Mu Shuangshuang's words carried a slight hint of reproach toward Mu Dashan. Despite Mrs. Jin's obvious bullying, Mu Dashan not only did not resist but wanted to drag his sickly body to accommodate those oddities.
Although Shuangshuang understood in her heart that Mu Dashan's treatment of surrounding relatives wasn't wrong if viewed with ancient thinking. The eldest brother is like a father, the eldest sister-in-law like a mother — what the eldest sister-in-law says is not much different from Old Mrs. Mu's words.
But she, Mu Shuangshuang, was not from ancient times; she couldn't stand seeing her family being bullied and still having to smile. She preferred an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
"Shuangshuang, don't be angry. Your elder aunt doesn't have any other intentions. She just wants me to finish the chores early so we can quickly get the money from selling the rice. Your uncle is relying on that silver for the Autumn Examination," Mu Dashan comforted Shuangshuang.
