Chapter 175 Bored
Li Mingyue was blocked by someone and said angrily, "You are not blind. You know we are going to work but you still want to make trouble. You really have nothing better to do!"
Mu smiled complacently, spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells and said, "Yes, I am just bored now. I don't have to work and I can still eat and drink my fill.
Unlike some people, whose lives are worthless, they will starve if they don’t work. Tsk tsk, thinking back to the past, it was so noble and so majestic! Now…”
"That's enough. If you have nothing to do, go to the village and find Lao Huang. Don't delay our work."
Mu pulled her sister-in-law, intending to walk around her. As Li Mingyue took a step, Mu grabbed her arm and stopped her.
"Sister-in-law, why are you in such a hurry? Are you going to run away without working? Are you going to starve without this season's harvest?"
"Oh, I forgot, it's true.
We were exiled here together, and we didn't have any food left at home. We had to work day and night in the village, working ourselves to death to earn a little coarse grain to fill our stomachs, didn't we? "
"Oh my, you are so pitiful!
If you hadn't fallen out with my family, I would have given you half a pound of coarse grains to make some porridge that would last you two days.
It's a pity that we are no longer sisters-in-law, so I can't give my coarse grains to everyone, I can only say that I can't help..."
"Have you finished your idle fart? If you're done, let go, or I won't be polite!"
Before, Bai Zongshen and his son went back to get money, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that all the men in the Bai family had gone to the battlefield to bully the women in the Bai family.
As for the seriously injured Bai Erlang and the butler Bai Fu, the father and son did not take them seriously at all.
Who knew that when they started fighting, Li Mingyue and her two sisters-in-law beat the father and son so hard that they cried out in pain. From then on, they never dared to cause trouble again.
But Mu was thick-skinned. When she was bored, she would just tease them. Anyway, when they wanted to get angry, she would avoid them and come back next time.
Li Mingyue and the others really hated and were helpless about her. Whenever they saw her, they would stay away from her. If they really couldn't avoid her, they would just go around her. Mu could only stomp her feet and dared not make trouble.
But this time, the Mu family actually held the person captive, which was too much.
Li Mingyue struggled hard, and Mu was knocked to the ground by a huge force. She just lay on the ground and screamed.
"Oh, everyone, come and see! The eldest sister-in-law of the Bai family is beating her sister-in-law. She's trying to kill her!"
The Mu family members were extremely angry. It was disgusting and infuriating to meet such a scoffing person.
Li was attracted by the sound and walked down the wooden stairs with the help of Aunt Bai. She said to her daughters-in-law, "Don't worry about her. You guys go. I'll leave this here."
Li Mingyue glanced at her mother-in-law, then saw that the sun was almost high in the sky. If they delayed any longer, it would be noon. The sun would make the ground so hot that it could cook the seeds. What was the point of planting?
He nodded to his two sisters-in-law and said, "Let's go. Don't bother with a mad dog."
"Stop, who are you calling a mad dog?"
Mu was about to grab Li Mingyue's trouser leg, but Li hit her with her crutch. Mu screamed and retracted her hand. The back of her hand had been hit and immediately a red mark appeared.
"Would you like to act like a scoundrel again and let me see you?"
"I just had two days of full meals, you have nothing to do!"
"If you continue to make trouble, I'll ask Bai Zongshen to divorce you!"
Li didn't want to bring up that useless nephew, but this was the most effective way at the moment.
Sure enough, when Mu heard this, she didn't dare to refute. She got up awkwardly, looked at Li with resentment, and returned to her home.
"This Mu family is really going too far!"
Aunt Bai sighed. The host family was such a kind-hearted family. If it weren't for Mu and her daughter seeking death, her family wouldn't have gotten to such a point with the host family.
Thinking back to when her old man was three years old, he was adopted by the Bai family. Because he was diligent and loyal, and he even saved the old grandfather, he was given the surname Bai and was considered a member of the family.
Later, he arranged for him to get married and have children.
So when the master's family was confiscated and exiled, the three of them were reluctant to be separated and resolutely followed the master's family into exile here.
Now she and her husband are running the household, and her son Bai Lin is brought by General Bai as an errand boy.
In fact, it was cultivation. She and the old man were grateful and served the old lady more attentively and tried their best to take care of the family.
What a pity, some people are short-sighted and only see what is in front of them.
Mu hid at home, rubbing the back of her hands with medicinal wine, and couldn't help but shed tears.
She had been mean to her daughter before, and now her daughter had gone to the capital to enjoy herself but refused to take her with her. She could only live with Bai Zongshen, the ungrateful man.
It's not that she hadn't thought about returning to her parents' home in the capital, but she heard that the King of Wei had fallen, and her father and brother from her parents' side had also suffered misfortune and were stripped of their official positions. Now they were farming in their hometown.
Come to think of it, she has a really miserable life. Her husband is unreliable, and her own children are also unreliable. Unlike that old woman Li Mingyue, her husband is capable, her son is promising, and her daughter is now a marshal.
As she was feeling sorry for herself, the door was suddenly pushed open. The light from outside shone in, hurting her eyes and making it difficult for her to see who was coming.
"Who is it? You're just a peasant, you don't even know how to knock on the door..."
Without waiting for the visitor to respond, Mu's mouth started spitting out words like a machine gun.
"It's me, bitch. I haven't been punished for a few days. Do you think you can tear the roof off the house?"
When Mu heard Bai Zongshen's voice, she felt happy, then scared.
"You, you guys are back?"
"Nonsense, are you blind?"
"Cook the meal quickly, do you want us to starve to death?"
When Baihu entered the house, he didn't even call out to his mother, but just asked for food.
Mu's smile froze, she closed her mouth silently and went to the kitchen.
Her family has no shortage of food now, so she can just cook whatever she wants.
When the father and son saw her go to the kitchen, they immediately went into the house and started rummaging through the drawers and cabinets.
"Hey, dinner is ready, where have you been?"
Mu wiped her hands on the apron and came out to call people for dinner.
Her house doesn't have a main hall, so they eat at a table in the kitchen, which is barely enough for the family.
After shouting a few times but no one answered, he went out and shouted again.
When she turned back, the father and son were just coming out of the house, which scared her.
"Oh, you guys... I called you several times but you didn't respond. I thought..."
Mu wanted to get angry but she didn't dare.
Then she looked at the father and son suspiciously, her curiosity overshadowing her anger.
Bai Zongshen glared at her without saying anything, then turned and went to the kitchen.
Bai Hu, who was following behind, hesitated for a moment before saying, "We're back to pack up and go to the capital. You should pack up quickly too!"
After saying this, afraid of being heard by Bai Zongshen, he lowered his head and slipped away to the kitchen.
Mu was shocked by the news. She tried hard to sort things out in her mind: her husband and son were going to take all their belongings to the capital, and they didn't plan to take her with them?
No, everything was fine, why did you suddenly go to Beijing?
It was thanks to the fact that Bai Zongren's family was pardoned by the emperor in the first month of the year, and her family was also pardoned, and they gained freedom and could go wherever they wanted.
