76 I Just Like Her

Today’s breakfast was coarse-grain buns. Uncle Hea had also cut some streaky pork and boiled it with pickled vegetables. The vegetables were stuffed into the buns before eating and they tasted wonderful.

Madam Sun looked at the remaining meat in the pot and reached out to take it, but she was stopped by Hea Shouyi.

“What are you doing? Did you find water? If you haven’t found it, then go away.”

Madam Sun was not afraid of Hea Shouyi. She felt that he was just Su Ying’s lackey. “I want to eat it. I don’t believe you can stop me!”

Hea Shouyi became annoyed. Seeing that Madam Sun kept reaching into the pot, he simply covered the pot with the lid and then picked up the rod for controlling the campfire at the side to hit Madam Sun’s hand.

“I think you haven’t received enough beating from the Mistress yesterday. Today, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of the Mistress and let you know what the rules are!”

Madam Sun was no match for Hea Shouyi and was forced to retreat.

“Mother, stop making a fuss. Let’s go find a water source first. Once we find it, we’ll naturally have food to eat.” Wang Lang tried to get up from the ground.

When Madam Zhou saw him, she quickly went forward to support him. “Husband, your injuries have not healed yet. Don’t move. I’ll go with Mother. I’ll go with Mother to look for water. You don’t move.”

Wang Lang wasn’t afraid of death, but he couldn’t die before he helped his wife, daughter, and elderly mother settle down.

“Alright. You guys be careful. Just walk around the area nearby. If there are people living here, there must be a water source.”

“I understand, Husband. Quickly lie down.”

After Madam Zhou helped Wang Lang lie down, she went up to Madam Sun and said, “Mother, even if you don’t want to look for water, don’t just sit here. If they see you, they’ll say that we didn’t do any work.”

Madam Sun was very angry and slapped Madam Zhou’s face when she turned around. “You’re not qualified to order me around.”

Madam Zhou felt quite aggrieved, but she did not dare to talk back. “Mother, that woman Su Ying is not to be trifled with. She will really drive us away. I beg you, for the sake of Husband, don’t argue with her anymore. I beg you.”

At the mention of Su Ying’s name, Madam Sun’s heart was filled with both hatred and fear. She could only grit her teeth and follow Madam Zhou to look for water.

However, Madam Sun was very reluctant to work. After she was away from everyone’s gazes, she found a place to laze around and let Madam Zhou look for water herself. Madam Zhou had no choice but to go and search on her own.

Madam Sun had been starving for the whole day. She sat down and fell asleep groggily. When she woke up, she saw a gorgeous figure in front of her.

“Aunt, what’s wrong with you? Do you feel unwell?” Mei Niang knelt down in front of Madam Sun and placed the lunch box in her hand on one side.

After Madam Sun woke up, she saw the lunch box and her eyes became wide open. “I… I’m injured and I’m extremely hungry. Miss, please show me some compassion and give me some food.”

Mei Niang smiled gently as she opened the lunch box and took out a plate of braised meat.

“It just so happens that I have some meat here. Aunt, if you don’t mind, you can eat it.”

Madam Sun’s eyes almost popped out when she saw this. She immediately grabbed the meat and began to gobble it down in big mouthfuls. After eating, she still looked at Mei Niang as if she hadn’t had enough.

“Aunt, do you want some more?”

Madam Sun nodded her head in a hurry. Mei Niang took out another plate of meat and a few pieces of silver. “In Tiger Base, you can’t do without silver. Aunt, take this silver and keep it for self-defense.”

Madam Sun didn’t realize Mei Niang would be so stupid. Not only did she give her food, but she also gave her money. She quickly thanked Mei Niang and put the silver away.

“I wonder if Aunt is acquainted with that young lady over there?”

Mei Niang stretched out her hand and pointed at a spot not far away.

Madam Sun followed her line of sight and saw Bai Shuang who was gathering firewood.

“I know her.”

“I… I liked that girl very much at first sight. I wonder if Aunt can invite her to come and visit me at my house. I live in the wooden building next to yours.”

Madam Sun looked at the wooden building behind Mei Niang and stood up without giving a second thought to what Mei Niang wanted to do.

“No problem.” She didn’t care why Mei Niang was looking for Bai Shuang. “But I’m afraid those few pieces of silver earlier will not last for long.”

The smile in Mei Niang’s eyes became even more flirtatious. She took out a money pouch from her body and said, “Are these enough?”

Madam Sun took the pouch and weighed it in her hand. It felt like there were at least fifty taels in it. “That’s enough, that’s enough. Who else do you like? I’ll get all of them to come to you.”

“I just like her. Just think of a way to get her to come to my wooden building.”

Madam Sun nodded happily. Such a small task could earn her dozens of taels. She would be a real fool if she didn’t do it.

“Wait a while. I’ll go now.”

“Don’t let her reject you, or I’ll take back the silver.”

As soon as Madam Sun heard this, she knew that Mei Niang was definitely up to no good when she wanted Bai Shuang to go to her, but that little slut’s life and death had nothing to do with her.

“I definitely won’t let her!”

As she watched Madam Sun’s back profile when she ran off excitedly, Mei Niang returned to the wooden building in satisfaction.

Bai Shuang had no idea that danger was approaching her.

“Bai Shuang, Bai Shuang, why are you still here? Just now, I heard from Aunt Zhao that the two children ran away to play and went missing. Everyone is looking for them.”

Bai Shuang was initially a little displeased when she saw that it was Madam Sun, but after hearing her words, she suddenly became anxious.

“What did you say? Young Master and the rest have disappeared? Where did they go?”

“I asked some people just now. They said that they saw two children running toward that wooden building. Let’s hurry over and take a look.”

Bai Shuang didn’t suspect anything, and after discarding the firewood, she followed Madam Sun and headed for the wooden building.

After Bai Shuang arrived outside the wooden building, she knocked on the door.

The wooden door opened very quickly. Mei Niang was standing at the door with a charming smile on her face. “What’s the matter?”

“Did you see two children coming this way?”

Mei Niang gave a soft laugh. “They are in my house right now and not willing to leave. Go in and see if they are the ones you’re looking for.”

Bai Shuang nodded and followed Mei Niang in.

Upon seeing that she had succeeded, Madam Sun quickly turned around and ran off.

The moment Bai Shuang entered the house, the wooden door behind her was closed with a bang.

She turned around in shock and her eyes met a pair of bloodthirsty eyes.

Meanwhile, Su Ying was looking for prey and useful things on the mountain. She first pressed the mechanism in her hand, then took out a small whistle the size of a pinky finger and started blowing on it.

After an unknown period of time, there was a sudden commotion in the forest.

Howl! Howl!

The pack of wolves, which had disappeared for a night, appeared in front of Su Ying in an extremely disoriented manner.

Su Ying switched off the mechanism, and the wolves flopped down on the ground.

Su Ying glanced at the blood-stained fur at the alpha wolf leader’s mouth and tapped its stomach with her foot. “Are you full?”

The alpha wolf leader whined and turned over to reveal its belly to Su Ying.

Su Ying’s face darkened, and she grabbed a big tuft of the wolf’s fur. “Get up and take me to look for some prey if you’re full.”

The alpha wolf leader howled in pain, rolled over, and got up. It resigned itself to being a hunting dog.

His dignity as a wolf was completely shattered to pieces!
