CHAPTER 451: CHAPTER 448: PARTNERING TO DEAL WITH OLD MRS. MU (SECOND UPDATE)

Mu Xiaxia stood in place, unwilling to move her feet.

"What are you still standing here for, hurry up and go!" Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but raise her voice. Who knew that Mu Xiaxia would glare at her.

Although she quickly withdrew her gaze, Mu Shuangshuang still saw it.

In her heart, her impression of Mu Xiaxia worsened.

In other words, the entire Old Mu Family knew that the only one capable of subduing Old Mrs. Mu was Mr. Mu.

But Mu Xiaxia didn’t go to anyone else, specifically coming to her. As for what was behind it, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t need to say.

"Sister Shuangshuang, I’m going!"

After saying that, Mu Xiaxia finally ran out into the courtyard.

"Xing Beichen, what are you doing, let go of my grandma!" Mu Shuangshuang walked forward, shouting at Xing Beichen, and at the same time, she made a gesture to Xing Beichen, signaling him not to let go so quickly.

The two had developed a pretty good understanding during this time.

So Xing Beichen understood immediately.

"Why should I let go!" As Xing Beichen spoke, he tightened his grip on Old Mrs. Mu’s hand.

"Ow ow..." Old Mrs. Mu began to scream.

"Shuang, quickly make this man let go..." Old Mrs. Mu grabbed at the straw, not even calling the usual little brat anymore.

"Grandma, don’t move, I’ll speak with him."

Today’s matter was quite the headache for Mu Shuangshuang, fortunately Xing Beichen would be leaving tomorrow, so it would have nothing to do with her then.

Besides, Old Mrs. Mu had hit Fu Xiaonan before, so this time, let’s consider it as revenge for Fu Xiaonan!

"What are you doing grabbing my grandma, don’t you know she’s old?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"I didn’t mean to grab her, she was unreasonable and hit me, even kicking. Everyone is raised by their parents, the one who married into your grandma’s family is a person, not an animal, how can you allow such abuse!" Xing Beichen replied.

"What business is it of yours, I’m telling you, if you don’t let go, when my son comes back, he won’t be polite to you!"

Old Mrs. Mu still refused to yield, Xing Beichen got angry and picked up a kitchen knife from the table, waving it in front of Old Mrs. Mu.

"You old hag, since you’ve always been so arrogant, I might as well chop off your hand!"

Only then did Old Mrs. Mu know fear, her body trembled continuously, the fat on her calves twitching.

The kitchen knife gleamed menacingly, seeing Old Mrs. Mu terrified like a mouse gave Mu Shuangshuang a sense of relief.

Pick on the weak and fear the strong, such a person typifies that saying.

"Grandma, you should quickly tell her that you won’t mess with my Fourth Aunt anymore, this kitchen knife is blind, if it actually chopped off a hand, you’d be laughed at everywhere you go."

Afraid Old Mrs. Mu wouldn’t believe it, Mu Shuangshuang continued adding fuel to the fire.

"This person is a distant relative of Fengzi, he hadn’t been in contact before."

"When he came last time, he was covered in wounds, even Fengzi was afraid of him, you might as well avoid provoking him!"

With these words, Old Mrs. Mu thought Xing Beichen was a bandit thug, and her legs went weak, directly kneeling to the ground.

"Mama..."

"Grandma, quickly tell her, you won’t bully my Fourth Aunt again, let him hurry and leave."

Old Mrs. Mu had only one thought, which was to preserve her life.

"I... I, the old woman, won’t hit the daughter-in-law anymore, hurry and leave, let go of me quickly!"

"Hmph, how do I know you’re telling the truth? If I’m not here, you’d likely hit her even worse, wouldn’t you?"

Xing Beichen sneered and asked.

"Grandma..." Mu Shuangshuang reminded from the side.

"I swear, if I hit the Fourth Daughter-in-law again, I... I..." Old Mrs. Mu couldn’t curse herself, but not doing so meant her life was forfeit.

"You swear, if you lay hands on her again, you’ll die a miserable death, your most cherished ones will meet an untimely demise!" Xing Beichen helped Old Mrs. Mu think up one.

Upon hearing this vow, Mu Shuangshuang silently praised Xing Beichen.

Those most cherished by Old Mrs. Mu were none other than Mu Dade, Mu Xiangxiang, and Mr. Mu.

The others were dispensable.

Old Mrs. Mu was about to refuse, but the kitchen knife was placed at her throat, so with tears and snot, she finished her swear before Xing Beichen withdrew the knife.

"Hey, my grandma has already said it, yet you still won’t let go?"

Xing Beichen released Old Mrs. Mu, who collapsed on the ground, dumbfounded.

Xing Beichen walked out of the kitchen, threw the kitchen knife at the foot of the sitting Old Mrs. Mu, cutting off the front half of her shoe.

"Ah..." Old Mrs. Mu shrieked, her head hit the wall behind her, and she fainted from the pain.

"Big Brother, come quick, my grandma fell and hurt herself, hurry help her back to rest!" Mu Shuangshuang shouted loudly, motioning with her eyes for Xing Beichen to leave quickly.

The mentioned Mu Dalang hurried forward, holding Old Mrs. Mu and carrying her away.

Xing Beichen quickly left as well.

Mrs. Liu was now disheveled, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Xing Beichen, you’d better go, I’ll have my mom cook dinner."

"Alright!" Without seeking an explanation, Xing Beichen quickly left.

Mu Shuangshuang stayed to handle the aftermath.

As soon as she approached, Mrs. Liu whimpered and pulled Mu Shuangshuang into her arms.

An adult seeking warmth from a child was indeed heart-wrenching.

But the environment of the Old Mu Family was like this, either separate from the family or endure Old Mrs. Mu’s criticisms.

However, Old Mrs. Mu’s recent fall was not light, presumably she wouldn’t be able to walk for a few days, so she wouldn’t be troubling Mrs. Liu for the time being.

"Fourth Aunt, it’s alright now, my grandma won’t cause you any trouble," Mu Shuangshuang softly comforted.

Mrs. Liu finally cried herself to exhaustion, slumped motionless in Mu Shuangshuang’s arms.

Mu Xiaxia also brought Mr. Mu.

While crying aloud, she said how Old Mrs. Mu had beaten her mother and that she sought Mu Shuangshuang for help to resolve it.

Mr. Mu listened very distressed at first, and his gaze towards Mu Shuangshuang gained a trace of inquiry by the time Mu Xiaxia reached the latter part.

No wonder he looked that way, after all, when Old Mrs. Mu lost her temper, even he had to use strong measures to suppress it.

Mu Shuangshuang had no choice but to relay the story to Mr. Mu truthfully.

Compared to Mu Xiaxia’s account, Mu Shuangshuang’s vivid retelling made the listener feel a tingling anger while increasing sympathy for Mrs. Liu a notch.

"So, the man took matters into his own hands to stop your grandma from hitting your Fourth Aunt?" Mr. Mu asked.

"Yes, naturally my heart sides with my grandma, but that man’s ferocity left no choice but to plead him to release her. The matter is settled now, except my Fourth Aunt was frightened."

After saying so, Mu Shuangshuang pointed to Mrs. Liu, who was still leaning against her.

Mu Dajiang pushed the door open, rushing forward with anxiety upon seeing the situation, he and Mrs. Liu embraced and cried for a while.

With someone taking care of Mrs. Liu, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t stay any longer.

She bid farewell to Mr. Mu, giving Mu Xiaxia a significant look before leaving.

She knew that Mu Xiaxia understood!

Mu Shuangshuang was not someone to be trifled with, and since they dared to play tricks in front of her, they should be ready for the day she returns the favor.
