Chapter 85: Heart-Breakingly Sensible! (Two in One)

"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, but 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.

How many flowers are there in your flower basket? 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 all these flowers. If brother needs so many roses, 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 was a rare opportunity to meet his big brother whom he liked very much. 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 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."

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

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...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 or something." Ye Tong took out a rose and said as if he understood.

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 and handed 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 Chen Mo bought so many flowers to please this beautiful sister, so she wanted to ask Lin Xinru to help her persuade her.

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 what this well-behaved and sensible little girl said, Lin Xinru couldn't help but her eyes became slightly moist. She was such a well-behaved and sensible child. 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 sell your flowers to me without any worries."

"Ah? Brother Mo, 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 surprisingly sensible. She stretched out her little hand and held Chen Mo's cheek tightly, asking him to look at her, and then warned like a little adult: "Brother Mo, I listen. It is said that many people spend money randomly after winning the lottery and become paupers in the end.

Even if you win the lottery, you should not spend money randomly, otherwise you will spend all your money easily. "

After speaking, Ye Tong touched Chen Mo's forehead with his forehead and turned it around, as if he was instilling his belief in Chen Mo and telling him not to spend money recklessly.

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 won’t blame me for selling too 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 my boss, just take the 200 yuan and I’ll take the money.”

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 is for your small flower basket." Chen Mo said with a smile.

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

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

"Hey, why do you call brother Mo brother?" Tongtong is very sensible in some things, but stupid in others.

Looking at her cute appearance, Lin Xinru smiled and said, "Because 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, I'm going home to eat after selling flowers." Ye Tong said obediently.

"Then you don't have to go home first. What's your mother's phone number? I'll tell your mother, you can go to dinner with me, and then go home after dinner."

"How can that be possible?" Ye Tong shook her head and refused.

Hearing her say this, Chen Mo deliberately frowned and said: "Brother Mo treats Tongtong as his own sister. Is there anything wrong with a brother taking his own sister to dinner? Do you think it's not okay? Do you think Brother Mo is an outsider? If you don't like Brother Mo, he will be very sad!"

When Chen Mo said this, Ye Tong was so anxious that she shook her head like a rattle.

She still liked Chen Mo very much and treated him as her own brother. She just said it was not possible because she thought Chen Mo was an outsider or didn't trust him. She was just afraid that Chen Mo and Lin Xinru were dating now, and she would be a light bulb if she went there.

Although she was not very old, she was still clear about this.

However, in order to avoid Brother Mo misunderstanding that she didn't like him and treated him as an outsider, Ye Tong didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only nod and agree.

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

Ye Tong reported a number to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo immediately called.

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

"Hello..."

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

But thinking of what Ye Tong said just now that her mother was not feeling well at home, maybe she had a cold, Chen Mo didn't care too much.

"Hello, is this Sister Qing? This is Momo, do you remember me?"

Originally, the other party hadn't heard who was calling, but as the familiar voice and familiar name came at the same time, Yue Yuqing immediately smiled and said: "Ahem... It turned out to be Momo, Sister Qing of course remembers you, how did you get my number."

"It was given to me by Tongtong. I was preparing to have dinner outside and happened to meet Tongtong selling flowers. I wanted to take her to dinner, so I told you in advance so that the family doesn't have to prepare dinner for her."

"How can I be embarrassed? This child is really, I told her not to go out, but she insisted on going out to make money, ahem..."

Yue Yuqing coughed a few times every time she said a word, it seems that she is really ill.

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

"That's really too much trouble for you, Momo." Yue Yuqing still trusted Chen Mo, so she didn't worry about what would happen to her daughter if she followed Chen Mo.

"What are you talking about, Sister Qing? That's it. By the way, I see you seem to be a little uncomfortable. Are you sick?"

"Just a little cold, it's okay, it will be better soon."

"Where do you live now? I'll stop by to see you when I send Tongtong home."

"No. 158 Minsheng Road."

"Okay, I'll remember that. See you later."

Chen Mo hung up the phone, and Ye Tong immediately said, "Brother Mo, I have to give the money to the boss first. Wait for me."

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

"What a well-behaved, sensible and lovable little kid. I really don't know if being so sensible at this age is a good thing." Lin Xinru sighed as she looked at the mature air of a little adult that Ye Tong sometimes showed.

"Sister Qing's husband is not a good guy. Not only does he not make money, but he often comes home with a lot of gambling debts, which is why their family is like this now and has forced Tongtong to mature so early."

"Ah? You don't want to divorce?"

"I dare not divorce. Her husband said that if she dares to divorce, he will kill her and her mother. For Tongtong, Sister Qing can only swallow her anger." Speaking of this, Chen Mo has already thought of what to do in his heart. In the past, even if he knew these things, he was not able to help Yue Yuqing get rid of her husband.

Let alone the previous Chen Mo, even if he took the official route, this kind of dog-skin plaster once stuck to Yue Yuqing's body, it can't be easily peeled off.

To deal with such people, you must take more unscrupulous means than the other party.

"That's really miserable. It's a nightmare for a lifetime to have such a person." Lin Xinru heard it horrible, and hugged Chen Mo's arm 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 did you come back so soon today?"

The owner of this flower shop is actually a very good person. Generally, people who come to her to take flowers to sell have to pay a deposit first, but every time Ye Tong came, she never collected her deposit.

And every time Ye Tong took the flowers out, she didn't pay attention to watering them after selling them for a long time, so the flowers wilted, but she never cared.

Seeing Ye Tong come back so soon today, and even the flower basket was gone, she was naturally a little curious.

"There is a brother who has always been very good to me. He happened to meet me and bought all my flowers and the flower basket."

Ye Tong handed three hundred yuan to the boss lady.

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

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

"That flower basket is not worth much. Since he bought it, you can count this money as a good profit." The boss lady touched Ye Tong's head and said with a smile.

Two red bills, it was the first time that Ye Tong made so much money in one day, she was so excited that she couldn't help but breathe fast.

She didn't come here every day, but every three or five days.

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

Her father liked to drink and gamble. Once he drank, he was like a different person. He would beat and scold her and her mother when he was unhappy. He was idle all day and hardly went out to make money. The whole family basically relied on Ye Tong's mother to support it.

This made Ye Tong's mother bear tremendous pressure.

On the one hand, she worked hard, and on the other hand, she had to endure her husband's unreasonable beatings and scoldings.

Originally, in order to make a lot of money to pay off debts every day, so as to prevent debt collectors from coming to bully her children, she worked hard and worked hard, and her body was overdrawn. As a result, she had to endure her husband's occasional beatings and scoldings for no reason.

Living under such high-intensity pressure from work and life, she was exhausted physically and mentally, so she naturally fell ill.

But the more she did this, the angrier and colder Ye Tong's father became towards her. He went home to ask for money, not caring about Yue Yuqing's physical condition at all. If he couldn't get the money, he would beat her.

Yue Yuqing was already ill, and she was beaten, so her health would recover even slower.

The slower she recovered, the harder it was to go out to make money, and the harder it was to go out to make money, the more she would be beaten and scolded.

She fell into a vicious cycle.

But facing this devil who would go crazy and kill herself and her daughter once he was forced into a desperate situation, Yue Yuqing couldn't resist.

She wasn't afraid of anything happening to herself, she was only afraid of something happening to her daughter.

No matter how much pain she suffered, she endured it for this well-behaved and sensible daughter, but now it wasn't a question of whether she could endure it or not. If this vicious cycle continued, she had no doubt that she might be beaten to death by her demon husband first.

Ye Tong was also afraid that her father would beat her crazily if her mother couldn't give money because she saw such a scene, so she could only be forced to go out to make money for her mother to reduce the possibility of her mother being beaten.

Today was the biggest gain for Ye Tong since she went out to earn money, but she also knew that this kind of gain was not possible at ordinary times. It was only because Brother Mo took care of her that she could get such a big gain.

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