Chapter 1333 - 1328:
Mu Dalang fell silent!He believed what Mu Shuangshuang said.
However, deep down, he still felt a sense of irony; clearly, such a good person, yet turned out to be inconsistent, just like the bananas he had seen in town.
Yellow on the surface, white outside!
But thinking about it again, it seemed normal!
Who in their right mind would go to the Old Mu Family?
Mu Shuangshuang was at home, making some pancakes, took some of her pickled sour beans, some mung bean sprouts which just sprouted in the past two days, and some other side dishes.
She packed them in a big wooden basin, placed it on a wheelbarrow, and let Mu Dalang take it back to Tie Dao Village.
Mu Dalang looked at the large wooden basin filled to the brim, and felt his head nearly shaking off.
"Shuangshuang, I don’t want this. We can make it ourselves!"
"I’ve already prepared it, you can’t say no, can you? Besides, if you don’t want it, how do you know there’s nothing in there that your sister-in-law likes to eat?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Mu Dalang wasn’t good with words, and since Mu Shuangshuang insisted, he had no choice.
He could only push the wheelbarrow and walk toward Tie Dao Village.
On the road, he encountered several familiar villagers, their eyes widening when they saw the ready-prepared items in the basin.
Especially the bean sprouts, which outsiders couldn’t even buy!
"Thank you, Shuangshuang!" Mu Dalang said.
"It’s nothing, there’s too much at home to finish! If you don’t help me out, who will?" Mu Shuangshuang said.
The two reached Tie Dao Village, and along the way, everyone who passed by Mu Dalang greeted him warmly.
The atmosphere was much better than in Er Gui Village.
The only incident was when Mu Shuangshuang ran into Aunt Ge on the road.
At this moment, Ge Sandan had already gone to the county, supposedly to take care of Xiuxiu.
However, he wasn’t working at Mu Shuangshuang Restaurant and had found another place.
Seeing Mu Shuangshuang, Aunt Ge was naturally excited and held her to talk.
Mu Shuangshuang let Mu Dalang go ahead while she chatted with Aunt Ge.
"How have you been lately?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"I’m fine, just that brat Sandan, once he left, he didn’t return. You have the restaurant in town and know people; help me find out what that kid Sandan is really doing!"
Aunt Ge chattered on endlessly.
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t want to say anything initially, but some words couldn’t be held back once they reached her lips.
"Aunt Ge, isn’t Brother Sandan going to seek a son for Xiuxiu? I assume he won’t be back for some time!"
"Sigh, I insisted, Xiuxiu could just go alone! What’s the point of him joining the fun? The fields at home will be harvested soon; how can I, as an elderly, manage all that work?"
"But what if Xiuxiu has a son this time?" Mu Shuangshuang commented.
Aunt Ge immediately stopped talking about getting Ge Sandan home.
And she never mentioned it again!
Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t sure how to change Aunt Ge’s mind about forcing Xiuxiu to bear a son.
She had tried, but it wasn’t much use!
"Shuangshuang, hang out with me more if you’re free. I’m an old lady and terribly bored!
Lately, I don’t know why, but I feel totally lackluster and have no energy to do anything!
I used to love raising chickens, but now even when they grow well, it doesn’t make me happy!"
Aunt Ge spoke and sighed simultaneously.
"Is it because you’re missing Xiuxiu? Or Chunhua?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Aunt Ge shook her head, "Probably not! They weren’t around before, and I didn’t feel tired; the minute Sandan left, I felt drained!"
Mu Shuangshuang, after hearing Aunt Ge’s words, didn’t feel like saying anything!
After a long pause, she spoke: "Aunt Ge, I’m going to say something, please don’t get mad!"
"Hmm?"
"Xiuxiu is really great, she’s filial and has feelings for Sandan, there is no need to push her to bear a son! Her suffering gives you pressure as well!"
"You haven’t had children, you don’t understand! If you can’t bear a son for a man, what’s the point of getting a wife? Better not marry!
A man spends so much money to marry a wife home, lets her do nothing, if she can’t even fulfill this one small task, might as well divorce!"
Aunt Ge’s words were as resolute as ever.
Mu Shuangshuang also got irked, "If you only had daughters back then, would you have divorced?"
"Yes! If I only had daughters, I’d automatically step aside, not put Sandan’s father in a difficult position!"
"..."
Differences in values make communication difficult, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t want to stay at Ge Sandan’s house for another minute.
She hastily bid Aunt Ge farewell and walked quickly towards Mu Dalang’s house.
Huang Bita had been waiting for Mu Shuangshuang for a while, and as soon as she arrived, tea was served.
"Stay for lunch, I’ll cook in a bit!" Huang Bita said.
"Sister-in-law, are you drinking talismanic water given by Aunt Ge?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Huang Bita didn’t answer; she glanced at Mu Dalang.
Then Mu Dalang said, "Bita, I’m sorry, I told Shuangshuang about this!
But you have to listen to Shuangshuang; we aren’t in a hurry to have children, and I don’t want you to torture yourself!"
"Sister-in-law, are you drinking talismanic water for a child, or so Brother Dalang won’t divorce you?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Huang Bita was stunned, not knowing how to respond.
But seeing Aunt Ge always saying her son should divorce Xiuxiu, she felt scared.
Would one day she be divorced too?
Xiuxiu had a daughter; she had nothing!
"Forget it, no need to answer; I know the answer!" Mu Shuangshuang said!
After speaking, she asked Mu Dalang, "Eldest Brother, if sister-in-law can’t have children, will you divorce her?"
Mu Dalang immediately shook his head, "No, I won’t separate from Bita in this lifetime!"
"Good! What if people from the Old Mu Family or the village come and say sister-in-law can’t have children, what will you do?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"I will say I can’t have children, it’s not Xiuxiu’s problem, if they want to blame, blame me!"
Mu Shuangshuang nodded.
"Great! Sister-in-law, you heard what Eldest Brother said!"
Huang Bita was already covering her mouth, crying silently beside them.
Her eyes were red, and she kept wiping her tears with the back of her hand.
Mu Dalang hurriedly hugged her, "Don’t cry, this is my answer, it’s for a lifetime! Except when I’m dead!"
"Don’t say that!" Huang Bita reached out her hand to cover Mu Dalang’s mouth!
"Xiuxiu..."
Mu Shuangshuang stood at the side, watching the couple express their heartfelt words to each other.
After they finished crying, Mu Shuangshuang patted Mu Dalang on the shoulder.
"Actually, there’s another answer to the question earlier... if it were me, no matter who said anything about me, I would say, ’This is my life, none of your damn business!’
Mu Dalang was stunned, "Shuangshuang means?"
"I mean, you’re too centered on others, live your own life, why care about others?"
