From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1013 - 1009: Stirring Up Trouble (Part 2)

Looking at the bamboo tubes scattered on the ground, Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang were both quite taken aback.

However, their daughter wasn’t angry, which was a relief for them.

"Made them into skewers, and later we’ll be threading some vegetables onto them. We’ll eat this tonight. Oh, Dad, remember to tell Luo Bai in the school that he should come over for dinner tonight!

Also, do keep an eye on the school for me. Recently, Fengzi and I might be busy helping our cousin with the pigsty matters."

Mu Shuangshuang did not forget to remind Mu Dashan.

As for the school, she had long stopped worrying about it, as Mu Dashan was more suitable and cared more about the children.

"Yes! Shuangshuang, about what happened earlier, what your grandfather said, don’t take it to heart. I’ve decided that our family won’t attend such family meetings anymore."

Mu Dashan expressed the thoughts he had buried for a long time.

"Dad, those meetings, we really can skip them. But I’m not angry. I know what kind of person my grandfather is, and there’s no need to be upset because of him."

Perhaps it was because she understood too well that Mu Shuangshuang thought what the Old Mu Family said was nonsense.

"That’s good... that’s good!" Mu Dashan looked relieved.

His daughter was truly not an ordinary person.

"Then I’ll head to the school now. If you’re not busy, take a break. The matters in town can wait."

"I see you and Fengzi are busy like spinning tops. If you don’t rest, what will you do if you get sick?" Mu Dashan said.

Mu Shuangshuang nodded.

"Thank you, Dad, I understand. Once I’ve finished the work at hand, I’ll rest for a couple of days with Fengzi."

Because Mr. Mu called her away, Mu Shuangshuang had to let Lu Yuanfeng go to Tie Dao Village to build the pig farm with Mu Dalang.

However, by now, they should have already started working.

Mu Shuangshuang was too lazy to go, so she decided to make some delicious food to reward them.

Mu Dashan went to the school, and Mu Shuangshuang, alone, took a kitchen knife and started working on the bamboo skewers with a series of cracks.

By the end of the morning, she had finished cutting a handful of bamboo skewers and started cooking.

For lunch, she didn’t plan to cook anything fancy, just braised fish, cured meat with dried bamboo shoots, egg soup, and two small green vegetable dishes.

At midday, Mu Shuangshuang made a few big steamed buns to fill the stomach. She planned to take them to Lu Yuanfeng so that Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Dalang could have their fill.

After placing her family’s meals in the iron pot, Mu Shuangshuang informed Yu Si Niang and took the lunch for three, heading to Tie Dao Village.

When Mu Shuangshuang went to Tie Dao Village, Mrs. Lin happened to be visiting the Sun family.

Mrs. Lin had timed her visit for lunch, thinking that if the matters between the two families were settled, Sun Dali’s mother would surely invite her to stay for a meal.

By then, she could act all grand, and have Sun Dali’s mother make something tasty for her.

Upon arriving at Sun Dali’s house,

Mrs. Lin didn’t forget to tidy up her clothes, ensuring she was neatly dressed before happily knocking on the Sun family’s courtyard door.

"Auntie, auntie, great news!"

Recalling the words Matchmaker Sun used when visiting other families, Mrs. Lin repeated them word for word.

But despite raising her voice and shouting for a while, there was no response.

Confused and somewhat uneasy, she boldly pushed open the Sun family’s door.

Before Mrs. Lin could speak, a basin of swill descended from above, dousing her head.

The sour, rancid smell mixed with an oily stench made Mrs. Lin nauseous, and she vomited on the spot.

She cursed loudly, "Whoever you are, which blind animal dumps swill carelessly—damn you, come out!"

Sun Dali’s mother appeared in front of Mrs. Lin, holding a dirty swill bucket.

She rolled her eyes at Mrs. Lin and said, "I thought it was a mad dog from some other household. Turns out it’s from the Old Mu Family. How’s the swill taste?"

Sun Dali’s mother was full of anger.

The grain in their home had been eaten halfway by that pig demon, Mu Xiangxiang, and it resulted in a stinking mess. And that old woman from the Old Mu Family even dared to lay hands on her.

Every time she thought about these things, Sun Dali’s mother wished she could skin those from the Old Mu Family alive.

If it weren’t for the Mu Family having Mu Dade’s scholar token, Sun Dali’s mother would have charged at them already.

"You..." Mrs. Lin was nearly furious to death.

But thinking of her purpose for coming, she gritted her teeth and decided to temporarily endure it.

"Auntie, there’s no need to get angry. You probably don’t know this yet—actually, Da Li and Xiangxiang are mutually in love. As elders, we should support the kids’ choices, right?"

Mrs. Lin forced a smile.

"Oh, what do you mean by that? Support, support what?" asked Sun Dali’s mother.

"Of course, support the two of them getting married! Isn’t Da Li strong? Our Xiangxiang is not bad either, and she’s my eldest brother’s only unmarried sister.

Whoever becomes our in-law will have countless benefits."

When Mrs. Lin said this, her chest was puffed out with pride.

She always felt that the conditions of the Old Mu Family were unmatched in the village.

At least, the Sun family ought to show some respect.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Sun Dali’s mother raised the swill bucket.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll bash you with this swill bucket."

"You go back and tell your mother, our Da Li would rather be a bachelor for life than take that mad woman Mu Xiangxiang."

"You tell them to take Mu Xiangxiang and die somewhere far away! If Mu Xiangxiang shows up at our Sun family again, I’ll chop that little witch with a stick!"

Mrs. Lin was scared half to death by the sight of Sun Dali’s mother. Struggling to escape, she tried to run, but soaked in swill, the ground was too slippery to get any traction.

In just a few steps, she tumbled to the ground.

Sun Dali’s mother’s swill bucket also came crashing down on Mrs. Lin’s head.

With a thud, it made Mrs. Lin see stars, and crying and shouting, she fled from the Sun family.

Returning in such a sorry state to the Old Mu Family, it naturally garnered a flurry of concern from the others there.

Mrs. Lin, deciding that she’s in too deep to back out now, completely tarnished the image of Sun Dali’s mother.

"Dad, you wouldn’t believe how awful that Sun Dali’s mother is.

When I got there, she immediately started beating me and drenched me with swill. I stink so bad right now.

And she even insulted my brother, saying he doesn’t deserve to be a scholar. She also said you’re bullying people because my brother’s a scholar and you’re tyrannizing Er Gui Village.

..."

With each word Mrs. Lin spoke, the faces of the Old Mu Family grew darker.

By the end, not only Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu were furious, but even Mu Dajiang from the fourth household thought Sun Dali’s mother was over the line.

Mrs. Lin ramped up her rhetoric and continued, "Mom, Sun Dali’s mother said Xiangxiang will never find someone to marry her, and even if she goes to the brothel, she’d be low-grade merchandise!"

Sun Dali’s mother never actually said this.

But in order to exact her revenge, Mrs. Lin didn’t mind leading Old Mrs. Mu to misunderstand.

Sure enough, upon hearing what Sun Dali’s mother supposedly said about Mu Xiangxiang,

Old Mrs. Mu could no longer hold back. She pushed Mrs. Lin aside, saying, "Qin Guihua, if I don’t teach you a lesson today, I’ll take your surname!"
