Chapter 136 Grievance
Since they were planning to go to Wu Yong's restaurant for dinner, Xu Shu went to pick up Qi Huairen and Qu Xiu first, and also packed up Mu Jinghua's things.
Although he had not lived in Huimin Hall for a long time, he could not just throw things away. However, Mu Jinghua suddenly became shy and pushed Xu Shu away, not allowing him to enter the house.
The little guy now has his own secrets. Xu Shu sighed and ran to help move things.
Mu Jinghua was packing things in the room alone. In fact, there was nothing secret. They were just some trivial items. He was just embarrassed to let Xu Shu see them.
The paper used for practicing writing big characters became named Xu Shu as he wrote on it, and he wrote pile after pile of it.
There were also medical books that his master asked him to read. Whenever he saw anything about childbirth and pregnancy, he would think of what Mrs. Wang had said when they were in Yichun Tower.
He thought of all kinds of things, front and side views, big and small, long and short, and finally it was all Xu Shu's figure. Sometimes he couldn't control his emotions, so he didn't suppress them.
Mu Jinghua's face turned red at the thought, so he simply stopped reading and stuffed all those messy books into the box and sealed it.
Xu Shu saw him packing in the house for such a long time, and finally moved out a box. He couldn't help but wonder: "It's just such a small thing, why does it take so long to pack?"
Mu Jinghua nodded, but didn't intend to explain.
Xu Shu didn't ask any more questions. He took everyone to have dinner and then returned to Shiqiao Village.
The next day he went to find Jiang Xiao to explain the matter of the pottery kiln and told him to prepare to fire the first batch. He then went to find Li Ziguang, boasted about it, and asked him to go to the gambling house to investigate the market.
After that, he took Mu Jinghua to Mu Yi Building.
Mu Jinghua was learning cooking skills from the chef in the building, while Xu Shu looked at the stores under his management and watched Wu Yong playing mahjong. Occasionally, he would take some time off and go to have tea with Xiao Ran.
About three days passed like this, and suddenly one afternoon, Du Wan came to him with a pale face, saying that someone had died in Muyi Building.
Xu Shu couldn't help but frown: "How did he die? Who was it?"
Du Wanbai gave the name with a pale face, and someone immediately responded unconvincedly: "Xiao Cui is no longer a member of our building. She was kicked out of the building the day she colluded with Master Xu."
"That's right," someone else began to echo, "If you want to climb the social ladder and not do your job properly, you deserve to die."
Xu Shu looked at the person who answered the question. It turned out to be Limaoer and Caidie. He couldn't help but frowned: "Do you have a grudge against her?"
The raccoon cat pouted and didn't respond.
Caidie pushed him and said, "What's your attitude?"
The civet cat said aggrievedly: "I am angry on behalf of Mu Ge'er!"
Xu Shu was even more confused. What did this have to do with Xiao Mujin?
Du Wanbai panicked and interrupted Li Maoer hastily, telling him not to talk nonsense.
Xu Shu was puzzled: "Why did you stop him? Tell me, Civet Cat, what does this have to do with Little Mu Jin?"
Caidie glared at Du Wanbai and answered for the civet cat: "Master Xu, you don't usually stay in the building, so you don't know that Xiaocui is actually a bad person."
"She saw that you liked Mu Ge'er, so she kept thinking about becoming the second Mu Ge'er. At that time, she even misunderstood that Brother Wanbai had a close relationship with you. She spoke in a sarcastic tone, hinting that Brother Wanbai should sell his body to you."
"Later, when Mu Ge'er came, she turned her spearhead against him, forming cliques and factions, and told everyone to ignore Mu Ge'er."
"But Mu Ge'er has a good temper and is very capable. The chef likes him the most and always praises him for being smart. She got so angry that she told everyone that Mu Ge'er is a piece of shit."
The raccoon cat echoed: "That's right, I've seen Mu Ge'er hiding in a corner and wiping his tears many times."
Xu Shu frowned and looked at Du Wanbai: "Do you know about this?"
Du Wanbai's face turned pale. He shook his head and nodded again: "I don't know much. I only heard Xiao Cui say some bad things about Mu Ge'er. But I think..."
"Okay." Xu Shu interrupted him, "No need to say more."
He looked at Caidie: "You continue."
Caidie uttered an "oh" and glanced at Du Wanbai before continuing, "Later, we heard that Xiao Cui was kicked out of Muyi Building by you, Master Xu. When we asked her why, she said that it was Brother Mu who spoke ill of her in front of you."
"Brother Mu has always been quiet and doesn't like to explain. Everyone doesn't understand the situation and has been speaking coldly to him these past few days."
"I live in the same room with Li Mao'er, and I've mentioned it occasionally. I always feel sorry for Mu Ge'er," Cai Die glanced at Du Wanbai again, "and today Xiao Cui was mentioned again. Fortunately, you were here too, so we..."
Xu Shu hummed, his expression turned cold, but he still looked at Du Wanbai: "How did Xiao Cui die?"
"I heard from the beggars on the street that he was... beaten to death." Du Wanbai answered softly.
"Go report to the police. I have no reason to intervene if they are not from Muyilou." Xu Shu said coldly, "As for you, Du Wanbai, I don't know what role you played in this matter, but I will give you a chance to reform."
He looked at everyone and said, "I don't want to hear these messy rumors anymore. Those who still want to climb up the tree and become a phoenix should first consider whether they can survive without Muyi Building."
"I gave you the opportunity to work, paid you, provided you with food and lodging, all out of kindness, but in troubled times, kindness...is not something you have."
After Xu Shu finished speaking, he turned around and went to the kitchen to find Mu Jinghua, then grabbed him and walked out.
Mu Jinghua struggled symbolically for a while, then stopped moving and followed Xu Shu out obediently.
Xu Shu took him to the backyard of Muyi Building, entered the woodshed, closed the door, and then asked: "Brother Mu, do you remember what I said to you at that time?"
Mu Jinghua blinked in confusion.
Xu Shu was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He hugged him and kissed him hard before saying, "If you are wronged here, remember to tell me. Did I tell you this? But what about you?"
"What are you doing?"
Mu Jinghua's eyes were red, and she hugged Xu Shu back, tears starting to fall. However, she refused to say a word, and just curled up in his arms and cried aggrievedly.
Xu Shu's heart was broken, and he felt that he was so stupid. He should have thought of it earlier. With Mu Jinghua's personality, how could he tell him if he was wronged?
He has always been slow when it comes to love affairs, which made Mu Jinghua look down on him for several days in a row, but he had nothing to do every day and went to Xiao Ran for tea.
Xu Shu was so angry that his teeth itched, but he could do nothing about it. In the end, he could only sigh and coax him: "Go home and rest for a few days. Wait until Du Wanbai cleans up the Muyi Building, then come back."
Mu Jinghua shook his head after hearing this, very reluctantly.
Xu Shu thought for a moment and said, "You want to learn how to cook. I'll ask the chef to come to your house to teach you, okay? What's the point of staying in Muyi Building?"
Mu Jinghua just shook her head and cried even harder.
Xu Shu was confused and wiped his tears in panic, feeling extremely helpless: "Then tell me, whatever you want, I will do whatever you want."
Mu Jinghua was silent for a long time, then hugged Xu Shu again and gestured: "Stay here."
"Muyi Building, mine."
