Chapter 217 You Are Dreaming
Old Man Mu was so frightened by this sudden scene that he took a few steps back.
When he stood firm, he saw clearly that the person in front of him was the old woman from the Wang family, and he was immediately furious.
"Old lady Wang, what nonsense are you talking about?"
His face turned pale. "My Pingping is still so young..."
"You're not going to tell me, are you going to arrange a marriage for Pingping?" The old woman from the Wang family asked impatiently, "It's a perfect opportunity for a double happiness."
"You know my granddaughter. Not only is she pretty, but she's also the boss at home and outside."
She was making a lot of calculations in her mind. With the current financial situation of the Mu family, the betrothal gift would have to be fifty taels of silver and various good things.
It was not easy for her family to raise a granddaughter. It cost a lot of money, which had to be recovered from the betrothal gift.
"Bah!" Zhu spat at her, putting her hands on her hips. "If you want to sell your granddaughter, go find someone else to sell it to. Don't try to target my family."
"Let's not talk about the fact that Pingping from my family won't get engaged. Even if Pingping from my family wanted to get engaged, she wouldn't choose your granddaughter."
"We are all from the same village, so we don't know each other's families."
Although the Wang family is not particularly patriarchal, they are a family that values money very much.
The old woman of the Wang family sold her two daughters to families who could afford high betrothal gifts, and the old woman often took advantage of her two daughters.
What's even more disgusting is that as long as this family can take advantage of something for free or without spending any money, they will find ways to do so.
If they wanted to give a gift, they could give two eggs or a copper coin, and the Wang family would eat delicious food at the other party's house for several days before they would give in.
The old woman of the Wang family was very patient for the sake of money. "Mr. Mu, what you said is not right."
She smiled brightly, "Because we are from the same village, it would be great if Pingping could get engaged to my granddaughter."
"Not only do we get to know each other better, but we don't have to worry about all that messy stuff, don't you think?"
She had always wanted to marry her granddaughters into the Mu family, but she had never found the opportunity.
Now that she has such a good opportunity, she will never let it go.
Zhu knew exactly how to deal with this kind of person. She shouted, "Eldest wife, second wife, third wife, grab your weapons!"
"Beat him hard!"
She picked up a broom nearby and rushed over first, "Just think of it as adding some liveliness to our new home!"
Qian, Wang and Liu all picked up their weapons and rushed towards the old woman of the Wang family.
"You dare to set your sights on our family? I think you are tired of living!"
"Just thinking about your husband's family having the same surname as mine makes me feel sick."
The old woman from the Wang family was so scared that she ran out screaming, "Someone's been beaten to death! The Mu family wants to kill me!"
None of the onlookers came forward to help, and they all spitted at the old woman of the Wang family.
"The Wang family has taken advantage of the village for so many years, they deserve to be beaten."
"The Wang family has never dared to take advantage of the Mu family in recent years, fearing they would be beaten. Now, the old woman from the Wang family is so bold as to take advantage of them. Isn't this like the birthday star hanging himself?"
"That granddaughter of the Wang family...tsk tsk tsk, you know her. Not only is she dark and skinny, but she's also obsessed with money. If anyone marries her, they'll be doomed for the rest of their lives."
"I think the old woman from the Wang family thought that since the Mu family was moving to a new house, they wouldn't do anything bad today for the sake of future stability, so they dared to do this."
Mu Baobao, who was also watching the fun, stretched his neck to watch his grandmother and others chasing after the old woman from the Wang family and beating her, gesturing with his hands as if he was learning from them.
"Baby." Mu Pingping covered his sister's eyes and sighed.
He has a younger sister who likes to watch the fun all day long and learns some bad things from her. What should he do as the eldest brother?
Mu Baobao was confused and asked, "Ah?"
"Brother, why are you covering my eyes?"
Mu Pingping was troubled. "Children can't follow along."
Mu Baobao said, "I didn't follow them to learn. I was just learning how to fight back if I get bullied in the future."
Mu Pingping's mouth twitched when he heard this. "...Who dares to bully you?"
"You are not allowed to learn these, or I will deduct your candy."
Mu Baobao suddenly became depressed. "Okay, okay, I won't learn it."
She didn't want to lose her sugar.
Mu Pingping was still worried, so he took his sister to the backyard to play.
"Wow, snow." Baby Mu shrank his neck, put his hands into his sleeves, and looked up at the falling snow.
Mu Pingping couldn't understand why he was happy to see snow. He had seen snow every winter since he was a child, and he was already tired of it.
The most important thing is that every winter when it snows heavily is the most difficult time to endure.
Even if there is a kang, it is still cold. The main reason is that the pit cannot be burned from morning to night. There is not enough firewood, and we cannot waste firewood like this.
He looked at the sparse snow and put his sister on the ground: "Baby, you can play here."
As soon as Mu Baobao said "oh", he heard the extremely sharp scream of the old woman of the Wang family.
"Ah! I won't dare to do it again! I won't dare to do it again! Don't hit me!"
Mu Baobao was itching to go over and see what was happening, but her elder brother was looking at her with a stern face.
She silently moved to the side, her little face full of regret. It was so painful not being able to watch the fun.
Mu Pingping rubbed his eyebrows and felt that he needed to talk to his family. They shouldn't always let the baby watch the fun.
It’s not a big deal now since the baby is still young, but it will be bad if she develops the habit of watching the fun when she grows up.
"Why are you and your sister here?" At this time, Cheng Zishi came over with a package.
He smiled and waved to Mu Baobao, "Come here, baby, I bought you some candy."
When Mu Baobao heard the word "sugar", he instantly became energetic.
She didn't rush over immediately, but looked at her eldest brother eagerly.
Mu Pingping was helpless, "Thank you first, sir, and then take the candy."
Mu Baobao thanked Cheng Zishi obediently, then took the candy with both hands, "Uncle, when did you buy this candy?"
Cheng Zishi rubbed her little hair and said, "I asked someone to buy it a couple of days ago."
"By the way, does your family need to buy groceries for the winter?"
Mu Baobao doesn't understand this.
Mu Pingping knew all this. He said, "I guess they won't buy it until two days later."
"Every year, when we sell rice, we buy vegetables for the winter, so we don't have to make an extra trip."
Although there is not much to do in winter, it is not possible to go to town often.
Cheng Zishi said, "Pingping, tell your grandma to buy more vegetables when she goes shopping."
"This winter, Doctor Deng and I have to live in the village."
As he spoke, he took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Mu Pingping.
"If there is meat, buy some as well."
Mu Pingping refused to accept it. "Sir, my family takes care of your and Doctor Deng's three meals a day. How can I let you spend money?"
Cheng Zishi stuffed the silver into his hand and said with a smile, "Even if your family is responsible for three meals a day, Doctor Deng and I will also cook for ourselves and have some drinks."
