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

Chapter 567 - 563 Released (First Batch)

With a command from Old Wang, two laborers subdued Xia Guagua.Xia Guagua’s expression changed completely.

"Uncle Wang, it was Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng who harmed me. Don’t believe them; they’re the ones who hurt Fugui brother..."

Even at this point, Xia Guagua refused to admit to his own actions and continued to argue.

"Enough, Xia Guagua, your petty schemes are well-known to Old Master Wang. Wang Fugui ending up like this is also your doing. If you feel wronged, take it up with the government!"

Mu Shuangshuang disliked Xia Guagua’s attitude of dragging others down even when facing doom and interrupted him.

"You... Mu Shuangshuang, you won’t die a good death. You will definitely face retribution." Xia Guagua’s eyes almost spewed fire; everything she suffered was thanks to Mu Shuangshuang.

"Xia Guagua, even at the end, you’re still stubborn! Without you, Wang Fugui wouldn’t be a vegetable lying on a bed, my parents wouldn’t be jailed in the county dungeon. You’re harming yourself and others and still blame others?"

If there weren’t so many people watching, Mu Shuangshuang would have slapped him twice without hesitation.

"Mu Shuangshuang, it’s all your fault; had it not been for you, would I be in this position? Had it not been for you framing me, would I have been caught with Wang Fugui? Would my mother have forced me to marry Wang Fugui?

I never liked Wang Fugui; he’s simply a scumbag. If he hadn’t tried to do shameless things to me, would I have hit him?

And you, Old Wang, you old bastard, don’t you know what kind of son you have? Raising him poorly is your fault; you’re simply unfit to be a father!"

Xia Guagua criticized everyone present, leaving Old Wang almost fuming with rage. Shen Rong finally reacted, pointed at one of the laborers.

"What are you standing there for? Stuff a cloth in her mouth and take her to the woodshed. Tomorrow, I’ll take her to the county to see the officials!"

The two laborers tied Xia Guagua up and took her to the woodshed, bringing some peace to the Old Wang Family.

"Shuang, I, the old man, am at fault here. I’ll prepare to withdraw the lawsuit tonight, and tomorrow I’ll go with you to the county to bring your parents back!"

Old Wang was nearly in tears; he always felt that Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang from the Third Branch of the Mu Family were not bad people.

But in the end, he listened to others and sent them to jail.

Regarding this matter, Mu Shuangshuang felt Old Wang was wrong but somewhat understandable.

However, whether to forgive or not wasn’t up to her; it was up to her parents.

"Master, give the withdrawal notice to Shen Rong; you’re too old to be traveling around, plus Wang Fugui needs care, and you can’t leave him."

Speaking of Wang Fugui, it leads to mentioning that miracle doctor, who was Mu Shuangshuang’s person, just played a role casually, and even those healed ailments were a collaboration with Old Wang.

It can be said that exposing Xia Guagua was aided by Old Wang, and Xia Guagua himself got confused. If someone was truly that capable, there wouldn’t be any difficult illnesses in the world.

Wang Fugui might be a vegetable all his life; during this era, there’s no glucose injection; everything must be forced through the throat. When Wang Fugui’s bodily functions can’t swallow anymore, he’ll turn from a vegetable to a corpse.

Xia Guagua said one thing right, raising a son poorly is the father’s fault. Old Wang, at this point, doesn’t blame others!

If he educated properly, Wang Fugui would be a good person like Old Wang, and such serious consequences wouldn’t happen.

After contemplating, Mu Shuangshuang exchanged a look with Lu Yuanfeng and walked to the front yard of the Old Wang Family.

They invited a few hoodlums for a meal; Mu Shuangshuang initially intended to give a tael of silver to the sharp-faced leader, but he refused.

They left Er Gui Village after noon!

Early the next morning, Mu Shuangshuang went to Old Wang Family, and upon arrival, heard Xia Guagua had escaped by opening the woodshed window the previous night.

Mu Shuangshuang was both angry and anxious, losing complete trust in Old Wang Family’s efficiency.

Shen Rong kept explaining beside her, promising to find her, but at this point, what use were words?

"Miss Shen, just ask you to withdraw the lawsuit today; regarding Xia Guagua, once my parents return, I’ll personally deal with her!"

Mu Shuangshuang was determined not to let that vile person go!

By noon, Mu Shuangshuang and Shen Rong’s group arrived in the county.

Once the withdrawal notice was filed, the County Magistrate interrogated and confirmed Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang committed no crime and released them.

It was already dusk by then, and rushing to Er Gui Village was impossible; horse carriages should not travel at night, not only because of uneven roads but also because an unexpected bump might cause a horrible accident.

After spending three nights in jail, there were some slight changes in Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang.

Mu Dashan was disheveled, with a dirty face, and his gray clothing turned black.

Yu Si Niang’s hair was loose, her skin color unrecognizable, and her apricot-colored dress became loose and bunched, like pickled vegetables taken from a jar.

However, because they had each other, mentally, they weren’t really hurt.

Six eyes met, Mu Shuangshuang, Mu Dashan, and Yu Si Niang looked at each other outside the county government office, and finally, Mu Shuangshuang rushed forward.

"Parents, you’ve been through hardships; Shuangshuang is late..."

As she spoke, Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes reddened; without the support of her parents, the bitterness in her heart was imaginable.

Yu Si Niang also began to cry, mother and daughter embraced each other, unable to control their tears.

Mu Dashan watched from the side, his eyes reddening too, but as a man, he couldn’t cry.

Old Wang watched the emotional scene, feeling increasingly guilty, knowing he could not disturb their reunion for the terrible things he had done.

"Uncle, it’s not your fault. Everyone in the village talked like that, and with your cousin really ending up like that, it was normal for you to feel strongly." Shen Rong consoled Old Wang.

But Old Wang did not agree.

"I had a selfish motive; initially felt that with Fugui’s tragedy, it’d be hard to bear without sharing the grief..."

Old Wang was now in tears, deeply regretting his actions.

If he hadn’t reported them, Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang from the Third Branch of the Mu Family wouldn’t have suffered needlessly. Ultimately, it was his fault.

"Ah..." Shen Rong sighed, finally saying nothing.

Lu Yuanfeng stood not far from Mu Shuangshuang and her family, not disturbing her reunion, but close enough to see Shuangshuang’s expressions.

Fortunately, this matter was finally over!

The Third Branch was safe now, and Shuangshuang shouldn’t have sleepless nights out of anxiety.

They talked through the wall for two nights; they didn’t talk last night because it was at his house, and he didn’t know when Shuangshuang fell asleep.

Overall, it must have been difficult!
