From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1117 - 1113: Qingqing Grassland Above His Head (Third Update)
Lu Yuanfeng’s words rang in her ears.
Mu Shuangshuang finally felt a bit better in her heart.
Yes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. It’s better to know sooner than later!
The only worry now is if this matter is discovered, the County Magistrate might vent his anger on the other members of the Old Mu Family. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
The third branch isn’t a big problem since, on the documents, the third branch has already split from the Old Mu Family.
Plus, given her relationship with Zheng Zhi, she could do someone a favor and let the split third branch and Mu Dalang off the hook!
"Fengzi, I feel like we need to find Xing Beichen for this matter, have him leave a letter for me."
Xing Beichen is Xing Ningtian’s son; even the most idle position is higher than the County Magistrate’s.
Moreover, he has access to people in the Capital; the County Magistrate would certainly give some face to what he says.
"It’s just, this letter, we need to make it a bit obscure, so the County Magistrate doesn’t realize that we knew about this matter beforehand, otherwise..." Mu Shuangshuang said again.
In this lifetime, a man’s greatest fear is a woman putting a green hat on him.
What Mu Dade gave him was not just a green hat; it was a vast green pasture!
Lu Yuanfeng nodded.
"When Brother Beichen comes back, we will discuss this with him!"
Meanwhile, the people from the third branch, due to what Mu Dade did, were discussing solutions and completely forgot to call a doctor for Mu Danian.
Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu, upon hearing what Mu Shuangshuang said, packed some things and got up to go to Jin Family Village.
Poor Mu Danian, nose bleeding all over, body covered in bruises, and no one cared.
He lay on the ground, groaning and wailing the entire afternoon, and no one paid him any attention.
In the end, it was Mu Dajiang who, seeing him pitiful, used a folk remedy; took some ash from the hearth, and sprinkled it on Mu Danian’s bleeding areas.
He also grabbed some mud from the side of the water tank, mixed it with water, fed it to Mu Danian, and carried him like a load of goods to his own room.
...
Mr. Mu had nothing wrong with his health initially, he only fell ill because of anger.
Now that good news came, he was better too!
The blood on Old Mrs. Mu’s forehead stopped flowing pretty quickly, so she didn’t bother with it either.
The two called for an ox cart at the village entrance, took it on credit, and headed to Jin Family Village.
At this moment, Mrs. Jin was unaware that Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu were coming to Jin Family Village, still living happily and comfortably at the Jin Family.
Today, Mrs. Jin rarely came out, taking advantage of the good weather and the not-too-strong sun.
She closed her eyes and relaxed in the courtyard.
Mrs. Jin was awakened by a burst of noisy commotion, opening her eyes to see Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu waving at the courtyard gate.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you’ve really come back? Quick, open the door for me and your mother, hurry..." Mr. Mu shouted.
Old Mrs. Mu also yelled: "What are you just standing there for? Hurry and open the door!"
Mrs. Jin was utterly confused.
She didn’t know Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu were coming to find her.
Even more so, she didn’t expect to be caught by them.
Mrs. Jin had been staying at home for almost half a year. During this time,
she didn’t need to serve a man or look at the face of her parents-in-law, enjoying utmost comfort!
But the appearance of Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu woke her up!
Her matters were just beginning!
Her grudge with Mu Dade was far from over!
The loud commotion alarmed Old Mrs. Jin in the back yard.
When they came out, they saw Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu.
Instinctively, they looked at their daughter, Mrs. Jin.
Mrs. Jin composed herself: "Mother, it’s okay, go ahead and open the gate!"
Mrs. Jin didn’t go to open the door herself; she didn’t want to be treated like a servant by Old Mrs. Mu.
Old Mrs. Jin personally went to open the door, and as soon as she did, Old Mrs. Mu rushed over.
At this moment, the wound on Old Mrs. Mu’s forehead cracked open again, and the already blood-stained bandage began to seep blood once more.
As she approached, a bloody smell surged up.
Mrs. Jin turned her head away in disgust.
Urgent to ask about her son’s whereabouts, Old Mrs. Mu didn’t notice these details.
"Yinyin, where is Dade? Is he in your backyard? How long have you been back?" Old Mrs. Mu bombarded her with questions.
She even shouted Mrs. Jin’s childhood nickname.
Mrs. Jin was utterly disgusted!
How was she supposed to know where Mu Dade was?
How was she supposed to know where that beast was living joyfully?
However, on the surface, Mrs. Jin still maintained a polite demeanor.
"Father, Mother, please have a seat first!" Mrs. Jin said, signaling Old Mrs. Jin with her eyes.
Old Mrs. Jin immediately had the family bring over two chairs.
They sat and began to talk in the courtyard.
"Yinyin, what’s going on, tell me and your father!"
Old Mrs. Mu, with that still bleeding head, took Mrs. Jin’s hand with deep concern.
Her polite manner was the first time Mrs. Jin had seen it in all her years married into the Old Mu Family.
Mrs. Jin subtly withdrew her hand.
Took her time to speak: "Mother, Dade isn’t here with me!"
"What? Didn’t you go together?" Old Mrs. Mu couldn’t help but complain: "How can you not even keep an eye on one person? You’re his wife!"
As soon as Old Mrs. Mu finished complaining, Mr. Mu gave her a look.
As if warning her not to say anything rash.
Mr. Mu continued the conversation: "Eldest daughter-in-law, do explain to us where Dade is, so your mother and I can stop worrying.
We are waiting to know his whereabouts so we can report back to the others!"
Mrs. Jin rolled her eyes internally.
Just as Old Mrs. Mu was about to lose patience, she said: "Dade and I didn’t stay together, we split up in the county town, I thought I’d come home to rest a few days and go back with him once he’s returned!"
Mr. Mu nodded repeatedly.
"Then he must have gone to celebrate with his colleagues!"
"By the way, did Dade... win the Champion Scholar title? Why haven’t we heard anything about it?"
As Mr. Mu said this, he even lowered his breath,
waiting to hear good news from Mrs. Jin’s mouth.
He didn’t know that his words had stirred up the resentment deep in Mrs. Jin’s heart.
Mrs. Jin had wholeheartedly spent money and effort to find someone to buy the exam papers, allowing Mu Dade to become a scholar.
Otherwise, with Mu Dade’s capabilities, he wouldn’t have achieved it in a lifetime.
But how did he repay her?
He watched as she went to prison and let that bitch take her documents away.
That bitch was living joyfully in the Capital using her identity alongside her husband.
While she had to wait here, in this wretched place!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and Mrs. Jin’s expression turned somewhat ugly.
"What’s the matter... with you?" Mr. Mu suddenly became tense.
Old Mrs. Mu too: "Why are you dragging your words? Just say it clearly!"
"Dade... didn’t make it!"
Mrs. Jin suddenly said.
In fact, she didn’t know the actual news, but she was sure that without her, Mu Dade couldn’t have become Champion Scholar!
