CHAPTER 303: CHAPTER 301: LITTLE BLACK "DIED" (PART 1)

"Enough, Sixth Son, what do you mean by saying these things now? Do you want me to quarrel with your brother-in-law, or have your brother-in-law go quarrel with my parents? Do you really want to see the third branch fall apart? Let me tell you, I won’t let such a thing happen." Yu Si Niang scolded Yu Liulang loudly.

In Yu Si Niang’s heart, what’s past is past.

Since she married into the Old Mu Family, married Mu Dashan, she has the responsibility to keep this family united, to ensure everyone has a common goal. She’s not the kind to make trouble without reason; everything from before was wiped clean after the family split.

From now on, as her daughter said, the third branch living well is truly living well.

Everything else has nothing to do with them.

Yu Liulang realized his words hurt his sister, and promptly spoke up to apologize.

"Sis, don’t be angry, I just think you’ve suffered too much in the past. I know you and brother-in-law have a good relationship, I won’t say anything from now on, just hope you’re happy."

Yu Si Niang holds an extraordinary place in Yu Liulang’s heart. When he was very young, Mr. Yu and Old Mrs. Yu would get up early and stay up late to work, and Yu Si Niang would assume the family’s role, cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of the children.

So Yu Si Niang’s feelings are what Yu Liulang cares about most.

"Sis isn’t angry, Sis just wants to tell you, once you’re married and have a family, that’s how it is. You can’t put yourself first in everything, you have to think about the whole family, and the children. The most important thing is not to let outsiders talk behind our backs."

Yu Si Niang sincerely shared her years of experience with Yu Liulang, hoping Yu Liulang would consider his own marriage a little bit.

Unexpectedly, Yu Liulang directly refused.

"Sis, I will never marry in my lifetime. You know about Xiuxiu’s matter. If you want me to be a laughing stock again, just go ahead and push."

"You child, how can you be so immature, forget it, I won’t talk to you anymore, let’s go back, I’ll let Shuangshuang talk to you!"

It was getting late, time to go back, Yu Si Niang picked up the kettle, Yu Liulang picked up the hoe, and headed towards the Old Mu Family.

...

...

Mu Shuangshuang was in the kitchen preparing ingredients needed for dinner, she not only needed to make dumplings tonight, but she had to make a lot, trying all kinds of fillings, both meat and vegetarian.

Just as she placed the washed five-flavor pork on the chopping board, ready to mince it, Little Zhi and Xiao Han returned from outside.

The two little kids were surprisingly in sync, heading straight to the kitchen, looking at the stove as soon as they entered.

"Sis, we’re back." Little Zhi said sweetly to Mu Shuangshuang while looking.

"Hmm, Sis hasn’t cooked yet, but I just pickled some cold cucumber salad, want some?"

After playing all day, Little Zhi and Xiao Han were already hungry, so they both nodded.

"Hey, Little Zhi, why didn’t you bring Little Black in with you today?"

Mu Shuangshuang instinctively asked, because normally Little Black would be following Little Zhi at this time.

"Sis, isn’t Little Black with you?" Little Zhi blinked and asked curiously.

Clearly, Sis had taken Little Black out in the morning.

"Bang!" The spatula in Mu Shuangshuang’s hand fell to the ground, directly gouging a hole.

"You said Little Black was with me? But I went to town today, Little Black didn’t go with me!" Mu Shuangshuang answered with certainty.

"Ah... then where did Little Black go?" Little Zhi panicked, eyes instantly filled with tears.

Mu Shuangshuang instantly became alert, Little Black was playful but would definitely appear at mealtime, especially since she went out today, it wouldn’t make such a mistake.

The only two explanations, either Little Black went back to Dashan, or something happened.

The second possibility seemed more likely.

Mu Shuangshuang took a deep breath, telling herself to stay calm.

Meanwhile, she dashed to her room, and Little Black’s tree hole was just as she left it last night before bed.

"Damn, something must have happened to Little Black..."

Little Zhi, following Mu Shuangshuang, heard Mu Shuangshuang’s words, and immediately burst into tears, remembering last time Little Grey was eaten, tears flooding out.

Xiao Han’s face also changed, he staggered a few steps, nearly falling.

"No way, Little Zhi, Little Black will be fine, I’ll go find Brother Yuan Feng, he definitely has a way."

"Xiao Han, I’ll go with you, we’ll find Little Black together!" Mu Shuangshuang steadied her nerves, knowing that she couldn’t panic now, if she did, Little Black might really not be found!

...

...

Mu Danian waited in the dilapidated house in the village for Chen Hong all day, but didn’t see a sign of her. Just as he was about to leave, Chen Hong finally arrived late.

Perhaps because she did unspeakable things last night for too long, Chen Hong’s steps were a bit unstable, and her face somewhat swollen.

Mu Danian rushed forward and gave Chen Hong a hard pinch on her chest, causing her to scream in pain.

"Ouch, are you crazy, trying to pinch me to death!"

"You little slut, don’t I know what you’re thinking about? What, already wanting it again after just a day?"

Mu Danian was always crude in his speech, Chen Hong was long accustomed to it; normally, she’d play along.

But now she couldn’t wait to get back at Mu Shuangshuang for hitting her.

"Stop fooling around, I don’t feel like doing that stuff today, first make me that roasted yellow weasel. When I’m full, we’ll see."

Chen Hong wasn’t her usual flirtatious self, Mu Danian was momentarily taken aback, but quickly returned to normal.

Women are petty, love jealousy, always repay grudges, isn’t that typical?

Mu Danian rubbed Chen Hong’s hand with consolation. "Why are you in such a hurry? I’ll make it right away, I’ve prepared the firewood, and the lard I stole from that brat’s house. That brat, think as she might, won’t expect I hid the lard in my mom’s house; even if she does know, she wouldn’t dare take it."

Speaking, Mu Danian picked up the burlap sack that was thrown aside.

"Do you think this little bastard is dead, it’s been a whole day, only made noise at the start."

Mu Danian put his hand into the sack, pulling Little Black out.

He was surprised to find Little Black no longer struggled, limp in his hands, not responding no matter how he shook.

"Damn, really dead, I heard yellow weasels are only good roasted alive."

"Then what do I do, you promised me roast yellow weasel, I won’t accept that this doesn’t count as revenge against your niece!"

Mu Danian hastily placed Little Black on the ground, Chen Hong crowded in too, the two of them stared at Little Black lying on the ground.
