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

Chapter 627: Chapter 623: The Secret of the Slim Aunt (Second Update)

Old Mrs. Mu carried the eggs straight to the kitchen.

She started a fire in the kitchen and poured half a bowl of rapeseed oil into the heated iron wok.

Once the oil was ready, two eggs went into the pan at the same time.

Mu Xiangxiang liked burnt fried eggs, and Old Mrs. Mu was quite adept at making them.

The two eggs, once cooked, were sprinkled with a bit of chopped green onions.

Then she fried two greens with three spoonfuls of lard.

Since Mr. Mu didn’t allow the rice to be touched, Old Mrs. Mu made some dough lumps.

A half-pot full of dough lumps was cooked, placed into a bowl resembling a wooden basin, and overturned with the eggs for Mu Xiangxiang.

Only then, Old Mrs. Mu happily went to the courtyard to call Mu Xiangxiang.

When Mu Xiangxiang heard that the meal was ready, she almost ran so fast that her bottom exploded. As she entered the kitchen, a fragrant aroma greeted her.

”Mom, it’s the smell of lard, did you add lard for me?”

Looking at the kitchen counter, there was a bowl full of dough lumps, and beside it, greens stir-fried in lard. Mu Xiangxiang was overjoyed.

The gloom of the morning was swept away.

”Yes indeed, Xiangxiang, eat quickly. After you eat, I’ll let Old Fourth’s wife wash the dishes. That lazy woman will be back this evening.”

”Okay!” Mu Xiangxiang nodded heavily.

She couldn’t wait and stuffed the still-hot fried egg into her mouth, resulting in a grimace from the burn, which made Old Mrs. Mu feel heartbroken.

”That damn third son’s wife, their eggs are always hotter than everyone else’s. Wait till this old lady skins her next time!”

Mu Shuangshuang happened to hear this just as she arrived, and she felt quite annoyed.

Stealing eggs from her house was bad enough, now talking bad behind her mom’s back.

The old woman was too wicked.

Mu Shuangshuang had initially wanted to rush in immediately, but it seemed unnecessary now. Every time Mu Xiangxiang ate so much, she had to go to the toilet. This time she wanted to see exactly what she was up to.

Mu Shuangshuang hid in the dark.

The people in the kitchen couldn’t see her, but she could see inside.

Mu Xiangxiang opened her mouth wide, like a machine, constantly stuffing things into it, saying how good it tasted while eating.

Mu Shuangshuang really thought Mu Xiangxiang reincarnated from a starving ghost, eating like this, it would take a golden or silver mountain to fill her.

She wondered how many times in a day she had to go to the toilet.

Mu Shuangshuang foolishly thought.

It was at this moment that a familiar warmth suddenly appeared beside her, a familiar scent filled her nostrils, and she turned to see Lu Yuanfeng next to her, staring into the kitchen.

But he was just looking at the wall, not at Mu Xiangxiang.

Because he remembered Shuangshuang had once told him not to look at other women.

Seeing Lu Yuanfeng looking so seriously at the wall, Mu Shuangshuang burst into laughter: ”I permit you to look at my little aunt!”

Only then did Lu Yuanfeng glance at Mu Xiangxiang, and even he was startled by her eating manner.

”Do you think your little aunt has some sort of illness? I’ve never seen anyone in the military eat like this.”

”Probably, and what’s really scary is that she’s not even gaining weight!”

Normally speaking, eating should provide nutrition, and with nutrition, one gains weight, unless there’s a lot of exercise involved, but that wouldn’t make sense either.

Mu Xiangxiang’s way of eating, no amount of running could burn all those calories.

”Forget it, let’s stop talking about her. Maybe she’s just born this way!”

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng watched Mu Xiangxiang for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and she finished eating like a pig at the trough.

After eating, she tossed the bowl aside, wiped her mouth, not bothering to fix her messy hair.

”Xiangxiang, are you still hungry? Shall I make you more?” Old Mrs. Mu asked kindly.

”No need, Mom, you go take a nap, Xiangxiang wants to sit here for a while!”

”This...” Old Mrs. Mu still wanted to chat with her daughter.

”Mom, if you don’t leave, I won’t talk to you anymore in the future!”

Old Mrs. Mu had no choice but to leave.

As soon as Old Mrs. Mu left, Mu Xiangxiang immediately shut the kitchen door.

Seeing her mysterious look, Mu Shuangshuang told Lu Yuanfeng a few things and quietly followed her.

What happened next was truly shocking.

Mu Xiangxiang hugged a slop bucket and began to vomit violently. After a break from vomiting, Mu Shuangshuang saw her stick her finger down her throat.

Another round of heaving...

Mu Shuangshuang finally understood why Mu Xiangxiang didn’t gain weight.

She probably learned from someone, eating and then inducing vomiting, so she could eat whatever she wanted without worrying about gaining weight.

But isn’t this the method many women in modern times use to lose weight?

How does Mu Xiangxiang know?

Of course, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t think Mu Xiangxiang, like her, was from another time.

She just thought that a woman’s love for beauty knows no age.

Judging by Mu Xiangxiang’s skilled actions, it wasn’t her first time.

If this continues, problems will arise sooner or later.

In the kitchen, Mu Xiangxiang, after finishing vomiting and rinsing her mouth with water, felt hungry again.

The inducing vomiting method was one her eldest sister had heard from other ladies as a slimming trick.

Mu Xiangxiang had been a glutton since childhood, always eating twice as much as others, and it got worse with age.

But every time she ate till she was stuffed, and kept gaining weight.

Finally finding this method, Mu Xianxian dared not try it, so Mu Xiangxiang gave it a go, and for almost a year, she ate as much as she wanted without a care.

Seeing that Mu Xiangxiang was about to get up, Mu Shuangshuang quickly ran away.

She went over to Lu Yuanfeng.

”Fengzi, let’s go quickly!”

”Aren’t you going to confront your grandma and your little aunt?” Lu Yuanfeng asked curiously.

He wasn’t sure what Shuangshuang saw, but it seemed she was letting it go.

”No, you don’t know, my little aunt is crazy...”

Mu Shuangshuang shared everything she saw with Lu Yuanfeng, who was equally surprised.

He had never heard of someone eating and then throwing it up.

The two of them headed home together.

Mu Shuangshuang also shared this matter with Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang.

Their reactions were quite similar to Lu Yuanfeng’s.

But since Mu Xiangxiang was after all Mu Dashan’s sister, he did have feelings for her.

”How did Xiangxiang turn out like this? She was such a well-behaved child before.”

Mu Dashan remembered her following him at the age of three.

However, from the age of five, Mu Xiangxiang started going astray, and no one in the family dared to challenge her for anything.

Whatever she wanted, had to be given, otherwise Old Mrs. Mu would beat them.

”Dad, I don’t know either, but if my little aunt continues like this, something will surely happen, and it might even become fatal!”

She couldn’t explain those stomach cancers to Mu Dashan, as he wouldn’t understand even if she did.

Mu Xiangxiang’s defiant behavior was definitely unacceptable.

”Shuangshuang’s father, do you think we should tell Dad and Mom about this?” Yu Si Niang hesitated before speaking.

In theory, the third branch shouldn’t interfere with this matter.

But it’s also a matter of life, if Mu Xiangxiang really dies because of this, it would also be quite upsetting, as they’re all under the same roof after all.

”This...” Mu Dashan was also troubled.

If they don’t talk, his sister might be lost, but if they do, would their parents believe it?
