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

Chapter 373: Chapter 371 Mrs. Lin’s First Signs of Labor (Second Update)

”Well, you dare to lie.” Old Mrs. Mu picked up the broom that had just beaten Wang Erma, and fiercely attacked Mu Dazhong.

With a sharp pain in his body, Mu Dazhong started to dodge. Just then, Mrs. Lin was standing nearby. Without thinking, he hid behind her.

Old Mrs. Mu swung the broom over, hitting Mrs. Lin directly.

Mrs. Lin screamed, clutching her stomach, and fell to her knees.

”My stomach hurts...” Mrs. Lin cried out with a pale face.

”What’s wrong, Gou Dan’s mother?” Mu Dazhong pretended to cry while holding Mrs. Lin.

He thought Mrs. Lin was helping him out, so at this moment, he decided not to despise her, even if she usually doesn’t like taking baths or washing her hair, always smelling foul.

Mrs. Lin clutched her belly, looking pained, ”It really hurts.”

”What are you standing there for, go call a doctor!”

Mr. Mu, who had come out of the house, shouted loudly, and the whole Old Mu Family was thrown into chaos.

...

...

Mu Shuangshuang and Yu Liulang talked for quite some time and finally persuaded him. But before she even warmed her seat, Mrs. Liu rushed in and said to Mu Shuangshuang, ”Shuangshuang, quickly ask Si Niang to go to your second aunt’s place, your second aunt is bleeding.”

Mrs. Liu hastily spoke and then left in a hurry.

Yu Si Niang paused her peeling of corn in the kitchen, loosened her apron, and stood up.

A woman miscarrying can be serious or minor, Yu Si Niang rushed out, which was only natural, but going like this she’d again be bossed around by Old Mrs. Mu as a maid.

”Shuangshuang, if mom’s not back by the time for lunch, you’ll have to make lunch today; mom’s going to check things out.”

Yu Si Niang was inherently kind-hearted. Knowing Mrs. Lin might miscarry, all past grudges suddenly felt insignificant.

She rushed towards the second branch’s house in a hurry.

Mu Shuangshuang, fearing she’d be taken advantage of, followed her to the second branch’s house. Lu Yuanfeng was already following her; seeing Shuangshuang get up, he followed closely.

Yu Liulang and Feng Xiaohua exchanged glances and immediately decided to check things out too.

Yu Liulang thought he’d inquire as to why they were bullying his sister and niece like this.

”Mom, what’s wrong with second sister-in-law? Why is she bleeding?”

In the courtyard of the second branch, Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu stood in the center, glancing into the house from time to time. As soon as Yu Si Niang entered the yard, she asked with concern.

Unexpectedly, she was met with a flood of insults.

”You ask me, I ask who? I’m not a doctor. If you can’t help, then get out of the way and stop getting underfoot,” Old Mrs. Mu said irritably.

Mu Shuangshuang followed in and heard Old Mrs. Mu’s words and got angry!

She rushed forward to argue with Old Mrs. Mu. ”Granny, why do you speak to my mother like that? She’s concerned for my second aunt, is there anything wrong with asking?”

”Mother-in-law, although my sister married into the Old Mu Family, we, the Old Yu Family, won’t sit by and watch our kin being bullied,” Yu Liulang said righteously.

At this moment, the courtyard had quite a few people standing, all supporting Yu Si Niang. She was deeply moved, but also worried her mother’s temper was flaring.

As expected, Old Mrs. Mu, seeing several people standing against her, talked more recklessly.

”What’s this, Yu Liulang wants to stand up for Yu Si Niang? Fine, take her back, never let her return to our Old Mu Family. We can’t afford this shame, can’t afford such lazy bums.”

”You... you’re simply unreasonable.” Yu Liulang’s face turned livid.

In front of him, Old Mrs. Mu bullied his sister this way; if he wasn’t around, who knows what would happen.

”I’m an unreasonable old woman. You have eight hands daring to interfere in our Old Mu Family matters, you come into the house,” she said.

Seeing the courtyard was about to turn into a shouting match, Mr. Mu finally spoke up.

”Quiet down for me! Now that the second daughter-in-law is inside, life and death unknown, if you keep shouting, all of you get out!”

Mr. Mu was indeed the head of the family; once he spoke, both Yu Liulang and Old Mrs. Mu shut their mouths. Mu Shuangshuang pulled Yu Si Niang under a tree shade to wait.

Inside Mu Dazhong’s house, Mrs. Lin and Zhang Huai Shu were glaring at each other for eons.

”What did you say? I’m not pregnant?”

”Of course not, did you think getting pregnant is as easy as going to the bathroom?”

Zhang Huai Shu said irritably.

Originally, he had already said that besides the third branch of the Old Mu Family, he wouldn’t treat any others unless something major happened.

He only came this time hearing Mrs. Liu might miscarry.

In the end, that wasn’t the case at all.

This woman wasn’t pregnant, even the blood she bled was menstrual blood.

Done...

Mrs. Lin and Mu Dazhong exchanged glances; if Old Mrs. Mu knew she wasn’t pregnant, all domestic chores would fall solely on her.

Mu Dazhong also panicked. Earlier, it was Gou Dan’s mother who mentioned miscarriage; his mom didn’t bring up money because of it. If found out, the house would be in upheaval.

The two didn’t know what to do as they looked at each other.

”Later, I won’t talk to Old Mu or that damn old woman about your matters. You tell them yourself. If you need medicine, go get it from me; if not, I’m leaving.”

Zhang Huai Shu didn’t want to stay in such a place even a minute longer; he spoke while packing.

His words rekindled hope in Mrs. Lin and Mu Dazhong who were previously despaired.

While Zhang Huai Shu packed, they whispered, ”Daddy Gou Dan, should we continue saying we’re pregnant? I was hit by our mom, no matter what, she’ll have to care for me for a while.”

”This way, we can get more good food and do less work. What do you think?”

Mu Dazhong naturally agreed with Mrs. Lin, but the pregnancy takes ten months, there’d inevitably be a delivery. How then?

Knowing her man’s concerns, Mrs. Lin thumped her chest and said, ”Don’t worry, I’ll find some random excuse when the time comes and say the baby was lost; then we’ll have even more fun.”

Mrs. Lin had calculated it all; from now on, she wouldn’t do any chores.

She wouldn’t even wash a bowl.

”Okay!” Mu Dazhong nodded in approval.

Once Zhang Huai Shu left, Mrs. Lin lay on the bed feigning weakness.

”Old Two, how is Gou Dan’s mother?” Mr. Mu was the first to ask.

”Dad, no miscarriage, but Uncle Zhang says the baby is dangerous, she needs medication, bed rest, and nutrition.”

”Rest in bed? Nutrition? Then who’ll do the chores at home? Who’ll wash the clothes?” Old Mrs. Mu said disagreeably, glancing at the bed where Mrs. Lin was playing dead.

This woman hadn’t done much work, yet there was a basket of issues, not even giving birth peacefully.

Clearly here to collect debts.
