Chapter 528 - 524 No Chance to Rebut (Five More Updates)
"I want to drink meat soup..."Gou Dan shook his hand, and those black, dirty palms swayed in front of Mu Qingqing, almost killing her appetite.
"What are you yelling for? What if you wake your grandpa and grandma?" Mrs. Lin shouted.
Gou Dan got angry, grabbed the big sea bowl on the table and smashed it on the ground with a bang, shattering it instantly. This shocked not only Mrs. Lin but also frightened Mu Dazhong on the bed.
Gou Dan looked at Mrs. Lin angrily, pointing at the bowl in her hand.
"I want to eat meat soup, Gou Dan wants to eat meat soup!"
Without another word, Mrs. Lin slapped him.
With a "smack," a big handprint appeared on Gou Dan’s face.
"Eat, eat, eat, are you a glutton? Or a hungry ghost reborn?"
Having done this, Mrs. Lin felt guilty. If she really called the old lady over, wouldn’t she have to peel a layer of skin?
Mu Qingqing watched Gou Dan with a smug look. She disliked Gou Dan’s protective and greedy nature for food, thinking a beating would resolve it.
"Wah..." Gou Dan burst into tears.
At that moment, the second room’s door was kicked open with a bang, and Old Mrs. Mu stormed in with a gloomy face, giving two slaps to Mrs. Lin.
Mu Qingqing was scared to death, standing by with a pale face.
"Oh, I was wondering where my meat soup went; turns out you little brats brought it here. How daring you are!" Old Mrs. Mu cursed angrily.
Seeing this, Mu Dazhong desperately gulped down the meat soup in his hand, slurping it down in no time.
Seeing her husband do this, Mrs. Lin also tried to drink the meat soup on the table, but Old Mrs. Mu got there first.
Old Mrs. Mu grabbed Mrs. Lin by the hair, pulling hard, making Mrs. Lin scream non-stop.
Mu Xiangxiang, who came with her, picked up the bowl of meat soup, intending to pour it into her mouth, but Gou Dan had been eyeing that meat soup and wouldn’t give it up easily.
He pushed Mu Xiangxiang, and with a shake of her hand, the bowl of meat soup fell from her hand, smashing on the ground with a bang.
Mu Xiangxiang showed no mercy, giving Gou Dan a slap right away.
On the bed, Mu Dazhong, seeing his son Gou Dan being hit, struggled to get up.
"You ugly thing, daring to hit my son, I’ll fight you!"
During the scuffle, Mu Xiangxiang was pushed to the ground, her hand hitting a broken bowl, causing beads of blood to appear on her hand.
Mu Xiangxiang cried out, raising her bleeding hand.
"Mom, my second brother hurt my hand, Gou Dan made me lose my meat soup, their whole family is no good..."
Old Mrs. Mu dealt another slap to Mrs. Lin, then stepped forward to protect Mu Xiangxiang.
"Alright, you brat, you dare hit your sister? I’ll beat you to death today!"
Old Mrs. Mu shielded Mu Xiangxiang behind her, glancing towards the door crack.
In farming families, they usually keep birch rods for children. If children misbehave, they are not coaxed; they are beaten with the rods.
The more one cries, the harsher the beating.
Swinging the birch rod mercilessly at Mu Dazhong, it caused his already injured body to cry out in pain.
"Mu Dazhong, stealing the family’s meat soup and daring to hit your sister, do you have no conscience?"
"How did I bear such a creature? Aren’t you human?"
Old Mrs. Mu cursed and beat at the same time.
Mu Dazhong, beaten until his tears and snot came out, still didn’t forget to defend himself: "Mom, I’m injured too. Why don’t you treat me better? Fifth’s butt was stabbed, but I’m also badly hurt."
Mu Dazhong tried to argue that Old Mrs. Mu was being biased, and how could she not be angry?
Fuming, she swung even harder, and now Old Mrs. Mu’s face was contorted, as if her sole purpose was to beat Mu Dazhong to death.
In the second room, it was filled with Old Mrs. Mu’s curses, Mu Dazhong’s screams, and Gou Dan’s cries. The combination drove the village dogs to bark loudly.
Mu Shuangshuang finished making breakfast, served it on the table, finally ending this annual drama.
But the walls of the Old Mu Family’s courtyard were now filled with onlookers. First, Mu Dade hadn’t returned yet, and secondly, the Old Mu Family’s affairs were indeed a spectacle, thoroughly entertaining the whole of Er Gui Village.
Mr. Mu’s face was dark as iron, feeling all dignity was lost by his family, too angry to eat breakfast.
Mu Dashan, looking at the big bowl of noodles before him, lost his appetite, perhaps due to the Old Mu Family’s mess.
Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t be bothered to say anything, lest her father ask her to spend money on those people from the Old Mu Family.
Money isn’t blown in by the wind; only those worthy of help should be helped. No matter how pitiful, those who can’t be helped shouldn’t be.
After breakfast, Mu Shuangshuang called Lu Yuanfeng aside for discussion.
"Fengzi, I think we shouldn’t just simply look for people. We also need to ask around nearby human traffickers, as they see more people and travel more places."
Those traffickers are similar to modern illegal traffickers, though people here mostly sell their own kin, unlike modern times where others’ children are kidnapped and sold.
But even so, there’s no guarantee these traffickers won’t do such things.
Lu Yuanfeng was full of gratitude.
These days, Shuangshuang had tried various ways to help him find his mother. They even planned to cross Niuwei Mountain to see the families on the other side, hoping to find her there.
"Shuangshuang, thank you!" Lu Yuanfeng said.
"You’re being silly again. Why thank me? This is what I should do."
Whether out of responsibility or her relationship with Fengzi.
Lu Yuanfeng felt a warmness inside, wanting to say something, but Yuanbao dashed out.
He said to Lu Yuanfeng, "Second brother, I’m taking Little Zhi out for a walk. You have to save us some lunch."
With that, the two kids ran off in a flash, giving Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng no chance to object.
"These two kids are quite something, so young and daring to roam around." Mu Shuangshuang exclaimed!
"Yeah, Yuanbao’s energetic, the village is boring for him!"
The two shook their heads helplessly and then got busy with their tasks!
