Tang Moling listened intently to their movements. When they left, he wanted to open his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t say a word.
He thought for a moment. This was probably for the best. If he and Mu Jingzhe had been discovered today, he wouldn’t have minded. However, it would have affected Mu Jingzhe’s reputation adversely. Then, Old Lady Mu might have caused a ruckus and Mu Jingzhe might have even been drowned in saliva.
?
Tang Moling had Mu Jingzhe in his heart and was now considerate when it came to her. Thus, he remained quiet and waited for Mu Jingzhe to come and find him.
Meanwhile, Mu Jingzhe’s group rushed over to Li Hua’s house.
Li Hua and his mother were still asleep. Li Hua had just returned from the smelly toilet. He didn’t care that the water was cold. He had just washed away the stench on his body.
Li Hua hadn’t expected that his plan would end with Mu Jingzhe using brute force. He had been beaten up quite badly by Mu Jingzhe. Not long after he woke up, he saw that he was in the bathroom, covered in filth. He was furious.
However, the most important thing was cleaning himself up.
Li Hua’s mother was waiting for him. She hadn’t gone to look for Li Hua because she was the one who closed the mill.
When she had seen that Li Hua was wholeheartedly thinking about Mu Jingzhe and had even asked her for help, Li Hua’s mother’s heart had softened and she’d agreed.
When she’d gone to lock the door, because it was her first time doing such a thing, she’d felt too flustered and hadn’t noticed that the voice inside wasn’t Li Hua’s. She’d hurriedly locked the door and run away.
After running home, she had hoped that everything would go smoothly and that her son would be able to fulfill his wishes. She hadn’t expected him to come back like that.
Before Li Hua’s mother could ask any more questions, Mu Jingzhe and her group went to look for them.
“Li Hua, even though I didn’t agree to your marriage proposal, you can’t hate me so much that you’d deliberately use sesame seeds to harm me. You clearly know that I’m allergic to sesame seeds, yet you still added sesame seeds into the mutton!”
Mu Jingzhe didn’t say anything else and simply treated this matter as his revenge after his rejected proposal.
Li Hua hadn’t expected that he would be discovered even after suffering. “I didn’t. Why would I harm you?”
Li Hua wanted to explain that he hadn’t thought of harming Mu Jingzhe back. He’d just wanted to get Mu Jingzhe. However, explaining that he’d wanted to take advantage of Mu Jingzhe and become her savior wouldn’t sound good. Such an explanation would make him appear even more shameless.
He was stuck. Li Hua’s mother was shocked. She hadn’t expected things to turn out like this. She wanted to know what was going on. She wanted to know who the man she had been locked up with was.
However, other villagers also went there together. They didn’t hear them mention a man, and from the looks of it, Mu Jingzhe didn’t seem to have done that sort of thing.
Because she was so flustered, she didn’t listen carefully and only vaguely heard a male voice. Judging by the way things appeared now, she began to suspect that she had heard wrong. Perhaps there had been no man inside, only Mu Jingzhe.
But that didn’t seem right either. Why would Mu Jingzhe be speaking like this if she had been alone? It really had seemed like a male voice…
Li Hua’s mother wanted to think about it some more, but a second later, her thoughts were sent flying away by Shao Qiyang.
When Shao Qiyang saw Li Hua’s guilty look, he couldn’t help but make a move.
Previously, when Li Hua had suddenly come to propose marriage, Shao Qiyang had been furious. Due to his identity, he hadn’t dared speak carelessly, afraid that he would ruin everything. He was also afraid that he wasn’t worthy of Mu Jingzhe.
Li Hua, on the other hand, had gone straight to their door to propose marriage. Despite being rejected, he’d refused to give up time and again. Now, because he had been rejected, he’d even directly harmed her. How could Shao Qiyang tolerate this?
The place where Li Hua had been beaten by Mu Jingzhe was still hurting, and here he was, being beaten again. How unlucky. However, when everyone heard the commotion and learned what he had done, they all accused him of doing bad things and told him to stop harming others.
Li Hua had a nosebleed, and his eyes were black and blue. It was a tragic sight. Li Hua’s mother was standing aside, looking heartbroken and helpless. She didn’t dare say a word.
They still had to survive in Great Eastern Village. Now, they had incurred the wrath of the entire village. If the villagers found out that he’d actually had other plans, who knew what everyone would think of them? In the future, he could forget about getting a wife.
Li Hua pitifully apologized to Mu Jingzhe. Mu Jingzhe felt a little better and asked curiously, “But how did you know that I’m allergic to sesame seeds?”
It had been a long time since she’d had an allergic reaction. Perhaps only Li Zhaodi and her family remembered it. Logically speaking, no one else should know, let alone Li Hua.
Li Hua didn’t hide anything. “I heard Mu Xue mention it the other day.”
Realization dawned on Mu Jingzhe. The Mu Family naturally knew about her allergies, but she hadn’t expected Mu Xue to still remember it. It was likely because it was Mu Xue’s candy that Mu Jingzhe had snatched. However, she had never shown her any concern before, so why would she suddenly mention it?
Mu Jingzhe found it a little strange, but based on what Li Hua said, it seemed like she had revealed it subconsciously.
Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help letting the children take care of her when they went back in the middle of the night. Shao Qiyang even asked if she should go to the hospital to get checked.
“No, it’s fine. I just felt uncomfortable earlier, but I feel much better now. It’s not a big problem. I’ll be fine if I don’t eat that again in the future.”
Mu Jingzhe waved her hand. “It’s already midnight. Go and rest. Don’t you have to work tomorrow?”
After working for an entire day and suffering from allergies, Mu Jingzhe was exhausted and quickly fell asleep.
Before falling asleep, she had a vague feeling that she had forgotten something. However, before she could remember it, she drifted off to sleep because she was too exhausted.
As for Little Bei, after she fell asleep, she secretly turned on the flashlight to see if Mu Jingzhe was alright.
Since she was sleeping with Mu Jingzhe, she took the initiative to observe Mu Jingzhe’s condition and said that she would watch Mommy.
Little Bei knew that allergies were no joke, so she didn’t dare be careless. Afraid that she would fall asleep, she secretly pinched herself a few times to stay awake. She guarded Mu Jingzhe for more than an hour. Only when she saw that Mu Jingzhe was sleeping soundly did she relax and fall asleep.
The next day, Little Bei woke up late. When dawn broke, she was still sleeping soundly. Mu Jingzhe also woke up later than usual.
When she got up, Shao Qiyang had already gone to work. He’d only left a note for her to rest well. If anything happened, she would have to go to the hospital.
After washing her face, Mu Jingzhe felt like she had forgotten something. Upon thinking about it carefully, she looked at the water in the basin and finally remembered what she had forgotten—Tang Moling!
She had left Tang Moling stranded in the mill last night!
She had promised that she would go look for him, but after venting her anger, she had accidentally forgotten about it.
Mu Jingzhe couldn’t be bothered to wipe her face. She immediately ran all the way to the mill. “Tang Moling, are you alright?”
“Alright? How could I possibly be alright!” Tang Moling’s furious voice rang out. There was a tinge of grievance to his angry voice, as well as a nasal tone.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I was so busy last night that I forgot all about it.”
Mu Jingzhe ran over and saw Tang Moling’s pale face. Tang Moling’s eyes were red as he stared at her.
“I didn’t do it on purpose. I really didn’t do it on purpose.” Mu Jingzhe quickly rescued Tang Moling and untied the rope that was still tied around his hands.
Tang Moling had been tied up the entire night, so his wrists were a little red and swollen. He lay on the ground for a while and didn’t get up, looking like he had been tortured the entire night. If Mu Jingzhe didn’t know better, she would have suspected that she had done something to Tang Moling.
