From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 908 - 904: I’ll Call for Help (Third Update)
Huang Bita and Mu Dalang kept silent, neither willing to bring up the thorn in their hearts.
Especially Huang Bita, several times, the words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back, hoping Mu Dalang would figure it out himself.
"I’m going to wash clothes, you... you should sleep some more." Huang Bita got up and said to Mu Dalang.
"I won’t sleep anymore, I’ll go wash clothes with you."
Old Mu Family had many members, naturally, there were lots of clothes, making Huang Bita wash them all made Mu Dalang feel miserable inside.
Huang Bita said, "It’s okay, there aren’t many clothes today, you just rest."
Seeing Huang Bita insisting like this, Mu Dalang had no choice but to stay silent, but he still followed behind Huang Bita in actions.
As soon as Huang Bita reached the yard, he stepped forward and picked up the bucket.
"I’ll go fetch two buckets of water."
Mu Dalang finished speaking and left the yard, not giving Huang Bita a chance to refute.
Knowing her man cared about her, a warmth slowly enveloped Huang Bita’s chest, warming her whole body.
She sorted the family’s clothes, separating women’s clothes, men’s clothes, and some people’s undergarments.
When Huang Bita was at her own home, even her brothers’ underclothes were washed by themselves. She had never handled them.
But since coming to Old Mu Family, everything changed.
Not only did she have to help wash men’s shirts, even when women were in their monthly cycle, she’d clean the soiled clothes and pants.
However, Huang Bita dared not complain because it would certainly invite mockery and curses.
She put some soap into the clothes and was about to go to the kitchen to fetch water to soak the clothes, when Mu Danyan appeared.
First, he sneakily looked around seeing no one else, Mu Danyan slyly rubbed his hands, loosened his joints, and cleared his throat.
After softly coughing, Mu Danyan approached Huang Bita.
"Bita, oh, this little girl has grown more and more lovely. Dalang must be treating you well, right?" Mu Danyan said.
"Fifth... Fifth Uncle!" Mu Danyan’s sudden appearance startled Huang Bita, she didn’t even hear what Mu Danyan said at first.
"Fifth Uncle, why are you here?" Huang Bita stood up, retreated two steps, and asked Mu Danyan uneasily.
"I came to see you... you and Dalang, what’s the matter with that kid, with such a delicate wife, he doesn’t keep you at home to spoil you, instead he drags you out to work.
Don’t wash clothes anymore, it’s harmful for your hands, both icy and cold, I’ll talk to Mom later, let second sister-in-law wash them."
While speaking, Mu Danyan kept his eyes fixed on Huang Bita’s face.
This face was still as pretty as when she first came.
Mu Danyan was certain that the girl before him was still a virgin.
Plus, he kept a nightly watch outside Dalang’s door; if they had done anything, Mu Danyan would surely know.
Huang Bita shook her head, "No... no need, Fifth Uncle, if you have nothing else, I’ll go fetch water, you..."
Her intention was to get Mu Danyan to leave quickly, but she feared being too direct wasn’t good.
"Fetching water, huh, I’ll do it!" Mu Danyan snatched the wooden basin from Huang Bita’s hand, wiggling his way toward the kitchen.
For some reason, when Mu Dalang did the same thing, Huang Bita felt genuinely delighted, but when Mu Danyan did it, she only felt disgusted and scared.
Moreover, she wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but Huang Bita felt Mu Danyan deliberately touched her hand when taking the wooden basin...
The more she thought about it, the more frightened Huang Bita became. She wanted to go back to her room and wait for Mu Dalang to return before coming out to wash clothes. But she feared Old Mrs. Mu or Mrs. Lin would come out, see she wasn’t there, and come for her in the room.
While hesitating, Mu Danyan returned carrying the basin of water.
Looking at Huang Bita standing there, pleasing to his sight, Mu Danyan suddenly had an idea.
Approaching Huang Bita, Mu Danyan deliberately staggered, and the basin in his hand splashed towards her...
A basin of cold water poured over her head, leaving Huang Bita completely dazed.
"Oh dear, Bita, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Fifth Uncle didn’t mean to, I was tripped over something just now, I... I wasn’t deliberate, you’d better change your clothes quickly, you’ll be freezing." He shamelessly moved forward to help Huang Bita.
But before his hand could touch her, Huang Bita smacked it away.
"Fifth Uncle, what are you doing?"
Huang Bita wasn’t naive, such an obvious inappropriate move, Mu Danyan clearly had bad intentions.
"Bita, don’t be angry, Fifth Uncle is sorry, I’ll help you into the house to change clothes, quickly..."
While speaking with concern, Mu Danyan’s gaze was fixed on Huang Bita’s overly pretty face, refusing to blink.
"Fifth... Fifth Uncle, I can do it myself, you go... you go away!"
Huang Bita’s teeth chattered from the cold, but she continued to confront Mu Danyan, hoping he would retreat.
Unexpectedly, Mu Danyan stepped forward, reaching out to grab her!
"Bita, weather is so cold, come into Fifth Uncle’s arms, I’ll warm you up..."
Disgusting words made Huang Bita struggle fiercely.
She didn’t know where her strength came from, but she stomped on Mu Danyan’s foot, causing him to yelp in pain, and she quickly escaped from his embrace, running towards her room.
Inside the room, Huang Bita closed the door swiftly.
The subsequent Mu Danyan furiously knocked on the door.
"Open up... open up!"
Mu Danyan used to be cautious to avoid discovery, but now he was furious, wanting Huang Bita to pay the price.
"Go away, get out of here, you beast!" Huang Bita shouted.
"A beast? Filthy woman, don’t forget, you were supposed to be the one who proposed to me, I should have married you, you should be my wife. You think you’re proud for choosing Dalang who’s younger than yourself?
I’ll tell you, filthy woman, when you grow old, Dalang will still be young, sooner or later you’ll be abandoned, like a rag, thrown away!"
Huang Bita was slightly older, another thorn in her heart.
Women in Da Ning Dynasty usually found older men, several years older, but she and Dalang were the opposite. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Her age was greater than Dalang’s.
Huang Bita felt waves of discomfort, but thinking of the person outside, her heart was furious still.
"Get out, or I’ll cry for Mom and Grandma," Huang Bita said.
"Go ahead, cry out, I’ll just tell them it’s you who seduced me, causing discord between me and Dalang.
Then let my mom sell you, confined forever in the brothel, with no hope of a way out!"
With venomous words, Mu Danyan’s every sentence was like a knife stabbing into Huang Bita’s heart.
Rendering her heart bleeding profusely.
