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

Chapter 531: Chapter 527 Fengzi Doesn’t Think Highly of You (Third Update)

”What nonsense are you babbling? Get back there right now!”

Mr. Mu cursed aggressively, thinking Mu Xiangxiang would restrain herself, but instead, she hugged Old Mrs. Mu’s leg and cried, ”Mom, I want to be Fengzi’s wife. I want to be Fengzi’s wife!”

Off to the side, Mu Shuangshuang was speechless, this was the first time she’d seen someone so shameless.

The one involved was Lu Yuanfeng, yet she didn’t ask him, instead questioning Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu.

Was she waiting for Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu to speak so she could force herself onto Lu Yuanfeng?

”Auntie, you’re being too dramatic. With the way you act like a madwoman, even if Fengzi were blind, he wouldn’t fancy you. Let alone when he isn’t blind,” Mu Shuangshuang blurted out plainly.

This Mu Xiangxiang had such an elevated opinion of herself, bursting in so early in the morning. If not shown boundaries, she wouldn’t understand who Fengzi belongs to.

Upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words, Mu Xiangxiang burst into tears, flailing her hands and feet on the floor, mimicking the way Old Mrs. Mu would curse in public.

”Mom, I can’t live on with this. The brat called me ugly. I can’t live on...”

”Xiangxiang, that brat is blind, pay her no mind. You’re my beloved, you’re good-looking... Brat, how dare you insult your aunt like this! Are you even human?” Old Mrs. Mu harshly scolded Mu Shuangshuang while consoling Mu Xiangxiang.

”Grandma, I’m just stating the facts. Aunt is indeed ugly. The way she comes out without tidying up or washing herself, it’s unbearable for anyone.”

Mu Shuangshuang’s words rendered Old Mrs. Mu and Mu Xiangxiang speechless with anger. Mu Xiangxiang, in particular, lay on the ground crying to the brink of breathlessness, hiccupping continuously.

Seeing she couldn’t control Mu Shuangshuang, Old Mrs. Mu shouted for Da Shan at Mu Dashan’s door.

Mu Dashan had been waking up late these days, naturally not getting up too early, and Yu Si Niang didn’t allow him to rise early to ensure his health preservation.

Yu Si Niang arranged the breakfast and came out.

”Mom, Shuangshuang’s father is sleeping. You...”

Before Yu Si Niang could finish, Old Mrs. Mu lashed out, ”My son became lazy after marrying you, you lazy woman. You slack off and don’t let my son be diligent. I shouldn’t have let my son marry a jinx like you!”

”Grandma, how is my mom lazy? In the Old Mu Family, doesn’t she always get up the earliest and work the hardest every day? Even when she goes to town, she finishes all the chores first!”

Although Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t spoken against Old Mrs. Mu, it didn’t mean she would let her have her way.

This old hag kept calling others lazy while the laziest were her and her daughter Mu Xiangxiang.

”You dare talk back to me, girl! Yu Si Niang, look at your daughter, rotten from head to toe. How did you raise her?” Old Mrs. Mu yelled at Yu Si Niang, hands on her waist.

Out of nowhere, Yu Si Niang found the courage to argue back against Old Mrs. Mu, ”Our Shuangshuang speaks the truth, Mom. Shuangshuang’s father can’t work yet; his health hasn’t recovered fully.”

The atmosphere became somewhat tense, with Mr. Mu nearly fuming in the background.

It’s preposterous for your wife to go over and curse at other homes so early in the morning, intolerable for anyone.

”Enough is enough! Stop embarrassing me!” Mr. Mu shouted angrily.

”What did you say? I’m embarrassing you? Your wife is being bullied right now, yet you criticize your wife for an outsider?” Old Mrs. Mu clung stubbornly, determined to cause chaos with Mr. Mu.

”What kind of nonsense is this? How aren’t Si Niang and Shuangshuang part of the Old Mu Family? If you don’t leave now, I’ll give you a divorce letter today, sending you back!”

At the mention of a divorce letter, Old Mrs. Mu became even more agitated, trying to scratch Mr. Mu’s face. Mr. Mu couldn’t dodge in time and ended up with a chunk of flesh clawed off his face.

With his face burning with pain and Old Mrs. Mu making a scene in front of the children, Mr. Mu was utterly enraged.

He took a step forward, grabbed Old Mrs. Mu by the hair, and dragged her toward the Old Mu Family’s direction, after a few steps, he turned and shouted at Mu Xiangxiang, still crying on the ground:

”And you, follow me back right away. If you continue to disgrace us, don’t fault me for throwing you out!”

Frightened, Mu Xiangxiang obediently followed.

And so, the farce came to an end.

Mu Shuangshuang was exhausted, with such frequent troubles caused by her family. Old Mrs. Mu really had too much free time.

Fortunately, today she witnessed her mother’s progress, at least daring to stand up to Old Mrs. Mu. She believed it wouldn’t be long before her mother could handle Old Mrs. Mu on her own.

By then, the third branch could completely become independent!

”Mom, you should go inside and rest. Fengzi and I are preparing to head to the town,” said Mu Shuangshuang.

”Wait a bit, I’ve just finished frying the meat pies. Have some with Fengzi before you go. The weather’s cooler now, no need to rush,” Yu Si Niang said with concern.

”Okay!”

These days, Yu Si Niang found some free time to reclaim a patch of wasteland near their home for a vegetable garden, so she was mostly home every day.

Knowing how hard Mu Shuangshuang worked, she wouldn’t let Mu Shuangshuang cook, and despite Mu Shuangshuang telling her multiple times, it had no effect, so she just let her be.

With both the family dispute and breakfast delaying them, the sun was up by the time they left for town, meaning it was no longer early hours.

The two hurriedly went to deliver cold noodles to Jiu Si Xuan.

Unexpectedly, they were stopped by Zheng Xiu on the way.

Previously, Mu Shuangshuang thought her words had worked when she didn’t encounter Zheng Xiu causing trouble.

Unbeknownst to her, Zheng Xiu, spoiled as she was, had been confined by Zheng Zhi afterward and only released recently.

Once out, she immediately sought trouble with Mu Shuangshuang.

Moreover, she deliberately chose Mu Shuangshuang’s important days.

Today, Zheng Zhi had invited some landlords from Qingshan Town to dine at Jiu Si Xuan, showcasing their two specialties: cold noodles and popcorn. Zheng Xiu intended to stop them, ruin her brother’s business deals, and force him to lose face, thinking he would surely terminate the contract with Mu Shuangshuang.

Then let’s see how Mu Shuangshuang struts around.

”Miss Zheng, are you planning to escort me to Jiu Si Xuan or what?”

While speaking, Mu Shuangshuang was winking at Lu Yuanfeng.

The saying ”a guest with ulterior motives” perfectly described someone like Zheng Xiu.

”You have two choices, bow before me for forgiveness, or leave your popcorn to me!”

This time, Zheng Xiu brought over ten brawny men, all well-trained.

Mu Shuangshuang looked at the robust and well-built brutes in front of her, momentarily at a loss.

It wasn’t the difficulty of a fight, but where to hit first.

”Why are you all standing around? Whoever takes down these two today will earn a silver tael from me!” Zheng Xiu commanded with authority.

Mu Shuangshuang quickly retorted, ”Whoever gives this girl a beating, I’ll pay two silver taels!”
