Free Web NovelChapter 1304: Chapter 1299: The Consequences of Losing Discipline (First Update)
Old Mrs. Mu passed away an entire morning, and no one noticed.
It wasn’t until lunchtime, when everyone was waiting for her to distribute the food, that Mrs. Liu said something.
"Mother hasn’t shown up all morning. I fed Xiangxiang breakfast, and even cleaned up everything myself!"
Mu Xiangxiang was the treasure of Old Mrs. Mu. Ever since Mu Xiangxiang fell ill, Old Mrs. Mu had taken over the task of caring for her.
Whether it was cleaning her body, serving tea, pouring water, or feeding, she did it all herself!
Mrs. Liu’s words indeed made everyone feel strange!
However, Mr. Mu didn’t take it to heart, he instructed everyone, "Don’t mind her, if she doesn’t come, we’ll eat on our own!
Our Old Mu Family won’t be dividing dishes or meals anymore, eat whatever you want, as much as you want!" frёeωebɳovel.com
In previous years, everyone tightened their belts to save money to support the big house.
Now the big house wife is ungrateful, continuously giving them everything while suffering themselves, really makes you no different from a fool!
With Mr. Mu’s words, no one paid attention to whether Old Mrs. Mu was missing.
Each one picked up their bowl, quickly ran to the kitchen—
Those using hands, used hands; those using chopsticks, used chopsticks. Mu Danian was the smartest, picking up his bowl and scooping from the pot.
A full bowl of rice ended up in his bowl.
The Old Mu Family’s meal had always been cooked together with white rice, sweet potatoes, and greens. Once cooked, the rice wasn’t distributed very evenly.
Everyone wanted rice, and no one wanted sweet potatoes and wild vegetables!
Mu Dazhong and Mrs. Lin watched Mu Danian with wide eyes, using hands, using chopsticks, but couldn’t beat this Fifth Brother, indeed, they had to learn from him!
The couple sped up, quickly each filled a large bowl with white rice.
The two of the fourth branch were not this greedy, they mixed rice, sweet potatoes, and wild vegetables equally, and then served the children food.
They weren’t the last; the last were Mu Dazhong and Mrs. Lin, because Gou Dan was still young, they had to serve him first!
After serving the food, it was time to eat the dishes. Since no one was dividing the dishes, everyone helped themselves eagerly, as if released from a hungry prison, pouring anything slightly meaty into their bowls without reservation.
The speed was astonishing! fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Mr. Mu was the slowest among the group, when he went to the kitchen to serve food, there was only a bit of greens and half a sweet potato left in the big iron pot.
Mr. Mu’s face stiffened, but he ultimately didn’t utter a word of blame!
To be able to eat is a blessing, the children eating is no different from him eating!
Mr. Mu consoled himself internally, prepared to go to the dining hall, but the table in the dining hall didn’t have any dishes left to pick from.
The only plate of greens was scattered and messy.
"Dad, we’re full, eat slowly!" Mu Dazhong patted his stomach with satisfaction.
"Dad, I’m full too. I’ll head back now. As for the dishes, I won’t wash them, Fourth Sister-in-law said she’d do it!"
After speaking, Mrs. Lin, with her rounded belly, walked out of the dining hall.
Mr. Mu looked at the sweet potato and wild vegetables in his bowl, then at the messy dish bowls on the table, and then thought of the lazy look of the second house and Fifth when they left!
Mr. Mu sighed deeply, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in his left chest!
Mrs. Liu wasn’t heartless seeing Mr. Mu in such pity, so she said, "Dad, I’ll make an egg soup for you, don’t eat the table dishes!"
Mr. Mu waved his hand, "It’s okay, Dad is fine! You go first, I’ll clean up after I finish eating!"
"Dad, no, you’re the head of the family, leave the cleaning to the women! Call me when you’re done eating, I’ll be in my own room!" Mrs. Liu said.
Mr. Mu nodded sullenly.
When the fourth branch left too, Mr. Mu felt his nose was somewhat sore.
He was getting older, he never thought he’d experience so many unhappy things, sons being immature, greedy, selfish!
Daughters-in-law being stingy, Mr. Mu even worried that after he died, there might not be anyone to burn incense or observe Qingming.
At that time, he probably wouldn’t rest in peace even in death!
"Ah... hate!" Mr. Mu murmured.
Internally, he was almost at a loss for words due to the discomfort.
"Dad... Dad..."
Mu Dashan’s voice came from outside the dining hall.
Mr. Mu quickly wiped his tears, picked up a piece of sweet potato from his bowl and took a bite.
When Mu Dashan came in, he asked with a smile, "Old Third, why are you here? Want to eat here?"
Mu Dashan shook his head, "Dad, I’ve come to take you to eat with us, yesterday Shuangshuang caught a few fish, today Fourth has made grilled fish she taught, we thought of taking you over to try it!"
Listening to Mu Dashan’s words, Mr. Mu felt a warm flow pass through his heart.
But driven by pride, he still shook his head to refuse.
"Ah, you child, why didn’t you say earlier, I just finished eating, you see, this sweet potato I really can’t eat anymore, only took a bite!
Your Fourth Sister-in-law’s cooking is really good, Dad ate three bowls today!"
Mr. Mu lying through his teeth made Mu Dashan feel terrible.
Just before, Fourth came to find him, said Dad hadn’t eaten, and told him about what Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian did!
Mu Dashan just hadn’t eaten yet, that’s why he came to fetch him!
"Eating three bowls can still eat one more! Dad, just come over with us, I’ve come all this way, Fourth Sister-in-law is waiting! This noon, Xiao Han, Little Zhi, Yuanbao, and Mr. Luo Bai are all there, it’s quite lively!"
Mr. Mu couldn’t counter Mu Dashan’s persistence, ultimately he went with Mu Dashan to the Third Branch of the Mu Family.
Everyone from the third branch was present, except Shuangshuang wasn’t!
Mr. Mu knew she had gone to town alone.
"Old Third, now with that boy from Old Lu Family not around, if you have time, also go to town to accompany, accompany Shuangshuang, a young girl, being bullied outside, what would we do?"
This was the first time Mr. Mu actively showed concern for Mu Shuangshuang.
This made Mu Dashan very happy.
His face was beaming with smiles, "Dad, I’ve talked to Shuangshuang about this, she wouldn’t let me!
Says matters outside aren’t troublesome, she goes every few days to check accounts, look at the business situation. Those matters, I’m not proficient in, it’s better to be in the village, watching over the school for her!"
"Shuangshuang is right, you wouldn’t be able to help, going then and adding trouble wouldn’t be good!" Mr. Mu nodded quickly.
"Yes, Dad, let’s go inside now, hurry up and eat!" Mu Dashan said.
Mr. Mu nodded, then spoke again, "Actually Shuangshuang is really quite impressive, from having nothing to now, she’s brought honor to our Old Mu Family!"
