Chapter 1159: Chapter 1155: Mu Danian, It’s Time to Settle Our Scores! (Third Update)

Mu Danian’s cursing snapped Mu Dade back to his senses.

He hurried to explain, "I remember now. Back then I was afraid Dan Dan’s mother’s bracelet would get stolen, so I had a fake one made for her. Maybe Dan Dan’s mother has a bad memory and accidentally wore the fake one as the real one.

When Fifth went to our house to steal the bracelet, he just happened to steal the fake one. Dan Dan’s mother and I both thought he’d stolen the real one, that’s why there was this misunderstanding!"

Mu Dade’s explanation was as shameless as shameless could get.

Mu Shuangshuang almost burst out laughing when she heard it.

She glanced at Mu Danian and saw that he was also looking at Mu Dade with a disgusted expression.

"Make it up, keep making it up. You really think I’d believe that? That Dad would believe it? That Mom would believe it?" Mu Danian sneered.

Mrs. Lin also started to make a scene, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, do you two have to be this excessive? If you don’t want our second branch and Fifth to go to the county and enjoy life with you, just say it. At worst, we just won’t go!"

When Mu Shuangshuang heard Mrs. Lin’s words, she felt they sounded familiar. After thinking for a bit, she remembered that it was the same kind of "apology" nonsense Mu Dade had just told her earlier.

Mu Dade was already panicking, but still forced himself to act calm.

"Fifth, Second Sister-in-law, you really are wronging me. I, Mu Dade, am not that kind of person. Since I said I’d take everyone to live a good life, then I definitely will!"

"Heh... definitely will? And how do you explain all this Silver on the ground? You going to say you hid it before and only just remembered it now? Big Brother, we may not have studied, but we’re not stupid. It’s not like whatever you say, we’ll believe!" Mu Danian pressed on, accusing Mu Dade relentlessly.

With no way out, Mu Dade could only turn to Mr. Mu for help.

"Dad, I’m your own son. You really don’t believe me?"

Mr. Mu really didn’t believe him!

His mind was in a mess, and Oldest’s words kept echoing by his ears—

Dad, once I make something of myself, I’ll definitely be filial to you and Mom!

Dad, I’ll support you and my mother in your old age!

Dad, my brothers have suffered a lot for my exams. I definitely won’t let their sacrifices be in vain!

Every one of those sentences felt like a heavy slap across Mr. Mu’s face, making him feel unbearably miserable!

"Dad, what’s wrong?" Mu Dade asked.

Old Mrs. Mu pushed at Mr. Mu’s shoulder. "Old man, say something! What do you think about all this? I for one believe in Oldest! He said he’ll support us in our old age, so he definitely will!"

Old Mrs. Mu didn’t bother hiding her stance.

Mu Dade was her son; she refused to believe what was in front of her.

Even if Oldest really did deliberately set up Fifth, so what?

If Fifth hadn’t stolen his bracelet, would he have been framed?

And as for all this Silver, Old Mrs. Mu didn’t think it was anything. She was giving Xiangxiang over ten taels as dowry; Oldest was a county magistrate, how could he not have some Silver on hand?

Mu Danian was so angry at Old Mrs. Mu’s words he could die.

"Mom, do you still remember what Big Brother said? You didn’t want me and the second branch going to the county either, is that it?" Mu Danian asked.

Old Mrs. Mu shot Mu Danian a glare. "Your big brother was just talking. Didn’t he also say before he’d take you to the county? Why didn’t you say you had an opinion back then?"

Mu Danian knew there was no talking sense into his mother.

"Dad, you’re the head of this family. How do you say we settle this? I’m not someone who’ll let himself be wronged that easily!"

Mr. Mu sighed, suddenly looking much older.

After a long time, he finally spoke. "Da De, you’d better think carefully about how you’re going to explain this to me later. I’m going back first."

"Explain? Explain what? Da De didn’t do anything wrong!" Old Mrs. Mu started cursing.

Mr. Mu got angry too. "Shut your mouth! If you hadn’t spoiled him, would Oldest have turned out like this?"

"What did I do? How did I spoil him? Don’t forget, Oldest is a scholar, he’s an official!"

That proud look on Old Mrs. Mu’s face almost made Mr. Mu cry from rage!

This woman of his was truly stupid!

"You old hag, if Oldest doesn’t support you, what does him being a scholar have to do with you? What does him being an official have to do with you?" Mr. Mu cursed.

"Bullshit! Why wouldn’t Da De support us? Did he say he wouldn’t? You heard him say it?"

"Shut up!" Mr. Mu shouted at Old Mrs. Mu.

Old Mrs. Mu still had that "asking for a beating" look on her face. The moment she opened her mouth again, Mr. Mu’s hand swung across!

With a loud "smack," a bright red handprint appeared on Old Mrs. Mu’s face!

Old Mrs. Mu clutched her face, howling in pain.

After she finished screaming, she started shouting at Mr. Mu, "Mu Dabiao, you dare hit me, you son of a bitch, you dare hit me..."

"Shut the hell up! If you dare curse one more word, I’ll keep beating you!"

"Beast..." Old Mrs. Mu spat out another curse.

Mr. Mu did exactly as he’d said and slapped Old Mrs. Mu across the face again.

Old Mrs. Mu was stunned. After a while, when she came back to her senses, she leapt up and landed a slap on Mr. Mu in return.

The two of them tangled together, clawing and fighting.

Mu Dashan hurried forward, trying to pull them apart.

Mu Dajiang and Mu Dade also rushed over.

This was the first time in all these years the old couple had actually come to blows; the scene was a complete mess!

Mu Danian had originally planned to enjoy the show a bit longer, but Mu Shuangshuang yanked him by the collar.

"Mu Danian, what you did to wrong Xiao Han isn’t settled yet!"

Everyone’s attention was focused on Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu. No one noticed when Mu Danian and Mu Shuangshuang disappeared!

Dragging Mu Danian into his own room, Mu Shuangshuang shut the door.

She grabbed him and slammed him hard onto the floor.

"Mu Danian was already injured to begin with. With that one slam, his bones were just about ready to snap!"

Before he could recover, Mu Shuangshuang kicked him in the face.

Mu Danian’s nose and mouth were both busted in one go.

Blood started spurting from his nose. Mu Danian clutched it, howling nonstop.

Mu Shuangshuang still felt it wasn’t enough. She took a few steps forward and started raining punches and kicks down on him again!

"You son of a bitch, I’ve told you long ago not to mess with the third branch. But you kept ignoring me, over and over again!

Now you even went after a little kid like Xiao Han. Did a dog eat your conscience?!"

Mu Shuangshuang cursed as she kicked.

Right now she was completely unhinged. All she knew was that if she didn’t make this bastard understand how ruthless she could be this time, then next time he’d definitely do something even worse than this!

There wasn’t a single good patch of flesh left on Mu Danian’s body. No matter how he begged for mercy, Mu Shuangshuang refused to let him go!

After beating him, she ground her foot into him. Whatever would vent her anger, that’s what Mu Shuangshuang did!

No one helped Mu Danian, and no one stopped Mu Shuangshuang. That’s why Mu Danian was doomed to suffer a major disaster today!!!
