Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 153: Beat You Two To Death

Tang Moling thought that he was being careful and kept a low profile, but as soon as he stepped into the Shao Residence, word of his arrival started spreading.

“Isn’t that Mu Xue’s ex-fiancé, Tang Moling? Why is he here? He didn’t go to the Mu Residence but to the Shao Residence? To find Mu Jingzhe?”

“Let’s go to the Mu Residence and ask.”

The news quickly spread to the Mu Residence and reached Mu Xue and Old Lady Mu’s ears.

Meanwhile, at the Shao Residence, Tang Moling’s sudden appearance gave Mu Jingzhe a shock. “Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you not to come on a whim?”

“Why can’t I just come here? I didn’t do anything wrong. Surely they can’t hit me?” Tang Moling retorted.

Mu Jingzhe lowered her voice, but it was filled with warning. “Are you crazy, Tang Moling? Have you forgotten my warning? Do you think I should die sooner? Do you think there aren’t enough people scolding me and gossiping about me?”

“It’s not as bad as you make it out to be.” Tang Moling was also anxious. “Although I was engaged to her, we were not married yet. Even if we were married, there’s also such a thing as divorce these days. It’s not like I can’t get married after I’ve been engaged once, right? Surely I can’t be expected to remain unmarried forever? I have to get married eventually.”

“You can get married, but you can’t have anything to do with me, do you understand?” Mu Jingzhe was exasperated. While looking at Tang Moling’s expression, she still felt a little disillusioned. “Are you really done with Mu Xue? You’re not messing with me?”

The male and female protagonists had completely fallen out. What kind of weird development was this?

“How could I be messing with you?” Tang Moling approached Mu Jingzhe. “Mu Jingzhe, can you treat my feelings seriously? I’ve already told you that the person I like now is you.”

He could ignore Ji Buwang, but Mu Jingzhe hadn’t forgotten. “Does your uncle know that you’re doing this? He told me to tell him if you dare mess around again.”

Tang Moling stiffened. “Don’t mention Uncle. Just look at me. I know you’re not a materialistic person. Even if I don’t have the status of an heir, you won’t despise me. I’ll work hard on my own, so I want you to only look at me and consider me seriously.”

“No, I can’t consider you at all. Tang Moling, even if it’s impossible for you and Mu Xue to be together, it’s not possible for you and me to be together either. Hurry up and leave. If anyone sees this, I’ll get in trouble…”

“It’s not that bad. Mu Jingzhe, don’t make excuses. If the villagers dare to say anything, let them come at me. I’m not afraid. It’s not like they can beat me and you up…”

Before Tang Moling could finish his sentence, Old Lady Mu’s furious voice was heard from outside. “I thought I’d heard wrong. I didn’t expect… I’m going to beat you adulterous pair to death.”

Hearing the commotion, Tang Moling turned around and saw Old Lady Mu throw something at him.

Old Lady Mu had been watering the vegetables when she’d heard that Tang Moling had arrived and had gone to look for Mu Jingzhe. She’d immediately run over with a bucket in her hand.

Tang Moling couldn’t avoid it in time, and the bucket landed on his head with a bang.

By the time he removed the bucket in a fluster, Old Lady Mu had already rushed toward Mu Jingzhe with red eyes. “Mu Jingzhe, you’re really shameless. As if it wasn’t enough that you’ve been stealing Xiao Xue’s things since you were young, now you’re stealing Xiao Xue’s man. I’ll beat you to death today.”

“Calm down, I didn’t…” Mu Jingzhe helplessly explained while hiding.

But how could Old Lady Mu listen to her? “Mu Jingzhe, why are you so black-hearted? Why did you still try to snatch him when they were already engaged? You’re so shameless. If I had known earlier, I would have drowned you when you were born so that you wouldn’t harm Xiao Xue…”

Tang Moling looked at the deranged Old Lady Mu and then heard the nasty words that were coming out of her mouth. He looked at the people who had come to watch the commotion and were pointing at them. Only then did he realize that he had been wrong again.

He had said that there was no need for Mu Jingzhe to be so dramatic, but reality had proven that everything was exactly that bad.

Seeing that she couldn’t catch up to Mu Jingzhe, Old Lady Mu started grabbing things to throw at Mu Jingzhe. Tang Moling panicked and ran over to stop her. “Grandma, what are you doing? Calm down!”

However, he didn’t know that by stopping her, he stirred up a hornet’s nest, making Old Lady Mu even angrier. “You still dare to say she didn’t seduce you? Look at you! You adulterous pair, I swear I’ll beat you two to death today.”

Though Old Lady Mu had said that she would beat this adulterous pair to death, she picked up a broom and only threw it at Mu Jingzhe.

The broom was a hand-made bamboo broom, the kind found in every household in the village. It hurt when one was hit by such a broom. Mu Jingzhe was unable to dodge in time, so she was hit.

Mu Jingzhe’s eyes darkened when she felt the pain on her arms and face.

Mu Jingzhe was strong enough to deal with Old Lady Mu easily. However, she hadn’t done it before because she couldn’t. She was an old lady, as well as her grandmother. Something bad might happen if she hit her.

This was the reason why she hadn’t retaliated previously. However, even a good-tempered person had their breaking point. Just because she gave way didn’t mean that she would always be submissive.

Seeing that Old Lady Mu was about to hit her again, Mu Jingzhe grabbed the broom and looked at her solemnly. “That’s enough. I said that I didn’t do it. Do you not understand the human language?”

Old Lady Mu’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Mu Jingzhe’s gaze. She tried to retract the broom, but to no avail. Although she was a little apprehensive, her words were harsh. “Mu Jingzhe, don’t think that you’re in the right just because you’re strong. How dare you say you didn’t do it? If that’s true, why would he come looking for you? Why would he speak up for you? How dare you quibble even when things have come to this?”

Tang Moling was speechless. “She really didn’t do anything. Mu Jingzhe has always wanted me to be with Mu Xue. I am the one who had a change of heart. It has nothing to do with her. Don’t scold or hit her. She never seduced me.”

“Pfft.” Old Lady Mu flew into a rage when she heard that. “Do you think you can fool me? I know very well Mu Jingzhe’s character. She’s just used to snatching Xiao Xue’s things. She has not been a good person since she was young.

“She’s a thief. A dog can’t change its ways. Tang Moling, how can you be so easily fooled? Did she let you touch her or sleep with her? You’re really concerned about her. Don’t you think she’s filthy? Xiao Xue is pure and innocent. She’s a hundred times better than a filthy wretch like her…”

Old Lady Mu was filled with hatred. She blurted out all sorts of nasty words, but she didn’t see Tang Moling’s furious gaze.

Tang Moling looked at Old Lady Mu’s furious face and found it extremely foreign. Her original benevolence had disappeared, leaving only madness behind. Wasn’t she very reasonable and easy to talk to in the past? He had once admired that she didn’t value men over women, that she was a wise and farsighted old lady. That she had foresight even though she had been born in a village. But who was this old shrew that was speaking so viciously in front of him?

“You… That’s enough!” Tang Moling couldn’t take it anymore and shouted, “Old Lady Mu, take a good look. The person you’re talking about is your granddaughter, a member of the Mu Family with the same bloodline as Mu Xue! How can you say that about your granddaughter!”

“Pfft, she doesn’t deserve to be compared to Xiao Xue. She doesn’t even deserve to carry Xiao Xue’s shoes. What did I say that was wrong? Isn’t she filthy and smelly? She only wants to spread her legs when she sees a man…”

Old Lady Mu’s words came to an abrupt halt because her neck was gripped tightly.

Furious Mu Jingzhe’s eyes were filled with coldness. She restrained Old Lady Mu and prevented her from moving. “Do you think I’m a pushover because I’ve always been easy to talk to? I just didn’t want to make things difficult for my father. Just because of that, you think you can do as you please?”
