C156

Chen Ergou carried his large bag of silver and followed behind Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng blindly. Even when he was discovered, he was still a little confused.

"I don't know."

She didn't know why, but when she saw that she and that man were about to leave, she subconsciously followed them.

With regards to his explanation, Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't have the slightest intention of accepting it. Waving his hands coldly, he continued, "Go back to your own residence, I'm leaving now."

His own home?

That home that was full of holes and was so cold that he couldn't sleep in the winter?

Chen Ergou did not hold back at all, not to mention his current home, where he did not even have one last relative — — even if it was the one he hated the most.

Chen Ergou thought, maybe one day, he would die in that small house, and no one would know either.

He shook his head. He didn't want to go back to that simple house.

Looking at Chen Mu Mu Mu, he expended a huge amount of effort to force the desire in his heart out from his mouth.

"I want to go with you."

Chen Tang had gone. In this world now, she was his last family member. He didn't want to leave her. He wanted to live with her.

"I don't want it." Chen Mu Mu rejected him without even thinking. "If you say that you can't write well, you can't wash clothes, you can't cook, you don't even have the ability to support yourself, and you don't even work properly all day. Come with me, do you want to drag me down to death?"

Lu Jinfeng's mouth twitched, when the lady's venomous tongue came out, he was left far behind.

Chen Ergou was embarrassed, he was at a loss what to do as she said this, so he handed over the silver in his hands.

"I have money."

"I don't want your money." Chen Mu Mu mocked him, "Eat all you want. With your moral character, I'll give you ten million silver. In less than two days, you'll probably have lost all of it if you bring it to the gambling den!" You spent all your silver, and you still need to rely on me in the end, right? "I'm just a big girl, do you really have the face to ask me to go out and do business to support you?"

These words were said straightforwardly and it hurt. Chen Ergou only felt as if a handful of salt had sprayed on his wounds, the pain making him want to cry.

But he couldn't flow. He was a man, not a woman. How could he just cry like that?

Besides, she was right, he did have a bad habit.

He lowered his head and stayed silent for a long time. Then, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes were bright yet firm.

"Little sister, I don't need you to raise me."

Chen Mu Mu raised an eyebrow and declined to comment. "Beautiful words, I can casually say a basket."

"I'm not going to bet anymore, and I'm not going to steal anything anymore. I'm going to be a troublemaker." Chen Ergou's eyes were firm, clear and determined. "I will work steadily, I will learn how to, and I will try my best to not cause you any trouble. I have hands and feet, I can support myself, I definitely won't be a burden to you. "

He took two steps forward and fixed his gaze on her. "Little sister, please let me go with you. I promise that I will definitely be a good brother in the future."

Seeing that she was indifferent, he became anxious. His nose turned sour and tears almost fell from his eyes. "Little sister, you are the only family I have left. I don't want to leave you."

When Chen Tang was still alive, he would beat him up easily, but at least at night, when he was alone, his growls would still give him some comfort.

Chen Tang had left, the house was empty, and if Chen Mu Mu Mu also left, he would never find any value in his life again.

Perhaps, he would really be like what she said and might as well die.

He didn't want to leave her. Even if she hated him and despised him, the current her was the light and conviction that allowed him to live on.

"You …" Chen Ergou's gaze was too soft, too pitiful. Chen Mu Mu Mu originally wanted to spit out a bunch of words, but seeing him act like a forsaken puppy, she was unable to say anything. She paused and sighed.

"It's not impossible for you to follow me."

"Really?" Chen Ergou's gaze was sharp, like a shining star in the night sky, bright and dazzling.

Because, with a single sentence, he was already so happy. This youth was also truly concerned about Chen Mu Mu.

Chen Mu's eyelashes trembled as he opened his eyes. His smile was crafty and evil. "Don't be happy too early. I said you can follow me, but there are conditions."

"Speak. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." The young man was determined to speak. Because of the happiness, his entire body was radiating with energy and vitality, as if it could emit light.

This kind of youth was truly unbearable to refuse.

However, she, Chen Mu Mu, had always been the most ruthless. She had bullied a lot of weak people, so how could she care about such a Chen Ergou.

"It's not that you have to be able to do it, it's that you have to. If you can't do it, then don't come with me. I don't want to be implicated by you."

Chen Ergou smiled, gritted his teeth, and nodded: "Alright, go ahead."

In any case, this was the only life he had left. At most, he would just die, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"From now on, I want you to not steal, steal, gamble, fight, or swear. Also, you are not allowed to do what I want you to. You are not allowed to refuse what I want you to do!" Chen Mu glanced at him, "Remember this. You are my brother, not my brother, you have to set me an example. Don't let my little sister be looked down upon and bullied by others because of you! Did you remember what I told you? "

So that's all? Chen Ergou sighed.

Indeed, it was because he was too disappointing that he let her down.

He nodded his head, and for the first time, a solemn look appeared on his innocent face. "Little Sister, don't worry. I will definitely do my best in the future."

He was the older brother, so no matter what, he had to act as an example to his younger sister. He couldn't let her be embarrassed because of him.

Chen Ergou stared at his sister, and for the first time, had a great and sacred sense of mission — — He wanted to protect her sister.

This girl had suffered so much since she was young. Before, he didn't have the ability to protect her, but now that he had grown up, it was time for him to shoulder the responsibilities of a man.

"Look at that bear look of yours. Other people's older brother is so powerful, but my older brother is so useless." Chen Mu Mu Mu looked down on him and unceremoniously threw the burden on his back to Chen Ergou, "Take this, the first step to becoming a good brother is to learn how to love your little sister."

"Alright." Chen Ergou took the bag and hung it on his shoulder as he asked with a foolish smile on his face, "Little sister, where are we going now?"

"My house." Chen Mu Mu replied casually.

"Your home?" Chen Ergou was startled.

"If you're a good brother, that's your home from now on." Chen Mu Mu Mu said, and did not forget to remind Chen Ergou of his identity.

Chen Ergou nodded resolutely: "I will definitely be a good brother."

Lu Jinfeng stared at the two siblings who were willing to take a beating, and the corner of his mouth gradually formed a smile.

Now, he finally understood the reason why Chen Mu Mu Mu had watched Chen Ergou getting scolded and humiliated without doing anything, and also added venomous words to Chen Ergou.

It turned out that she never planned to give up on Chen Ergou from the beginning.

However, it was difficult to change one's nature. Someone like Chen Ergou, who had come into contact with bad environments since childhood, and had a twisted personality, would definitely not grow up if he did not receive a deep lesson, nor have a good memory.

If a person like this wanted to change his personality and sharpen his character, he would have to use some extraordinary methods. Even if Chen Baifu did not teach Chen Ergou a lesson, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu would definitely teach him a lesson in the future.

He might as well take advantage of Chen Tang's death and's desperate situation to ruthlessly strike Chen Ergou.

Lu Jinfeng thought that after this day, Chen Ergou, who was just like that scoundrel, who often went to and from the gambling den, must be different.

Madam Li was very happy about Chen Ergou's arrival.

Madam Li actually liked little children, but with her weak physique and Lu Dayi's early death, she only had Lu Jinfeng as her only son. When Lu Jinfeng grew up, he always felt that a child was too lonely. When Chen Mu Mu arrived, although she could accompany him and speak to him privately, Chen Mu was still too busy and did not spend too much time with her.

At this moment, the house was bustling with noise and excitement. How could he not be happy? Since the conditions at home were good, there was no need for Chen Ergou to eat.

After dinner, Chen Mu went to take care of the herbs in her courtyard. It was a rare opportunity for Chen Ergou to be together with her sister.

"Be careful, help us grind these dried herbs, you're not allowed to mix in anymore." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu didn't hold back at all when it came to his older brother. "You haven't learned anything in your life. You must know a few medicinal herbs from me."

With regards to Chen Mu Mu Mu's words, Chen Ergou naturally did not object.

"Mu Mu, I've never seen you do this before. When did you learn how to identify medicinal herbs?"

"A doctor taught me to look after my sickly body. If I didn't look after it a bit, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me now." Chen Mu Mu did not plan to explain further, looking at Chen Ergou who was fiddling with the herbs, his eyes turned: "Er Gou, has anyone from my village asked about me in the past two days?"

"You have to call me brother." Chen Ergou turned his head to look at her, and somewhat angrily corrected her, "No matter how much you dislike me, I'm still your big brother.

"You don't look like a brother either." Chen Mu Mu shrugged.

"I'll be a good brother in the future." Chen Ergou's tone of voice was firm and his face was filled with a face of unwillingness, "So you are not allowed to call me by my name."

"Alright." How could Chen Mu Mu, who could yield to anyone, possibly suffocate to death for someone? She casually replied, "You still haven't answered my question."

"Call me big brother first." Chen Ergou raised her head with a face full of arrogance.

"Hur hur." Chen Mu gave him a vague smile and said meaningfully, "Hurry up and answer."

Seeing Chen Mu Mu rejecting his arrogance, Chen Ergou felt depressed and lowered his head. After complaining for a while, he seemed to have convinced himself of something. He raised his head again and said, "Yesterday, someone came to the village to ask me about your matter."

Chen Mu Mu Mu moved beside his hand and looked at Chen Ergou: "What did he just ask about?"

"Find out what happened to you since you were a kid." "Speaking of this matter, Chen Ergou's face had a look of disbelief," What's even more speechless is that he actually asked us if you are our father's own daughter, isn't this nonsense? If you weren't your own, based on my dad's bad temper, he wouldn't have raised you to this age. He drowned when you were three years old. "

So...

Chen Mu's eyes lit up. It seemed that Chen Ergou was certain that he was Chen Tang's daughter, and he probably did not know about the birthmark on her shoulder.

She fiddled with the medicinal plant and casually asked, "Then how will our father deal with that person?"

"Naturally, I used a broom to chase him out. When I returned, I even cursed and cursed at him for wearing a green hat."
