Chapter 349: Chapter 347: One More Shameless Than the Other (Fourth Update)
Mu Danian indeed reached Tie Dao Village, but right now he’s enjoying life with Chen Hong.
A roast chicken, a pound of beef, and a pound of baijiu.
A hundred and twenty wen spent completely.
Chewing roast chicken, drinking wine—this is life!
"Little girl, isn’t it great being with your brother?"
Mu Dazhong started speaking lewdly again.
Chen Hong stuffed a big chicken leg into her mouth, mumbling indistinctly.
"Come on now, didn’t you say it was money from your mom to catch chicks? If we spend it, won’t your mom skin you alive?"
In Tie Dao Village, everyone knew the fame of Old Mrs. Mu, and Chen Hong never left her name out of her speeches.
"It’s worth being skinned for you. Tell me, little girl, how long has it been since you last came to see me? Don’t you miss me?"
"Miss you? What’s the use? Your older brother hasn’t returned yet, I have to depend on those two old things at home.
You tell me, those two old fuddy-duddies are so old, yet they hold onto the silver so tightly. Why don’t they just give it all to me?"
Chen Hong complained angrily while Mu Danian occasionally drank and ate beside her.
"Ah~ This sorghum wine is stronger than rice wine, but there won’t be many good days like this."
Soon, after eating and drinking, the two of them went at it in the bushes without fearing getting caught.
Afterward, Chen Hong looked satisfied and her attitude toward Mu Danian improved.
"Danyan, don’t say I didn’t help you. We have a widower in Tie Dao Village, surname Liu.
That old bastard, over fifty and still a lecher; later I’ll lure him, and you seize the chance to steal the chickens from his house. Then take the chickens back and tell your mom you bought them... hehe!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Danian got as excited as a chicken on hot coals and sprang up.
"Really? Honghong, you’re truly my savior. I just love you!"
Mu Danian hugged Chen Hong and gave her several big kisses.
After dressing, they both went to the house of that Old Liu in Chen Hong’s words.
She deliberately pulled her clothes apart a little to reveal some white skin, and as she knocked on the courtyard door, she did so gently.
"Uncle Liu, are you there?"
Old Liu came out quickly, and upon seeing it was Chen Hong, he started drooling from the corners of his mouth.
"Oh, it’s Chen Hong? What’s up, coming to my house?"
Chen Hong was flirtatious, everyone in the village knew, Old Liu couldn’t believe such a bargain fell on his lap.
"Uncle Liu, I want a drink of water, is it okay if I come inside?"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Old Liu led Chen Hong into the house, and Mu Danian snuck in after, finding the chicken coop and taking forty chicks.
Putting them into a burlap sack, he ran off.
Chen Hong dealt with him inside for quite a while, and when she felt enough time had passed, she suddenly pushed away the groping hands on her.
"Uncle Liu, what are you doing? If you keep touching me, I’ll tell the village chief."
"Honghong, you let me touch you just now!" Old Liu, not the cleverest, only remembered Chen Hong placing his hand on her chest.
"If I told you to die, why don’t you go? You old fart, just trying to take advantage of me, tricked me to come inside, you wait and see.
I’ll let everyone in the village know what you’ve done, your daughter married in Dahuo Village, right? I’ll make sure her in-laws know what kind of person her daughter-in-law is."
Mentioning his daughter, Old Liu showed some emotion in his eyes and quickly let go of Chen Hong.
Originally thinking Chen Hong would leave after this, who would’ve thought she’d make such a bold demand.
"Old Liu, hand over all your valuables, or I’ll scream harassment!"
"We have no money, all our money went to Fengfeng, I..."
"Fine, don’t give it, help! Harassment! Old Liu is harassing a widow..."
Old Liu, at his age, suffered a loss and still had to give money; after Chen Hong left, he fainted on the bed.
Chen Hong pocketed the one tael of silver she extorted from Old Liu in her bra pocket.
She felt insecure without money.
"Little girl, got it done?" Mu Danian, carrying the chicks, asked curiously.
"Of course, you better hurry back, and don’t come to Tie Dao Village for a while."
After Chen Hong’s instruction, Mu Dazhong gave her a pat on the butt, leaving with satisfaction.
With chickens, and pigs, the Old Mu Family this time really strutted with pride.
Old Mrs. Mu originally thought the second son’s job was well done, but upon seeing the already grown chickens, couldn’t help but praise Mu Danian.
"Danyan, you’re truly a good son of mine, knowing to bring back such big chickens. These chickens can now be set free with the big chickens."
"Danyan, how come someone sold these chickens to you so cheaply?"
Old Mrs. Mu was very curious, growing feathers meant they had almost grown up, and with proper care, there would certainly be no loss.
And outside, such chickens wouldn’t sell for less than eight or ten wen.
"Didn’t I say it was due to a connection? Mom, just focus on raising the chickens and don’t worry about anything else."
Mu Danian’s words made Old Mrs. Mu extremely pleased.
"If you’d been this smart before, our Old Mu Family would’ve been rich by now."
"We’re not bad now, either, since our Old Mu Family has our big brother."
Mu Danian’s flattering words hit Old Mrs. Mu’s heart.
"Alright, alright, I’ll cook you an extra meal tonight, how about a boiled egg?" Old Mrs. Mu asked.
"Yes, I haven’t had an egg for ages, I’ve been craving one."
Seeing this, Mu Dazhong quickly spoke up. "Mom, I caught the pig as well, I worked hard.
"Enough, second son, as the older brother, give in to your younger brother. The eggs at home are for selling, if you eat one, we’ll lose income."
"..."
Mu Dazhong knew Old Mrs. Mu was biased, but he had no choice but to return to his room defeated, like a losing rooster.
Old Mrs. Mu looked at the ground full of chicks, feeling extremely happy.
She couldn’t resist showing off a little, and asked her third daughter-in-law Yu Si Niang to come and work for her.
When Old Mrs. Mu arrived, Mu Shuangshuang and Yu Si Niang were tying grass bundles in the courtyard.
Using a bow and arrow shape made from tree trunks, the pile of grass included dry fir branches, silky grass, and a large heap of various grasses and twigs.
Mixing them together, they made bundles, to be used as fire starters in the winter.
On a farm, straw had these few uses: either make bundles or burn it directly as fertilizer, never wasted.
"Third son’s wife, starting today, you’ll feed the pigs in the family, and those chicks too, you feed them as well.
Don’t talk about dividing the family, you and Dashan are supposed to support us in our old age. If you don’t, I’ll let everyone in the village know you’re unfilial and neglect your elders."
