Chapter 570 - 566 Looking Down on the Old Mu Family (Four Updates)
Old Mrs. Mu started tearing into Chen Hong as soon as she opened her mouth.She had disliked Chen Hong for a long time, and that was tolerable when Chen Hong was just prancing around under her nose. But now, she dared to seduce her most important son in front of everyone.
Absolutely unforgivable!
"Mom, I’m Da Nian’s future wife, naturally I belong in the Old Mu Family, otherwise I’d have nowhere to go. Today is a big day because my eldest brother is back; you don’t want him to be upset, do you?"
As long as it didn’t come to a fight, Chen Hong wasn’t afraid of Old Mrs. Mu.
Old Mrs. Mu was so angry that her blood boiled. Chen Hong was clearly threatening her!
Just then, Mrs. Jin spoke up. "Mom, Da De and I will go rest first. Can you cook something good tonight? Da De said he hasn’t had chicken from home in a long time. He wants some stewed and fried, preferably from laying hens, as they are more nutritious than other chickens."
Right now, the Old Mu Family had only four big chickens left. There used to be six: one was stolen by Mu Danian, and one was pricked to death by Mrs. Lin with a needle. Of the four left, only two laid eggs, and they were what Xiangxiang needed.
Mu Xiangxiang’s routine of two eggs for breakfast was unshakeable. If she didn’t get them one day, who knows how she’d act up.
Seeing Old Mrs. Mu looking troubled, Mrs. Jin assumed she was being stingy and added, "Mom, you don’t know how hard Da De worked for the exams this time. So many scholars from the entire Qianzhou Region competed, and Da De was even ill..."
Mrs. Jin started going off on a tangent, and Mr. Mu furrowed his brows.
"Wife, quickly do as the eldest daughter-in-law says. Kill the laying hens—kill two of them!"
As soon as Mr. Mu spoke, telling Old Mrs. Mu to kill two hens, Old Mrs. Mu, of course, wasn’t having it.
"Kill all of them, and what will Xiangxiang eat? Shall our Xiangxiang not eat?"
"Eat, eat, eat—that’s all you know! When the eldest comes back for something so important, she doesn’t even show her face, hiding away in her room all day. What’s she so busy with, that she can’t even meet people?" Mr. Mu yelled.
"What’s wrong with my daughter being busy? She’s not like some people who go out every day and never make a name for themselves." Old Mrs. Mu gave Mrs. Jin a sideways glance.o clean it.
"This is just too bullying." Mrs. Jin lamented.
Mu Dade’s expression changed again and again.
He looked at the mess in the room and felt even more determined to leave the Old Mu Family as soon as possible.
"Let’s leave this house quickly; it’s unbearable to stay anymore!"
Mu Dade, wearing new clothes, wasn’t about to step into that filthy room.
Mrs. Jin didn’t want to either, and it went without saying for the two daughters. During this time, Mrs. Jin had been drilling noble family etiquette into them, even teaching them not to speak loudly. They weren’t willing to do any chores either.
"Why don’t we open an inn in town? This house is just too dirty!" Mrs. Jin suggested.
"Dad, my sister and I want to go to town; this place is no different from a pigsty!"
Mu Dandan’s voice was loud, and Mr. Mu, who had just arrived, overheard it.
His face instantly turned beet red with anger.
"What’s the matter here?" Mr. Mu stepped forward to ask.
"Dad, you’re just in time. What’s going on with this room, so filthy? Are you keeping pigs in here?" Mrs. Jin asked.
"No, Zhenzhen used to live here. She... later went to town to find work, so..."
Mr. Mu didn’t want others to know that Mu Zhenzhen had run off with a man.
"I’ll go ask the fourth daughter-in-law to come clean it up. You can stay in Dandan and Yingying’s room in the meantime."
Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying had a separate room that could temporarily house people.
