CHAPTER 136: CHAPTER 136 STRENGTH SLAPS IN THE FACE (SECOND UPDATE)

"Hey, how can you talk like that, girl? Matchmaker Sun was invited by my old wife, it’s not up to you to tell her to leave."

Old Mrs. Mu interjected authoritatively at Mu Shuangshuang.

"Exactly, old sister-in-law, I came only because I heard Shuang has been behaving well lately. Otherwise, with her stinky and dirty looks, who in the village would be interested?"

Matchmaker Sun lifted her chin, placed her hands on her hips, and thrust her chest in Mu Shuangshuang’s direction.

She thought: Who does this smelly girl think she is? No looks, no family background, yet dares to look down on the match I propose.

"Matchmaker Sun, my grandma asked you to propose a match, not to pick and choose, if you want someone good-looking, marry them yourself.

Wang San surely fancy your type. Anyway, my marriage is up to my parents, not for an outsider like you to comment on."

Mu Shuangshuang bluntly refused; no way would she marry.

"I spit! Saying you’re fat, you start panting. You don’t even deserve Wang San, not even that lame dog from the Wang San family.

Look at your feeble appearance, not sure if you could bear children, you’re just a hen that won’t lay eggs, nobody wants."

Matchmaker Sun cursed out loud; as a matchmaker, she relied on her connections with the neighboring villages and knowing whose kids have good or bad reputations.

Thus, she liked treating girls from bad backgrounds and timid personalities like livestock when arranging marriages.

Mu Shuangshuang has always been seen as easy to bully over the years, hence Matchmaker Sun dared to provoke her.

Unfortunately, Mu Shuangshuang isn’t the timid type; whoever dares to insult her, she’ll tear their mouth apart.

Mu Shuangshuang stepped forward and slapped Matchmaker Sun across the face, shattering her eardrum.

Matchmaker Sun let out a wail and then cried out, "Oh dear, murder, the smelly girl is committing murder..."

Matchmaker Sun yelled at the top of her lungs while flailing her hands wildly in Mu Shuangshuang’s direction, but Shuangshuang grasped both of her hands.

Taking advantage of the moment, Shuangshuang yanked Matchmaker Sun’s hair back hard, exposing her face slathered with heavy powder and lip oil.

So much powder fell off with Mu Shuangshuang’s actions.

Utterly disgusting.

Mu Shuangshuang raised her hand and slapped Matchmaker Sun’s food-eating mouth repeatedly.

"Teach your filthy mouth a lesson, of course, you’ve insulted many young girls, today I won’t tear apart your mouth."

Dozens of slaps later, Matchmaker Sun’s mouth swelled like a pig’s snout, with the red lip oil smeared all over her face, turning into a palette.

Matchmaker Sun emitted horrid screams as if her scalp had been torn off, her mouth no longer hers, her entire body stinging painfully.

Matchmaker Sun attempted to resist, but she was no match for Mu Shuangshuang, who, despite her slender figure, had become stronger from eating well and exercising regularly, easily overpowering the blusterous Matchmaker Sun.

The long-stunned Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu finally regained their senses.

Mr. Mu stepped forward to try pulling Mu Shuangshuang’s hand away, but after several attempts, he couldn’t.

"You smelly girl, let go! You dare to touch Matchmaker Sun; who would dare to propose a match for you in the future?"

Old Mrs. Mu joined Mr. Mu in pulling, but neither could loosen Mu Shuangshuang’s grip; she simply kicked Matchmaker Sun to the ground and sat on her, continuing the beating.

"Stop! I command you to stop!" Mr. Mu spoke sternly.

"Mrs. Lin, call for Old Third, let her see her wonderful daughter."

Mrs. Lin, who was peeking from the doorway to watch the spectacle, had just stepped one foot inside when Mr. Mu caught her, reluctantly drew back her foot, and just before she retreated, Mu Shuangshuang shouted loudly.

"Who’s going? You all think my dad’s life is too long, right?"

Mr. Mu’s order was to have Old Third discipline Shuangshuang, completely oblivious to the fact that Little Zhi had previously mentioned Old Third coughing up blood.

Having been reprimanded by Shuangshuang, he suddenly remembered, but to revoke his words would undermine his authority as the head of the family.

"Mrs. Lin, hurry and go!"

Another scolding, Mrs. Lin turned to leave, but then she saw Mu Dashan, supported by Xiao Han, coming in.

Mu Dashan appeared pallid, his whole being like a frail old tree vine.

It seemed he exerted much effort getting out of bed, now with his body drenched as if fished out of the water.

He headed directly towards Mu Shuangshuang, every step taken seemed to endure immense pain.

Seeing the scene inside the hall room, his cold sweat broke out all over; Mu Shuangshuang sat atop Matchmaker Sun’s belly, mercilessly beating her.

Behind her, Old Mrs. Mu held a wrist-thick stick, ready to hit Shuangshuang hard.

"Mother, don’t, don’t! We the third branch want to split away, don’t hit Shuang!"

"Sister, watch out!" Xiao Han also shouted.

The stick swung over with a swift breeze, Mu Shuangshuang felt something flash by her back head; she dodged aside, and the stick landed right on Matchmaker Sun’s chest.

"Ah..." Matchmaker Sun cried out, then clutched her chest, shaking her body non-stop like dancing on the ground, energetically.

With considerable force behind that swing, Old Mrs. Mu’s blow on anyone could leave them bedridden for three days, let alone the unguarded Matchmaker Sun.

Old Mrs. Mu was stunned; the stick dropped to the ground with a clatter.

"It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me who hit her..." She clearly aimed for the smelly girl, how did it hit Matchmaker Sun?

By now, Matchmaker Sun started convulsing on the ground.

Mu Shuangshuang shouted at the top of her lungs. "Grandma’s killing, killing someone..."

Old Mrs. Mu trembled violently, terrified all over, as if the person died...

"What are you standing around for, Old Second, take her to the doctor, if anything happens to her, the Old Mu Family is done for."

Mu Dazhong roused by Mr. Mu, squatted down and picked up Matchmaker Sun, then dashed out of the hall room.

Mr. Mu walked up to Mu Shuangshuang, speaking sternly.

"Kneel!"

Who would’ve thought, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t budge at all; she looked at Mr. Mu and chuckled.

"Grandpa promised Shuangshuang in town that Shuangshuang won’t be sold. Does Grandpa’s promise still hold?"

"How does it not, but it was Old Third who signed the agreement, it should be observed."

With one sentence, Mr. Mu shirked all responsibility onto Mu Dashan.

Watching this, Mu Dashan shuddered, nearly collapsing, Mu Family’s Fourth Mu Dajiang stepped forward and supported Mu Dashan.

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle!" Mu Shuangshuang witnessed this scene and expressed her gratitude outright.

"Grandpa clearly knows my dad wouldn’t do such a thing; it was all orchestrated by Aunt. Shuangshuang doesn’t want to say any more, just wants us the third branch to split away according to my dad’s wish."
