Upon hearing that she had to serve tea to Old Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Lin panicked: "I won’t go, Dad. Ever since Mom hurt her back and lay on the bed, she’s been like a rabid dog.
Whoever she catches, she curses. This morning, when I brought breakfast, she almost flayed my skin off."
"Second daughter-in-law, are you actually speaking like a human being? What do you an she’s like a rabid dog? Would you dare to say that in front of her?" Mr. Mu asked.
Mrs. Lin quickly explained: "Dad, that’s not what I ant. I was... I was just saying that Mom’s been in a bad temper lately. If you ask to bring her tea, aren’t you sending to my death?
Even though I’m rely your daughter-in-law, you should still treat a little better."
Mr. Mu was furious.
"Fine, second daughter-in-law. If delivering tea is such a big deal that you’d rather die, then I’ll just have soone else do it."
"Bita..." Mr. Mu was about to call Huang Bita, but then recalled how Old Mrs. Mu had used Huang Bita as an excuse during a previous argunt.
"Danyan, you’ve been away for days, your mom must miss you. You should take care of the tea delivery, and greet her too so she won’t worry."
Mu Danian nodded hastily: "Dad, leave it to , don’t worry."
After lunch, Huang Bita stayed in the dining hall to clean up, and Mu Danian deliberately lingered to catch a mont alone with her.
Tonight, with Mu Dalang absent, as an uncle, he needed to properly look after his nephew’s wife.
"Bita, with Da Lang not around tonight, if you’re scared, rember to call Uncle Wu." Mu Danian said.
Huang Bita’s eyes turned red with anger instantly.
She cursed, "Get out! Get out, or I’ll call for help."
Only then did Mu Danian reluctantly stand up.
"Don’t be upset, I’m leaving, I’m leaving right away." With those words, Mu Danian indeed left.
Huang Bita stood there trembling with rage. If not for the night’s major plan, she certainly wouldn’t have managed.
-
At night, Mu Shuangshuang and Huang Bita were ambushed inside the house, while Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Dalang were outside.
The two found piles of straw as cover, hiding themselves, waiting quietly for Mu Danian to arrive.
Ti passed for quite a while, with Mu Danian not showing up, during which Huang Bita several tis considered going out to call Mu Dalang inside, fearing he’d freeze. If not for Mu Shuangshuang accompanying her, her patience would have worn thin.
"Shuangshuang, it’s so late, do you think he’ll still co?" Huang Bita asked.
"Of course he will, as long as it’s Mu Danian, as long as he harbors intentions towards you." Mu Shuangshuang replied.
"But, Shuangshuang, I’m scared!" Huang Bita said.
Mu Shuangshuang held her hand gently and comforted her: "Don’t be afraid, I’m here! Besides, Fengzi and cousin are outside.
They’ll handle whatever happens, we’re safe inside the house."
Although speaking as such, Huang Bita remained anxious, having to take several deep breaths to calm herself slightly.
Finally, just as Huang Bita was running out of patience, there was movent outside.
A dark figure appeared outside the door, just as Mu Dalang had described before.
First it wandered around Mu Dalang and Huang Bita’s house, then pressed close against the door and window, seemingly eavesdropping.
Additionally, Huang Bita felt the shadow dip a finger in saliva and poke a hole in the window.
Huang Bita grew increasingly tense...
Outside, Mu Danian withdrew his index finger and dipped it back in his mouth, intending to enlarge the hole in the window.
Suddenly, he realized his actions were a complete waste of ti!
Da Lang wasn’t even ho, so what was he afraid of?
Mu Danian suddenly let out a chilling laugh, adding a layer of horror to the dark night.
Huang Bita started to clutch Mu Shuangshuang’s hand, extrely frightened, even knowing there were people outside, she was still scared.
"Bita, are you asleep?" Mu Danian feigned lowering his voice, creating a scary atmosphere, as he greeted Huang Bita.
Huang Bita naturally didn’t respond.
Mu Danian straightened up and pushed at the door; when it wouldn’t open, he took out a prepared cleaver and slashed at the latch, easily opening it.
The cleaver was tossed into the yard, and he leisurely walked into Mu Dalang’s room.
Inside was pitch black, visibility zero.
Yet, one could barely discern the position of the bed, vaguely making out a person on it.
Mu Danian emitted that strange laugh again, the sound was extrely piercing.
Mu Danian thought Huang Bita was deeply asleep, so his footsteps grew louder!
At that mont, Mu Danian felt heaven was being kind to him, after such a long wait, he finally had the chance for a close view of Da Lang’s wife.
But...
"Why’s it like this? Is there really no one?" Mu Danian murmured.
"Impossible, there was a cough!"
Suddenly, a burlap sack dropped from above, tightly covering Mu Danian’s head.
Then another cough was heard.
A torrent of sticks rained down on Mu Danian’s body.
Mu Danian cried out in pain, shouting: "Bita, Bita, what are you doing? It’s , I’m your Uncle Wu."
"Uncle Wu? Hmph, why are you in my room?" Huang Bita asked.
"I... I just ca to check on you, release quickly, I have sothing to say." Mu Danian tried to persuade Huang Bita to free him.
"Say sothing? In the middle of the night? Coming into my room?" Huang Bita sneered.
"No, listen to explain, I... ow... it hurts so much."
Before Mu Danian finished speaking, Mu Shuangshuang swung a wooden stick at his lower back, Mu Danian felt his waist split into two, his mouth releasing howls of pain once more.
