Free Web NovelChapter 1367: Chapter 1362: Laying in Wait
"Mother, please don’t cry, I’m back..."
Mu Shuangshuang gently comforted Yu Si Niang, but the more she comforted, the harder Yu Si Niang cried.
The words Li Juhua said last night still lingered in her mind, unable to be dispelled.
For an entire day and night, she lost her appetite and dared not close her eyes.
She feared that once she closed them, something might happen to her daughter.
"Father, please come and persuade my mother!" Mu Shuangshuang felt helpless and turned to Mu Dashan for help.
Mu Dashan stepped forward and supported Yu Si Niang.
After helping Mu Shuangshuang say a bunch of comforting words, he mentioned how Shuangshuang led people to capture Wang Dali last night, and not only did they not suffer losses, but they also managed to catch him and give Wang Dali a good lesson.
He praised Mu Shuangshuang’s skills and assured that Shuangshuang wouldn’t suffer losses in this matter.
Moreover, Yu Liulang, Yu Dalang, and Yu Erlang were all there protecting Shuangshuang.
The heavy stone in Yu Si Niang’s heart finally began to settle down.
Yu Si Niang said, "As long as no one is hurt, I don’t care if my daughter is a hero or not! Her safety is more important than anything!"
Mu Dashan agreed, "You’re right! Let’s just focus on our own lives, and nothing else!"
Yu Si Niang nodded, "Yes, that’s right! Oh, why did you all come back so late, and Xiao Hua, why are you out here? Did Sixth Son send you, or did something happen with Old Yu Family?"
"Mother, this matter is a long story! Let’s get inside first; Aunt Xiao Hua is pregnant and mustn’t exert herself!"
Upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words, Yu Si Niang began to usher everyone inside.
Everyone, influenced by Mu Shuangshuang’s ’long story’ remark, did not go to sleep, even the little children.
They found a spot and stood close to Mu Shuangshuang, eager to listen to what she would say next.
Mu Shuangshuang began recounting the incident of Wang Dali being caught, then released by Li Juhua.
This frightened and worried Yu Si Niang, causing cold sweat to break out on her forehead.
Having lived in Yu Family Village for many years, she knew Wang Dali well enough.
In her eyes, Wang Dali was not a good person, and held a particularly strong sense of vengeance.
"Oh, what a sin, what is my sister-in-law thinking? How could she let Wang Dali go, isn’t this... isn’t this... causing trouble for Old Yu Family? Wang Dali is ruthless, what if he retaliates against Old Yu Family, we..."
Yu Si Niang couldn’t finish her sentence.
"Right now, the biggest issue isn’t even that. It’s that the villagers of Yu Family Village want to kill Li Juhua, while Grandpa and Grandma want to give her a chance!
Thus, within the next two days, Wang Dali must be captured, otherwise, Li Juhua will certainly be dragged into a pigsty; she might even lose her life."
Listening to Mu Shuangshuang’s words, Yu Si Niang shook her head repeatedly, feeling deeply troubled.
"Fourth sister, the matter is over, the villagers are searching for Wang Dali, maybe they’ve found him!
Our Old Yu Family consists of good people, good people will receive blessings, everything will be fine!"
Even Feng Xiaohua, a pregnant woman, came to comfort Yu Si Niang.
Yu Si Niang, despite her worries and fears, could no longer show any emotions.
She stood up, "Let’s discuss the rest tomorrow, you’ve all worked hard today!
Xiao Hua, sleep in Shuangshuang’s room tonight. During these days, please feel free to stay here, treat it as your own home.
If there’s anything you want to eat, or shouldn’t eat, just let me know in advance, don’t be polite!"
Feng Xiaohua quickly shook her head, "Fourth sister, it’s like home here, I understand!
As for food, whatever you make, I’ll eat, no restrictions!"
Mu Shuangshuang, noticing her large belly, feared that sleeping together might squeeze Feng Xiaohua.
Thus, she said, "I’ll sleep in Fengzi’s room with Yuanbao; after all, he’s not here, and there are two rooms! My room is just right for Aunt Xiao Hua!"
"That works!" Yu Si Niang and Mu Dashan exchanged glances and nodded together.
Two days in a row have been busy, with no proper meals, Mu Shuangshuang was truly exhausted.
After washing up, she didn’t take long before falling asleep.
...
The next day, Mu Shuangshuang got up early to make breakfast for Feng Xiaohua.
Egg pancakes, noodles, and sauerkraut pork soup, the meat was freshly cut from Mu Dalang in the morning, purely lean.
The flavor of the meat soup was very delicious.
Feng Xiaohua drank two bowls in a row, then after breakfast, Mu Shuangshuang headed to town alone.
She had to go to town to inquire about the situation, hoping to run into Wang Dali, which would save them a lot of trouble!
Feng Xiaohua wanted to accompany her, but Mu Shuangshuang refused.
This trip, she didn’t know when she would return, might even stay in town.
Feng Xiaohua with a child in her belly, it’s inconvenient to travel by carriage and live outside.
Only then did Feng Xiaohua give up the idea of accompanying Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang drove alone to the town tavern.
Her appearance inevitably surprised the tavern staff and Yu Dahai.
Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t visited the tavern for several days, previously due to being busy with the autumn harvest.
And then to prepare various things for the Northwest trip.
Everyone exchanged pleasantries with Mu Shuangshuang, and some diners even asked when she would personally perform the storybook again, which Mu Shuangshuang declined due to family matters.
Mu Shuangshuang had already postponed several performances.
Although she arranged for Huang Er to perform on her behalf, it just wasn’t the same.
Mu Shuangshuang pulled Yu Dahai aside, discussing the matter of Wang Dali.
Without much hesitation, Yu Dahai offered advice to Mu Shuangshuang.
"It’s best to hire some folks from various backgrounds to station themselves at the clinic, gambling dens, brothel’s entrances; you can draw, finding someone shouldn’t be a big deal!"
Yu Dahai said.
"But I don’t have much time! I can at most spend two days on this matter, and then I have to go to the county!"
Yu Dahai knew how much preparation Mu Shuangshuang had done for the Northwest trip.
The most crucial part was that she couldn’t leave the county immediately; she had to allow enough time to obtain the county escort agency’s escort master qualification.
Time was tight, the longer delayed in town, the less time she could utilize in the county.
"If that’s the case, why not directly bribe the little medicine boys in the clinic? Have them notify our people if they spot Wang Dali.
In this way, as soon as Wang Dali appears in town, capturing him will be certain!"
Yu Dahai’s suggestion was approved by Mu Shuangshuang.
Up until now, she still believed Wang Dali would come to town!
And would definitely go to the town clinic to heal.
Patiently, Mu Shuangshuang waited in town for a whole day.
That day, no news came.
The third branch and Old Yu Family almost lost hope, but Mu Shuangshuang showed no signs of emotional outburst.
Since leaving home, she never returned to the third branch, any news was carried away to the countryside.
Finally, by noon on the second day, news came from the clinic that Wang Dali had been sighted!
