Chapter 85: Heartbreakingly sensible!

"Mom is a little uncomfortable and is resting at home." Ye Tong hugged Chen Mo and said with a smile.

  Because Chen Mo was squatting on the ground and Ye Tong was holding his neck, standing on his side, Chen Mo didn't pay much attention to Ye Tong's expression when he spoke.

  But Lin Xinru on the side noticed that when Ye Tong mentioned that her mother was a little uncomfortable, her smile was a little forced.

  Lin Xinru, who often paints human expressions, has some experience in interpreting these expression changes.

  Especially for this kind of child who is not very experienced in the world and is not very good at pretending.

  She didn't know what kind of experience it took for a child at such a young age to learn to respond to others with such a forced smile.

  Hearing that Sister Qing was just resting at home, Chen Mo didn't ask any questions. Instead, he looked at the roses in Ye Tong's hand and said with a smile: "Tongtong is so good, she has learned how to sell flowers to supplement the family income.

  You still have some more in this flower basket?" How many flowers are there? My brother

  bought them all for you. You should go home early to accompany your mother." "Ah? Brother Mo, you want to buy all the flowers here? It will cost a lot of money to buy them all. If brother needs so many roses, As for flowers, go to the store over there and buy them.

  My flowers were given to me by the owner of that store. If you buy them directly from the owner, it will be much cheaper." It's a

  rare opportunity to meet my big brother whom I really like. Ye Tong had no intention of making a lot of money from him, but honestly pointed out the most economical way to Chen Mo.

  And she very cutely leaned into his ear and whispered: "The purchase price over there is only two yuan a piece. Brother Mo, I'm just telling you, don't tell others, otherwise the boss will be angry."

  See Chen Mo was inexplicably moved by this cute little girl with an innocent face, a round face, big innocent eyes, red lips and white teeth.

  This child was cute and honest, which made Chen Mo love him very much. He smiled and said, "It's okay, money is not important. My brother likes to buy bright flowers." "

  Then... I will only sell you one. The boss stipulates that I must Sell ​​one for 10 yuan, otherwise it will destroy her market price and so on." Ye Tong took out a rose and said with a hint of understanding.

  Seeing that Ye Tong was saving money for himself, Chen Mo immediately smiled and said: "I took a look at your basket of flowers. There are about twenty flowers. I want them all. This is 200 yuan."

  Chen Mo smiled and took out 200 yuan. Passed it to Ye Tong.

  Seeing Chen Mo spending so much money on useless roses, Ye Tong quickly looked at Lin Xinru and said: "Sister, just buy one of these flowers and wear it in your hair. If you buy too many, they will wither quickly and they will be useless." Come on, please persuade Brother Mo to stop spending money."

  She thought that Chen Mo bought so many flowers to please this beautiful sister, so she wanted to ask Lin Xinru to help her persuade him.

  She has lived with her mother since she was a child, and has seen how hard her mother works to make money.

  In the past, she had stayed and played with Chen Mo at the place where her mother and Chen Mo worked. She knew that Chen Mo was also a hard-working person who made money through work-study studies.

  100 yuan is hard-earned money, let alone 200 yuan.

  She didn't want Chen Mo to spend money on meaningless things.

  Hearing this well-behaved and sensible little girl say this, Lin Xinru couldn't help but her eyes became slightly moist. What a well-behaved and sensible little girl. This cute little sister was so sensible that she almost wanted to cry.

  Lin Xinru immediately turned her head and glanced at Chen Mo.

  Chen Mo immediately smiled and said: "Tongtong, my brother is different from before. He is rich now. He has a lot of money. You can feel free to sell your flowers to me." "

  Ah? Brother Mo, is it possible? "Did you win a big prize by buying a lottery ticket?" In Ye Tong's world view, the only people who can become very wealthy instantly are those who win a big prize by buying a lottery ticket.

  Chen Mo smiled and touched Ye Tong's little head and said, "Yes, so you don't have to worry about your brother's money."

  Although Chen Mo said this, Ye Tong was unexpectedly sensible. She stretched out her little hand and held it tightly. She touched Chen Mo's cheek and asked him to look at her, and then warned him like a little adult: "Brother Mo, I heard that many people won the lottery and spent money randomly, and finally became paupers. Even

  if you won , Don't spend money randomly on lottery tickets, otherwise you will spend all the money easily."

  After saying that, Ye Tong touched Chen Mo's forehead with his forehead and turned it, as if he was instilling his belief in Chen Mo. Tell him not to waste money.

  Chen Mo and Lin Xinru were dumbfounded.

  "I know, but this time is an exception. Only if Tongtong agrees to sell the flowers to her brother can he promise that Tongtong will not spend money randomly in the future." Chen Mo directly made a deal with Tongtong's most important thing, not spending money randomly. Tongtong was speechless for a while.

  "Then... well, it's only this time. From now on, brother can't spend money randomly, but the boss said he would earn 5 yuan a flower for me, so I'll sell it to you for 5 yuan a flower, so I don't want to The boss's salary has been paid, so the boss shouldn't blame me for selling the product low." Although Tongtong compromised, she still wanted to help Chen Mo save a hundred yuan.

  "This silly kid." Chen Mo felt really helpless and pity for this sensible and well-behaved kid, "If you sell like this, you won't make any money. My brother bought Tongtong's flowers because he wanted Tongtong to make money. I don't want to make money for the boss, just take the 200 yuan and I'll take the flowers."

  Chen Mo forcibly gave Ye Tong 300 yuan and took away all her flowers.

  "Brother, there is an extra 100 yuan." Ye Tong immediately realized that the amount was wrong.

  "The extra hundred yuan was bought together with your little flower basket." Chen Mo said with a smile.

  After saying that, Chen Mo immediately gave the roses he bought to Lin Xinru, "I haven't given you any flowers yet, so I will give you twenty flowers at once."

  Lin Xinru smiled and kissed Chen Mo and said, "Thank you, brother Mo. "

  Hey, why do you call me Brother Mo, Brother Mo?" Tongtong is very sensible in some things, but dull in others.

  Looking at her cute look, Lin Xinru said with a smile: "Because my sister wants to be a little girl and be loved by Brother Mo."

  Lin Xinru said this, and Ye Tong nodded with a little understanding.

  "By the way, Tongtong, have you had dinner?" Chen Mo asked, touching her little head.

  "Not yet. After selling the flowers, I will go home for dinner." Ye Tong said obediently.

  "You don't have to go home now. What's your mother's phone number? Let me tell your mother that you can have dinner with me and then go home." "

  How about that?" Ye Tong quickly shook his head in refusal.

  Hearing what she said, Chen Mo deliberately darkened his face and said, "Brother Mo regards Tongtong as his own sister. Is there anything wrong with his brother bringing his sister to dinner? If you think it's not possible, do you think Brother Mo is an outsider? If you don't like Brother Mo, he will be very sad!"

  As soon as Chen Mo said this, Ye Tong shook his little head anxiously like a rattle.

  She still likes Chen Mo very much and treats Chen Mo as her own brother. She said no just now, so it can't be because she thinks Chen Mo is an outsider or doesn't trust him. She is just afraid that Chen Mo and Lin Xinru are dating now, so she will treat him as if she were in the past. The light bulb is gone.

  Even though she is young, she still knows this.

  However, in order to prevent Brother Mo from misunderstanding that he didn't like him and treating him as an outsider, Ye Tong didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only nod in agreement.

  "That's so good!" Chen Mo smiled and touched her little head and said, "What's your mother's phone number?"

  Then Ye Tong reported a number to Chen Mo.

  Chen Mo called immediately.    

  No one answered the first call, and the second phone rang for more than ten seconds before someone finally picked it up.

  "Hello..."

  As soon as he heard the voice on the phone, Chen Mo felt something was wrong. The voice on the phone was weak.

  But remembering that Ye Tong just said that his mother was not feeling well at home, maybe she had a cold, Chen Mo didn't pay much attention.

  "Hey, is this Sister Qing? I'm Momo, do you remember me?"

  At first, the other party didn't know who was calling, but as a familiar voice and a familiar name came to her at the same time, Yue Yuqing immediately smiled. Said: "Ahem, cough...it turns out to be Momo. Of course Sister Qing remembers you, how come you have my phone number." "

  Tongtong gave it to me. I was preparing to have dinner outside and happened to meet Tongtong. I'm selling flowers, and I want to take her to have dinner with me, so I told you in advance so that I don't have to prepare her dinner at home." "

  Then why are you so embarrassed? This child is so serious. I told her not to go out. , I have to go out and say that I want to make money, cough cough..."

  Yue Yuqing coughed several times when he said a word, thinking that he was indeed ill.

  "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I used to treat Tongtong as my little sister and play with her. I'm very happy that she likes me and treats me like her brother. After all, I'm an only child." "

  That's really troublesome for you, Mo Mo." Yue Yuqing still trusts Chen Mo, so she is not worried about what will happen to her daughter if she follows Chen Mo.

  "What did Sister Qing say? That's it. By the way, I see you feel a little unwell. Do you have something wrong?" "

  It's just a little cold. It's okay. You'll be fine soon."

  " Where do you live now? When I send Tongtong home later, I will stop by to see you."

  "No. 158, Minsheng Road."

  "Okay, I'll note it down. I'll see you

  later." Chen Mo hung up the phone , Ye Tong said immediately: "Brother Mo, I have to hand over the money to the boss first, please wait for me." "

  Well, go ahead." Chen Mo smiled and touched her little head.

  "What a cute, sensible, and annoying little baby. I really don't know if it's a good thing to be so sensible at this age." Lin Xinru sighed, looking at Ye Tong's sometimes adult-like maturity.

  "Sister Qing's husband is not a good person. He doesn't make any money, and he often comes home with a lot of gambling debts. That's why their family is like this, forcing Tongtong to mature so early." "

  Ah? Doesn't this mean divorce? "

  Don't dare to divorce. Her husband said that if you dare to divorce, it will cost the lives of both of them. For Tongtong, Sister Qing can only swallow her anger." Speaking of this, Chen Mo had already thought of what to do. Even if he knew these things, he would not be able to help Yue Yuqing get rid of her husband.

  Not to mention the old Chen Mo, even if he went through the official channels, once this kind of dog-skin plaster stuck to Yue Yuqing's body, it couldn't be easily removed.

  To deal with this kind of person, you must use more unlimited means than the other party.

  "That's really tragic. Being exposed to this kind of person is simply a lifelong nightmare." Lin Xinru sounded scary, and she hugged Chen Mo's arms even tighter.

  At this time, in the flower shop, the owner saw Ye Tong coming back early and immediately asked with a smile: "Hey, Tongtong, why are you back so soon today?" The

  owner of this flower shop is actually a very good person, and most people come to her place. To sell flowers, you need to pay a deposit first, but when Ye Tong came over, she didn't take her deposit every time.

  And every time Ye Tong took the flowers out and sold them for a long time, she didn't pay attention to watering them and the flowers withered, but she never cared.

  She was naturally a little curious when she saw Ye Tong come back so quickly today, and even the flower basket was missing.

  "I have a brother who has always been very kind to me. When I happened to meet him, he bought all my flowers and all the flower baskets."

  After saying that, Ye Tong handed over the three hundred yuan . Boss lady.

  "I don't know how much your flower basket costs. Boss, please see if three hundred yuan is enough." Ye Tong said cutely.

  After hearing this, the landlady only took back one hundred yuan and gave the remaining two hundred yuan to Ye Tong.

  "That flower basket is not worth anything. Since he bought it, you can consider it a good profit." The proprietress touched Ye Tong's head and said with a smile.

  With two red tickets, it was the first time Ye Tong had made so much money in one day. She was so excited that her breathing became rapid.

  She doesn't come here every day, but every now and then.

  The rest of the time she has to take care of her mother at home.

  Her father likes drinking and gambling. Once he drinks, he becomes a different person. If he is unhappy, he will beat and scold the two of them. He also idles around all day and rarely goes out to make money. The whole family basically depends on Ye Tong's mother. In support.

  This put Ye Tong's mother under tremendous pressure.

  On the one hand, she has to work hard and on the other hand, she has to endure the unprovoked beatings and scoldings from her husband.

  Originally, she was trying to earn a lot of money every day to pay off her debts so that debt collectors would not come to bully her children. However, her hard work and high-intensity work had already exhausted her body. As a result, she had to endure beatings and scoldings from her husband from time to time for no reason.

  Living under such high-intensity pressure, such as work pressure, life pressure, and physical and mental exhaustion, it was inevitable that she would fall ill.

  But the more she behaved like this, the angrier and cold-eyed Ye Tong's father became towards her. He only wanted money when he came home, completely regardless of Yue Yuqing's physical condition. Once he couldn't get the money, he would beat people.

  Yue Yuqing was already ill and was being beaten, so it took even longer for her to recover.

  The slower your health improves, the harder it is to go out to make money, and the harder it is to go out to make money, the more you will be beaten and scolded.

  Directly fell into a vicious cycle.

  But facing this kind of devil who would go crazy and kill himself and his daughter once he was cornered, Yue Yuqing couldn't resist.

  She is not afraid of something happening to herself, she is only afraid of something happening to her daughter.

  No matter how great the pain was, she endured it for the sake of this well-behaved and sensible daughter, but now it was not a matter of whether she could bear it. If this vicious cycle continued, she had no doubt that she might be beaten by her devil husband first. died.

  Ye Tong also saw such a scene and was afraid that her father would beat her wildly if her mother failed to pay. She was forced to go out to make money for her mother to reduce the possibility of her mother being beaten.

  Today was the biggest harvest that Ye Tong had ever had when she went out to make money, but she also knew that this kind of harvest was not possible in ordinary times. It was only because Brother Mo took care of himself that he had such a big harvest.

  But she was still prepared to return the 100 yuan profit from selling flower baskets to Chen Mo.
