From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1080 - 1076: Things Are Getting Busy (Third Update)
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t rush to agree immediately, but asked the Liu Family’s servant.
"Seeing that you’re so young and yet have earned Mrs. Liu’s trust, what position do you hold in the Liu Mansion? I’d like to visit personally next time."
Mu Shuangshuang chatted with the Liu Family’s servant as if making small talk.
"What position? I’m just the one who empties the night soil. Mrs. Liu asked me to come, so I came!"
The Liu Family’s servant spoke and acted casually, even more so when talking to Mu Shuangshuang.
Not only Mu Shuangshuang was shocked by the mention of night soil emptier, but even Yu Dahai and Lu Yuanfeng were surprised.
The two men were not foolish.
They knew very well what the job of emptying night soil entailed. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
It’s not that they despise night soil emptying, but Mrs. Liu’s attitude seemed to not take Chengfeng Restaurant seriously at all.
The three exchanged glances, sharing their conclusions.
Finally, Mu Shuangshuang, the woman, spoke up: "Brother, please go back and tell Mrs. Liu that our restaurant has already been booked for events during her birthday celebration, and there’s someone taking care of the feast!"
Before speaking, Mu Shuangshuang had pondered this in her mind. Her grandmother’s birthday was three days different from Mrs. Liu’s.
It’s reasonable for her to arrange her grandmother’s celebration a few days early!
"What? You’re not hosting anymore?" The Liu Family’s servant didn’t expect to hear such a reply and instantly blurted out.
Mu Shuangshuang nodded and explained: "It’s not that we’re not hosting, but... but Mrs. Liu provided me with a definite answer before. I thought our restaurant had no chance, so I took on other commitments!"
Mu Shuangshuang maintained a good attitude, and not only that, after saying this, she gave the Liu Family’s servant ten coins as a fee for running errands.
The servant happily returned to the Liu Family.
Told this matter to Mrs. Liu.
Upon hearing this reply, Mrs. Liu suddenly thought Mu Shuangshuang was no ordinary person.
He didn’t rush to dismiss the servant and asked, "Everything they told you, relay each word without missing a single detail to me!"
The Liu Family’s servant, thinking it was something important, nervously recounted the events in complete detail and waited, head down, for Mrs. Liu’s instructions.
Just then, the housekeeper Liu approached.
"Madam, should I personally go and resolve this?" Housekeeper Liu suggested.
Mrs. Liu waved her hand: "No need! Originally, she agreed with me; this matter is over. Since she dares to refuse me, I don’t need to be considerate!
Housekeeper Liu, announce to the outside that our Liu Family birthday banquet is confirmed to be handled by Chengfeng Restaurant.
Additionally, from today on, no one is allowed to go to Chengfeng Restaurant. If they send someone to inquire, no one is allowed to disclose any information about our Liu Family!"
Housekeeper Liu, although skeptical, nodded. "I’ll instruct my subordinates to handle this!"
"Hold on, also, the birthday banquet menu must not be sent over. I want to see what waves a little girl can stir!" Mrs. Liu squinted her eyes, looking at the empty yard before her.
In this instant, she was the Family Head of the Liu Family.
On the other side, although Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng’s trio had refused the Liu Family, they did not relax.
According to Mu Shuangshuang’s judgment, this Mrs. Liu surely isn’t easy to deal with.
Yu Dahai laughed heartily: "Wouldn’t you say we’re being a bit too brave? We actually offended such a famous person like Mrs. Liu in Qingshan Town!"
Lu Yuanfeng kept a straight face, taking over the conversation: "It was inevitable; if we hadn’t done this today, there would be other things in the future that would cause us to clash with the Liu Family!"
"Yes, Mrs. Liu isn’t easy to deal with. I always feel... she’s not someone whose nose can be easily led!"
Last time, because of Mu Qingqing, Mrs. Liu openly refused Mu Shuangshuang.
Back then, Mu Shuangshuang thought Mu Qingqing was really capable, making a well-known figure in Qingshan Town listen to her.
But now, the incident with the Old Mu Family yesterday, Old Mrs. Mu’s stubborn attitude made Mu Shuangshuang feel perhaps... Mu Qingqing had not truly earned Mrs. Liu’s trust.
Of course, this is merely her speculation!
What the truth is, only Mrs. Liu knows!
"What do you think Mrs. Liu will do to our restaurant next?" Yu Dahai looked at Mu Shuangshuang.
Although the decision was made by the three of them, Yu Dahai felt the burden on his shoulders was exceptionally heavy.
"Probably suppression? Or perhaps... making us lose face?" Mu Shuangshuang said.
After speaking, she asked Yu Dahai and Lu Yuanfeng: "What do you think will make our restaurant lose face?"
Lu Yuanfeng answered first: "Unless... we host a birthday party and mess it up!"
"But we’ve already refused!" Yu Dahai was a bit puzzled.
"Brother Yu, you only said we refused. What if the Liu Family insists we host it?" Mu Shuangshuang suddenly proposed the daring answer that everyone feared to imagine.
This time, Yu Dahai was startled.
Lu Yuanfeng, although somewhat anticipated, displayed visible concern on his face.
"If it’s true as Shuangshuang speculates, we’re in trouble! The Liu Family is a prominent family in the town; ordinary landlords are no match for them.
Now, the strongest Xue Family has moved away, leaving no competitor to challenge the Liu Family!"
Mu Shuangshuang had never intended to involve herself in any conflict.
This time, she was caught in it by Mu Qingqing.
On the flip side, it taught her one lesson: she has no backing.
Even if it weren’t the Liu Family today, if Mu Dade became an official someday, he might not be much easier to deal with than the Liu Family.
She still needs to find some backing...
"Here’s an idea: I’ll find someone to investigate what’s going on with the Liu Family, so we can be well-prepared and not worry if anything happens!"
Yu Dahai stood up, addressing Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.
"Thanks for your hard work, Brother Yu!" Mu Shuangshuang smiled at Yu Dahai.
She did not stop Yu Dahai from investigating the Liu Family’s situation. On the contrary, she was eager to know what Mrs. Liu’s plan was!
"Fengzi, I guess we have to get busy too!" Mu Shuangshuang said to Lu Yuanfeng beside her.
Lu Yuanfeng nodded and then spoke up: "A few days ago, I received a letter from a friend I met while in the army.
He’s currently holding a position in Qianzhou Prefecture. Although it’s not a high-ranking position, he has influence with Lord Governor.
If we really face an unsolvable issue, we could reach out to him. He shouldn’t refuse me!"
Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes lit up, and she gave Lu Yuanfeng a thumbs up: "Fengzi, this is like raining timely relief!
But for now, let’s refrain from seeking outside help. Even if Mrs. Liu is difficult, we’re merely a small restaurant; she probably won’t bother with us. Unless..."
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t finish the remaining sentence, but Lu Yuanfeng understood.
Unless she believes Chengfeng Restaurant is important!
