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

Chapter 860: Chapter 856: Still Won’t Hold Back (First Update)

”Dad, Mom, listen to this, this stinky girl is so disrespectful, she’s cursing the elders, is she even human?”

Seeing the chaos, Mrs. Lin tried to teach Mu Shuangshuang a lesson, but Mu Shuangshuang glared at her fiercely.

”Second Aunt, I’m cursing those who harm the third branch behind our backs. If you think I’m cursing the elders, then I have nothing more to say.

But Second Aunt, you’d better not harm the third branch, or I won’t be polite!”

Mrs. Lin was so angry that her nose was crooked. Her trembling hand pointed at Mu Shuangshuang, unable to utter half a word.

After arguing with Mrs. Lin, Mu Shuangshuang no longer paid attention to the Old Mu Family, who were so angry they could spit blood, nor Mrs. Jin, who was still convulsing on the ground.

Mu Shuangshuang stepped forward, picked up Xiao Han, and called over Lu Yuanfeng and her parents.

Without resting for a moment, they walked towards the third branch.

This time, the third and the first branch had completely broken off.

From now on, they no longer needed to watch the first branch’s expressions, nor worry about the first branch’s tricks behind their backs because all the hatred would be out in the open, and everyone no longer needed to discreetly plot under the guise of relatives.

Thinking about today’s events, Mu Shuangshuang had only one thought in her heart, and that was satisfaction!

Her mom countered Mrs. Jin, her dad countered her big uncle, every sentence was brilliant and every word was sharp.

It showed her the astonishing explosive power of her otherwise mild-mannered parents. This way, she wouldn’t have to worry about her parents being bullied anymore.

Back at the third branch, Mu Shuangshuang cheerfully started preparing dinner.

Mu Dashan and Lu Yuanfeng were chatting in the room. He asked Lu Yuanfeng about the events of the previous day, and upon learning that a new chef had been hired, Mu Dashan’s mood improved instantly.

He decided he wouldn’t meddle with the matters of the Old Mu Family anymore, but as for the inn, he had to learn to manage it.

Being a helper at the inn wouldn’t be bad, as long as he could help his daughter.

Yu Si Niang made a cup of tea for both Mu Dashan and Lu Yuanfeng. Compared to others’ nonchalance, Yu Si Niang was still a bit uneasy. She said, ”Shuangshuang’s dad, do you think the first branch will trouble us? After all, Shuangshuang’s big uncle is a scholar.”

”Si Niang, don’t worry. Big Brother is a sly person. Even if you don’t offend him, he’ll still scheme against our third branch behind our backs.

The incident today was clearly orchestrated by him.” Mu Dashan said indifferently.

Mu Dashan knew his big brother inside out. Others might be unaware, but how could he, as a brother, not know?

He once thought that his big brother’s affairs required neither calculation nor thought.

But Mu Dade’s remark about never using a penny from Mu Dashan’s earnings completely chilled Mu Dashan’s heart.

He, Mu Dashan, wouldn’t keep offering warm goodwill only to be met with Mu Dade’s cold shoulder.

”Sigh, though it’s resolved for us, it’s Old Fourth’s family who’s going to have a tougher time ahead.” Yu Si Niang sighed.

Hearing this, a look of concern spread across Mu Dashan’s face.

While he could detach and talk about separating from the family, Old Fourth’s family had no fields, no land, no way out, and their future seemed bleak.

Seeing this, Lu Yuanfeng said, ”Third Uncle, Third Aunt, our inn still needs staff. If Fourth Uncle doesn’t mind, he can come work when the inn opens.

The pay might not be much, but it’s income nonetheless, and the inn covers three meals a day. If they save a bit, they can keep the wage.”

Upon hearing Lu Yuanfeng’s suggestion, Mu Dashan’s eyes lit up as he said, ”That’s true, why didn’t I think of that?

But you and Shuangshuang shouldn’t burden yourselves too much. If it’s doable, great. If not, we can give some silver to Old Fourth to set up a small stall in town. Anyway, Old Fourth has pretty much mastered the skill of making puffed rice.”

Speaking of which, Mu Dajiang, who nearly blew up the house trying, eventually managed to make decent puffed rice after several attempts.

Once the weather warms up, he can start making it outside.

”That works. I’ll discuss it with Shuangshuang later.”

Lu Yuanfeng trusted Mu Dajiang’s character, knowing him to be an honest farmer without any deceitful thoughts.

And when it came to selecting people, both he and Mu Shuangshuang prioritized character over skills, although ideally, they wanted people with both good character and skills.

The three chatted for a while, enjoying two cups of tea.

The fourth branch, Mu Dajiang with Mrs. Liu, came over.

Mu Dajiang’s complexion had returned to normal, while Mrs. Liu’s eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

Upon arrival, they said, ”Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, we’re sorry to trouble you again.”

Mu Dashan quickly stood up, helping Mu Dajiang, ”We’re brothers; there’s no need to apologize. We know you didn’t mean it. But I still don’t understand if Big Brother’s family was involved or not?”

Mu Dajiang nodded, then shook his head, as he narrated the whole incident to Mu Dashan.

When Mu Dade first returned, his first move was to win over the fourth branch.

Because the fourth branch had a good relationship with the third branch.

On that day, many came to the third branch to buy the cold noodles recipe, every one of them was refused by Mu Shuangshuang.

But Mrs. Jin claimed Mu Shuangshuang was selecting the highest bidder, and she could help if Mu Dajiang got involved.

In the end, Mu Dajiang was deceived by Mrs. Jin into signing his fingerprint on a contract with a shopkeeper in a town tavern.

And this happened months ago, something Mu Dajiang completely forgot about once he got busy.

The fourth branch was naturally honest, making it not too difficult for Mrs. Jin to deceive them.

But Mu Dajiang wasn’t aware that this deception brought trouble to the third branch.

”Third Brother, this was all my doing, so don’t forgive me. Just let me face some punishment!” Mu Dajiang said with a pained expression.

Upon hearing this, Mu Dashan let out a long sigh.

”Big Sister-in-law is naturally clever; you were tricked by her, so you can’t be blamed. It’s just that Big Sister-in-law’s too scheming.

Back then, she also tricked me into arranging a marriage for Shuangshuang, under the pretense that what I signed had Shuangshuang’s date of birth and eight characters of destiny.

As someone illiterate, I had no idea what it said.

I never expected that as a sister-in-law, she would deceive her brother-in-law, almost selling Shuangshuang...”

Mentioning this, Mu Dashan still felt a pang of regret.

Even now, he couldn’t get over it.

Had Shuangshuang not regained her senses and chosen to reconnect with the family then, he feared losing such an obedient and understanding daughter forever.

”No, Third Brother, it’s still my fault. If I hadn’t easily trusted Big Sister-in-law, none of this would have happened.” Mu Dajiang insisted, admitting his mistake.

At that moment, Mu Shuangshuang entered the room to scoop rice, hearing this, and said, ”Fourth Uncle indeed made a mistake!”

Mu Dajiang bowed his head in shame.

But then he heard Mu Shuangshuang say, ”But the biggest fault lies with Big Aunt. Fourth Uncle, just focus on saving money for Fourth Aunt and Xiaxia, that’s all.”
