From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1059 - 1055: A Whole Suckling Pig (Third Update)
Another suckling pig was sent to the room of Mu Xiangxiang and Sun Dali.
Originally meant as a good omen, but as soon as Matchmaker Sun left, Mu Xiangxiang lifted her veil herself.
She hadn’t eaten much all day, and Mu Xiangxiang was already starving. Now with a roast suckling pig in front of her, she felt she could finish it.
There were no stools in the room, so Mu Xiangxiang hugged the pig and sat on the edge of the bed.
After a feast of gulping down the food, the suckling pig dwindled.
The pig had very few bones, and they were tender. With her good teeth, Mu Xiangxiang gnawed them all to pieces.
When Sun Dali sent off the guests and was ready to consummate the marriage with Mu Xiangxiang, he was dumbfounded!
On the bed lay a woman in a wedding dress, her face painted to be unrecognizable, and her abdomen, which should have been flat, was now bulging like a pregnant woman in May.
"What’s wrong with you?" Sun Dali panicked.
Mu Xiangxiang had eaten too much and found it difficult to get up.
"Nothing!" she replied.
"Then let’s drink the nuptial cup wine. My mom said we should drink it, and later we’ll consummate the marriage. I’ve even prepared the white handkerchief!"
As Sun Dali said this, his face turned red.
He had always admired Mu Xiangxiang; she was pretty and slim. Although she ate a lot, it didn’t affect the good impression she left in his heart.
"By the way, why haven’t I seen the suckling pig, the suckling pig?"
After grabbing the nuptial cups, Sun Dali suddenly realized the pig that should have been on the cutting board was missing.
Just as he was wondering if his parents took it, Mu Xiangxiang spoke up.
"I ate it!" Mu Xiangxiang said.
"What? You ate that big suckling pig by yourself?" Sun Dali exclaimed.
This immediately angered Mu Xiangxiang: "Why are you making a fuss? It’s just a suckling pig! What’s the big deal? You can’t bear to part with it?"
Sun Dali’s face turned a bit sour.
He said, "Regardless, why did you eat it all by yourself? My parents haven’t even tasted it!"
"That pig must have weighed dozens of pounds; no wonder you’re so bloated..." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
It was the first time Sun Dali confronted Mu Xiangxiang about her eating habits.
With each meeting, Mu Xiangxiang’s appetite seemed bigger. This time, a whole suckling pig was devoured by her; after all, it was meant for the whole village, even if each person ate just a bit.
"Oh, come on! It’s just a pig! I ate it, so what? Do you expect me to compensate for it?"
Mu Xiangxiang was too full and her stomach was uncomfortable.
She spoke without patience.
"Xiangxiang, that’s not what I meant. I meant that you should at least leave some for the parents. I don’t mind!"
As a man, his wife should come first!
Sun Dali’s attitude was very good, but it didn’t win any sympathy from Mu Xiangxiang.
"If the parents want to eat, they can get some themselves. I’m not responsible!"
After being shut down multiple times by Mu Xiangxiang’s words, Sun Dali stopped speaking.
It seemed the nuptial wine wouldn’t be consumed; he pulled out the white handkerchief his mom gave him and laid it on the bed.
He said to Mu Xiangxiang, "Xiangxiang, let’s consummate the marriage..."
With that, Sun Dali lunged forward, but before he could kiss Mu Xiangxiang, she let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Outside, Sun Dali’s parents, who were eavesdropping, smiled with satisfaction.
"Looks like our son knows how to consummate the marriage, no need for us to intervene!" Sun Dali’s mother said.
Sun Dali’s father nodded with a grin.
"This way, we’ll soon have grandchildren to embrace!"
After the old couple left, the bridal chamber descended into chaos.
Sun Dali’s pressure had landed on Mu Xiangxiang’s full belly, and the pig she had just eaten came right back up.
She vomited all over Sun Dali, filling the room with a stench that nearly choked Sun Dali.
...
The Old Mu Family returned home cheerfully.
The first thing Old Mrs. Mu did was check if the leftovers from lunch were properly stored in the kitchen.
As soon as the kitchen door opened, Old Mrs. Mu was startled.
The remaining dishes from lunch, the chicken and braised pork were gone, and the kitchen was a mess.
The dirty floor was covered with all sorts of bones.
"Oh my goodness! Someone come quickly, who in the world has stolen from our Old Mu Family!"
Old Mrs. Mu shouted.
Her shouting alarmed the other members of the Old Mu Family.
But no one went to check because the woman sitting in the main house left everyone dumbfounded.
It was a filthy woman, indistinguishable as a person, covered in blackened grime.
She likely hadn’t bathed in days, with not a clean spot on her face.
Seeing the Old Mu Family, the woman began to sob.
"Father, I’m Zhenzhen... I’m back!"
Mu Zhenzhen’s shout was like a thunderclap, leaving everyone completely stunned.
Mu Zhenzhen ran towards them, and the startled family members kept stepping back.
"Father, Second Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, it’s me!" Mu Zhenzhen continued.
Mu Danian was the first to speak: "Zhenzhen, what happened to you?"
It would have been better not to ask; as soon as he did, Mu Zhenzhen began to cry.
She said, "You wouldn’t know how tough it’s been. I’ve been starving out there and nearly got sold to a brothel!
Every day if I wasn’t working, I was getting beaten. Look, my hands are covered with calluses!"
Like Mu Xiangxiang, Mu Zhenzhen had never worked a day in her life.
When she first married into Zhuangzi’s family, Zhuangzi treated Mu Zhenzhen like a treasure, not allowing her to do any work.
So her hands were well kept, but now, although they were dirty, they were as rough as old tree bark.
Once, Mu Zhenzhen recklessly followed an older man from town seeking a better life.
At first, she did experience better days, but the man had a family, and could no longer tolerate Mu Zhenzhen’s bad temper and spoiled nature.
Over time, he grew weary of Mu Zhenzhen.
He sold Mu Zhenzhen to another man.
Despite this, Mu Zhenzhen was attractive, and having her at home was not bad.
However, the second man’s wife was a termagant, always beating Mu Zhenzhen.
All sorts of hard and heavy work were given to Mu Zhenzhen; if she didn’t do it, she wouldn’t get any food.
Mu Zhenzhen endured it all, until recently, when she heard that the termagant was going to sell her. That’s when she planned her escape.
She didn’t intend to return home, but in town, she heard that Mu Dade had passed the scholar examination.
That’s why she came back.
"Old man, Second Brother, are you deaf? I’ve been shouting in the kitchen for so long. Why haven’t you gone to take a look?"
Old Mrs. Mu suddenly appeared, yelling at the people in the main house.
After yelling, she noticed a filthy woman in their living room. Just as she was about to scold her, the woman pitifully said, "Mom, I’m Zhenzhen..."
Old Mrs. Mu skeptically looked at the person before her.
She looked for a long time, but couldn’t see any resemblance to Mu Zhenzhen.
Except for the fact that the voice was somewhat similar!
"Mom, I really am Zhenzhen, your beloved Zhenzhen..." Mu Zhenzhen shouted again!
