From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 370: Chapter 368: Old Mrs. Mu Suffers a Setback (Second Update)

In Mr. Mu’s eyes, daughters should be obedient and sensible.

They shouldn’t have too many little secrets in their hearts.

He felt that Shuangshuang was too petty, and that the affairs of the third branch were always left to the women because the men didn’t handle them.

All these things touched on Mr. Mu’s sensitive points.

Throughout the journey, he kept his eyes on Shuangshuang, thinking that as soon as she spoke, he, as an elder, would reprimand her.

Unfortunately, Shuangshuang remained quiet all the way, not even engaging with Yu Si Niang.

Mr. Mu couldn’t find an opportunity and had to let it go for now.

As soon as they arrived at Wang Erma’s house, Mu Dazhong rushed over, and even Old Mrs. Mu couldn’t hold him back.

”Wang Erma, get out here! You dared to sell me dead pork. I’m not done with you today!”

Wang Erma had just finished breakfast, and hearing the commotion outside, he came out to find Mu Dazhong shouting at him.

And it was about that pig-selling incident again. Wang Erma’s anger flared up immediately.

”Mu Dazhong, you heartless bastard! You dare curse me? You chose those two pigs yourself, and now you want to blame me?”

”Brother Ma, don’t get me wrong. I’m putting on a show for others. You hate that brat, right? Later, you can pin this on her.”

After the quick exchange, Wang Erma’s anger subsided.

He had only one request—to teach Mu Shuangshuang a lesson and vent his resentment.

That brat made him lose half of his pork.

When Old Mrs. Mu and the other members of the Old Mu Family came rushing forward, they saw Mu Dazhong and Wang Erma cursing at each other, both looking like they had deep-seated grudges.

When Mu Dazhong charged forward, Mu Shuangshuang sensed something was wrong. She initially planned to pull Yu Si Niang away, but Mrs. Lin watched her like a hawk, moving whenever she did.

Since that was the case, she had to brace herself and face it.

”Mom, I can’t out-argue Wang Erma. You deal with him,” Mu Dazhong said, winking at Wang Erma before stepping back.

Old Mrs. Mu, hands on her hips, shouted at Wang Erma, ”Wang Erma, you shameless scoundrel, how dare you mess with the Old Mu Family? You go retrieve those two dead pigs yourself and return six hundred coins to this old lady, or I’ll make sure you face a lawsuit.”

”Oh my, the Old Mu Family really likes to bully people. What’s the deal, bringing so many folks? Are you picking on our Wang Family because there’s no one here? I’m telling you, I’m not afraid of you!”

Wang Erma stared back directly into Old Mrs. Mu’s eyes.

”Alright, you want to rebel? Second, Fifth, Fourth, tear down the Wang Family’s courtyard for me. I’ll show him just how powerful I am today,” Old Mrs. Mu commanded her sons to demolish the walls.

Mu Dazhong definitely didn’t want that, as he was counting on Wang Erma to deal with the brat.

He quickly said, ”Mom, we should just ask for the piglets nicely. Don’t tear down the walls, or we’ll have to pay for it later.”

”Old hag, don’t think you’ll get a refund from me! Everything here is sold as-is with no returns!”

Wang Erma’s arrogant attitude made Old Mrs. Mu furious.

She pointed at Wang Erma, trembling with rage.

The commotion soon attracted villagers who came to watch the ruckus.

Old Mrs. Mu suddenly felt spirited and sat on the ground, clapping her thighs dramatically.

”Oh, poor me, this old woman! I saved up six hundred coins to buy piglets, and now... now I got cheated by Wang Erma. He sold me two sick pigs, and they died soon after I took them home.”

The villagers couldn’t believe their ears, especially given Wang Erma’s aggressive reputation, so they rallied around Old Mrs. Mu like chickens on a mission.

”Wang Erma, how could you be so unscrupulous! We’re all from the same village, and six hundred coins isn’t a small amount.”

”Right, Mu Dade is going to be an official one day. Do you think you’ll have any peace after offending the Old Mu Family?”

The crowd chimed in one after another, and soon they all decided they wouldn’t buy meat from Wang Erma again.

Old Mrs. Mu looked smug, thinking they were still too naive to fight her.

Unfortunately, Wang Erma wasn’t fazed at all.

The villagers had been threatening to boycott his meat for years and still bought it anyway.

Plus, he was just setting the atmosphere, waiting for the Old Mu Family to get mad enough to point the finger at Mu Shuangshuang, and then see how she’d suffer.

”Wang Erma, you heard what the villagers said! Now give me back the money!”

”So what if I heard it? So what if I didn’t? Listen up, you loudmouth, if you keep yelling in front of my house, I’ll finish you!”

Mu Dazhong, watching the scene unfold, thought Wang Erma’s acting was top-notch. If they hadn’t planned it, he’d truly believe Wang Erma was this arrogant.

Old Mrs. Mu had never been this humiliated before and was jumping around in anger.

Members of the Old Mu Family rushed to comfort her, and with red eyes, Mu Dajiang kicked the door of Wang Erma’s courtyard.

”You beast, how dare you treat my mother like this! I, Mu Dajiang, will fight you!”

The man’s foot hit Wang Erma’s courtyard gate so hard that the wall shook.

This time, Wang Erma was genuinely afraid.

The sons of the Old Mu Family—Mu Dazhong was greedy, Mu Dashan was honest, Mu Danian was cunning and lecherous, but Mu Dajiang was known for his silence, rarely speaking.

But it’s the silent ones who are the most dangerous.

Thinking about this, Wang Erma felt fearful, especially now that he had stirred up so much hatred.

”Brother Dajiang, it’s not my fault. It’s Mu Shuangshuang, the third branch’s daughter, who asked me to use the sick pigs as healthy ones. She even gave me a piece of silver.”

Since this was a performance, it had to be convincing. Wang Erma pulled a piece of silver from his pocket and waved it in front of Mu Dajiang.

Mu Dajiang was instantly dumbfounded.

This had something to do with Shuangshuang?

With that, the entire Old Mu Family turned their gazes to Mu Shuangshuang.

Mrs. Lin was the happiest.

”Mom, I told you that brat had no good intentions! It turns out she’s the one who did it, and she even spent a piece of silver.”

”Mom, I thought something was off when you mentioned it this morning. How could no one else know there was a problem with the pigs but Shuang? Turns out she was in cahoots with Wang Erma.” Mu Danian chimed in.

Mrs. Lin and Mu Danian were experts at taking advantage of situations, especially since they both disliked Mu Shuangshuang, attacking her whenever they could.

”You little brat, you made me go through all this! I’m going to whip you today!”
