"I don’t care, I want to leave! You must let go!" Old Mrs. Mu still had that high and mighty deanor.
Qin Xianglan initially tried to be kind, but later, even she couldn’t take it anymore.
"Auntie, doesn’t it hurt? You’ve been hit so many tis, why don’t you learn?" Qin Xianglan asked.
"What’s it to you? Are you letting go or not?" Old Mrs. Mu asked unreasonably.
"Hmph, it seems you still don’t understand where this place is!"
Qin Xianglan stood up, ready to leave.
Old Mrs. Mu rolled her eyes as if she had co to a realization, suddenly saying, "Don’t go, you... you help find my son, I’ll give you money!"
Qin Xianglan turned back around and said, "Money, power, none of it matters! Your family doesn’t know you’re here, I can’t get out, and in the village, except for Zhu San, no one goes out!"
Qin Xianglan wanted to escape, but she had no chance!
Not to ntion, getting out to find soone was even more impossible!
"Auntie, you heard Zhu San, right? He wants you to marry his son, that fool, the one who was drooling just now!"
It wouldn’t have mattered if Qin Xianglan hadn’t said anything, but once she did, Old Mrs. Mu felt nauseated, wanting to vomit!
"Stop it! I’m an old lady, and I’m disgusted!"
After a while, when she cald down, she asked, "Then what should I do? I must get out, my son is still outside!"
"First, tell who your son is, who your family mbers are, and I’ll think of a way!" Qin Xianglan said.
Old Mrs. Mu initially didn’t want to say anything, but considering her current situation, she relented.
Her son was the county magistrate, her granddaughter owned a restaurant, and her eldest daughter owned a shoe store.
She used all the relatives she could think of.
Qin Xianglan was silent for a mont, feeling that this wasn’t going to work!
Old Mrs. Mu’s family had no idea; even her son didn’t know about it.
If her son didn’t know, there naturally wouldn’t be anyone coming to look.
However, she wouldn’t tell Old Mrs. Mu.
"Auntie, the father and son are almost done eating, I’m going out to check, you stay here and behave, and stop cursing!
No matter how much you curse, Zhu San won’t suffer, and if you provoke him, he’ll kill you! There have been won beaten to death in the village!"
Qin Xianglan had always been very cautious in this village.
She was afraid of causing trouble, because if sothing did happen, she could swear Zhu San wouldn’t save her!
Having heard what she said, Old Mrs. Mu quieted down a bit, finally stopping her cursing.
When Zhu San ca in, Old Mrs. Mu lay on the kang, neither cursing nor arguing.
He couldn’t help but chuckle, "Ha, this woman really has so skills, she actually persuaded her! Saved a lot of trouble!"
Old Mrs. Mu initially wanted to spit in Zhu San’s face, but in the end, she held back!
She listened to Qin Xianglan, waiting for the right mont.
And so, another day passed, with Qin Xianglan feeding her once with food and once with water.
She even wiped the soot from the stove for Old Mrs. Mu, so she wasn’t living too miserably, but the places where she had been beaten still burned painfully.
Seeing Old Mrs. Mu covered in injuries, Qin Xianglan couldn’t help but say, "Auntie, why not agree to Zhu San and marry his son?"
As soon as Qin Xianglan finished speaking, Old Mrs. Mu hit her in the stomach with her head, nearly knocking Qin Xianglan out.
"What are you doing?" Qin Xianglan asked angrily, clutching her stomach.
"What are you doing, you foul-mouthed girl! I’m an old woman, I already have grandchildren, and you think I should marry a fool, are you joking?" Old Mrs. Mu scolded furiously.
"That’s not what I ant!" Qin Xianglan explained.
"If Zhu San goes to town, he’ll stay in the village for half a year, do you think we can escape while he’s here?
Instead, you should agree to marry his son! Zhu San treasures Dogzi, he’d definitely go to town to buy wedding items, and by then, I’ll go to your granddaughter’s restaurant and find her!"
Qin Xianglan thought about it all night before coming up with this plan.
If there was anything that could give her a chance to leave, this was it!
Unless Dogzi got married!
"This..."
"What are you hesitating for? It’s already been two days! If you wait any longer, and Zhu San lets his son sleep with you, whether you go through the ceremony or not won’t matter!"
Qin Xianglan had considered many possibilities, but she felt if Old Mrs. Mu continued to be stubborn, she wouldn’t be able to help her!
"Auntie, think about it yourself! You could be tornted by these two n for life, or sacrifice a little, deceive them!"
After saying that, Qin Xianglan left.
She left the space for Old Mrs. Mu, hoping she could figure it out.
Elsewhere, Mu Shuangshuang knew the deceiver was Zhu San, and even what he looked like.
The only problem was she couldn’t find where he lived.
She spent so money to hire so beggars to ruffle around nearby villages, specifically asking about Old Mrs. Mu.
As for farther places, Mu Shuangshuang arranged for a few seemingly honest people outside to disguise as rchants to inquire about the situation.
Everyone was seriously searching along the way.
But after a whole day, they gained absolutely nothing.
Two days had passed, and there was no news from Old Mrs. Mu.
Mr. Mu had now rented an inn in town, swearing he would find Old Mrs. Mu.
As for Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian, at first they stayed at ho, but seeing that Old Mrs. Mu hadn’t returned for days, they went out searching too.
But naturally, they couldn’t find her!
Another day passed, and the people Mu Shuangshuang sent out ca back again.
Mr. Xu, the accountant, paid them, and they set out again to search.
Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian also returned from outside and went straight to the private room on the second floor, complaining to Mr. Mu, saying, "Ah, this mother has really beco lawless, insisting on following that old man!"
"Exactly, our brothers’ legs are about to be worn out, if we can’t find her, we really won’t be able to walk!"
When Mu Shuangshuang entered the private room, she heard their conversation.
She irritably said, "Worn out legs? I heard Second Uncle was in town, found a place, and slept the whole morning!
And Fifth Uncle spent the morning flirting with won outside the brothel?"
"You girl, what are you talking about? We... we didn’t do those things!"
"Second Brother, Fifth Brother, you beasts!" Mr. Mu believed Mu Shuangshuang and picked up the teacup from the table, ready to smash it at them.
"Dad, this is a cup from Shuangshuang Restaurant. If you break it, you’ll have to pay for it!" Mu Dazhong said.
"Exactly! Dad, don’t think you won’t compensate, we saw it!" Mu Danian chid in.
"Your mom has been missing for so many days, and you still have the face... I’ll beat you to death!" Mr. Mu stood up, picked up his pipe, and threw it at the two brothers.
The private room burst into chaos for a mont.
"Enough, there are still guests in the restaurant, what if we disturb them?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Only then did Mr. Mu put away his pipe, shooting a glare at the Mu family’s two brothers.
He let out a low sigh, "Where on earth has your mother gone, I..."
