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

Chapter 495: Chapter 492 All Are Debt Collectors (Fifth Update)

”Xiangxiang, what do you think we should do?”

Old Mrs. Mu handed over the decision-making power to Mu Xiangxiang.

Mu Xiangxiang was her darling, and Old Mrs. Mu was willing to suffer losses herself but couldn’t bear for her daughter to endure any.

”Mom, carry me. You have the strength, and I’m young and not heavy. Otherwise, I won’t move.”

Mu Xiangxiang stretched out her legs, refusing to budge.

Both Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu were already exhausted, but couldn’t bear to leave Mu Xiangxiang behind, so they really carried her forward.

After just two steps, there was a cracking sound from their waists.

”Oh my, my back...”

”Oh my, my back’s broken...”

Mu Xiangxiang fell off from the back, and Old Mrs. Mu clutched her waist, cold sweat pouring down.

”Mom, what’s wrong?” Mu Xiangxiang was alarmed and exclaimed.

”Xiangxiang’s mother, what’s happened to you?” Mr. Mu had the same reaction.

Old Mrs. Mu wailed continuously, beads of sweat like beans dripping from her forehead.

”Mom, don’t scare me. I won’t ask you to carry me again.” Mu Xiangxiang spoke with a sob.

Mr. Mu saw the situation, understood it was a sprained back, and started looking around for a bull cart or someone strong.

In the end, he did find one.

A relative of the Old Yu Family, upon hearing that Mr. Mu was Yu Si Niang’s in-law, left without a word and took the three of them to Yu Family Village.

...

...

Old Mu Family

With Old Mrs. Mu gone, the few people left at home were in chaos, and the second house even held a special meeting with Mu Danian.

For a while, they couldn’t stop thinking about the big meal at Old Yu Family.

After all, it’s something exceptional to feast on.

”Fifth Brother, you usually have tricks up your sleeve, what do we do now?” Mu Dazhong was anxious and pacing.

”Yes, this chance missed today won’t come again, attending someone else’s banquet with too many people will be talked about, but this is Yu Si Niang’s family, it’s like our own family, no one will criticize us.” Mrs. Lin added.

”What else can we do? Let’s go! Our parents already left; we’ll go after them. When they arrive at Yu Family Village, we’ll be there too, pretending that we were called by them.

Our dad is such a face-saving person, he certainly won’t chase us away in front of others. We can eat well and not worry about coming back.”

Mu Danian had been planning this for a long time; none of them were married kids, so why could Xiangxiang go and enjoy while he had to stay home chewing cold sweet potatoes?

No way!

He definitely wanted to eat delicious food and drink nice drinks.

”That’s a good idea, but let’s bring the whole family, rent a bull cart to go. When there’s a big family, who can our parents punish?

Also, with Old Fourth and his wife being poor speakers, we can blame them, say they encouraged us. Will our parents blame us then?” Mrs. Lin laughed with her eyebrows raised, looking cunning and fierce.

The three decided on this and then went to find the fourth house.

With Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu away, and Mu Dajiang and the other brothers not getting along, they didn’t want to go.

”We won’t go; you’ll go yourselves!”

The scapegoats didn’t want to go, but the three wouldn’t agree, and Mrs. Lin directly used Old Mrs. Mu to intimidate Mu Dajiang.

”Old Fourth, whether you go or not, mom instructed, anyone who doesn’t go today will have their skin peeled. Xiaxia’s mother, doesn’t mom already dislike her? If she defies our parents this time, do you think she’ll have a good life later?”

This statement completely subdued Mu Dajiang.

He sighed and agreed to go to Yu Family Village.

Mu Danian went and got a bull cart, spending ten coins, and took the whole family to Yu Family Village.

The fourth house was kicked out individually and walked.

Watching the distant bull cart, the fourth house started their own journey.

...

...

Mu Shuangshuang used the shortest time to cook a pot of dishes.

As for the rice, it was prepared by the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yu Family; she just had to wash the rice, add water, and burn the firewood, just like Mu Shuangshuang, outside.

Lunch wasn’t a formal meal, so there was only meat and some green vegetables, along with a fish.

Yet, it was quite sumptuous.

The meal wasn’t served on the table when Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu finally arrived late.

As soon as they entered the yard, Old Mrs. Mu sharply saw everyone starting to sit down and quickly urged Mu Xiangxiang.

”Xiangxiang, hurry, find three seats, ones where the dishes are easy to reach.”

Mu Xiangxiang saw the situation and rushed to the front, choosing three seats. One was already prepared for someone, but she took the stool, making them fall flat.

”Whoa, who’s so uncultured, taking the stool from under my butt?”

”You’re the uncultured one; I spotted this seat first, why are you fighting me for it?”

Mu Xiangxiang glaringly gave that person a hard look, sat on one, stepped on another, and directly took off her shoes for the remaining one.

The people around immediately stood up.

Mu Shuangshuang saw this and couldn’t help but frown.

This Mu Xiangxiang, creating a scene regardless of place?

Doesn’t she know it’s someone’s wedding day, and she shouldn’t be disruptive?

As she was about to stop it, Yu Liulang came out of the house.

As the groom, he had dressed up thoroughly today.

The whole person looked both joyful and spirited, with a bit more charm.

Seeing Mu Xiangxiang with her shoes off, Yu Liulang and Mu Shuangshuang had the same reaction, just wanted to beat the person in front to death.

But since she was his sister-in-law’s sister, Yu Liulang just disliked it but went forward and resolved the problem.

The three seats went to Mu Xiangxiang; the relative who sat was given another, along with a pound of liquor as compensation.

Sitting at the main row’s chairs, Old Mrs. Mu was full of pride.

She fondly patted Mu Xiangxiang’s head.

”Still, our girl is clever, knowing to grab us seats.”

Mr. Mu was not looking good because after sitting down, people were pointing at him.

They looked at him with disdainful eyes.

Mr. Mu, who cared about face, couldn’t bear such contempt, and was just about to argue with the person, when suddenly dozens of more people appeared outside the yard.

Mu Dazhong, Mu Danian, and Mrs. Lin got off the bull cart, along with a few children.

They rushed in, aiming directly for Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu’s table.

”Dad, Mom, we brought the kids over, not leaving one out.”

”Old Fourth didn’t want to sit in the bull cart, and is behind, don’t worry, they should be here soon.”

Mr. Mu was infuriated.

Among all relatives, only he brought the whole family, even the grandchildren.

”Hey, hey, please make some room, these are my parents, we need to sit together with them, you find somewhere else.”

Mu Dazhong began to drive out other unfamiliar relatives at the table; those unwilling to leave, he had Gou Dan pick his nose in front of them.

Finally, everyone couldn’t stand the disgust and left.
