CHAPTER 145: CHAPTER 145: JUST WAIT AND SEE! (PART 1)

"This girl is quite wicked, today I’ll definitely teach her a good lesson."

Old Mrs. Mu cursed out a long series and rolled up her sleeves from her wrists, clearly ready for a big fight.

Mu Danian was secretly overjoyed, he always said he would make his third brother regret it.

Hmph, with her mother giving her a lesson, let’s see if his third brother dares to play tricks and not work in the future.

Mu Danian had done a lot of lazy tricks like that, so he was quite adept at it.

"Mom, I’ll go with you, we’ll beat them to death." Mu Danian chimed in.

"What go, come back, aren’t you embarrassed enough already!" Mr. Mu heavily scolded the few people inside the house.

"Second, Fifth, it’s just eight acres, work hard and finish it in a day, don’t let others look down on you.

Once the rice is harvested, go manage the water in the field, and tomorrow morning, go to Dahuo Village to invite your second sister Zhenzhen and Zhuangzi back.

Just say that my hand is injured and I need help to transplant seedlings."

Actually, according to Mr. Mu’s words, the family only had those eight acres left, and the work wasn’t much.

Once these fields are cut and transported to the village’s threshing ground, their family can start using stone rollers to crush the rice and mill it.

Once the rice is milled, they can pack it in burlap bags and take it to town to sell for money.

Sigh, if Da De passes the exam, the family will be better off, Mr. Mu comforted himself inwardly.

Old Mrs. Mu’s face immediately changed when she heard Mr. Mu asking Mu Zhenzhen to work.

"Xiangxiang’s dad, what are you doing? Are you trying to exhaust our Zhenzhen? She’s never been in the fields, how can she do this work?

Aren’t there a few wives for transplanting seedlings? Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Liu, and Yu Si Niang, Yu Si Niang can do more work, otherwise, why feed them?" Old Mrs. Mu spoke logically.

"Then who does the rice milling? You or me?"

This task was previously done by Mu Dajiang, but now he has to plow and cultivate the fields, so this work must be given to someone else.

"Let the Fifth do it, after all, he doesn’t like working in the fields, but he always likes being at the threshing ground."

On the side, Mu Danian’s face darkened, being sent to the threshing ground, what kind of nonsense is this.

"Mom, rice milling is what the Fourth is best at, it used to be him and Mrs. Liu handling it, if you want me to take over his work, he’ll hit me again."

"Then you go plow, cultivate, and the Fourth and Mrs. Liu go to the threshing ground."

The Old Mu Family has many people and tasks, but no matter what, everyone can complete the family’s double harvest within a month.

It’s just this time, the Old Mu Family faced too many issues, in previous years around this time, they had already been threshing for several days.

"I’m not going to work the fields, this task is my third brother’s responsibility, I’m not doing it."

Mu Danian returned to the original point, refusing to do tasks where he gets nothing out of it.

He’s not stupid, plowing and cultivating are visible tasks with few people, unlike transplanting seedlings where he can play in the fields all day with nobody noticing he hasn’t worked.

"This not that not, what exactly do you want to do? I’m telling you, from today onward, if you and Dazhong dare to slack off, you’ll all be kicked out, don’t say you’re from the Old Mu Family."

"I’m not leaving, Big Brother is from the Old Mu Family, if I leave, I can’t enjoy fortunes."

"You..." Mr. Mu’s vision darkened, almost fainting.

Mu Dazhong seeing this situation realized it’s about time for him to step in, so he said.

"Mom, Dad’s in this condition, isn’t it fine to invite Second Sister back? Besides, we watched her grow up, she definitely won’t be made to suffer.

But Zhuangzi is different, after all, he doesn’t carry the Mu surname, doing some work for our Old Mu Family doesn’t tire out our people, right?

And Sister-in-law, she does the least work at home, although she’s the scholar’s wife, this isn’t the time to act like a lady of leisure.

If the rice isn’t harvested, Big Brother won’t have tuition money, she’ll still end up farming in the countryside for life."

Mu Dazhong said his piece rather eloquently, Mrs. Lin beside him was just shy of rushing over to hug her husband.

At this moment, having one more person means they can do less work.

"Mom, Gou Dan’s dad is right, we’re all doing this for Big Brother’s tuition, good days are coming soon, let’s work harder."

Mrs. Lin finally got a chance to speak, she hoped Mu Zhenzhen would come back, not just because the work could be shared.

It’s also because if Mu Zhenzhen comes back, Old Mrs. Mu would definitely buy meat, she hasn’t had meat for days, her cravings nearly swallowing her tongue.

Thinking of meat, Mrs. Lin felt energized.

"Alright, alright, Zhuangzi will do some work then, but definitely don’t let our Zhenzhen work, otherwise this old lady won’t be done with you."

Old Mrs. Mu’s words made both Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian feel quite nauseous.

They’re all her children, her love given either to Big Brother or to Second Sister and Little Sister, darn it, surely it’s about the right stance when reincarnating?

Meanwhile, Mu Xiaohan told his big sister Mu Shuangshuang everything he had just heard from Gou Dan.

Gou Dan was the only child at home who liked crawling everywhere in the dirt, sometimes hiding under tables, sometimes under beds.

So he often overheard some special news, but he’s not very scheming, he hears it and soon tells others, then forgets it all himself.

"Sis, what do you think we should do? I see Grandpa and Grandma are planning to bother us again."

Seven-year-old Xiao Han had already become sensible, being plotted against made him angry, though he still couldn’t think of a counter-plan.

"Let them be, as long as we eat until after the double harvest is over."

Work is controlled by oneself, to work or not to work, isn’t it up to oneself, she’s planning to tell her mom not to work too hard then it’ll be fine.

"I’m really curious about this Second Aunt."

Mu Shuangshuang had already seen her eldest aunt, and worried this Second Aunt might be another traitor.

"Sis, don’t you want to teach them a lesson? They’re really going too far."

Mu Xiaohan was a bit unwilling, he knew his sister had a lot of plans, it was his sister who caused their eldest sister-in-law to fall into the latrine last time.

"What kind of lesson do you want, I’ll consider it."

"Throw Fifth Uncle into the latrine, stink him to death!"

Mu Shuangshuang shook her head helplessly, "Xiao Han, you must remember, such tricks usually only work once and lose their effect on reuse.

But for Fifth Uncle, I do have a way to deal with him, just wait, in a couple of days, I’ll make you have a good laugh."

Receiving this assurance, Mu Xiaohan nodded heavily. "Anyways, we can’t be bullied, anyone causing a ruckus again, I’ll beat them to death!"
