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

Mu Xiaxia’s voice was somewhat loud, as if she was deliberately speaking so that someone could hear.

Mu Shuangshuang glanced around and happened to see a corner of clothing faintly exposed in the kitchen.

Is it Mu Dajiang?

Xiaxia was saying this for Mu Dajiang to hear?

Realizing this, Mu Shuangshuang chimed in with Mu Xiaxia: ”That’s true! Since Xiaxia is willing to continue living this way, I won’t say much.

I’m just afraid that the things Xiaxia hopes for may not turn out to be achievable in the end! Although Uncle has power and status, he does have two daughters himself. Whether Xiaxia can rely on Uncle to find someone from the city is still unknown!

If, by chance, Uncle is unwilling at that time, Xiaxia would have wasted time, not to mention what Aunt has endured in Er Gui Village might have been for nothing.”

The corner of clothing in the kitchen shook violently after Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking.

It seemed to be pondering over what Mu Shuangshuang had said.

Mu Dajiang crouched at the kitchen door, his gaze tightly fixed on Mu Xiaxia.

His jaw was clenched, his hand gripping the door frame firmly, not daring to let go for a moment.

He was afraid that if he loosened his grip, he would really have to return to the countryside.

Mu Dajiang didn’t want to go back to the countryside; he knew life would be a bit better there.

But it’s what he’s been longing for all his life, something he can’t let go, and doesn’t want to.

At this point, Mu Xiaxia began talking about the various negatives of the county town again, but it was useless!

The person still wouldn’t come out.

Finally, Mu Xiaxia also gave up, resigning herself to continue washing clothes.

”It seems Fourth Uncle has set his mind to stay! No matter what anyone says, it’s useless now!” Mu Shuangshuang said.

”My dad actually isn’t someone who covets wealth and status, he just... just doesn’t want me and Xiao Chu to spend the latter half of our lives being mud-legged people like him! Sister Shuangshuang, I’m sorry, I may not be able to keep our promise!”

Mu Xiaxia began to cry, silently shedding tears.

Large tears fell down one by one.

Mu Shuangshuang felt extremely heartbroken watching.

”Xiaxia, do you want to take Xiao Chu with you...” back to the village?

”I can’t, my dad is old and can’t take any more turmoil. If I’m not here and he gets bullied, we wouldn’t even know!” Mu Xiaxia shook her head sharply.

Mu Dajiang won’t leave, and Mu Xiaxia won’t leave either.

By not leaving, she’ll just be oppressed here all her life, never able to rise.

”Xiaxia, wait for me a bit, I’ll go talk to Fourth Uncle!”

Mu Shuangshuang stepped forward.

She walked into the kitchen and immediately saw Mu Dajiang wiping his tears.

A man shedding tears must be facing something significant.

”Fourth Uncle, why don’t you want to leave with Xiaxia?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”Isn’t it good for the family to reunite, for the family to live happily together? Besides, hope isn’t in others; if you return to the village and train Xiao Chu well, one day, you all will return to the county town!”

”Shuangshuang, Fourth Uncle appreciates your kindness, but I and Xiaxia’s mother have long decided, I cannot leave the county town, cannot leave here!

Moreover, Xiaxia’s mother and I have sacrificed half our lives. All the hopes of this half-life rest on your Uncle. Now that your Uncle is successful, it’s time for us to enjoy life!”

Mu Dajiang’s face bore an inexplicable yearning.

He was always certain that just by staying in the county town, he could become a city person.

Not talking about wealth, at the very least, his daughter and son wouldn’t have to be mud-legged people being bullied in their future life.

”Enjoy life? Fourth Uncle, are you really enjoying life?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”Shuangshuang, I know what you mean! I thank you for booking the inn for Xiaxia and me, we’re doing well now, no matter what kind of life, it’s our choice!

We haven’t stolen, robbed, or deceived. Everything we have now comes from a clear conscience! In the future, no matter what happens, we won’t regret it.”

Mu Dajiang was very stubborn.

Stubborn enough to answer the questions Mu Shuangshuang wanted to ask and say the things she wanted to say.

Mu Shuangshuang took a deep breath, ”Fourth Uncle, I’ll just ask you one last question, if... Uncle is bound to fall soon, will you still stay in the county town with Xiaxia then?”

Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t told the Old Mu Family that Mu Dade bought the scholar title.

Mu Dade had an affair with Ruan Xiao Jiao, because either of these would implicate others.

”Shuangshuang, no matter what you say, I still stick to my decision! Xiaxia doesn’t understand now, but when she marries and doesn’t have to work anymore, she will know we did it for her!”

Up to now, Mu Dajiang was certain that the only way to find a city man for Mu Xiaxia was to let her stay in the county town.

”Fourth Uncle, nothing in this world is gained without effort, even in the county town. If Xiaxia marries a city man, she still can’t avoid working.”

Mu Shuangshuang said.

At this moment, she really wanted to dissect Mu Dajiang’s brain and see what it was made of.

Why are there such stubborn people in this world?

Had she not believed Mu Xiaxia could still be saved, she would have left long ago.

”It’s possible! Shuangshuang, don’t blame Fourth Uncle for being blunt. You may have opened a restaurant, a school, and earned some money now, but you’ve always been in the countryside, without a household in the county!

Xiao Han becoming a scholar, a graduate, would take many years later. By that time, you might have married, have done all that a wife does.

In contrast, Xiaxia, her uncle is a big official in the county town now, she can skip the hardships you endured and directly become a person in power!”

Mu Dajiang heaved a sigh of relief after speaking.

Finally, he spoke his mind.

To this day, he believes that money cannot compare to power!

”Fourth Uncle, your thinking is too extreme! Being a person in power isn’t achieved just by marriage! Still, you stick to your viewpoint, I won’t argue with you! I’m leaving now!” Mu Shuangshuang said.

Before entering the kitchen, Mu Shuangshuang believed she could change the fate of the fourth household.

Now, she no longer believes in such things.

Enough, everyone has their aspirations, whatever happens, is destined!

Mu Shuangshuang returned to the courtyard, Mu Xiaxia’s eyes lit up, she looked expectantly at Mu Shuangshuang.

Seemingly wanting to hear from Mu Shuangshuang’s lips that Mu Dajiang was willing to take her and Xiao Chu to the countryside.

”How did it go? Did he agree?” Mu Xiaxia asked.

”No!” Mu Shuangshuang shook her head, ”Xiaxia, I have to leave! Take care! Oh, there’s one thing...”

Mu Shuangshuang suddenly bowed her head, leaned close to Mu Xiaxia’s ear, and whispered something.

She told Mu Xiaxia about Zheng Zhi introducing work, instructing her to find Zheng Zhi.

She also told Mu Xiaxia that the money she gave her, though only more than two taels, must absolutely not be given to anyone, including Mu Dajiang who is her father.
