Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 358: 113: Find Sun Shiwu, pay back tooth for tooth, take it all as it is!_1

Li Xianxian gave a few more instructions, then said, “Mum, you guys should set off as soon as possible. It’s better to do this sooner rather than later. Once you get to Beijing, I’ll arrange for someone to meet you.”

“Okay.” Li Shu hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Xianxian, can I see you this time?”

Ever since the incident three years ago, the mother and daughter hadn’t seen each other in person.

Their only contact over the years had been through phone calls and telegrams.

For anything important, Li Xianxian would notify Li Shu over the phone.

And Li Xianxian never used a landline.

Li Xianxian frowned slightly, her stance firm as she said, “No.”

“But… I miss you a lot.”

“Mum, do you want to kill me?” Li Xianxian retorted.

“Of course not! Xianxian, why are you talking nonsense?”

Li Xianxian continued, “Since you don’t want to kill me, don’t ever mention this again.”

Li Shu sighed, “Xianxian, we can’t never meet for the rest of our lives, can we?”

Li Xianxian replied, “When it’s time to meet, we’ll meet. Mum, your most important task now is to get to Beijing as soon as possible.”

“Alright, I understand. You take care of yourself in Beijing.”

After hanging up the phone, Li Shu returned to the Mu Family.

The Mu Family house was the same as before, three very low mud huts. The two weather-beaten gates were filled with a sense of vicissitudes, as if they could be broken by a gust of wind.

The thought of leaving this run-down place and living the good life in the city filled Li Shu with elation!

Old Lady Mu was in the courtyard, doting on her grandson.

“My precious little darling! Would you give grandma a smile?”

The nearly seven-month-old baby was chubby, with bubbles of snot on his face. His neck and wrists were piled with fat folds, but his eyes lacked the brightness that a child his age should have, appearing hollow and listless.

But nobody in the Mu Family noticed this abnormality, treating him as their apple of their eye.

After all, he was the Mu Family’s only grandson.

“Mum, I have great news!” Li Shu entered the courtyard from outside.

“What’s the big news?” Old Lady Mu looked up at Li Shu.

“Mum,” Li Shu continued, “Our Yangyang is doing exceptionally well now!”

Old Lady Mu snorted coldly, “What great achievements could that ungrateful wretch possibly have?”

She was just a burden! Not even worth half of her golden grandson!

Li Shu laughed and said, “I heard from my relatives in the city that Yangyang is now running four shops there, and business is booming! She’s now a ten-thousand-yuan household! Isn’t that great news?”

Ten-thousand-yuan household!

In this era, being a ten-thousand-yuan household was a very big deal!

Often you couldn’t find one in ten villages.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mu asked in surprise, “That wretch is really a ten-thousand-yuan household now?”

“Indeed!” responded Li Shu, “My relative saw it with his own eyes! Are you telling me he would lie to me? Mum, our Mu Family has finally produced a capable person! It’s just a shame that Cuihua has already divorced Jinbao! Otherwise, you and Jinbao could have enjoyed her success too…”

At the end of her words, Li Shu sighed deeply.

Old Lady Mu squinted her eyes, “Divorced? Even if she’s divorced, she’s still part of our Mu Family! Where is that wretched girl now?”

“Yangyang is in Beijing now.” Li Shu answered.

Old Lady Mu then said, “Ashu, go pack your things. We’re going to Beijing tonight!”

Now that Ni Yang is a ten-thousand-yuan household, of course they have to go to Beijing immediately!

After all, Ni Yang’s money is the Mu Family’s money.

If they don’t go quickly, what if Ni Cuihua hooks up with some rogue and gives all the money to him?

The Mu Family’s money should be under her control! It can’t be stolen by some rogue.

“Mum,” Li Shu hesitated, then said, “There’s something else I’d like to tell you, but you’ll need to prepare yourself.”

“Tell me.”

Li Shu continued, “My relative told me that Yangyang has changed her surname. She now uses her mother’s surname, Ni. Do you think she’ll still recognise us if we go to Beijing now?”

A name change?

How dare that wretch change her surname!

Old Lady Mu angrily stood up, her eyes glaring, “That ungrateful little wretch’s really gone too far! She was born a Mu, and even in death she’ll be a Mu! Just wait! When I get to Beijing, I’ll make her change her surname back! I’m her grandmother, you’re her mother! Yaozong is her blood brother, she doesn’t get to decide whether to acknowledge us or not!”
