Chapter 1589 - 1585: Mu Xiaxia Disagrees (Third Update)

"Mom, don’t push me!" Mu Dajiang’s emotions were somewhat agitated, even his lips were trembling.

He tightly held the money box against his chest, clearly intending to fight with Old Mrs. Mu.

Old Mrs. Mu was furious, "Push you? I haven’t even hit you yet! You beast, I’ve raised you for so many years, don’t even know how to be grateful, and you team up with outsiders to spite me!"

"Outsiders? Xiaxia’s mother is not an outsider, she’s my daughter’s mother, she’s my wife!" Mu Dajiang loudly refuted Old Mrs. Mu’s words.

"Rebellion, it’s really rebellion!" Old Mrs. Mu cursed.

It seemed today’s matters were endless.

Mr. Mu picked up the teacup in front of him and smashed it heavily on the ground, the teacup hit the ground with a "bang" and shattered into countless pieces.

"Everyone shut up, anyone who says another word, get out!"

Old Mrs. Mu was frightened, and the others were stunned.

Seeing this, Mu Dajiang took Mrs. Liu and left the Old Mu Family.

When leaving the courtyard of the Old Mu Family, both Mu Dajiang and Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

They felt a sense of liberation.

This family was really too exhausting to stay in, living amidst arguments every day, living amidst calculations every day.

If they stayed longer, they might go crazy.

But now that they’re out, everything changed, the sky is blue, the clouds are white, even the air got better!

So comfortable!

"Xiaxia’s mom, if I had listened to Shuangshuang earlier, if we had separated earlier, our family wouldn’t have turned out this way!" Mu Dajiang lamented.

Until now, he still regretted, regretting that they left too late, regretting that he realized too late about those people!

"Xiaxia’s dad, don’t say that! I also have faults, I was in the village, and I even envied the third brother’s family, and even... I felt that I could replace them physically!"

As she spoke of these things, Mrs. Liu’s face turned red.

She was really sorry for the third branch!

But Sister Shuang didn’t hold it against them, instead helped their fourth branch so much.

Unlike Mrs. Jin, who was a hypocritical woman, Shuangshuang truly had their best intentions at heart.

"Because our past mistakes are right in front of us, therefore... we have to be nicer to the third brother’s family!

From now on, all those bad thoughts are forbidden, we absolutely cannot betray the third branch, absolutely cannot wrong the third branch!!"

"Yes! I won’t envy the third branch anymore!" Mrs. Liu said.

Mu Dajiang was pleased to hear this and nodded in satisfaction, suddenly he said, "I think... once we find Xiao Chu, we should all go back to the village to live!"

"Back to the village...?" Mrs. Liu thought of the main house they sold for thirty taels of silver and quickly shook her head, "No, let’s not go back! Xiaxia’s dad, do you think we could start a business in the county?"

"Business?"

"Yes! Cooking for people, or selling buns or bread on the street! In any case, we should work together! The money we earn, we’ll save it as Xiaxia’s dowry and for Xiao Chu’s future wedding gifts!"

Mrs. Liu had this idea when they came to the county.

Now, she felt even more determined to do so!

As long as the family can be together, no matter how hard or tiring, they are happy.

"Okay, as long as we can find Xiao Chu!"

Back at the courtyard house, Mrs. Liu and Mu Dajiang returned home, just as they opened the door, a fragrant aroma greeted them.

On the dining table in the main room, six dishes of varying sizes were set, one of which was in a big pot.

Mu Shuangshuang and Mu Xiaxia were sitting at the dining table.

"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, you’re back just in time, the food is ready, we can eat!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Seeing the full table of dishes, Mrs. Liu and Mu Dajiang felt waves of gratitude in their hearts.

"Shuangshuang, did you buy these dishes?"

Saying that, Mu Dajiang opened the box he was holding, taking out five taels of silver from it.

"Shuangshuang, your uncle has returned the money to us, although it’s not much, it’s the fourth uncle’s token of appreciation, you take it!"

As he spoke, he handed the silver to Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang refused to take it, "Fourth Uncle, you have many places where you need money, I can’t take it!"

"No problem, you gave me two taels of silver before, then another two taels to Xiaxia, and bought so many dishes, even giving five taels is making you settle for less, you just need not dislike it!"

Mu Dajiang said.

"Fourth Uncle, I’ve told you, I won’t take it!" Mu Shuangshuang’s face showed a hint of thin anger.

Mu Dajiang was startled by Mu Shuangshuang’s attitude, his hand froze in place.

At this moment, Mu Xiaxia spoke up, "Dad, Sister Shuangshuang doesn’t want it, don’t force it on her!"

"This..." Mu Dajiang looked deeply troubled.

He couldn’t just keep owing favors like this, right?

"Dad, if you work hard and earn money, and live well! Sister Shuangshuang will be happy too!"

Mu Xiaxia noticed her father’s embarrassment and proactively explained.

"Xiaxia is right, Fourth Uncle, no more words, let’s eat!"

Mu Dajiang and Mrs. Liu sat down, at the dining table, Mu Dajiang and Mrs. Liu talked about how to deal with Mrs. Jin.

"Your uncle agreed to your mom’s few requests and then divorced your aunt!" Mu Dajiang said.

After hearing the full account of the event, Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t too pleased with the outcome.

Because Mu Dade himself didn’t suffer at all.

Divorcing Mrs. Jin, he just lost a wife, not only does it mean nothing to him, it doesn’t mean anything to Mrs. Jin either!

Divorcing, then he could marry her back, but Mu Xiaxia’s reputation, once it spreads, would never come back!

Moreover, she still believed Mu Dade wasn’t clean and innocent.

"Mom, why let them off?" Mu Xiaxia put down her chopsticks, her eyes showed a frightening look.

"I thought since your uncle pleaded with me, I just..."

Mu Dade’s kneeling almost entirely swayed Mrs. Liu’s decision.

Rather than saying Mrs. Liu softened, it’s better to say it was the first time she saw Mu Dade kneel to someone.

Her heart felt exceptionally comfortable! It was a feeling of a turnabout victory that Mrs. Liu couldn’t resist, she relented.

"Mom, did you forget how Xiao Chu got lost?" Mu Xiaxia’s emotions were somewhat agitated.

She was a victim and had been in that environment, she swore if she ever had the chance, she would make Mrs. Jin die!

"I didn’t forget, just because I didn’t forget, I can’t let your uncle be embarrassed, he promised to help me find Xiao Chu!

We just came to the town, we don’t have connections, we don’t know anyone! Apart from relying on him, who else can we rely on??" Mrs. Liu said, tears began to fall.

Mu Xiaxia realized she was a bit too agitated, quickly apologized to Mrs. Liu: "I’m sorry, mom, it’s all my fault, I’m not good!"

Mrs. Liu cried even more fiercely, "It’s my fault, I’m not ruthless enough, it’s mom’s fault..."

"Mom..."

Mu Xiaxia stood up, walked to Mrs. Liu’s side, and wrapped her arms around her.

The mother and daughter cried together.

Mu Dajiang also wiped tears beside them.
