Chapter 158: Old Lady Mu Steals An Old Man’s Undershirt
Old Lady Mu treasured this big white pig very much. Most of the pigs reared in the village were black pigs. She was the only one who had a white pig. This kind of white pig was imported from overseas, and white piglets were more expensive than black piglets. However, it ate a lot, grew very quickly, and was a favorite of Old Lady Mu. She served it meticulously.
Initially, she had planned to slaughter it when Mu Xue got married. But now, Mu Xue was no longer getting married, and the big white pig was also ruined.
News of the commotion at Old Lady Mu’s house quickly spread throughout the village. When Shao Xi and Shao Nan heard it, they quickly went to look for Shao Dong’s paintbrush. Sure enough, they saw that the red one was missing.
“Big Brother, why didn’t you ask us to come along? What if you’d gotten bitten by the pig?”
Shao Dong pretended to be puzzled. “What are you talking about? What do you mean by that? I don’t get what you’re saying.”
Shao Xi: “Pretend, Big Brother. Go on pretending. Yesterday, I was wondering why you didn’t say anything. I knew you were the worst.” Shao Dong had simply let them be last night.
Yes, Shao Dong was the one who had messed with the big white pig. That was a real warning.
Since Li Zhaodi, Mu Teng, and Mu Han treated Mu Jingzhe well, they would treat them well and acknowledge them as their grandparents and uncle. However, since Old Lady Mu wouldn’t acknowledge them and treated Mommy badly, their attitude would be different.
Mommy was worried that she was an old lady and couldn’t do anything to her, so he would teach her a lesson personally.
In any case, it didn’t matter if he was discovered. He was a child after all. Children and the elderly were equal. No one would say anything.
While Shao Dong had attacked the big white pig, Shao Xi had sneakily done something else. He’d secretly stolen the undershirt drying in Old Man Wang’s yard next door and hidden it under Old Lady Mu’s pillow.
This idea was originally Shao Nan’s, who was full of bad ideas. However, Shao Nan had no intention of putting it into action because of what Mu Jingzhe had taught him previously. He’d only secretly shared it with Shao Xi.
Unexpectedly, Shao Xi was unwilling to simply let the idea remain an idea and had decided to put it into action.
Old Lady Mu hadn’t noticed it at that moment and was still angry about the big white pig. Then, she heard a commotion next door. Someone had stolen an old man’s undershirt in the village. It was baffling why the thief had chosen to steal this old undershirt, which even had a hole in the back.
Soon, Madam Mu, who was diligently cleaning up and washing Old Lady Mu’s clothes, accidentally pulled out the undershirt under her pillow. Seeing the hole in the back of the undershirt, Madam Mu let out a cry of surprise and tossed it aside.
Coincidentally, Old Man Wang’s wife had come to the Mu Residence to look for that undershirt, wanting to see if the wind had blown it there. When she heard the cry of surprise and saw the undershirt, she instantly exploded.
As soon as the truth was revealed, Old Lady Mu was beaten up by Old Man Wang’s wife for half an hour. Her scalp was nearly peeled off.
This news quickly spread throughout the entire village. No one had expected that Mu Jingzhe would actually be speaking the truth.
Previously, they had dismissed this as a joke and hadn’t taken it seriously. They hadn’t expected Old Lady Mu to be so aggressive as to steal Old Man Wang’s undershirt.
Everyone in the village was shocked. Eldest Brother Mu and Third Brother Mu were also astounded. The whole family, including Mu Xue, was left speechless by the revelation. They couldn’t look Old Lady Mu in the eye.
Third Brother Mu even said that Old Lady Mu had disgraced the Mu Family. Old Lady Mu hadn’t expected to encounter such a situation and was so angry that she lost two of her teeth. Later on, she even threatened to hang herself and commit suicide to prove her innocence. Only then did the Mu Family believe her.
However, many people in the village still gossiped about her. Old Lady Mu claimed that Mu Jingzhe had framed her, but no one believed her.
When Mu Jingzhe heard what had happened to Old Lady Mu, she thought to herself,?Serves her right. Someone like her doesn’t deserve to eat pheasants and wild hares. This is terrific.
While craving a spicy rabbit head, she said hypocritically, “Rabbits are so cute. How can you eat cute little rabbits?”
After hearing her own words, Mu Jingzhe was disgusted by herself and shut her mouth.
Mu Jingzhe was shocked by the fact that Old Lady Mu’s undershirt had been hidden under Old Lady Mu’s pillow. She hadn’t expected her casual remark to be true.
Upon hearing the gossip of the villagers, Mu Jingzhe only shook her head and didn’t rub it in.
On the other hand, Shao Dong found Shao Nan, patted his shoulder, and said without rhyme or reason, “In the future, talk with me before you do such things.”
“It wasn’t me, Big Brother. It really wasn’t me this time!”
However, Shao Dong firmly believed it was Shao Nan, as this idea reeked strongly of Shao Nan’s style. In the end, Shao Nan and Shao Xi seemed to fight and even have a small conflict.
Mu Jingzhe asked them what they were fighting over, but they refused to tell her. Mu Jingzhe could only say that they weren’t allowed to fight. Both of them agreed, and later, they somehow reconciled.
On the weekend, the five kids went to art school for lessons. When Xiao Wu saw Ji Buwang, he told him about Tang Moling visiting their home and Mommy being scolded.
“Teacher Ji, aren’t you his uncle? Can you control Uncle Tang?”
Ji Buwang looked at Xiao Wu’s blinking eyes and ground his teeth as he smiled. “Of course. Xiao Wu, I will teach him a lesson and spank his butt.”
No wonder Tang Moling had avoided him when they’d met yesterday. He must have gotten into trouble again.
Ji Buwang continued teaching Xiao Wu. After class, he smiled and said goodbye to Xiao Wu, but when he turned around, his expression changed.
When they got home, the first thing Ji Buwang told Uncle Li was, “Find Tang Moling.”
Uncle Li saw that there was something wrong with Ji Buwang’s expression and didn’t dare say too much. “Yes.”
While Ji Buwang was waiting for Tang Moling, he found a suitable tool and waited for Tang Moling to come. The first thing Tang Moling saw as he cautiously entered was Ji Buwang holding a feather duster.
Tang Moling panicked even more. “Uncle… Uncle, why have you been looking for me?”
“Judging from your expression, you know you did something wrong.”
Tang Moling swallowed his saliva and forced himself not to admit it. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Uncle…”
“You’re still pretending even now. Tang Moling, when you wanted to be in a relationship, when you wanted to get engaged, Grandfather and I never said anything. But look at what you’re doing. Is marriage a joke to you? You’re getting engaged today, and you’re canceling the engagement tomorrow. You like this today, and you like that tomorrow.
“After provoking the older cousin, why did you go on to provoke the younger cousin? You implicated Jingzhe and caused her to be scolded! Didn’t Jingzhe reject you? Do you know how scary gossip can be? Because of Jingzhe’s words, I haven’t gone to the village to look for her until now, fearing that people will gossip about her because of me. But look at what you’ve done!
“The entire village knew about your relationship with Mu Xue. After getting engaged, you broke off the engagement and even dared to look for Jingzhe at her home. Do you have a grudge against her?”
Tang Moling had been feeling guilty for the past two days and hadn’t slept well at night. “I know I was wrong, Uncle. I didn’t expect them to go so overboard. Besides, I told Old Lady Mu that I’m no longer rich and I’m not worthy of her granddaughter, who was born to be rich. She probably won’t cause any more trouble.”
Ji Buwang choked when he heard the part about someone being ‘born to be rich’. He had no idea Old Lady Mu was now eyeing him and considering him for the position of her grandson-in-law. He asked, “Have you really realized your mistake?”
“I really have. Uncle, don’t scold me anymore. I won’t go to Great Eastern Village to look for her in the future, okay?”
“Only Great Eastern Village? Are the people in Great Eastern Village rooted in Great Eastern Village? Don’t they go out?”
