Chapter 1134: Chapter 1130: Shuangshuang Comes to Teach Them a Lesson (Second Update)

"This tea is very good, it was brought back by Da De from the Capital. If you like it, go brew yourself a cup!"

Mr. Mu gave Mrs. Liu a look.

Indicating to Mrs. Liu to leave quickly.

The wives of the Old Mu Family each have different personalities.

Yu Si Niang is capable and skillful, her needlework is praised by the villagers.

Mrs. Lin is cunning and sly, her needlework is also good.

But this Fourth Daughter-in-law is naïve and ignorant, with no ill intentions at heart.

Yet, it is precisely this daughter-in-law that Mr. Mu fears might spill today’s events, embarrassing him and Da De.

"Dad, I don’t drink tea, I am..." Mrs. Liu didn’t understand Mr. Mu’s intentions.

She still wanted to ask in everyone’s presence where this tea came from.

"Alright, hurry to the backyard!" Mr. Mu interrupted Mrs. Liu again.

Mrs. Liu reluctantly left.

In the backyard, Mu Danian heard Mu Dade returned, and disregarding his pain, forced himself to climb out of bed.

Staggering he came out of his room.

Then step by step he reached the main hall in the front yard.

By the time he arrived at the main hall, Mu Danian was covered in sweat, with several wounds on his body opening up.

But thinking he could meet Mu Dade and live good days soon, he ignored everything.

Mu Danian’s sudden appearance with visible injuries drew everyone’s attention in the room.

Everyone stared curiously at Mu Danian, eager to ask how he got hurt!

Yet Mu Danian didn’t care about those looks; as soon as he saw Mu Dade, he started to cry.

His mouth made exaggerated cries. "Oh my, my brother, you finally returned, your brother waited for you, waited till he grew old, boohoo..."

Mu Danian’s weeping was entirely fake.

The reason he pretended to cry in front of so many people was to get a promise from Mu Dade and to make Mu Dashan look bad.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s a happy day, why are you crying?" Mu Dade pretended to console Mu Danian.

Mu Danian wiped his tears conveniently, "Brother is right, it’s a happy day, brother shouldn’t be crying, it’s just seeing brother so excited, plus these injuries..."

"By the way, Fifth, how did you get hurt?" Mu Dade casually asked, which played right into Mu Danian’s plan.

"Wasn’t it Third Brother, Mother fell ill, I asked Third Brother to pitch in for her treatment, he refused.

I argued with him, and he beat me, beat me like this, and even threatened me, if I dared to tell anyone, he’d let the Cheeky Girl teach me a lesson!"

Mu Dashan’s family wasn’t present, so all this dirt thrown on him went uncontested.

Just that Mu Danian didn’t know, outside the door was Mu Xiaxia who came to see if there was candy to be shared, upon hearing this went directly to the third branch.

She intended to relay all this to the third branch family!

"Ah? Fifth, are you mistaken, how could Third Brother... how could he hit you?" Mu Dade deliberately spoke loudly.

In fact, he wished Mu Danian to ruin Mu Dashan’s reputation.

After all, he’s not the one who said it, if a problem arises, it’s not his responsibility.

"How could I be mistaken? If you don’t believe me, ask Dad, did Third Brother hit me, did he refuse to pay for Mother’s treatment?"

Mu Danian threw the hot potato to Mr. Mu.

Because he knew Mr. Mu cared about face, he wouldn’t contradict him in front of so many people.

Mr. Mu’s face was a bit red, what Fifth said isn’t true.

Third Brother hit him because of his loose mouth!

The wife’s medical expenses were paid by Shuang!

But Mr. Mu didn’t dare tell the villagers, fearing they’d overthink about the people from the Old Mu Family.

The third branch had separated, even if shamed, it wouldn’t affect the Old Mu Family.

"Yes... yes, Third Brother did hit him!"

With Mr. Mu’s words, the crowd began to "criticize" Mu Dashan.

"What’s wrong with this Third Brother, usually he seems honest, how could he hit his own brother?"

"Don’t you all know, Mu Dashan owns a restaurant, a school, has everything now, surely he’s become conceited, forgotten his roots!"

"No wonder, they say despite being from the same Old Mu Family, why is Mu the eldest so successful?"

"Indeed, indeed, a pot of rice that feeds two families, yet raised a backstabber!"

Rumors often expand like this, now most villagers believed Mu Dashan did something excessive.

Ignoring brotherly relations.

Mu Dade’s goal was achieved; he was in a good mood.

He spoke, "Everyone let’s not talk about Third Brother anymore, he was always honest, hitting people surely wasn’t his idea!"

Mu Dade’s words removed Mu Dashan from blame again.

The intent clearly was to push Mu Shuangshuang out!

Mu Danian cooperatively said, "Brother is right, I wouldn’t have been beaten, it was that Cheeky Girl... that Cheeky Girl made Third Brother beat me, Third Brother always cares for his kids, is willing to abandon principles for them..."

The villagers immediately understood.

So apparently Mu Dashan was incited by a little girl.

Mu Shuangshuang usually acts rather unorthodoxly, not much gossiping with other village women.

So quite a few villagers disliked her, plus Mu Shuangshuang’s ability to earn money.

She became a rival for many women, Mu Shuangshuang in trouble surely attracted many to step on her.

"Hey, Mr. Mu, it’s not us saying, but this Third Brother is really out of line, doesn’t properly manage his daughter, she’s always flaunting outside, tsk tsk, one might think..."

"Think what?" A clear female voice sounded at the hall door.

Everyone looked towards the door, seeing Mu Shuangshuang wearing an apricot pink gauze skirt, holding a kettle of hot tea, with a smile on her face.

"Noth... nothing!"

The person who initially wanted to talk badly about Mu Shuangshuang, after seeing her quickly swallowed his words back.

He was even relieved; he hadn’t finished speaking, or it would have been hard to settle now!

"Shuangshuang, you’re here!" Mr. Mu wasn’t particularly warm.

Because he recalled Mu Shuangshuang’s tea gift before, felt Shuang wouldn’t likely cause trouble at the Old Mu Family now!

Mrs. Jin also stood up.

"Shuangshuang, you came, why work, no need for you to serve next to your uncle!"

Mrs. Jin wore a perfect smile on her face.

"Auntie surely jokes, I’m not here to serve Uncle, I came to ask if the tea taken from my house is enough, if not I have more!"

Saying so, Mu Shuangshuang shook the tea box before Mrs. Jin!

Mrs. Jin’s face immediately changed.

She realized the tea Mr. Mu took came from the third branch.

Afraid Mu Shuangshuang was here to nitpick, she hurriedly interrupted: "No need, your uncle brought tea from the Capital!"
