Chapter 1725 - 1720: Beaten Into a Pig’s Head!

"You... I don’t... Mom, she took my golden hairpin, my golden clip, give it back to me..."

Mu Xiangxiang cried incessantly.

She still hadn’t figured out the situation.

Thinking that when the Old Mu Family was still dictated by Old Mrs. Mu.

No matter how fierce Old Mrs. Mu was, she couldn’t change the fact that now the Old Mu Family was dictated by Mrs. Jin.

Unless the Old Mu Family collapsed.

But by then, even if Old Mrs. Mu was in charge, these valuable things would be gone.

"Xiangxiang, my sweetheart, don’t cry, your mom will buy it for you!" Old Mrs. Mu comforted Mu Xiangxiang.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jin sneered, "Buy? Where do you have money to buy? With that little money from selling land? I tell you, your money from selling land can at most buy one hairpin!

And it’s the lowest quality, even one of the hairpins on my, Dandan’s, or Yingying’s head, you can’t afford!"

What Mrs. Jin said was true, Mrs. Jin’s hairpins were all bought from the best goldsmith shop, Ruyi Pavilion.

Each hairpin was meticulously designed.

Even now, if you take the hairpins to Ruyi Pavilion, you can exchange them for the same price.

"You stinky old woman, don’t be complacent, one day you’ll pay for this!" Old Mrs. Mu shouted angrily.

"Pay for this? Who’s actually paying for it now? Which of your daughters had a good fate?

The Miao Miao from Big Aunt’s family, wasn’t she the one who believed in that stinky girl beside you, ate and vomited out, costing her a life?

Not even mentioning Second Aunt, who got abandoned for no reason, ruined her reputation in the whole village, and eventually married Little Aunt’s man!

Who has a more dramatic family saga than yours? Old woman, wake up, this isn’t your era anymore!

When people get old, they have to admit defeat! Holding on to your past glory, for what? Now, from now on, it’s not your call in the Old Mu Family anymore!

If you behave well, you’ll at least have someone to bury you when you’re dead, otherwise, you’ll be left in the wild, eaten by wolves!"

The resentment in Mrs. Jin’s heart was fully released at this moment.

She wasn’t joking with Old Mrs. Mu; every word was true.

She had tolerated Old Mrs. Mu for too long.

From when she became the daughter-in-law, she had endured and accommodated this old woman.

But this old woman had not restrained herself a bit.

When Da De was around, she was pleasant, all smiles and good temper.

Once Da De was not around, she would scold her like scolding a grandson.

She cursed at her with any harsh words.

Saying things like a hen that doesn’t lay eggs, lazy bumpkin, whore...

All these words she never heard back at home, she heard them all in the Old Mu Family from the mouth of that old woman.

Even when she used the chamber pot herself, she made her dump it.

Recalling those frustrating past times, Mrs. Jin wanted nothing more than to eat Old Mrs. Mu’s flesh, drink her blood, or even beat her to the point of being unable to care for herself.

But she knew all these could only be said within this door.

Outside this door, she was the noble Chief Clerk’s wife, Mu Dade’s wife.

She must remain graceful, she must remain dignified!

"You damn stinky old woman!" Old Mrs. Mu stomped her foot in anger.

After cursing, she again turned her gaze to Mu Shuangshuang and Mu Dalang.

"Are you two dead? I’m being bullied like this, and you don’t know to help me?" Old Mrs. Mu shouted.

"Grandma, understand the situation, this trouble, you brought it on yourself, what does it have to do with me or Big Cousin?

Besides, both our families have already separated, and already standing in this house without being kicked out, is more than enough kind! Otherwise, if we leave now, don’t you think Miss Jin wouldn’t beat you to a pulp?" Mu Shuangshuang chuckled.

The way she called Miss Jin was just on point.

It was as if Old Mrs. Mu found a new fighting spirit.

"Yeah, you old hag, where do you get the nerve to quarrel with me? You’re a woman cast off by Da De, you..."

"Cast off? Who says cast off? Have you seen that divorce paper? Da De didn’t even stamp on it, he still loves me!"

The divorce paper, indeed Mu Dade had shown it to the Old Mu Family back then.

But the letters on it were indeed unrecognizable to the folks in the Old Mu Family.

Mrs. Jin said if it wasn’t stamped then it’s invalid, Old Mrs. Mu didn’t know.

After all, she was a complete illiterate her entire life.

Whatever Mrs. Jin said, the old woman had no choice but to believe!

"Alright, liars, you’re all liars..." Old Mrs. Mu cursed loudly.

At the same time, Mu Xiangxiang also shouted and screamed beside her, clamoring for the golden hairpin.

The room was a chaotic mess.

Old Mrs. Jin came to Mrs. Jin’s side and said, "Yinyin, this can’t go on any longer, you need to change your clothes again, Dandan also needs to wear the phoenix crown, if it delays the auspicious time, we’ll be at a loss!"

Mrs. Jin frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, please open the door, let our relatives see how this old woman is making a scene!

It’d be best to bring that old man over too, this way, let’s see if that old man still hesitates to abandon this old woman!" Mrs. Jin said.

"Alright!"

Two daughters-in-law from the Jin Family hurriedly rushed up and went to open the door.

Almost the moment the door opened, Old Mrs. Mu stopped causing a scene.

Even Mu Xiangxiang, who was still fussing, had her mouth covered.

The room finally quieted down.

Everything continued, soon Mrs. Jin changed clothes, Mu Dandan wore the phoenix crown, finally looking like a bride.

Mrs. Jin started to cry again on the side.

Marrying off a daughter, though a joyful event, is always somewhat poignant.

Mrs. Jin cried till her eyes were red, at this moment the matchmaker came over.

"Is the bride ready? It’s almost time to leave!" asked the matchmaker.

"Ready!" Mrs. Jin wiped her tears, nodded to the matchmaker.

Then extended her hand, covering Mu Dandan with the red bridal veil.

"Then find someone to carry her from the room door to the sedan chair! The bride’s feet mustn’t touch the ground, touching the ground is an ill omen!" said the matchmaker.

Mrs. Jin looked around, the room was mostly filled with women.

Since someone was needed to carry Mu Dandan, they must find someone strong.

In the room, the only strong men were two.

One was Lu Yuanfeng, the other was Mu Dalang.

Lu Yuanfeng certainly wouldn’t do, so it had to be Mu Dalang.

However, before Mrs. Jin could say anything, Mu Dalang said, "Find Big Uncle, he’s strong and can definitely carry Dandan! I’ll go get him now!"

After saying that, he ran off in a flash.

Mrs. Jin was left with her words stuck in her throat.

Mu Shuangshuang admired her big cousin again.

Indeed, he was smart, knowing not to take on such a burdensome task.

Lu Yuanfeng had a similar reaction as Mu Shuangshuang; the two exchanged glances and smiled, then turned their attention back to the room.

At this time, the Jin Family began giving gifts to Mu Dandan.

Various gifts, all from the hearts of the Jin Family members.

Some gave money, some gave jade articles, but all these things were collected by Mrs. Jin, put in a box, for Mu Dandan to bring along to her husband’s house later.
