Chapter 1597 - 1592: Reclaiming the Third Branch’s House (First Update)

"How can my fourth aunt be like this? No matter how dark it gets, you can’t deceive the children!"

Mu Shuangshuang remembers clearly, back then, her mother was worried about Mrs. Liu being alone at home with no fields, no land, and no income, so she entrusted the work she originally did to Mrs. Liu.

Hoping that Mrs. Liu could make some extra money and lead a more comfortable life.

Who would have thought, Mrs. Liu would do such an irresponsible thing, even tampering with the children’s lunch!

With such actions, it makes sense that she would sell the Old Mu Family’s main house!

"Mom, from now on don’t be such a kind person, don’t do such good deeds! You do good and people don’t feel grateful, they just deceive you!"

Mu Shuangshuang has always been about the matter, not the person.

If she had been home, she would’ve said the same words directly to Mrs. Liu.

She would even say harsher things!

"Got it!" Yu Si Niang nodded.

"Alright! Let’s set aside the matter with fourth aunt, let’s continue talking about our small house!" said Mu Shuangshuang.

"Okay, you have the house deed and land deed, why don’t we have your father find a time to ask the village head how to resolve this issue?"

Yu Si Niang’s solution is as gentle as ever.

But gentle is not Mu Shuangshuang’s nature!

"No, Mom, yesterday I fought with the Ma Family’s protector, today I might have to use force to resolve the house issue!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Ah..." Upon hearing her daughter got into a fight, Yu Si Niang panicked, grabbing Mu Shuangshuang’s hand, "Let mom see if you’re hurt anywhere?"

Yu Si Niang examined carefully, not missing a single pore.

Mu Shuangshuang chuckled, "Mom, nothing happened! I’ve spent so long in the Northwest, I’ve learned a lot from Fengzi, ordinary people can’t mess with me!"

Though she said so, Yu Si Niang remained uneasy, insisting on checking her daughter thoroughly before believing she wasn’t hurt!

"Shuangshuang, tell me, what happened yesterday, how did it turn into a fight!" Yu Si Niang was still anxious.

Mu Shuangshuang explained how she returned yesterday, knocked on their gate, and how several protectors insulted her.

After hearing this, Yu Si Niang stood up in anger, "I’m going to argue with them!"

Why should her good daughter be cursed at by those people?

Seeing Baozi Niang, for the first time, wanting to argue with others because of her, Mu Shuangshuang felt gratified.

Her parents were growing, becoming braver, how wonderful!

However, Mu Shuangshuang still held onto Yu Si Niang’s hand, "Mom, I already taught those guys a lesson yesterday! Today, our visit is to reclaim the house!"

"Yes! We’re going to get them to leave our house! But let’s not go alone, I’ll see if your father is back.

If he is, let him call your Uncle Yu and Uncle Gouzi, everyone goes together, and let’s see if they leave!"

Originally, today was the Lantern Festival, Yu Si Niang didn’t want to make everyone unhappy.

But since someone dared to mess with her daughter, she would not be polite!

"Alright!" Mu Shuangshuang nodded, smiling.

She had already prepared the house deed and land deed!

Fortunately, Tie Dao Village was nearby, and soon Mu Dashan came with Mu Dalang and Huang Bita.

Yu Si Niang rushed up, telling Mu Dashan about last night’s events.

My goodness, Mu Dashan got really fired up.

He dashed into the house, grabbed a stick, and said fiercely, "Let’s go confront them! Before, we didn’t force them out because we lacked the house deed and land deed, and we seemed weaker!

But them, occupying our house was one thing, daring to bully my daughter, do they really think Mu Dashan is a pushover lamb?"

Yu Si Niang was deeply moved, "You’d better call Yu Tou and Gouzi as well, let’s gather a few more men, there are plenty in the village who are dissatisfied with Mr. Ma!"

Mr. Ma was just a local landlord nearby.

In Er Gui Village, he had a few acres of third-class land, but he charged higher rents than most landlords.

So, Mr. Ma’s few acres of land had no tenants.

Months earlier, his carriage passed by, initially wanting his servants to visit those few acres.

He happened to pass by the Old Mu Family’s main house and was immediately captivated.

Then, he sent someone to find Mrs. Liu, who was still at the Old Mu Family’s house.

Initially, Mrs. Liu refused because there were no house deed or land deed.

Later, due to Mu Xiangxiang’s escalating torment and Mrs. Liu’s own increasingly twisted mind.

Plus, at that time Mrs. Liu found the house deed and land deed Old Mrs. Mu hid at home, so selling the house went smoothly!

Mu Dashan gathered a big group of men and, with Mu Shuangshuang, headed straight for the Old Mu Family’s main house.

With such a large group, even without hoes and sickles, just standing there looked intimidating.

The group took the side entrance, as this was the domain of the Old Mu Family’s fourth branch.

Mu Shuangshuang knocked on the door, the protector opened it, having been afraid of Mu Shuangshuang just yesterday, yet acting arrogant today.

"First thing in the morning, all here for some donations? Our Ma Mansion doesn’t feed beggars!"

Just as the protector finished speaking, Mu Shuangshuang kicked him, sending him flying into the yard.

"Looks like you forgot what I said yesterday!" Mu Shuangshuang sneered!

"You... you wait!" The protector sputtered, scrambling up and running towards the main house.

Soon, another crowd gathered.

In the middle was a plump man whose flesh jiggled with every step, almost shaking the ground.

The man’s face was greasy, yet he wore a gold necklace thicker than a finger around his neck!

This man must be the Mr. Ma the protector mentioned.

The group stopped in front of Mu Shuangshuang, and the Mr. Ma loudly questioned seeing such a crowd from the village, "Are you all here to revolt? Don’t want to rent our land anymore!"

Pfft~

The crowd silently cursed in their hearts, that it’d be strange if anyone wanted your barren land!

"Mr. Ma, enough nonsense, make your people vacate our third branch’s house immediately, here’s the land deed, here’s the house deed!" Mu Shuangshuang flashed these two items in front of Mr. Ma, then said.

"Spit it out! How much!" Mr. Ma asked smugly.

"What?" Mu Shuangshuang almost laughed.

"I asked, how much for this lousy house!"

When occupying this side courtyard, Mr. Ma knew he didn’t own house or land deeds.

But he fancied such a large plot, anyway, they were just a bunch of farmers, even if things got heated, with so many protectors, what was there to fear?

"Lousy house? I don’t think you can even afford this lousy house!" Mu Shuangshuang said coldly!
