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

Chapter 585 - 581 Not Bothering With You (Third Update)

"You dog of a thing, how dare you waste food, I’ll kill you!"Old Mrs. Mu grabbed Gou Dan’s clothes, letting her hand relentlessly spank his backside.

Gou Dan let out a loud "waa," screaming in agony.

In the main room, the sound of clattering was endless, and the entire room seemed like a slaughterhouse.

People from the big house turned their heads in disdain, with no intention of helping.

Mu Xianxian was even less likely to intervene; once a daughter is married off, she’s like water spilled, dead or maimed, that’s still the matter of the Old Mu Family.

Only Mu Xiangxiang was the most agitated, having lost the chicken leg, she was the one who suffered; if she couldn’t get back at him, she wouldn’t be able to swallow her anger.

Moreover, her head was filled with the smell of chicken leg, disgusted to death.

"Mom, beat Gou Dan to death, let him rob things from me, beat him to death!"

With Mu Xiangxiang’s words, Old Mrs. Mu hit even harder.

"You dead thing, you dare to snatch your aunt’s chicken leg, today we’ll break your hands and feet, greedy for food, keep eating, why don’t you just die?"

Various unpleasant words spilled out, seven-year-old Gou Dan was beaten until his face was filled with tears and snot.

On the side, Mrs. Lin finished the last chicken leg, licked away the residue on her hand, then rushed forward to protect her child.

"Mom, what are you doing? It’s just a chicken leg, Gou Dan is your eldest grandson, not an outsider!"

Mrs. Lin spoke as if it were only natural, yet she ignored how long Old Mrs. Mu had endured her.

"You rotten woman, always acting up, today I’ll beat you to death!"

Old Mrs. Mu cursed, then suddenly jumped up, landing two slaps on Mrs. Lin’s face.

Old Mrs. Mu’s slaps were heavy, and Mrs. Lin was bleeding from her nose, feeling dizzy.

Mu Dazhong, who had been watching the commotion, stood up and supported Mrs. Lin.

"Mom, what are you doing? Gou Dan’s mother is your daughter-in-law, how can you hit her like this? She’s also pregnant!"

As a man, Mu Dazhong didn’t step in immediately because he wanted to see if his elder brother would handle the matter, and if he did, Mu Dazhong would take the opportunity to please him.

Mu Dazhong had no idea that the big house didn’t care at all.

"Don’t bring up the child with me, our Old Mu Family doesn’t lack a grandson like this!"

Old Mrs. Mu’s words were indeed hurtful.

Not just the second branch was shocked, even the third and fourth were too.

"Enough, what are you arguing about, won’t you let the eldest and Xianxian eat? This family will sooner or later be torn apart by you!" Mr. Mu shouted sternly.

The few people quieted down a bit, but Old Mrs. Mu still glared fiercely at Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin became resolute, and towards the nearby wall, exclaimed: "Oh dear, I won’t live anymore, nobody wants the child in my belly anyway, I might as well die, it’s two deaths for one corpse..."

Mrs. Lin’s cries were so miserable that Mr. Mu thought she was truly going to die.

He quickly said: "Why are you all just standing there, stop her!"

Only then did the few people rush to hold Mrs. Lin back.

Old Man Mu turned around and sternly rebuked Old Mrs. Mu: "It’s all your doing, they are seeking death, aren’t you ashamed, to disparage your own daughter-in-law and grandson like this!"

"Why should I be ashamed? Isn’t it this woman who is greedy, ate two chicken legs herself, causing Xiangxiang not to eat, is why I said her?"

Old Mrs. Mu was dissatisfied with Mr. Mu rebuking her, and even more dissatisfied with Mr. Mu taking Mrs. Lin seriously in front of the whole family.

Inside Old Mrs. Mu’s heart, a daughter-in-law is just a daughter-in-law.

It’s rightful for a mother-in-law to scold her daughter-in-law, even a father-in-law doesn’t have the right to intervene!

"Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang, this girl all day long, she’s nothing but trouble, tomorrow have Matchmaker Sun find a family to marry her off, save her from wrecking the household!"

Mr. Mu said angrily.

Mu Xiangxiang heard the words like a slap to her face.

"Dad, this is all the second sister-in-law’s trouble, what does it have to do with me? I haven’t eaten anything!"

"What does it have to do with you, why don’t you say, what time do you get up every day? You tell me, have you washed half a piece of cloth at home? You tell me if you know when to light the stove in the kitchen?

You’re a girl at home, can’t do anything right, can’t leave anything to eat, and you don’t gain weight either, who do you think is raising you?"

Speaking of Mu Xiangxiang, she really is at a champion level of appetite.

Others eat one or two bowls at a meal, she eats seven or eight, and when there’s good food, it’s not unheard of for her to eat ten bowls, yet she doesn’t seem to gain weight; Mu Shuangshuang never knew why.

But looking at Mu Xiangxiang’s big head and small body, she didn’t seem like a healthy person.

It wasn’t worth boasting.

Mu Xiangxiang turned red from the scolding, she slammed her legs on the ground, shouting at Mr. Mu: "Fine, I won’t eat, I won’t eat your food anymore!"

After speaking, Mu Xiangxiang dashed outside.

Old Mrs. Mu panicked: "Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang..."

Old Mrs. Mu chased after her, the rest of the Old Mu Family looked at each other, unsure of what to do!

"Dad, we..." Mu Danian asked.

"Eat, let’s eat, second daughter-in-law, you have a child in your belly, eat more, and Gou Dan, stop crying, if they want to leave, let them leave!"

Mr. Mu’s words set the tone for the situation.

In fact, everyone was secretly happy inside.

A meal, finally without Old Mrs. Mu and Mu Xiangxiang, if they didn’t eat to their heart’s content, they’d be letting themselves down.

Mu Shuangshuang’s chicken leg was kept intact.

Now the no longer crying Gou Dan was staring at her bowl fiercely.

She glared at Gou Dan fiercely.

Gou Dan immediately shrank into a ball in fear.

"Little Zhi, you and brother Xiao Han each take a side!"

Mu Shuangshuang used chopsticks to divide the chicken leg’s meat into two portions, and placed them in Little Zhi and Xiao Han’s bowls.

The two little ones shook their heads desperately.

"Sister, we don’t want it, you eat it yourself!"

"Good, eat the chicken leg to grow tall, don’t you want to eat more to get bigger and protect sister?" Mu Shuangshuang lied, looking serious.

The two kids tilted their heads to think, then grabbed the chicken in their bowls and took a big bite, eating continuously.

Opposite Mu Shuangshuang, Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying glared at Mu Shuangshuang, angrily saying: "Country people are just country people, even a chicken leg can cause such a fuss, bumpkin!"

"Indeed, they probably don’t even realize how disdainful their behavior is, right?" Mu Yingying echoed.

Mu Dalang turned red with anger.

"Dan Dan sister, Ying Ying sister, watch what you say, isn’t it because you’re daughters of a scholar, your words and actions represent uncle!"

"Cousin, we’re all cousins, why are you only helping this stinky girl?" Mu Dandan voiced her displeasure.

"Why am I only helping Shuangshuang? It’s you who were rude first, who else is to blame?"

Mu Shuangshuang heard the three argue, but didn’t step in to stop it, instead gave Mu Dalang a piece of braised pork.

"Brother Da Lang, don’t bother with ignorant fools in human skin, let’s eat!"
