwilling to let his go and fight with Mu Yun.
Mu Fengchai's face was covered in tears as she looked at the scene in front of her coldly.
In his heart, he thought to himself bitterly: Let's fight! Let's fight with all our might! It's best if we beat each other to death!
Ever since she had become sensible, she had hated her parents from the bottom of her heart.
Compared to a mother like Mulberry, Mu Yun truly wished for nothing more than for him to die in her heart.
At least, although Mulberry scolded her nonstop, she would occasionally get happy. When she was in a good mood, she would help her sew a new set of clothes, or buy a piece of malt candy to put in her mouth.
Her brother, Mu Yi Yang, had returned after dinner.
Compared to Mu Feng`er, who was an inferior elder sister, Mu Yi Yang liked his own cute and cute younger sister more.
Today, Mu Rousang made some sesame candy at home, and split it into a few pieces.
"Feng Chai, why are you hiding here alone?"
He had found her outside, behind a mound of rice and grass.
She was sitting on the ground in a straw pit in the middle of a mound of rice grass. Every straw in this pit was either dug up by the village dogs or caught by the wildcats.
At this time, it was already very dark outside, the cold wind was howling, and the paper lantern in Mu Yi Yang's hand was made by Mu Jinzhi and him.
"Brother!"
Mu Fengchai placed her small hands on her knees, her small face buried in the dirt. After hearing Mu Yi Yang's voice, she pitifully raised her head.
"Feng Chai, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying like a little kitten?"
Mu Fengchai sniffled in grievance, and said in a small voice: "Brother, let's move to our cousin's house, stay far away from father and mother. I know, father and mother are actually very afraid of their cousin, their cousin is really fierce."
Mu Yi Yang walked closer with the lantern in hand, noticing that the corner of Mu Fengchai's eyes was swollen. He then shone the lantern on it, but before he could look carefully, the wounds on Mu Fengchai's face were already covered by filth.
This time, he could clearly see the anger in her voice. He then asked helplessly, "Mother, did you hit me again?"
"And, and, and dad, let's go to our cousin's house, okay? I can help her with her work."
Although Mu Fengchai was young, she subconsciously knew that it was her only choice.
Mu Yi Yang sighed, he extended his hand and caressed Mu Fengchai's head, thought for a bit, then bent down to pick her up.
Mu Fengchai was startled, and let him carry her with a stiff body.
In his heart, he felt a sweet sensation.
Mu Yi Yang could feel that her mood seemed to have improved.
"Brother will bring you into the house. First, boil some water to wash your face and hands. My phoenix hairpin is also a little beauty!"
After he finished speaking, he carried Mu Fengchai and the lantern in one hand as he walked into the house.
When they arrived at the stove house, they first placed Mu Fengchai down and let her find a small Dan Zi. He lit up the lantern in his hand and started a fire.
Mu Fengchai was elated to see her brother working hard for her.
She had always envied her cousin, envied her for having a good brother.
"Brother, you've never boiled water for me before."
Mu Yi Yang was the only son of Mu Yun and Mulberry, but how could he possibly feel wronged when someone treated him as their very own son?
"In the past few days, I was together with Jin Tian. He taught me how to read and write, and he often mentioned sister Sang and the things he did for her. Although it was a small matter, but …" To make him, as an older brother, ashamed.
"Here you go!"
Mu Yiyang suddenly thought of something, and took out a paper bag to give to Mu Fengchai.
Mu Fengchai who had just finished crying took a deep breath and extended her hand to take it. Opening it to take a look, she laughed: "Wow, it's sesame candy, in the past when I was at the Zhou Mansion, I have seen big sister's room with this."
It was just that she wasn't allowed to eat it. Once, she couldn't stand the seductive aroma anymore and wanted to steal a piece of her sweet lips. However, it was discovered by Mu Fengao and she snatched it away.
"Brother, you eat too."
Mu Fengchai suddenly felt that her heart was sweeter than the sesame candy in her hand. She also had a good brother who doted on her.
Mu Yiyang shook her head, and replied: "I ate a lot over there, these were all brought over for you by Sister Sang."
In the past few days, he had been staying at her house all day, either working hard to earn money or reading and practicing his writing skills. How could Mu Rousang not know that he, a boy, would be happy about eating these sweet and greasy foods?
It was just a roundabout way for him to bring back for his sister to eat.
Only after a long while did Mu Fengchai find out the truth of the matter.
That night, Mu Yiyang had washed her face, wiped his small hands clean, and even carried her to bed, coaxing her to sleep.
This was the first time she realized that her own brother could tell her a story like the other brothers.
"Bro, is a cousin really that bad?" At such a young age, she already had a faint idea of what was going on. It was just that she had yet to discern the truth from her lord's words.
"Sister Sang is a very nice person. Look, even though she rarely sees you, she still thinks about you and has her brother bring you back sugar."
Mu Yiyang didn't know why Family sister had asked that. Thinking about it, it was because his parents had said bad things about Mu Rousang in front of her, that made him think that way.
"Did Father and Mother say something bad about her in front of you? It is all a grudge between the elders, and if you truly speak of it, it is our family that has let down Sis Sang and Jin. "
"Sorry? But mother and father often scolded their cousin in the house, saying that she was an ungrateful person and ate from the inside, had good food to put on, and was only concerned with sending off outsiders. They also said that their cousin was unfilial.
Mu Fengchai didn't understand, but she spoke out the question that was on her mind.
Mu Yiyang was extremely furious in his heart, and because these two people were his parents, he could only warn Mu Fengchai, "If what Father and Mother say, then listen carefully. If what you say is right, then listen carefully.
Mu Fengchai bit her lower lip, raised her head and looked at Mu Yiyang who was sitting beside the bed and talking to her.
"I feel that my cousin is not like what my parents said. I feel that she is not a bad person."
"That's right. Look, you can feel it yourself. Father and Mother's words might not be true." Mu Yiyang was unable to say that his parents were too snobbish.
"I understand. In the future, can I go and play with my cousin?"
"Yes, Sister Sang is quite bored at home by herself, and Peach Blossom has to help out the family." Mn, Sister Sang is quite bored at home by herself, and Peach Blossom has to help out the family.
At that time, Mu Fengchai did not understand the meaning behind his words, but she had remembered it firmly in her heart.
She thought, "Remember what her brother said. It can't be wrong."
And it was also during this night that Mu Yiyang also taught Mu Fengchai that he had to teach him hygiene in the future and that she could wear tattered clothes, but she had to look clean and tidy.
This kind of young lady was the most painful.
Most importantly, she knew that her own older cousin loved clean, well-behaved little girls.
The injured, young soul, under Mu Yiyang's consoling, gradually changed from what it was like in the past. Everyday, Mu Fengchai wished for nothing more than for his parents to die.
She thought it was good to have a brother, a cousin, a cousin.
