Chapter 1708 - 1703: Getting Rid of the Child in Her Belly

"Shuangshuang, you go take a look, will you? This time, your Aunt Zhao Yun also spoke up, your mom really couldn’t turn them down!"

With Zhao Yun involved, Mu Shuangshuang really couldn’t refuse anymore.

After all, Zhao Yun had a good relationship with the third branch.

"Fine, Fengzi and I will go take a look, but if something feels off about this, we’re just leaving!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Good! That’s what everyone said too. It’s enough that you’re willing to go and see, and if you can stop it, that’s even better!"

When Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng arrived at the Sun Family, Sun Dali and Mu Zhenzhen were in the yard, in the middle of a huge screaming match.

Sun Dali’s head was split open and bleeding, and next to him Granny Sun was snot and tears everywhere, trying to talk Mu Zhenzhen down.

"Zhenzhen, you’ve already got a child, don’t stay mad, all right? Just take it that this old useless woman is begging you!" Granny Sun said pitifully.

The child in Mu Zhenzhen’s belly was her lifeblood, her everything.

If anything happened, she wouldn’t go on living.

"Don’t get mad? How am I supposed to not get mad? Your son is still thinking about that bitch Mu Xiangxiang, he even calls her name in his sleep! In what way am I worse than that bitch? You tell me!" Mu Zhenzhen roared, eyes full of hatred for Sun Dali and disgust for Granny Sun.

She didn’t like a single one of these people.

"It’s Dali’s fault. I’ll make him apologize to you, just don’t be mad anymore, all right?" Granny Sun said in a low voice.

"Mom, I’m not apologizing to her. Didn’t you see what she did to my head?"

Back then, Sun Dali used to think Mu Xiangxiang was already a handful.

But this Mu Zhenzhen was even more of a handful.

Relying on her pregnancy, she strutted around this house like a tyrant.

If they kept indulging her, everyone in this family would be tortured to death by her!

"Mom, you hear that? It’s not that I don’t want to forgive him, it’s that he refuses to apologize, refuses to admit he’s wrong. I’m telling you, I’m going into town today to abort this child. I’ll make sure your Sun family never gets to hold a grandson for the rest of your lives!"

Mu Zhenzhen’s words fell into Granny Sun’s ears.

Granny Sun was so scared her face went white.

"Don’t, don’t! I admit I was wrong, I was wrong... I’ll admit fault on Dali’s behalf, I’ll get on my knees and beg you!" Granny Sun said, and started to kneel.

But Sun Dali grabbed her and stopped her.

"Mom, don’t you bow to her. She’s no good! If she wants an abortion, let her do it. I, Sun Dali, will just pretend this child never existed!" Sun Dali said.

"You’re out of your mind! That last wife of yours refused to give you a child even if it killed her, and now that there is a child, why don’t you protect it? You really want our Sun family’s line to be cut off, is that it..."

Granny Sun started sobbing and sniffling.

She really did look pitiful.

The villagers watched, angry but not daring to speak.

Whoever dared to say anything, this Mu Zhenzhen would grab a hemp rope and go hang herself at their doorstep again.

Who would dare invite that kind of bad luck?

Just as Granny Sun was about to despair, a clear female voice suddenly came from the back of the crowd, shouting loudly at Mu Zhenzhen: "If you really dare to abort it, then go do it right now, and once it’s done, Second Cousin-in-law, you divorce her on the spot!"

The crowd recognized the voice as Mu Shuangshuang’s and quickly made way.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng walked straight into the center.

Mu Zhenzhen looked surprised.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng hadn’t shown up in the village for a long time.

"You... what are you doing here? Get out of here!" Mu Zhenzhen didn’t like Mu Shuangshuang and told her to leave as soon as she opened her mouth.

"This isn’t your place. You’ve got no right to tell me to leave!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"How is it not my place? This is the Sun family’s yard, and I’m the Sun family’s daughter?in?law!" Mu Zhenzhen said righteously.

"Oh? Now you remember you’re the Sun family’s daughter?in?law? Weren’t you just saying you were going to get rid of the Sun family’s flesh and blood?" Mu Shuangshuang mercilessly tore through Mu Zhenzhen’s act.

"What’s it to you? Even if I abort the Sun family’s flesh and blood, I’m still the Sun family’s daughter?in?law!"

"No, you’re not! If you get rid of this child, you’ll be violating the ’seven grounds for divorce.’ The first thing they should do is throw you out!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"He wouldn’t dare!" Mu Zhenzhen suddenly found her confidence from who?knows?where.

She was sure the Sun family wouldn’t dare divorce her, because she still had the Sun family’s child in her belly.

"If you dare abort it, Second Cousin?in?law will dare divorce you!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Mu Zhenzhen was furious. "Sun Dali, you tell this rotten girl you wouldn’t dare!"

"No, I dare! If you dare lay a hand on my son, I’ll divorce you!" With Mu Shuangshuang there, Sun Dali felt braver than before and stopped just caving in.

"Sun Dali, you..." Mu Zhenzhen was livid. She turned her gaze on Granny Sun. "Mom, you say something..."

"Sun Family, let me tell you, don’t you go treating my second aunt like she’s something special. Sure, she’s carrying Second Cousin?in?law’s child.

But it’s not like she’s the only woman in this world who can give birth! If she keeps acting up, just divorce her and find an honest, decent wife instead!

As long as you treat your daughter?in?law right, you really think Second Cousin?in?law won’t be able to find a wife?" Mu Shuangshuang cut in, speaking directly to Granny Sun.

Mu Shuangshuang knew Mu Zhenzhen all too well.

She was the type who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

The more you indulged her, the more she strutted.

On the contrary, if you were hard on her, she just might settle down.

"Mom, you’re going to listen to this rotten girl?" Mu Zhenzhen snapped.

"I..." Granny Sun hesitated.

"Sun Family, don’t be scared. Everything in this world depends on fate! If the child in my second aunt’s belly is truly fated to belong to the Sun family, then no matter what, it’ll be born.

But if there’s no fate, then forcing it won’t help! Besides, the Sun family already produced one Mu Xiangxiang. You really want another Mu Xiangxiang?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

That last sentence from Mu Shuangshuang completely woke Granny Sun up.

In the past, they’d just been too cowardly.

They’d let Mu Xiangxiang step all over their heads.

Now Mu Zhenzhen was copying her, relying on the child in her belly.

"Ha, you’re right! I’m an old woman, almost in the grave already, why cling so hard to the idea of a grandson! If I really want a grandson, I’ll just go pick one up off the street and raise him! Wouldn’t that be the same as one my own son fathered?"

Once Granny Sun figured it out, she burst out laughing.

The lighter she took it, the more anxious Mu Zhenzhen became.

If this old woman really stopped caring about the child in her belly, wouldn’t she lose all her leverage?

No, that couldn’t be!

"Fine, so you all don’t care, huh? I’ll just go smash this child to death right now!" Mu Zhenzhen said, starting to look around for something to use.

Mu Shuangshuang casually picked up a stone from the ground and handed it to Mu Zhenzhen.

"Use this! Make sure you hit your belly hard. If you don’t kill it clean and end up giving birth to some sort of thing later, you’ll be the one dealing with it!" Mu Shuangshuang said with a squinty smile.

Mu Zhenzhen had never really meant to kill her own child.

The moment Mu Shuangshuang held out the stone, she lost her nerve.

She didn’t dare take it at all, but still tried to puff herself up.

"You... you get out of my way! How I deal with the child in my belly is my business, not yours!"
