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

Chapter 371: Chapter 369: Fengzi’s Trust (Third Update)

Mu Shuangshuang really felt like stabbing the old hag in front of her.

Round and round, the shit pot was placed on her head again.

This back and forth, it seems like it will never end!

Does she think she’s a sick cat because the tiger hasn’t shown its power yet!

”Grandma, what are you talking about? Just because Wang Erma said it was me, does that make it me?”

”If it wasn’t you, who else could be so bad?” Old Mrs. Mu retorted directly.

”Mother, Shuangshuang isn’t this kind of person. Do you not believe your granddaughter and trust an outsider?” Yu Si Niang asked anxiously.

”Hmph, the third branch has long separated and is no longer part of the Old Mu Family. Besides, this stinky girl doesn’t respect the elderly and has a bad character.”

Old Mrs. Mu’s words made everyone look at Mu Shuangshuang with eyes full of suspicion and distrust.

But Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t one to be trifled with.

”Grandma, even if the third branch has separated, they’re still part of the Old Mu Family. Saying such things will break my parents’ hearts. My father has worked diligently for the Old Mu Family for so many years without taking a single day off.

He won’t feel at ease even while recovering if he knows you accused his daughter over two piglets.”

As soon as Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, Old Mrs. Mu began to curse.

”How dare you bring up the third branch to me? The third branch was led astray by you, this stinky girl. Now he doesn’t even work for our Old Mu Family. You deserve to die!”

After finishing her words, Old Mrs. Mu turned to the villagers and said, ”Look at this, where did this vicious girl come from? Hurting her own family. Poor me...”

Old Mrs. Mu covered her eyes and started to fake cry.

The villagers were half-believing Old Mrs. Mu and Mu Shuangshuang at this moment.

Most of them actually sided with Mu Shuangshuang; no one was a fool. Old Mrs. Mu was known for being pushy, with her sons serving like dogs, catering to her and Mr. Mu.

There’s no need to mention others, even Mu Dashan. He barely had a rest throughout the year. During busy farming seasons, he was occupied with farm work, and in the off-season, he had to load goods on the docks or pick up cow dung in the village.

If someone said others were lazy, they’d believe it, but not Mu Dashan.

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang still unwilling to admit, Old Mrs. Mu waved her claw-like hand to grab Mu Shuangshuang.

Her hands were filthy, barely cleaned, long, and hard, even Mrs. Lin was afraid.

Just as she rushed forward, Mu Shuangshuang felt a grip around her waist and was dragged away.

Lu Yuanfeng’s wide hand supported Mu Shuangshuang’s waist, wearing a worn-out shirt, sleeves rolled up.

He had been organizing the backyard behind his own house, getting ready to raise the grown chickens with Shuangshuang in the bamboo mountain, busy building a coop and laying oilcloth. When he heard about the Old Mu Family’s trouble, he didn’t even bother to change clothes before rushing over to check.

He was just worried Shuangshuang might be in trouble or bullied.

When he arrived, he happened to see Old Mrs. Mu about to strike, so without thinking, he pulled Mu Shuangshuang into his arms.

Fortunately, she wasn’t hurt.

”Mu Family grandma, Shuangshuang didn’t bribe Wang Erma. The day your family went to catch the piglets, I was with Shuangshuang. She didn’t have time to see Wang Erma.”

After Lu Yuanfeng spoke, he walked up to Wang Erma.

”Are you sure it was Shuangshuang who had you do it, not someone else?”

Lu Yuanfeng was implying that Wang Erma was framing Mu Shuangshuang.

”Lu Yuanfeng, this is Old Mu Family’s business. Why are you sticking your nose in it as an outsider? What’s the deal? Do you fancy this stinky girl and want to fake a testimony for her? Let me tell you, my family can testify. It was this stinky girl who sought me out, and this piece of silver was given to me by her.”

The one tael of silver was indeed a substantial piece of evidence. The villagers’ view of Mu Shuangshuang changed again.

”Wang Erma, I know you’re still angry about the time I sold meat in the village, costing you half of your merchandise. But a person must maintain their conscience. Can you live with yourself after wronging Shuangshuang like this?”

”Whether I can live with myself or not is none of your business! It’s this stinky girl with a bad character who bribed me to harm her family, is that my fault?”

”You could have refused!” Lu Yuanfeng replied.

”Do you think I’m stupid? If there’s money to be made, why shouldn’t I take it? Kid, let me tell you, don’t think you can run wild in this village just because you killed a wild boar. I’m not afraid of you, it’s just a wild boar; I can kill a whole herd in no time!”

As Wang Erma continued to throw dirt on Mu Shuangshuang, he boasted on the side.

”You...” Lu Yuanfeng was really infuriated, clenching his fists with cracking sounds.

”Wang Erma, are you certain that one tael of silver was given by me? You took six hundred cash for the purchase of the pig too?” Mu Shuangshuang stepped forward to ask Wang Erma.

Lu Yuanfeng looked at her worriedly but was calmed by a reassuring look from her.

Mu Shuangshuang looked at Lu Yuanfeng with unprecedented warmth, the gaze so tender it made Lu Yuanfeng’s heart flutter.

”Yes, what, acting like you got amnesia?” Wang Erma asked arrogantly.

Just as he finished speaking, Mu Shuangshuang leaped onto his courtyard wall, flipping Wang Erma over her shoulder, snatching a tael of silver from his hand, and taking six strings of cash from his pork stall.

Using the same method, she jumped out of Wang’s courtyard wall.

The entire action took her less than five seconds.

Before anyone could react, they saw Mu Shuangshuang walking over to Old Mrs. Mu.

”Grandma, here are your six hundred cash. Shuangshuang returns the original amount. As for Shuangshuang’s ’one tael of silver,’ Shuangshuang took it herself!”

Mu Shuangshuang deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the tael of silver to show that taking the money was perfectly justified.

”Fengzi, mom, let’s go!”

Old Mrs. Mu was stunned; she never anticipated things turning out this way.

But when she remembered she had gotten five cash earlier and still had a living piglet at home, she didn’t feel that she had lost out.

Since she hadn’t lost out, Old Mrs. Mu decided not to cause trouble for anyone.

”Old man, we got the money back, let’s go home!”

After speaking, Old Mrs. Mu led the way forward.

Wang Erma, who had been thrown to the ground, realized that his money had been taken, along with the six hundred cash from his stall.

He quickly shouted, ”Robbery, the stinky girl from the Third Branch of the Old Mu Family robbed money.”

Unfortunately, he had spoken too much earlier, and everyone thought the money belonged to Mu Shuangshuang.

Since it was hers, even if taken back by force, so what?

”Everyone disperse, disperse, I guess Shuang girl was just joking. The Old Mu Family got their money back, and Shuang girl got her money back, so let’s not get involved.”

Not knowing who said it, everyone started to leave.

Wang Erma was in a panic.

His money, his one tael six hundred cash, how many pigs would it take to earn it back?

”Stop, all of you stop...” Wang Erma pushed open the courtyard gate, shouting at the Old Mu Family people.
