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

Chapter 436: Chapter 433: Hopping Around the Town (Second Part)

”I’ll talk, I’ll talk... Auntie, please don’t chop off my hand.”

The young man close to Mu Shuangshuang was scared by her.

He knelt down.

”I have elders above me and children below. My brother is waiting for me to bring money, my sister-in-law...”

”Cut the crap, just tell me the person!” Mu Shuangshuang interrupted the little gangster who was improvising and said fiercely.

”It was a girl in a red dress; she said if we taught you all a lesson, she’d give us one tael of silver. We... we didn’t want to come!”

”But you came, so I have to think carefully about how to punish you today!”

Upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang planned to punish them, several people were terrified and covered their heads, crying for mercy.

Mu Shuangshuang originally only intended to scare the few people, not really kill or set fire.

Moreover, she knew how ruthless Lu Yuanfeng was earlier.

”Auntie, we beg you, please let us go, we really made a mistake!”

”Yes, indeed, terribly wrong!”

For a grown man to cry with tears and snots is no easy task, and the one whose hand was broken by Mu Shuangshuang looked pale.

”I can let you go!” Mu Shuangshuang agreed.

The gangsters’ eyes lit up, and they immediately begged Mu Shuangshuang again.

”Enough, enough, grown men crying like this, isn’t it embarrassing!”

”From here, you all frog jump around the town; when you’re done, that’s when you can rest!”

Speaking of frog jumping, the few looked at each other, none knowing what it was.

”How can you be so dumb? You don’t even know frog jumping!”

Though she spoke harshly, Mu Shuangshuang demonstrated, and the few were delighted, thinking frog jumping wasn’t hard, just squatting... and jumping?

After jumping fifteen times, the leader was already on the ground, half dead from exhaustion.

Mu Shuangshuang rushed up and kicked him.

”Get up, or I’ll chop off your hands and feet!”

Mu Shuangshuang looked fierce, hitting hard, and a few small gangsters jumped desperately after being kicked by her; as for the leader, he was directly on the ground, and no one paid him any mind.

”Oh my, you... ooh... you wait for me...”

He wanted to move but couldn’t.

Could only watch Mu Shuangshuang as she walked towards him.

”Don’t come... don’t come...”

Mu Shuangshuang went up and tugged at the man’s hand again, with a ”crack,” the man passed out in fright, unconscious.

Only then did Lu Yuanfeng come forward, check the man’s whole body, and finally speak.

”Shuangshuang, did you fix his arm?”

”Yes, this person isn’t utterly evil; no need to eradicate them. However, after my lesson today, they should be more restrained. Next time, I’ll bring them something fun, and perhaps they’ll stay honest.”

”Mmm!” Lu Yuanfeng fully agreed with Mu Shuangshuang’s words.

Earlier, his heavy hand didn’t seem much now, but once those folks took a break, they wouldn’t be able to stand for ten to fifteen days.

”Fengzi, let’s hurry back!” Mu Shuangshuang suggested.

The two packed up their things and quickened their pace, heading back to Er Gui Village.

They delayed a lot of time after punishing the people, came back late, and completely missed lunchtime.

Fortunately, Yu Si Niang had left food in the pot earlier for Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.

After a few days of recovery, Xing Beichen’s injuries at Lu Yuanfeng’s house had improved greatly; he could get out of bed, and his lunch was prepared by Yu Si Niang and delivered by Yuanbao.

Regarding Mu Shuangshuang picking someone up, Yu Si Niang and Mu Dashan haven’t said anything; rather, they feel Mu Shuangshuang did a good deed that would surely be favored by the heavens with no illness or disaster.

Eating lunch very late in the hour, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng glanced at each other and then burst into laughter.

”Fengzi, did Uncle Fu say when he’d sell Grandpa’s few pieces of land to you?”

Mu Shuangshuang suddenly remembered this and asked.

”Didn’t say; he just took the ten taels of silver you gave me and said he’d inform once negotiations were done.”

Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t worried about Uncle Fu taking the silver and running away; his family business was all in Er Gui Village; he wouldn’t do such a thing.

What Mu Shuangshuang worried about was those in the Old Mu Family stirring up trouble again, inevitably causing a round of cries and affecting the third branch’s life, not to mention becoming a laughing stock.

”Is Shuangshuang worried?” Lu Yuanfeng asked.

”Yes, indeed quite worried! But my grandpa and grandma should be more worried than me!”

Mu Shuangshuang guessed right; the Old Mu Family had been arguing about this for several days.

Three mu of second-class fertile land instantly became third-class land, not to mention the selling price halved.

Mr. Mu gritted his teeth and decided to sacrifice once for Mu Dade.

If Mu Dade succeeds, the land and other things won’t matter.

But Old Mrs. Mu stubbornly refused.

This old lady had no other hobbies, only liking money and land.

Previously, she kept many money jars in her room, putting some money in each jar, and every night before bed, she’d take them out to count.

If more, Old Mrs. Mu would laugh heartily.

If less, she’d scold for half an hour.

Now asking Old Mrs. Mu to sell land equates to digging out her heart, draining her blood; how could Old Mrs. Mu agree?

”Old man, we can think of other ways. Anyway, I don’t agree to sell land!”

Old Mrs. Mu stood fiercely in a corner of the main room, hands on hips, full of momentum.

Previously, it was Mu Dazhong who suggested selling land, and he’d already been scratched on the face by her; the others who wanted to speak dared not say anything.

”You old hag, it’s you who doesn’t want to live the life of mud-legs, and you want the eldest to achieve scholarly fame.”

”Now wanting you to sell three mu of land, and you’re unwilling. Do you want the eldest to die out there?”

Mr. Mu yelled angrily.

The entire family knew that currently, the Old Mu Family was driven up the mountain, if they didn’t prepare money for the eldest, all benefits would be gone.

If Mu Dade didn’t succeed, everyone would continue farming.

Rather than that, they should bet once.

”Damn old man, you dare curse my son to die. You’re heartless, you’re not worth anything...”

Old Mrs. Mu cursed, unchecked and reckless.

Recently several times, she completely stopped putting Mr. Mu in her eyes.

Mr. Mu previously endured, but today he couldn’t anymore, and slapped Old Mrs. Mu across the face.

The slap left Old Mrs. Mu seeing stars.

”Dad...”

The members of the Old Mu Family were stunned.

Since they understood things, Mr. Mu had never hit Old Mrs. Mu; he said harsh words aplenty but knew to be careful.

Old Mrs. Mu was even more shocked, glaring with dim eyes, looking at Mr. Mu as if he were an enemy.

”You dare hit me, you old bastard, on what grounds you hit me...”

Mr. Mu originally felt regret, but hearing Old Mrs. Mu’s unreformed words, he didn’t regret one bit.
