That terrifying appearance of Gao Cuihua, even now, Mu Danian thinks of it and has nightmares.
In his whole life, he hasn’t seen a woman uglier than Gao Cuihua. Asking him to marry Gao Cuihua is simply a dream!
"Whether she’s ugly or not, I don’t know. What I do know is, soone specifically nad her to be Fifth Uncle’s wife!
If Fifth Uncle agrees, the Gao Family’s fifty taels of silver will be written off. The wedding costs won’t be a cent from the Old Mu Family, saving quite a bit of trouble!" Mu Shuangshuang tried hard to suppress her laughter and spoke earnestly.
Mu Danian felt as though he had eaten sothing disgusting, utterly repulsed.
Not to ntion waiving the debt for the Old Mu Family, he wouldn’t want that ugly woman even if given fifty taels of silver for free!
Unless Mu Danian is dead!
"You’re lying, you stinky girl... You’re trying to scare , I tell you, I, Mu Danian, am not easily scared!"
Mu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "If it’s scaring, just ask my grandparents. They’re all still here!"
Mu Danian, hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words, urgently asked his parents.
"Dad, Mom, you’re not really thinking of letting marry that ugly woman like this stinky girl says, are you?"
Mu Danian repeatedly used the term "ugly woman," fully conveying his disdain for Gao Cuihua.
If Old Mrs. Mu had been hesitant about letting Mu Danian marry Gao Cuihua the previous night, she was no longer in doubt now.
She just wanted her son to marry that ugly woman Gao Cuihua and then kick out that little harlot Chen Hong!
"You can choose not to marry, but from now on, our Old Mu Family won’t let you set foot here, I, the old woman, will sever mother-son ties with you, beast!"
Old Mrs. Mu shouted.
"Mom, you haven’t seen that Gao Cuihua. Letting marry her... Isn’t that practically asking to die? How can you bear to see your son suffer a lifeti of pain?" Mu Danian asked.
"Hmph! Even if you die, you must marry Gao Cuihua. Otherwise, pack up now and roll away with that little harlot Chen Hong!"
Old Mrs. Mu had only one thought left in her mind, and that was revenge!
Whoever displeases her, she wants to destroy them!
Seeing Old Mrs. Mu agitated, Mu Danian turned to ask Mr. Mu.
"Dad, you’ve seen that Gao Cuihua, how can you bear to push your son into the fire pit? That ugly woman not only shas your son but will disgrace the Old Mu Family too!"
Mu Danian is all about appearances; he wants either a beautiful or nicely built wife.
Gao Cuihua didn’t fit either, so he would absolutely never accept.
Mr. Mu coughed softly, hesitated, then spoke, "Fifth... this is just a temporary plan between your mother and . You’ve seen those people outside the yard, not letting our Old Mu Family in or out.
Your elder brother is missing, so your mother and I are thinking maybe you temporarily marry her. If you dislike her later, you can divorce, what do you think..."
"Dad, what do you an? Would you take an ugly woman if it were you? You say whatever you want, I’m absolutely not marrying that ugly woman, even if it kills , I won’t marry!"
Mu Danian angrily left Mr. Mu’s room.
Instead of returning to his own room, he headed to the front yard, thinking his room was destroyed, and now he’s being forced to marry an ugly woman, better to hide away for a few days.
If the Gao Family can’t see him, they naturally won’t force him to marry that ugly woman.
Plan set, Mu Danian headed towards the gate but was stopped by several burly n before he could leave.
"No one from the Old Mu Family is allowed to leave!" said one of the n.
"Brother, it’s like this... My family has run out of firewood, and my mom asked to go out and collect so firewood. I’ll be right back, you could make an exception, right?"
Mu Danian made a respectful gesture to the man, looking all courteous.
But the man remained unmoved.
Still refusing to budge: "No way, everyone said mbers of the Old Mu Family are not allowed in or out, why say these things?"
The man’s attitude was poor, and no matter how much Mu Danian pleaded, they wouldn’t let him out.
Mu Danian got angry and loudly asked, "Why can the people from the third branch co and go as they please? Why can’t I?"
"Hmph, they’ve separated from the family, have you?" The man sneered.
Mu Danian wanted to say more but then saw the man pick up a stone from the ground and threaten Mu Danian: "If you keep babbling, I’ll break your leg!"
The man’s fierce appearance clearly looked anything but joking.
Mu Danian swallowed his saliva, forced back with no choice.
He gave a resentful glance at the n blocking his family’s gate, spat heavily on the ground, and went elsewhere.
Courtyard walls, gates, even rooftops, wherever he could think of, all were guarded.
Then asked to leave!
Mu Danian was going mad, he couldn’t stay there at all.
——
Mu Shuangshuang left the Old Mu Family main residence, returning to her own ho. Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen had not returned yet.
The children had gone to school.
So of the n ate the stead buns made by Yu Si Niang, drank a few bowls of cold water, and spiritedly resud guarding.
When Mu Shuangshuang and Mu Dashan returned, the n affectionately greeted Mu Shuangshuang.
That scene showed they had beco familiar with the third branch.
After the greetings, Mu Shuangshuang had breakfast herself.
Once breakfast was done, Mu Dashan went off to take care of things at the school, and Yu Si Niang went to look after the fields.
Mu Shuangshuang stayed ho again, doing her best with whatever tasks she could manage.
At this mont, in Gao Village, at Gao Tiezhu’s ho.
A day and a night, that’s the ti Gao Tiezhu’s people have spent in Er Gui Village.
At this point, Gao Cuihua grew impatient.
She brought so food from ho for Gao Tiezhu and eagerly asked, "Dad, it’s been so long, why hasn’t the Old Mu Family co to propose yet?"
Gao Cuihua waited since January, now into the scorching sumr days.
Just waiting for Mu Danian to marry her, ti had almost passed half a year, and if her family didn’t make a move, she’d go mad.
Gao Tiezhu, also of an impatient nature, mumbled to himself, "True, now should be about the ti to compromise. In the past, pressing like this, the matter would be resolved the sa day!"
For years, Gao Tiezhu lived by lending money to those in need, pressing them when ti was up.
If they didn’t pay, he’d first surround their house to prevent coming in or out.
Then have soone snatch their girls, either sell to brothels or give to rough n without wives.
Once, soone was forced to hang themselves because their daughter was sold to a brothel.
No matter how tough the man, Gao Tiezhu had encountered them all.
But this endurance from the Old Mu Family, Mu Danian was a first.
"Dad, could it be that Mu Danian finds ugly and refuses to marry ?" Gao Cuihua couldn’t help but think!
