Chapter 1257: Chapter 1253: The Truth (Part 2)

"Enough, enough, just consider it as my bad luck, Mu Dabiao! In this life, the children I raised, none of them are filial!"

Mr. Mu dropped these words and was about to leave!

If it were before and he had left dejectedly, Mu Shuangshuang wouldn’t have thought much of it.

She wouldn’t have stopped him!

But now, as soon as he said that, it was clear he wanted to pin the blame of being unfilial on Mu Dashan!

This kind of thing, she absolutely wouldn’t let it happen!

Mu Shuangshuang reached out to stop Mr. Mu: "Grandpa, let me analyze the current situation for you! Why does Aunt want to divorce Uncle? Isn’t it because she had a fight with Uncle’s mother, Grandma Qin?"

"And at first, Aunt probably didn’t want to divorce. Why did she decide to divorce later? It should be because of what you just said about my grandma causing trouble with the pee incident!

That day, when my father met Uncle, he was covered in urine. My father asked him what happened, and he didn’t explain, which shows he didn’t want the divorce at all!

How this got to Grandma Qin’s ears, I guess it definitely wasn’t Uncle who said it. If he wanted to say it, he would have mentioned it long ago! So, the real culprit, you know who that is!

People say to get to the root of things; you clearly know what the root is, yet you won’t remove it, insisting on salvaging it from somewhere else!

I feel that even if we solve it this time, there’ll be trouble in the future. It’s better to address the root this time!"

Mu Shuangshuang said a bunch of things, basically telling Mr. Mu to go find Old Mrs. Mu.

She was the one who caused the mess. If she hadn’t said or done anything when the couple initially argued, at most in a day or two, there would be nothing between Mu Xiangxiang and Sun Dali!

Now, after throwing a bucket of urine, she even bragged everywhere!

Even if Sun Dali agrees, Mrs. Qin, seeing her son suffer such humiliation, definitely won’t agree!

Mr. Mu understood what Mu Shuangshuang was saying, but after all, Old Mrs. Mu was his wife, and he didn’t want to put all the blame on her.

When Mr. Mu said nothing, Mu Shuangshuang guessed what he was thinking.

So, Mu Shuangshuang was not polite anymore.

"Grandpa, since you’re reluctant to let my grandma take responsibility, then stop saying things like my father is unfilial!

My dad is by far the most filial among the uncles. Every holiday, he gives you both gifts, right?

The amount might not be much, but compared to the whole Er Gui Village, it’s definitely respectable!"

Once Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, both Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang were shocked!

They thought Mu Shuangshuang didn’t know what they were doing!

In fact, Mu Shuangshuang knew!

Mu Dashan managed the academy and had a salary every month.

The harvest from the fields, apart from Lu Yuanfeng’s half, all went to Yu Si Niang.

Every festival, Mu Shuangshuang also gave them money.

And they always took advantage of the times when Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t paying attention to give Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu money for the festivals.

One could say, they really were good son and daughter-in-law!

"So you knew everything, and your mother and I were always worried about how to explain it to you!" Mu Dashan said, blushing.

"Dad, I know, actually if you told me, I definitely wouldn’t have stopped you!

But what I’m upset about is that despite doing so much, Grandpa still calls you unfaithful and unfilial!

If he still thinks that way, then don’t give money in the future, keep it for Xiao Han’s education or as a dowry for Little Zhi!"

In front of Mr. Mu, Mu Shuangshuang voiced her thoughts.

Mr. Mu’s face turned from blue to white!

In the past, when the third son sent gifts, he used to say that Shuangshuang didn’t know about it and told him not to mention it!

It was because of this that he dared to say that the third son was unfilial!

Now, with the truth revealed, anything he said sounded shameless!

So, Mr. Mu left the Old Mu Family in disgrace.

Because of what Mu Shuangshuang said, Mr. Mu ultimately resented Old Mrs. Mu.

He went straight into their room, saying directly to Old Mrs. Mu: "Old woman, go apologize to the Sun Family tomorrow! Xiangxiang and Dali cannot get divorced!"

Old Mrs. Mu, also in anger, replied, "Why should I apologize? That damn woman insulted me, insulted our entire family!

She even dared to bully Xiangxiang. Was it wrong for me to pour pee on her son? Besides, what’s wrong with a divorce? Xiangxiang is the sister of the county magistrate, even without Sun Dali, she can still marry into a good family!"

Old Mrs. Mu treated Mu Xiangxiang as a treasure, someone everyone would fight over!

"Insulted you? Who told you that? Xiangxiang?" Mr. Mu snorted. "You’re really foolish, the truth is not like that, it’s because Xiangxiang is as lazy as a worm, doing nothing in the Sun Family, even needing others to feed her!"

After all kinds of inquiries, Mr. Mu got this answer, which he found absolutely believable!

"So what if she’s lazy? My pampered daughter shouldn’t do everything, should she? Let alone the entire household’s work.

Don’t forget, our daughter married down, I prepared a dowry worth over ten taels, that money is not a small amount for any family, does the Sun Family dare say anything?!" Old Mrs. Mu said proudly.

The reason she prepared such a dowry back then was precisely for this day, to have the confidence to speak up!

The Old Mu Family wasn’t some poor family, they had money and influence!

The Sun Family was marrying up, and they still wanted more benefits?

Dream on!

Mr. Mu wasn’t aware of Old Mrs. Mu’s thoughts deep down, but he guessed it was pretty much the same!

"Marrying down? Have you forgotten about the previous engagement you set for Shuangshuang that got broken off?

You know the daughter of Fu Wu’s family, right? The one named Fu Xiaonan, the little girl you made us fall out with Fu Wu’s family after a fight!"

Mr. Mu deliberately emphasized the trouble Old Mrs. Mu had caused the Old Mu Family, trying to make her aware of the headaches she brought before!

"She was rejected by her childhood sweetheart, that Qingshan boy, and to this day, no one wants her.

Matchmaker Sun proposed so many matches for her? Fu Wu’s family is wealthier than ours, right? Plus, all of his property will eventually go to the son-in-law, who’d want that?"

By bringing up Fu Xiaonan, Mr. Mu hoped to make Old Mrs. Mu realize not to overestimate Mu Xiangxiang!

She’s not as desirable as believed!

But Old Mrs. Mu didn’t understand and still argued with Mr. Mu.

"Fu Wu’s family might be rich, but Fu Xiaonan doesn’t have a brother as an official, our Xiangxiang does!" Old Mrs. Mu insisted.

"Xiangxiang does, but how much do you think Da De can help Xiangxiang? Help Xiangxiang’s husband? Don’t you know, the eldest has always had his own ideas?

He never wants the brothers to follow him to the county! Even us, I doubt he really wants us there!"

Certain things, Mr. Mu understood but chose not to say aloud; this time, he was forced by Old Mrs. Mu to reveal it!
