Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Descending the Mountain 2

Tai Ge was discussing with Niu Wa and Er Lvzi next door about helping the three of them down the mountain. Seeing Mangzi incessantly mistreating the mute girl, Tai Ge walked up to Mangzi’s door with a gloomy face, looking at the mute girl gasping for breath on the ground, he impatiently reminded, "That’s enough." _{𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮}

At his words, Mangzi finally dropped the stick in his hand and came out of the house. Seeing the mute girl lying on the ground and in the way, he kicked her aside, completely indifferent to whether she lived or died.

Tai Ge said to Mangzi, "Let’s go, and help them down the mountain."

Mangzi glanced at the next house and said reluctantly, "Are we leaving now?"

He had been a little afraid when he first planned to make a big move. But now that he had to give up, he felt reluctant to do so. So he vented all his anger on the mute girl. He might indeed have some jerk traits in his bones.

Tai Ge gave him a glance, nodded and said, "The people looking for them should be halfway up the mountain now. They will find this place soon. We are living pretty well now, there’s no need to take risks. These three are not ordinary people, and we weren’t prepared in advance. It would be too rushed to act now."

Niu Wa and Er Lvzi also came out of the house at this time. Seeing this, Tai Ge whispered, "It’s fine. I’ve thought it over carefully. They are just lucky this time. For the time being, let’s rest and prepare a little. If you really want to make big money, I do have another idea."

Seeing the three of them looking at him, Tai Ge said three words, "Breeding Farm."

Upon hearing this, all three’s eyes brightened instantly. They directly followed Tai Ge to the room where Tong Yao was staying and saw Tai Ge’s wife still chatting with Tong Yao and others.

Tai Ge chuckled and said, "Originally, we thought to let you rest and have something to eat here, but there isn’t much good food in the mountain. Now that the weather is clear, shall we take you down the mountain? We can also help you push your car out of the mud pit."

Tong Yao and Hu Haiyun immediately expressed their gratitude, Cheng Feng remained silent. As everyone was about to leave, Tai Ge suddenly gave Cheng Feng a look and said, "Mr. Cheng doesn’t look well."

Everyone’s attention shifted to Cheng Feng, and the atmosphere suddenly became bizarre. Cheng Feng didn’t know the motive behind Tai Ge’s sudden concern for him. However, being a clever man, he quickly explained, "I was startled by the mute girl and haven’t recovered yet."

"Is that so!"

Tai Ge gave Cheng Feng another look, nodded, and didn’t say anything more.

Tong Yao and Hu Haiyun were on pins and needles. Tai Ge said he would take them down the mountain, but until they were safely at the foot of the mountain, they couldn’t be sure if Tai Ge genuinely wanted to take them down the mountain.

Just as they were about to head down the mountain, Tai Ge’s wife suddenly called out from behind. They turned around to see that the mute girl had crawled to the door. There was a begging look in her eyes, and she reached out in their direction as if asking for help. But just as she crawled out a little, Tai Ge’s wife dragged her back into the house.

Tong Yao noticed Tai Ge’s gaze on her. She looked away indifferently and said coldly, "Mad people are really terrifying. Tai Ge, I think you should find a new wife for your brother. Even if it costs more dowry, you see, if she gets pregnant, who knows whether her children will inherit her issues."

Hu Haiyun nodded and said, "If she’s naturally dumb and mentally ill, she might pass it on."

Cheng Feng glanced at the two and seemed to understand their intentions. He added, "Mental diseases are indeed likely to be inherited in medicine. That mad woman is too scary. My chest still feels stuffy from the fright."

Upon hearing the three of them speak in such a way, Tai Ge appeared relaxed and chuckled, "It can’t be helped, we are poor. My other two brothers don’t even have wives yet."

Then, he continued, "Let’s get down the mountain fast! Do not delay any longer, maybe your family members have already reached the foot of the mountain."

With Mangzi leading the way, they began to move downward. Made sure this path was indeed the one they came by, Tong Yao heaved a sigh of relief. For now, it seemed that Tai Ge was indeed intending to send them down the mountain.

After walking for a while, each keeping their thoughts to themselves, Hu Haiyun suddenly exclaimed, "Yaoyao, isn’t that your Uncle Tong over there?"

At his words, Tong Yao and Cheng Feng looked in the direction Hu Haiyun pointed and saw two figures climbing the mountain on a path below theirs. It was indeed Tong Yaohui and Jian Jun.

Tong Yao’s heart leapt for joy, and she shouted, "Dad."

Hearing the sound, Tong Yaohui also noticed them and immediately walked in their direction. They also quickened their pace down the mountain.

After meeting up, Tong Yaohui saw that his daughter was okay and breathed a sigh of relief. He also began to observe Tai Ge and his group while asking, "Yaoyao, what are you doing on the mountain? You’re not hurt, are you?"

He knew what kind of person his daughter was. She wouldn’t just run up the mountain for no reason, especially while pregnant.

The men around his daughter made Tong Yaohui cautious. Having lived many years, he had some experience judging people. These men didn’t have honest eyes, seemed like they were no good.

Tong Yao gave Tong Yaohui a knowing glance and then laughingly introduced him, "Dad, let me introduce you. This is Tai Ge. He saw us trapped in the car and invited us up the mountain to take refuge from the rain."

Tong Yaohui got a rough idea of the situation, but still politely thanked Tai Ge, "Thank you so much. We really owe you for your help."

Tai Ge returned a bunch of courtesies, then proposed that he escort them down the mountain and help push the car from the mud pit. Seeing Tai Ge’s persistent attitude, Tong Yaohui didn’t refuse.

The group walked down the mountain chatting. When Tai Ge heard that Tong Yaohui had called the police, Mangzi and Niu Wa seemed a little nervous. Niu Wa even yelled at Tong Yaohui, thinking that he shouldn’t have contacted the authorities.

"Why did you call the police? Aren’t we taking them down the mountain?"

The atmosphere immediately turned awkward. Jian Jun became alert. Although young, he had some life experience and could sense that Tai Ge was not a good person. Subconsciously, he moved a little closer to Tong Yao, thinking that he needed to protect her if something were to happen.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Tai Ge glared at Niu Wa and then chuckled, explaining, "What Niu Wa meant was that such a small matter as a car stuck in the mud pit during rainfall doesn’t warrant calling the police. However, you, realizing that your children are missing, calling the police is indeed normal."

At this point, Niu Wa also realized that he had overreacted. After being glared at by Tai Ge, he lowered his head and didn’t dare to speak.

Tong Yaohui laughed and nodded, "It’s okay. He’s right. I was indeed exaggerating a trivial matter. I was mainly worried about wild animals on the mountain. There was a rumor about a tiger sighting in the area. As parents, we tend to worry a lot."
