Mr. Mu didn’t have money at hand and didn’t want to ask his son for money on the first day his son returned.

He could only turn his plans to Mu Dalang.

Mr. Mu had a reason for finding Mu Dalang. After the pig farm was established, Mu Dalang followed a pig butcher from a distant village to learn the art of pig slaughtering.

During this period, he also started buying pigs from outside to slaughter. The meat from the slaughtered pigs was either sold in the village or taken to the town early in the morning to be sold.

In short, people in the village have already bought pork from Mu Dalang’s place. The price is fair, and the weight is accurate, much better than the butcher Wang Erma!

Mr. Mu personally visited Mu Dalang’s pig farm and first took a look outside—

On a piece of open land, there are dozens of wooden houses covered. The sound of pigs and the smell of pig manure can be heard and smelled nearby...

The scale of the pig farm is quite large, and it should be able to raise dozens to hundreds of pigs.

If this business succeeds, it is estimated that Dalang’s family could also earn money!

Looking at the house Mu Dalang lives in now, even though it hasn’t been renovated, it is better than those old houses of the Old Mu Family.

The more Mr. Mu looked, the more he liked it. If not for the wall blocking, he would want to see how the fat pigs inside were being raised.

Mr. Mu watched outside for a while, and Huang Bita noticed him.

Huang Bita quickly came out to greet Mr. Mu, "Grandfather, why are you here? Quick, quick, come inside and sit!"

Mr. Mu’s gaze fell on Huang Bita. He hasn’t seen her for a few months, and Huang Bita has put on some weight, her face looking quite rosy.

"Dalang’s wife, do you have any news from your belly?"

Huang Bita has been married into the Old Mu Family for most of the year now. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Although the family has split, in the old man’s heart, Mu Dalang is still part of the Old Mu Family.

Huang Bita blushed and shook her head, "No... Grandfather, I’ll go call Mu Dalang. He’s busy in the pig pen."

After speaking, she didn’t give Mr. Mu a chance to stop her, and she quickly went from the backyard to the pig farm.

Hurriedly entering the pig pen, Huang Bita, with a pale face, said to Mu Dalang, "Dalang... Grandfather is here!"

Mu Dalang promptly jumped out of the pig pen.

"He’s here, so he’s here. What’s wrong with you? Are you scared?" Mu Dalang looked at Huang Bita with full concern.

Instead, there was no need for Mr. Mu to worry much!

"No, he just asked me if there’s news from my belly... Dalang, we’ve been married for more than half a year. Am I... am I unable to have children?"

As a couple, they often did the things needed to make a baby.

It can be said that as long as it was dark and there was nothing to do, the two would shamelessly try to make a baby.

But somehow, things didn’t go as planned. After half a year, there was still no sign of a baby.

In the Da Ning Dynasty, if a woman doesn’t have children, she will be talked about behind her back.

Huang Bita was very afraid that if she couldn’t have children, she might be forced to separate from Dalang...

Thinking about these things made Huang Bita feel powerless all over her body and her heart very tired!

"Nonsense, you’re so healthy, how could you not have children? Besides, we’re still young, no hurry to have children.

You see, our life is getting better and better. If we have a child next year, we might have saved enough money to buy whatever we want for the child. That’s better than having nothing now!"

Huang Bita felt somewhat better at heart.

But thinking about Mr. Mu outside made her expression look bad again.

After being a couple for so long, Mu Dalang naturally understood his wife’s feelings.

"Alright, it’s okay. I’ll explain to Grandpa myself! Besides, we’ve split the family, as Shuangshuang said, apart from us who dares to manage our family matters?"

After the family split, Mu Dalang’s confidence has been increasing day by day.

Otherwise, he also wouldn’t have done the things that don’t involve the Old Mu Family!

"Mmm! We should head out quickly, don’t keep Grandpa waiting too long..."

...

In the front yard, Mr. Mu, without waiting for Mu Dalang, casually inspected everything at Mu Dalang’s house.

In the yard, a group of chicks is free-range, and the chicks already look quite large.

Some have already grown thick feathers, it seems they have been raised for a long time.

Some dried feed is being sun-dried in the yard, it should be for the pigs.

Mr. Mu looked at everything one by one, just as Mu Dalang came out.

Mu Dalang had also changed, like Huang Bita, had put on weight, his body stronger than before.

Slaughtering and selling pigs daily naturally leaves behind good things.

Plus, Mu Shuangshuang taught Huang Bita how to handle the pig intestines, so even the smelliest pig intestines they can cook up turn out to be something quite delicious.

"Grandfather, sit inside, I’ll have Bita pour tea for you!"

Mu Dalang led Mr. Mu to the hall in the backyard.

After seating Mr. Mu, Huang Bita was pouring the tea, so at this moment, it’s just Mr. Mu and Mu Dalang.

For Mr. Mu, it was the best opportunity!

"Grandfather, why have you come today?" Mu Dalang politely looked at Mr. Mu.

Mr. Mu smiled, "Dalang, your uncle has returned!"

"Really?" Mu Dalang’s eyes lit up, and he was immediately excited.

"Yes, your uncle has decided to be an official in the county! Besides... your uncle didn’t become the Champion Scholar!"

When mentioning not becoming the Champion Scholar, Mr. Mu didn’t feel very sad.

Perhaps he was overly sad at the Jin Family nowadays!

Thinking back on it, it also seemed like it was past news!

Mu Dalang listened to Mr. Mu’s words and felt happy for Mu Dade.

Finally, the Old Mu Family had an official.

But he didn’t regret it; his life was quite comfortable now!

"Grandfather, did you come just to tell me this news?" Mu Dalang was somewhat uncertain.

For such a long time, Mr. Mu never came over, suddenly coming this time, there should be something, right!

"Yes! Our village is without a butcher, and now you butcher pigs and sell them. I came to see if you have any meat to buy; I’m hosting the villagers tonight!"

Mu Dalang didn’t even think and nodded. "I do, I’ll have Bita wrap it in oil cloth and put it in the water well. How much do you need, Grandfather?"

"You cut me five pounds of meat, there’re many people, and I don’t know if it’s enough!" Mr. Mu said.

"If it’s not enough, I can get more. How about ten pounds? I’ll give you everything from the well?"

Mr. Mu immediately nodded.

Ten pounds of meat should certainly be enough.

"Alright, I’ll get the meat!"

Mu Dalang took the bucket and went to the backyard to hoist the meat up.

It’s hot in the summer, without cooling it in the well water, the meat quickly goes bad.

Returning with the meat, Mu Dalang was quite pleased, thinking he could make a sale today.

Before he could talk about offering Mr. Mu a discount, he heard Mr. Mu say, "Dalang, I’ll take the meat first; as for the money for buying meat, I’ll ask your uncle for it in a few days!"

Mr. Mu’s tone wasn’t asking, more like a command.

Mu Dalang was suddenly dumbfounded...
