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

Chapter 594 - 590: Beat to Death Without Letting Go (Fourth Update)

A mud-legged one from the third branch definitely can’t afford to offend her.If they dare offend her, she’ll accuse them of the grave crime of disrespect!

Just thinking about it makes Mrs. Lin feel like her tail is wagging to the sky.

She imagined the third branch bowing low and begging for mercy before her, and unconsciously, she laughed out loud.

Mu Shuangshuang felt like she’d encountered a lunatic, laughing at her early in the morning.

But what really disgusted her was Mrs. Lin’s black, unwashed hand after the toilet.

If that thing touches her rice noodles, one batch would be ruined.

"Shuang, what are you making? It smells so good! Quick, let your second aunt taste it!"

As Mrs. Lin spoke, her hand landed on one of the rice noodles.

A black handprint marked the rice noodle, and Mu Shuangshuang was fuming with rage.

"Second aunt, why are you touching my rice noodles with your dirty hands?"

"Shuang, listen to yourself, your second aunt and you are family. Not to mention touching this, even if I wanted to eat it, you should give it to me!"

Mrs. Lin, leveraging her "status," arrogantly confronted Mu Shuangshuang.

"Second aunt, did you eat garlic this morning? Your breath is so strong. I neither owe you nor am I a fool at your disposal. You say eat rice noodles, and I should give you some? Then I wouldn’t be in business anymore?" Mu Shuangshuang said with a frosty face and cold eyes.

"Hmph, you stubborn girl, let me tell you, you’re the one in the mud now, while I’m the scholar’s sister-in-law, protected by the government. Even an official can’t do anything to me!"

Mu Shuangshuang found Mrs. Lin’s words childish and amusing.

Sister-in-law of a scholar, protected by the government, why doesn’t she claim to be the emperor?

Does she think I’m stupid? So easy to fool?

"Second aunt, if you want to dream, go home and do it. Don’t make grand dreams in the third branch; I don’t have time to play along with your act!"

"You... you..." Mrs. Lin was so angry her face turned green, pointing at Mu Shuangshuang shouting relentlessly.

But nothing came out from her for quite a while.

"What about me? If you don’t leave, I’ll whack you with a broom!" Mu Shuangshuang picked up a broom from the ground and brandished it at Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin ran away in fright.

Only then did Mu Shuangshuang return to making rice noodles.

She didn’t know that as soon as she turned around and went into the kitchen, Mrs. Lin, who had run away, came back.

She was so desperate to eat the rice noodles drying on the bamboo pole that, if the third branch’s stinky girl wouldn’t give her, she’d steal them!

Mu Shuangshuang was busy in the kitchen when suddenly a whimpering bark from Little Black Dog echoed in the courtyard, followed by Mrs. Lin’s cursing.

"Damn thing, dare to bite my pant leg, I’ll chop you into pieces!"

Mu Shuangshuang threw down what she was holding, picked up the broom from the ground, and lunged at Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin was too focused on getting Little Black Dog to let go of her pant leg to notice Mu Shuangshuang coming from behind.

Mu Shuangshuang swung the broom onto Mrs. Lin’s back, causing her to yelp in pain.

"Ouch, oh my mother, it hurts so much..."

Mrs. Lin’s screams were like a pig being slaughtered, while Mu Shuangshuang relentlessly hammered her back with the broom.

Smashing so hard that Mrs. Lin jumped up in pain, yet she clung tightly to a few rice noodles.

One dropped, and Mrs. Lin looked heartbroken, wanting to pick it up, but the pain from Mu Shuangshuang’s beating made her focus on running instead.

Chasing Mrs. Lin all the way to the Old Mu Family, Mu Shuangshuang finally stopped.

She put down the broom and returned to the kitchen.

Lu Yuanfeng had been kept busy in the kitchen. Despite the commotion, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t let Lu Yuanfeng help. Seeing her return, Lu Yuanfeng was anxious.

"Did you get hurt? Your second aunt isn’t easy to deal with." Lu Yuanfeng hurriedly took Mu Shuangshuang’s hand, checking back and forth.

"I’m fine. I beat up my second aunt, I doubt she’ll dare next time!"

Beating Mrs. Lin, Mu Shuangshuang thought of how it was usually done sneakily, yet this time it was done openly, perhaps for the first time.

Serves her right for grabbing things arbitrarily with her long hands!

Lu Yuanfeng felt relieved and, coupled with Shuangshuang’s actions, was quite amused for a while.

Old Mu Family

Mrs. Lin’s crisis was resolved; she didn’t even mind her burning back.

She grabbed a piece of rice noodle and stuffed it into her mouth.

The rice noodles, without any added ingredients, had a good texture but were tasteless.

Yet Mrs. Lin still ate them with great enjoyment.

There’s no denying it, things stolen from the third branch taste better than other things.

Mrs. Lin finished one piece and was about to eat another when Old Mrs. Mu appeared.

"Second daughter-in-law, are you here to let maggots grow? Did you muck out the pigpen? Was Dog Egg’s aunt’s clothes washed?"

In fact, Old Mrs. Mu had long assigned those tasks to Mrs. Liu of the fourth branch, but when she caught Mrs. Lin lazing around, she decided to reassign the tasks.

"What’s in your hand?" Old Mrs. Mu raised her voice, asking sternly.

Mrs. Lin quickly hid the remaining pieces of rice noodles behind her, looking guilty.

"Mom, it’s nothing. You’re seeing things. I just went to the toilet; there’s nothing in my hands!" Mrs. Lin said with a flattering smile.

"You old hag, you think I’m blind, something that big, you think I can’t see? You better hand it over, or I’ll skin you alive!"

Terrified, Mrs. Lin handed over the rice noodles she had.

She explained, "Mom, this is the food from the third branch; you can’t take it!"

"Can’t, hmm!" Old Mrs. Mu laughed as if hearing a funny joke.

"No one in the Old Mu Family dares tell me no, you lie proper! And, do you think I’m stupid?

The third branch would skin you alive; they wouldn’t give you food. You’re fooling pigs! Give me those things!"

Old Mrs. Mu stretched out her hand, and all the rice noodles in Mrs. Lin’s hand went into hers.

Mrs. Lin pulled a face like a defeated rooster, drooping in dejection.

Those were things she got after a beating, how could...

Now, Mrs. Lin wished she could strangle Old Mrs. Mu.

County Town

Mu Dade wandered alone in the county for half an hour before finally finding the place where the County Magistrate’s family lived.

This time, Mu Dade vowed to see Ruan Xiao Jiao and ask for her help!

Ps: Yesterday, I wasn’t feeling well and went to the hospital. I should say I’ve been unwell lately and was just holding up until I couldn’t bear it anymore before going. It seems quite serious...

The next two days, I’ll be at the hospital for drips, which delayed yesterday’s two updates, for which I deeply apologize.

The missing Chapters will be made up. Not a single one will be missed.

Fengfeng’s typing speed isn’t fast, and the plot needs consideration. If only I had four hands, I could update a lot more every day...

A huge thanks for everyone’s support!
