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

Chapter 1021: Chapter 1017: Still Want to Go Back on Your Word? (First Update)

”Grandpa, I’ve already made my decision about this! Peach and I want to split from the family!” Mu Dalang shook his head at Mr. Mu.

Mr. Mu’s goodwill was something Mu Dalang couldn’t accept, nor would he.

Mu Dade’s status and the future of the Old Mu Family might be appealing enough to others.

But for Mu Dalang, who had just been through the ordeal with Huang Bita, these things were not as important as a life.

He just wanted Peach to live well, even if it meant enduring some hardship; it didn’t matter.

Mr. Mu was very disappointed, but despite his disappointment, he had no way to control the development of the situation.

If splitting the family could calm the matter for Dalang today, Mr. Mu had no choice but to agree.

He called upon the village chief, village elders, and also Fu Wu to help draft the document for splitting the family.

In just half an hour, the document was drafted.

Two acres of land, three and a half taels of silver, and the Old Mu Family would reclaim the house given to Mu Dalang.

In the future, Mu Dalang and Huang Bita only needed to take responsibility for caring for Mu Dazhong and Mrs. Lin in their old age until their final moments.

Before putting a seal on the document, Mr. Mu still looked at Mu Dalang, hoping he would change his mind.

The Old Mu Family had people splitting off one after another; this news would inevitably lead to gossip in the village, especially with everything that happened earlier this morning at the Old Mu Family.

The Old Mu Family had now become the topic of conversation for others’ leisure time around meals.

Mu Dalang ignored Mr. Mu’s gaze and solemnly pressed his fingerprint on the document, then said, ”Grandpa, Peach’s injury hasn’t healed yet. We will stay at the Old Mu Family for a while longer, and when her back injury is healed, I will immediately move out!”

Mr. Mu was taken aback as he looked at the fingerprint on the document, feeling a bit sorrowful for some reason.

But ultimately, he pressed his fingerprint too.

He did not refuse Mu Dalang’s request.

”You can stay as long as you want!”

As soon as Mr. Mu finished speaking, the village chief chimed in.

”Old man, how is Dalang’s wife?”

”She’s not in any danger anymore, village chief, today’s incident was Xiangxiang’s mother’s fault. I have already reprimanded her. Since it’s our family’s private matter, we’ve decided to handle it ourselves,” said Mr. Mu.

The village chief had expected it would be like this, so he never intended to get involved in this muddy water.

”Alright! Since it’s your Old Mu Family’s private matter, naturally, I won’t interfere. But you should also tell the elders, our Er Gui Village has always been simple and honest, and people wouldn’t turn their blades against their own.

We wouldn’t harm our own. What happened in the past is over; if this continues, even with Dade as the scholar, we would report to the government!”

These words made Mr. Mu’s face turn red with embarrassment.

He bowed his head repeatedly, apologizing profusely.

At this moment, he lacked the presence of a scholar’s father completely; in front of the village chief, he became the most insignificant one.

”Alright, old man, we trust your words. Such things should not happen again in the future.

Also, although Dalang has split from the family, the injury to Dalang’s wife was caused by the elder, so it’s appropriate to get some nourishing items for her!”

said the village chief.

”I understand, thank you for the advice, village chief!”

Mr. Mu nodded and bowed, sending the people out of the Old Mu Family’s courtyard.

When he returned, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

This matter was a significant blow to Mr. Mu, likely something he wouldn’t recover from quickly.

He went straight to the backyard and slapped the document in front of Old Mrs. Mu.

Old Mrs. Mu couldn’t read, but she recognized the seal on the document; it was identical to the one from the last family split.

”Oh my goodness, did that little brat really split off?”

Old Mrs. Mu was almost furious.

”What did you expect? You cut that girl like that, and you thought people would willingly serve you by your bedside?” Mr. Mu sneered, his tone full of disdain.

”Why shouldn’t he serve me? Shouldn’t my grandson serve me? Instead, that animal, for a worthless woman, doesn’t even want his family.”

Old Mrs. Mu cursed furiously.

Mr. Mu watched this stubborn person, anger rising in his chest, unable to be vented.

”Enough, just quiet down. This matter has reached this state, and you have an unavoidable responsibility. If you hadn’t gone to the Sun Family and used a knife, would this have happened?”

Mr. Mu glared at Old Mrs. Mu, his face painfully pale.

Old Mrs. Mu still wouldn’t yield. She said: ”Why is it my fault? It’s clearly that lowly woman Lin Xiaozao’s fault. If she hadn’t deliberately incited, would I have gone to the Sun Family to make trouble?”

”And Fifth, it was him who pushed her. If he hadn’t pushed, Huang Bita wouldn’t have been injured.”

”You... you...” Mr. Mu was extremely agitated.

Everything went dark in front of him, and he directly fainted.

Old Mrs. Mu continued to argue, completely unaware that Mr. Mu had passed out.

When Old Mrs. Mu realized no one was in front of her anymore, she had been cursing for quite a while already.

”Oh no, old man, what’s wrong with you?”

”Someone, your father has fainted, come quickly...”

----

Mr. Mu lay on the bed for three whole days, during which Zhang Huai Shu came once.

He just said there was too much resentment in his heart, ostensibly a breath that hadn’t been smoothed.

For Mr. Mu to recover, he would have to smooth that breath completely.

But because Mr. Mu was depressed due to the matter of splitting the family, smoothing it seemed impossible.

Everyone could only take one step at a time.

Additionally, Mu Xiangxiang had been causing a stir at home for the past few days, and Old Mrs. Mu was momentarily careless, letting Mu Xiangxiang escape.

While Old Mrs. Mu was preoccupied with caring for Mr. Mu, Mu Xiangxiang had already made her way to the Sun family.

Sun Dali was drying rice in the courtyard; recently, Mu Xiangxiang had consumed too much rice grain at the Sun family.

Now the Sun family needed to replenish rice grain for the busy spring season.

Mu Xiangxiang suddenly stormed into the courtyard, startling Sun Dali, rendering him speechless for a long moment.

Seeing Mu Xiangxiang, a hint of delight flashed in Sun Dali’s heart, but it quickly returned to calm.

He stiffened his face, saying to Mu Xiangxiang, ”Hurry up and leave!”

”Why, Brother Dali?”

Mu Xiangxiang said.

”No reason, just hurry up and leave!” Sun Dali said.

”If you don’t tell me the reason, I won’t leave!” Mu Xiangxiang spoke while glancing toward the Sun family’s kitchen.

Mu Xiangxiang had chosen her moment perfectly; it was exactly when the Sun family was having breakfast.

She could even smell the aroma wafting from the Sun family’s kitchen.

”My mother is inside, hurry up and leave!” Sun Dali said.

Mu Xiangxiang refused, and as their voices raised a bit, Qin Guihua, who had just finished making breakfast, poked her head out from the kitchen.

At first glance, she seemed like a raging dragon, pointing at Mu Xiangxiang and starting to yell at her.
