Chapter 281: Huo Yuan’s Plan First Update (1)_1
Cai Wei was deep in thought when, without warning, a figure suddenly emerged in front of her, startling her. The person also jumped at seeing her and blurted out, "Didn’t you leave yesterday? Why are you still here today?"
Cai Wei gave him a quick, cool glance and retorted, "I have a matter!"
While saying this, she didn’t pause and immediately left.
Seeing that Cai Wei had no desire to converse with him, Mu Chongcai spat out quietly, his resentment apparent as he went to seek company at another house.
Last night’s ’Rolling Earth Dragon’ had caused varying degrees of damage to every household in the Mu Family Village. A large crack had appeared in Mu Zhongli’s house, making it look very risky. However, their family didn’t cry and wail like the others in the village; they seemed to almost take pleasure in the disaster.
They were planning to move to the town anyway and enjoy a more privileged life there, so they didn’t care about their dilapidated home in this poor village anymore. The villagers who had sarcastically gossiped about their Cai Ping yesterday have suffered such a catastrophe today – they got what they deserved!
The four generations of the Mu family, meandering cheerfully through the village, took pleasant vengeance by watching the gloomy faces of the villagers, who looked as though they had lost their fathers.
"Mu Da, aren’t you a bit too idle? Aren’t you going to fix your house?" asked a villager, who was trying to smear mud on the cracks of his wall in an amiable manner.
"Hey, with the house shaking like this, what’s the point of fixing it? Even if it’s mended, it won’t be sturdy enough. What if one day it collapses with a thud while you’re dreaming, sending you directly to the Palace of Hell?" replied Mu Zhongli.
The villager who asked the question was at a loss for words, the mud spatula hesitating in his hands. Although Mu Da’s words were unpleasant, they were not unreasonable. With such a large crack in the house and the foundation surely damaged, he would indeed be insecure if he were to move back in after a brief repair.
