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

Chapter 937: Chapter 933: Timely Help in the Snow (Part 2)

Mu Shuangshuang was walking at the end of the group with Feng Xiaohua, chatting about secrets between best friends.

Unfortunately, someone didn’t know when to leave, sticking close to Mu Shuangshuang and Feng Xiaohua, eavesdropping on a lot of secret conversations between the two, despite Mu Shuangshuang’s attempts to wink and signal them to leave.

”Shuangshuang, it’s been a while since we last met, you’ve become as pretty as Fourth Sis.” Feng Xiaohua gazed enviously at Mu Shuangshuang.

”Aunt Xiao Hua too, you’ve changed a lot. Compared to before, there’s a mature charm about you now, and a touch of maternal glow. Are you... pregnant?” Mu Shuangshuang asked casually.

Unexpectedly, she got a positive answer.

”Yes! It’s been a month.” Feng Xiaohua smiled lightly.

Mu Shuangshuang’s guess was right; Feng Xiaohua was originally a gentle, demure type of girl, always speaking and acting softly.

But earlier, when Mrs. Li was standing beside her, Mu Shuangshuang clearly felt that Feng Xiaohua had toughened up a bit compared to before, and was subconsciously protecting her own belly.

”Shuang, your second aunt is here to take care of your Aunt Xiao Hua. When it comes to giving birth, I have experience; when the time comes, Xiao Hua doesn’t even need a midwife, just me.”

Mrs. Li patted her chest in a flattering manner, looking at Feng Xiaohua.

Unfortunately, neither seemed to buy it.

Mu Shuangshuang suddenly said, ”Aunt Xiao Hua, we should hurry up. I left a lot of delicious snacks at home, if we’re late they might be gobbled up by the kids there.”

Upon hearing about the food, Mrs. Li’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

She thought flattering Mu Shuangshuang and Feng Xiaohua wouldn’t mean much anyway, since those two brats wouldn’t give her a good face to see.

She simply abandoned Mu Shuangshuang and Feng Xiaohua, and dashed toward the third branch.

As she ran, she held her belly and shouted, ”Xiao Hua, Shuang, I’m having stomach troubles, I might mess myself soon. I need to find a toilet first, hurry and follow!”

In no time, Mrs. Li disappeared from sight.

As Mrs. Li walked away, the smile on Mu Shuangshuang’s face disappeared.

”Aunt Xiao Hua, wasn’t Mrs. Li divorced? How come she’s back?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”She was divorced, then she returned to Li Family Village. Her family quickly found her a match with a fifty-year-old widower.

It’s said he killed someone when he was young, and basically, his reputation in their village is as bad as the maggots in a pit.

Mrs. Li didn’t want to marry him, so the night before the wedding she ran back to Yu Family Village, cried, made a scene, and insisted she was Talen’s biological mother to make her parents keep her.

Her parents relented, but it didn’t take half a day before she went overboard, ate two of our chickens, and refused to work.

Her parents wouldn’t give her a kind face anymore. This time, she heard you opened a restaurant and built a private school, ignored her parents’ opposition, insisted on coming, and her parents couldn’t do anything about it.

After listening to Feng Xiaohua’s explanation, Mu Shuangshuang suddenly understood everything.

Turns out, Mrs. Li is shamelessly clinging to the Old Yu Family wanting benefits from them.

But a divorced wife returning to her husband’s house, in the Da Ning Dynasty, only Mrs. Li pulled that off.

Even when Mu Zhenzhen was abandoned by Zhuangzi, she knew it wasn’t right to stay at Zhuangzi’s place.

”What does Second Uncle think about it?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”Your second uncle thinks to just stick it out for now. Talen’s still young, indeed he can’t be without a mom, but as for remarrying, it’s going to depend on Mrs. Li’s behavior.”

Feng Xiaohua finished and added another sentence, ”But at this rate, it doesn’t look promising.”

Mu Shuangshuang thought so too.

”But Aunt Xiao Hua, you still have to be on guard against that woman, she did that kind of thing back then.” Mu Shuangshuang said.

”Yes! I know, ever since I got pregnant, everything I eat is made by mom, she’s not allowed in the kitchen. Mom even said if she tries any funny business, she’ll send her to the pond to drown.”

Mu Shuangshuang was taken aback, surprised that even the kindly Old Mrs. Yu would speak of such heavy punishment.

The two chatted happily along the way and soon arrived at the third branch.

Before they had time to catch their breath, Yu Liulang took advantage of everyone being distracted and called Mu Shuangshuang into her room.

In front of Feng Xiaohua, Yu Liulang took out a big cloth bag from his chest.

He handed the bag to Feng Xiaohua, who handed it over to Mu Shuangshuang.

At first, Mu Shuangshuang thought it was just some snacks or goodies, so she accepted without hesitation.

When she unwrapped the cloth bag layer by layer, she was dumbfounded.

Inside the cloth were broken silver pieces, roughly estimated at thirty or forty taels.

”Sixth Uncle, Aunt, what are you doing? This silver...” Mu Shuangshuang looked at the couple in confusion.

”This is for you to renovate the restaurant. I heard from your dad that you need a large sum of silver for the renovation. Xiaohua and I have only this much, if it’s not enough, I’ll sell spring tea and gather more for you.”

Mu Shuangshuang shook her head like a rattle, handing the silver back: ”No, Sixth Uncle, how can I take your money?

I’ll wait until the private school enrolls some kids and we collect the gift, then I’ll have enough silver to renovate.”

”The private school money is for the school! Plus, you think the school will run without money? If you use that money, how will the school operate later?”

”Don’t think Sixth Uncle’s words are too much or nagging, you and Yuan Feng haven’t had it easy, Xiaohua and I will help as long as we can. Money is just external, the most important is for the family to be happy.”

Yu Liulang handed the silver back again.

Mu Shuangshuang had no choice but to turn to Feng Xiaohua for help, hoping she could persuade Yu Liulang to change his mind.

”Aunt Xiao Hua...”

”Shuangshuang, your Sixth Uncle’s thoughts are mine too. We’re waiting for your restaurant to open soon, and also the private school, you must run it well. In a few years, when our kid grows up, we’ll send him here too.”

To say she wasn’t touched would be lying.

These days, Mu Shuangshuang had been worrying about the restaurant renovation.

Because of that, Lu Yuanfeng would go to the mountains during his free time, hunting more to gather the renovation money sooner.

To get the restaurant up and running.

Today, Yu Liulang came and solved her problem, and didn’t even mention when to repay the money, making it clear he didn’t want to add pressure.

”Thank you... thank you! Sixth Uncle, Aunt Xiao Hua, for helping Shuangshuang today. Shuangshuang will repay you tenfold, a hundredfold someday!”

Just as Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, the door was kicked open.

Mrs. Li’s twisted face from jealousy appeared before everyone.

”Well, Yu Liulang, what did you say to me before? No money, couldn’t bring out money!

Now, you actually... actually gave all the money to outsiders! You... you!

If I hadn’t gotten suspicious and secretly followed, do you plan to give away the Old Yu Family’s tea garden too?”
