Chapter 1078: Chapter 1074: Seeking Justice (First Update)

"How dare you... how dare you hit Zhenzhen?"

Hearing what Mu Shuangshuang said, that she not only hit Mu Zhenzhen but also landed three slaps.

Old Mrs. Mu erupted. She released Mu Zhenzhen’s hand and rushed over, wanting Mu Shuangshuang to taste the bitterness Mu Zhenzhen had suffered.

But before she could even touch Mu Shuangshuang, she was stopped by Mu Dashan and Lu Yuanfeng simultaneously.

Mu Dashan was even angrier: "Mother, even at this point, you still want to be biased? Zhenzhen ended up like this, and you are also responsible!"

This rebuke left Old Mrs. Mu stunned.

She stared at Mu Dashan as if trying to bore a hole in his face.

At this precise moment, Mu Zhenzhen added fuel to the fire, covering her face swollen by Mu Shuangshuang’s beating, she shouted at Mu Shuangshuang: "Mother, it was this nasty girl, it was her... she hit me! Boohoohoo..."

As she spoke, she wiped her tears, truly appearing as if she had suffered great injustice.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Mu’s heart ached, determined to teach Mu Shuangshuang a lesson.

Mu Dashan blocked her path, and she cursed Mu Dashan: "You bastard, when I gave birth to you, it wasn’t for you to go against me! Get out of my way!"

"No! Mother, look for yourself, the villagers watching are all laughing at our family!

Do you know who caused all this? It’s your good daughter Zhenzhen! She caused trouble, called other people’s children bastards, wanted to discipline someone else’s child, and even wanted to destroy our school!"

By this point, Mu Dashan didn’t care about anything anymore. He poured out all the grievances he and his daughter had suffered, like dumping beans.

He believed that his mother couldn’t be so unreasonable.

However, Mu Dashan still overestimated Old Mrs. Mu.

As a simple village woman, Old Mrs. Mu didn’t have a clear sense of right and wrong in her eyes.

All she knew was that Mu Shuangshuang had beaten her precious daughter, and she had to stand up for her precious daughter, it was that simple.

Lu Yuanfeng had always been a reasonable and cautious presence. From long ago, when Mu Shuangshuang had told him not to get involved in the Old Mu Family’s main house matters to avoid getting into trouble.

Lu Yuanfeng mostly only reasoned with the Old Mu Family members, and most of the time, he considered protecting Mu Shuangshuang’s safety as his priority.

His few words didn’t mean that anyone present could bully Shuangshuang.

Even someone like Old Mrs. Mu, he wouldn’t let her harm Shuangshuang in the slightest.

When Old Mrs. Mu tried again to confront Mu Shuangshuang, she was restrained by Mu Dashan and Lu Yuanfeng, who held her body and pinned her arms.

Even so, Old Mrs. Mu kept cursing nonstop, making such a loud noise that one might think a pig was being slaughtered at the school gate.

Finding it unbearable, Mu Shuangshuang straightly spoke up: "Dad, Fengzi, carry my aunt back to grandpa!

At the same time, tell grandpa what my aunt did, and let grandpa judge this matter!"

In Mu Shuangshuang’s heart, Mr. Mu seemed to be more about saving face and having some decorum.

Unlike Old Mrs. Mu, who had become accustomed to being unreasonable.

Moreover, this matter concerned the Old Mu Family’s reputation, and it was more appropriate for Mr. Mu to handle it!

Mu Shuangshuang dragged Mu Zhenzhen along while Mu Dashan and Lu Yuanfeng supported Old Mrs. Mu, the five of them quickly headed towards the Old Mu Family’s house.

At this time, the Old Mu Family was not peaceful either—

Mu Xiangxiang, who had just married and lived at the Sun family for only a couple of days, was already clamoring to return to the Old Mu Family.

Furthermore, she even talked about wanting a divorce from Sun Dali.

Mr. Mu had been scolding Mu Xiangxiang at home since the morning.

Who would have thought, before teaching Mu Xiangxiang properly, here came another Mu Zhenzhen.

When Old Mrs. Mu was carried into the Old Mu Family’s courtyard like a pig for the year-end feast, Mr. Mu heard her yelling.

He frowned and went to the front yard, and as he stepped in, Mu Dashan was already in front of him.

Mu Dashan truthfully recounted everything Mu Zhenzhen and Old Mrs. Mu had done to Mr. Mu.

"Dad... Our Old Mu Family has become a laughingstock among the villagers time and again. If this continues, we won’t dare to live in Er Gui Village anymore!" Mu Dashan said, looking at Old Mrs. Mu with pained frustration.

"If we can’t stay, so be it. We will go to the Capital and live there, anyway, the eldest will become a Champion Scholar and bring us there!" Old Mrs. Mu remained obstinate.

In her heart, she had already found a good place, and people in Er Gui Village didn’t matter to her.

No need to please them, nor to cater to their whims!

"You foolish woman, shut up!" Mr. Mu grit his teeth almost to the point of breaking them.

After listening to Mu Dashan, his face flushed red, especially hearing about Zhenzhen shouting ’bastard’ at other people’s children in the school and wanting to discipline them...

Which one of these matters wasn’t demanding his old life?

Before Mr. Mu could release his pent-up anger, relatives of Zhuangzi’s family, who lived in the village, arrived.

They truthfully told Mr. Mu all the trouble Mu Zhenzhen had caused yesterday.

Mr. Mu was so angry he nearly spat blood...

After sending off Zhuangzi’s relatives, he walked up to Mu Zhenzhen and slapped her across the face, making it swell up like a pig’s head instantly.

Mu Zhenzhen cried out in agony, sounding frightening to anyone who heard it!

"You went to Zhuangzi’s family’s house to cause trouble? Tore up their bed sheets? Stepped on their kang bed? Beat Zhuangzi’s mother..."

Each account made Mr. Mu’s face flush with anger as he spoke.

He scolded Mu Zhenzhen: "Do you have any shame left? The incident of Zhuangzi divorcing you is known in both Dahuo Village and Er Gui Village.

And now, you refuse to leave their house, are you waiting for them to break your spine and shatter your face before giving up?"

Mu Zhenzhen’s face hurt so much, and with Zhuangzi’s mother tattling, it provoked her.

Mu Zhenzhen couldn’t care anymore; she decided to just stop at nothing.

She stood up and shouted at Mr. Mu: "I’m ashamed? How am I ashamed? Clearly, it’s that old hag who’s shameless. She forced Zhuangzi to divorce me!

If not for her dirty business, how would I have ended up with that heartless liar? I, Mu Zhenzhen, never worked a day in my life, yet outside, I’m ordered around to do this and that.

Even disgusting and smelly chamber pots, they make me empty. I am a human, not a slave!"

Mu Zhenzhen’s words fueled Mr. Mu’s already unbearable rage, setting his fires ablaze.

He picked up a switch from the ground and began to whip Mu Zhenzhen mercilessly.

"You beast, committing shameless acts and you still think you’re right. Today, I’ll beat the beast out of you before you lose your mind completely!"

The switch fell like raindrops, leaving Mu Zhenzhen in great pain.

She cried out incessantly, pleading for mercy and apologizing repeatedly in the courtyard.

But Mr. Mu just wouldn’t stop.

Old Mrs. Mu shouted repeatedly from the side, but it didn’t calm Mr. Mu at all; instead, it made him hit even harder.
