From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1114 - 1110: Selling the Restaurant and School to Save Lives! (Third Update)
Mr. Mu watched Mu Danian and Old Mrs. Mu trap Mu Dashan without saying a fair word.
He actually knew what kind of scheme Old Mrs. Mu and Mu Danian were brewing.
After Zhang Huai Shu left, Old Mrs. Mu and Mu Danian discussed together how to solve the current predicament.
Gao Tiezhu is ruthless; not repaying the debt is definitely not an option.
But repaying it means they can’t possibly afford it, even if they sell everything. The only way is to turn to the third branch with the restaurant and school.
Three hundred taels, if they sell the restaurant and school, can surely help Old Mu Family through the tough times.
The only problem is that Old Mu Family is managed by that nasty girl, and Mu Dashan doesn’t handle matters.
If Mu Dashan is willing to take on the responsibility and take the money into his own hands, then give it to Old Mu Family, it would be great.
Of course, some tactics are needed. It’s best to make Mu Dashan urgently want to help Old Mu Family.
Mu Danian suggested letting Mu Dashan actively assume this responsibility. He knew Mu Dashan valued loyalty and keeps his word. If he agrees to this, it would be almost settled!
When Mu Danian proposed the idea, Mr. Mu was listening nearby, neither supporting nor opposing.
If the third branch is willing to give, he would thank them.
If they’re not willing, he wouldn’t force them.
"Uncle Dashan, don’t be fooled by them. They want you to take responsibility for the three hundred taels of silver!"
Yuanbao suddenly interjected.
As soon as he spoke, Mu Dashan woke up as if from a dream.
"Fifth, mother, are you... are you really planning to let me repay those three hundred taels of silver?" Mu Dashan asked.
"Third brother, what are you talking about? This is our Old Mu Family’s debt, we wouldn’t possibly let you be responsible," Mu Danian said with a smile while glaring at Yuanbao.
At this moment, he wished he could strangle Yuanbao.
That damn thing ruined his plan!
"Mother, you say, what’s really going on... I want the truth from your mouth!" Mu Dashan stopped questioning Mu Danian and turned to ask Old Mrs. Mu.
Old Mrs. Mu initially wanted to speak nicely to Mu Dashan, but then she thought, she’s Mu Dashan’s mother.
As a mother, being questioned by her son over a small thing, it would be embarrassing. She simply didn’t hide it— 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Yes, third, that brat was right! I do want you to repay the three hundred taels of silver.
But I’m not asking you to give for free. You help us repay the silver, and when the elder comes back, I’ll let him give you three hundred taels of silver!" Old Mrs. Mu said.
"Hmph, I told you! Uncle Dashan, that’s exactly what Sister Shuangshuang said about the wolf disguised as a grandmother!"
Mu Shuangshuang had told the children the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
So for that kind of bad old woman, Yuanbao always referred to her as the wolf disguised as a grandmother.
Because she’s bad enough!
"Brat, shut up! This is not a place for you to speak," Old Mrs. Mu yelled at Yuanbao, the wound on her head burst open.
Blood started flowing profusely from her head, soon soaking the gauze.
Yuanbao, startled by the shout, hid behind Mu Dashan, who carefully protected Little Zhi and him, shielding them from Old Mrs. Mu’s gaze.
At this moment, Mu Dashan was about to explode with anger. He had good intentions visiting his parents, but his mother had set him up again.
Mu Dashan: "Mother, I won’t let you speak about Yuanbao like that. Yuanbao wasn’t wrong! You had ulterior motives, purposely making me promise, intentionally embarrassing me..."
"And what’s wrong with you, you’re my son, shouldn’t I speak about you?" Old Mrs. Mu rolled up her sleeves.
Appearing as if she was ready for a fight.
Mu Danian, worried things would escalate beyond control, hurriedly called out in anxiety.
"Mother, you’re bleeding!"
Old Mrs. Mu waved her hand. "Forget about that! Third, give me a clear answer, are you going to handle Old Mu Family’s matter or not, just one word!
Speak like a man, don’t involve that nasty girl!"
Mu Dashan didn’t hesitate this time and shook his head: "No, I can’t handle it!"
"Oh... Seems like I raised you for nothing all these years. You still hold this attitude, even when Old Mu Family faces such difficulties, you think only of that nasty woman Yu Si Niang and that girl!"
Old Mrs. Mu shouted.
Mu Danian started to mediate, "Third brother, don’t be angry, mother doesn’t mean that. Mother... Mother was hurt emotionally by Gao Tiezhu’s people, afraid that Old Mu Family would collapse like this. In mother’s eyes, you’re still very important!"
Mu Danian’s words sounded very nice.
If Yuanbao hadn’t uncovered him earlier, Mu Danian might have softened at these words.
But now, he wouldn’t soften.
"Letting me take responsibility means how? How do I repay?" Mu Dashan asked Mu Danian coldly.
Mu Danian didn’t hold back either, "The restaurant, school, third brother, we watched you go from a commoner to owning these good things.
I asked around, if you sell that restaurant in town, along with the village’s school, you can definitely gather three hundred taels of silver. Once the three hundred taels are repaid, Old Mu Family will be fine."
Mu Dashan listened to Mu Danian’s words, then looked at his expression filled with yearning.
At this moment, there was no hint of regret or reluctance in Mu Danian’s words.
Because these things originally belonged to the third branch.
Whether sold or ruined, Mu Danian wouldn’t feel pain or loss at all!
But if these belonged to Mu Danian, he wouldn’t sell them even if it killed him!
"After selling them? What about the third branch? What about Shuangshuang?" Mu Dashan asked Mu Danian with reddened eyes.
"Third brother, don’t you still have a few acres of land? And that pig farm, relying on farming and pig-raising, could still support you, right?" Mu Danian said as if it was the rightful thing.
He didn’t notice that with each word he said, Mu Dashan’s face became darker.
"As for the girl, isn’t she already engaged with that brat? Anyway, she’s a girl, might as well marry off, then in the future, the food and use won’t be Old Mu Family’s money. Third brother, don’t you think?" Mu Danian asked Mu Dashan.
"And what about you?" Mu Dashan asked another question.
"Me? Of course, I’m going to work hard alongside the third brother. The elder isn’t back yet, we from Old Mu Family need to eat, right?"
Just as he finished speaking, Mu Dashan punched him.
Punching Mu Danian’s face. "You beast, you even dare to say such things, why don’t you just die?"
Mu Danian was hit, angered as well.
"Die, third brother, aren’t you mistaken? I’m your blood brother who grew up with you, you want me to die? Are you even human?"
"I’m not human, today I’m going to beat you to death, you beast!" Mu Dashan shouted...
