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

Just regained her freedom, Old Mrs. Mu started cursing.

”You damn old fool, how dare you kidnap me, you know who my son is? My son is the county magistrate, if he comes, he won’t let you off!”

”Ugly thing, shameless thing, you’ll die a horrible death!”

To be fair, when Old Mrs. Mu curses, she never repeats herself!

The more Zhu San looked, the more he thought this woman would make a good wife for his foolish son.

She’s got a strong fighting spirit! Compared to his son, she’s the complete opposite, she’ll take care of his son well, and he won’t be called a fool!

”Go on, curse, curse all you want. The more you curse, the more you’ll suffer later. When my son returns, I’ll have him deal with you, you old hag!” Zhu San yelled.

Old Mrs. Mu glared at him fiercely, spitting at Zhu San non-stop.

”People like you always meet their end badly! You’ll have your tongue cut out, you’ll be thrown into a cauldron of oil...”

Initially, Zhu San didn’t care, but when Old Mrs. Mu cursed him about his next generation being cut off, Zhu San got angry.

He stepped forward and slapped Old Mrs. Mu twice.

”Pop pop” twice, swelling Old Mrs. Mu’s face.

Old Mrs. Mu moaned twice, but her cursing didn’t stop!

Just then, noises came from outside the yard.

Zhu San gritted his teeth and knocked Old Mrs. Mu unconscious with a club.

He opened the door and saw his ”wife,” a woman he had tricked and beaten into submission in the same way.

The woman’s name was Qin Xianglan. Two years ago, she was going to the county to find her man and was tempted by cheap offers to get into Zhu San’s car.

Later, she was trapped at Zhu San’s house and was beaten for three whole months.

Qin Xianglan has resigned herself to fate, playing the role of mother to Zhu San’s son.

”Dog’s mom, go check if that old hag is broken from my beating, if not, tonight she’ll be in the bridal chamber with Dog!”

Qin Xianglan was so shocked by Zhu San’s words her jaw almost dropped.

”She’s so old, how can she match up with our Dog? Better chase her away, so she doesn’t waste our food!”

Qin Xianglan pretended to say casually.

”Shut up! If she doesn’t become Dog’s wife, will you? Do you not know what kind of person Dog is?”

Even now, Zhu San would occasionally lose his temper at Qin Xianglan, and if he was in a bad mood, he’d hit her, so Qin Xianglan was very afraid and never dared to contradict Zhu San.

”I... I was just joking, she’s suitable, she’s the most suitable!” Qin Xianglan laughed awkwardly.

Only then did Zhu San’s expression ease.

”Old whore, watch what you say next time! Say the wrong thing again, and don’t blame me for being merciless!”

As Zhu San spoke, he kicked over a sieve in the yard, spilling soybeans all over the ground.

Qin Xianglan felt extremely pained seeing it, but she didn’t dare to speak up, afraid speaking would earn her a beating.

”Alright, alright...” Qin Xianglan nodded repeatedly.

”What are you standing there for? Don’t you know to go make dinner?” Zhu San snarled angrily.

Only then did Qin Xianglan rush to the kitchen, and once she was gone, Zhu San took a step forward and said to his foolish son: ”Dog, Dad found you a wife, come in, Dad’ll teach you about the bridal chamber!”

”Wife... kiss kiss!”

”Wife... kiss kiss!”

Dog repeated words taught to him by someone, drool dripping down half his face each time he uttered them.

His clothes were perpetually wet from his drool.

”Alright, Daddy will take you to kiss her!”

Grabbing his son’s clothes, Zhu San quickly entered the room.

Old Mrs. Mu still lay on the bed, not yet awake.

”Kiss her!” Zhu San pointed at Old Mrs. Mu.

Unfortunately, Dog only knew how to talk, not act. No matter how Zhu San taught him, he just wouldn’t kiss people, just stared at Old Mrs. Mu drooling.

Zhu San was extremely frustrated, but this was his son, no matter how angry he was, he couldn’t vent his anger on him.

So he could only smack the unconscious Old Mrs. Mu.

Two slaps, and Old Mrs. Mu woke up, seeing Zhu San still poised to hit her.

She resumed cursing, ”How dare you hit me? You hunchbacked turtle’s son, you’ll never have a decent descendant!”

”Shut up!”

Over his life, Zhu San had tricked countless people.

No matter who it was, a couple of slaps would make them obedient.

Except for Old Mrs. Mu; no matter how he hit, she was still as foul-mouthed as ever.

The harsher the beating, the more vicious the cursing.

Left with no choice, Zhu San resorted to tearing Old Mrs. Mu’s clothes to force her into silence.

Old Mrs. Mu let out animalistic roars, biting at Zhu San as he approached.

Several times, she almost bit Zhu San’s face.

Zhu San was infuriated, about to use a stick to whip her, when Qin Xianglan entered from outside, saying, ”Dinner’s ready, you and your son can go eat, leave this to me! I’ll persuade her!”

Having been around for two years without signs of escape, Zhu San was confident she wouldn’t run.

So he took his son to eat without worry.

As soon as he left, Qin Xianglan neared Old Mrs. Mu.

But before she could get close, she was spat with a mouthful of phlegm.

”Blech, you little tramp, you think I’m a fool who’s easily tricked? With your clumsy acting, you think you can fool me? I won’t fall for your trick!”

Despite feeling intense pain throughout her body, Old Mrs. Mu was tough in nature, resistant to both coercion and persuasion, very stubborn!

”Auntie, don’t be like this, I too was tricked here, just like you!”

Qin Xianglan was just about twenty, calling Old Mrs. Mu ”auntie” was normal.

The abnormal part was Zhu San, forcing a woman in her forties or fifties to marry his thirty-something foolish son.

And himself, over fifty, marrying a woman around twenty like Qin Xianglan!

”Then why aren’t you tied up like me?”

Smart, Old Mrs. Mu didn’t easily believe Qin Xianglan!

”I’ve been caught for two years, that beast isn’t worried I’d run anymore!”

The beast in Qin Xianglan’s words referred to Zhu San, hearing Qin Xianglan curse him increased Old Mrs. Mu’s trust slightly.

”If you free me, my son will thank you!” Old Mrs. Mu said. ”My son is the county magistrate!”

”Auntie, no use in what your son is, the point is, this village is very closed and very xenophobic! Everyone knows that beast kidnapped decent women, but no one does anything!

Because in the village, there are similar cases, all women were taken by them!”

Over two years, Qin Xianglan conversed with many village women.

Learning most were trafficked or deceived!

They all suffered greatly; initially, all met harsh treatment.

Over time, younger women bore children, gradually accepting the situation!

Qin Xianglan remains the only one pondering escape.

Zhu San, being old, likely can’t father children, compounded by caring for a foolish son, Qin Xianglan perpetually thinks of fleeing!
