From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1108 - 1104: How About... Helping Us Pay Off Our Debt? (Third Update)
Mu Shuangshuang agreed, then said to Yu Si Niang in the kitchen, "Mom, you stay at home and entertain the uncles."
"Yuanbao, Xiao Han, you two little men keep watch at home and protect your sister! If Brother Yuan Feng and Brother Beichen come, let them hurry over!"
After Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, she picked up a wooden stick from the ground, followed Mu Dashan, and rushed to the Old Mu Family’s house.
Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen were not around; they had gone into the mountains early in the morning.
No one knew exactly when they would be back.
When they reached Mu Danian’s house, from inside they could hear Chen Hong shouting and the sound of Old Mrs. Mu chopping things, which made those listening feel terrified.
Mu Shuangshuang and Mu Dashan stepped into the house and just saw Old Mrs. Mu raising an axe, aiming it at Chen Hong.
Mu Dashan was so shocked that he froze, unable to say a word.
Mu Danian covered his eyes, screaming nonstop.
At that critical moment, Mu Shuangshuang threw the wooden stick in her hand.
Old Mrs. Mu’s hand was hit painfully; the axe in her hand lost its strength and flew out through the window, lodging deeply into the courtyard wall—
"Oh, my hand, my hand..." Old Mrs. Mu shouted in pain.
Mu Shuangshuang stepped forward in a few strides and subdued Old Mrs. Mu with a move.
She instructed Mu Danian on the side, "Uncle, go get a rope and tie up my grandma!"
After shouting several times, Mu Danian snapped out of it as if from a dream.
He shivered, searching through the mess inside his house, before finally finding a piece of discarded old cloth.
"This...this is all I have!" Mu Danian said, trembling.
Mu Shuangshuang looked at Mu Danian’s cowardly appearance with disdain.
Back then, in that situation, he pushed Huang Bita to Old Mrs. Mu when she had a knife, making Huang Bita suffer so much.
Today, it’s time to scare this cowardly turtle grandson!
"Uncle, why are you hesitating, hurry up and tie up my grandma!" Mu Shuangshuang urged.
"I-I’m scared!" Mu Danian cried out cowardly. "Let Brother do it, I-I won’t!"
"This is your family’s issue, if you don’t do it, I’ll let grandma go and have her chop you with the axe!"
Mu Danian was frightened and really came over to tie up Old Mrs. Mu with the rope.
He tied Old Mrs. Mu tightly, then found a piece of rag to gag her mouth.
Meanwhile, Chen Hong squatted in the corner, looking disheveled.
She didn’t even know when the situation ended.
Mu Danian didn’t have time to care about her but instead asked Mu Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, what should we do next?"
"How should I know, go ask Grandpa, he’s the head of the family!" Mu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes, her tone slightly unfriendly.
Mu Danian felt a pang in his chest; he originally wanted to lose his temper, but seeing his mother’s vicious gaze, he didn’t have the courage.
"Shuangshuang, you and the third brother accompany me to go, I’m scared..."
It’s bizarre for a grown man to constantly say he’s scared.
Mu Shuangshuang was about to agree when Mu Dashan nodded.
"Fifth, let’s hurry and go, find out what to do, then we’ll release mom; we can’t keep her tied up!"
"No, I won’t release her! If we let her go, she’ll start chopping people, didn’t you see, such a big axe..." Mu Danian refused.
Mu Dashan was not pleased either.
He ignored Mu Danian.
The two of them, together, carried Old Mrs. Mu to Mr. Mu’s room.
After Mu Danian left, Mr. Mu was inside, smoking dry tobacco, puff after puff.
In no time, the room was filled with smoke.
Anyone entering the room was choked, unable to bear it.
Mu Danian complained, "Dad, what are you doing, smoking this stuff in broad daylight, without even opening a window, are you trying to kill us?"
Only Mu Dashan stepped forward, opened the window, and put away Mr. Mu’s tobacco pipe.
Recovered, Mr. Mu’s first sentence was, "Did your mother kill someone? Hurry and call the village head and take her away!"
Tied up, Old Mrs. Mu, hearing Mr. Mu’s words, wildly shouted as if she wanted to fight with him.
"Dad, Mom hasn’t done anything irreversible, but we’re afraid she’ll continue doing something stupid, so we tied her up and brought her back," Mu Dashan calmly explained to Mr. Mu.
Mr. Mu was taken aback,
and his eyes involuntarily turned to Mu Shuangshuang.
"Shuang girl...was it you?"
Mr. Mu believed that in the Old Mu Family, the only one who could stop his woman was this granddaughter.
"Grandpa, don’t rush to thank me, I didn’t want to get involved in this either; I came only because I saw my dad.
And don’t feel lucky; we can stop this once, but not twice. The key is for you to communicate with grandma more, not take everything out on others."
Mu Shuangshuang’s attitude was not good.
After she finished, she went to Old Mrs. Mu and pulled out the rag from her mouth.
As soon as Old Mrs. Mu was free, she started to curse.
Cursing Mr. Mu, cursing Mu Dashan, cursing Mu Danian.
"Cursing is useless; if you had really chopped with that axe today, not to mention getting yourself involved, my uncle would pack up immediately and get kicked out by the government!"
"You’re talking nonsense!" Old Mrs. Mu swore.
"See for yourself, check the Da Ning Dynasty’s laws; a murderer’s mother cannot hold a government position!"
Mu Shuangshuang snorted coldly.
"You..."
Actually, by now, Old Mrs. Mu already regretted it; she didn’t truly intend to kill anyone.
It was just that she couldn’t swallow her anger at that moment!
She felt that, in her place, anyone else would have done the same.
"Grandpa, you shouldn’t talk about giving up; it’s also your responsibility that the Old Mu Family has come to this point. If you let go, the Old Mu Family will fall apart!"
Mu Shuangshuang was not sure if Old Mrs. Mu becoming a murderer would affect the third branch.
But the reputation would surely be bad.
"Shuangshuang is right, I...when the eldest returns, I will discuss with him." Mr. Mu said, his face reddening.
"This has nothing to do with me; any debt you owe, settle it yourself. And any apologies, make them yourself!"
Mu Shuangshuang had no desire for any trouble with the Old Mu Family.
Nor did she want to deal with any trouble from others because of the Old Mu Family’s problems.
Mu Danian’s eyes turned, and suddenly he said, "Shuangshuang, we’re all family, how about...you pay off our debts, let Gao Tiezhu’s people leave?"
"You’re talking nonsense! The debts you owe, let me pay? When you wanted to sell me, did you think we were family?
In any case, I won’t deal with the debt issue, and those people won’t trouble me, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
After speaking, Mu Shuangshuang added, "Since Uncle is so eager to solve the problem, why not marry Gao’s daughter!
That way, I’ll have a Fifth Aunt, and the Old Mu Family’s debts can be settled! Kill two birds with one stone, without bothering anyone else!"
"What do you mean I marry Gao Cuihua? You must be kidding, that ugly woman?"
