Chapter 1246: Chapter 1242: My Younger Sister Doesn’t Know Any Better (First Update)

Mu Zhenzhen’s usually pleasant face was visibly changed by Mu Xiangxiang’s words.

Not being able to outargue Mu Xiangxiang, she had no choice but to seek out Old Mrs. Mu.

"Mom, just listen to what Xiangxiang is saying! Does she even see me as her sister? If it was an outsider speaking to me like this, I’d let it go, but she’s my own sister. What’s the meaning of this?"

Old Mrs. Mu was in a real bind.

If it were a conflict between others and her daughters, she would definitely side with her daughters.

But now, with her second daughter and youngest daughter both being precious to her heart, whom should she support?

Ultimately, Old Mrs. Mu chose to stand by Mu Xiangxiang.

After all, she had suffered more during the birth of her youngest daughter, and the second daughter had married early and hadn’t been by her side for many years!

"Zhen, your sister is young and doesn’t understand things. You, as the older sister, should let her have her way. Don’t stoop to her level.

Besides, today she’s been bullied by the Sun family, and we should band together against outsiders. How can we fight amongst ourselves?" Old Mrs. Mu said.

"Exactly, Mom is absolutely right. Second Sister, you’re supposed to help me, not deliberately pick on me!" Mu Xiangxiang said proudly.

Mu Zhenzhen knew that her mom was siding with Mu Xiangxiang, so she decided not to argue anymore since it seemed pointless.

She got up and said, "I have something to do, so I’m heading out!"

After saying that, without waiting for Old Mrs. Mu’s response, Mu Zhenzhen left the main hall.

Mu Zhenzhen couldn’t swallow her anger, and since her mom wouldn’t help her, she would seek justice for herself. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

After checking to make sure no one was following, Mu Zhenzhen headed straight to the Sun family.

Mrs. Qin was just finishing sewing the hundred family cloth sent over by Mu Shuangshuang when she heard a noise outside her courtyard.

Upon stepping outside, she saw Mu Zhenzhen sneaking around, looking as if she were up to no good.

Mrs. Qin’s first thought was that Mu Zhenzhen had come to demand justice for Mu Xiangxiang.

So she said, in no uncertain terms, "I don’t want to argue with people from the Old Mu Family. Go back and tell Mu Xiangxiang that since she’s married into another family, she should do what a good wife is supposed to do.

Don’t push our Sun family too hard. If you do, we won’t be polite!"

Mrs. Qin was still resentful, thinking that although her son was a bit chubby,

at least he was a hard worker in the fields and an honest man.

That Mu Xiangxiang was full of flaws and seemed irritating no matter how you looked at it!

Yet her son wanted that gluttonous woman more than anything!

Since marrying in, she’s eaten the family into poverty!

The more Mrs. Qin thought about it, the angrier she became!

Mu Zhenzhen rolled her eyes slightly and said, "Aunt, don’t be angry. I didn’t come here to cause trouble; I came to apologize!

After Xiangxiang got back, as her older sister, I already scolded her! Told her to live well with Dali, it’s just..."

"Just what?"

Hearing that Mu Zhenzhen had scolded Mu Xiangxiang, Mrs. Qin’s attitude towards her instantly softened!

Mu Zhenzhen secretly laughed at Mrs. Qin’s naivety but kept a sincere exterior.

"It’s just that Xiangxiang said she suffered too many grievances in the Sun family, never being full, nor warmly dressed, and Dali didn’t seem particularly nice to her either!"

After Mu Zhenzhen finished speaking, Mrs. Qin jumped in anger in the courtyard.

"That wretch dares to say such a thing? Suffering grievances in the Sun family?

How dare she complain when, since she came to the Sun family as a wife, she’s been sleeping in every morning till the sun is high in the sky?

When she’s in the Sun family, has she ever washed a piece of clothing? Even during her menstruation, her dirty clothes were washed by my son Dali!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, feeling as if she wanted to tear Mu Xiangxiang’s face apart.

Mu Zhenzhen, after hearing Mrs. Qin’s words, was so shocked that her jaw dropped.

She recalled how, in the past, when she was with Zhuangzi, he pampered her in the same way.

He washed her underwear and, during her period, her dirty clothes, too.

When she slept in late, and Zhuangzi’s mother commented, Zhuangzi always stood up for her.

Suddenly, Mu Zhenzhen felt as if she saw a glimmer of hope!

Xiangxiang actually likes this kind of good man?

Well, she could just give him to her!

Thus, Mu Zhenzhen’s gaze towards Mrs. Qin became more gentle.

"Aunt Qin, don’t be angry. I’ll go back and talk to Xiangxiang later and tell her to come back soon, get married to Dali, and give birth to a child so that you can have a grandchild early!"

Having been married once herself, Mu Zhenzhen knew exactly what kind of words an elderly woman liked to hear at this age.

So after a few sentences, Mrs. Qin’s anger had dissipated.

She opened the courtyard gate and took Mu Zhenzhen inside to eat the Jujube Cake she had made.

Mu Zhenzhen only ate half a piece, then said to Mrs. Qin, "Aunt Qin, that’s enough for me. Save the rest for Dali; he works hard outside, so he needs to eat more!"

Talking about food made Mrs. Qin feel a pang in her heart.

"Good child, you’re such a good child, even with just a little food, you think of Dali, unlike Xiangxiang.

I had to visit relatives and steamed two baskets of buns in the morning, leaving half a basket for Dali to eat during work.

Who knew, in just one morning, she ate them all, and Dali worked a whole day with nothing to eat but a handful of rice and water!"

Recalling what happened after Mu Xiangxiang married into the family, Mrs. Qin’s heart ached!

After noting down everything Mrs. Qin said, Mu Zhenzhen planned to use it in the future.

"Aunt Qin, it’s Xiangxiang’s fault, I’ll make sure she changes!" Mu Zhenzhen said.

"Change? If she can change, pigs might fly! And there’s another thing I’ve never mentioned; Mu Xiangxiang’s gluttony is one thing, but she’s lazy too.

Even the water for bathing is fetched by Dali, and she even has Dali clean her feet!"

These were things Mrs. Qin had kept bottled up inside.

Generally, she wouldn’t speak about it, but after seeing Mu Zhenzhen today, she couldn’t hold back!

Those words spilled out like beans being poured out of a jar.

Moreover, Mrs. Qin found that Mu Zhenzhen was much more sensible than Mu Xiangxiang.

Cultured, considerate; if only, back then, her son had married Mu Zhenzhen instead!

Even if she was a rejected woman, it would be better than her son working like a slave for Mu Xiangxiang!

After a bit more chat, Sun Dali came home.

Mrs. Qin went up to greet him, and Mu Zhenzhen took a dipper and offered Sun Dali a large scoop of water.

Seeing Mu Zhenzhen, Sun Dali was initially startled.

Then, politely, he accepted the water Mu Zhenzhen offered, "Second Sister, what brings you here? Sit, I’ll go call Xiangxiang to come and talk with you!"

Saying this, Sun Dali was about to go call Mu Xiangxiang.

But he was stopped by Mrs. Qin!

"Call her for what? That woman packed her bags and went back to her parents’ home, slandering our Sun family everywhere!"

Mrs. Qin said irritably to Sun Dali.

"Mom, you talked about Xiangxiang again? Didn’t I tell you Xiangxiang is just a kid, you should be more lenient with her?"

Sun Dali frowned, unable to stop himself from arguing with Mrs. Qin.

Mu Zhenzhen watched closely from the side, becoming more convinced that Sun Dali was a good man.

Such a good man might be hard to find again once this opportunity is lost!
