Chapter 1529 - 1524: The Thief Who Stole Mu Xiangxiang’s Dowry
"This... this..." Mu Xiangxiang looked at the blood-stained earrings, inexplicably feeling familiar.Weren’t these the jewelry her mother gave her as part of the dowry when she got married?
Mu Zhenzhen didn’t care what Mu Xiangxiang was saying; she only knew that her ear was ruined, and blood kept gushing out.
The earring originally on Mu Zhenzhen’s ear was pulled by Mu Xiangxiang, creating a tear in the ear.
"Good, I wondered where my dowry went. Turns out you took it, you slut! Give me back my dowry, give it back!"
Mu Xiangxiang, like a crazed beast, suddenly charged at Mu Zhenzhen’s stomach.
She shoved Mu Zhenzhen back repeatedly until she crashed into the wall of the Sun family’s courtyard.
This hit used all of Mu Xiangxiang’s strength, and Mu Zhenzhen almost lost half her life.
At that moment, Sun Dali came out from inside the house.
Seeing Sun Dali, Mu Zhenzhen immediately burst into tears.
"Waaa, Da Li, you’re here just in time. Xiangxiang said she still likes you and told me not to marry you. When I disagreed, she hit me!
She pulled my hair, bumped me with her head, and even... even tugged on my earrings, saying they looked good and should be used for her wedding!"
Mu Zhenzhen lied shamelessly.
Mu Xiangxiang was furious.
"You’re full of shit! Clearly, you stole my dowry, and snatched my man. You little whore, I’ll tear your mouth apart!"
Mu Xiangxiang cursed, waving her hand, ready to slap Mu Zhenzhen.
The first slap landed.
Mu Zhenzhen let out a wretched scream, then miserably pleaded to Sun Dali for help—
"Da Li, save me..."
The second slap was intercepted by Sun Dali before it could reach Mu Zhenzhen’s face.
Sun Dali held Mu Xiangxiang’s hand, preventing her from hitting.
"What are you doing? Let go!" Mu Xiangxiang shook her hand but couldn’t move, and questioned Sun Dali.
"Why are you hitting people? After all this time, how come you’re still so domineering?" Sun Dali asked.
"Me domineering? Do you know what this slut has done?" Mu Xiangxiang cursed continuously, showing no restraint even with Sun Dali around.
"Slut, slut, Mu Xiangxiang, following your mother, what have you learned? Are you even a woman?" Sun Dali’s face was full of anger.
He mistakenly thought that Mu Xiangxiang truly regretted.
He even fantasized more than once about rekindling past affection.
But what about her?
She came to cause trouble for Mu Zhenzhen, and spouted vulgar words, with no trace of regret.
"Leave me alone! I’m telling you, don’t marry this thieving wretch!" Mu Xiangxiang cursed.
"Enough! If I don’t marry Zhenzhen, who will I marry? You? Mu Xiangxiang, do you remember what you said before? To return to our Sun family, unless my mom kneels and bows to you.
I tell you clearly, there’s no chance for us anymore. My mom won’t kowtow to you, and neither will I!
I’d rather have no descendants than marry such a vicious woman as you!" Sun Dali declared to Mu Xiangxiang.
Mu Xiangxiang felt a bit distressed.
Almost to the point of tears.
But what Old Mrs. Mu instilled in her was to never bow to men.
Even as a wife, keep the head held high.
"Sun Dali, you’re just blinded by this woman’s charms. She’s no good; she’s a thief, she stole my dowry!"
Mu Xiangxiang pointed at Mu Xiangxiang’s forehead.
Mu Zhenzhen shook her head desperately, "Xiangxiang, I know you hate me, but you can’t falsely accuse me. You’re just like mom, hiding your things so well, who could steal from you?"
Mu Zhenzhen’s words dispelled Sun Dali’s doubts.
What Mu Zhenzhen said was true; being married to Mu Xiangxiang wasn’t short, but where her money was, how much there was.
Sun Dali, being a man, didn’t know, even under the same roof, sleeping together every day.
"Shut up!" Mu Xiangxiang erupted in anger.
"You shut up, then get out of our Sun family’s premises!" Sun Dali replied.
"You... you are just blinded by this vixen. What is so good about her? Skills in bed? Or you just like old shoes others threw away?"
The term "old shoes" drove Mu Zhenzhen to sob loudly.
She no longer covered her ear, pounding the ground desperately.
"I don’t want to live anymore..."
"Such misfortune, what kind of life is this..."
"My own sister calls me old shoes, what’s the point of living?"
Every word Mu Zhenzhen uttered acted as a catalyst.
Catalyst for the worsening relationship between Sun Dali and Mu Xiangxiang.
Sun Dali now felt like he was blinded, thinking Mu Xiangxiang was innocent.
"Mu Xiangxiang, you only know how to criticize others, have you ever reflected on yourself? Have you ever been wronged by our Sun family?
Whatever you wanted to eat, even if my parents didn’t eat, they got it for you! You never lifted a finger, while other women did all the work.
Just like that, you complained my mom wasn’t as good as yours, didn’t pamper you as much! Go and ask around with a lantern, which family has a daughter-in-law like you?
You don’t even treat me as a human, when upset, you made me bark like a dog, Mu Xiangxiang, ask yourself, after being with me, have I ever treated you poorly?"
These were words that Sun Dali had held inside for a long time, never voiced because he felt it unnecessary.
But now, he needed to say them.
"In the past, it was my blindness, marrying you, an ignorant, lazy wife!
Still the same, I’d rather have no descendants than marry you!"
The statement about having no descendants was overheard by Mrs. Qin, who came out to see the situation.
Mrs. Qin saw Mu Xiangxiang, then Mu Zhenzhen lying on the ground, and her son Sun Dali standing nearby in despair.
Mrs. Qin picked up a stick from the yard, shouting as she rushed at Mu Xiangxiang, "Wretch, I’ll beat you to death!"
Mrs. Qin was not like Sun Dali.
When she hit people, it truly hurt.
Mu Xiangxiang was beaten crying loudly, and soon ran away to a place further from the Sun family’s courtyard.
Mu Zhenzhen saw the luggage on the ground, remembering she still had things unsaid, she picked up the luggage and said to Sun Dali and Mrs. Qin: "Brother Dali, mom, I’ll go give Xiangxiang her things!"
Upon hearing Mu Zhenzhen’s words, Mrs. Qin found some solace.
"See? Zhen is the one worth marrying.
She’s not like that pig, she eats normally and doesn’t devour meals meant for nine strong men.
And these days, it’s been Zhen supporting the family. To feed that pig manure-eating dead girl, I even owed people two taels of silver. Without Zhen, it would never be repaid."
Talking about Mu Zhenzhen, Mrs. Qin only had positive things to say.
"You must treat her well; you absolutely cannot let her down!"
