From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 769 - 765 The Lackey’s Legs Were Broken (Second Update)
"Do you mean that? Xiangxiang just recovered, and you gave her so much to eat, aren’t you making all our previous efforts go to waste?"
Mr. Mu was almost infuriated by Old Mrs. Mu.
Mr. Mu still remembered what the town doctor said back then.
Also, Zhang Huai Shu’s words that his daughter must eat like a normal person, not too much, or her life would be in danger.
"I... I just got confused out of anger, and since Xiangxiang was upset, I wanted to comfort her, and suddenly forgot!" Old Mrs. Mu retorted.
"You women always doing bad things!" Mr. Mu remarked.
Old Mrs. Mu quickly went to check on Mu Xiangxiang, anxiously asking, "Xiangxiang, my dear, are you okay?"
With a full belly, Mu Xiangxiang smiled more and shook her head carefreely while holding her stomach.
"That’s good, that’s good. I told you, my daughter won’t have problems after just one meal, you old fool always saying scary things," Old Mrs. Mu said.
Seeing his daughter’s reaction, Mr. Mu didn’t know how to feel.
Had it been a girl from any other family, she would have been seeking death, crying alone in the room.
But his daughter only cared about eating. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Ah, what’s the matter here?" Mr. Mu asked.
"What’s the matter? As long as our daughter is fine, it’s good. Those Qin Family people, I won’t let them off," Old Mrs. Mu declared harshly.
Yet in her heart, she hoped the Qin Family people would show up today.
If the Qin Family showed up, the Old Mu Family could find a reason, saying that their family had some misfortune or something, making it easier to block the mouths of the villagers and regain some face for Mu Xiangxiang.
But after waiting all afternoon, as night fell, the Qin Family still hadn’t arrived.
All hope was shattered!
Old Mrs. Mu was like a madwoman, cursing the Qin Family constantly.
Mr. Mu felt irritated listening to this, and said, "What are you yelling about all afternoon, it’s already dark, do you think the Qin Family will still come?"
"Hmph, if I don’t curse the Qin Family, I can’t swallow this. Back then, it was their Qin Family who shamelessly wanted to marry our Xiangxiang.
I didn’t even think much of it, even when in the restaurant, our Xiangxiang didn’t mind that Qin Shijie was short, but how did their Qin Family treat us, Old Mu Family?" Old Mrs. Mu said.
"What’s the use of saying that now? I told you back then, the Qin Family kept giving clothes and silver, no family gives such riches for a bride, they never meant well!
Now look, they didn’t even show up for the engagement feast."
Mr. Mu never liked the Qin Family, they appeared too suddenly, and they were so generous, plus that Qin Shijie was just too ugly.
"Now you know to say it, why didn’t you say anything before?" Old Mrs. Mu gave Mr. Mu a cold glance.
"Alright, let’s stop quarreling. Tomorrow morning, we’ll go to town and cause trouble for the Qin Family!" Mr. Mu said.
Only then did Old Mrs. Mu stop cursing.
But as soon as she stopped, she started crying again, like a pig being slaughtered.
Even the third branch and the main branch of the Old Mu Family heard it.
Mu Shuangshuang happened to be in the kitchen roasting sweet potatoes for a few kids, hearing the noise, she knew they wouldn’t be sleeping tonight.
Old Mrs. Mu was an expert at making a fuss.
Little Zhi bit into the fragrant sweet potato, thought for a long time, then spoke.
"Sister, why is Grandma crying and shouting again? Little Zhi is scared!"
Before Mu Shuangshuang could speak, Yuanbao spoke up. "Don’t be scared, Little Zhi, Brother Yuanbao will protect you. As long as you follow Brother Yuanbao, nothing dangerous will happen."
Mu Shuangshuang laughed, she always thought Yuanbao was a flirting expert, appearing everywhere.
Especially when Little Zhi had any questions.
However, having Yuanbao around saved her a lot of trouble.
"It’s getting late, you all go to the room, soak your feet, and sleep early!" Mu Shuangshuang instructed.
These days, Yuanbao and Xue Zheng were both staying at the third branch of the Old Mu Family.
Mu Xiaohan’s small bed suddenly had three people in it, but the three kids said it was fine, so Mu Shuangshuang didn’t intervene. Anyway, it’s cold in winter, and having something to warm your feet isn’t bad.
"Alright, Sister Shuangshuang, you go sleep, we know how to soak our feet."
Kids being independent is great, they don’t need you to worry about anything.
Mu Shuangshuang nodded.
"I’m going to sleep then!"
Before sleeping, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t forget to throw food for Little Black and the Little Black Dog.
Winter had arrived, and Little Black hardly left its nest anymore. Mu Shuangshuang made another nest for it inside the house, laid dry grass, and placed some cloth picked up from Ah Rubu’s Mansion.
Looking at the Little Black that had gotten so fat, Mu Shuangshuang wondered if she should release Little Black back into the wild. At least when she first saw Little Black, it was a thin, weasel-like black mink.
Now its mink fur was about to burst, having swollen from small size S to XXX... L!
Early the next morning, Old Mrs. Mu woke from her sleep, and the first thing she did was gather the whole family to go to town to trouble the Old Qin Family.
Mu Dazhong and Mu Danyan responded positively.
Back then, each of them got two taels of silver from Qin Shijie, and their eldest brother even got a piece of jade. This time, they went with anger, hoping to get more things.
But before their wishful thinking was completed, the gate of the Old Mu Family’s courtyard was violently smashed open.
Then a big man with a face full of ferocity, leading a group of thugs, stormed in.
"Mu Dabiao, Mu Dabiao..." The big man shouted in the front yard of the Old Mu Family, disturbing even the pigs of the Old Mu Family.
The pigs in the pen started squealing, as if predicting something was about to happen to the Old Mu Family.
"Mu Dabiao, get out and pay your debt!" The big man shouted several times in the front yard, seeing no one coming out, he wanted to head into the Old Mu Family’s inner courtyard, just as the people of the Old Mu Family came out.
"Who are you? I don’t know you!" Mr. Mu said.
"You don’t know me? Hmph, Mu Dabiao, your son-in-law Qin Shijie should recognize us, right?" The big man shouted gruffly.
This burly and fat man stood in the front yard of the Old Mu Family, exuding an unprovoked sense of oppression.
The sons of the Old Mu Family all stepped back, leaving Mr. Mu alone to stand in front.
"You know Qin Shijie? Then do you know why Qin Shijie didn’t come to our engagement feast yesterday?" Mr. Mu asked.
"Hmph, that turtle son Qin Shijie was gambling with our boss the night before last and lost all of the Qin Family’s assets, while also owing a thousand taels of silver. We broke Qin Shijie’s leg yesterday, and the Qin Family is overwhelmed with their own issues. Why would they get engaged to your daughter?"
The big man revealed the reason for Qin Shijie’s absence as he spoke.
Mr. Mu took a deep breath, finding it hard to believe.
