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

”You’re talking nonsense! I’ve been lying down for just over a month, not a year! Even if it’s being used up, it wouldn’t be this fast. Obviously, she took it to subsidize her lover!”

Mu Xiangxiang was spitting out the word ”lover” smoothly!

If you didn’t know better, looking at her determined appearance, you’d almost believe Mrs. Liu did something disgraceful!

Yu Si Niang saw the situation develop like this and knew that Mrs. Liu had to explain today.

Otherwise, this matter would really be hard to turn over.

She pulled Mrs. Liu aside and asked her, ”Jinhua, honestly tell me, where did you actually put those things?”

Mrs. Liu initially wanted to evade Yu Si Niang like before but then heard her say, ”Jinhua, this matter is not just your concern!

It’s related to the entire fourth branch, and the Old Mu Family! If they think you did those things, even if you didn’t, your reputation will be damaged, and people will laugh at Old Si behind his back!

And Xiaxia and Xiao Chu, both kids are so young, if your reputation gets destroyed, they’ll be implicated too!”

This was the first time Mrs. Liu began to feel scared.

She trembled slightly, and after so long, said her first words.

”The things... I took them all to exchange for money!” Mrs. Liu said.

”Ah... Are you short on money? Or did something happen?” Yu Si Niang got anxious and started checking Mrs. Liu, afraid something happened to her.

Seeing Yu Si Niang concerned for her, it made Mrs. Liu’s heart feel warm.

However, the gap between them was getting bigger.

Mrs. Liu felt more inferior in front of Yu Si Niang.

”I... I’m fine!” Mrs. Liu said.

”Then why... why did you do that?” Yu Si Niang asked.

”Si Niang, I won’t hide it from you, I want to save money to go to the county, to find Daddy Xiaxia, Xiaxia, and Xiao Chu!”

Mrs. Liu has been in Er Gui Village alone for almost three months.

For these three months, she hasn’t seen a man, hasn’t seen her daughter, or her son Xiao Chu.

Every time she saw other people’s kids calling for mom behind the other women, she felt uncomfortable!

Her heart felt uneasy!

A woman, without her own sky, what can she do?

All she could do was save money and go find them!

Otherwise, she’d really be lonely to death!

Other hearing Mrs. Liu’s words, Yu Si Niang sighed. Mrs. Liu was a pitiful person.

When everyone went to the county, she was the only one left to take care of Xiangxiang.

Originally, they thought Xiangxiang would just be lying there, it’d be tiring but wouldn’t cause trouble, but who knew...

Xiangxiang not only got better but also did everything possible to trouble Mrs. Liu!

With no man by her side and being treated like an ox, it’s no wonder she wanted to escape!

Actually, what Mrs. Liu did seemed like something the Old Mu Family owed her, but unfortunately, she did it and Mu Xiangxiang found out.

Naturally, a series of troubles followed!

”Let me help solve this issue for you! Later, you just follow along and echo a few words, don’t keep silent, if you don’t speak, people will think you’re easy to bully!

When Shuangshuang was at home, she often said to me, even if you have seventy percent fear and thirty percent timidity in your heart, you must show a hundred percent courage, only then will people not bully you!”

Yu Si Niang said.

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement with Yu Si Niang’s suggestion.

”Everyone, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!” Yu Si Niang pulled Mrs. Liu out to explain to the crowd.

Everyone’s eyes immediately fell on Yu Si Niang.

”As for the rice, it was just like I said, a few days ago, Old Si’s wife thought the rice had absorbed some humidity and needed to be dried, but she forgot to bring it in at night and it got a lot of dew.

She didn’t think much of it, and the next morning, she put it in the rice urn. Who knew, after a few days, the rice turned yellow, and she couldn’t help but pull it out to dry.

As for the eggs, Xiangxiang always said she wouldn’t eat any, so Old Si’s wife was afraid they’d spoil and exchanged them for money. If Xiangxiang wants any, they can always buy them!

As for the oil, we from the third branch borrowed some the other day, and I was so busy I forgot, I just remembered now!”

Yu Si Niang’s attitude was very sincere.

When talking to the village folks, she was polite with every word.

The villagers, upon seeing her, couldn’t get angry!

”Since this is the situation, then there’s no wild man involved! Let’s not watch this spectacle!” said one of the men.

Others followed suit.

”Yeah, since the truth is like this, what are we watching for? Let’s head home, let’s head home!”

Ma Houhou saw the situation turning against her and was naturally unhappy.

”Why do you believe what she says? Mu Xiangxiang hasn’t spoken yet!”

Ma Houhou shouted at the villagers.

But no one was willing to stay for her.

Even Mu Xiangxiang didn’t say a word, no, earlier Mu Dashan asked Mu Xiangxiang to shut up, and he asked Si Niang to make a meal for Mu Xiangxiang!

For that bit of food, Mu Xiangxiang didn’t say anything further.

At least she didn’t let Mrs. Liu face further humiliation!

The villagers slowly dispersed, and once they were gone, Mu Xiangxiang immediately urged.

”Third brother, you said earlier you’d make me something delicious, hurry up, I’m starving!”

Mu Xiangxiang said.

”Wait a bit, why are you in such a rush? This matter hasn’t been resolved!” Mu Dashan replied.

”What do you mean resolved or not resolved? I’m hungry!” Mu Xiangxiang complained impatiently!

”You need to promise me, that this matter, you won’t speak of it to outsiders in the future!” Mu Dashan said.

”What matter?”

Mu Xiangxiang was inherently a simple person, she had forgotten about what she said earlier!

Mu Dashan had to remind her, ”The matter of damaging the family’s reputation, you speak one word of pleasure, but we have to spend a lot of effort to explain. If not explained well, this could be a lifelong issue!”

Mu Dashan explained, but Mu Xiangxiang didn’t understand.

Her own reputation was already ruined; she didn’t understand the importance of it.

”Oh, third brother, you’re nagging me to death, I’m hungry!” Mu Xiangxiang started to complain again.

Mu Dashan finally relented: ”Si Niang, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you!”

”No trouble, no trouble! Xiaxia’s mother, you come along too, I’ll make something delicious for you both!” Yu Si Niang said.

”I...” Mrs. Liu never expected to be invited, ”I’ve eaten...”

”Even if you’ve eaten, you can still eat more, we in the village do a lot of work every day and use up energy fast! Come on!”

Yu Si Niang led Mrs. Liu to her house.

Mu Xiangxiang followed behind.

At this moment, the atmosphere seemed harmonious, with no sign of the recent argument!

Yu Si Niang reached the kitchen and took out the meat Mu Dashan bought in the morning.

”Since it’s breakfast, we’ll keep it simple, I’ll cut up some more meat for you, and make a dough lump soup!”

With that, Yu Si Niang began looking for a basin, grabbing flour, and preparing the dough.

Mrs. Liu couldn’t sit still and came out to help too, Mu Xiangxiang sat on the door threshold of the kitchen, her eyes eagerly watching the third branch’s earthen stove...
