Chapter 1378: Chapter 1373: The Final Torment (First Update)
Before going to the county, Mu Shuangshuang stayed in Er Gui Village for two days.
During these two days, besides chatting casually with Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang, the rest of the time was devoted to figuring out how to torment Wang Dali!
After all, Wang Dali brought her quite a bit of trouble!
Not only did he waste her several days, the most important thing was, he also made the people of the Old Yu Family live in constant fear!
So now the man who had escaped once was chained by Mu Shuangshuang.
Every day, he was beaten hard by Mu Shuangshuang.
Since tomorrow was the day to go to the county, Mu Shuangshuang decided to beat Wang Dali one last time.
Wang Dali was trapped by Mu Shuangshuang in an unused woodshed of the Old Mu Family, filled with rats, cockroaches, and cobwebs.
When he pushed open the woodshed door and went in, the man tied up like a zongzi shot a vicious cold light from his eyes.
He stared fiercely at Mu Shuangshuang, as if he wanted to eat Mu Shuangshuang’s flesh and drink her blood!
He hated Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t affected by Wang Dali’s hatred in the slightest. She slightly curled her lips, "Having you chained for two days has left you in such a state! What about those people you harmed to death? Shouldn’t they eat your flesh and peel your skin alive?"
Wang Dali’s mouth was stuffed with a rag, unable to speak, but his hatred for Mu Shuangshuang didn’t diminish in the least.
Mu Shuangshuang walked up and yanked out the rag stuffed in Wang Dali’s mouth.
"You old hag, if you’ve got the guts, just kill me!"
Wang Dali cursed.
As soon as he finished cursing, Mu Shuangshuang picked up the stick in her hand and smacked him, causing Wang Dali to grimace in pain.
"Killing you is too cheap! I heard you stayed in the county prison before; how was it?
Is it scarier than this woodshed? Don’t worry, last time you were lucky and had a chance to get out, this time, after you killed so many people, don’t even think about coming out again!"
Mu Shuangshuang calmly spoke of Wang Dali’s most feared thing.
"You old hag, just wait, if I, Wang Dali, don’t die, I’ll make sure your Old Yu Family people pay with their lives!
Your sixth uncle is the first I’ll kill. I’m going to flay him! I’ll..."
Every time Wang Dali cursed, Mu Shuangshuang would hit him with the stick.
Each hit was harder than the last!
Compared to the prison, Mu Shuangshuang wanted to send Wang Dali to hell even more.
After all, doing so would mean never having to worry about this person causing trouble again!
At first, Wang Dali could bear the pain on his body, but gradually, as each hit landed on the same spot, he started to find it unbearable.
Sweat started pouring down his forehead, and he began to convulse uncontrollably.
Wang Dali opened his mouth, wanting to curse Mu Shuangshuang, but the pain on his body repeatedly reminded him that the woman in front of him was not to be messed with!
She’s no pushover!
"Wang Dali, today is the last time I teach you a lesson, tomorrow when we get to town, I’ll have someone take you to the county government!"
Mu Shuangshuang’s plan was to dress as a man daily, and solve Wang Dali’s issue first on the way.
She wouldn’t let Wang Dali know she was the one delivering him.
First, it could save a lot of trouble, and second, it would prevent her identity from being exposed.
Upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words, Wang Dali’s eyes immediately widened like copper bells.
"How dare you..."
"I absolutely dare! Before it was just me teaching you lightly, today I’ll show you what shameless truly means!"
After Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, she kicked Wang Dali in the abdomen.
Left and right hooks swung back and forth, accompanied only by Wang Dali’s wailing sounds.
By the time Mu Shuangshuang finished beating, Wang Dali was already black and blue, barely breathing.
Mu Shuangshuang stuffed the rag back into his mouth, stepped out of the woodshed, not forgetting to lock it up.
She hadn’t taken two steps when she spotted Mrs. Liu, who came over to watch the excitement.
"Fourth Aunt..." Mu Shuangshuang called out.
Mrs. Liu rushed over, "That person..."
"No worries, tomorrow we’ll send him to the county prison, and you won’t see him again!"
Mrs. Liu’s anxious heart instantly relaxed.
"Shuangshuang, I heard from your mother that you’re going to the county tomorrow? Can you bring some things for me?" Mrs. Liu asked cautiously, observing Mu Shuangshuang’s expression.
"For my Fourth Uncle and Xiaxia and Xiao Chu?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"Yes, I’ve been helping your mother with the school lunches these days, and saved some money. Can you give it to Daddy Xiaxia?
Plus some pickled radishes and veggies I made myself, take them all over! Xiangxiang doesn’t eat those things, and I can’t eat much myself, better to give them something to eat!"
Speaking of Mu Dajiang, Mu Xiaxia, and Mu Xiaochu, Mrs. Liu’s face was filled with happiness.
She always longed for time to pass quickly, so she could go to the county sooner and reunite with her husband and children.
"Sure!" Mu Shuangshuang did not refuse Mrs. Liu.
She had no reason to refuse.
"I’ll head to the county town tomorrow morning, Fourth Aunt can prepare a day’s worth of stuff, anything at all!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
Mrs. Liu’s face instantly lit up with joy.
"Then I won’t hold you up, I’ll go prepare things first!" Mrs. Liu said as she rushed back towards Old Mu’s kitchen.
Mu Shuangshuang watched her leave, and once she was gone, she returned to the third branch.
She had long prepared her things for the trip to the county.
Ready to depart at any time!
The only reason for the delay until now was completely because Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang, and a few of the little ones, were reluctant to let her go; otherwise, she would have already become an escort master at the County Town Distant Escort Agency.
Becoming an escort master would mean she could go to the Northwest!
The journey would be much more secure!
Just as Mu Shuangshuang stepped back into the room, Yu Si Niang followed in after her.
She was holding a cloth bundle in her hand, and before Mu Shuangshuang could open her mouth to ask, Yu Si Niang said, "Shuangshuang, this is the silver your father and I saved. Going to the Northwest for sure costs a lot of money! Consider this a little support from your father and me, take it!"
After deducting the thousands of pounds of rice given to Mr. Mu from the Old Mu Family’s land, Yu Si Niang and Mu Dashan still made a small profit, plus they themselves owned quite a bit of land.
Now, the two of them had accumulated a couple of taels of silver, which was quite rare in the village.
"Mom, what are you saying, I don’t lack money! Not a bit!"
Mu Shuangshuang refused, genuinely wealthy, not to mention just the silver found at Wang Dali’s stash was enough for her to have a lavish time in the Northwest!
Plus, she had skills; going to the Northwest, she could definitely make money grow.
"But your father said..."
"Mom, what Dad says is what Dad says, don’t listen! Once I leave, no one will be sending you money at home, Yuanbao, Xiao Han, and Little Zhi are all growing and need an egg a day.
You and Dad, at least make sure you eat a meal with meat a day, don’t save so hard that you buy nothing!"
