From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 837 - 833: Fengzi Told Me Everything (Second Update)
"I’ll go with you," said Huang Bita.
"Bita, you stay here with Third Uncle and Third Aunt. We don’t know what’s going on in the kitchen." Mu Da Lang shook his head, not allowing Huang Bita to go.
Yu Si Niang said, "Bita, listen to Da Lang, wait here. With so many of us, Da Lang and Shuangshuang won’t be at a disadvantage."
Only then did Huang Bita pull a smile toward everyone.
Mu Shuangshuang stood up and went to the kitchen with Mu Da Lang.
...
In the kitchen, Cao Miaomiao was sitting on Mrs. Lin, who was struggling beneath her, out of breath.
All she could do was plead for mercy.
Seeing Mu Shuangshuang, Mrs. Lin looked like she’d found a lifeline and shouted at Mu Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, quickly... quickly get this fat pig off me, it’s going to crush me."
Mrs. Lin kept calling her a fat pig, which made Cao Miaomiao’s face flush with anger. She slightly lifted her behind and applied more pressure.
This time, Mrs. Lin shouted even louder, "Oh my waist, hey, fat pig, get up... Someone’s going to die here...!"
Mrs. Lin had been dominant for half her life and rarely bowed to anyone except Old Mrs. Mu.
With the pain reaching this point, she was almost kneeling before Cao Miaomiao.
Mu Da Lang couldn’t bear it. He stepped forward, but before he could touch Cao Miaomiao’s hand, she shouted, "Someone help, he’s molesting me..."
"Old Mu Family’s grandson is molesting me!"
This dirty accusation made Mu Da Lang freeze, unable to take another step, only able to watch as Mrs. Lin was bullied.
"Shuangshuang, save me. I won’t bother the third branch anymore, won’t trouble you, alright?" Mrs. Lin said.
Mu Shuangshuang thoughtfully stroked her chin, speaking slowly, "I need to think about it."
"What is there to think about? While you’re thinking, I’m getting crushed to death by this fat hag. Did you know, this fat hag is Liu Zian’s fiancée, and aren’t you close with Liu Zian?
Do you want your good friend to marry such an unworthy and ungainly hag? With Liu Zian’s build, he’ll be squashed to death at night by this fat hag!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Mrs. Lin yelled loudly, not seeming pitiful at all, instead giving Mu Shuangshuang the impression that she was quite remarkable.
"Second Aunt, your attitude is bad, Shuangshuang doesn’t want to save you!"
"You..." Mrs. Lin was exasperated, but realizing her situation, she could only bow her head further.
"Shuangshuang, tell me what to do, and I’ll do it, just save me!"
Mrs. Lin squeezed out two crocodile tears, sounding pitiful, "I’m going to be killed by this fat hag."
As Mrs. Lin spoke, Cao Miaomiao’s behind kept shifting around her waist, like clothes being rubbed on a washboard.
"I’m not asking much, just clean the kitchen for me afterward. I don’t want my mom to clean up after you all the time," Mu Shuangshuang said.
Mrs. Lin nodded vigorously.
Just then, Mu Shuangshuang swiftly stepped forward and kicked Cao Miaomiao’s hefty body.
Cao Miaomiao toppled over, letting out a series of pig-like squeals.
Mrs. Lin seized the chance to scramble up from the ground.
She hid behind Mu Da Lang.
"Da Lang, beat her to death, beat this little slut, this tramp!"
Mu Da Lang stood frozen, unable to bring himself to hit a woman.
"Da Lang, why are you hesitating? Are you not listening to your mother?" Mrs. Lin yelled at Mu Da Lang.
"Mom, I won’t hit women. If you want to hit, do it yourself!" Mu Da Lang replied.
"You heartless child, you..."
Mrs. Lin still wanted to curse, but Mu Shuangshuang intervened, "Second Aunt, if you don’t prepare lunch soon, Grandma will definitely flay you alive."
On hearing this, Mrs. Lin’s face instantly turned pale.
But Cao Miaomiao was still in the kitchen, contemplating how to settle the matter when Mu Shuangshuang stepped forward, grabbing Cao Miaomiao and tossing her out like a chick.
With a loud "bang," a cloud of dust rose in the third branch’s yard as Cao Miaomiao wailed endlessly.
"Second Aunt, I’ve cleaned the kitchen for you, so when my big aunt comes later, explain yourself, and by the way, tidy up our kitchen!"
In the kitchen, Mrs. Lin continued busying herself with lunch, clattering around as if there was something major happening.
Once lunch was ready, she called Old Mu Family’s daughters to serve the meal.
The meal felt like a battle.
She even had to deal with Mu Xianxian’s questioning.
Finally, Old Mu Family’s lunch was over.
Meanwhile, everyone from the third branch had gone back to work, leaving Mu Shuangshuang happily busying herself with washing bedcovers and dirty clothes in the yard.
Just finishing a tub of laundry, preparing to go to the village creek to rinse it, she ran into Liu Zian coming toward her family.
After not seeing each other for a while, Liu Zian’s face hadn’t improved, looking thinner.
He immediately apologized to Mu Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, I’m sorry, about that incident... I wrongly accused you!"
It was all thanks to Lu Yuanfeng, who didn’t want Shuangshuang to be misunderstood, and personally went to explain to Liu Zian.
He recounted all that Song Family said when they came causing trouble, even the parts where things got physical.
Liu Zian realized how badly he had treated her.
Originally, Liu Zian hadn’t truly believed that Shuangshuang had hit his mother.
He just thought that if Shuangshuang apologized, his mother wouldn’t blame her, and then he’d still have a chance with Shuangshuang.
"You wronged me? Not really, right! I’m Mu Shuangshuang: straightforward and blunt. If I dislike someone, I hit them, no need to consider anyone’s opinion." Mu Shuangshuang lowered her eyes, looked at her feet, and spoke indifferently.
"Shuangshuang, don’t lie to me. I know, I know everything! Fengzi told me."
Liu Zian’s words shocked Mu Shuangshuang.
These days, Lu Yuanfeng spent every day with her, except at night after dinner.
If he went to Liu Family Village, it had to be after dinner, at night?
This silly boy must be crazy!
Da Ning Dynasty’s winter was especially cold, with the piercing wind.
Especially at night, even indoors, you could hear the cold wind howling.
That silly boy actually went out at night to explain something she didn’t even care about.
"Even if he told you, what of it? I owe nothing to you or your mom." Mu Shuangshuang sneered, sounding somewhat resentful.
