Chapter 1449 - 1444: Old Mrs. Mu Unrepentant
Confirmed that Mu Dade should have gone far, Mrs. Jin then pretended to have just woken up and rushed to Old Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu’s room.
At this moment, everyone was actually awake, but fewer dared to touch that bad luck, especially since Zhu Rongsan’s voice was so loud that it seemed the whole street could hear his angry roar.
Mrs. Lin always knows which way the wind blows.
In such a situation, where someone comes knocking on the door, she would never go out to join in the commotion.
So she held Gou Dan, took two lumps of cotton from her padded quilt, stuffed them into her own and her son Gou Dan’s ears, and continued to sleep blissfully.
Mu Xiaxia was already awake, she woke Xiao Chu and put away all the floor mats in the living room.
Mu Dajiang still looked sickly, but after taking the medicine Mu Xiaxia grabbed yesterday, he felt much better.
But he still wasn’t as healthy as a normal person, still afraid of the cold, still coughing.
However, he still forced himself to go to the living room, saw the two siblings were already up, and Mu Xiaxia began tidying up the house.
Mu Dajiang felt a pang of heartache seeing his daughter having to get up so early to help with so much work at home, while he’s so useless as a father.
"Xiaxia—" Mu Dajiang couldn’t help calling out Mu Xiaxia’s name.
As soon as Mu Xiaxia saw Mu Dajiang, a look of concern immediately appeared on her face, "Dad, why have you gotten up, why..."
She originally wanted to say sleep a while longer, but suddenly remembered her dad slept in the kitchen.
Lately, if she went to cook, her dad would wake up anyway.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaxia was even more determined to move out.
"Dad, I don’t know what’s going on outside, people are shouting and yelling, I’m too scared to go out and see!"
Mu Xiaxia said, lowering her head, not daring to look at Mu Dajiang.
Mu Dajiang was taken aback, looking at his remorseful daughter, he coughed twice, and waved his hand hurriedly, "No, you’re right, this matter, it’s better for men like me to go and take a look."
Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian have been missing for months, besides Old Mr. Mu and Mu Dade, Mu Dajiang is the only labor in the family.
This matter, it’s appropriate for him to go, both emotionally and rationally.
But Mu Xiaxia didn’t want her father to take the risk.
"Dad, you are sick, don’t go, I heard they’re calling grandma’s name, let grandma handle it herself!"
Mu Xiaxia said.
"Grandma’s name? Then I..."
"Dad, can’t you heal properly? You’re like this, what are you still wanting to do?" Mu Xiaxia’s voice was urgently sharp, not only that, she also reached out to grasp Mu Dajiang’s arm.
"Xiao Chu, hold Dad’s leg, don’t let Dad go out!"
Upon hearing Mu Xiaxia’s words, Mu Xiaochu promptly hugged Mu Dajiang’s thigh.
Mu Dajiang was already ill, and with one forceful tug from his daughter and son, he lost his strength.
On the other side, Mrs. Jin finally coaxed and threatened Old Mrs. Mu and got her out of her room.
Out came Old Mr. Mu as well.
Early morning, being shouted at by someone knocking, anyone would be unhappy.
Thus, Old Mrs. Mu followed Old Mr. Mu with an aggressive demeanor, saying she would teach a lesson to the one banging the door.
Mrs. Jin followed closely behind, although supporting Old Mrs. Mu with her words, in her heart thinking, when Old Mrs. Mu was taught a lesson, how to escape herself.
Zhu Rongsan almost shouted himself hoarse, and the people of Old Mu Family only slowly arrived.
The moment the door opened, Zhu Rongsan took a step and accurately grasped Old Mrs. Mu’s collar.
Zhu Rongsan was naturally tall and strong, and with one lift, Old Mrs. Mu was airborne.
Old Mr. Mu and Mrs. Jin hadn’t had time to react.
Suspended in the air, Old Mrs. Mu opened her mouth and started cursing, "Let go of me, you horse-faced ugly thing, who on earth are you? How dare you do this to me!"
Zhu Rongsan was already angry, hearing Old Mrs. Mu cursing him, he stretched out his hand vigorously, and Old Mrs. Mu fell heavily to the ground, her butt almost split in two.
"Oh dear, damn it, who in the world is doing this to me, old woman, ouch..."
Holding her butt, Old Mrs. Mu complained loudly.
"You still ask who I am? You old wretch, don’t you remember how you dumped your night soil at my house’s doorstep last night?"
Zhu Rongsan said furiously.
On the side, Old Mr. Mu, hearing this, was completely dumbfounded.
Yesterday night, the son said not to do such filthy things again, yet she went and done it again.
Old Mr. Mu glared fiercely at Old Mrs. Mu, and Old Mrs. Mu felt somewhat guilty.
She wanted to explain that yesterday she didn’t know it was someone else’s doorstep.
Not to mention, after dumping, the son came to say those things.
A married daughter is like spilled water, everyone knows it’s irreversible.
Surely, she couldn’t take back the bucket of filth after pouring it, could she?
"Old wretch, today I will make you know exactly how disgusting the things you did are!"
Zhu Rongsan prepared to grab Old Mrs. Mu again for a thorough lesson.
Just this time, Old Mr. Mu intervened: "Brother, this is our fault, we apologize on behalf of the whole family!
This wife of mine was born in the countryside, her knowledge is crude, plus she likes to take small advantages, she sometimes doesn’t even know it’s wrong.
This time, let her off, I’ll surely teach her properly back home, this kind of thing absolutely won’t happen again, do you think it’s alright?"
Old Mr. Mu lowered his voice, entirely in a begging manner.
But Old Mrs. Mu was a troublemaker, seeing Old Mr. Mu begging, she suddenly felt humiliated.
"Old man, why are you apologizing to this horse-faced ugly thing? Our son is a big official in the county, even if I did wrong, isn’t leniency expected? If he dares to teach me a lesson, I’ll get Dade to kill him!"
"Shut up!" Old Mr. Mu shouted loudly, "This wife knows nothing, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?"
On the side, Zhu Rongsan, hearing Old Mrs. Mu still cursing him, threatening to teach him a lesson with her son.
He didn’t care anymore.
"Alright, you’re the mother of a county official, right? Let’s see if your son has more power or our honest and upright county magistrate has more! Let’s go, we’ll meet the county magistrate!"
With that said, Zhu Rongsan grabbed Old Mrs. Mu from the ground again.
Mrs. Jin on the side panicked, meeting the county magistrate, she and her husband would surely be at a disadvantage.
"Wait a moment!" Mrs. Jin said.
Zhu Rongsan then noticed Mrs. Jin who came out with Old Mrs. Mu and Old Mr. Mu.
Even hurriedly out of bed, Mrs. Jin’s makeup was already tidied up, showing no sign of embarrassment.
"Mrs. Mu, this matter has nothing to do with you, you’d better go inside!"
Zhu Rongsan recognized Mrs. Jin; previously, when Mrs. Jin bought meat at his stand, Zhu Rongsan even gifted her with some.
Zhu Rongsan’s intention was never to offend Mu Dade and the current Mrs. Jin.
His purpose was only one, to make Old Mrs. Mu understand his power.
