"How’s Gou Dan?"
Mu Dashan didn’t care to say anything else, his eyes fixed intently on the fallen Gou Dan with a face full of concern!
"I don’t know, Shuangshuang is res–" Lu Yuanfeng uttered, his gaze also falling on Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang was nearly in despair by then.
There was still not a single sign of improvent from Gou Dan.
And even worse, Mu Shuangshuang feared that this might really be the end for him.
Initially, Mu Shuangshuang lightly pressed on Gou Dan’s chest, but now she was resorting to slapping.
"Ah, she’s hitting my son, she’s hitting my son..." Mrs. Lin scread.
The gazes from those around toward Mu Shuangshuang grew increasingly skeptical.
Mu Shuangshuang continued to follow her steps, doing what she needed to do one step at a ti.
Just as she was about to give up, Gou Dan’s body twitched, and he spat out half a mouthful of water.
Then ca several more mouthfuls.
His bulging belly gradually deflated as the water was expelled.
Upon regaining consciousness, Gou Dan hadn’t fully recovered his senses but stared at Mu Shuangshuang for a while before saying, "It was you, you pushed in the water, you nasty girl, you’re so awful!"
His words startled not only those present but even Mu Shuangshuang herself!
Lu Yuanfeng’s face turned beetroot-red with anger!
"Your wicked talent for slander isn’t small, if it wasn’t for Shuangshuang just now, you’d be dead!"
Lu Yuanfeng, who never argued with the Old Mu Family, now engaged in an argunt.
And it was with a half-grown child!
"Tsk tsk tsk, how ungrateful! So awful! Calling your savior your enemy, if we weren’t all here today, Shuangshuang would surely have been blad!"
"Had I known, I wouldn’t have saved him. This child is ill-mannered, if he had just died, it would’ve been better!"
"Exactly, keeping him around is a disaster! I won’t let my son play with soone like this!"
"Hey, how did the second branch of the Old Mu Family raise this child? Not teaching him is the father’s fault!"
The village people all chid in with varying opinions, speaking loudly.
Every single word reached Mr. Mu’s ears, nearly causing his chest to explode with anger.
Mrs. Lin still chid in, "Children don’t lie, Shuang, did you first push Gou Dan into the river, then deliberately pretend to co back and rescue him by coincidence?"
"You’re talking nonsense! Lin Xiaozao, if you slander one more ti, I’ll tear your mouth apart!"
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t care about her image anymore!
She had painstakingly saved soone, and not only did she not get any thanks, she was falsely accused by a little brat and saddled with such a heavy burden.
"Why... why are you swearing? Mom, the nasty girl is swearing at you!" Mrs. Lin’s head turned quickly, imdiately putting the bla on Mu Shuangshuang.
Old Mrs. Mu was just about to scold Mu Shuangshuang when Mr. Mu stopped her!
"If you dare say one word, I’ll divorce you!"
Old Mrs. Mu was cowed into silence, not saying a single word.
Unable to take it anymore, a woman stepped up.
"I was cutting fish grass on the dike and didn’t see Shuang appear, but I did see your son playing with water by the edge and falling in on his own! You people are being unreasonable, your hearts are just black!"
"You’re talking nonsense, it was the nasty girl who pushed him, my son wouldn’t lie!" Mrs. Lin persisted!
Because at this point, if the incident was insisted to be related to Mu Shuangshuang, they might be able to get so compensation money!
"Mr. Mu, as the head of the house, why aren’t you saying anything? People might think the second branch’s wife has taken charge!"
"Exactly, even though the third branch has separated, Shuangshuang is still your granddaughter. You’ve been too biased, we don’t want to associate with the Old Mu Family any longer!"
The villagers spoke plainly, directing this fire toward Mr. Mu.
Mr. Mu coughed several tis before angrily saying, "Second, you and your wife, go back ho!
And Gou Dan, don’t think because you almost drowned, you can spew nonsense, today’s matter won’t be forgiven!"
Having said that, he continued towards Mu Shuangshuang: "Shuang, what you did today, Grandpa rembers, I will also punish Gou Dan’s mistake!"
Mu Shuangshuang glanced at Mr. Mu, having no hope in her heart!
"No need, the villagers have already given justice! I believe good begets good, evil begets evil, I have a clear conscience with what I did!"
Then Mu Shuangshuang turned to Mu Dashan: "Dad, I think we can expel Gou Dan! You won’t have to babysit him anymore without getting anything in return!"
Mu Shuangshuang thought she treated Gou Dan well, letting his tuition go unpaid for so long!
Every noon, he would eat with them at Luo Bai’s.
Chicken, duck, fish, all sorts of dishes, he was never stopped!
But with not an ounce of gratitude, he dared to falsely accuse her now!
Just recalling the first words from Gou Dan’s mouth made her feel sick!
Mu Dashan nodded, "Leave this to !"
This ti, Mu Dashan wouldn’t soften!
What happened right under everyone’s eyes, Gou Dan dared to lie, this child, might be rotten from the root!
He can no longer go to school, or he will lead other kids astray!
At this point, the Old Mu Family didn’t know that because of this one incident,
the entire village’s children were warned not to play with Gou Dan!
For those whose families hadn’t said anything, even Yuanbao warned them!
No one wanted to be friends with Gou Dan anymore!
As for Mrs. Lin and Mu Dazhong, after returning, they cried endlessly, until Mr. Mu had a big headache.
"Cry, cry, cry, your son isn’t dead, is he?" Mr. Mu asked loudly.
"Gou Dan isn’t dead, but he was scared, you don’t know, I brought Gou Dan inside to sleep, he cried and said he’s scared, said every ti he closes his eyes, he sees that nasty girl’s ferocious face!
Dad, we can’t let this go, we need to get compensation from that nasty girl!"
Mu Dazhong cried as he spoke.
"Mu Dazhong, have you gone mad? Your son fell into the water by himself, Shuang rescued Gou Dan, and you want her to compensate?"
Mr. Mu could barely hold his smoking pipe!
"Dad, that’s what outsiders are saying, I don’t believe it, I only trust what my son says!"
"You’re not even a decent person, if you want to cause trouble for Shuang, you won’t be going to the county either, you’ll be stuck here doing farm work for life!"
Mr. Mu declared his decision.
Unsurprisingly, it incited Mu Dazhong’s outcry.
"Dad, if you’re going to say that, I’m powerless, that nasty girl dared to touch my son, she should know the kind of person I am!
I won’t talk to you anymore, I’m going to cause her trouble now!"
Finishing his words, Mu Dazhong pulled Mrs. Lin and was about to head to the third branch!
