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

Chapter 564: Chapter 560: Counterattack (Third Update)

This kind of scene played out every day. Ever since Chen Hong was beaten by Old Mrs. Mu last time, she had learned her lesson.

Even if she couldn’t win the fight, she wanted to anger Old Mrs. Mu to death, to show the old lady her strength.

When Mu Shuangshuang appeared at the door, Mu Dalang just finished a bowl of dry rice.

He didn’t get involved in family quarrels.

To avoid being blamed later.

Moreover, he hadn’t managed the task Shuangshuang assigned yesterday, which made Mu Dalang even more anxious. When he looked up, he saw Shuangshuang walking in from outside, and he stood up straightaway.

”Grandpa, Grandma, I’m full!”

Mr. Mu also saw Mu Shuangshuang and, thinking of his child still in jail, asked her, ”Shuang, how’s your father? What did the government say? Can he be released?”

”What else can they say? He’s locked up inside, can’t come out! This third son is a fool, ruined his life by marrying a woman like this. Why couldn’t he find anyone else, but had to choose this jinx, this death omen!”

Old Mrs. Mu, having just been upset by Chen Hong, needed to vent her anger and happened to take it out on Shuang from the third branch who just arrived.

”My parents haven’t committed any crime, and they won’t stay imprisoned forever. Even if they’ve been falsely accused, the Old Mu Family can’t escape blame. With a brother and sister-in-law in jail, Big Uncle shouldn’t dream of becoming an official!”

Mu Shuangshuang said coldly.

Related to Mu Dade, Old Mrs. Mu was furious, her veins bulging, and she shouted at Mu Shuangshuang, ”You rotten girl, dare to talk nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”

Old Mrs. Mu rushed forward, but Mu Shuangshuang swiftly dodged and closed the upper room’s door, causing Old Mrs. Mu’s head to hit the door with a crisp ”bang.”

This was the first time Mu Shuangshuang openly confronted Old Mrs. Mu. Before, she kept things under wraps or reasoned with her, but Old Mrs. Mu’s words today were extremely hurtful.

Little Zhi and Xiao Han are her grandsons. Such a big matter has happened, knowing no one is taking care of the two kids, but she didn’t come to check on them.

She even hoped that the third branch would be jailed for decades!

Let’s not even mention that Old Mrs. Mu is their mother; even if it were someone else, knowing the third branch was suffering, they would come to inquire.

This time, Mu Shuangshuang truly saw through the Old Mu Family. In the future, she wouldn’t even give a single straw to these ingrates from the Old Mu Family.

From the upper room came Old Mrs. Mu’s pig-like howls. As she screeched, she cursed Mu Shuangshuang with all sorts of nasty words.

Mu Dalang, filled with rage upon hearing this, turned to find Old Mrs. Mu to reason with her but was stopped by Mu Shuangshuang.

”Cousin, don’t waste time; arguing with her is futile. She won’t listen anyway, so why waste your breath!”

Mu Dalang looked apologetic. As the elder brother, he was supposed to protect Shuangshuang.

As a grandson, he was also responsible for setting a good example for his grandmother.

Thinking it over, Mu Dalang felt he was failing as a person.

On top of that, failing to find Xia Guagua yesterday, Mu Dalang increasingly felt useless.

”Shuangshuang, I’m sorry, I... I didn’t find Xia Guagua!”

”Hmm, I figured. If it’s Xia Guagua, maybe she’s already run away.”

Mu Shuangshuang still planned to find someone at the Lu Family. If they truly couldn’t find anyone, she would tell the Wang Family about seeing Xia Guagua with Wang Fugui that day, to make the Wang Family withdraw their lawsuit.

After all, they had a second option.

After watering his horse, Lu Yuanfeng went straight to Old Lu Family. Before even entering, he was blocked by the imposing Gu Jiulian.

”You wicked boy, hanging out with that wicked girl who’s a murderer. Did you kill our Guagua?” Gu Jiulian asked.

Yesterday morning, Gu Jiulian knew when Wang Fugui came to find Xia Guagua because she personally pushed Xia Guagua out the door.

She wasn’t worried about her daughter facing any misfortune since she was going to marry into the Old Wang Family.

Moreover, marrying into Old Wang Family came with a dowry of fifty taels, unmatched in the entire Qingshan Town. So, Gu Jiulian wished for something to happen between Wang Fugui and her daughter, hoping for a child to be born into the Old Wang Family, transferring their wealth over.

But who could have expected Wang Fugui would end up half-dead and disabled, and her daughter would disappear?

”Where is Xia Guagua?” Lu Yuanfeng didn’t answer Gu Jiulian’s question but asked her about Xia Guagua’s whereabouts instead.

”How would I know, you wicked boy, murderer, you and that wicked girl are in cahoots, give me back my daughter...”

As Gu Jiulian scolded, she attempted to scratch Lu Yuanfeng.

Mu Shuangshuang coincidentally arrived at this moment. She rushed up and slapped Gu Jiulian hard on the face, loudly demanding, ”Where did Xia Guagua go?”

Stunned by the slap, Gu Jiulian didn’t respond for a long time, so Mu Shuangshuang kicked her a few more times.

The two immediately started fighting. Gu Jiulian attempted to grab Mu Shuangshuang’s hair, but Mu Shuangshuang dodged. Gu Jiulian then aimed kicks at Mu Shuangshuang’s lower body, using every malicious trick she could think of.

Mu Dalang and Lu Yuanfeng watched with reddened eyes, fearing for Shuangshuang’s safety. The two men wanted to rush forward and separate Gu Jiulian, but Mu Shuangshuang stopped them.

”It’s a fight between women; don’t get involved. Stay far away, so it’s not blamed on you later!”

Gu Jiulian was a shrew; if she falsely accused the two men of bullying her alone, it would be hard to explain.

Regardless of how malicious Gu Jiulian’s moves were, Mu Shuangshuang always managed to dodge; Gu Jiulian kept getting the short end of the stick, after all, Mu Shuangshuang was the one good at fighting.

”Slap! Slap!” The sound of slaps echoed on Gu Jiulian’s face. In the courtyard, several sisters-in-law saw this and didn’t dare to come out to speak, fearing they’d get hit too.

Finally, Gu Jiulian ended up with a missing tooth, not daring to pick up the bloody tooth from the ground as she cried and pleaded for mercy.

”Ouch, I... Shuangshuang I was wrong, I was wrong... I dare not again...”

Gu Jiulian’s face was beaten bruised, crying with mixed tears and snot.

”Where is Xia Guagua? Did she run away?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”I’m also looking for that wretched girl. She didn’t come back last night. If she does, I’ll have her come find you, okay? Just treat me as a fart and release me, I’m in pain...”

Gu Jiulian said with extreme grievance, and Mu Shuangshuang felt she didn’t seem to be lying.

So she released Gu Jiulian.

But she still rushed inside to look for Xia Guagua, finding no one in the end.

Mu Shuangshuang believed Xia Guagua had run away.

At once, her head felt like it was going to explode.

In such a vast area, if Xia Guagua ran away, she really wouldn’t be found.

”Shuangshuang, let’s go to the Old Wang Family and clarify this whole thing; let them withdraw the lawsuit!”

Lu Yuanfeng said.

Mu Shuangshuang then gathered up her spirit and went with Lu Yuanfeng to find the people from Old Wang Family.

Who would have thought, the missing Xia Guagua turned up at Old Wang Family, currently lodging a complaint against them...
