Chapter 1684 - 1679: Mrs. Jin Returns to the Old Mu Family

"What does she do, and what does that have to do with me?" Mrs. Jin said angrily.

"That wretched girl barged into the house and spewed a bunch of lies! Finally, she even claimed to know that I was keeping you outside, and that I let the driver give you a heads-up. That girl followed behind, brought her dad, and together they arrived outside our home!

That’s not all—she even went to the Fourth Family’s place and tattled to them, causing the Fourth Family to want to file a complaint against me with the County Magistrate!

Yinyin, who do you think that girl is? Do you really not know? Her mouth is full of lies; she clearly doesn’t know about our business, yet she insists she does, causing me to lose my footing and become the laughingstock of the Old Mu Family!

To avoid affecting Dan Dan and Yingying’s marriage prospects, how long have I endured? For such a long time, you couldn’t stay in the Old Mu Family; we could only live as a pair of star-crossed lovers outside!

We’ve already suffered so much, do we still have to believe one person’s words and fight among ourselves?"

Mu Dade’s mouth was full of lies, spoken as if they were true.

Mrs. Jin’s doubts in her heart had already begun to waver.

But it still wasn’t enough.

"Yinyin, I’ve come to blows with them! If the Fourth Family dares to file a complaint, I’ll make sure Mu Xiaxia never gets married in her lifetime!

If they dare to utter a single word of protest, I’ll kick them all out, even if it’s dad and mom—they’ll all be treated equally!

Yinyin, come back with me; we’re the family, those people are all nothing good!" Mu Dade said.

Upon hearing Mu Dade confront the Old Mu Family, Mrs. Jin began to find a little warmth in her heart.

Even her expression started to change.

Mu Dade noticed this and knew his words had worked.

He continued, "Yinyin, you are the only one I love in this lifetime! Only you’re genuine, everyone else is fake! Last time, you asked me to break it off with Ruan Xiao Jiao, I did it clean and thoroughly.

If you don’t believe me, I can swear!" Saying this, Mu Dade raised his hand.

"If I, Mu Dade, dare to deceive Jinyin’er, let me... let me be struck by heaven..."

Mu Dade didn’t finish his oath, as Mrs. Jin covered his mouth.

"I believe you, but... I just can’t swallow this! That girl has bullied me time and again, I’m tired of it! If things keep going this way, I fear I might break down!"

Mrs. Jin said.

Towards Mu Shuangshuang, she felt more hatred!

Towards the Old Mu Family, she felt more disgust!

"To deal with her, I’ll help you deal with her!" Mu Dade said.

"Deal with her? How?" Mrs. Jin asked.

"Have someone chop them to death, or set fire to burn them to death; as long as it removes the calamity, I’ll do anything!" Mu Dade said.

Upon hearing Mu Dade’s words, Mrs. Jin’s doubts grew smaller.

At this moment, Mu Dade grabbed Mrs. Jin’s hand.

"Come back with me!" Mu Dade looked at Mrs. Jin with deep affection.

"Go back? Go back where??" Mrs. Jin asked.

"Our home! You’re the master of the house, why let them lay a finger on our home? Why let them show off in our house?

Dan Dan is getting married this month; do you really want Dan Dan’s real mother to be absent at her wedding?" Mu Dade asked.

Speaking of her daughter’s marriage, it was a sore spot for Mrs. Jin.

She had only two daughters in her life, and if she didn’t care for them, pamper them, she wouldn’t be any good!

"Dan Dan’s marriage..."

"You go back and personally oversee this affair! No matter how much it costs, as long as you’re happy, as long as Dan Dan’s happy, that’s it!"

Mu Dade spoke generously.

Mrs. Jin looked at Mu Dade, her heart suddenly softened.

This man still seemed to care about her, about her children.

Was he still the kind of person that wretched girl talked about?

"Yinyin, from now on, you control the family finances! I’ve saved quite a bit of money at the dock, all of it’s meant as dowry for our two daughters!

We have no sons, our daughters are our sons! When they have kids later on, we’ll raise a grandson ourselves, treating him like a true grandson, shall we?"

Mu Dade started playing the emotional card.

Nobody knew Mrs. Jin better than he did.

This woman, although harsh, was exceptionally good to her two daughters!

All she wanted in life was for her daughters to marry into good families!

Talking about this, he was bound to succeed!

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jin’s heart completely softened.

Never mind, the man she chose herself; as long as it wasn’t too excessive, even if he fooled around with a few women, what’s the harm?

What’s outside stays outside!

As long as she’s around, they would never get through the main door!

"Da De, I want Dan Dan’s marriage to be grand, the jewelry to be the best! When they send her off, it should be at least with an eight-palankin procession!

Also, the accompanying shops and such shouldn’t fall short! As for the steward’s side, you’d better keep things clear—we’ve never let our precious endure hardships, she can’t be bullied!" Mrs. Jin said.

Hearing this, Mu Dade knew Mrs. Jin’s knot in her heart was gone.

He began to feel smug again.

He even thought women were the easiest to please in this world!

"Whatever you say is right! If the steward dares let his son bully Dan Dan, I won’t let them off!" Mu Dade said.

"Ha!" Mrs. Jin laughed.

"With your position as a dock steward, would the steward’s family dare bully Dan Dan?" Mrs. Jin laughed.

"Exactly! As long as my position is secure, Dan Dan won’t be bullied! Speaking of this matter, it reminds me of the Fourth Family; what if they really go to find the County Magistrate, what should I do?" Mu Dade feigned a frightened expression.

Mrs. Jin thought about it carefully.

After quite a while, she finally said, "It seems we can only marry off Mu Xiaxia! And the person she marries must be one of our people!"

"One of our people?" Mu Dade furrowed his brow, "Where do we have a young and able-bodied man to marry that girl?"

"Doesn’t the steward’s house have a family servant? That guy looks strong and is easy to control!

Our daughters are married there, asking them for a person isn’t much, right?" Mrs. Jin said.

"You mean that woodcutter, a bit hunchbacked, in his thirties or forties, who looks like a fool?" Mu Dade asked.

"Well, of course!"

"No way, that person’s conditions are too poor, Mu Xiaxia won’t agree!" Mu Dade said.

"What then? We must find someone to control the Fourth Family, or if they really go to the County Magistrate, we won’t be able to bear it!" Mrs. Jin said.

"Leave this matter to me to solve! If it doesn’t work, I’ll find a way to throw them in jail!

Adding a couple more in the prison, as long as no one thoroughly investigates it, no one will care when they came in or what they did!" Mu Dade said.

"Alright!" Mrs. Jin nodded.

"Pack up, bring anything valuable, and let’s go home!" Mu Dade said.

"Okay, wait for me for a moment!"

Mrs. Jin took all the valuable items.

Together, she returned with Mu Dade to the Old Mu Family.
