Free Web NovelChapter 1347: Chapter 1342: Mu Xiaxia Is Disliked
Mu Dade brought Qin Xianglan to an inn near their house.
He didn’t go upstairs himself but instructed the attendant to let Qin Xianglan rest well for a night.
This kind of Mu Dade still seemed like a gentleman.
However, when he proposed that Qin Xianglan stay alone, everything took on a different flavor!
Even if it doesn’t happen this time, it’s bound to happen sooner or later!
Mu Dade returned to the house and happened to meet Mu Yingying who was coming out to pour water.
Seeing Mu Dade, Mu Yingying’s chat box opened up.
"Dad, with so many people, how are we supposed to sleep! Look at this house, it’s crowded with people!
Especially in the room with me and Sister, that Mu Xiaxia, do you know how dirty she is? On such a hot day, she didn’t even bathe, she stinks all over!"
The private matters of a daughter shouldn’t be discussed with her father, but Mu Yingying just couldn’t help it.
Mu Dade was already thinking about Qin Xianglan.
Hearing Mu Yingying talk like this made him even more irritated.
"Alright, it’s just a few nights, in a few days, I’ll go to the government office for business, once I get paid, we’ll get a bigger house!"
Getting a bigger house was impossible.
Mu Dade was now wishing the house were smaller, that way, it could drive away these pests of Old Mu Family!
"But Dad, I can’t hold out for these few nights, let Mu Xiaxia stay in the main hall, I can’t stand it!"
Mu Yingying was still whining, her voice getting louder and louder.
Mu Dade worried she’d call over others, and then someone might find out Qin Xianglan wasn’t there.
"Alright, calm down, Xiaxia is your sister, if you really can’t stand it, go stay at the inn yourself!"
Mu Dade finished speaking, Mu Yingying stomped her feet and angrily returned to her room.
As soon as Mu Yingying left, Mu Dade quickly went back to his room.
Closing the door, he walked a few steps over to Mrs. Jin’s side, and pressing onto Mrs. Jin, began to do indescribable things.
Mrs. Jin, after resting a while since coming back, had recovered quite a bit of energy, and the two hadn’t been up to no good for some time.
At this time, they stirred up thoughts.
Mu Dade pressed on Mrs. Jin, but in his mind, Qin Xianglan’s shy smile kept appearing.
Thinking, gradually Mrs. Jin’s face turned into another woman’s face.
Mu Dade became even more vigorous.
In the big room, sounds of men and women doing big things came out...
Next door, Old Mrs. Mu’s face was completely black.
"That whore, really shameless, just came back and wants to drain my son!
Poor my son, being occupied by this woman for so many years, I, as his mother..."
Old Mrs. Mu cursed while patting the bed under her.
Mr. Mu looked embarrassed.
He wanted to scold Old Mrs. Mu but was afraid of being too loud and letting the neighbors hear.
He had no choice but to close his eyes and pretend to sleep!
...
Three people in Mu Dandan’s room were also unable to sleep.
Mu Yingying, after complaining to Mu Dade without getting the care she deserved, went into the room to start trouble with Mu Xiaxia.
Mu Xiaxia was from the fourth house, which had always been doing poorly, what they ate, wore, and used naturally couldn’t compare to the big house.
"Mu Xiaxia, even though you’re our cousin, you must know your place!
If it weren’t for my dad saying so, I wouldn’t have let you into my and my sister’s room!" Mu Yingying blurted.
Mu Xiaxia felt a bit sad, her eyes reddening, but she didn’t dare to confront Mu Yingying, even less refute Mu Yingying.
"Yingying, it’s getting late, let’s sleep!" Mu Dandan spoke.
"Not sleeping, how to sleep? The room stinks, Sis, can’t you smell it?" Mu Yingying asked.
"Yingying, how can you talk like that about Xiaxia? Isn’t it just not bathing? Isn’t it just sweat smell? Just bear it, what’s the big deal?" Mu Dandan intentionally spoke loudly.
She seemed to be helping Mu Xiaxia, but in fact, she wasn’t at all.
Mu Xiaxia couldn’t take it anymore, the obvious and hidden mocking, rushing out of Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying’s room.
Once she left, Mu Dandan quickly said, "Close the door, close the door, don’t let her in again!"
Mu Yingying rushed over barefoot to close the door, as if being late for a moment, Mu Xiaxia would come back in!
After closing the door, Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying put on a pretense of fanning the air with their hands.
"Too smelly, smells the same as when that awful girl was around!
You wonder what our dad is thinking? Bringing such poor relatives into our house, later, we won’t even be able to invite friends over!" Mu Yingying said.
"What else to think, just think like that! Originally, I thought us two having a room was good enough, who knew they’d add such a smelly thing!"
Mu Dandan sighed as well.
Two young girls loudly talked about all of Mu Xiaxia’s faults.
All the faults of Old Mu Family’s other members.
This made Mu Xiaxia sitting outside the door, already starting to cry, feel even more despair.
She wanted to say, she didn’t actually want not to bathe, she had her period and couldn’t touch cold water.
Her eldest uncle’s house did boil hot water, they did, but once the ones in front used it, all of it was gone.
When it was her turn, only a little bit of cold water was left.
She wanted to boil it herself, but her second aunt wouldn’t allow her...
All sorts of reasons concluded in Mu Xiaxia becoming the one disliked.
Mu Xiaxia didn’t know that even if she bathed today, she’d still be disliked.
Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying simply didn’t like her.
As she cried to the point of breathlessness, a shadow appeared before her.
Once the shadow spoke, Mu Xiaxia knew who it was.
"Xiaxia, don’t cry..." Mu Dajiang sobbed while calling his daughter’s name.
Mu Xiaxia got up and plunged into Mu Dajiang’s arms.
"Dad, I want to go back, I miss Mom!" Mu Xiaxia cried.
"Dear, Dad knows, but right now your mom can’t come, wait for a while longer, wait till your auntie’s body heals, she’ll come!" Mu Dajiang gently patted his daughter’s back, comforting his daughter.
"But, Dad, when Mom comes, where will we live? In the main hall? Dad, let’s go back to Er Gui Village, find Sister Shuangshuang, I don’t want to be a city girl anymore!" Mu Xiaxia cried.
"Xiaxia, be sensible, do you know why Mom and Dad brought you to the county? It’s to let you rely on your Uncle’s status to marry well.
Mom and Dad have worked as peasants for most of our lives, can’t let you do the same!"
"Dad..." Mu Xiaxia really wanted to say, she didn’t want to be any city girl, nor marry a city man.
She just wanted the family to be together.
But...
She knew, even if she said it, her dad wouldn’t listen!
After comforting Mu Xiaxia, a little time had passed.
Mu Dajiang thickened his skin, knocked on Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying’s door.
But after knocking for a while, there was no response, Mu Dajiang couldn’t help but say, "Dan Dan, Yingying, are you asleep?"
