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

Chapter 1168: Chapter 1164: Learn from You? (Third Update)

Mu Dalang walked to the only table in Mrs. Lin’s room, on which sat a teapot.

Several overturned cups were around the teapot.

Mu Dalang picked up one of the cups, and the dirt inside it almost made him drop the cup.

He lifted the teapot, which was empty, not a drop of water inside.

”What are you standing there for? Aren’t you going to pour me some water?”

On the kang bed, Mrs. Lin’s sarcastic and cutting voice rang out again.

Mu Dalang took a deep breath before speaking, ”Mom, wait a bit, I’ll go boil you a pot of water.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Mrs. Lin couldn’t contain her excitement, shivered, wanting to turn around to see Mu Dalang.

But it pulled at the large and small wounds on her body: ”Oh, my goodness, why does it hurt so much...”

Mu Dalang quickly put down the teapot and went forward to help Mrs. Lin.

He carefully helped Mrs. Lin turn around, his hand was then grabbed by Mrs. Lin.

”Dalang, you’re back, my dear son!”

Mrs. Lin looked at Mu Dalang ”affectionately”, and at this moment, Mu Dalang’s heart was soft.

He even felt he should care for the elderly in front of him, treat her well.

But Mrs. Lin’s next sentence revealed her true self.

”Dalang, tell Mom how much money you earned raising pigs for that nasty girl? Mom’s short on cash lately, you should give Mom some!”

Mu Dalang’s expression subtly changed: ”Mom, when I moved out, you knew it, moreover, all that money belongs to Shuangshuang, I can’t take it.”

”Are you stupid? Who says that’s her money? I’m telling you, whoever gets to the money first, it’s theirs!”

”That nasty girl can’t follow you every day. You’re free to do whatever you want, if it doesn’t work out, aren’t there pigs in the pen? You sell them all and bring some money back to honor your mom.

Mom has raised you for so many years, never expecting anything from you, this small matter, Mom entrusts it to you.

Also, also, your uncle is going to be the county magistrate, you should see when to divorce that village wife, anyway, it didn’t cost much to marry her!”

Mrs. Lin spoke while spitting as she talked.

If she were only talking about money, maybe Mu Dalang would ignore her.

But when she mentioned Huang Bita, Mu Dalang exploded.

”Mom, are you speaking human words? Shuangshuang let me raise pigs to give me a future, if I secretly sell her pigs, how will she look at me in the future? How will the villagers look at me?” Mu Dalang asked.

”I said you’re stupid, and you really are, the money should be in your own hands, that’s real, you don’t care what others say!” Mrs. Lin looked at Mu Dalang with a face that said you should learn from me.

”Yeah, learn from you, even stole aunt’s bracelet, letting uncle find a reason not to let you go to the county!”

Mu Dalang sarcastically said.

Mrs. Lin became excited, ”You little brat, got pig oil in your mind? I’m kindly teaching you how to make money, and you’re criticizing me here! I’ll honestly tell you, I’m definitely going to the county, your uncle can’t stop me!”

Looking at Mrs. Lin’s possessed appearance, Mu Dalang didn’t want to reason with her anymore.

He let go of his mother, retreating to the side.

Picking up the teapot from the table, Mrs. Lin thought Mu Dalang also wanted to abandon her, thus began to curse: ”Mu Dalang, you little brat, do you have no humanity left, your old mother is like this, you... you...”

Mu Dalang offered no explanation, took the teapot, and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Liu was boiling water, seeing Mu Dalang, she was full of surprise.

Politely, she said to Mu Dalang, ”Dalang, why are you here? Wait a bit, I’ll soon pour you some tea.”

Mu Dalang waved his hand, ”No need, Aunt Liu, I... I’m here to wash my mother’s teapot and cups, she doesn’t have cold water in her room.”

As soon as Mu Dalang finished speaking, Mrs. Liu said, ”Wash the teapot? How about this, you go rest for a while, I’ll help you wash it, it’ll be done quickly.”

Mu Dalang felt warmth in his heart after hearing Mrs. Liu’s words.

Only Aunt Liu, who hadn’t separated from the Old Mu Family yet, was a good person.

”No need, Aunt Liu, I’ll do it myself, you’ve worked hard all morning, go take a break.” Mu Dalang said.

But what he said was useless, Mrs. Liu forcibly took the teapot and cups from his hands.

She found a wooden basin, took some ashes, and in the kitchen started washing the teapot and cups.

Mu Dalang felt a bit embarrassed, he squatted beside Mrs. Liu watching her work.

”Thank you, Aunt Liu!” Mu Dalang said.

Mrs. Liu looked up, smiled at Mu Dalang, but didn’t slow down her hand movements at all.

Mrs. Lin’s teapot hadn’t been washed for about a month, and the scale inside was thick. Mrs. Liu scrubbing back and forth with ashes couldn’t clean it.

Finally, she remembered Shuangshuang’s method, put some vinegar inside the teapot, then got it clean.

Mu Dalang was very embarrassed, he thought if only his mother could be half as diligent as Aunt Liu and Aunt San, the second branch wouldn’t be in such a state.

After washing the teapot, then washing the cups, finishing everything, Mrs. Liu filled the teapot with boiling water.

She said to Mu Dalang, ”Your mom thirsty? There’s cold water in Aunt Liu’s room, you can...”

Mu Dalang waved his hand, ”It’s okay, we’re not in a hurry, my mom... my mom isn’t thirsty!”

Earlier, Mu Dalang was in a hurry, now he thinks his mom should suffer a bit.

Perhaps this way, his mom might realize something.

Chatting with Mrs. Liu for a while, Mu Dalang subtly talked to her, ”Aunt Liu, in fact... moving out isn’t bad, though Bita and I have to work now, it’s for ourselves, for our household.

Every penny earned, we have the right to use it, and most importantly, it’s freedom! You guys... if you’re willing...” Mu Dalang was about to say giving up the unrealistic wealth Mu Dade offered.

But upon further thought, he worries about offending Mrs. Liu.

So he changed his words, ”If you guys don’t want to stay in the Old Mu Family, you can actually go find Shuangshuang, as long as you’re willing to work hard, nothing is impossible!”

Mrs. Liu understood Mu Dalang’s meaning.

She smiled, also told Mu Dalang her thoughts, ”After a while, Xiaxia, recently there’s a matchmaker approaching.

Matchmaker Sun told me, soon she’ll find a good family, once this is settled, Xiaxia’s father and I will think about this matter!”

Mu Dalang nodded, took the teapot, and returned to his mother’s room.

After so long, Mrs. Lin was in the same position as when he left.

Not even having turned over.

Upon seeing Mu Dalang, Mrs. Lin smacked her lips, ”Dalang, is the water ready? Quickly pour some for mom, mom’s been waiting for you a long time, if you don’t come, mom... mom will...”
