From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 800 - 796: Don’t Ask Around (First Update)
As soon as Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, she added two more slaps to Aunt Zhang’s face.
The women in the village watching the spectacle were all stunned, each with wide eyes, staring at Mu Shuangshuang as if they’d never seen her before.
Most of the young women in the village are honest. Although they don’t always stay inside, none have been as violent as Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang slapped a few times, then said to Yu Si Niang, "Mother, lend me your shoes!"
Yu Si Niang, still sobbing, had not stopped her tears but didn’t think much when Mu Shuangshuang spoke. She just took off her shoes as instructed.
Mu Shuangshuang took the shoes Yu Si Niang handed over and fiercely slapped Aunt Zhang’s face with them.
The sound of slapping rang out, and Aunt Zhang alternated between crying and screaming.
"Oh my, you’ve all seen it. This stinky girl is hitting me... Yu Si Niang, how are you raising your daughter, Yu Si Niang..."
The more Aunt Zhang screamed, the more vigorously Mu Shuangshuang slapped, moving from the face to directly slapping the mouth.
The thick-soled shoes of a peasant household hurt intensely when hitting the face. Half of Aunt Zhang’s face was slapped crooked, yet Mu Shuangshuang showed no mercy.
Initially, Aunt Zhang cursed loudly, calling her all sorts of disgraceful names, enjoying the cursing. But gradually, the pain was too much, and she had no strength left to curse.
The village women didn’t dare to approach, each looking at Mu Shuangshuang as if she was a plague, retreating repeatedly.
Mu Shuangshuang took in the crowd’s reaction, her face full of dominance as she said, "Listen well, everyone. I, Mu Shuangshuang, have no connection with this woman from another village. I don’t even know where she’s from.
As for her claims that I seduced her son, I suggest she look at her reflection in a puddle of piss. Stop throwing mud on others at every turn!"
Some village women, emboldened by these words, asked, "If it’s this woman’s fault, why are you hitting Ma Houhou’s mother?"
"Why? Because she cursed me without discrimination! I’m an unmarried girl being cursed like this. Shouldn’t I retaliate?
In other words, if she had said this about your daughter, would you still greet her with a smile? If you want respect from others, you must first respect them.
This world isn’t full of fools who turn the other cheek after being hit!"
Mu Shuangshuang’s words left the talkative woman red-faced, stepping aside and swearing not to say another word.
The observing Song Family member, seeing the situation, began to feel intimidated. She only intended to see what Mu Shuangshuang looked like while tarnishing her reputation.
Now, seeing Mu Shuangshuang’s violence and irrationality, the Song Family decided it was best to leave.
Seizing the moment when others weren’t paying attention, the Song Family stepped back two paces. Her wrist suddenly felt heavier, and she saw a young man grabbing it.
The young man was tall, his dark brows tightly furrowed, seemingly displeased.
Before the Song Family could speak, the young man said, "Aunt, since you’ve come to stir trouble and ruin Shuangshuang’s name, how can you walk away so easily?"
Lu Yuanfeng spoke few words, but his meaning was clear. The Song Family insulting Shuangshuang and then leaving, letting the village misunderstand Shuangshuang, was not acceptable!
"Young man, who are you to speak here?"
The Song Family wasn’t easy to deal with either. Even when grabbed by Lu Yuanfeng, she remained unflustered.
"I am..."
"He is my fiancé, fully representing my intentions! Madam, you surely know your family’s situation, right?
I, Mu Shuangshuang, earn my own money and don’t need to rely on a scholar who can’t even afford his own travel expenses! If anything, your family, Liu Zian, owes me a favor!"
Initially, it was Mu Shuangshuang who came up with the idea to sell fans for Liu Zian’s travel funds, cobbling together six taels, giving Liu Zian the opportunity to take the scholar’s exam.
She didn’t expect Liu Zian’s family to be grateful, but she wouldn’t forgive them for slandering her like Liu Zian’s mother.
"Don’t talk nonsense. My Zian earned his travel expenses by himself! Just because you sold a few fans and flapped your tongue, you think the credit is yours? Don’t forget, the paintings on the fans were drawn by my Zian.
Now, his paintings can sell for ten taels each. You think saying Zian owes you a favor makes it true?" The Song Family looked proud; her son had become a golden phoenix, and no one could defame him.
"Ha! You said it’s now. Before he passed the exam, your son’s fans were worth at most five coins apiece, and that’s if someone even bought them!" Mu Shuangshuang sneered coldly.
"Nonsense, you little vixen. You dare insult my son, I’ll fight you!"
The Song Family stomped on Lu Yuanfeng’s foot. As Lu Yuanfeng winced in pain, the Song Family charged at Mu Shuangshuang, intent on taking her life.
Mu Shuangshuang dodged, and without a target, the Song Family couldn’t stop herself and fell face-first into the dirt!
The Song Family winced in pain.
Aunt Zhang, lying on the ground, somehow mustered the strength to get up and kicked the Song Family fiercely in the face.
"You old hag, miserable woman, spreading baseless rumors in our village and causing me to get beaten. Now I’ll let you experience what it’s like to be beaten!"
Aunt Zhang vented all her pent-up anger on the Song Family.
Although the Song Family usually did some farm work, she couldn’t compare to Aunt Zhang, who could even do her own dung carrying.
In front of Aunt Zhang, the Song Family could only take the beating.
Mu Shuangshuang went forward and helped Mu Xiaohan up from the ground.
"Mother, you go ask Grandpa Zhang now, and I’ll carry Xiaohan back!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
When Mu Xiaohan fell, Mu Shuangshuang saw, and it seemed she hadn’t hit anywhere seriously. Why she fainted would have to be determined by Zhang Huai Shu.
"Shuangshuang, let me go! I’m quicker on my feet. Don’t concern yourself with this matter anymore. I’ll send Liu Zian’s mother back and ask him for a solution."
Lu Yuanfeng knew that although Liu Zian’s mother was excessive, Shuangshuang couldn’t treat her like Aunt Zhang. The only solution was to take her back and find Liu Zian!
"Fengzi, forget it. Don’t involve yourself with that woman. If Liu Zian truly views me as a friend, he’ll clarify this matter. If not, no amount of talk will help. Just call Grandpa Zhang, then come back for dinner!"
"Alright! Then I’m off!"
They tacitly ignored how badly Aunt Zhang was beating the Song Family, and each hurried off to their respective tasks.
After exhausting herself from beating, Aunt Zhang got up from the ground and went home!
