Chapter 1680 - 1675: Tearing Off the Mask
Mu Dade opened his eyes and spoke nonsense.Mrs. Liu was so angry she almost spat blood.
"Dan Dan’s marriage is a big deal. Is my Xiao Chu’s life not worth anything?! Mu Dade, why is your heart so cruel?" Mrs. Liu questioned.
"Fourth sister-in-law, mind your words! What Mrs. Jin did has nothing to do with Dan Dan! And she married the son of the steward of the county office, a respectable man!
If she gets married without her biological mother present, how would I maintain appearances? How would the steward’s family view our Old Mu Family?" Mu Dade asked.
The weak are always bullied.
Mu Dade was confident the fourth branch was easy to push around, so he only aimed his words at Mrs. Liu.
"You..." Mrs. Liu was rendered speechless and could only look toward Mu Shuangshuang for help.
"Uncle, if Mrs. Jin hadn’t engaged in human trafficking, Sister Dan Dan could have had a grand and dignified marriage!
Now, since Mrs. Jin has done such shameless things, Dan Dan, as her daughter, must take the blame for it!
Even if you deceive the steward and forcefully marry Mu Dandan off, one day when it gets out that her mother did such vicious things, Sister Dan Dan still won’t be respected by her in-laws!
Unless you plan from the start to pretend to divorce Mrs. Jin, and once things calm down, take her back immediately!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
Every word Mu Shuangshuang spoke was true!
Although Mu Dade had divorced his wife, he had considered bringing Mrs. Jin back when necessary. ;’
But these are his deep thoughts that he could never admit!
"Mu Shuangshuang, this isn’t your third branch, don’t meddle in our Old Mu Family’s affairs!" Mu Dade said.,
"Nonsense! Shuangshuang is a member of the Old Mu Family! Although you bought this house, if not for the third brother working hard and bringing in all his earnings to let you study, would you be where you are today?
Eldest, a person should not forget their roots! Even if the entire third branch moved here now, you should welcome them with a smile!" Mr. Mu said.
Mu Dade’s face changed hearing this.
He inwardly cursed Mr. Mu for being senile.
He even regretted buying such a big house and letting the old man live in it!
"Eldest, you owe your current life to the sacrifices of so many! As long as you’re living in the county, you’re responsible for their food, clothing, and shelter! If you’re tired of the third or fourth branches, you may as well quit being a county official and go back to farming in the countryside!"
Mr. Mu was probably really upset and confused!
He never blamed Mu Dade before, but this time he spoke surprisingly harsh words.
Mu Dade felt terrible after hearing this.
He gritted his teeth for a long time before saying, "Dad, whatever you all want to say is your business! I have no contact with Mrs. Jin, nor did I consider letting her come back!
Regarding Dan Dan’s marriage, as long as I’m here, Mrs. Jin must participate! If you all feel uncomfortable in the county, you... you can go to the countryside! I’ve already provided plenty for everyone!
Without my work or Fifth’s work, things wouldn’t get resolved! If you plan to return to the countryside, take them all with you!"
"You... you beast!" Mr. Mu jumped up and pointed at Mu Dade, cursing.
"Ungrateful wretch, you are not human!"
"Dad, if I were ungrateful, I wouldn’t have brought you all to the county! Who provided everything for your living here?
How much trouble did my mother cause me back then? The whole street was dissatisfied just because of one night soil incident! Even now, when I pass by, people still mock me, saying a county official like me had such a disgraceful mother!
What could I do? Am I supposed to live with these insults forever?" Mu Dade shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Mrs. Mu walked in from outside.
Every word Mu Dade said reached her ears!
She questioned Mu Dade in shock, "Eldest, have you lost your mind? Are you talking about this old woman?"
"Mother, I’m not talking about you, I’m stating the facts! How many mistakes have you made? I’ve tolerated you so many times?
I just want Dad to understand that this family isn’t a place where anyone can speak as they please!"
Mu Dade’s words had a noticeable undertone of claiming authority.
He had been holding in his frustration for a long time.
With so many people indulging on his resources!
Why should he sustain such a large group of freeloaders?
"Do you remember who sent you to study? Do you remember how your brothers wanted a piece of meat, yet your mother saved it up for you? Do you remember..."
Old Mrs. Mu never expected that the person she cherished would despise her.
Her kindness to the firstborn was still vivid, as was his oath to care for her forever!
"Mother, how many years have passed since then? If not for my own effort, would you have today’s good life?
I know, you all envy me for being a county official! But this position is not for just anyone! If you have issues with me, report it to the County Magistrate, accuse me of disrespect, and claim that Mrs. Jin committed shameless acts, you can put all the blame on me!
But I’m telling you, if I lose my position, don’t expect to stay at my residence, pack up and go back to the countryside!"
Mu Dade’s words effectively tore the facade within the Old Mu Family.
From now on, anyone criticizing him should think twice about their abilities!
Mu Shuangshuang almost burst out laughing!
Mu Dade truly intended to dismiss everyone once he was capable!
He never fails to surprise!
Silence, a long silence!
Everyone stared at Mu Dade as if seeing a stranger they’d never known before.
Finally, Mu Shuangshuang broke the silence, "Uncle, you truly are the coldest-hearted in the family!"
"You brat, shut up! This is all your instigation, if not for you, I wouldn’t have fallen out with everyone, it’s your fault!" Mu Dade irrationally argued!
"Mu Dade, you blame others while being heartless yourself! Do you really think your deeds can be hidden forever? Do you think the County Magistrate will favor you forever?
Mu Dade, the unjust will inevitably meet their downfall! For all your wrongdoings, heaven will have its reckoning!" Mu Shuangshuang exclaimed.
"I did wrong things? What wrong things did I do? Spell it out for me!" Mu Dade struggled and lunged at Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang dodged.
She called to Mu Dajiang’s family, "Fourth Uncle, go to the County Magistrate to demand justice! Today, no one can stand up for you!"
"Let them go! I dare them! If they do, Mu Xiaxia will never find a husband in this life!" Mu Dade shouted!
