“Mother, I don’t know anything about the money. I didn’t hear those old women mention it when I went to town that day.”
"That damned bastard! If I find out he stole our money, I'll chase him all the way to his house and never let him get away with it!" Mother's voice was filled with intense anger.
"That Mu Laosan is a real scoundrel."
"Yes, he doesn't deserve to be a member of our Black Crow Village."
Several women were indignant.
Fortunately, the clansmen all knew that these two ingrates from the Mu family were at odds with Mu Chen, otherwise Mu Chen would have been implicated.
Soon after the farce, everyone dispersed.
On the way back, the old lady held Mu Chen's hand in one hand and Duo Duo's hand in the other.
“Ah Chen, you’re on the mountain all day long, but I haven’t seen you bring back any medicinal herbs. This can’t go on.”
Didn't find any medicinal herbs?
This time, we've dug up several times more than we did a month ago!
Mu Chen did not explain.
The old woman said again, "The New Year is in twenty days. Bring Duoduo over, and we'll celebrate together."
"Ugh---"
Mu Chen did not refuse.
The old lady was kind-hearted and had treated the siblings like her own grandchildren for many years.
Besides, his grandfather had just passed away, and it was just him and Duoduo in the house, so it was rather lonely.
Upon arriving at the door, Grandma was about to feed the livestock when Mu Chen said, "Grandma, I'm going out for the next couple of days. I'd like Duo Duo to sleep with you tonight."
"Ugh--"
Mu Chen was relieved.
After entering the house, he took out fifty yuan and gave it to Duoduo.
"Here you go. While I'm away, if anyone brings things into the village to sell, just buy them!"
"So much money? Where are you going, brother?"
Duoduo was a little scared; she was afraid that her uncle would come again.
"You wouldn't know even if I told you. I'll give you a surprise when I get back! Think about what personal items you want to buy, and let me know later."
"How many days are you going to be gone?"
"It could take two or three days if things go smoothly, or four or five days if things go slower."
"Then... Brother, please be careful when you go out."
Mu Chen rubbed Duo Duo's head.
This time he obtained a lot of precious medicinal herbs, which of course he could not sell in town.
Moreover, the outcome of this trip will directly determine whether he will be able to unlock the door to enormous wealth.
But before he left, there was one important thing he had to do.
This was also the first step in his rise to prominence among the Miao people.
