Chapter 1686 - 1681: Mu Dashan Refuses to Let Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu Enter the Residence

"We’ll live with Shuangshuang’s family, not to mention, we won’t have to worry about food and clothes, right? The third and Si Niang are both easy-going people; if we go, we won’t have to live like dogs with our tails between our legs.

If the third decides to return, we can also go with them to the countryside, meet the villagers. Isn’t that nice?"

Mr. Mu tried to persuade Old Mrs. Mu.

"I don’t care! My condition for going to the third’s home is that brat isn’t there! I definitely don’t want to see her every day!"

Old Mrs. Mu replied sarcastically.

She harbored deep resentment towards Mu Shuangshuang, believing that if it weren’t for that brat, she would definitely be in a better situation.

"She’s not young anymore; maybe she’ll get married when the Lu Family’s boy returns! At that time, the third’s family will have only Xiao Han and Little Zhi, isn’t that good enough?" said Mr. Mu.

Old Mrs. Mu was already somewhat convinced by this.

Indeed, she had seen it herself; the third’s family was certainly better than the eldest’s.

Moreover, the eldest’s intention today seemed to want them gone.

Old Mrs. Mu had to consider her situation.

"Speaking of that boy from the Old Lu Family, he became our reason to go to the third’s. If he returns, who knows, he might become a Lord in the army!

If we go with Shuangshuang, we’ll definitely gain from it. Being a Lord in the army isn’t worse than the eldest being a county magistrate!" said Mr. Mu.

Talking about benefiting from this, Old Mrs. Mu was completely swayed.

"Alright, let’s go to the third’s!" said Old Mrs. Mu.

"Going to the third’s, you’ll have to change your bad temper. You know Shuangshuang, that girl can’t stand anyone bullying her parents!

You can’t go there and act arrogantly, and you certainly can’t order Si Niang and the third around like before, understand?" Mr. Mu advised earnestly.

Old Mrs. Mu was unhappy.

"Who else should I order around if not Yu Si Niang? Certainly not myself! At the eldest’s, at least I didn’t have to do the heavy chores, right?

Can’t go to the third’s and have all these chores fall on me, right? Why be a mother-in-law then? Might as well let Yu Si Niang be the mother-in-law!" Old Mrs. Mu complained.

"You... is your head caught in the door? Can you say something so shameless?" Mr. Mu angrily retorted.

"Why can’t I say it? It’s only right for a mother-in-law to discipline her daughter-in-law! Let me tell you, if you make me go to the third’s without anyone serving me, I’m not going!" said Old Mrs. Mu.

Mr. Mu looked at his ignorant wife, feeling sharp pain in his chest.

He was already ill, and now felt even worse.

His chest burned with rage, unable to release it.

Just as he was about to scold his wife, Mrs. Lin burst through the door.

"Dad, Mom, something terrible has happened!" Mrs. Lin was in a panic.

"What’s wrong?" asked Mr. Mu.

"Big brother has taken Mrs. Jin back!" said Mrs. Lin.

"What? The eldest... cough cough..." Mr. Mu coughed continuously in anger.

"Dad, that’s not all, the fourth’s family was driven out by that woman!" added Mrs. Lin.

Mr. Mu’s face turned dark purple, clutching his chest, gasping continuously, looking as though he was about to pass out.

"Dad, this life can’t go on, just now... that woman even told me to bark like a dog, or she’d drive me out!

Dad, Mom, save me, save me... I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to go back to the countryside!"

The last sentence Mrs. Lin said made Mr. Mu spit blood in rage and immediately faint.

"Old man..."

"Dad..."

...

...

Mu Shuangshuang returned to her big house and gave the clothes she bought to Yu Si Niang.

She bought three pieces, one for Yu Si Niang, one for herself, and the last one for Little Zhi.

The Red House sold women’s clothes.

In a couple of days, she planned to take her father to another shop to buy clothes.

Mu Shuangshuang returned home and shared the Old Mu Family incident with Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang.

The couple became furious.

"Big brother, what are you doing? Bullying people like this! Poor fourth brother, poor Xiao Chu..." Mu Dashan started saying, and choked up.

"Well, I used to think your uncle was just confused; I didn’t expect he’d become so corrupted step by step!" Yu Si Niang lamented.

However, neither of the couple sympathized with the eldest branch.

They still remembered the eldest branch tried to sell their precious children, Little Zhi and Xiao Han.

"Shuangshuang, we can’t let your uncle continue like this! If so, the whole family will be driven to the brink, we must do something!" Mu Dashan said.

"Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll go to the dock tomorrow and have that escort leader, surnamed Song, introduce me to contact Second Uncle and Fifth Uncle, and then catch him red-handed!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Yes! Sending your uncle to prison isn’t a bad thing; it’s doing a good deed for the Old Mu Family!" Mu Dashan said.

Her father understood deeply; Mu Shuangshuang wouldn’t let Mu Dade go no matter what.

"Dad, Mom, these days, don’t go out; stay home as much as possible! We brought vegetables that will last our family several days.

Once they’re gone, I’ll buy a lot at once! Also, there’s something I need to discuss with you!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"What’s the matter?" Mu Dashan asked.

"My grandpa talked to me a lot today, seems he wants to come live with us in the third branch!" Mu Shuangshuang replied.

"Come live with us?" Mu Dashan was stunned.

"Yes, he said the household runs according to my say; if I agree, they can come!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"So do you... agree?" Mu Dashan asked.

"I’m here to ask for your opinion, Dad and Mom!"

Mr. Mu is Mu Dashan’s father, and Yu Si Niang’s father-in-law.

Though she dislikes them, it’s best to seek their opinions.

"I..." Mu Dashan hesitated.

Mr. Mu is his father; nurturing kindness may not be present, but the kindness of birth is.

Besides, Dad’s facing trouble now; as a son, he can’t just watch.

But given their past attitude, he worried that once they came, the peace of the house would be disturbed.

Yu Si Niang’s thoughts were similar to Mu Dashan’s.

She herself wasn’t bothered, but worried about how they might treat the children, and her husband.

"Shuangshuang, for now let’s not let them move in!" Mu Dashan said.,

"Right now, you’re busy with the new shop, and keeping up the fight with your uncle; if they move in now, it might distract you!

And your mom and I are soon returning to the countryside; we won’t be here, so they might not want to leave such a big house!"

The last sentence Mu Dashan said was unpleasant.

Yet it summarized his years of experience.

Especially his mother, she always managed to create trouble wherever she went!
