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

”Go ahead and try! Does Mu Xiangxiang seem afraid of you?” Mu Xiangxiang stood with her hands on her hips, facing Ma Dawen without a trace of fear in her heart.

The men who came with Ma Dawen ran away faster than monkeys upon hearing that the village chief would be called.

It wasn’t long before the village chief of Er Gui Village was brought over.

The village chief, without saying a word, took the property deed from Ma Dawen and looked it over, then looked at the land deed.

He spoke to all the villagers who had gathered to watch, ”These are indeed the Old Mu Family’s property and land deeds, with government seals on them. Everyone can take a look!”

After saying this, he handed the deeds to a villager nearby.

The men, after looking at them, nodded one by one.

”Yes indeed, these deeds are real! Could it be that the old man did sell the deeds?”

”You’re talking nonsense! How could my parents do something that harms me? Clearly, you’ve colluded with these outsiders to seize my family’s house!

I’m telling you, my older brother is a big official in the county town. If you dare bully me, you’ll end up in court, sitting in prison!”

Mu Xiangxiang brought up Mu Dade.

The villagers suddenly felt very conflicted.

If they help, the deeds are real. On what grounds do they fight back?

If they don’t help, this girl is Mu Dade’s sister. If they offend Mu Dade, they might face repercussions later. What to do?

”Sister Xiangxiang, we’re not speaking carelessly, but these deeds can’t be faked! Could it be that the old man sold the house when he left, and you just didn’t know?”

Someone kindly reminded Mu Xiangxiang, only to be scolded by her fiercely.

”You’re speaking nonsense. Would my father treat me like that? Stop pretending to be a good person here. Don’t think I don’t know your schemes to drive me out of this house. I’m telling you, no way!”

The person being scolded was one of the more honest men in the village.

Hearing Mu Xiangxiang’s words, those who initially wanted to speak up on her behalf lost their desire to do so.

The man backed off, not even wanting to watch the spectacle anymore.

”Ha, they’re all in on it together. When they can’t win the argument, they run!” Mu Xiangxiang said.

The man blushed with anger but couldn’t truly quarrel with Mu Xiangxiang due to her influential brother.

”Village chief, you’ve seen the property deed, it’s real! You’ve also seen the land deed, and it’s just as real. By the rules, doesn’t this stubborn girl have to move out?”

Ma Dawen asked.

”Well...” The village chief was unsure.

No matter how you look at it, someone would end up offended here.

”Village chief, our Old Ma isn’t an unknown figure. Who around here doesn’t know the name of Old Ma, Ma Wanqian? If you really can’t decide, just step aside and see how we deal with this troublesome girl.”

With a word from Ma Dawen, the men behind him were eager to teach Mu Xiangxiang a lesson.

The village chief couldn’t allow anyone to be bullied right in front of him, as it would reflect poorly on himself.

”Young man, how about you wait a bit? I’ll go call this girl’s third brother over, he’s a reasonable person and might help you solve the problem!”

Ma Dawen didn’t want to wait, but he remembered that the old man had advised against conflicts as the New Year approached.

Whatever the issue, it should be resolved after the Lantern Festival.

”Alright! This young man here will wait for this girl’s third brother to show up, but he’d better be sensible, or I’ll take matters into my own hands!”

Someone was sent to quickly bring Mu Dashan from the Mu Family’s new house.

Mu Dashan’s family had just moved into a new home yesterday, and the whole family was now living in a spacious house.

With blue bricks and red tiles, this large home of the Third Branch of the Mu Family was the first tile-roofed house in the entire village.

Even before the Old Wang Family.

Thinking back, the Old Wang Family was once the richest in the village, but now their son is unresponsive, needing constant medication every day.

The wealth of the Old Wang Family has long been exhausted, which is indeed lamentable!

The person sent to call Mu Dashan returned swiftly.

Along with him came Yu Si Niang, Taohua, and the family’s three little children.

Taohua had now been accepted by everyone in Er Gui Village.

Everyone knew Taohua was a relative of Yu Si Niang, her husband mining outside, leaving no relatives at home, so she was brought here for care.

Everyone was used to seeing Taohua by Yu Si Niang’s side, so her presence during this village affair didn’t seem inappropriate to anyone.

”Da Shan’s here, Da Shan’s here...” someone standing outside shouted.

Soon after, the crowd made way for Mu Dashan.

Mu Dashan entered the yard, and before he could speak, the village chief addressed him, ”Da Shan, you better take a look at this contract and verify if it is real!”

After speaking, the village chief handed the two contracts to Mu Dashan.

Mu Dashan glanced at them and nodded, ”They’re indeed real! Village chief, why did you call me in such a hurry, what’s happening?”

The man sent to bring Mu Dashan didn’t say much, only mentioning that the village chief had instructed them to because something major occurred.

Mu Dashan hurried over without fully understanding what had transpired.

”The thing is, this young master Ma Dawen claims that their family’s elder bought the Old Mu Family’s house and now young master Ma Dawen is here to take possession of it.

But Sister Xiangxiang insists they’re fakes, calling all the contracts forgeries and refusing to leave!” The village chief recounted everything he knew without leaving anything out.

After listening, Mu Dashan had an idea.

”Debts must be settled, that’s just right and proper! Since the house has been sold, it belongs to the buyer!

Although I don’t know when our parents sold the house, if it’s sold, it can’t be rescinded now, refusing to move out!”

Mu Dashan showed no bias towards any side.

So, naturally, after he spoke, he was attacked by Mu Xiangxiang.

”Shut up! This is the house my parents left me; what does it have to do with you? Don’t think you can order me around just because you’re my third brother. I’m telling you, Mu Xiangxiang doesn’t take things lying down!

No house to give, only a fight to pick, come and take it if you dare! I want to see who dares to bully me today!”

Even on the verge of disaster, Mu Xiangxiang remained arrogant, unaware that Ma Dawen and the others were loafers adept at dealing with disobedient women like her.

Ma Dawen said to the village chief and Mu Dashan, ”You both are good-hearted people, just like I don’t want to make things hard for you. You better leave now; today I’ll show this troublesome girl my strength.”

Mu Dashan and the village chief, afraid that Mu Xiangxiang would suffer, spoke almost simultaneously, ”Xiangxiang, you better leave quickly; mom and dad are waiting for you in the county town, you should go live well in the county. The house, whoever has the property and land deeds, means it’s theirs now!”

”Sister Xiangxiang, wealth is just external to the body; why persist over it? Since your parents wanted to sell the house, they surely had their reasons, just listen and follow.”
