How do you say "so that"? I thought this was "mu'i", but apparently it's not.

e.g.
Why did you put the bread in the fridge?
So that it wouldn't go bad.
tezu'e would perhaps be better. The difference between mu'i and tezu'e is small but probably you use the latter when the motive is identical with achieving the goal.
