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

Just like that person earlier, if she simply beat him and let him go,

once she left, that person would come back to trouble this family of three again.

It would be better to take the man and travel a few cities.

By the time he returns, whether he hires a cart or walks, this family of three would have already moved elsewhere.

Mu Shuangshuang’s idea was something Zhou Dabao had never considered, although he encountered it several times.

The daughter’s appearance was indeed quite beautiful.

Among those they met, the polite ones only suggested taking Fengfeng as a concubine, while the impolite ones beat them up and tried to kidnap her.

If they hadn’t met one or two kind-hearted people, the daughter would likely have been...

”Young master, I don’t know what to do either, I only know how to play the erhu, and so does my wife!

Our family relies on this to make a living; we have no money, can’t buy land, and can’t settle down.

Although Fengfeng can help, she’s also approaching the age to get married.”

Others say home is where the walls are bare, a sign of poverty.

But Zhou Dabao and his family, clearly, don’t even have a home.

”You can come with me!”

A male voice suddenly interjected. It was the shopkeeper who had been doing calculations earlier, now walking to Mu Shuangshuang’s table.

The young master reached out to Mu Shuangshuang, ”My name is Jiang Mu, the eldest young master of the Jiang Family in Haining City, which is the nearest county here!

This is my inn, and every New Year, I stay here for ten days.

I have many businesses in Haining City, and it’s not a problem to arrange work for this family of three!”

Mu Shuangshuang extended her hand, boldly shook Jiang Mu’s hand, and then immediately let go.

Mu Shuangshuang thought, this man’s generosity doesn’t resemble that of an ordinary person.

Turns out he’s the young master of a wealthy family.

But it’s New Year, and instead of reuniting with family, he’s staying in this rundown inn, that’s interesting!

However, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t sense any danger from Jiang Mu, so she held no animosity or hostility toward him.

”Could I join you for a meal?” Jiang Mu asked.

Zhou Dabao and the others looked at Mu Shuangshuang to gauge her opinion.

Mu Shuangshuang nodded, ”Sure!”

Jiang Mu didn’t speak much, but they had a good drink with Mu Shuangshuang and her group.

After eating and drinking to their fill, Mu Shuangshuang went to rest at the inn, while Zhou Dabao and Qin Xianglian stayed to help clean up.

As for Fengfeng, she followed beside the staff, acting as a little helper.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t know what Jiang Mu’s background was, nor why he accepted Zhou Dabao’s family.

But if he wasn’t a bad person, Zhou Dabao’s family following them was better than wandering outside, right?

Mu Shuangshuang thought so, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Upon waking, it was the morning of the first day of the lunar new year; Mu Shuangshuang had slept an entire afternoon and night.

It seemed she was truly exhausted these days.

On the first day of the new year, one shouldn’t travel, so Mu Shuangshuang decided to rest another day.

That day, she played with Fengfeng all day, which eased her homesickness and longing.

However, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t know that far away in the military camp, Lu Yuanfeng had no one like Fengfeng to accompany him and ease his longing.

Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen won their first battle greatly, barging into the Wei Army camp alone, injuring the Eldest Prince Wei Lin, delivering a defeat to the Wei Army.

They also redeemed the face lost in Xing City’s previous failure and by the Wen Family Army.

However, with Wei Lin’s defeat, the hatred from the Wei Army was provoked, making them fight more desperately.

Lu Yuanfeng, Xing Beichen, and Xue Shu spent every day studying tactics.

These two young men rapidly grew in the shortest time, with astonishing growth speed.

From New Year’s Eve to the first day of the New Year, Lu Yuanfeng didn’t sleep for two consecutive nights, constantly monitoring the Wei Army’s every move.

By the second day of the New Year, Xue Shu worried he couldn’t hold on and personally came to his tent to let him rest.

”Fengzi, you’ve been up for two nights; it’s time for you to rest! I’ve instructed the kitchen to stew hot soup for you, drink it and get some sleep.”

Xue Shu entered from outside the tent, bringing a gust of cold wind.

”Thank you, Commander, I’m fine! These days are the holidays; our Ning Dynasty values the New Year greatly, and the Wei Army knows this too. If they attack taking advantage of this time, we’ll be prepared!”

Assigning people to stand guard during the New Year was Lu Yuanfeng’s suggestion.

It was one of the three strategies in the three envelopes from Shuangshuang.

The more relaxed the time, the more vigilant one should be.

After much thought, Lu Yuanfeng realized that the time when all the people are most relaxed is during the New Year.

Everyone is immersed in the joy of the festival, and perhaps, the Wei Army would launch a sneak attack.

Lu Yuanfeng’s vigilance wasn’t wasted; on New Year’s Eve, several spies sneaked in, attempting to sabotage the Ning Army’s supplies but were killed by Lu Yuanfeng.

”You’re really as stubborn as a mule! Rest assured, I have Beichen on guard duty! Get some good rest and gather your strength; we’re preparing to deliver the final blow to the Wei Dynasty’s people!” Xue Shu said.

Hearing Xue Shu’s words, Lu Yuanfeng thought it over and decided to follow Xue Shu’s advice for a temporary rest.

”Thank you for your concern, Commander!” Lu Yuanfeng said.

”You’re just like Beichen; when you start fighting, you disregard everything. Have you forgotten about Shuangshuang who returned home?”

Xue Shu didn’t know many people in the Northwest.

The soldiers followed his orders, but only because he held the Tiger Talisman of the Wen Family Army; their relationship was more like superior and subordinate.

But Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen were different.

The two were more like friends, and with Mu Shuangshuang having saved his son, Xue Shu wanted to draw closer to Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen.

”I haven’t forgotten!” Lu Yuanfeng shook his head.

”Last year, at this time, we were still celebrating the New Year together. The New Year’s goods at home were bought by us together. I took her up the mountain to play; she took a few younger siblings out to play with firecrackers. Those days were indeed carefree!”

Lu Yuanfeng said.

Xue Shu nodded repeatedly, ”Indeed, the days in Qingshan Town were the most carefree!”

Xue Shu thought of his time studying at the academy.

In his early years, his family’s situation wasn’t as good; later, it became more prosperous, and he was sent to study at the academy.

Studying was fine until he went to the Capital to take the imperial examination, eventually becoming a Capital Official, and step by step reaching his current position.

At the top, it’s cold; the higher you go, the fewer friends you have, and the fewer people with whom to share heartfelt words!

”Fengzi, cherish Shuangshuang; she’s a good girl!” Xue Shu said.

Mu Shuangshuang nodded solemnly, ”I will!”

”Fengzi, I’m only telling you this; I’ve never said it to anyone else! People say one’s birth is important, but I don’t think so!

My parents once plowed fields, dug the earth, and did business. But in the end, as you can see, I became a Capital Official, and the whole family followed me to the Capital.

Our family doesn’t have a prominent family background, only a heart that doesn’t concede! You must remember your original intentions, know what you want, and preserve your most precious things!”
