Free Web NovelChapter 1380: Chapter 1375: Tomorrow, Taohua Will Be Sent to Her Death
"I want to ask if anyone wants the pig’s trotters. If no one wants them, I’ll buy them and take them back!"
"What are you talking about, buying? Just take them back with you!" Mu Dalang wasn’t pleased.
Speaking so politely to family!
Mu Shuangshuang was taken aback, then burst into laughter.
"One pig’s trotter is worth quite a bit! I still want to buy some meat. Are you letting me take it all back too?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"Yeah! As long as you want to eat, we can give you a whole pig every day!" Mu Dalang promised earnestly.
Afraid that Mu Shuangshuang wouldn’t believe him, he turned to ask Huang Bitao, "Bitao, am I right? If Shuangshuang wants it, we’ll give it to her!"
Huang Bitao nodded heavily, "Yes, that’s the truth! Shuangshuang has helped us so much, solving our troubles. It’s not something a few pigs can clear up!
Besides, we still remember clearly how those pigs came to be!"
Huang Bitao was different from many other wives.
Others, after marrying, would tightly grip the household money.
Anyone who wanted to use it had to fight for it.
She was different. All the household money, regardless of who earned it, was pooled together!
Anyone could use it if needed!
"You guys, if you keep going like this, you’ll end up giving me more than I need! We should still settle the accounts properly, and besides, prepare a pound of meat every day for my dad and them for three months. I’ll decide whether to continue after I come back!"
Mu Shuangshuang said.
"When you come back? Shuangshuang, you’re going on a long trip?" Mu Dalang caught the key information and asked!
"Yes, I’m planning to go to the Northwest. I estimate I’ll be back by the New Year!"
"Are you going to look for Fengzi?" Mu Dalang was a bit excited.
His cousin was actually going to the Northwest, something many men wouldn’t dare to do!
"Yeah! I haven’t seen him in a long time. I don’t even know if he’s doing well! And I’ve been feeling uneasy lately, I can’t feel at ease without seeing him!"
Mu Shuangshuang’s intuition was accurate. Right now, Lu Yuanfeng in the Northwest was having a tough time because he refused the commander-in-chief’s daughter in marriage.
He hadn’t touched a weapon for quite a while!
Every day he was only handling spatulas and endless chores!
"You should go, brother supports you! It’s just that, on the way, you’ll probably pass by the county. Will you go see grandpa and grandma?" Mu Dalang asked.
"I will, but not to see them! Fourth Aunt asked me to bring some things for Fourth Uncle and Xiaxia! After giving them the things, I will leave!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
Mu Dalang nodded his head.
He was satisfied with this answer!
He had nothing to send to his parents anyway. Even without him, they lived well!
"The pig’s trotters are ready for you, you can have both, and one won’t cost you anything!"
While Mu Shuangshuang was talking to Mu Dalang, Huang Bitao had everything prepared.
She also placed dozens of eggs in the wooden bucket Mu Shuangshuang brought.
The chickens previously raised in Lu Yuanfeng’s back mountain were now entirely moved to Mu Dalang’s place for raising.
Every day, just feed them with the feed Mu Shuangshuang prepared, collect the eggs every few days, and send them to Shuangshuang Restaurant!
Just from the eggs alone, Mu Dalang made quite a bit of money.
After chatting for a while, Mu Shuangshuang had to leave.
Mu Dalang was reluctant to part, though two or three months would pass, it was not just a flick of the fingers.
He stopped doing business at home altogether and, with Huang Bitao, sent Mu Shuangshuang to the village entrance, agreeing to meet in the evening for a farewell gathering!
With Huang Bitao and Mu Dalang saying this, Mu Shuangshuang temporarily decided to invite friends as well, considering it a little feast, a warm-up.
At night, a large group of people came.
They all knew about Mu Shuangshuang’s plan to leave the next day.
Each of them was a little reluctant, but mostly, they hoped Mu Shuangshuang would have a safe journey!
A big table of dishes was set up, and everyone ate with great enjoyment.
Mu Dashan and Mu Dalang even got directly drunk.
When the meal was over, it was already late, and with one drunkard, Huang Bitao had no choice but to stay temporarily at Old Mu Family’s house, and to see off Shuangshuang the next day.
This meal was the happiest Mu Shuangshuang had since Lu Yuanfeng left!
She said her goodbyes to everyone!
Although somewhat sentimental, there was much reluctance!
The Third Branch of the Old Mu Family was bustling, but Old Mu Family in the county was not calm.
More precisely, it was in Ruan Xiao Jiao’s room.
Because of the children’s issue, Taohua once again refused the County Magistrate’s advances, making Ruan Xiao Jiao’s face change.
Thinking about her plan for tomorrow, only then could Ruan Xiao Jiao calm herself down.
"Taohua, I’ve been feeling exhausted lately and quite tired. Tomorrow, could you go to the pharmacy in Five Miles Lane in the county, see what’s going on, and get me some herbal medicine for miscarriage prevention?
And, you wanted to have a child, didn’t you? I won’t stop you anymore! If you want to give birth, then go ahead!"
Ruan Xiao Jiao tried hard to appear kind and benevolent, with not an ounce of malice visible.
She had discussed it with Da De!
Tomorrow, Taohua would be sent on her way!
At that time, it would be said that Taohua ran away with her silver!
They could also seize the opportunity to get money from the County Magistrate!
"Ma’am, is what you’re saying true?"
Taohua was full of excitement.
She had been upset for quite a few days. Ever since she told the madam she was pregnant, the madam had been treating her poorly.
She even told her directly to abort the child.
Taohua knew that this child wasn’t blessed.
But with her broken body now, she couldn’t possibly marry well.
Your best option...
Was to have the child, so she would have company in her old age.
"Of course it’s true, when have I lied to you? Once you buy the medicine for me tomorrow, I’ll help find you a good family!
The child still needs a father!"
Ruan Xiao Jiao’s face was full of concern.
Taohua felt warmth spreading in her heart.
But she still shook her head, "Ma’am, you are good enough to Taohua, I won’t get married! After I give birth, I will continue to serve you!
I’ve already thought it through. When the time comes, I’ll say I was taken advantage of by someone, and that’s how I had the child!"
For a woman pregnant before marriage, to avoid being scorned, that was the only way!
"Foolish girl, what are you talking about! You can’t use that excuse. I said I’d find you a husband who would accept you and your child!
All you need to do is buy me the medicine! Just this one thing!"
The whole night, Ruan Xiao Jiao kept mentioning the medicine purchase, emphasizing each time that Taohua had to go.
Taohua didn’t think much of it!
She was fully immersed in the joy of being able to give birth.
Completely unaware that a plot was unfolding against her.
Just waiting for tomorrow, when Ruan Xiao Jiao and Mu Dade’s arranged thugs would take her life!
"Ma’am, don’t worry, Taohua will repay your kindness for all lifetimes to come!"
