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

”Dad, I’m really happy if you can recognize Shuangshuang, and if Shuangshuang hears it, she’ll definitely be happy too!”

Mu Dashan was full of sincerity. Mr. Mu looked at him and kept recalling the things he had done in the past.

If only he had opened his eyes back then and not listened to the first branch about selling Shuangshuang, the third branch wouldn’t have resisted so much.

He was wrong!

”Dad, why haven’t I seen my mom?” Mu Dashan asked in confusion.

Mr. Mu was about to answer when, coincidentally, Yu Si Niang was shouting from the kitchen, ”Dad, Shuangshuang’s dad, hurry inside and eat!”

The two men stopped chatting and went inside. The smell of grilled fish instantly overwhelmed Mr. Mu’s taste buds.

”Dad, this fish is made using a method Shuangshuang taught us. We put a lot of Sichuan peppercorns in it, so it’s a bit numbing. If you can’t get used to it, just let me know, and I’ll stir-fry a couple of dishes instead!”

On the dining table, there were two small stoves. On the stoves was a rectangular iron box.

Inside the iron box were two large fish, which should be the fish that Shuang caught yesterday, as the third branch mentioned!

There weren’t any other dishes, but Mr. Mu saw the washed greens placed next to it, probably to be added later.

”No worries, I’ll eat whatever you’re eating!” Mr. Mu said.

Little Zhi, Xiao Han, and Yuanbao stood up and called out, ”Hello, Grandpa!”

Mr. Mu chuckled twice, ”Good kids, hurry up and eat! Everyone, eat up!”

”Sir, let me introduce myself first, I’m Luo Bai, the only teacher at the village school!” Luo Bai said politely!

Seeing Luo Bai, Mr. Mu remembered that he hadn’t been to the school in a long time because of Gou Dan, ”Mr. Luo, I have another grandson, Mu Jingui, who used to study at the school but hasn’t been there for a long time now. Could you?”

”Sir, major decisions about the school still need to be made by Miss Shuangshuang. I’m just responsible for teaching!”

Luo Bai smiled and then added, ”Let me say something, please don’t get upset! Mu Jingui isn’t that easy to teach. Without him causing trouble at the school, it’s been much easier for me!”

Being a teacher, Luo Bai wasn’t supposed to say such things.

But ever since Mrs. Lin went to the school to pick up Gou Dan and didn’t care for him properly, which almost led to him drowning.

And even used that incident to make a scene at the school, causing a fuss, Luo Bai had a shadow in his heart towards the second branch of the Old Mu family, including Daddy Gou Dan and Mrs. Lin.

This time, when he said these words, he hoped that Mr. Mu, with his authority, could educate Gou Dan properly, especially Daddy Gou Dan and Mrs. Lin!

Mr. Mu’s face looked a bit awkward. He felt that Luo Bai was slapping him in the face.

Initially, he was smiling, but now he restrained his smile.

”Mr. Lu, don’t be mad at the teacher. What the teacher said is quite polite! In school, Gou Dan spits at his classmates, burns their hair, and doesn’t listen to guidance. The teacher has always been very patient with him!

But his behavior is a disservice to the careful nurturing of the teacher!”

Yuanbao said earnestly, aiming to explain to Luo Bai.

Deeply touched, Luo Bai thought that even though Yuanbao isn’t the smartest kid at school and is a bit of a foodie, his character is in no way inferior to anyone else’s!

”Grandpa, it’s indeed like this. I’m on the same side as Yuanbao, supporting the teacher!” Xiao Han also chimed in.

”And me too, Little Zhi as well! Supporting Brother Luo Bai! Sister said, liking a person isn’t about pampering, but praising them when they do things right!

When they do things wrong, there should be no mercy! If Grandpa truly wants Brother Gou Dan to do well, don’t think Brother Luo Bai said anything wrong!”

Being lectured by a group of kids, this was like a young girl getting into a sedan chair for Mr. Mu, a first!

In the past, he would have gotten angry and stormed off!

But this time, he suddenly felt that the kids made sense.

He realized he was not even as good as a few children!

Whether it was Yuanbao, or Mu Jingui and Fifth, if he hadn’t indulged them blindly back then, they wouldn’t have turned out like that.

While working, Mu Jingui often took long breaks, yet he said nothing, or even if he did, it was very lightly said!

Fifth would squat in the field doing nothing, waiting for Mu Jingui, and he thought since the third and fourth worked, Fifth, being young, resting for a while was no big deal!

If only he hadn’t thought that way back then, hadn’t indulged them!

When Mu Jingui was lazy, he should have stopped it, so Third and Fifth wouldn’t have had to work so much.

Fifth, who knows, might have even gotten married by now!

No need to wait until now, waiting endlessly for a suitable match that never arrives!

Mr. Mu was very regretful, but everything couldn’t go back!

”Mr. Luo, what I said earlier was my mistake, and I won’t dare to be disrespectful to you again. I’ll surely educate Gou Dan when I get back!” Mr. Mu promised.

Luo Bai shook his head, ”I don’t mind. As long as you can properly educate Mu Jingui so he stops causing trouble, I can guarantee that Miss Shuangshuang will never say a single negative word about him. She’s kinder than most people!”

Luo Bai’s words made Mr. Mu feel even more ashamed.

He knew Luo Bai was giving him a way out, and he knew Shuangshuang wasn’t a petty person!

Fine, this time, he decided to be serious!

While the men and kids were talking, Yu Si Niang added rice. Once everyone had a bowl, she sat down to eat with the group.

The fish was already cooked. Mr. Mu picked a piece, and the taste was numbing, spicy, and fragrant in his mouth.

After one bite, he couldn’t get enough, so he had several more.

”The taste is excellent, the more I eat, the more I want to eat! Si Niang, your cooking skills are getting better and better!” Mr. Mu complimented.

”Thank you, Dad, but it was Shuangshuang who taught me! Without her instructions, I wouldn’t know how to do it!”

”Exactly, Dad, I heard this is a specialty at the Shuangshuang Restaurant, and people order it every day!” Mu Dashan also added.

Everyone was happily eating, and during this meal, Mr. Mu alone ate four bowls.

In stark contrast to his claim of arriving with a full stomach.

But Mu Dashan wasn’t about to point this out.

The children, engrossed in eating, didn’t pay attention to how much Mr. Mu had eaten.

After the meal, Luo Bai took the kids back to the academy, while Mu Dashan chatted with Mr. Mu.

Yu Si Niang tidied up the dishes and cleaned the kitchen.

”Dad, I asked you earlier about why I haven’t seen my mom, and you didn’t answer me!” Mu Dashan began by asking about Old Mrs. Mu.

Mr. Mu shook his head, ”How would I know? Maybe your mom went to some gossiping neighbor’s house and is having lunch there!”

Mr. Mu still didn’t take it seriously.

”But Dad, my mom’s not the type to eat out like that. Could she have gone to cause trouble for Eldest Sister-in-law?”

As soon as Mu Dashan finished speaking, both men felt something might be wrong.

Mr. Mu stood up, ”I’ll go check at Eldest Daughter-in-law’s place to see if she’s there!”

”I’ll go with you!”
