Upon hearing his eldest son speak like that, Wu Family's patriarch sprang up from the ground and exclaimed, "Dream on! Do they really think they deserve to live in good houses and own land?"
At this, Xia Muxin smiled, her laughter bright and cheerful. She pulled out a plump wild chicken from her backpack and waved it in front of Zhou Yousheng and the others, saying calmly, "Uncle, we all know that my Xia Family isn't destined for good houses or comfortable beds." With a raised eyebrow, she locked eyes with Wu Family and coldly added, "So? Do you think you have the right to eat this wild chicken?"
Her words were icy, laced with a chilling threat. The Wu Family suddenly recalled Wang Shoucai's fate and fell silent.
Zhou Yousheng and his brothers, who had been so arrogant moments ago, now looked dejected, their heads bowed as they avoided Xia Muxin's gaze.
It was said that the Wang family had invited several doctors, but nearly an hour had passed with no progress. Wang Shoucai remained in a state of paralysis, holding onto his previous position.
"Dad, let's go. If they had any sense, they would live their own lives from now on. If they keep trying to use underhanded tactics to harm others, I, Xia Muxin, will be ready to deal with them one by one."
Seeing their expressions, Xia Muxin felt a sense of relief. After delivering her harsh words, she turned and left without looking back.
Aunt Xia tightly clutched the fabric at her chest. It wasn't until Xia Muxin and the others had walked far away that she sighed in relief and pulled Songzi along without daring to glance at Wu Family as they headed toward their home.
Wu Family glared fiercely at Xia Muxin's retreating figure. After a long moment of silence, he shot a glance at his disappointing sons before storming into the house.
Meanwhile, he scoffed inwardly, thinking to himself that Xia Muxin shouldn't get too complacent; he would find a way to bring her down...
Selling firewood and game meat was a double win. Uncle Bingzi looked at Xia Muxin with admiration, nearly treating her like a goddess. Su Yan-Chu welcomed her warmly and even invited her for tea. During their tea time, he requested that she come back in five days to prepare a feast for him.
Xia Muxin readily agreed, but she had a request: in addition to bringing a dish herself, the cost would rise from twenty taels to one hundred taels. She also mentioned that she would bring a surprise that day.
Su Yan-Chu hesitated at the thought of spending one hundred taels, but after hearing about her so-called additional dish and surprise, he agreed as well.
After enjoying some tea and chatting, Xia Muxin felt elated having earned money. With the forty taels she made from selling goods today, she entered a knife shop and bought a set of knives, along with a practical pair of scissors. Most importantly, she went to the apothecary to buy thirteen spices and other ingredients.
In the end, she also purchased rice, glutinous rice, and corn kernels. Passing by a general store, she picked up some seasonal seeds. As the sun began to set in the west, she finally stopped shopping at Summer Forest's urging.
On her way back, she spotted a meat stall with some marrow and pig offal. She bought a bit of that too, along with some lard.
"Muxin, what are you buying all this for? These are things people don't want!"
Summer Forest was alarmed to see his daughter being tricked into buying bones and pig offal.
Xia Muxin had rarely been to town before and didn't know that items like caviar and fish roe were often discarded by others. She frowned and asked, "Father, are you saying these are things people bought but didn't want?"
