Chapter 1344 - 1339: Mu Dade’s Reception
The Old Mu Family group rushed the whole day and only arrived at the county by dusk.As soon as they got to the county, stepping off the cart, Old Mrs. Mu was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Startled and amazed, she found everything peculiar!
"Why are people in the city dressed like this?" Old Mrs. Mu pointed to a woman in sheer clothing.
"Exactly, they look just like the women in our village’s brothel!" Mrs. Lin echoed.
"These women are really shameless!" Old Mrs. Mu spat thickly on the ground.
Those passing by were disgusted and quickly moved aside, as if Old Mrs. Mu was some sort of plague.
Actually, the girls in the county were not shameless.
Nor were they from the brothel, dressed revealingly, just that the brothel women had money to buy the clothing that was most favored by women throughout the Da Ning Dynasty.
And Old Mrs. Mu, being used to seeing women in cotton clothes in the village, was simply surprised.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, quickly take us to find the eldest, staying here is no solution!" Old Mrs. Mu urged Mrs. Jin.
But Mrs. Jin was unhurried.
"Mother, we’re already in the county, why rush! We’ll soon see Da De!"
"I’m not anxious, but others are! Didn’t you see, the kids are all hungry!" Old Mrs. Mu shifted the blame to others.
Gou Dan cooperatively let out a few cries, snot coming out as he did.
Mrs. Jin turned her head in disgust and led the way to the house rented with Mu Dade.
Along the way, the children were noisy, demanding whatever they saw.
No words could stop them until Old Mrs. Mu gave them a good scolding, which helped!
Finally, Mrs. Jin stopped at a nondescript little courtyard and knocked on the door.
Soon, a servant came to open it.
"I am Mrs. Mu, quickly go and call Mr. Mu, just say his wife and parents are here!"
Mu Dade had been out of the bamboo garden rented by Ruan Xiao Jiao for some days, knowing that Mrs. Jin would return soon.
He just hadn’t expected the servant to mention his parents had also come!
Practically tumbling out of the house, he looked at the people outside like refugees, all staring at him.
Mu Dade’s head instantly felt heavy!
This...
He signaled to Mrs. Jin, wanting to know what was going on.
But Mrs. Jin ignored him and went straight into the house.
Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying followed Mrs. Jin and soon disappeared as well.
"Just look, just look, this woman, even in the village, didn’t want us here! Now that we’re here, she still doesn’t give us a good face, I say, this woman should be divorced!"
"Alright, say less and see what the eldest says!" Mr. Mu advised.
"By the way, have your second and fifth brothers come?" Mr. Mu asked Mu Dade.
Mu Dade shook his head, "I haven’t seen them!"
That day, Mu Danian and Mu Dazhong stole the village’s chickens to sell, claiming to join Mu Dade, but now, not even a shadow of them, making Mr. Mu worry instantly!
"Could something have happened?" Mr. Mu remarked.
Standing in the courtyard’s open space, neighbors were already looking over.
With this big of a group, Mu Dade feared becoming a laughingstock.
"Dad, let’s go inside first; we’ll discuss things later!"
"Alright then, everyone gather your things, we’re preparing to move!" Mr. Mu shouted.
Mrs. Lin, Mu Dajiang, and the others began moving their belongings.
Mrs. Lin barely lifted anything before holding her waist and yelling, "Fourth, you’re a man, strong, help me move this!"
Without thinking, Mu Dajiang nodded.
As a result, he ended up carrying everything from the second household single-handedly.
Mu Xiaxia, being a girl, had seen Mrs. Lin’s laziness too many times and whispered to her father, "Dad, I think Second Aunt is ordering you around on purpose! Can’t even carry a pillow?"
However, this was heard by the patrolling Mrs. Lin, resulting in chaos.
"You brat, Xia, so young yet already gossiping, be careful or you might lose your tongue!" Mrs. Lin yelled with hands on her hips.
Seeing this, Mu Dajiang hurriedly reassured Mrs. Lin, "Second sister-in-law, the child doesn’t know any better, she wasn’t talking about you, let’s just drop it!"
"No way! She’s a young girl, daring to do such things to me, if it goes unpunished, what will happen in the future? It’ll be chaos!"
Mrs. Lin’s voice was so loud, nearby people could hear everything.
Having lived here for a while, Mu Dade had never seen such a shrew like Mrs. Lin.
He felt even more uncomfortable inside.
Returning to the house, he could still hear Mrs. Lin’s cursing.
"Yinyin, what’s going on, why did my parents come? And those freeloaders outside..."
Mu Dade pointed outside, asking Mrs. Jin.
"I also want to know why your mother is so thick-skinned! Look at my face, my hair, all beaten by your mother this morning!
So many people, how much rice will we need to prepare in the future? Your salary probably isn’t even enough to feed them!"
After speaking, Mrs. Jin added, "Your parents even sold the land! From now on, we can’t let money generate money anymore!"
Neither Mu Dade nor Mrs. Jin approved of selling the land.
Because if they didn’t sell, they could expel these people anytime.
But now, with the land sold, evicting them became a difficult task!
"How much did they sell it for?" Mu Dade asked.
"Over forty taels, which in the county, means what? Not enough to buy a house! Not enough to do business either!"
The more Mrs. Jin spoke, the angrier she got, the angrier she was, the more she wanted to drive those people out.
"Oh, what a good life turned into this!" Mrs. Jin sighed.
"No, we can’t let these people stay here, look at the second sister-in-law, that voice, that demeanor, once she comes, probably the whole street will know I’m Mu Dade!"
Mu Dade said.
"But they’ve come, what can we do? And your mother, hitting me whenever she pleases, do I even look human anymore?"
Mrs. Jin still looked bruised and battered.
Seeing this made Mu Dade feel uncomfortable.
"I’ll go find mother!" He stood up.
"Alright, don’t bother! That old woman is just like that, casually beating and scolding daughters-in-law!
Doing whatever she wants! And this is just a part of them, when your second and fifth brothers arrive, life will be even harder!"
Mrs. Jin stopped Mu Dade.
She also knew that seeking justice wasn’t likely to succeed.
All she wanted was for the old woman to leave!
"Stop talking, I’m also having a headache! Our current house isn’t enough for these people!" Mu Dade said.
"What can we do, we only need to take care of ourselves, let them be however they want! If it doesn’t work, let them sleep on the floor, or get lost!" Mrs. Jin finished speaking, turned her back, no longer willing to look at Mu Dade!
