Chapter 1308 - 1303: The Sin Caused by Mu Xiangxiang
"And she’s getting skinnier and skinnier. People who used to say she was chubby now say, Miao Miao is growing more beautiful, and we’re happy about it!Even though, as Miao Miao got skinnier, she ate more and more. Every time she ate, she had to go to the toilet immediately!"
Hearing this, Mr. Mu suddenly had a bad feeling.
Because this situation was really too similar to Xiangxiang.
"After Miao Miao got thinner, we found her a good match. Just three days before we were going to let them meet and get engaged, Miao Miao started vomiting uncontrollably, everything she ate!
We found many doctors, but no medicine worked! Even after taking medicine, she would vomit it out immediately!
That’s when she told us, she had been using the method taught by Sister Xiangxiang, to induce vomiting!
Sister Xiangxiang said, this method would allow Miao Miao to eat as much as she wants without gaining weight!
By the time we found out, it was already too late, Miao Miao wasn’t absorbing anything at all anymore!"
After listening to Cao Jianmin, Mr. Mu stomped his feet repeatedly, and then cursed, "That beast, isn’t it enough that she ruined herself, how many more does she want to harm before she’s satisfied?!"
"Ruin herself?" Cao Jianmin was somewhat surprised.
Mu Dashan added from the side, "Xiangxiang also overinduced vomiting, a while ago, she had to be sent to the clinic!
Although she narrowly escaped death, now, she can only lie on the bed, needing care for eating, drinking, and everything else!"
"Serves her right, retribution! For harming our Miao Miao, even Heaven won’t let her off!" Mu Xianxian laughed loudly upon hearing Xiangxiang’s outcome.
However, within that laughter, there was so much misery and coldness.
"Poor Miao, just died like this, I... I won’t let that beast off!"
Mr. Mu didn’t blame Mu Xianxian, at this moment, he could understand Mu Xianxian.
No one could bear it!
Your good daughter, just harmed like this by someone!
"Xianxian, I’m sorry to Miao, I will make that beast come and kneel before her!" Mr. Mu said and was about to pull Mu Dashan away.
Cao Jianmin hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "Dad, actually, Miao Miao is not dead yet!"
"Not dead, and your house looked like that?" Mr. Mu was stunned.
"We found a fortune teller, and he said, we should hold a funeral for Miao Miao, so the King Yama thinks Miao Miao is dead, and the ghost messenger won’t come to take her soul! This way, maybe Miao Miao can escape this doom!"
Cao Jianmin’s words were actually a bit absurd.
But in the Da Ning Dynasty, where the belief in ghosts and gods was widespread, many chose to believe it.
Mr. Mu was one of those who chose to believe it!
"Jianmin, can you take me to see Miao Miao?" Mr. Mu asked.
"Of course, Dad, come with me!"
Cao Jianmin got up and walked towards the back courtyard, towards Cao Miaomiao’s room.
This time, Mu Xianxian didn’t stop him, she didn’t have the energy to stop him.
Mu Dashan didn’t go to see Cao Miaomiao, he stayed to take care of Mu Xianxian.
"Big Sis, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me, I... I... I’m still that same me from back then, I will definitely support you!"
In fact, in earlier years, the relationship between Mu Dashan and Mu Xianxian was good.
The money Mu Xianxian used to get married was all saved bit by bit by Mu Dashan working at the docks.
But later, when Mu Dashan wanted to get married and asked Mu Xianxian to lend him money for Si Niang’s dowry, she refused, and afterward, Mu Dashan rarely interacted with Mu Xianxian.
Over time, the less they contacted each other, the more their relationship faded.
Mu Xianxian had long forgotten that, back then, Mu Dashan was always the one helping her.
When she washed clothes, Mu Dashan helped her carry the bucket.
Even though he was so much younger than her.
When she went to work in the fields, Mu Dashan would snatch away the tasks and get them all done.
Mu Xianxian slowly recalled her childhood with Mu Dashan, her nose tingling more and more. "Wuwuwu, Third Brother, I’m sorry... I’m sorry!"
"Back then, it was my fault, I even didn’t want to give you money for your wedding!"
"I even sided with them to bully you, so many years have passed, and I’ve never thought about your kindness!"
After experiencing big events, one’s perception of many things changes unknowingly.
The people she wanted to please before, she now had no interest in.
On the contrary, those she used to overlook, she started to remember.
"Big Sis, let’s not talk about it, I’ve forgotten those things!" Mu Dashan said.
The more Mu Dashan said so, the more ashamed and angry Mu Xianxian felt.
"Third Brother, for Old Mu Family, only your third branch is good, the rest are rotten to the core! You have to watch out for them! Especially Big Brother!"
All these years, the silver she invested in Mu Dade, Mu Xianxian couldn’t even count.
But when Mu Dade became a scholar and a county magistrate, she didn’t gain any benefits at all.
She didn’t consider it before because she hoped Mu Dade would take her to a prosperous life.
Now, with her daughter almost gone, Mu Xianxian didn’t want anything!
As long as her daughter gets through this calamity and survives, she won’t ask for anything!
Mu Dashan sighed, he didn’t mention that Mu Dade had changed his heart and didn’t want to take the Old Mu Family to the county.
Even in his heart, he felt that this big sister had changed, becoming more understanding!
"Big Sis, let’s not bring these things up! Now the most important thing is to find a doctor to help cure Miao Miao!" Mu Dashan said.
"It’s useless, every doctor in town has seen her, and the doctors have prescribed a pile of medicine, but everything Miao Miao eats, she vomits out, maybe..."
The rest of the words, Mu Xianxian didn’t have the courage to say.
"Big Sis, you can’t give up. You know what Shuangshuang became like back then, you weren’t unaware, but we never gave up on her. Now look at Shuangshuang, smart and lively, who can still recognize the girl who didn’t speak back then?"
What Mu Dashan said was true, everyone only remembered the lively Shuangshuang now.
They forgot, the girl who used to crouch in a corner, afraid of everything.
Recalling things from the past, Mu Xianxian suddenly felt a bit more courage in her heart!
Yes, she can’t give up!
Her daughter isn’t dead, why should she give up?
"Third brother, thank you, I know what to do!" Mu Xianxian said, then got up and started throwing out all the funeral preparations.
The white lanterns, white cloth, she wanted to throw them all away.
Her daughter wasn’t dead, she couldn’t have those things around!
Mu Dashan saw this and started helping Mu Xianxian to get rid of them as well.
...
When Mr. Mu and Cao Jianmin came out of Cao Miaomiao’s room, their lips were already turning blue.
He didn’t even dare to recall the scene he had just seen.
The skinny little girl, lying on the bed, not a trace of flesh on her face or body.
Her entire facial contour, as if carved by a knife.
Especially those hands, no different from chicken claws!
