Chapter 1588 - 1584: You Can Leave, But the Money Stays (Second Update)

Mrs. Jin was thrown out of the Old Mu Family by Mrs. Liu, with the divorce papers hitting her face.

Mrs. Liu turned back into the Old Mu Family, seemingly isolating Mrs. Jin outside from then on.

Mrs. Jin cried softly, it hurt so much, probably her bones were broken.

She wanted to die at this moment, but she couldn’t die!

She had to go back for revenge!

Mrs. Jin looked at the street in confusion, because it was close to the Lantern Festival, and the streets had been bustling these days.

Mrs. Jin had just been thrown out, which drew quite a crowd of onlookers.

People pointed at Mrs. Jin, some mocked her, some were curious—

"This person seems to have been thrown out of the Old Mu Family, I don’t know who she is, with her hair disheveled and her face swollen like a pig’s head!"

"Who knows, their family, they are all country folk who don’t understand manners! In the past, they poured waste onto the streets, now they throw people onto the streets, as if the street belonged to them!"

"Isn’t that so! They have lost all face; who knows why there are such shameless people? If their family were gone, we would all have better days!"

"What county magistrate or not, even the County Magistrate doesn’t have such a grand show, who do they think they are!"

The crowd cursed the people of the Old Mu Family and Mu Dade, yet no one recognized the person lying on the ground was Mrs. Jin.

Usually, Mrs. Jin rode high with sedan chairs, and would use them whenever going in and out.

She didn’t often see these neighbors.

Moreover, given her current image, it’s likely few could recognize her!

Mrs. Jin lay on the ground, only hoping that Mu Dade would quickly come to save her!

It was so cold!

...

Inside the main hall —

After dealing with Mrs. Jin, Old Mrs. Mu felt completely refreshed!

She said to Mu Dade, "Eldest, don’t say your mother is nagging, remember the lesson from that wretched woman Mrs. Jin in the future!

When looking for a wife, you must find one with a clean family background! Those who like climbing into men’s beds are not needed!

What’s more, since Mrs. Jin is divorced, you need to find someone with wide hips who can give birth, and have a big, healthy son! This way, there will be someone to carry on the family line and inherit the incense!"

Mu Dade forced a smile to Old Mrs. Mu, "Mother, you are right, I will remember!"

"Remembering isn’t enough, you need to act! In a day, it will be the Lantern Festival, I’ll have a look around nearby and ask people who have an unmarried daughter worthy of you, then we’ll arrange the marriage!" Old Mrs. Mu said.

"Mother, weren’t you planning to go to the countryside after the Lantern Festival? Why are you still fussing over these things?" Mu Dade asked.

"Going to the countryside? Who wants to go to the countryside? That wretched woman was driven out, me going over to deal with her doesn’t count anymore!"

Old Mrs. Mu said, looking entirely justified.

Mu Dade’s heart sank halfway.

He had forgotten the extent of his mother’s thick skin.

"Eldest, you’re not thinking of siding with that prostitute, driving your own mother away, are you?" Old Mrs. Mu looked suspiciously at Mu Dade.

Mu Dade thought this inwardly, but dared not admit it aloud.

Not to mention this moment with Mrs. Liu and his fourth brother present, just his mother’s temperament, if he said it directly, definitely there would be another big commotion.

This family couldn’t afford any more disturbances!

He couldn’t afford it either!

"There’s no such thing, Mother can stay as long as she likes!" Mu Dade said.

"That’s more like it!"

Old Mrs. Mu said proudly, and Mrs. Liu also stood up.

"Father, Mother, Daddy Xiaxia and I are going back, henceforth... we may not come over anymore!"

As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, Old Mrs. Mu said, "Not coming over? What does this mean? You’re not planning to honor me and your father anymore?

Also, those silver pieces you took, according to our Old Mu Family’s rules, they must all be handed over, Fourth, give me the money!"

Earlier, Old Mrs. Mu didn’t mention the fourth branch just because Mrs. Jin, the great enemy, hadn’t been dealt with yet.

Now that Mrs. Jin was removed, Old Mrs. Mu’s greed for money showed its effects again!

"Mother, that money is the money from that woman selling Little Zhi, we need to repay it!" Mrs. Jin said.

"I never said I won’t repay! When you need it, I’ll give it to you then!" Old Mrs. Mu said.

Mrs. Liu wasn’t willing, she knew her mother’s temperament, once it was in her hands, it wouldn’t come back!

"Mother, I can’t give you this money!" Mrs. Liu said.

"Not giving? Do you want to be driven out of the Old Mu Family like that wretched woman Mrs. Jin?" Old Mrs. Mu’s voice suddenly raised, she glared fiercely at Mrs. Liu, furious.

"Mother, that’s exactly what I want to say, our fourth branch is splitting from the Old Mu Family, from now on, like the third branch, we’re not related to the Old Mu Family!" Mrs. Liu said.

"You’re rebelling, are you saying splitting means splitting? What kind of onion or garlic do you think you are!

Don’t expect sympathy from me because Xiao Chu is gone and Xiaxia entered the brothel!

Others might pamper you, but I, old woman, won’t pamper you!" Old Mrs. Mu spat out harsh words.

Mrs. Liu’s eyes turned red with anger, tears almost falling.

"Enough, Mother, why are you bullying Xiaxia’s mother? Our fourth branch never took advantage of the family, and even if we split like the third brother, you wouldn’t lose anything!

I won’t give you the money, do whatever you want!" Mu Dajiang stepped out and protected Mrs. Liu carefully behind him.

In the past, he never dared to oppose his mother.

After this incident, Mu Dajiang was completely clear who was kind-hearted and truly good to the fourth branch in this family!

"You...you..." Old Mrs. Mu trembled with anger, pointing at Mu Dajiang, "You shameless thing!

If I had known you were such an unfilial beast, I should have drowned you in a urine bucket at birth to prevent you from harming people in this world!"

"Mother can consider me already drowned in the urine bucket!" Mu Dajiang said coldly.

After speaking, regardless of Old Mrs. Mu’s attitude, he kowtowed to Mr. Mu, "Father, since we’re not in the village, I’m not clear on how the division is done here, I’ll ask people in the city, then come to discuss this matter!"

Mr. Mu panicked, the third branch had left, how could the fourth branch split out?

"Fourth, reconsider, dividing is not a small matter! If you don’t want to see me and your mother, that’s okay! We don’t need you to visit often!

If you make money, keep it yourself, your mother and I have enough from selling land to live well the rest of our lives!" Mr. Mu said.

"Old man, what are you talking about? Saying this, what difference is it from splitting? Why should the fourth branch be special?" Old Mrs. Mu criticized with displeasure.

"Shut up, all the troubles in this family were caused by you, do you want this family to completely fall apart?" Mr. Mu shouted.

"You..."

"Xiaxia’s mother, let’s go!"

Mu Dajiang ignored his arguing parents, got up and let Mrs. Liu leave.

Old Mrs. Mu saw this and stopped quarreling with Mr. Mu, quickly blocking their way to prevent them from leaving.

"You can go, but leave the money for me!" Old Mrs. Mu said.
