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

Landlord Yang thoughtfully considered what Mrs. Jin had said.

After a long while, he laughed.

His eyes were filled with calculation, but his gaze remained lewd!

”Here are twenty taels of silver, consider it an advance for the girl.

You should buy her several decent outfits, and also take good care of her for me.

I must have that girl’s first time! As for silver, I’ll have as much as I want, as much as Yang Cheng wants!”

After speaking, Landlord Yang directly threw a pouch of silver onto the table.

After tossing it, he stood up and walked toward the door.

Dealing with smart people is truly beneficial.

Mrs. Jin felt.

She had merely said that one sentence, and Landlord Yang already knew he wouldn’t get any meat today, nor would he wait to eat meat.

But the girl’s virginity isn’t something that can be determined by how much money there is.

It all depends on Mrs. Jin’s mood; if she’s in a good mood, she’ll give it to the wealthy.

If she’s not in a good mood, sorry, no amount of money will do!

Mrs. Jin picked up the twenty taels of silver from the table and put it in her pocket, muttering to herself, ”At least I haven’t lost out, the money I’ve spent on that brat over this period is back, with some leftover!”

While calculating in her mind who she should introduce Mu Xiaxia to next, if everyone is as generous as Landlord Yang, Mrs. Jin thought she might actually save enough to buy a big house in the county.

Whether she lets the Old Mu Family mud-legged fellows live there is up to her!

Mu Xiaxia had been out for a while, and Mrs. Jin hadn’t thought of looking for her.

Instead, Mu Xiaxia was invited by the shopkeeper to the back kitchen to tour the cooking area.

Jiu Si Xuan’s back kitchen is a heavily guarded place; normally, people don’t have the chance to enter.

But Mu Xiaxia was invited, so she cherished this opportunity.

Any uncertainties she had, she humbly asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper politely responded, and as they chatted, the conversation eventually shifted to the matter in the private room today.

”Little girl, as someone who has been where you’ve been, let me give you a word of advice: not everything should be tried! Whatever you do, think carefully about the consequences, understand?”

Mu Xiaxia didn’t understand why the shopkeeper suddenly said this, but she nodded earnestly.

”Understood, thank you, uncle!”

”Little girl, Jiu Si Xuan can still protect you, but if you’re elsewhere, truly there’ll be no one to protect you!”

The shopkeeper tirelessly reminded her again and again.

Many things weren’t really his concern.

But just like his master said, this girl is after all the younger sister of Shuangshuang’s little girl, out of respect for her, he had to help whenever he could!

”Mm! Uncle shopkeeper, is there something happening that you’re uncomfortable telling me?”

Mu Xiaxia hesitated for a moment before asking.

Anyone with a bit of sense, upon receiving such hints, would know that something was about to happen.

The shopkeeper really wanted to be direct, but feared the master’s words would turn prophetic, and this little girl didn’t know what she was doing.

Yet not saying anything might let the matter slip away!

Oh well, let’s help once more!

”Little girl, the person you saw inside is Landlord Yang, quite influential in the county, but he’s known to be lecherous, you need to be careful!”

Mu Xiaxia’s face turned pale upon hearing this!

Clearly, she was frightened.

”I... Uncle shopkeeper, I have something to attend to, I need to go!”

Mu Xiaxia’s face was full of thoughts.

She wanted to find her aunt and ask what was really going on.

”Okay, go on, if you want to come to the kitchen next time, let me know and I’ll bring you!”

The shopkeeper replied.

Mu Xiaxia nodded and hurriedly ran to the second floor’s private room.

She had countless words she originally wanted to ask Mrs. Jin, but as she was about to, Mrs. Jin spoke first.

”Xiaxia, I just refused that Landlord Yang! I found out that Landlord Yang’s son isn’t interested in getting married so early, the reason he wanted to see you wasn’t for his son, but for himself, he wanted you to be his twentieth concubine!”

Mrs. Jin preemptively blocked all of Mu Xiaxia’s questions.

The suspicion on Mu Xiaxia’s face instantly vanished without a trace.

She wondered if she had misunderstood her aunt?

Was her aunt genuinely thinking about her well-being?

”Xiaxia, don’t be upset, this was my fault, from now on I’ll definitely make sure. Can you forgive me?”

Mrs. Jin approached, holding Mu Xiaxia’s hand, and asked softly for forgiveness.

”Aunt, I...”

”Xiaxia, I know I was wrong, to punish me, hit me, hit me hard!”

Mrs. Jin lifted Mu Xiaxia’s hand, started slapping herself, her acting so superb that no one could match Mrs. Jin.

Thus, any lingering doubts Mu Xiaxia had were completely dispelled by Mrs. Jin.

”Aunt, I’m not upset, I should thank you for truly caring about me. Thank you, aunt...”

Mu Xiaxia said to Mrs. Jin.

Only then did Mrs. Jin smile through her tears, ”Silly girl, why thank me! Rest assured, since I promised to find you a good husband, I’ll do it. This man won’t work, we’ll find another, until you approve, okay?”

”Mm!” Mu Xiaxia nodded.

”Good child!”

Mrs. Jin hugged Mu Xiaxia, gently patting her back.

Knowing she had successfully deceived Mu Xiaxia once again, Mrs. Jin’s face was filled with smiles in a direction Mu Xiaxia couldn’t see.

This foolish girl is as dumb as a pig, such naiveté truly unheard of and unseen!

Hopefully, in the future, this girl continues calling her aunt with such affection, Mrs. Jin thought!

Leaving Jiu Si Xuan, Mrs. Jin returned to the Old Mu Family in the county.

Mu Xiaxia claimed she was working, but in reality, she was looking for a place to live.

In the end, she really found a place to live.

Kind of like a courtyard, a big yard where many people lived, both men and women.

But the rent was cheap, only two copper coins a day.

At the end of the month, it was sixty copper coins, something Mu Xiaxia could now afford.

Without much hesitation, Mu Xiaxia rented the room and took two keys.

One for her, one for her dad!

When the landlady opened the room, Mu Xiaxia could distinctly smell a heavy musty smell, it seemed the room hadn’t been lived in for a long time.

The landlady pointed to the room, ”There’s one room and a living room, no one has lived here for a long time, bedding and chairs are all missing, you’ll need to get those yourself.

The kitchen is communal, if someone else is cooking, you can’t cook, but you can buy your own stove!

Rent is cheap for you, don’t make any other demands and don’t come to me with problems. If you don’t like it, move out, but even staying a day, you’ll have to pay for a month’s rent, understand?”

The landlady’s attitude was very arrogant, and her gaze towards Mu Xiaxia was one of disdain.
