Chapter 1555 - 1550: Quarrel in the Backyard (Twenty-One Updates)

"You’ve turned against me, even ignoring my words as an old man.

Never mind that your fourth household hasn’t separated yet, even if you had, if I tell you to go help in the kitchen, you must go. Now hurry up!" Mr. Mu shouted.

Mu Xiaxia was unwilling and did not stand up.

It was Mrs. Liu who compromised; she got up and pulled Mu Xiaxia’s sleeve, "Come on, daughter! Let’s go help in the kitchen!"

"Mom...!" Mu Xiaxia called out.

She wanted to say something but was stopped by Mrs. Liu’s look.

Not wanting to make things difficult for Mrs. Liu, Mu Xiaxia reluctantly nodded.

The mother and daughter went to the kitchen.

In the main room, for a moment, only Mr. Mu, Mu Dade, Mu Dazhong, Mu Danian, Mu Dajiang, and Gou Dan and Xiao Chu were left, a total of six people.

Gou Dan was beside them, cracking sunflower seeds, occasionally making "crunch, crunch" sounds.

Busy eating, he didn’t have time to pay attention to those people.

Xiao Chu played with his own fingers, completely uninterested in the Old Mu Family men’s meeting, nor could he understand it.

In the backyard kitchen—

Mrs. Lin was kneading dough, a large lump slowly taking shape in her hands.

Qin Xianglan was chopping meat on the board next to her.

The rhythmic sound of chopping meat went "bang, bang, bang."

Mrs. Lin occasionally exchanged a few words with Qin Xianglan, like asking her where she’s living now.

Or asking how much money she has saved up from making tofu for people.

Most of the time, Qin Xianglan ignored her, she didn’t even have to consider Mrs. Jin, let alone a Mrs. Lin.

Only when completely ignored, did Mrs. Lin’s anger flare up.

"Xianglan sister, what’s going on with you? Why don’t you ever answer me when I ask you something? Do you look down on me, Mrs. Lin, or my husband?"

Mrs. Lin was relentless.

Qin Xianglan, having exhausted her patience, replied sharply to Mrs. Lin, "Is it okay not to answer? Are you just idle to keep talking to me?"

"You... you... you shameless vixen! Don’t think that just because you’ve won favor from the old man and old lady, that you can act recklessly in the Old Mu Family!

You better understand that this is our Old Mu Family, and as a daughter-in-law here, I’m certainly better than you, an outsider."

Qin Xianglan glanced at Mrs. Lin and said, "Then go outside and ask the old man, see if he listens to your words or mine!"

The tone in Qin Xianglan’s words carried a hint of mockery.

Mrs. Lin noticed this, and she put down the dough she was kneading.

With her hands on her hips, she looked ready to argue with Qin Xianglan!

"Little whore, you think I don’t know about the things you did before?

You slept with that human trafficker for two years, right? A whore like you should be dead already; alive, you’re just wasting food!"

Mrs. Lin spoke without restraint.

What she said was exactly what Qin Xianglan hated to hear.

Her hand holding the knife paused, then she chopped heavily on the board, retorting to Mrs. Lin, "Say another word, and see if I don’t tear your mouth apart!"

"I said it, I just said it! What can you do to me? Little whore, lowly person, shameless thing, freeloading in our Old Mu Family! If I were you, I’d bash my head against a wall, shameless and skinless thing."

Qin Xianglan threw down the knife, stepped forward, and slapped Mrs. Lin hard across the face!

"Smack," it echoed.

The force of the slap was huge!

Outside the door, just about to enter, Mu Xiaxia and Liu Du heard it.

The two pushed the door open, staring blankly at Qin Xianglan.

Seeing Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Lin immediately said, "Fourth sister-in-law, you come at just the right time to help me teach this whore a lesson! She dares to curse at me and even dares to hit me."

As she spoke, she showed her face to Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu wasn’t Mrs. Lin’s dog, naturally she wouldn’t listen to Mrs. Lin and go teach Qin Xianglan a lesson.

Seeing Mrs. Liu hesitate to act, Mrs. Lin got angry and shouted.

"Damn it, I’ll fight it out with you, shameless woman!"

She said this and lunged at Qin Xianglan, but Qin Xianglan dodged her with a quick step.

Then she yelled, "Help! Help! Murder! Murder!"

Just after she shouted, Mu Dade and Mu Danian, who were chatting in the main room, stood up abruptly and rushed out of the room straight to the kitchen.

Mu Dade naturally was concerned about the baby in Qin Xianglan’s belly.

As for Mu Danian, he cared about Qin Xianglan herself.

After all, this woman would be his future wife; what kind of man stands by when his wife is beaten?

Mu Danian yelled loudly, "Second sister-in-law, what exactly are you doing?"

"I... Danian, you’re here just in time; she hit me! You have to stand up for me!" Mrs. Lin spoke pitifully.

"What kind of joke is second sister-in-law telling? You’re so robust, and Xianglan sister is so skinny, how could she hit you?" Mu Danian rolled his eyes.

"Second sister-in-law, Xianglan is a guest after all, don’t cause trouble for her for no reason; if word gets out, how would people think of our Old Mu Family?" Mu Dade also admonished Mrs. Lin.

"You... you all...!" Mrs. Lin glared at Mu Danian and Mu Dade.

"You two have been enchanted by this vixen! I’m going to find father and ask him to uphold justice!" Mrs. Lin shouted.

"Go, go find father! Let him know how you’re bullying people!" Mu Danian snorted.

Continuing, he said, "Xianglan, don’t work here anymore; as a guest, your responsibility is to eat well!"

"Okay!" Qin Xianglan said softly.

Mu Danian led Qin Xianglan out, which meant the work was left to Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Liu, and Mu Xiaxia.

Mrs. Lin was still furious and happened to remember the fact that Mrs. Liu didn’t help her earlier.

She said irritably, "Fourth sister-in-law, I’m leaving all these tasks to you! I’m going to rest, I’m so angry!"

Mu Xiaxia blocked Mrs. Lin’s path.

"Second aunt, leaving all this work to my mom and me, isn’t that wrong?"

"What are you doing? Dead girl, even your parents don’t dare discipline me!" Mrs. Lin made a move to push Mu Xiaxia.

Her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and when she turned around, she saw Mrs. Liu holding her.

"You stay, otherwise we’ll leave immediately, and you’ll have to do all the work by yourself!"

Mrs. Liu finally showed some backbone.

Mrs. Lin’s face turned pale and then flushed!

Wanting to argue but afraid Mrs. Liu might really leave.

If that happened, she would have to do all the work alone!

Mrs. Lin took a breath and said, "I’ll stay then, but you all better work quickly!"

"As long as second aunt doesn’t slack off, we’ll naturally do the work!" Mu Xiaxia said.

"Crazy, crazy, truly crazy..."

Mrs. Lin felt like she was dreaming, otherwise why would the fourth household be arguing with her.

The fourth household...

Good heavens, the woman from the fourth household is actually wearing new clothes!!!!

Mrs. Lin stared blankly at the fur coat on Mrs. Liu; this thing was much more expensive than a cotton coat; how could they afford it?
