Chapter 1247: Chapter 1243: Soaked All Over (Second Update)

"Didn’t I show her enough respect? Early in the morning, I made three baskets of jujube cake, placed them in front of her, and even set up the deck chair for her.

The clothes she wears are washed by me; the chickens and ducks at home are fed by me, and even those two big fat pigs in the backyard are fed by me!

What did she do? She lay on the deck chair, ate two baskets of jujube cake herself, and then ordered me around when she wanted more.

Am I a maid? Or am I a slave of this house, summoned whenever she’s hungry?"

Mrs. Qin’s hair stood on end!

Her own son siding with a woman who just married into the family not even half a year ago.

This is truly outrageous!

"Mom, if you feel like you don’t want to do those chores, then don’t do them. I’ll take care of them when I get back!

Xiangxiang is young; she indeed has her faults, and I apologize for her. Please don’t hold it against her!

I’ll go and call her back in a bit, and please don’t say anything to upset her, alright?"

Sun Dali’s tone of negotiation, along with his protective attitude towards Mu Xiangxiang, completely infuriated Mrs. Qin!

She forcefully threw the basket of jujube cakes off the stove, and the remaining dozen or so jujube cakes all rolled onto the ground.

The perfectly good jujube cakes were instantly covered in dirt and dust, probably couldn’t be eaten even if picked up!

"Sun Dali, if you want to protect that little whore, go ahead. But let me tell you now, if you bring that whore back, you no longer have me as your mother!"

Mrs. Qin was so angry that smoke seemed to be coming out of her nostrils, and Mu Zhenzhen seized the opportunity to curry favor with her.

"Dali, you step outside for a moment; I’ll speak to Aunt Qin about this."

Mu Zhenzhen helped Mrs. Qin by the shoulder and made a gesture to Sun Dali with her eyes.

Sun Dali nodded, gratefully glancing at Mu Zhenzhen.

He left the kitchen and went to look for Mu Xiangxiang.

Mrs. Qin knew what her son was going to do, sat down on the ground, and began to weep.

"Oh, woe is me! How am I so ill-fated? My son won’t listen to me, and even my daughter-in-law is no good. I just want to hold a grandson, is it that difficult?"

Mu Zhenzhen embraced Mrs. Qin in her arms, softly comforting her, "Aunt Qin, don’t be angry. It’s Dali who doesn’t understand, this matter isn’t your fault, it’s Xiangxiang’s!

You are Dali’s mother, and Dali will side with you! Don’t worry, things will get better!"

Compared to Mu Xiangxiang, Mu Zhenzhen’s image at that moment was quite noble!

After listening to Mu Zhenzhen, Mrs. Qin actually stopped crying!

She even said, "Oh, how unfortunate! Why didn’t Dali marry you in the first place!"

Mu Zhenzhen’s face turned red with shyness, her cheeks flushed as she said, "I’m not blessed enough, and a good man like Dali wouldn’t marry a woman like me who’s been abandoned?"

"Why not? You are understanding, and we get along well. If you don’t mind my Dali, wait for me... In short, after I have Dali divorce that Mu Xiangxiang, he will marry you!"

Mrs. Qin was truly confused by the anger Mu Xiangxiang and Sun Dali were causing her!

Plus, Mu Zhenzhen did perform well, so what Mrs. Qin said wasn’t thoroughly thought out.

Mu Zhenzhen, of course, understood this logic.

She acted shocked, "Aunt Qin, don’t say that. Dali is my brother-in-law, Xiangxiang is my sister, this would be punished by heaven!"

"What heaven’s punishment? They’re not real siblings! Zhenzhen, us women, in the end, need someone to care for us. You are well-rounded, and if you don’t mind Dali, I think you two can be together!"

Mu Zhenzhen turned her head away silently.

Mrs. Qin took this as consent!

...

Sun Dali, out of breath, arrived at the Old Mu Family.

The Old Mu Family’s yard gate was tightly closed, so he shouted from outside.

"Xiangxiang, it’s Dali, I’ve come to take you home!"

Inside, Mu Xiangxiang, who was eating, got excited upon hearing Sun Dali’s voice.

"Mom, Dali has come to take me home, I want to go back!"

But Old Mrs. Mu refused, "Go back for what? That old whore Qin dared to bully you simply because this boy didn’t warn her!

If you just go back like this, that old tramp will certainly think you’re easy to bully and who knows what she’ll say in the future!

Not to mention, you may not even get good food or drinks in the future!"

Mu Xiangxiang could put up with other things, but when it came to food, she absolutely couldn’t!

"Mom, what should I do then? I don’t want to be without food, I want to eat..." Mu Xiangxiang tugged at Old Mrs. Mu’s sleeve, seeking her help.

Old Mrs. Mu patted Mu Xiangxiang’s head.

"Don’t worry, mom will go and teach that Sun Dali a lesson!"

With that, Old Mrs. Mu stood up and headed straight for her room.

She picked up the chamber pot she forgot to empty in the morning and headed to the gate.

As Old Mrs. Mu appeared in the yard, Sun Dali was still quite happy.

He even called out, "Mom, you..."

Before he could finish, Old Mrs. Mu opened the gate and dumped a whole chamber pot of urine over Sun Dali.

Shouting as she did, "This is what happens to anyone who dares to bully my daughter!

Sun Dali, my daughter is the sister of the county magistrate. Go back and take a long hard look at yourself. What kind of disgrace are you!

No money, no looks, now get out of here!"

The tip of his nose was filled with the stench of urine, Sun Dali wiped the liquid off his face.

He almost fainted.

He looked at Old Mrs. Mu in disbelief, "Mom, what did you pour on me?"

"Hmm, what else could it be? I told you to go take a hard look at yourself!" Old Mrs. Mu snorted coldly, carrying the chamber pot like a rooster who just won a fight, strutting back into the Old Mu Family.

Sun Dali stood at the gate of the Old Mu Family’s yard, driven mad.

His eyes widened, staring in the direction Old Mrs. Mu left.

He stood like that for a long time until Mu Dashan returned, passing by the gate of the Old Mu Family yard, noticing Sun Dali standing there, already dazed.

Then he caught the sharp smell of urine coming from Sun Dali.

Mu Dashan hastily pulled him into his yard.

Helping to fetch water, letting Sun Dali wash his face.

Even after all that, the stench on Sun Dali still lingered.

Out of concern for his family, Mu Dashan couldn’t help but ask about what happened.

"Da Li, how did you end up like this?" Mu Dashan asked.

"I..." Sun Dali stammered, unable to explain!

For one, he felt embarrassed, and two, he feared no one would believe him!

A son-in-law went to fetch his wife back but didn’t succeed and was drenched in urine by his wife’s mother.

This kind of thing happened to someone, and who would believe it!

But on the side, observing the commotion, Mu Shuangshuang had already guessed what happened from the moment Sun Dali walked in!

However, since he didn’t want to share, she wouldn’t spoil it.

Given the choice, she’d rather focus on her inn’s business.

Recently, she had spent a lot of effort laying bait to catch a big fish!

It should soon be time to reel in that big fish, before too much time passes and extra complications arise!

Mu Shuangshuang thought.
