From Folly to Fortune:I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!
Chapter 1245 - 1241: I Won’t Learn from You (Third Update)
The Jujube Cake has already been handed to Mu Shuangshuang, and Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t refuse, so she accepted it.
She said a few words of thanks and turned back to the third branch.
At this moment, the Old Mu Family was already in an uproar.
As soon as Mu Xiangxiang returned, she clung to Old Mrs. Mu’s legs and began to cry.
"Mom, I’m so miserable. My mother-in-law is not a good person. She doesn’t give me food, doesn’t let me eat things, and calls me a hen that doesn’t lay eggs! Wuwuwu..."
When Old Mrs. Mu heard these words, her mind exploded like a bomb.
"What? That old hag dares to say that to you and even dares not give you food? Is she tired of living?"
Old Mrs. Mu raised her voice, angrily shouting.
Old Mrs. Mu has always favored Mu Xiangxiang, afraid she would suffer. Everyone knows this.
If Mrs. Qin dares to curse Mu Xiangxiang, it’s like touching a tiger’s butt!
"Mom, she even cursed you. You should stand up for me. I don’t want to stay at her house! I want to move back!"
Mu Xiangxiang cried terribly, and Old Mrs. Mu had to comfort Mu Xiangxiang first.
"My dear, don’t cry anymore. When you cry, mom feels hurt too.
Regarding this matter, mom will stand up for you. Not to mention your mother-in-law, even your husband Da Li wouldn’t dare utter a word against you!"
"Don’t worry! For this matter, mom’s got your back! Behind you is your big brother, don’t you forget, he’s going to the county to become a county magistrate. As for the Sun Family, we’re not afraid, we could even get a divorce!"
Old Mrs. Mu’s words about divorce instantly darkened Mr. Mu’s face.
"What nonsense are you spouting, divorcing? Don’t you know women being abandoned aren’t as well-off as men or do you want to let others laugh at our Old Mu Family?
And besides, it’s still uncertain whether Da Li’s mother said that!" Mr. Mu said.
"What do you mean? Are you saying my daughter is lying?" Old Mrs. Mu gave a look to Mr. Mu.
"Whether she’s lying or not, only she knows. Besides, a married daughter always returning to her parents’ house, what kind of behavior is that?" Mr. Mu asked.
"I’m willing to support my daughter, and nobody can interfere!" Old Mrs. Mu responded.
For Mu Xiangxiang, Old Mrs. Mu was willing to risk everything.
The old couple was quarreling ceaselessly.
Contrarily, Mu Xiangxiang, who initially triggered the chaos, ended up at ease, not interested in watching Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu quarreling, finding it extremely boring!
"Mom, stop arguing!"
Mu Xiangxiang started to mediate.
Just when Mr. Mu thought Mu Xiangxiang had grown sensible, Mu Xiangxiang spoke, "Mom, I’m hungry. Even if you’re arguing with Dad, you can’t keep me hungry!"
Mr. Mu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood!
"Do you feel you’re not at fault?" Mr. Mu looked at Mu Xiangxiang.
"Dad, why are you staring at me, it’s your choice to argue with mom, what’s it got to do with me?"
"You..."
Mr. Mu now felt maddened, quarreling for such a foolish reason, it wasn’t worth it at all.
Giving a side glance at Mu Xiangxiang and Old Mrs. Mu, Mr. Mu stormily left the Old Mu Family’s main room.
Old Mrs. Mu instructed Mrs. Liu to prepare a meal.
Three eggs, a big bowl of rice, some small dishes, and a piece of cured meat.
This is what Mu Xiangxiang eats every time she comes.
The other people in the Old Mu Family knew long ago, although envious, they could only look on hungrily.
However, Mu Zhenzhen, watched the commotion for quite some time and didn’t really see anything substantial.
Though she did think of something.
About Mu Xiangxiang’s dowry, Mu Zhenzhen heard from Mrs. Lin that Mu Xiangxiang had over ten taels as dowry.
This was much better than hers in the past, when she got married, her mother prepared a dowry of five taels.
Not even enough for her to buy clothes for half a year in town, and although she’s been married for years and now abandoned, all this time, she hasn’t bought clothes.
Contrarily her younger sister Xiangxiang, her new clothes one after another, her life seems more comfortable than hers!
"Sister, you’re really foolish, just left like this! Didn’t take anything with you. Later, if your mother-in-law goes into your room and takes away your dowry, what will you do?" Mu Zhenzhen suddenly said. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Her words awakened Old Mrs. Mu.
"Xiangxiang, your sister is right, your dowry must be brought back together!" Old Mrs. Mu said.
"Mom, don’t worry, it’s in my bundle!"
Mu Xiangxiang quietly said, pointing to the bundle on her back.
Mu Zhenzhen’s eyes, at that moment, lit up significantly.
Her gaze lingered on Mu Xiangxiang’s bundle, unblinkingly, seemingly already seeing a lot of money inside.
"Good girl!" Old Mrs. Mu joyfully patted Mu Xiangxiang’s head.
"Never fear, as long as your dowry isn’t lost, you won’t be wronged!" Old Mrs. Mu instilled her thoughts into Mu Xiangxiang.
"The Sun Family doesn’t have much money, Sun Dali’s demeanor, if you don’t want him, no one in the village will want him, so just rest easy!"
With Old Mrs. Mu’s reassurance, Mu Xiangxiang wasn’t anxious anymore!
"Then I’ll wait for Da Li to come pleading with me to go back, and have his mother apologize honestly!" Mu Xiangxiang spoke with a smug expression on her face.
Mu Zhenzhen beside didn’t care about their matters.
But she was interested in Mu Xiangxiang’s dowry.
She was also thinking of a way to get that silver to buy clothes.
Women need to dress well to be liked by men!
Mu Zhenzhen had been without a man for a long time.
Going back to Zhuangzi wasn’t possible, and she couldn’t hang herself on just one tree!
Thinking it over, she had to find a man from the city!
"Xiangxiang, tonight you sleep with me, I’ll teach you how to deal with your in-laws!" Mu Zhenzhen spoke insincerely.
Only to be flatly refused by Mu Xiangxiang.
"No way, you’re already an abandoned woman, why should I listen to you? Besides, you can’t sleep in my room anymore, it was already given to the second brother when you got married!"
Mu Xiangxiang wanted to return to her room before marriage.
But after she left, it had been given to Mu Zhenzhen.
"You... Xiangxiang, watch your words, why was I abandoned? Was that my fault? Clearly it was Zhuangzi’s mother, that old hag, who interfered!" Mu Zhenzhen said, agitatedly.
In truth, this matter would agitate anyone!
Mu Xiangxiang either didn’t understand or disregarded the significance, continuing to provoke Mu Zhenzhen with it.
"It’s obviously your fault, if you didn’t insist stubbornly on staying at our house, would Zhuangzi’s mother have abandoned you? If I were you, I’d definitely behave well in my in-laws’ house and avoid causing trouble!
You got abandoned at such a young age, no one wants you now, you don’t even know how those village women talk about you!"
The more she spoke, the more excited Mu Xiangxiang became, spouting all the unpleasant words she heard in the village to Mu Zhenzhen.
