Chapter 1632 - 1627: Mu Shuangshuang Returns to the County (Second Update)

"Then I don’t want it either!" said Yu Tiancai.

"You... Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Mrs. Li yelled at Yu Tiancai.

"Mom, don’t be like this, I really don’t want to drink it. If you can’t bear to waste it, you can drink it yourself."

He couldn’t bring himself to speak harshly to his own mother.

But he couldn’t bring himself to drink this bowl of goat milk meant for his younger siblings.

"Hmph! Ungrateful thing, if you don’t want to drink it, I’m not willing to let you drink it! Just get lost, get lost, get lost!"

Mrs. Li cursed at Yu Tiancai.

After cursing, she still felt unsatisfied and drank the goat milk clean in front of Yu Tiancai.

"Stupid thing, don’t even know how to enjoy such delicious goat milk. Just like your useless father. Just wait until those two little beasts grow up and take everything from you!

By then, you’ll be a beggar, everyone will scold you, and even that pigsty won’t let you sleep there! Hmph!"

Mrs. Li spat at Yu Tiancai.

She turned around, wiggled her big backside, and went to the kitchen.

Yu Tiancai was red-eyed from being scolded, tears falling uncontrollably.

Even so, he still felt he was not wrong!

He was not wrong!

...

Since Ma the Landlord left Er Gui Village, he hasn’t returned.

The entire Er Gui Village seemed to have encountered some great joy; everyone wore smiles.

Mu Dashan took some time to tidy up his house, mending the knocked-down walls again.

As for the main house, he originally wanted to fix it up a bit, but Mu Shuangshuang stopped him.

The main house was sold to Ma the Landlord, although he’s not there, the deed and land contract clearly bear Ma the Landlord’s name.

No one can take it, nor occupy it.

The business in the tavern didn’t settle as Mu Shuangshuang had expected; instead, it became more and more popular.

The milk tea with taro balls introduced by Mu Shuangshuang, along with the simplest cakes, without cream, almost became a hit.

Every day, people lined up to drink milk tea and eat cakes, almost selling out within half an hour.

So, Yu Dahai personally found Mu Shuangshuang, suggesting she find a shop in the county.

Once the shop is found, immediately sell the old tavern, then open a dessert shop in the county.

Mu Shuangshuang accepted this suggestion, and early in the morning, she took some small items from the tavern, and drove the cart to the county.

By the time she reached the county, it was almost noon.

She went directly to Jiu Si Xuan in the county, considering Zheng Zhi as the local snake, might have some good advice.

Since it was lunchtime, it was the busiest time at the tavern.

Mu Shuangshuang arrived, but couldn’t find a seat.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper saw Mu Shuangshuang and hurriedly came to greet her.

"Shuang, why are you here? Haven’t had lunch yet, have you? Hurry to the elegant room on the third floor, I’ll have the kitchen prepare a meal for you!" said the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper at Jiu Si Xuan has always been friendly to Mu Shuangshuang.

Even though Mu Shuangshuang opened a tavern across from Jiu Si Xuan in the town, taking a lot of business away from Zheng Zhi, his attitude remained unchanged.

His enthusiasm made Mu Shuangshuang feel a bit awkward.

"Thank you, shopkeeper! I brought some things, don’t know if you’ll like them!" Mu Shuangshuang said, handing a porcelain bottle to the shopkeeper.

"This is..." The shopkeeper looked curious.

"Barley tea! This stuff has many benefits for someone your age; for now, only I have it here. If you like it, I’ll bring you some more next time!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"I like it, I like it!" The shopkeeper took the porcelain bottle, unable to close his mouth from smiling.

To become the shopkeeper at Jiu Si Xuan means he’s not lacking at all in money, what he lacks is a heartfelt gesture.

Now, seeing this young girl giving her best efforts to him sincerely pleased the shopkeeper; how could he not be happy?

"Go ahead quickly!" said the shopkeeper.

After speaking, he added, "Our shopkeeper isn’t coming to the tavern today, I’m guessing he’ll come tomorrow!"

"Alright!"

Mu Shuangshuang was a little disappointed but didn’t show it.

She went straight to the elegant room on the third floor, where tea was already prepared on the table.

Mu Shuangshuang drank tea while waiting for her meal, and soon the dishes were served.

Three dishes and one soup, all were some homemade dishes, which Mu Shuangshuang enjoyed.

After eating, she left a piece of broken silver on the table.

She exited the shop, saying goodbye to the shopkeeper.

When she finished eating, there were still many people in the hall waiting to eat, and the shopkeeper was busy.

Mu Shuangshuang walked over to say a word of departure and then left.

With her meal concluded, the next task was to find a shop.

Since it’s a dessert shop, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t want to find a place too remote.

So she specifically looked along the busy streets.

She also took the opportunity to observe the surrounding foot traffic.

Perhaps because it had just been lunch time, there weren’t many people on the streets.

Mu Shuangshuang drove the cart, which made for a very smooth journey.

Unexpectedly, during her search, she saw Mu Dazhong.

Not seen for about a month, Mu Dazhong had undergone a drastic change.

In the past, he always wore coarse cloth clothes, looking dirty.

But now, he was wearing a fancy attire, made of silk, clearly not cheap.

Mu Shuangshuang instinctively frowned and locked eyes with Mu Dazhong.

"Oh, isn’t this Shuang! What brings you to the county? Couldn’t be here to take advantage of the fact we’ve struck it rich!"

Mu Dazhong’s words were extremely distasteful.

Mu Shuangshuang ignored him, but he didn’t hold back; instead, became even worse.

"Shuang, don’t say I didn’t help you as your second uncle, don’t forget you gave us no benefits when you opened the tavern!

Now you suddenly want us to help you, that’s certainly untenable!

But since we share some blood, how about this, you kneel and kowtow to me thrice, then I’ll let you return to the Old Mu Family, how’s that?"

Mu Dazhong was talking nonsense.

Mu Shuangshuang snorted, "Second uncle, did you forget to take your medicine before leaving? Or did you get your head stuck in the door? When have I ever said I want to go back to the Old Mu Family and take advantage of you?"

"You... you stinking brat, keep your mouth tight then! Who doesn’t know that your big brother’s become the steward of dock transportation, and me and your fifth uncle became his assistants!

Our Old Mu Family now has plenty of money, see it? What I’m wearing is from the Red House and worth ten taels of silver!

Your shabby outfit can’t compare even a thousand times to mine!" said Mu Dazhong.

Mu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes, "Second uncle, too much evil leads to disaster! You know better than I what kind of person my big brother is, don’t get yourself caught in the affairs, and end up in prison!"

"You..." Mu Dazhong, angry and also feeling guilty.

He couldn’t help but wonder: This darn girl speaks so confidently, does she know what he and Fifth are doing with his big brother now?
