Mu Danian let out a miserable scream, and his face instantly turned pale, with beads of sweat as big as peas rolling down his forehead.
But the people of the Old Mu Family, in their eyes and hearts, were all filled with the pitiful Mu Xiangxiang crying on the kang.
Old Mrs. Mu climbed onto the kang, calling out to Mu Xiangxiang with "sweetheart, my darling, mom's treasure," in a heart-wrenching way that made one feel sorry just to watch.
Mr. Mu, with a flushed face and bulging eyes, angrily demanded: "Shuang, what the heck are you doing? What right do you have to hit your aunt?"
"She deserves it! Who told her to snatch Little Zhi's things and even hit Little Zhi."
Mu Shuangshuang glared fiercely at Mu Xiangxiang, who shrunk back into Old Mrs. Mu's embrace in fright.
"But you can't beat your aunt so badly, can you? After all, she's your elder," Mr. Mu continued to scold, clearly intending to side with Mu Xiangxiang.
