From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1073 - 1069: Just Like This (Third Update)
Lu Yuanfeng was the closest to Old Lady Lu. He wanted to comfort her, but after opening his mouth for a while, he still didn’t know what to say.
He looked to Mu Shuangshuang for help.
Mu Shuangshuang came in from outside and said to Lu Yuanfeng, "Fengzi, can you help me pick up the kitchen knife and wash it by the river?"
Lu Yuanfeng looked at Mu Shuangshuang with gratitude and went out.
The so-called washing knife was just an excuse Mu Shuangshuang made up for Lu Yuanfeng.
Mu Shuangshuang knew that Lu Yuanfeng was kind-hearted and couldn’t bear to see Old Lady Lu, at such an old age, crying so sadly by herself.
But his mother’s matter was still unresolved.
If Lu Yuanfeng could accept the two elders of the Lu Family without any qualms, it wouldn’t make sense either.
It was better to let his future wife solve the problem for Fengzi.
Lu Yuanfeng now only trusted Mu Shuangshuang. When she asked him to leave temporarily, he listened and stood not far from the Lu Family’s yard.
Mu Shuangshuang crouched down and comforted Old Lady Lu, "Grandma Lu, I know you’re feeling bad inside, but Chen Xiaoyue is just that kind of person. What kind of person does what kind of thing. If you’re not a maggot, you really wouldn’t stay in the cesspool.
You’re feeling sad for her, ruining your own mood and hurting your own body; it’s not worth it at all!"
Old Lady Lu listened to Mu Shuangshuang, still crying, but she reached out and tightly gripped Mu Shuangshuang’s hand, softly pleading:
"Girl, you’re Fengfeng’s future wife. In my heart, I consider you a granddaughter-in-law.
My husband and I wronged Fengfeng, wronged Fengfeng’s mother before, but we know our mistakes now.
We old bones don’t have many days left. Can you help me persuade Fengfeng... persuade him not to treat me and his grandpa as enemies anymore!"
Mu Shuangshuang frowned slightly. She had long anticipated that one day the old lady would beg Lu Yuanfeng for forgiveness, and it was highly likely she would say it to her.
She just didn’t expect it to come so soon.
Especially in this situation, it caught Mu Shuangshuang off guard.
Mu Shuangshuang thought it over and still felt Chen Xiaoyue’s actions had agitated Old Lady Lu.
Old folks are most afraid of, ultimately, two things.
An unsettled home and no one to care for them.
The old saying goes, "Raise children to guard against old age," so you can see how much elderly people value this aspect of care.
But now the situation is, after Old Sir Lu’s illness, the Old Lu Family scattered, and relying on sons and daughters-in-law for elder care has almost become impossible.
An unsettled home, no elder care, both have coincided.
If Old Lady Lu could still remain calm, it would indeed be strange.
"Grandma Lu, some things you know better than I do... maybe Shuangshuang’s words sound unpleasant, but I’m just stating the facts.
Fengzi went to the military camp for the sake of this family. A teenager living away from home can’t be doing well; you know even if I don’t say it!
Now that Fengzi is back, it’s also for this family, but you lost the most important person in his family. Without his mother, the home is not a home! This kind of pain, no one can bear that!"
Mu Shuangshuang’s words made Old Lady Lu feel even more sorrow.
She used a hand like a withered branch to wipe her tears.
"If I had known the mistakes we made would bring such a big impact on Fengzi, I would definitely have stopped it!" Old Lady Lu muttered.
Mu Shuangshuang looked at Old Lady Lu in this state, feeling both heartache and a little resentment.
Whom did her Fengzi offend?
A well-settled home was shattered by someone.
Shattered, yet beseeched to forgive those who did wrong.
Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t sure if this was a common trait among people who made mistakes.
First apologize to people, then beg for forgiveness.
Apologizing to the victim is to make the victim feel better, but what does requesting forgiveness do?
That’s to make oneself feel better!
Why must those who caused distress for others be forgiven just because they’ve repented?
From her heart, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t quite agree with such values.
However, Old Lady Lu was of a certain age, and Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t really make her go to her death.
Not to mention she wouldn’t agree, even Fengzi knew it, he wouldn’t agree.
After pondering for a moment, she responded to Old Lady Lu: "Actually, Fengzi doesn’t hate you and Mr. Lu at all! He’s just blaming himself for leaving home, not protecting his mother well!
If you want me to talk to Fengzi to forgive you, maybe Fengzi might accept you and Mr. Lu because of me. But do you want to see Fengzi in pain?"
Old Lady Lu hesitated for a moment and shook her head.
"To be honest, I don’t want to either! I care more about him than anyone else. I hope every deed he does is from the heart, not forced by anyone!
Instead of thinking about when Fengzi will forgive you, it’s better to let everything take its course. When Fengzi lets go of his grudges, he will naturally accept you and Mr. Lu!"
Old Lady Lu looked at the young girl before her. Initially, she didn’t think much of this girl at all.
Always feeling like her grandson deserved someone better.
But who knew, after repeated interactions, she had completely abandoned her initial thoughts.
Even felt... her grandson was lucky to find her!
"Girl... I won’t force Fengfeng to do anything, I promise you!"
Old Lady Lu figured it out, like the person in front said, she should let everything take its course.
Maybe one day, when the daughter-in-law comes back, Fengfeng’s family reunites and resolves emotional knots, they might even acknowledge the old pair.
Just hope that day comes soon!
——
When Lu Yuanfeng entered the kitchen, the two people had stopped talking, and Old Lady Lu wasn’t crying, standing in the kitchen tidying up the mess left by Chen Xiaoyue.
Meanwhile, Mu Shuangshuang helped Old Lady Lu cut all the rice tofu into uniform square pieces.
In the part missing a big hole, Lu Yuanfeng didn’t know what method Shuangshuang used, but the cut looked quite nice.
The two took two pieces of rice tofu from Old Lady Lu and returned to Lu Yuanfeng’s own home.
Lu Yuanfeng didn’t ask him what his grandmother and Shuangshuang talked about, and Mu Shuangshuang didn’t bring it up proactively.
The two went back to eat lunch, finished their meal, cleaned the dishes, and went into the mountain together.

Old Mu Family, Backyard
After a nap, Mu Zhenzhen woke up, and the more she thought, the harder she found it to swallow.
She went to the village entrance, rented a villager’s ox cart, and hurried towards Dahuo Village.
Surprisingly, when she arrived at Dahuo Village, the time wasn’t too late.
After paying for the ox cart, Mu Zhenzhen jumped off the cart and went into Dahuo Village.
Dahuo Village was the same as before, unchanged a bit. The two big date trees at the village entrance, in winter, Mu Zhenzhen had Zhuangzi pick dates for her.
Back then, how good was she with Zhuangzi?
When she told Zhuangzi to go east, he dared not go west; told him to kneel, he dared not stand up.
Truth be told, Mu Zhenzhen still couldn’t believe that the man she bullied and controlled for ten years would divorce her like that!
