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

Chapter 611: Chapter 607: The Second Wife Competes with the First Wife (Part 1)

”Dealing with your big aunt? Shuang, you must be joking with your second aunt, your big aunt is the wife of a scholar!”

Mrs. Lin stared at Mu Shuangshuang in shock, doubting if she heard correctly.

How could this girl say such a thing?

If she offends Mrs. Jin, how could she have good days ahead?

”Second aunt, in your current situation, if you don’t blame my big aunt, who else can you blame?

Even if you successfully pin this matter on me today, after my grandmother troubles me, she won’t let you off either.

Because you also didn’t protect her eldest grandson. But if the culprit is my big aunt, it’s a different story.

My grandmother resents her but doesn’t dare to confront her. Besides, she owes you a life, at that time it wouldn’t be good to throw out your second branch!”

Mu Shuangshuang’s idea was indeed mischievous, redirecting trouble so that the first branch could taste being wronged.

Mrs. Lin had a flash of insight, suddenly feeling Mu Shuangshuang’s idea was a good one.

Why didn’t she think to harm Mrs. Jin earlier?

If Mrs. Jin owed her a life, it would be much more useful than this brat.

Mrs. Lin’s eyes rolled a few times, then quickly ran towards the main house of the Old Mu Family...

Mu Shuangshuang threw the wooden stick she was holding onto the ground, clapped the dust from her palms, and smiled slyly in the direction Mrs. Lin had left.

The second branch and the first branch are fighting, this time there’s another drama to watch at the Old Mu Family!

Yu Si Niang had nearly finished washing the clothes in the wooden basin, just needed to take them to the creek at the village head to rinse.

After tidying up the last piece of clothing, Yu Si Niang stood up, holding the wooden bucket.

Mu Shuangshuang came over just as Yu Si Niang was about to go out with the clothes, Mu Shuangshuang caught up and lent a hand.

”Mom, let Shuangshuang escort you there.”

”No need, I told you to rest. There aren’t many clothes here, it’s not like mom can’t carry them.”

Mu Shuangshuang thought it over, knowing there would be chaos at the Old Mu Family soon, Yu Si Niang being absent would be safer, so she let go and allowed Yu Si Niang to go to the river to wash clothes.

Standing in the courtyard for a while, Mu Shuangshuang estimated that it should be about time, but no shouting had come from the Old Mu Family yet.

Old Mu Family

Mrs. Lin held her belly, looking everywhere for Mrs. Jin, and finally found her near the main room.

Mrs. Jin was holding a basin of clear water, who knows what she was planning to do with it.

Mrs. Lin quickly approached.

”Big sister-in-law, big sister-in-law, carrying water must be tiring, let me help you.”

Seeing someone offering to do labor, Mrs. Jin didn’t hesitate and handed the basin to Mrs. Lin.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mrs. Lin touched the basin, her hand slipped, the basin fell to the ground, landing on Mrs. Jin’s foot, causing Mrs. Jin to jump up with a start and, in chaos, knock over Mrs. Lin.

At the moment her body hit the floor, Mrs. Lin felt heaven was on her side.

Mrs. Lin yelled loudly: ”Oh my, my heavens, the child, my child...”

Inside the main room, Old Mrs. Mu was supervising Mu Qingqing doing needlework; ever since Mrs. Lin was with child, the household needlework income stopped nearly completely. Old Mrs. Mu certainly wasn’t happy, so the daughter must repay the mother’s debt, dragging Mu Qingqing to do needlework daily and not allowing her to eat if she didn’t complete it.

Hearing the shouting from the yard, Old Mrs. Mu, with a poisonous glare, stomped out.

In the yard, Mrs. Lin was clutching her stomach and moaning loudly; that bit of chicken blood had already soaked through her pants, visible as a red stain from afar.

Mrs. Jin hadn’t regained her composure yet, hearing Mrs. Lin’s screams, she panicked.

”Second daughter-in-law, I didn’t knock you down, get up quickly, you can’t blame this child’s accident on me.” Mrs. Jin shouted beside her.

”Big sister-in-law, what... what are you saying? You clearly knocked me over... Mom... mom, come quickly, your eldest grandson is gone...”

”You two women yelling in the yard, Mrs. Lin, you troublemaker are up to mischief again!” Old Mrs. Mu cursed as she rushed over.

Hearing those harsh words, Mrs. Lin was relieved she chose to harm Mrs. Jin; if she had targeted the third branch’s brat at this moment, she’d probably be skinned.

”Mom! Big sister-in-law knocked me, my belly hurts... it hurts...” Mrs. Lin accused while crying loudly.

Old Mrs. Mu saw the large red stain in Mrs. Lin’s pants, Mrs. Jin standing by, looking helplessly at Mrs. Lin, and Old Mrs. Mu felt blood rush to her head.

”Oh my, you damned woman, my eldest grandson, my grandson...”

Old Mrs. Mu cursed while shouting at Mrs. Jin: ”You damned woman, dare to harm my grandson, you eggless old hen, now you’re jealous of other people’s sons, heavens, what a disaster the Old Mu Family married such a scourge.”

Mrs. Jin was stunned. The old woman used to scold her as an eggless hen; now that she was a scholar’s wife and soon her husband would take the county registrar position, she’d be a dignified official’s wife in the county. Yet she still dared to scold her?

”Mom, it’s not my fault, the second daughter-in-law insisted on carrying water for me, she fell by herself and blames me?” Mrs. Jin refused to back down.

Old Mrs. Mu’s fury reached its peak, she slapped Mrs. Jin’s face, causing her to see stars.

In the yard, chaos ensued; Mrs. Lin’s pig-like cries, Mrs. Jin’s sobbing, Old Mrs. Mu’s street-scolding echoed.

Mr. Mu dashed into the yard, seeing the uproar, especially Mrs. Lin, he anxiously shouted: ”Why are you all yelling? Hurry and call the doctor, call Zhang Huai Shu, what kind of sins has the Old Mu Family committed!”

”Dad, Zhang Huai Shu doesn’t take our family’s cases anymore, last time mom drove him away, he still resents our family.” Mu Dazhong rushed over.

Though he didn’t know how his wife pinned the matter on the first branch, things were as they were, and he had to follow along with it.

”It’s come to this point, a matter of life and death, you still yelling here, get lost!” Mr. Mu shoved Mu Dazhong aside.

He directed others to help Mrs. Lin inside to rest.

Mu Shuangshuang ran into the Old Mu Family courtyard upon hearing the commotion, the situation was worse than she imagined, the Old Mu Family was in chaos, Mr. Mu was furious, seemingly taking the matter seriously.

Hearing Mr. Mu instruct Mu Dazhong to call Zhang Huai Shu, Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes sparked with a sharp glint.

She followed Mu Dazhong out of the Old Mu Family courtyard.

On the road, Mu Dazhong walked like a snail, not wanting to go to Zhang Huai Shu’s house and get unlucky, yet he couldn’t report back empty-handed to his father.

Thinking it over, Mu Dazhong decided to dawdle along the road, avoiding going to ask Zhang Huai Shu.

After all, he said earlier that Gou Dan’s mother was pregnant; if he went again, there would certainly be trouble.

Mu Shuangshuang realized Mu Dazhong didn’t intend to call anyone, and felt that his mind wasn’t slow, but Zhang Huai Shu had to come, otherwise Mr. Mu would surely spread word of this matter.

Understanding the situation, Mu Shuangshuang went to Zhang Huai Shu’s house by herself.
