Chapter 1335: Chapter 1330: Who’s More Powerful?
Old Mrs. Mu heard the thorn in Mrs. Jin’s words, especially when Mrs. Jin spoke about her daughters Xiangxiang and Zhenzhen.
Old Mrs. Mu couldn’t hold back and raised her hand to slap Mrs. Jin.
"You brazen hussy, how dare you spread rumors about Xiangxiang! Today I’ll tear your foul mouth apart, and we’ll see if you dare to speak nonsense again!"
In front of the entire village, Old Mrs. Mu was about to strike.
Mrs. Jin hurriedly hid beside the village chief, while protesting to him, "Village chief, you should help me with this matter, my mother-in-law is impossible to reason with!
We had an agreement before, but now she’s changed her mind and wants to stop me from going to the county! If this continues, it might cost someone their life!"
The village chief originally didn’t want to interfere in Old Mu Family’s affairs, but Mrs. Jin’s words made him hesitate.
If someone really dies, it would be hard to resolve!
"Mrs. Mu, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to scold your daughter-in-law in front of the whole village? How about you go back and resolve the issue with the Mu Family’s eldest daughter-in-law?"
The village chief inquired.
"How I scold my daughter-in-law is none of your damn business! Or have you taken a fancy to this hussy and want to stand up for her?"
Old Mrs. Mu was used to speaking without any filter and was like a mad dog, attacking anyone she came across.
Her words made the village chief’s face turn red with anger!
He pointed at Old Mrs. Mu saying, "You’re simply unreasonable, it’s because of people like you that the Old Mu Family feels so shameful!"
"You..." Old Mrs. Mu’s face changed and she even wanted to hit the village chief.
"Shuangshuang, you have to step in here. If your grandma hits the village chief, things will escalate, and you might be expelled from Er Gui Village!"
Someone noticed Mu Shuangshuang and couldn’t help but remind her.
Mu Shuangshuang was leisurely enjoying the drama and suddenly being called out left her a bit unprepared.
But before she could speak, Old Mrs. Mu seemed to have found a savior.
She pointed at Mrs. Jin saying, "Shuang, go skin this hussy, and tomorrow I’ll go to the county and talk to your uncle, let him treat your third branch better! Together we’ll go to the county!"
Mu Shuangshuang felt like rolling her eyes at that moment.
Going to the county, is that something she longs for?
She straightforwardly said, "Grandma, I don’t want to go to any county, nor do my parents! The enmity between you and my aunt, solve it on your own, I won’t get involved!"
Old Mrs. Mu’s expression didn’t look good!
Fortunately, she didn’t scold Mu Shuangshuang.
Just when everyone thought Mu Shuangshuang wouldn’t interfere, she suddenly spoke again:
"But Aunt probably doesn’t know about the recent event where my grandma was nearly abducted and almost lost her life, right?"
Though Mu Shuangshuang said she wouldn’t help, her words still leaned towards Old Mrs. Mu.
Because she wanted the people from the Old Mu Family to go to the county and torment Mu Dade!
Only after they leave the village, can she feel at ease about her parents living there.
As for herself, she could seize the opportunity to go to the barracks and find Fengzi!
Mu Shuangshuang had already said that if she misses Fengzi, she should go find him!
"What? Your grandma disappeared? I... I didn’t know!"
Mrs. Jin pretended not to know anything and wore a surprised look.
Even though she had no idea why Mu Shuangshuang suddenly brought it up!
"You don’t even know about such a major incident with my grandma, yet you claim to have discussed you going to the county with her?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"I..." Mrs. Jin was choked by Mu Shuangshuang’s words.
She didn’t know how to respond to this.
"What do you mean you? Have you visited my grandma in the past few days? My grandma would know!" Mu Shuangshuang’s demeanor was aggressive, her words overpowering Mrs. Jin.
"You..."
"Grandma, don’t bicker with my aunt. Aren’t you holding onto resentment deep down? Take this opportunity, with everyone here, to explain your feelings and resolve this matter. Remember, don’t resort to name-calling, or you won’t seem justified in your actions!"
Mu Shuangshuang’s words undoubtedly reminded Old Mrs. Mu.
Old Mrs. Mu rolled her eyes and suddenly sat on the ground.
Tears streaming down her face, she cried and complained.
"Everyone, please support this old lady. All these years, our family spent money and effort to send our oldest to study. We thought our lives would improve when he became a county magistrate, but who would have known...
Who would have known the wife he married is a terrible woman? After giving birth to a son, she won’t even let us move to the county with them because she despises us for being old and unable to earn money!
Look at this woman, acting all polite and courteous, but she’s full of malice. She even wanted to sell Shuang before to buy herself pretty clothes. This woman is extremely wicked!"
Having rolled in the crowd, Old Mrs. Mu’s lies were very polished!
She didn’t skip a beat without faltering, Mrs. Jin initially had the upper hand because of Old Mrs. Mu’s rudeness.
But now that Old Mrs. Mu started playing the victim, she couldn’t gain any advantage!
"You all know that this old lady’s biggest wish in life is to live with her eldest son’s family. Now that we have money, how could we not want to move to the county with our daughter-in-law?
It’s this woman, this woman who lies and deceives you all, she doesn’t want us to come along!"
Once Old Mrs. Mu finished speaking, villagers began to chatter—
"Indeed, the situation of Mu Dade’s wife is also unfair. Had it not been for Mu Dade’s brothers supporting him, he might not have stood up!"
"Exactly, calculating things so meticulously even with one’s own siblings! Not wanting even one’s own parents, such a person probably won’t have much future in the officialdom!"
"Tsk! This woman, with her unpleasant features, clearly a mean one, is indeed no good! No matter how well she acts, she’s still exposed!"
As the saying goes, three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang, especially when the village women team up.
Their collective force is so strong, a single spit could drown a person.
No matter how Mrs. Jin explained, it was ineffective.
She was like a defeated rooster, completely drained of strength!
"Everyone keep an eye on this woman. If she tries to leave without taking the Old Mu Family with her, we’ll beat her to death and drown her at the village entrance!"
Whoever said it, village women started shouting to drown Mrs. Jin.
Mrs. Jin was truly terrified, and in such circumstances, she had no choice but to compromise!
She swallowed her pain!
"Everyone, please stop arguing. It’s true I didn’t manage this well, but I really did discuss it with my mother-in-law, my father’s presence was there too!
Since my mother-in-law wants to move together, let’s wait a couple of days, I’ll take them along, and then everyone can see how it is?"
Mrs. Jin’s expression was stiff.
She wished she could tear apart Old Mrs. Mu’s face.
After hearing her words, the villagers finally stopped their curses.
"We’ll be watching! If you don’t take your parents, we won’t let you leave either!"
