Seeing Wang Lehan's stubborn look, Mu Hewan became even more helpless. This kid was really stubborn.
"Be good, your sister Wan has not been beaten. Come out with me quickly. Do you want to eat meat? I can't make rabbit meat for you by myself!"
Ma Juan coaxed Wang Lehan patiently and softly. After hearing that the bruises on Mu Hewan's body were not from being beaten, she compromised and left the house with Ma Juan.
Seeing Ma Juan leaving with Wang Lehan, Mu Hewan breathed out a sigh of relief. This little girl really couldn't be offended.
After confirming that Mu Hewan was not wronged, Xie Ziyu's role became normal. She looked at Mu Hewan with a smile and spoke in a teasing tone.
"Okay, the little girl is quite powerful. She has found a more powerful man for herself. Now I am not worried that your two brothers will take care of you if you take Jiang Hao back to the capital!"
"Whether I will be punished or not is not up to me. As much as my brothers dote on me, they will definitely make a fuss when they know that I got married secretly, but I don't plan to return to the capital so soon."
Mu Hewan really does not plan to return to the capital so soon. One is that she is no longer the Mu Hewan she once was. She is not sure whether she will be discovered. The other is that she has not made it clear to Jiang Hao that her home is in the capital. Because of her status, she was afraid that Jiang Hao would feel uncomfortable.
So she wanted to do something before returning to the capital, at least to give Jiang Hao the confidence to stand in front of her family and not be scared away.
Xie Ziyu did not expect that Mu Hewan was not in a hurry to return to the capital. She thought that Mu Hewan would be eager to go back. Although she went to the countryside for Chu Yao before, she really didn't know about his rural life. Now it seems that she is not. That's the situation.
Xie Ziyu would only respect Mu Hewan's decision. She walked to the cabinet and took out the cotton clothes and trousers she had made for Mu Hewan, as well as a cloth bag, and placed them in front of Mu Hewan.
"This is your cotton coat. There is still some cotton left. I am going to make you a cotton vest in two days, but there is not enough fabric. When I go to the city again, I will buy you a piece of suitable fabric."
"This is the money Chu Yao paid for his watch. Because it is of good quality and is such a precious watch, it was sold for one hundred and fifty-six yuan."
"Also, this is the acupuncture needle you asked me to buy for you. An old lady sold it to me, saying it was left by her old man who passed away. I thought it was useless at first, but I didn't expect someone would take it. …”
Mu Hewan's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard that it was left by an old Chinese medicine doctor. She was not so excited when she saw the money just now.
She quickly picked up the acupuncture bag and looked at the neatly arranged silver needles on the bag, her eyes brightening. She did not expect to encounter such a complete set of silver needles in this era.
"Then this old man should be from a Chinese medicine family, right? Does she have any medicinal materials at home?"
Mu Hewan sat up from the bed excitedly. She couldn't wait to know the situation of this family. If possible, she would like to visit that family now.
Mu Hewan knew that this era was short of medical treatment and medicine, and those who could possess a complete set of silver needles were probably not ordinary people.
Seeing Mu Hewan's excitement, Xie Ziyu chuckled unconsciously. She took Mu Hewan's hand and asked Mu Hewan to sit down.
"I don't know if her home has medicine, but her home used to be a pharmacy. Later, after the old man passed away, the old lady closed the pharmacy. I don't know what's in it specifically. If you want to know, I can take you with me. Go check it out.”
Xie Ziyu didn't know why Mu Hewan was interested in this kind of thing. She had known Mu Hewan for a long time and had never heard that Mu Hewan knew medical skills.
"Okay, I want to go to the city to get a marriage certificate from Jiang Hao when the road is clear. Why don't you go with us that day?"
Mu Hewan couldn't wait. She really wanted to do something. Although she had a lot of wealth in her small treasury, it was not enough.
"Okay, I heard that the road has been opened. Why don't we go tomorrow? I just want to go to the city. How are you going to go with Jiang Hao? Why don't we find Wang Mazi at the east end of the village and rent his donkey? Let’s go together in the car.”
Xie Ziyu was thinking unconsciously as she spoke. She felt that Mu Hewan was too delicate to walk such a long distance.
"Can I borrow a donkey cart? If possible, we can borrow a donkey cart. Jiang Hao should know how to drive, right?"
Mu Hewan unconsciously thought of Jiang Hao driving a donkey cart, and found it a bit funny.
The two of them discussed going to the city. Xie Ziyu thought of Chu Shanshan's borrowing money again. She wrapped the things she gave to Mu Hewan in a piece of furoshiki, and then asked Mu Hewan in a relaxed tone.
"You don't even know what's going on between you and Shen Shanshan. She's really annoying. I was so annoyed by her that I didn't even chase her away. As a result, she ran away as soon as you came. It looks like I still have resentment towards you.”
"Of course she hates me. It's all because of me that she's penniless now. She gave all her money to Chu Yao to plug the hole, that's why she's so miserable. And yesterday Chu Yao went to me to borrow money... …”
Mu Hewan smiled as she talked and told Xie Ziyu everything that happened yesterday. Xie Ziyu was shocked at first, and then looked distressed.
It was hard for her to think of what Mu Hewan had gone through to make herself understand. This was really not easy.
"It's getting late. You can go to Wang Mazi tomorrow to borrow a donkey cart. Borrow the donkey cart and find us!"
Mu Hewan knew that Jiang Hao's status was not good, and sometimes the people in the village were not very friendly to Jiang Hao. He was worried that Jiang Hao would be in trouble, so she asked Xie Ziyu to handle it.
Xie Ziyu did not refuse, he responded happily. She was planning to buy something for Mu Hewan as a wedding gift tomorrow.
Shen Shanshan came out from behind the pile of corn stalks in disheveled clothes, holding five dollars tightly in her hands. She never dreamed that she would do such an embarrassing thing for a few dollars.
Mu Hewan came out of the educated youth spot and happened to see Shen Shanshan adjusting her clothes nervously, looking around with a guilty conscience.
She realized that something was wrong, so she hid behind the corner and looked in the direction of the corn stalks where Shen Shanshan came out. She wanted to know what Shen Shanshan had done and why she was disheveled.
Mu Hewan waited for about a few minutes. She felt a little cold, so she lost interest and wanted to leave. However, before she took a few steps, another figure came out from behind the corn stalks.
Mu Hewan stared at the figure with wide eyes. He did not expect that it was the village secretary who came out of it. She covered her mouth in shock.
