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

Chapter 520: Chapter 516: Why Should My Son Marry a Peasant? (2nd Update)

Mu Shuangshuang tightened the hemp rope around her family’s big fat pig and stood up abruptly, trying to block Mr. Mu’s view.

This protective instinct naturally stabbed deeply into Mr. Mu’s eyes.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t care about that.

Old Mu Family’s nature can’t stand seeing others doing well.

She painstakingly raised a big fat pig, hoping to sell it next autumn to save a gift for Xiao Han’s teacher, and it can’t be messed up by the narrow-eyed Old Mu Family.

”Shuang, grandpa doesn’t want your pig, there are pigs at home,” Mr. Mu explained awkwardly.

But Mu Shuangshuang just didn’t believe it.

”Oh, forget it, grandpa is just passing by here and wants to ask you a few questions,” Mr. Mu softened his attitude quite a bit.

Maybe it’s because he’s been ill these last few days, there’s no one to attend to him at the bedside, making Mr. Mu feel uncomfortable inside.

In any case, Mr. Mu is now eager to find someone to give him advice.

”Grandpa, just ask!”

Mu Shuangshuang guessed it was about Mu Dalang and Huang Bita. Given how much Mr. Mu cares about face, under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t let his grandson propose to someone his son has already been linked to.

He can’t afford to lose face like that.

But compared to face, Mu Dade’s title naturally mattered more.

”Do you think it’s worth celebrating for the whole family if your eldest uncle passes the exam? Is it the biggest thing compared to anything else?” Mr. Mu asked.

Mu Shuangshuang certainly didn’t agree in her heart.

Even if Mu Dade passes, it’s only the glory of the eldest house, and Old Mu Family shouldn’t expect to gain any benefit.

But outwardly, Mu Shuangshuang still said, ”Eldest uncle’s matter is our family’s big deal, otherwise why have my second uncle and my fifth uncle worked hard for so many years?”

Mu Shuangshuang consciously led Mr. Mu to think about Mu Danian.

Mr. Mu considered it, too.

Not marrying a wife for Fifth all these years, on one hand, is because Fifth is flirtatious, a womanizer; anyone in the village, as long as they’re female, he’s eager to hook up with, maybe no one’s willing to be his wife.

Another reason is marrying Fifth cannot go without three or five taels of silver, and Old Mu Family’s silver all went to the eldest for exams, no spare money to find a wife for Fifth.

Just like Shuangshuang said, Fifth has been single for so many years, what’s the rush now.

Mr. Mu’s internal balance has already tilted towards Mu Dade.

”Shuang, grandpa knows what to do now, grandpa is heading back!”

Mr. Mu had a lighter expression on his face and walked straight back, seemingly ready to announce something significant.

After entering the Old Mu Family’s main room, he discussed with Old Mrs. Mu, and Old Mrs. Mu agreed it was logical.

Fifth’s part was easy.

Once Huang Bita marries in, she would be their granddaughter-in-law, Fifth’s niece-in-law.

As long as Huang Bita does anything poorly, Old Mrs. Mu would personally discipline her, making sure she knows the house rules of Old Mu Family and her power.

”In that case, I’ll go find Matchmaker Sun and settle this matter early,” Old Mrs. Mu said.

At this moment, Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu were anxious and wanted to resolve this quickly, fearing the longer it takes, more things could go wrong.

”Then first call in the families of Second and Fourth, and Da Lang, this is his lifelong matter, he needs to agree.”

After a while, everyone was in.

Mrs. Lin loudly protested.

”Dad, I don’t agree with this, Fifth doesn’t want her, and neither can we in the second house.”

”Exactly, others might think we’re picking up discarded shoes for our Da Lang,” Mu Dazhong echoed.

The second house already had plans, any arrangement should wait until the eldest’s title is finalized.

Now discussing, it’s too early.

”Discarded shoes? Humph, Second, what you say, Mrs. Lin was engaged to someone else before, and then thought you were better, our family was better, and broke off the engagement, so is Mrs. Lin discarded shoes?

Moreover, Miss Huang hasn’t even spoken to Fifth, just said she’d see, Fifth didn’t return, doesn’t that mean she didn’t see?”

Old Mrs. Mu snorted coldly, a few words weighed heavily, silencing Mu Dazhong.

Mu Dazhong was never her match, trying to argue with her was impossible.

”I don’t care, in any case, I don’t agree, that girl from Huang Family won’t be allowed into our home.”

Mu Dalang opened his mouth, just about to retort, remembering Shuangshuang’s words.

This matter, anyone can engage, but not him.

The more he shows reluctance, the more bride price the Old Huang Family can bargain for.

”You don’t agree, what do you use to disagree? You eat my wife’s food, use my wife’s things, still dare not listen to my wife’s words, you’re defying!”

Old Mrs. Mu was angry, thinking of someone contradicting her made her furious.

”Mom, you also have to think about our Da Lang, as it seems eldest brother is soaring high, Old Mu Family is about to rise, you’re letting Da Lang marry a mudlegs, isn’t that harming him?” Mrs. Lin spoke, filled with resentment.

”Mudlegs, so what? Mudlegs are also Old Mu Family’s granddaughter-in-law, moreover, the three Huang brothers will help Da Lang, who can compare?” Mr. Mu said heavily.

Mrs. Lin and Mu Dazhong opened their mouths, just about to speak, interrupted by Old Mrs. Mu.

”If you don’t agree, then leave, Old Mu Family doesn’t need people who don’t respect elder’s opinions, your father and I are still healthy, and you don’t listen to us, you should have been put in a urine bucket and suffocated right after being born!”

After being scolded relentlessly, Mrs. Lin still wouldn’t back down, spoke again, only to be whipped with the stick from the door gap by Old Mrs. Mu, who then yelled that she agreed.

Old Mrs. Mu thought: Tsk, just tough-skinned, teach them a lesson and they quiet down.

With the adults having no objections, naturally, it’s Mu Dalang’s turn.

”Da Lang, what do you think of Miss Huang?” asked Mr. Mu.

”Grandpa, there’s no issue with her, but I want to establish a career before getting married, now Da Lang has nothing, marrying a wife would risk distracting from my career, this way, gains do not match the loss!”

Mrs. Lin listened to her son’s words, was excited, thinking her son rejected, her tail went up to the sky.

But she underestimated Mr. Mu’s level.

”So, didn’t you say you want to raise sheep? Raising sheep needs pasture, our family has two good dry lands for you as pasture, this time, whatever you want to do, you do, we won’t interfere.”

Mr. Mu gave the initiative to Mu Dalang.

Mu Dalang felt excited inside, thinking what Shuangshuang said was true, the more he opposes, the more grandpa and grandma want to pair him up with Miss Huang.

”Grandpa, I still don’t want, Huang Family wants five taels of bride price, I don’t have that much silver, don’t want to lose face.” Mu Dalang continued.

”Alright, these aren’t for you to worry about, your grandma and I will handle this.”
