Chapter 1601 - 1596: Stuck in This Place Again (Second Update)

"Mom, stop crying. I’m telling you this, not to make you cry!"

Mu Shuangshuang was anxious. She had anticipated that her mom would cry upon hearing these things, otherwise, she truly wouldn’t have spoken.

"It’s nothing, I just thought of the past. Our big family tightened our belts to send your uncle to school.

In the end, your uncle achieved greatness, but everyone’s fate turned out so tragic!"

Yu Si Niang felt deep discomfort in her heart.

When she first joined the Old Mu Family as a daughter-in-law, Shuangshuang’s grandmother told her to adhere to the family’s rules.

She remembered distinctly, the first rule was that the money earned by both men and women at home had to be handed over for the uncle’s schooling.

From then on, she couldn’t even take care of the food and shelter of the children at home, just for that uncle’s education.

And what did it lead to?

Her husband nearly died, her daughter almost got sold off, and she herself was almost forced to be abandoned!

Thinking of these things, Yu Si Niang couldn’t help but feel it wasn’t worth it!

If each family had lived independently from the start, perhaps the second and fourth branches and the Fifth wouldn’t be like this.

Simply because everyone knew that working to the bone, the money ultimately wouldn’t be theirs.

Whether working a lot or a little, it’s always just a bowl of sweet potato and a few vegetables.

Yu Si Niang’s lament was undoubtedly a relief to Mu Shuangshuang.

The clearer her mom saw through those people in the Old Mu Family, the more at ease she felt!

From now on, her mom wouldn’t be like Xiaxia, deceived by Mrs. Jin’s flowery words!

"Mom, since you mentioned my uncle, I won’t hide it. With Xiaxia’s case, my uncle should be involved!

If not, with my aunt’s capabilities, she couldn’t possibly do something so wicked!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

At this, Yu Si Niang’s mouth gaped wide open in astonishment.

"Your uncle..."

"Mom, don’t be surprised. Divorcing my aunt wasn’t a punishment for her, it’s a strategy between her and my uncle!

They might fool others, but not me!" Mu Shuangshuang spoke honestly.

If the fourth branch had listened to her, the first branch wouldn’t have done so many bad things without punishment!

Moreover, her mom still didn’t know that Ruan Xiao Jiao was pregnant with Mu Dade’s child.

Not wanting to consummate with the County Magistrate, she let Taohua take her place.

In the end, Taohua got pregnant, and the two conspired to take Taohua’s life!

Not saying was fine, but now that it’s said, Mu Dade was simply crazy, completely devoid of any humanity!

Yu Si Niang had accepted too much shocking news in that brief moment.

She might not be able to sleep tonight.

"Mom, you handle the fire, I’ll cook!"

Mu Shuangshuang worried that Yu Si Niang might cut herself, so she deliberately swapped tasks with her.

Yu Si Niang also acknowledged her bad state and nodded in acceptance.

"Mom, there are some things I don’t want to tell you, but if I don’t, I’m afraid someday my uncle and aunt will trick you!

I’m saying it now: no matter how pitiful my uncle and aunt might become, don’t sympathize with them, and certainly don’t let them into our home!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Yu Si Niang nodded repeatedly, knowing the fourth branch’s plight, she wouldn’t dare let the first branch near her?

With Yu Si Niang’s assurance, Mu Shuangshuang felt temporarily at ease!

However, she wouldn’t let her guard down, ultimately she had to go to the county to find a way to bring Mu Dade down!

Mu Shuangshuang thought that the best way to punish Mu Dade was to leave him with nothing.

When he has nothing, he likely won’t flaunt himself anymore!

Meanwhile, every household was preparing lunch, awaiting the Lantern Festival.

But there was one place that wasn’t quite normal.

On an abandoned land where weeds grew rampant, two people were hiding.

A man and a woman, where the man was bald-headed, none other than Wang San.

As for the woman, it was Xia Guagua!

The two of them hid in the grass, although not doing anything unmentionable, it was not far off.

Wang San’s hand wandered, touching Xia Guagua’s big white buns in front.

On his face, was a lewd grin.

Unfortunately, Xia Guagua only let him touch, but wouldn’t let him look or do more, otherwise he guaranteed this young girl would be in ecstasy!

"Next time don’t pick a place like this, not only is it dirty, but it’s also easy to get caught!" Xia Guagua said expressionlessly.

"Guagua, I had no choice. Everyone knows I went to the temple, if I went back, wouldn’t they all flock over!

How could I find time to see you, comfort your little treasure?"

Wang San spoke while tightly staring at Xia Guagua with his squinted eyes.

"Enough! I’m fed up!" Xia Guagua slapped Wang San’s hand away.

Wang San winced in pain, noticing Xia Guagua’s bad mood, he asked, "What’s wrong, who’s bullying you? Tell me, I’ll kill him!"

Wang San’s earnest demeanor seemed like sarcasm to Xia Guagua!

"Stop bluffing. I asked you to deal with that damned girl, and you refused! Now, that damned girl came back, and the villagers will laugh at me again!"

With this, Xia Guagua began to cry, heartbroken.

Wang San immediately felt his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys hurt.

"Honey, my life is yours, you don’t like someone, I’ll kill them, alright?"

Wang San used all means to coax Xia Guagua!

However, Xia Guagua knew it was unrealistic for Wang San to kill, but borrowing someone else’s hand was possible!

"Don’t kill anyone. Just go to the village and chat with Ma the Landlord, tell him his mansion is a fortune-bringing house, then point to where the Third Branch of the Mu Family used to stay, say that’s the most prosperous! Without that place, the house is cursed!"

Today’s argument between the third branch and Ma the Landlord, the villagers all knew.

Xia Guagua also knew Old Ma, a local tycoon, held some power.

If he targeted Mu Shuangshuang, even if unable to kill her, her parents would suffer somewhat!

Mu Shuangshuang’s suffering would be Xia Guagua’s delight.

"Just that?" Wang San looked confused!

"Yes, just that! What else did you think you were gonna do?" Xia Guagua rolled her eyes.

"Guagua, you truly care for me, not wanting me to do those murderous acts!" Wang San replied proudly.

Looking at his hairless head, then at his body in his fifties, Xia Guagua felt nauseated.

"Enough, stop babbling! Go to Ma the Landlord’s house now, don’t delay the event!"

"Ugh..." Wang San didn’t look pleased.

"I was hoping to... hoping to... touch your treasures a bit more!" Wang San glanced at Xia Guagua’s chest.

"After it’s done, we’ll see!"

Xia Guagua had completely lost interest; her man shouldn’t be this feeble Wang San.

This old beast, even as a monk, remained restless, he should be skinned alive!

Xia Guagua tidied her clothes and crawled out of the weeds.

Wang San glanced at Xia Guagua’s back and got up to follow, heading towards Ma the Landlord’s house...
