From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 555 - 551: Shuangshuang Wants to Stir Things Up (2nd Update)

"But..." Mu Qingqing glanced at Mrs. Lin.At this moment, Mrs. Lin’s mouth was awash with juice, clearly with no intention of managing the two kids.

Moreover, those winter dates were getting fewer; at this rate, they’d soon be gone.

"No buts! You don’t even live in our room, so hurry up and scram, scram, scram~" Mu Dazhong rudely started chasing her away.

Despite her pride, Mu Qingqing turned around and rushed out of the second room.

She happened to run into Mu Dalang coming back.

Mu Qingqing immediately felt extremely aggrieved.

"Big brother, you’re back!" Mu Qingqing said softly.

Only then did Mu Dalang realize that it was his sister Mu Qingqing who had stopped him.

"What’s wrong? It’s so late, why aren’t you asleep yet? How’s little sister?"

Mu Qingqing has moved to the east wing now, quite close to Mu Xiangxiang, so Mu Dalang naturally asked about Mu Xiangxiang.

"Little sister and Grandma are hiding in their rooms eating good stuff."

Similar to the second room, recently Old Mrs. Mu had been bringing all sorts of good things home, anyway, all under Mu Dade’s promises.

She planned to move to town later, making such empty promises, with no intentions to fulfill them.

All she wanted was to enjoy now.

Mu Qingqing’s words naturally meant to complain that Old Mrs. Mu gave all the good stuff to Mu Xiangxiang.

But wasn’t this known long ago to everyone?

Mu Dalang didn’t know where to start comforting her, so he just told Mu Qingqing to go back and rest.

Just as he opened his mouth, Mu Qingqing said again, "Big brother, are you with the people from the third branch? Please don’t hang out with them, especially not that awful girl, she has it in for me, she even hit me..."

Though Mu Dalang had been back for quite a while, Mu Qingqing hadn’t had the chance to pour out her grievances to him.

This time, she told Mu Dalang everything, hoping he would comfort her or stop interacting with the people from the third branch.

Who knew, Mu Dalang actually defended the third branch.

"Qingqing, you’re not that young anymore, don’t keep those unpleasant words on your lips, besides, who I associate with is my right, you may not like it, but you can’t stop me!"

"Alright then, it’s getting late, if you don’t go back soon, Grandma will scold you again when she finds out!"

After speaking, Mu Dalang walked towards his room.

Mu Qingqing watched Mu Dalang’s back angrily kicked the stone underfoot, then stormed off towards the wing room.

...

...

Mu Shuangshuang returned home and had some late-night snacks made by Yu Si Niang.

A small plate of rice tofu.

Rice tofu looked similar to tofu, but the ingredients and color were completely different. Moreover, Mu Shuangshuang actually preferred rice tofu.

The tofu-making process involves coagulants, but rice tofu is much simpler; soaked rice paste is continuously stirred to reach the desired thickness, then poured into molds, cooled, and cut into squares.

An unbelievably simple method.

Yu Si Niang accompanied Mu Shuangshuang while she finished the night snack, then prepared water for Mu Shuangshuang to wash up, and after Mu Shuangshuang finished washing, she entered Mu Shuangshuang’s room.

And started chatting with Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang talked about Xiuxiu having a baby today and Aunt Ge’s behavior.

Who knew, this matter actually triggered Yu Si Niang’s memories.

She said, "Back then when I gave birth to you, your second aunt had already had Da Lang for several years, not to mention your eldest uncle’s house. Although your eldest uncle had two daughters, your grandma liked your eldest uncle, so she said nothing."

"But mom indeed felt the difference, the midwife said it was a girl, your grandma didn’t even look at you, she didn’t even send your second aunt over to help with the laundry."

"Luckily, it was summer when I gave birth to you, otherwise, doing laundry and bedding would really have left some illness."

In Er Gui Village, women who actually observed confinement were rare.

Many women gave birth in the morning and were back in the fields by afternoon.

But everyone knew to avoid cold water, for the aftermath could be harmful to one’s body.

Originally, these were mother-in-law’s duties, Old Mrs. Mu just needed to arrange them, but because it was a girl, she didn’t even bother.

At that time, it wasn’t Mrs. Jin who was called the hen that wouldn’t lay eggs, it was Yu Si Niang.

For three days after Shuangshuang was born, there was no nutrition to help with milk production, Mu Dashan begged Old Mrs. Mu to cook a few eggs.

Not only did Old Mrs. Mu refuse to cook them, she also sold all the eggs at night.

Luckily, the next day someone from Yu Family Village came, Old Mrs. Yu helped Yu Si Niang with laundry, and busied herself with washing Shuangshuang’s diapers.

Busy the whole day, she didn’t even get a bite to eat.

When leaving, she made a pot of nourishing chicken for her daughter, who knew, as soon as she left, Old Mrs. Mu entered the third branch’s room and gave the chicken soup to Mu Dade to nourish him.

With each of these incidents Yu Si Niang mentioned, she made herself feel cold-hearted.

Mu Shuangshuang’s face changed even more listening to it.

Almost being enraged to the point of spitting blood by Old Mrs. Mu’s actions.

This was no grandmother, she was clearly the Sect Hierarch of the Five Poison Sect, specializing in draining people’s blood!

"Mom, thank goodness our family is separated now, no need to put up with Grandma’s moods, from now on, whatever you want to eat or buy, just tell Shuangshuang, no matter if it flies in the sky or swims in the water, no matter how many silver it costs, Shuangshuang will get it for you!"

A wave of comfort surged through Yu Si Niang.

She lovingly patted Mu Shuangshuang’s head, "Mom doesn’t expect you to give me much, as long as you’re doing well, all those materials, to me, are just external things, pales in comparison to your well-being."

"Also, mom saying these things is not to make you hold grudges, because mom knows, hatred brings only pain, and mom doesn’t want you to suffer."

"Mom, I understand, Shuangshuang will remember what you’ve said!" Mu Shuangshuang nodded.

"That’s good, take care of your friend, if she lacks nursing things, we’ll buy some, having gone through this myself, I know how hard it is without family support."

Whenever Yu Si Niang thought of her past self, she felt a shiver in her heart.

She didn’t wish for others to share her fate.

Having a son is certainly important, but it can’t compare to a woman daring to bear children for a man.

Mu Shuangshuang remembered everything Yu Si Niang said in her heart, after Yu Si Niang returned to her room, Mu Shuangshuang found herself unable to sleep.

She got up, dressed, and picked up Little Black from the foot of the bed.

On a dark and windy night, it was the perfect time for action.

With Little Black gallantly leading the way, she headed towards the Old Mu Family’s house.

Eavesdropping wasn’t Mu Shuangshuang’s intention, but tonight, Old Mrs. Mu truly disgusted her.

If she didn’t settle this score, she couldn’t sleep.

Inside Old Mrs. Mu’s room—

Old Mrs. Mu was busy counting her income from the past few days.

Dozens of copper coins were arranged in a line on the kang table, looking quite impressive.

Counting them again and again, Old Mrs. Mu nudged Mr. Mu with her elbow.

"Do you think those little brats know that my money is hidden in these jars?"
