From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1012 - 1008: Driven Out (Part 1)

"Guarantee? Lin Xiaozao, tell me, what kind of guarantee do you want?"

Old Mrs. Mu forced herself to suppress her anger, gritting her teeth, she smiled while asking Mrs. Lin.

Initially, Mrs. Lin was nervous when setting terms, but hearing Old Mrs. Mu’s words, she felt she might have a chance.

"Mother, I don’t have much in the way of demands. Xiangxiang is getting married soon, and after that, our family will have quite a few fewer mouths to feed.

So, can the family life be improved a bit? Although Gou Dan is young and doesn’t eat much, he’s at the age when he’s growing.

We should have a bit of meat and fat in our meals, or else that kid will grow up eating just bran and vegetables, looking like a bean sprout. How can such a frail body study and become a scholar or Champion Scholar like his uncle?"

Mrs. Lin dared not ask Old Mrs. Mu for money since she knew that stingy woman would never agree.

Asking for money was like asking for her life.

However, asking for some good food, improving the meals, and having a feast occasionally shouldn’t be a problem.

Old Mrs. Mu turned green upon hearing Mrs. Lin’s words, just as she was about to scold her, Mr. Mu beat her to it and spoke up.

"Second daughter-in-law, if you manage this well, we’ll go to Shuangshuang Restaurant for a good meal to reward you, and in the future, we’ll also make the family’s meals better."

After saying this, he turned to Mu Dashan and said, "Third son, regarding Xiangxiang’s matter, you and Si Niang haven’t given much input, if your second sister-in-law resolves this, we’ll go to your restaurant for a meal to reward her.

Remember to have the staff at the restaurant arrange it, and as for the food, keep it simple, like the dishes we had last time in the private room.

Moreover, in the same private room, the environment is good, and our Old Mu Family has many people, so inside, we won’t be disturbed."

Mr. Mu adeptly extended his reach into Mu Shuangshuang’s restaurant.

Clearly, it was taking advantage of someone, but he spoke of it as if it were a simple matter.

It’s not just about eating, but eating signature dishes and booking a private room.

It’s about taking every advantage possible.

Mu Dashan was stunned; for his father’s request, his immediate reaction was to look at Mu Shuangshuang, hoping to discern something from Shuangshuang’s expression, be it agreement or disagreement.

Mu Dashan never engaged in the operation of the restaurant.

Moreover, when it first opened, he didn’t contribute a penny, so he has no say in it, making him unable to agree directly to Mr. Mu’s request.

"Dad..." Mu Dashan was very troubled, his face reddened.

"What’s wrong? Are you unwilling?" Mr. Mu’s face darkened as he looked at Mu Dashan, displeased.

"I... I..." Mu Dashan became even more nervous.

Mu Shuangshuang, not wanting her father to be in a bind, hurriedly spoke up: "Grandfather, what are you saying, if you and uncles and aunts come to our restaurant, we’d be happy to have your business.

Please be assured, I will definitely tell the staff at the restaurant that if you come, they should give a discount and make it cheaper for you!"

Upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words, Mr. Mu knew that Mu Shuangshuang meant to charge him money, causing his face to go from black to white.

He immediately felt that Mu Shuangshuang was too astute.

Wanting a good meal at her restaurant, she purposely talked about giving discounts, instead of letting the family eat for free.

Does it make sense to pay when family comes to eat?

"Shuang girl, don’t give me that tricky talk! I am your grandfather, and those here are all your elders, going for a meal, even if it’s not free, what’s wrong with that?"

Mr. Mu spoke with righteousness.

It was as if eating free at Mu Shuangshuang’s restaurant was a glorious thing.

"I just knew this little ingrate was heartless, listen to her own words, listen!"

Old Mrs. Mu chimed in, but was ignored by Mu Shuangshuang.

"Grandfather, without rules, there’s no order; the restaurant operates in town with its own way. If today a relative goes for free, tomorrow another does the same, soon enough the restaurant won’t need to run, might as well close it down!" Mu Shuangshuang, equally unreserved, retorted back.

Mr. Mu truly went overboard.

Back when the family was divided, to avoid giving the third branch any land, he clearly stated not to take anything from them, saying all her earnings were hers.

Now seeing the third branch having a better life, he tries various ways to take advantage of them.

Today it’s about eating at the restaurant, tomorrow it’s asking if there are any leftover roast chicken or duck.

All he thinks about is how to move the third branch’s belongings to the Old Mu Family.

"You... you get out of here!" Mr. Mu stomped his foot in anger.

"Grandfather, you said it, no need to call me, the child, to future family meetings, kids speak without restraint, I wouldn’t know what I’d say."

Mu Shuangshuang smiled at Mr. Mu and walked out of the Old Mu Family’s main house.

If it wasn’t for her grandfather insisting on her presence, she wouldn’t want to attend these family meetings.

It’s always about these trivial, selfish matters.

After the daughter left, Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang didn’t want to stay much longer. They glanced at each other, Mu Dashan said, "Father, there are things to do at home, Si Niang and I will head back first."

Yu Si Niang also said: "Father, we’ll head back first!"

The couple didn’t linger, and left the Old Mu Family’s main house after speaking.

Mr. Mu took a drag of his dry tobacco, but the puff was stuck in his chest.

Old Mrs. Mu spat bitterly on the ground, cursing, "Bah! Little bitch, so shameless at a young age, who knows what she’ll do in the future.

It’s all Yu Si Niang’s fault, didn’t dare to leave this scourge back then, only thinks of giving us Old Mu Family a hard time, don’t know who she takes after!"

Old Mrs. Mu cursed terribly, making Mr. Mu very irritable.

He constantly felt his authority couldn’t be exercised with the third branch.

A breath in his heart clogged up his chest, unable to swallow or spit out.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Lin squinted, thinking, she decided to visit Sun Dali’s place first.

-

Mu Shuangshuang returned to the third branch without being affected by the Old Mu Family incident, instead focused on researching new things in the kitchen.

Recently, the restaurant’s operation, the menus mostly featured fixed dishes, generally cooking stir-fries and meals.

Some snacks she always wanted to make, like burgers, soaked buns, and fried chicken, haven’t been introduced yet.

If feasible, the restaurant won’t serve main meals at night, just these snacks, then the income wouldn’t decrease, and the restaurant staff wouldn’t be so tired.

Everyone could rotate shifts.

When Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang entered the house, Mu Shuangshuang was chopping bamboo sticks with a cleaver, tools for making skewers, planning to let the family taste them in the evening.

"Shuangshuang, what are you doing there?"
