From Folly to Fortune:I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!
Chapter 663 - 659: Dare Not Bite (Third Update)
"Well, we haven’t even gathered yet, and you’ve already ordered the dishes."
"Yu Si Niang, Yu Si Niang, I, the old lady, never noticed before that you had such a skill to freeload, even I am ashamed."
Old Mrs. Mu didn’t clear up the facts and directly accused Yu Si Niang.
Yu Si Niang explained, "Mother, these are the dishes ordered by Shuangshuang, we..."
"I knew it was that sneaky girl. She really knows how to think, orders food in the name of our Mu Family for herself, that sneaky girl is heartless, she’ll meet her end sooner or later."
Old Mrs. Mu’s scolding was loud and forceful.
Mu Shuangshuang was still in the kitchen when she heard the scolding.
She put down her work, apologized to the chef at First-class Residence, and went out.
Zhao Yun was arguing fiercely with Yu Si Niang and Old Mrs. Mu, and no matter how the two of them explained, Old Mrs. Mu insisted that Yu Si Niang was freeloading her meal.
She even told Yu Si Niang to get out.
"Mother, I see Yu Si Niang has no boundaries, doing such disgraceful things." Mrs. Lin poured dirty water while staring at the roast duck in front of Yu Si Niang, drooling.
"Second Sister-in-law, you started this, this roast duck was clearly bought by Shuangshuang for me, Xiao Yun, and a few other kids," Yu Si Niang finally seized the opportunity to finish explaining.
"Stop it, don’t think we don’t know. You heard from Old Fourth’s family that our Mu Family was coming to First-class Residence, you thought you’d get a good meal, so you brazenly came over.
Otherwise, why did you rush ahead at the village entrance? It’s just to get here before us, order a good meal, and charge it to our Mu Family?"
Mrs. Lin spoke lies without even drafting them, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
"You’re not qualified to eat this roast duck!" Mrs. Lin stepped forward and swiftly snatched the roast duck.
Zhao Yun and Yu Si Niang tried to stop it but were too late.
Mrs. Lin’s dirty hands had already touched the roast duck on the table.
"You’re simply too much, how has Si Niang and Shuangshuang ever wronged you? To bully people like this?" Zhao Yun questioned loudly with red eyes.
"Zhao Yun, don’t think because you’re an outsider, I won’t talk to you. I’m afraid this thing today was instigated by you behind Third Daughter-in-law?" Old Mrs. Mu said coldly, her triangular eyes emitting a venomous gaze.
"Aunt Mu, you’re simply going too far..." Zhao Yun added.
"Grandma, what dirty water are you splashing on our third branch again? The roast duck my mother ordered was in Shuangshuang’s personal name, and the bill has already been paid. Whatever you and the family decide to order is your freedom."
Mu Shuangshuang emerged from the kitchen, still wearing an apron, visibly indicating what she had been doing.
She caught sight of the roast duck in Mrs. Lin’s hand and was instantly furious.
Mu Shuangshuang stepped forward and snatched the roast duck back from Mrs. Lin, angrily saying, "Second Aunt, what are you doing? Don’t tell me Shuangshuang’s roast duck grew legs and flew into your hands."
"You... you..." Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth angrily, having suffered losses so many times she feared Mu Shuangshuang.
She could only ask Old Mrs. Mu for help: "Mother, this sneaky girl snatched my roast duck."
"Second Aunt, are you blind? This is clearly from my mother’s table."
Mu Shuangshuang still maintained politeness, as she didn’t want to make a scene here.
First-class Residence is Xue Yi’s domain, Mu Shuangshuang had been delivering things here for a while, and was generally familiar with the people from First-class Residence.
Unlike Jiu Si Xuan, Mu Shuangshuang mainly gave things to the Shopkeeper here.
Because the Shopkeeper wasn’t around, Mu Shuangshuang had to wait for someone else dispatched by Xue Yi to come over and inspect the goods, which caused a delay.
Plus Xue Yi mentioned calling Xue Zheng for lunch and asked her to prepare a meal, offering her three hundred coins.
Mu Shuangshuang felt this was an opportunity to earn money, and three hundred coins was a sizable amount.
She accepted without hesitation.
Before cooking, worrying about her mother’s and Zhao Yun’s hunger, she ordered some things first.
That’s basically how things went down, but Mu Shuangshuang didn’t need to explain to anyone.
"You’re the one who’s talking nonsense, your mother used our Mu Family’s money to order things, so that’s naturally ours." Mrs. Lin said, hands on her hips to Mu Shuangshuang.
"Exactly, you sneaky girl, you’re so bold. I said your mother wouldn’t have the guts to deceive our Mu Family, it’s you, you started it,
I know well what kind of conditions you third branch have, I’m the old lady here!" Old Mrs. Mu was relentless, insisting that Yu Si Niang showed up to freeload.
Mu Shuangshuang’s temper flared up.
She directly called over the steward, here besides the Shopkeeper, and asked directly in front of Old Mrs. Mu: "Tell my grandma directly, was this roast duck paid for?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The steward, of course, nodded.
"Old lady, this roast duck was paid for by Miss Shuangshuang, and Miss Shuangshuang is a friend of our restaurant. If you want to keep making trouble, First-class Residence doesn’t welcome you, you can leave."
Old Mrs. Mu never thought Mu Shuangshuang was acquainted with the people at First-class Residence.
Nanny Li said that First-class Residence is a newly opened restaurant in town and currently the largest scale in town, average people can’t afford to eat here.
"Mother, that sneaky girl has help, what are we going to do?" Mrs. Lin came over and asked Old Mrs. Mu.
"Get lost, it’s your troublemaking wife who’s always causing trouble. Without figuring things out, stirring up things here, don’t eat lunch!"
Old Mrs. Mu pushed Mrs. Lin aside and gave her a stinking scolding again.
Other members of the Old Mu Family had already found a table, very close to Mu Shuangshuang’s table, where they could see the dishes set on her table.
Mu Shuangshuang’s hand was greasy with the roast duck, she hesitated whether to keep this roast duck.
Mrs. Lin often goes to the toilet without washing her hands.
Her finger joints are often black and dirty, looking at Mrs. Lin made Mu Shuangshuang lose her appetite.
Mrs. Lin seemed to know Mu Shuangshuang’s thoughts, she came closer.
"Shuang girl, if you don’t want to eat this roast duck, just give it to us then. Second Aunt just misunderstood you earlier."
The roast duck at First-class Residence is known to be delicious in this area.
The duck is just the right fatness, the skin roasted to a crispy golden color, looks especially enticing.
Mu Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment, the third branch definitely couldn’t eat it.
But giving it to Mrs. Lin freely, she wasn’t willing.
Coincidentally, at this time, the steward who left earlier returned.
He approached Mu Shuangshuang and said, "Miss Shuangshuang, give the roast duck in your hand to our shop staff. They’re all men who don’t mind if a woman’s hand touched it.
I’ll get you a new, clean one instead, how about it?"
Mu Shuangshuang had no objections, she handed the roast duck to the steward and thanked him.
"Thank you, Uncle Nian, Shuangshuang will go back to the kitchen and continue to work."
