Chapter 1618 - 1613: Take Them Away Quickly (Part 3)

The next day, early in the morning, Mu Shuangshuang sent Mu Dashan, Yuanbao, Little Zhi, Xiao Han, and Yu Liulang to Er Gui Village.

Yuanbao and Xiao Han, along with Little Zhi disguised as a boy, went to school.

As for Mu Shuangshuang, she took Yu Liulang to the neighboring Tie Dao Village to find Mu Dalang and Huang Bita, the couple.

When they arrived at Tie Dao Village, the sun had just risen, and quite a few people were standing in front of Mu Dalang and Huang Bita’s meat stall waiting to buy meat.

However, upon seeing Mu Shuangshuang, Mu Darang exchanged a few pleasantries with everyone and asked them to wait a moment.

Mu Darang walked up to Mu Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, what brings you here? Aren’t you going to the restaurant today?"

Mu Shuangshuang shook her head, "No! I brought my Sixth Uncle along because I wanted to ask you to take a trip with me to Huang Family Village!"

"To Huang Family Village?"

Upon hearing the name Huang Family Village, Mu Darang’s emotions grew a little more excited than before.

"Yes! My uncle’s wife had two babies, but her milk supply is insufficient. I remembered you sent three milk goats to the Huang Family last year.

I wonder if they’ve been sold yet. If not, we’d like to buy one to take back, so the goat milk can feed the eldest and second baby at home!"

Mu Shuangshuang took the initiative to explain to Mu Darang.

"They haven’t been sold; they started producing milk last year! I’ll talk to Bita, and I’ll quickly pack up so we can go!" Mu Darang said cheerfully.

"No need to hurry, finish your business first!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"That’s true, but I’ll be quick, Shuangshuang, wait for me a moment!"

After Mu Darang finished speaking, he addressed the queue, "Sorry everyone, I have something urgent later on. If you don’t urgently need the meat or live near Tie Dao Village, could you come this afternoon or evening?

I want to close the stall early; don’t worry, those who come back later will definitely get a discount!"

Most people promptly said, "We’ll head back first! Since it’s neither time for spring plowing nor planting, it’s better to walk around than idle at home!"

The rest were waiting to have lunch with the meat.

It wasn’t many, so Mu Darang quickly cut the meat and closed the stall.

Then he called to Huang Bita, who was busy inside, "Bita, quickly change into clean clothes, we’re going to see brother and sister-in-law!"

"Brother and sister-in-law? Has Huang Family’s three brothers all married?" Mu Shuangshuang curiously asked.

"No, just the eldest and the second brother of the Huang Family. The third brother said he hasn’t met someone suitable, so he hasn’t had a matchmaking!" Mu Darang said.

Mu Shuangshuang nodded, "I didn’t know about this; if I had, I should have gone with some gifts to look around!"

"No worries, the third uncle and third aunt went!" Mu Darang said.

"Dad and mom went? They didn’t mention such an important matter to me!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Maybe they forgot! After all, it was last year! Back then, you were in the Northwest!

We all went, and Bita’s brothers even asked why you didn’t come!" Mu Darang explained the reason and talked about the Huang Family’s attitude regarding her absence.

"This time, it’s just a coincidence! Cousin, please cut ten pounds of meat for me, and prepare two pig trotters to take to Huang Family Village for the Huang Brothers, as an apology for my absence last time!"

Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Why apologize? You didn’t do anything wrong, what’s there to apologize for!" Mu Darang said.

"As for the meat and pig trotters you mentioned, I’ll take them over!"

"Then weigh them, how many pounds, and I’ll give you the money!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"What kind of talk is this? Why ask for money? I won’t accept money!" Mu Darang was unhappy discussing money with Mu Shuangshuang.

"But..."

"No buts! I’ll make the decision on this matter!"

Mu Darang’s firmness left Mu Shuangshuang speechless.

At that moment, Huang Bita, wearing a new cotton outfit usually worn for festivals, came out from home.

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang, Huang Bita looked bashful.

"Shuangshuang, you’re here——"

"Is my cousin ready?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"Mm!"

"Darang, you should change into nice clothes too!" Huang Bita said.

Mu Darang shook his head, "I’m a man; I don’t bother with appearances! You should go get some peanuts we collected last year and bring some along.

It’s rare for Shuangshuang to drive a cart to Huang Family Village, in usual times, the two of us would walk there, which is inconvenient!"

"Darang, we don’t need to bring anything. My elder brother just said we should save our money for daily life!"

Huang Bita, anxious, used to bring things for her brother, fearing their family was too poor to afford a meal!

Now that the elder and second brother have wives, though not the young delicate women, both elder and second sister-in-law are good people.

Not only do they manage their home well, but each visit gives her a bunch of things to bring back.

"No worries, our earnings are easy, and we don’t have many expenses! In contrast, your brothers need to save, and fix housing, which will cost quite a lot! If we bring some things, they can save more and repair their house sooner, so your brothers and sisters can live in a comfortable place sooner!"

Mu Darang has no objections to his wife bringing things to her family.

On the contrary, he fully supports it.

Once deciding to bring things, they brought quite a lot.

Fortunately, as Mu Darang mentioned, they have a horse cart!

Once everything was loaded onto the horse cart and everyone was seated, Mu Shuangshuang drove the cart towards Huang Family Village!

...

Huang Family Village.

The arrival of Mu Shuangshuang and Mu Darang unsurprisingly delighted the Huang Family for a long while.

Huang Family’s eldest brother asked his wife to kill a chicken, giving everyone a feast.

As for the second brother’s wife, she specifically brought out her roasted pumpkin seeds for Mu Shuangshuang’s group. They sat in the dilapidated mud-brick house, with an atmosphere that was lively beyond measure.

Mu Shuangshuang went straight to the point, "Brother Huang, I’m here to ask whether the three milk goats my cousin bought for you still produce milk?"

"They do!" Huang Family’s eldest nodded.

"That..."

Before Mu Shuangshuang could finish her sentence, Huang Family’s third brother, Huang Mo quickly interjected: "If you like, you can take them all! We don’t drink that goat milk; the smell is too strong!"

Huang Mo’s attitude took Huang Family’s eldest by surprise.

This wasn’t right; the third brother had just said a couple of days ago that after spending so much time with the goats, he had grown attached and wouldn’t sell them for any price, yet here he was giving them away!

"Brother, why are you looking at me like that? I’m just being honest; do you like that strong-smelling goat milk? Or those milk goats that poop everywhere?"

Huang Mo quickly explained.

"No, third brother..." Huang Family’s eldest still felt something was off.

At this point, Mu Darang spoke up: "Big brother, here’s how the situation is..."
