Chapter 1355 - 1350: Wang Dali Turns Bandit
Mu Shuangshuang spoke very straightforwardly, not caring if Yu Si Niang would feel uncomfortable hearing it.She thought like this: Yu Si Niang was too soft-hearted, always considering others in everything.
She wasn’t that kind of person like Yu Si Niang, nor could she wrong herself for the sake of others.
It’s better to speak her thoughts openly, as a reminder, to prevent her parents from suffering greatly in the future!
"Shuangshuang, don’t get angry, it was my fault for not considering it just now. If anything happens next time, I’ll definitely discuss it with you."
The food for the school students should be prepared by Mrs. Liu.
This was indeed a decision made on the spur of the moment and was somewhat inconsiderate.
However, Yu Si Niang understood the reason.
She, like Mrs. Liu, had suffered oppression from the Old Mu Family, so she understood Mrs. Liu’s heart.
If it weren’t so difficult, no one would want to stay at home without going out to earn money and save for themselves!
That’s why she softened towards Mrs. Liu!
"Mom, you have the decision-making power. Shuangshuang originally didn’t want to interfere, but now she is about to go to the Northwest, and if anything happens, I won’t be able to help, so..."
"I know, don’t worry! Right, before you head to the Northwest, do you want to visit your grandmother’s house? Since the restaurant opened, you haven’t been there for a long time, and your grandmother must miss you a lot!"
"That sounds great! How about I go now, stay overnight, and come back early tomorrow?"
The third branch now has a carriage, making travel convenient whenever required.
"I won’t accompany you then! Your father is busy, and someone needs to look after the house. When our new house is ready, we’ll invite them over!" Yu Si Niang said apologetically.
"It’s fine, I won’t find it difficult to make this trip!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
After saying that, she picked up some items from home—
Jerky, homemade meat sauce, Lao Gan Ma, and fresh bean sprouts.
She took some of each to send to her grandmother and Sixth Uncle.
Driving the carriage herself was convenient and fast.
In less than an hour and a half, Mu Shuangshuang reached Yu Family Village.
It had been nearly half a year since her last visit, and Mu Shuangshuang noticed quite a few changes in Yu Family Village.
In the past, when she entered the village, there were always many people walking around.
The children, in particular, would always be playing and frolicking at the village entrance!
But this time, she didn’t know what was happening, and she didn’t see a single person.
Neither on the village paths nor at each household, as all the doors were tightly shut.
When she arrived at Yu Liulang’s house, the door was similarly shut tight.
"Grandma, Grandpa~"
"Sixth Uncle!~"
Mu Shuangshuang called out loudly to her family members.
After a long while, someone from the Yu Family peeked their head out to look outside.
It was Yu Erlang.
"Second Uncle, you..."
Before Mu Shuangshuang could finish speaking, Yu Erlang pulled his head back in and shouted to the people inside: "Everyone, come quickly, Shuangshuang... Shuangshuang is here!"
As soon as Yu Erlang finished speaking, the gates of the Yu Family opened.
Old Mrs. Yu, Mr. Yu, and Yu Liulang all came out.
However, Mu Shuangshuang still noticed that when they came out, they deliberately glanced around.
It seemed like they were afraid of something!
"Shuangshuang, come in quickly, come in quickly!"
Yu Liulang’s voice was somewhat urgent.
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t think much and drove the carriage into the Yu Family’s courtyard.
Once she was in, Yu Liulang quickly shut the courtyard gates.
He pulled Mu Shuangshuang, intending to take her inside.
"Sixth Uncle, I haven’t brought my things in yet, and the horse..."
"Take the horse to the backyard, I’ll cut grass for it when it’s dark, don’t take the horse out, it’s not safe!" Yu Liulang said.
The more Mu Shuangshuang listened, the more confused she felt.
"Sixth Uncle, has something happened?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Yu Liulang directly pulled her into the house.
Once she was inside, the door was immediately shut.
"Shuangshuang, don’t be afraid, Sixth Uncle has something to tell you!" Yu Liulang said.
"What is it? Please go ahead!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"That Wang Dali, the man who was imprisoned and then went to mine, has returned! He’s... he’s become a bandit now and has come back, robbing homes in the village.
Many people in the village just had their grains taken away after harvesting. He even beats people, hitting whoever he feels like, bullying many in the village!
That’s why we’re left with no choice but to hide at home, or else Wang Dali and his men will come to harm people."
Yu Liulang wasn’t a coward.
But he couldn’t withstand Wang Dali’s numerous followers.
Besides, now that his wife Xiao Hua was heavily pregnant, the only thing he could do was hide as long as he could.
There’s no way he could let Wang Dali bully his family!
"Wang Dali? Where was he mining?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"Mountain Village, it’s your second aunt’s brother Liu Jun, I’ve seen him!" Yu Liulang said.
Mu Shuangshuang frowned, recalling that Mu Dazhong had escaped because of something happening in Mountain Village. Could it be related to this Wang Dali?
"What about the other villagers? Do they think the same?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Wang Dali, whom Mu Shuangshuang had once dealt with, was indeed daring.
He feared nothing!
However, her grandmother and Sixth Uncle hiding in the village all day wasn’t a solution either.
No one could guarantee that he wouldn’t suddenly come out and harm more ordinary people.
Or even harm the people she cared about!
"Shuangshuang, surely you’re not thinking of getting involved in this, are you? Better stay out of it! By the way, where’s Fengzi, are you alone?"
Yu Liulang noticed Lu Yuanfeng was missing from Mu Shuangshuang’s side and couldn’t help but ask.
"He’s gone to the military camp, to be a soldier!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"What? Taken as a recruit? Why, wasn’t anyone taken from our village?"
In most people’s eyes, ordinary people becoming soldiers were often conscripted, not considered a good thing.
Only the sons of noble families went to the military camp to pursue high-ranking positions.
In today’s terms, without family background or status, they’d just be cannon fodder.
Might as well not go!
"He wasn’t conscripted; he went on his own!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Is he insane?" Yu Erlang was quite agitated.
He himself had nearly been conscripted back then, and were it not for his wife Mrs. Li making a fuss, he wouldn’t have been able to return.
After speaking, Yu Erlang realized his behavior was too agitated.
"Shuangshuang, I’m sorry, Second Uncle speaks plainly, don’t take it to heart!" Yu Erlang said.
Mu Shuangshuang knew what kind of person Yu Erlang was, so she naturally wouldn’t take offense!
"It’s okay, let’s not talk about Fengzi, let’s talk about this Wang Dali! I really think we should deal with him!
If we leave this hidden danger unresolved, you’ll have to live like this forever. What if he shows up at your home, what then?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
This was also a concern for the Yu Family, but none of the other villagers had taken action.
They were afraid of inviting trouble upon themselves!
"Shuangshuang, let’s think it over!" Mr. Yu said.
