Free Web NovelChapter 1362: Chapter 1357: I’m a Hero Too!
Mr. Yu listened to his sons describe the scene from last night, feeling his heart pounding.
He then looked at his granddaughter, who wore a very ordinary smile.
She didn’t seem smug after accomplishing such a big task; this kind of composure is something many people can’t achieve!
"Shuangshuang, come quickly, let grandpa see if you’re hurt! Child, you have made a great contribution to our village!" Mr. Yu said, his face once again streaming with tears!
Mu Shuangshuang gently comforted Mr. Yu.
"Grandpa, it’s fine, I am not hurt! Everyone took part in this, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Sixth Uncle, all of them were brave; they made sure our Old Yu Family didn’t lose face!"
As soon as Mu Shuangshuang finished saying this, the old man laughed!
"You, girl, really know how to bluff! Your grandma and the others must be worried sick, you all have breakfast first, and after breakfast, I’ll head to Er Gui Village to find them!"
Not only the Old Yu Family, but other village people also wanted to go fetch their wives and children back.
How could the household manage without women to take care of things?
However, there was no need to wait to fetch them. After the sun came out, women with children started to return to the village one after another.
Everyone was on edge, afraid of not seeing their husbands in the village but instead encountering Wang Dali’s group of bandits.
Yet, despite the fear, they had to go see!
Men are like the sky, without them, many of these women feared they couldn’t survive!
The Yu Family followed the others’ steps, taking a carriage back to the village.
The driver was Mu Dashan, who learned all about the events when they sought refuge at Mu Dashan’s house in Er Gui Village yesterday.
Yesterday, he wanted to see his daughter.
It was the Yu Family members repeatedly emphasizing Mu Shuangshuang’s wishes that kept him from coming.
He was anxious all night and couldn’t sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, he hurried over.
Fortunately, nothing had happened!
His daughter was there, as were his in-laws!
It was fortune within misfortune!
Li Juhua followed the crowd, peeking into the Yu Family courtyard.
Her sneaky appearance remained the same as before.
Yet, her face had thickened over the years.
Even after being abandoned for a long time, she still clung to the Old Yu Family, stayed in Yu Erlang’s room.
Upon seeing Yu Erlang, Mrs. Li pounced on him, muttering, "Er Lang, it’s lucky you’re okay; if something happened to you, how could Tiancai and I live!"
Yu Erlang pushed Mrs. Li away and then said to her, "Calm down, there are so many people here! If people see this, are you not ashamed?"
"Er Lang, what shame or not, I only know you are the father of my son, and I am your woman!"
Mrs. Li spoke with utter shamelessness.
Yu Erlang’s face turned red, he whispered more reprimands, but Mrs. Li not only didn’t restrain herself, she escalated her actions, directly wrapping herself around Yu Erlang.
Yu Erlang had no choice; no matter what he said, she wouldn’t listen, scolding didn’t work, nor did reprimanding!
Mr. Yu and Old Mrs. Yu frowned deeply, showing clear dissatisfaction with Li Juhua’s actions.
"Aunt Li, it’s broad daylight with so many children here, shouldn’t you pay a little attention to your image?"
Mu Shuangshuang bluntly addressed Aunt Li, exposing Mrs. Li’s embarrassing status.
Mrs. Li had been reproached by Mu Shuangshuang many times before, and hearing that it was Mu Shuangshuang who had led the capture of Wang Dali, she subconsciously feared Mu Shuangshuang.
After Mu Shuangshuang spoke, she detached from Yu Erlang, turning to inquire about the events with others.
Mu Dashan pulled Mu Shuangshuang aside, evaluating her from head to toe.
Once sure Mu Shuangshuang was alright with no injuries, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You’re lucky; your mom was almost worried to death, you know?"
Mu Shuangshuang bowed her head, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Dad, I was wrong, next time, I will definitely discuss with you and Mom beforehand!"
Mu Shuangshuang assured Mu Dashan.
The man’s eyes suddenly reddened.
All night, knowing his daughter had taken a village of men to catch bandits.
Whether she would be in danger became a worry for Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang.
They couldn’t be at ease until they saw her!
"Dad isn’t blaming you; knowing you’re safe is enough for us!" Mu Dashan said, wiping away his tears.
"Let’s not stand around in the courtyard; get back inside, everyone who needs to rest, rest!
Those who need to handle things, handle them! Women, except for Shuangshuang, come to the kitchen with me; we’ll make dumplings at noon and have a family reunion meal!"
Old Mrs. Yu stood out, calling to everyone.
Everyone was delighted.
"We should celebrate! Shuangshuang, what would you like to eat? How about I make chicken soup for you?" Mr. Yu asked.
"And fish, I’ll go to Fisherman Zhou’s place to buy some fish, doesn’t Shuangshuang like fish?" Yu Liulang added.
The group truly adored Mu Shuangshuang.
In food, in use, everything was given to her!
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t hold back, "I’ll eat both fish and chicken! Today, I’m waiting for Grandma and Aunties to cook for me!"
Everyone was in high spirits, but Mrs. Li insisted on speaking up: "Mom, my skills aren’t great, I’ll just eat with Shuangshuang then! It counts as my contribution to everyone!"
Old Mrs. Yu rolled her eyes and led Yu Dalang’s wife and Feng Xiaohua into the house.
The men also ignored Li Juhua as Mu Dashan followed Mu Shuangshuang into the Yu Family house.
"What does this mean, a brat doesn’t have to work to eat, but I can’t?" Mrs. Li complained irritably.
Yu Tiancai sighed from the side.
"Mom, Sister Shuangshuang did the job, whether it’s grandpa and grandma, other uncles and aunties, or everyone in the whole village, they’re grateful to her!"
"She’s a hero, but I’m not? I gave birth to a son for the Old Yu Family! You’re my Li Juhua’s child, without me, where would you be? So I should be served too!"
Mrs. Li spoke with righteous confidence, completely missing how absurd the comparison was.
Yu Tiancai looked at his mother, feeling helpless, yet he couldn’t change anything!
He went straight into the house, behind him, came Li Juhua’s scolding voice: "You little punk, a heartless wretch! I carried you for ten months, and look how you turned out, a heartless thing!"
"Just wait and see, today I’ll eat without working, and demand they serve me well! I, Li Juhua, have never lost in my life, watch me!"
Saying her piece, Mrs. Li entered the Old Yu Family.
Returning to her room with Yu Erlang, Li Juhua began to sleep.
She was determined not to work, believing they wouldn’t dare not call her for food when it’s time to eat.
...
In the main room, The Yu Family once again started talking about what happened last night.
But this time, it was for Mu Dashan, a few women, and the children to hear.
Everyone knew, when Wang Dali was locked in the Yu Family’s warehouse, nearly everyone was trembling in fear.
"Dad, when are we getting rid of Wang Dali?"
