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

”Of course! There’s still no news of Xiao Chu, whether dead or alive, it’s all that wretched woman’s doing!

If it weren’t for her, our Old Mu Family would still be waiting to celebrate the Lantern Festival, but now, never mind the Lantern Festival, if we get half a day of peace it’s already good enough!

I said long ago, a woman who crawls into a man’s bed is no good, but you wouldn’t listen! If you had listened to me back then and hadn’t married that wretch, we wouldn’t have this mess today!”

Old Mrs. Mu cursed Mrs. Jin continuously, bringing up grievances from eight hundred years ago, looking as if she wouldn’t rest until Mrs. Jin was dead, to appease her anger.

Seeing the two women cursing fervently, Mr. Mu also chimed in, ”This time, the eldest daughter-in-law really messed up badly; she cannot be let off easily!”

”What the old man said is right. If you don’t have any objections, tonight we’ll put that wretch in a sack and drown her!”

Old Mrs. Mu’s hatred for Mrs. Jin wasn’t minor.

During what should have been festive days, just because she casually slapped that wretched woman a few times, she ended up being tied up with hemp rope by her own man for days!

Even for eating, drinking, and ablutions, she could only do it in her small broken room.

So this time, Old Mrs. Mu decided to take personal revenge!

If anyone dared to stop her from tearing Mrs. Jin’s face, she would fight them.

Old Mrs. Mu was clamoring to deal with Mrs. Jin, but the others, including Mu Dazhong among the three, didn’t really speak up.

No wonder, Mu Dade had sought them out early in the morning, asking them to plead a few good words for Mrs. Jin in a while.

Even if they couldn’t speak kindly, they were definitely not to make things worse!

Regarding the benefits, five hundred coins per person, to be paid immediately after the matter was resolved.

Mrs. Lin, Mu Dazhong, and Mu Danian exchanged a glance, feeling it was time for them to step in.

Mu Danian said, ”Dad, Mom, Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law! This matter, indeed my eldest sister-in-law deserves death! There’s no denying it, whoever argues is a bastard!

But after all, we’re not in Er Gui Village now! In Er Gui Village, whatever happens, we handle it internally, and for a wife like the eldest sister-in-law who has made a mistake, the other family members nod, drown her, and the matter is resolved.

But here, after all, is the county, under the County Magistrate’s nose! Are you really going to drown or beat someone to death right under his eyes?

What if it affects my elder brother’s career? Even if it doesn’t, it’s not good for Dan and Ying! Xiaxia is the granddaughter of our Old Mu Family, but Dan and Ying have done nothing wrong!

I heard that the two of them are about to get married soon! Both are marrying into well-known families in the county! If at this time, the eldest sister-in-law is killed, they won’t be able to get married!”

Mu Danian’s words were quite pleasing.

But for the Fourth Family, it was like rubbing salt into the wound.

”Fifth, question your conscience, how has Fourth Brother treated you all these years?” Mu Dajiang’s eyes were bloodshot, glaring at Mu Danian, as if he wanted to eat him.

”Fourth Brother, you’ve indeed treated me well, but what’s that got to do with the topic we’re discussing today?” Mu Danian curled his lips, looking puzzled.

”What do you mean, what’s it got to do with it! My son, my daughter, have both been harmed by that wicked woman! Not only are you not standing up for justice, but you intend to help that wicked woman escape; where exactly do you place me, your Fourth Brother, in your heart?” Mu Dajiang questioned him.

Mu Danian deliberately put on a deeply aggrieved look and said to Mu Dajiang, ”Fourth Brother, if you say it like that, I have no words!

I’m doing it for your own good! If Big Brother loses his job, what good does it do you?

What’s good for Xiaxia? Now that something like that has happened to Xiaxia, only Big Brother can find her a good match; otherwise, she can only end up with some lame and blind old widower!”

”Shut up!” Mu Dajiang shouted, ”Say one more word, and I’ll cripple you!”

Mu Danian was startled, ”Go on, don’t think that because you’re my Fourth Brother, I’m afraid of you!”

Mu Dajiang was always honest, and such rough words had never come from his mouth before.

This time, he was genuinely furious!

Mu Dajiang clenched his fists, took a step forward, and punched Mu Danian in the face.

Before the punch landed, Mu Danian really thought his Fourth Brother was joking.

So he wasn’t on guard; when the punch landed, Mu Danian realized Fourth Brother was serious about this!

He couldn’t hold back either.

He raised his leg and kicked Mu Dajiang right in the stomach.

Mu Dajiang fell to the ground.

Mrs. Liu let out a shrill scream, ”You... you dare bully Daddy Xiaxia, I will fight you!”

”Xiaxia’s mother, stay out of this, I’ll handle it myself!” Mu Dajiang stopped Mrs. Liu.

Quickly, he got up from the ground, lowered his head slightly, and charged at Mu Danian.

”With a thud,” Mu Danian wasn’t prepared and got knocked down to the ground by Mu Dajiang.

Mu Dajiang took the opportunity to sit on Mu Danian’s chest and began punching his face, left hook, right hook.

While beating, he cursed, ”You beast, calling you dirty words!”

”For saying foul things about Xiaxia! For pleading for that bad woman! Where have we the Fourth Family wronged you, for you to bully us like this?”

”Xiao Chu disappeared, do you know how much Xiaxia’s mother blames herself? Do you know how much effort Xiaxia has put in?”

”We the Fourth Family almost got shattered! All this was done by that eldest sister-in-law you protect! Why do you still want to help her, why?”

Mu Dajiang turned all his pent-up anger into the force in his fists.

”Bang bang bang!” He smashed Mu Danian’s face relentlessly.

A good-looking face of Mu Danian was beaten into a swollen mess.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lin and Mu Dazhong inhaled sharply.

Mu Danian was beaten like this just for saying such a lukewarm ”fair word.”

If they said to let Mrs. Jin go, wouldn’t they be beaten to death?

So the second branch couple instantly decided in their hearts, even if beaten to death, not to say a kind word for the eldest sister-in-law Mrs. Jin.

”Fourth, stop beating, if you keep going, your Fifth Brother will be beaten to death by you!” Mr. Mu stopped Mu Dajiang, whose fists were still swinging.

But Mu Dajiang was already seeing red, so how could he heed Mr. Mu’s words?

His fists swung ever harder.

The whole main hall echoed only with Mu Danian’s cries of pain.

”Elder, hurry up and come up with a solution for the Fourth! Your wife owes the Fourth Family, and this time, no matter what, I won’t relent!”

Mr. Mu said.

Mu Dade felt that at this stage, it was his turn to speak.

He opened his mouth and said to everyone, ”Stop quarreling! I’ve decided to divorce Jinyin’er. From today, she’s no longer my wife!”
