Mu Zhenzhen returned to the Old Mu Family and exaggeratedly accused Mu Shuangshuang again.
The rest of the Old Mu Family were so angry their mouths twisted.
"Mom, where does that brat get her money from, eating at today and tomorrow?" Mrs. Lin looked displeased, "You say she eats, fine, but why does she eat alone and doesn’t share a bit with us?"
Old Mrs. Mu was even more infuriated; she, as the grandmother, doesn’t enjoy any respect or filial piety.
"Who do you think you are? I, an old woman, get none, and you, a second aunt, think you’ll get sothing? Give it up!"
Mrs. Lin’s face turned blue and white.
In her heart, she couldn’t help but retort; if that old woman were willing to buy those things, she wouldn’t have to be envious of that brat for what she has.
"Mom, please don’t say that, I just want so at. Go buy so from Lu Yuanfeng’s place, it’s only fourteen coins per pound, buy two pounds, let us have a taste." Mu Zhenzhen coaxed Old Mrs. Mu, acting spoiled.
"Zhenzhen, it’s not that I don’t want to buy it, it’s that I truly have no money left, all the money went to your brother..." Old Mrs. Mu feared Mu Dade would go hungry, so she gave him all her remaining savings, even what was supposed to be kept for her coffin, leaving nothing for buying at.
"Brother, brother, brother, is there anyone else in your eyes besides him? He’s the one going for exams, all the silver goes to him, why don’t you think of us? Hmph, I’m skipping lunch, you eat by yourself!"
Mu Zhenzhen said this, stord off angrily.
Old Mrs. Mu felt deep pain inside, wanting to chase after Mu Zhenzhen, but Mu Xiangxiang woke up, mumbling about having no shoes to wear, no clothes.
Old Mrs. Mu glanced in Mu Zhenzhen’s direction, stamped her feet, and headed towards Mu Xiangxiang’s room.
As soon as she left the Old Mu Family house, Mu Zhenzhen regretted it; she had nothing on her now, was she really skipping lunch?
While walking, she unexpectedly ran into Liu Wangcai.
"Zhenzhen, why are you back?" Liu Wangcai’s face instantly lit up upon seeing Mu Zhenzhen suddenly appear.
A few days ago, ever since Liu Wangcai sent Mu Zhenzhen to Dahuo Village, her pretty face and slender waist kept appearing in his mind.
Unlike the pig-wife at his ho, big and thick-waisted, who likes hitting people.
Every night, Liu Wangcai thought of Mu Zhenzhen, enabling him to endure doing it once with that pig-wife.
Now that Mu Zhenzhen appeared, he felt it was the heavens giving him a chance to realize his dreams, particularly since the pig-wife had returned to her parents’ ho these days.
"Brother Wangcai, why are you here too?"
Mu Zhenzhen similarly felt she found hope; although Liu Wangcai was disgusting, she was desperate now. If she could have a al at his place and get so silver to replenish her costics, she could doll herself up again.
Even though Mu Zhenzhen was unreliable, her taste was impeccable. She definitely wouldn’t display the kind of taste her younger sister Mu Xiangxiang did; she’d never paint her face like a monkey’s rear.
"I was just taking a walk, just a walk..." Liu Wangcai smiled on the surface, but in his heart, he thought about tricking her into his ho.
On the other hand, Mu Zhenzhen pondered how to get Liu Wangcai to invite her voluntarily; eventually, Liu Wangcai couldn’t hold back and initiated: "Zhenzhen, you haven’t had lunch yet, right? I want to throw a welcoming banquet for you. We’ve been friends for so many years, let make you sothing good to eat as a reception."
Mu Zhenzhen waited for these words, she agreed without thinking.
"That’s great, but my family is making braised pork and killing a chicken today, you have to make those for , or else I’ll go ho and eat."
The pork was manageable; it only cost Liu Wangcai a dozen coins, but the chicken was his pig-wife’s treasure at ho. If eaten, he might get skinned.
Seeing Liu Wangcai hesitate, Mu Zhenzhen swiftly stepped back a few steps. "If you don’t have it, forget it, I’ll go ho and eat."
"No, no, no, I’ll go ho and kill the chicken right now!"
With the fat at in his mouth, how could he not eat it? At worst, when the pig-wife cos back, she can give him a beating.
Thinking it this way, Liu Wangcai felt comfortable and was more determined to get so benefits from Mu Zhenzhen.
The two were very close, walking toward Liu Wangcai’s house, neither noticed Little Zhi and Little Black climbing out from the bushes, watching them leave.
Little Zhi picked up Little Black, curiously asked, "Little Black, do you know why Second Aunt went to Uncle Liu’s house?"
Little Black shook its head for a long ti but didn’t give any useful information to Little Zhi.
"I don’t like Uncle Wangcai; he always looks lecherous, and the fat girl at his house is ferocious, so bad."
Little Zhi murmured to herself, unexpectedly this made Little Black stretch out its paw, slashing fiercely in the air.
Little Zhi imdiately understood, she touched Little Black’s head, "Good boy, if the fat girl cos out to make trouble again, I’ll take you to scratch her!"
...
...
Liu Wangcai was almost ho with Mu Zhenzhen when he spotted his pig-wife’s belly band and those drab underpants still hanging on the bamboo pole. Afraid Mu Zhenzhen might overthink, he hurriedly said:
"Zhenzhen, you wait here, I’ll tidy up the house. You know, I haven’t married, so there’s no one to clean up."
Mu Zhenzhen detested dirt, she couldn’t tidy her own room well, let alone others’; she wasn’t interested in cleaning or looking.
She rely waved her hand, "Quick, go on, it’s best to kill the chicken as well, I can’t stand the sight of blood."
"Got it, right away!"
Liu Wangcai rushed into his house like a whirlwind, tidying up the woman’s clothes on the bamboo pole, fearing they’d be discovered, packaged the garnts, and placed them on the roof of the outhouse, planning to bring them inside once Mu Zhenzhen left.
As soon as he left, a flock of birds flew by, dropping quite a bit of bird droppings on the clothes.
Liu Wangcai hurried to the chicken coop, grabbed a plump chicken, slaughtered and bled it, boiled so water, then called for Mu Zhenzhen.
Mu Zhenzhen didn’t look around as Liu Wangcai expected; instead, she focused on the chicken, urging Liu Wangcai to hurry up and cook.
"Wangcai, if you finish cooking within the hour, I’ll give you sothing good."
Liu Wangcai looked Mu Zhenzhen up and down; he figured the "good thing" in her words was nothing but herself.
Thus, he worked even faster, soon plucking the chicken feathers, and putting it in the pot to stew.
The rice was ready, Liu Wangcai planned to do sothing else, and he said to Mu Zhenzhen, who kept an eye on the stove: "Zhenzhen, are you tired? How about I take you to rest for a while?"
Mu Zhenzhen rolled her eyes, "It’s not even noon yet, rest for what? Also, didn’t you say you’d weigh the at? Where is it? Without at, I’ll leave!"
She appeared ready to get up, Liu Wangcai feared her departure at that mont would make his slaughtered chicken go to waste, so he hastily said: "I...I’ll go buy it now, please don’t leave!"
