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

Chapter 518: Chapter 514 Mutual Restraint (Five Updates)

Even though I know that discussing this now means Huang Bita has Mu Dalang in her heart.

But nothing beats witnessing.

Mu Dalang is all fired up right now and has jumped in with both feet; if things don’t work out in the end, how sad will the two of them be?

Matchmaker Sun is also someone who can read the room. After listening to Shuangshuang’s words, she quickly said, ”Shuangshuang is right, let’s eat first and get to know each other while dining.”

Having traveled such a long distance, it’s reasonable to be hungry.

Called the waiter and started ordering dishes.

Matchmaker Sun can’t eat without meat and immediately ordered braised pork. The Huang siblings, being the type that knows how to run a household, only ordered stir-fried beans.

Lu Yuanfeng is generally not picky about food. Besides what Shuangshuang cooks, everything else is just about the same for him.

So, he let Shuangshuang decide.

The Da Ning Dynasty is not like modern times; menus for dishes aren’t available, so everything needs to be reported by the waiter.

Mu Shuangshuang has roughly checked the meal prices before, and they’re slightly more expensive than usual places, but it’s packed, so the food must be really delicious.

This meal will cost tens to hundreds of wen, but if Mu Dalang successfully takes care of his wife’s matters, it’s definitely worth it.

”Waiter, do you have any signature dishes you can suggest to us? Something tasty yet affordable.”

The waiter tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly pointed to the next table, ”That’s the new dish introduced by our owner. It’s still testing; one portion costs only forty wen, but when the trial ends, it’ll probably start at eighty.”

As the waiter pointed, everyone turned their heads to look.

Just then, a handsome young man dressed in lavish clothes had a white porcelain plate in front of him, holding a dark-colored egg.

The egg was cut into four pieces, sprinkled with various seasonings around it.

Though the young man initially looked disgusted, after eating a piece of the century egg, he started devouring it with a look of insatiable satisfaction.

Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes immediately widened; wasn’t the item being devoured by the person at the next table the century egg she sold to Xue Yi?

”Waiter, is your owner Xue Yi?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

The waiter nodded. ”Yes, our restaurant recently changed owners. The owner’s surname is Xue.”

Mu Shuangshuang’s anger grew stronger.

Ah, the scoundrel was indeed a scoundrel!

Bought it from her for ten wen, sold it for forty, eighty.

Damn it, it made her furious!

Mu Shuangshuang thought Xue Yi bought it for Old Mrs. Xue, so she didn’t make money off Xue Yi.

Suddenly, the thought of the five hundred duck eggs still in the urn at home popped up in Mu Shuangshuang’s mind.

”Miss, would you like to try our new dish—century egg? If so, I can tell the kitchen to prepare one for you.”

”No, thank you. We’ll order other dishes instead...”

After ordering two more dishes, the Huang siblings didn’t allow any more ordering, saying if they weren’t full, they’d order more.

Mu Shuangshuang became more intrigued with Huang Bita and her impression of her improved significantly.

Logically, the male side should pay for the meeting meal, and they don’t necessarily have to end up together.

So the female side could order freely, eat lavishly, and leave when finished.

But the Huang siblings weren’t like that, from such small details, Mu Shuangshuang could see that Miss Huang knew how to manage a household.

A good homemaker.

The dishes were soon served, and seeing the food on the table, Huang Bita and Huang’s brother dared not move.

Only after Matchmaker Sun started eating did they begin.

After a few bites, Matchmaker Sun began to praise, ”Bita, Dalang, if you ask me, you two are the most compatible couple I’ve ever seen. The girl is beautiful, and the boy is steady.”

”Dalang has also lived in the town for many years, almost like half a townsman. With you two together, I believe it’s only a matter of time before you become rich.”

Huang Bita secretly glanced at Mu Dalang, then quickly turned away.

Mu Dalang felt thrilled when he sensed Huang Bita looking at him.

On the dining table, they expressed their mutual feelings; the Huang Family doesn’t oppose Dalang as a younger brother-in-law, provided that Matchmaker Sun can settle matters with the Old Mu Family.

If earlier, Matchmaker Sun thought Old Mrs. Mu was hard to deal with, now she feels it’s not an issue at all.

Even the bride price, she managed to fully secure it for the Huang Family.

After they finished lunch, Huang Bita and Mu Dalang strolled alone while Matchmaker Sun went to visit her relatives in the county.

As for Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, they naturally wandered around the town.

Mu Shuangshuang was deeply familiar with the daily food prices, knowing clearly when the price for certain vegetables would rise.

Of course, this was all for ease in doing business.

The whole afternoon, Mu Dalang took Huang Bita wandering around the street.

Mu Dalang was very familiar with the town, and whenever they reached a place, he could describe its significance.

As time went on, Huang Bita began to admire Mu Dalang.

Women always hope their men have enough experience and a rich life story; although Mu Dalang is only sixteen, he’s experienced more than ordinary people.

As for Huang Bita, at eighteen, there isn’t much difference from a young girl of fifteen or sixteen.

Their union perfectly complements each other.

On the way back to Er Gui Village, Mu Dalang kept praising Huang Bita, having already made up his mind to marry Miss Huang.

However, his eyebrows couldn’t hide his worries; he was worried his family would object.

Mu Shuangshuang assured him repeatedly, only then did he relax.

By the time they returned to the village, it was already late; Matchmaker Sun wouldn’t deal with Mu Dalang and Huang Bita’s matter today and would wait to do so tomorrow.

Recently, it was getting closer to September, and students from various places were returning from the Autumn Examination, with ever-worsening results.

The Old Mu Family’s initial joy suddenly turned into worry.

Old Mrs. Mu mumbled daily, with a heart as restless as ants on a hot pot.

The eldest son’s reputation has no solutions, and even he hasn’t returned.

Old Fifth is even more ignorant, not seeing him for two full days; if Old Fifth weren’t fond of running around, Old Mrs. Mu would think something had happened to him.

As days went by, Old Mrs. Mu became increasingly uneasy.

Until Matchmaker Sun came to propose marriage again, Old Mrs. Mu found no place to vent her fierce anger.

”You old bag, why are you coming to my house again? Do you still want to match up that tramp?” Old Mrs. Mu said with irritation.

Matchmaker Sun had a flicker of displeasure on her face but quickly calmed down.

”Old sister, I came today to clarify something, which I didn’t explain clearly last time.

The reason I didn’t propose for Danyan is mainly because Danyan’s birth date conflicts with Miss Huang’s.

If forced together, neither would have a good outcome; I heard Danyan was lost, so I intentionally mentioned this.”

Matchmaker Sun spoke in an orderly manner, and Old Mrs. Mu yelled at her, ”Pfui, it’s your conflict, my son is fine!

If there’s a conflict, it’s that tramp’s fault; tell that tramp not to enter the door of our Old Mu Family!”
