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

”Hmph, I’m asking you, what kind of clothes should the kid wear for his wedding?” Zhu San said grumpily.

Just then, a young woman walked out from the back of the fabric shop.

”For wedding clothes, it’s best to choose festive colors! A girl would wear a phoenix crown and a wedding dress, while a man just needs the groom’s attire!”

The woman was none other than Mu Shuangshuang’s friend, Ah Ru.

Ah Ru had already opened a new fabric shop near Shuangshuang Restaurant.

This fabric shop was the one she had sold earlier.

Now with the help of Mu Shuangshuang, her new fabric store had earned some money, and she bought back the previous one.

Since it had only opened a few days ago, she had been busy there all the time.

”Haha, girl, this fabric shop is yours, huh?”

Ah Ru was pretty and young, which immediately made Zhu San harbor evil thoughts.

He really wanted to trick her into his village. If he could actually deceive her into coming over, he’d just kick out Qin Xianglan.

”Yes! You can tell me whatever clothes and fabric you need!”

From Zhu San’s eyes, Qin Xianglan saw greed and desire.

She rolled her eyes and suddenly said to Zhu San, ”Dog’s father, why don’t you try on a set of clothes?”

As she spoke, she gave Zhu San a look and whispered, ”Dog’s father, this woman has money. If we trick her, we’ll never worry again in our lives!”

Upon hearing this, Zhu San nodded repeatedly.

”Girl, I want to try on the most expensive clothes in your store!”

Ah Ru didn’t think much and took a piece she thought suitable for Zhu San, letting him go to the backyard to change clothes.

While Zhu San was inside, Qin Xianglan quickly lowered her voice and asked, ”Girl, do you know Chengfeng Restaurant? The old beast inside isn’t a good person; there’s a relative of mine there, and I want to seek refuge!”

”I know, I know the lady boss there!” Ah Ru replied.

”Really? That’s great, take me there; if we delay, I’ll be finished when that beast comes out!”

Qin Xianglan tugged at Ah Ru’s clothes, urging her to leave quickly.

Without thinking much, Ah Ru grabbed Qin Xianglan and started to run.

The store was left unattended.

Zhu San, after changing into his clothes, found that both Qin Xianglan and Ah Ru were gone.

He rushed out, cursing loudly, ”Qin Xianglan, you whore, come out!”

”How dare you trick me! If I catch you, I’ll kill you!”

He cursed for the time it took to drink a cup of tea but didn’t see anyone, so Zhu San noticed that no one was in the fabric shop.

He stormed in, grabbed silver and some fabric and clothes, and took off in his bull cart.

Qin Xianglan and Ah Ru rushed to Mu Shuangshuang’s restaurant, not even resting; Ah Ru immediately sent a staff member to call for Mu Shuangshuang.

When they arrived, it was exactly the day Mu Shuangshuang was preparing to tell stories.

Mu Shuangshuang was in a private room getting ready for the afternoon’s storytelling when a staff member rushed in.

He said there was a relative of Mu Shuangshuang there to seek refuge.

At first, Mu Shuangshuang thought it was Mu Zhenzhen.

When she went down and saw Qin Xianglan and Ah Ru, she couldn’t help but ask, ”Ah Ru, who is this...?”

Ah Ru hadn’t had time to answer when Qin Xianglan rushed over, grabbing Mu Shuangshuang’s hand.

”Girl, you’re Shuangshuang, right? Your grandma’s been captured at Wang Family Village; you must go save her!”

Mu Shuangshuang held Qin Xianglan’s hand back and could feel her trembling.

”Auntie, don’t worry, tell me slowly what’s going on!” Mu Shuangshuang said.

”Take me inside; I’m scared, I don’t dare stay on the street for too long!”

Mu Shuangshuang held onto Qin Xianglan as they went upstairs, with Ah Ru following along and a man standing guard outside.

Only then did Qin Xianglan feel at ease.

She shared her, Old Mrs. Mu’s, and the village’s situations with Mu Shuangshuang.

Listening, Mu Shuangshuang fell into contemplation.

She roughly analyzed the situation, realizing Old Mrs. Mu had been kidnapped.

And the kidnapper was Zhu San!

He had just come to town to buy wedding items, and they were all for Old Mrs. Mu and his foolish son!

”Oh no, we should’ve gone to the fabric shop to find people first!” Mu Shuangshuang said.

Immediately, she instructed the staff at the door to go to Ah Ru’s fabric shop to find someone.

The young staff member rushed out, and upon hearing the news, Mr. Mu and Mu Dashan came upstairs.

Everyone’s eyes were on Qin Xianglan.

Qin Xianglan had no choice but to recount Old Mrs. Mu’s situation again to Mr. Mu.

”Save her, we have to save her quickly! If we’re late, it’ll be too late!”

Knowing that his wife was about to be married off to someone else, Mr. Mu couldn’t hold back!

”Grandfather, calm down, this matter isn’t that simple!” Mu Shuangshuang said.

”What’s not simple? Didn’t Miss Xiao Lan say your grandma is getting married to a fool?” Mr. Mu was extremely agitated.

”I know! But you’ve also heard Qin Xianglan say that most of the women in that village were bought like that!”

Mu Shuangshuang had encountered such cases in her previous life.

It was also about trafficking women, and when the rescue happened, those villagers even hit the police!

And more importantly, they weren’t afraid of guns.

In ancient times, the weapons weren’t as intimidating; if you went with a shabby knife, they’d chop you with an axe!

”So what? My wife has a son and grandchildren; how can she be someone else’s wife?” Mr. Mu asked.

”But what if the whole village stops us?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”What if they won’t let my grandma go? How many people do we need to bring?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”Are we just going to leave your grandma to be someone else’s wife?” Mr. Mu was going crazy, stomping his feet repeatedly.

”We have to contact the government; we must!” Mu Shuangshuang said.

”No, by the time we get the government involved, it’ll be too late! What if something happens to your grandma?” Mr. Mu disagreed.

”Here’s the plan: I’ll send someone to town to find government officials. Tonight, I’ll go with the Huang Brothers to check out the village’s situation!”

Mu Shuangshuang said.

”No, Shuangshuang, you can’t go; it’s too dangerous!” Mu Dashan stood up to stop Mu Shuangshuang from going.

”Dad, I’ll be fine, don’t worry! I won’t show myself; I’ll just take a look at the village terrain!”

”Shuangshuang, you better not go; that place sounds dangerous! Besides, Fengzi isn’t around, and if something happens to you, what are we going to do?” Ah Ru also tried to stop Mu Shuangshuang from going.

”This time, I’m not just doing it for my grandma but for many women who were tricked and sold!” Mu Shuangshuang said.

Even in her current state, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t forget her responsibility and mission!

This time, she truly wanted to help those women personally!

”But...” Ah Ru wanted to say something but was interrupted by Mr. Mu.

”If the Shuang girl wants to go, let her go, otherwise if something happens to her grandma, she’ll lose face, and our Old Mu Family will lose face too!”
