The Old Mu family, who were so poor they jingled, went crazy. It was a time of famine, and everyone was rushing to flee, yet they went out of their way to pick up a little girl.
Ning Bao carr...
Chapter 15 The winds rise across the seas, and we will never meet again!
Looking at the stubborn Zhao Juhua, Li Guizhi rolled her eyes at her.
"Gurgle!" Ningbao quickly covered her little belly, feeling embarrassed for making such a loud noise.
Hearing her granddaughter's stomach rumbling, Li Guizhi stopped arguing with Zhao Juhua and straightened up, looking down at her.
“Sister-in-law, I only call you sister-in-law because of my husband. Someone like you doesn’t deserve to be the eldest sister-in-law at all.”
Alright, I don't want to waste any more time talking to you. We still have a long way to go, so you might as well go back and rest.
I'll give you two choices. First, take your precious little darling and get back home right now. Don't you dare try to touch my cat again. Otherwise, I'll make sure the kids beat up Mu Chengrong every time they see him.
The second option is to fight right now. Do you want a group brawl or a one-on-one fight?
Seeing Li Guizhi's imposing manner, Zhao Juhua couldn't help but shiver.
Zhao Juhua was not tall to begin with, and she looked better a few years ago when she was a bit chubby. But in the last two years, she has had a hard time due to natural disasters and war. The family has been giving food mainly to Mu Chengrong.
Now, in their family, only Mu Chengrong is well-fed and plump, while all the women are thin and sallow, especially Mu Chengrong's three older sisters, who are extremely thin.
Li Guizhi is tall and strong. Although she is fifty years old, she still looks very healthy. She can argue with Li Guizhi, but she would definitely not be a match for Li Guizhi in a one-on-one fight.
Not to mention a group fight, her family only had three male members: her husband Mu Dachang, her son Mu Youcai, and her grandson Mu Chengrong. Although Mu Dasheng of Li Guizhi's family was disabled, Mu Chunping was strong and healthy.
Mu Chunping had been practicing martial arts with his father since he was a child. Although they were all simple movements, he was much stronger than the average person. Moreover, Li Guizhi had four and a half grandsons, plus the Shen family members. Whether it was a one-on-one fight or a group fight, their family would not have the upper hand.
In rural areas, families with many male members have a sense of security. However, Zhao Juhua was very dissatisfied because her good-for-nothing daughter-in-law had only given birth to a grandson.
Knowing that her family was weak, Zhao Juhua quickly smiled apologetically.
"Sister-in-law, what are you saying about us being family...?"
"Alright!" Having figured out the whole story, Village Chief Lin saw that Zhao Juhua was still unwilling to give up and immediately raised his voice to reprimand her.
“Zhao, that’s enough. Do you know we’re running for our lives, not that you can throw a tantrum in front of your house as long as you want?”
Everyone else is making the most of their time to eat and rest, and you're just causing trouble.
Your son, Mu Chengrong, is already eight years old. People often say you can tell what a person will be like at three years old. Spoiling a child too much is not a good thing. He was just struck by lightning, do you know why?
According to popular belief, being struck by lightning is either a sign of great wickedness or divine wrath.
Zhao Juhua knew this, which was why she wouldn't admit that Mu Chengrong had been struck by lightning. She spoke hesitantly.
"Village chief, you've got it wrong. What heavenly lightning? It's just a coincidence, nothing more. My Chengrong is such a good boy. The wise man said my Chengrong is a blessed child..."
Village Chief Lin snorted coldly, "Ha!"
Whether he'll have good fortune or not, he doesn't know, but it's certain that this child is being spoiled rotten. Village Chief Lin frowned impatiently.
“Zhao, I’m telling you this one last time. If you still want to go with the villagers, you’d better behave yourself and stop causing trouble. Otherwise, you’d better get the hell out of here.”
After finishing his speech, Village Chief Lin shouted loudly to Mu Dachang and Mu Youcai, who were standing on the periphery of the crowd.
"Da Chang Ge, Mu Youcai, if you can't manage your families, you should pack your things and leave now. From now on, we'll rise to prominence across the world, and there will be no more farewells!"
After finishing his speech, Village Chief Lin gazed at the crowd of onlookers.
"Everyone, disperse. What time is it? Hurry up and go back to eat. I'm telling you this now, we'll be leaving in half an hour sharp. If anyone falls behind, we won't wait for them."
Don't cry and beg me when the time comes; it won't work.
After finishing speaking, Village Chief Lin turned to look at Li Guizhi's family.
"Sister-in-law, it's getting late, let's call it a day. Tell the children in the future that Ningbao shouldn't be allowed to come out alone. I don't think Mu Chengrong is a kind-hearted person."
It wouldn't be good if someone did something malicious to your Ningbao.
After hearing what Village Chief Lin said, Li Guizhi's expression also became serious. She remembered that Mu Chengrong, who was only five years old two years ago, made a fuss about wanting to eat chicken.
At that time, their family only had three laying hens. Zhao Juhua was reluctant to kill them, but when she turned around, she saw Mu Chengrong, who had just been carrying a knife, enter the chicken coop with a cleaver in hand.
