From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1076 - 1072: Courting Disaster (Second Update)
These years as a married couple weren’t for nothing; Mu Zhenzhen knows her husband’s nature clearly.
She is confident that as long as Zhuangzi agrees to see her, she can win him over.
Doesn’t Zhuangzi like children?
Mu Zhenzhen isn’t unable to give birth; at worst, she’ll take a loss and have a child for him.
Better than having someone else’s child be her son.
Despite all the talking, Zhuangzi’s mother really got angry; she simply stopped enduring.
"You little slut, I spoke nicely to you, and you didn’t listen. Today, don’t blame me for being rude!"
After cursing, Zhuangzi’s mother rushed at Mu Zhenzhen with the strength she usually used working on the land.
If it had been before, Mu Zhenzhen would have been badly hurt from such an impact.
But this past year outside, Mu Zhenzhen’s work hasn’t been less than what Zhuangzi’s mother does.
When Zhuangzi’s mother approached, Mu Zhenzhen reached out to block her forcefully, and even tossed Zhuangzi’s mother onto the bed.
Zhuangzi’s mother fell onto the bed, her back felt like it was kicked, hurting terribly.
This move thoroughly angered Zhuangzi’s mother, who ignored her back pain and charged again, entangling with Mu Zhenzhen.
Their strength was about equal, but Mu Zhenzhen had the upper hand, striking hard.
Slaps and kicks flew back and forth, neither of them giving in.
During the scuffle, Zhuangzi’s mother punched Mu Zhenzhen in the chest, making her cry out in pain.
Unyielding, Mu Zhenzhen grabbed Zhuangzi’s mother’s hair and yanked hard.
Zhuangzi’s mother let out a scream; the women outside rushed in, sensing a cue.
Shouting, "Ladies, charge! Beat that little hussy and show her we women of Dahuo Village aren’t to be trifled with!"
Steps thundered as they came rushing in.
Mu Zhenzhen barely realized what was happening before someone hit her face, followed by others trying to tear her clothes.
Everyone fought and cursed like mad women.
Even Zhuangzi’s mother wasn’t spared, receiving several slaps, seeing stars.
Mrs. Zhou was stunned, seeing her mother-in-law caught in the chaos, shouted, "Stop! All of you stop..."
The village women, seeing red, ignored calls to stop, focusing only on their own fight.
With so many, even if they beat Mu Zhenzhen, none would admit it, leaving her with no trouble.
Getting beaten, Mu Zhenzhen flared up, shouting, "Try hitting me again! My big brother is a scholar of Da Ning Dynasty, now in the Capital for exams. At worst, he’ll become a County Chief Clerk; if anyone dares touch me again, I’ll make sure they lose a limb!"
Everyone hesitated; people cannot fight officials—a timeless truth.
Mu Zhenzhen’s brother was known to be a scholar, the entire Dahuo Village knew.
If things turn out as she says, they’d be pitiful.
Punches finally stopped landing on Mu Zhenzhen. Free at last, her clothes were torn by someone, and a jealous one left a bloody scratch on her face during the chaos.
"You ugly dames dared touch my face..." Mu Zhenzhen cursed holding her face.
"You ugly dames robbed my jewelry, took my money. Dare rob again! I’m here, why aren’t you robbing?"
Mu Zhenzhen pointed at the nearest woman’s face.
The woman humiliated, dared not retort, cursed Mu Zhenzhen silently in her heart.
At this moment, Mu Zhenzhen felt comfortable, delighted!
Once divorced by Zhuangzi, she was like a stray dog, bullied by these women. Now her brother is a scholar, and these ugly dames fear her.
"Regarding the Zhao family, today I lay down harsh words; you ugly dames, don’t mess with me. Be careful, or I’ll be rude!"
The women feared Mu Zhenzhen’s claims; who dared contest her words?
As Mu Zhenzhen cursed, they began to retreat, leaving behind the woman whose face Mu Zhenzhen had pointed at.
Finding herself alone, the woman endured pain and dashed out of the Zhao family’s backyard.
Spectating is fine, but can’t get burned.
Soon, other onlookers left as well.
Mu Zhenzhen regained control.
Beside, Zhuangzi’s mother panted heavily; when they beat Mu Zhenzhen, she wasn’t spared either; now she suffered the consequences, aching all over.
Three waited in the backyard for Zhuangzi’s return, but come evening, Zhuangzi still hadn’t appeared.
Mu Zhenzhen believed Zhuangzi had been controlled by Cui’er, who wouldn’t let him see her.
She threw down harsh words.
"Alright, since that bitch won’t let Zhuangzi see me, I’ll force her to come to me!"
Mu Zhenzhen thought about Xiao Mai Zi, still studying at the school; he was Zhuangzi’s current wife’s son.
Once she grabbed her son, Zhuangzi and his wife wouldn’t avoid showing up.
With this decision, Mu Zhenzhen headed home.
Renting an ox cart again, Mu Zhenzhen angrily made her way back.
But when she got home, it was already dark, and school had long ended.
Mu Zhenzhen, furious, erupted at home; no one’s advice could quell her wrath.
——
Early the next day, Mu Zhenzhen didn’t sleep in, aimlessly wandered in Old Mu Family’s courtyard.
She wasn’t in a hurry to make a scene at school; she would wait for the children to go to school and the Zhuangzi family to leave Er Gui Village.
Dahuo Village isn’t nearby. A round trip would take considerable time.
Even if word of her dealing with Cui’er’s son reached Dahuo Village, they’d rescue too late.
Standing in her courtyard, watching Xiao Han heading to school with his bag.
Mu Zhenzhen waited another half hour before leaving Old Mu family’s yard towards the school.
Along the way, Mu Zhenzhen met many acquaintances; everyone, out of respect for Mu Dade, greeted her, yet she ignored them.
Outside the school, Mu Zhenzhen found the school gate tightly closed.
She peered in, spotting Mu Dashan in the schoolyard.
"Third Brother~" Mu Zhenzhen called out.
Mu Dashan saw Mu Zhenzhen, puzzled, approached to ask, "Zhenzhen, what are you doing?"
"Third Brother, is Zhuangzi’s bastard... no, the woman Zhuangzi’s with now has a son here?" Mu Zhenzhen didn’t answer Mu Dashan’s question, instead asked him.
