From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 884 - 880: Mrs. Jin Gets Kicked Away (Third Update)
After hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s explanation, Zhu San roughly understood.
He was particularly interested in the private school Mu Shuangshuang mentioned.
"Shuang, my son is also old enough to go to school. I just heard you say that the school is accepting a limited number of students?
Can I register my son first?" Zhu San asked.
After saying this, Zhu San took out his pocket, intending to pay a deposit or something.
Seeing this, Mu Shuangshuang quickly stopped him: "Uncle Zhu San, the private school isn’t completely set up yet, let’s not worry about the gift for now. You should go back and discuss with Aunt Zhang whether you really want to send Mao Mao to the private school."
All from the same village, Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t worried about Zhu San defaulting. On the contrary, since this was the first year of the private school, she wanted to make sure everything was perfect without any disputes.
Because Zhu San was the first one to inquire, Mu Shuangshuang gave Zhu San a fairly detailed plan in private.
In a short while, Zhu San had a deep understanding of Mu Shuangshuang’s private school.
In his heart, he was already determined to send his child to Mu Shuangshuang’s school.
"Shuang, your father said he wants to put up spring couplets, could you come and help make the rice paste?" At the kitchen door, Yu Si Niang took a moment to call out to Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang grinned and agreed: "Alright, Mom, I’ll be right there!"
Zhu San then knowingly said, "Shuang, you guys are busy, I’m heading back to put up my spring couplets!"
Mu Shuangshuang did not decline.
Everyone was busy today, she had already taken time to talk with Zhu San for a long time, it was not appropriate to continue chatting.
"Let me see you off!"
Mu Shuangshuang escorted Zhu San to the courtyard gate, watching him leave the third branch. She was just about to turn back and help when she saw Old Mrs. Mu storming toward the third branch.
Behind the old lady was Mrs. Jin, looking as though she was enjoying the spectacle, and Mrs. Lin, who looked sly.
Following them were Huang Bita and Mrs. Liu, both looking anxious.
Apparently, Old Mrs. Mu brought the daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law to cause trouble for the third branch.
Mu Shuangshuang quickly called out to Zhu San: "Uncle Zhu San, my grandma is here, probably about my uncle’s matter. Can you help explain?"
During the New Year, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t want to argue with the Old Mu family, nor did she want to resolve things with violence.
Thankfully, Zhu San, who initially walked out of the Old Mu family courtyard, hadn’t left, solving quite a bit of trouble for her.
When Zhu San heard Mu Shuangshuang calling him, he turned around and saw Old Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Jin behind her.
He roughly guessed what might have happened, and he increasingly disliked Mrs. Jin.
He felt Mrs. Jin acted completely unlike how village folks thought; she wasn’t generous yet pretended to be.
"From the third branch, come out! What kind of heart do you all have, making the villagers dislike Da De? You just want to pick up the pieces, huh!"
Old Mrs. Mu always liked to yell loudly, unreasonably.
Whenever something involved Mu Dade, everyone else was wrong.
Zhu San rushed up and politely said to Old Mrs. Mu: "Auntie, you’ve misunderstood Da Shan’s family. About the spring couplets, it’s Da De himself being not decent with his ways.
How to prioritize the later ones over the earlier ones, Aunt Zhang who came later got hers written first."
Zhu San was a rough man, straightforwardly speaking whatever came to his mind.
As soon as he spoke, he broke Old Mrs. Mu’s biggest taboo, saying something negative about Mu Dade.
Old Mrs. Mu immediately spat on Zhu San’s face.
"Nonsense, my son kindly writes spring couplets for you poor devils, he writes as he pleases.
If he wants to write for someone first, they can be written first. If you can’t take it, just don’t go to him!"
Old Mrs. Mu shouted loudly.
Having Old Mrs. Mu’s spittle, sticky on his face, even the hardy Zhu San almost felt nauseous.
Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t expected Old Mrs. Mu to disregard neighborly bonds and behave so crudely toward Zhu San.
When it happened, she stepped forward to block Old Mrs. Mu.
"Grandma, why are you acting so domineering? Everyone did go for free spring couplets, but we’re not Uncle’s dogs, coming and going as commanded!"
Speaking of dogs, Old Mrs. Mu felt increasingly justified.
"Shuang, you shouldn’t call them dogs. A dog, if you give it a bone, knows how to wag its tail at you, but these people benefited from Da De and still don’t know how to be grateful!"
Mu Shuangshuang let out a cold snort. She seriously wanted to split open Old Mrs. Mu’s brain and see what was inside.
She could shamelessly say such words.
"Mom, this matter isn’t the villagers’ fault, it was Shuang who stirred things up. Don’t forget, Auntie said earlier it was Shuang who went to call Luo the Scholar!"
No one knew if Mrs. Lin was really dumb or pretending.
Overall, she publicly betrayed Mrs. Jin in front of everyone.
Mrs. Jin’s immediate reaction was to deny, and she argued with a flushed face: "Gou Dan’s mother, don’t wrong me, when did I ever say such words."
Mrs. Lin rolled up her sleeves and raised her voice, "Sister-in-law, what you said yourself, why aren’t you admitting it? We all heard it."
Mrs. Jin was enjoying the spectacle by the side, but after Mrs. Lin’s accusation, she was furious enough to tear Mrs. Lin apart.
In her mind, she thought: This dumb woman is no good!
"Grandma, let’s just go back; surely it’s not Shuang’s fault." Huang Bita stood up, trying to say something for Mu Shuangshuang.
But was harshly shoved by Old Mrs. Mu.
"Old woman speaking, mind your own business, don’t meddle in the third branch’s affairs." Old Mrs. Mu sternly said.
"But, Grandma..." Huang Bita continued.
Old Mrs. Mu raised her hand, ready to hit Huang Bita, but Mu Shuangshuang quickly pulled her aside.
Mu Shuangshuang’s fist clenched tightly, she glared angrily at Old Mrs. Mu: "Grandma, Luo Bai is invited by me and is the teacher for our private school.
Don’t say he’s writing couplets for villagers now, he will write in the future whenever he has time! You neither can control nor manage it.
If you think villagers coming to write spring couplets should be grateful to Uncle, then you’re mistaken; everybody can choose to write here or spend money in town!"
This saying ’the wheels of fortune rotate’, remember it, one day Uncle might not be a scholar anymore."
"You..." Old Mrs. Mu stomped in anger at Mu Shuangshuang’s words.
Her hand slapping her thigh, almost tearing her pants.
In the entire Old Mu family, no one dared to say anything bad about Mu Dade but Mu Shuangshuang.
This darn girl.
"Miserable girl, you’ve gone too far, I’m going to kill you today!"
Old Mrs. Mu’s hand, previously paused, swung towards Mu Shuangshuang.
With a "bang", Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t hit, but instead Mrs. Jin was kicked away.
She lay on the ground, her face ashen.
Her gaze at Mu Shuangshuang was full of disbelief.
Clearly earlier, the old woman and this miserable girl were about to clash, how come she ended up suffering instead?
