From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 949 - 945: The Village Chief Arrives (Second Update)
Mr. Mu’s face kept changing.
He didn’t expect that a simple matter could lead this little girl to stir up such a fuss.
To be honest, when Mr. Mu came, he was quite confident.
Although the third branch had split off, both Da Lang and Si Niang were emotional people. Just a few tender words, and they might listen to him.
But to his surprise, Shuang came out of nowhere.
Mu Shuangshuang was the most difficult to handle in the third branch, impervious to reason.
At this point, Mr. Mu hesitated, not knowing how to resolve this matter.
"Old man, don’t listen to that nasty girl. She’s a grandchild of our Old Mu Family and should listen to us. I said the Zhao Family’s children can’t go to school, so they can’t go!" Mrs. Lin was still domineering.
Mu Shuangshuang originally wanted to let her go, but was forced to speak up.
"Grandma, do you really think you’re not responsible for what happened with the Zhao Family? Do you remember why Zhuangzi divorced Second Aunt?
When Zhao Xiaomi was kidnapped, such a big thing happened to the Zhao family. How did you manage to sever ties with them?
I don’t need to remind you! But fine, I know what you’re afraid of; you’re afraid people will say that Zhuangzi would rather marry someone old and ugly than live with Second Aunt. You brought this on yourselves!"
Mu Shuangshuang’s words were factual, but they felt like a slap to the Old Mu Family’s face.
Mrs. Lin was furious, trembling, pointing at Mu Shuangshuang for a while before speaking: "I’ll kill you today, you..."
After saying that, Mrs. Lin lunged at Mu Shuangshuang.
This was a routine move of Mrs. Lin’s, and Mu Shuangshuang was used to it.
She had already taken a defensive stance, ready to let the old witch fall flat on her face once again.
However, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t expect that Yu Si Niang, in her motherly love, would stand in front of her.
With that crash, Yu Si Niang got hit instead. Mu Shuangshuang reached out to pull her back, but Yu Si Niang still ended up getting hit.
"Thud!" With a cry, Yu Si Niang fell to the ground, clutching her stomach and yelling.
Mu Dashan’s face turned pale with fear, and he rushed over to help her up.
Seeing Yu Si Niang lying there, Mu Shuangshuang got angry and yelled, "You old witch! How dare you hit my mother! I’ll take your life!"
Mu Shuangshuang kicked Mrs. Lin in the stomach, sending her to the ground, wailing just like Yu Si Niang, though more severely injured since Mu Shuangshuang hit her.
Watching Mu Shuangshuang fight back, Mu Dazhong and a few others stepped forward, grabbing her wrists and ankles.
This time, they were determined to teach Mu Shuangshuang a lesson.
If it were the Mu Shuangshuang from right after crossing over, she would have definitely been caught and tormented to death by these people, but now, Mu Shuangshuang ate well, lived well, and exercised every day.
These cowards were not even enough for her to handle in a single round.
Mrs. Lin was the first to charge and got kicked away by Mu Shuangshuang. She fell headfirst to the ground, landing right in a pile of pig manure that Yu Si Niang had cleaned from the pigsty last night.
The stench of manure filled the air as Mrs. Lin struggled several times, but couldn’t get up from the manure pile. Instead, she sank deeper.
Cries of agony echoed above the Old Mu Family as Mu Shuangshuang showed no mercy in beating a few elders.
Lu Yuanfeng, having hurried over upon hearing the news, was followed by a group of children.
Yuanbao, holding a melon scoop picked up from who knows where, tapped a few times on the heads of the people wailing on the ground.
"That’s what you get for bullying Sister Shuangshuang! I’ll beat you to death!"
Yuanbao was the king of the village kids; once he took action, the other children followed.
"Everyone, hit them..."
They kicked, picked noses, and sat on stomachs...
Mu Dazhong alone had five kids clinging to him.
Mu Shuangshuang was stunned by this sudden child army.
Looking at Lu Yuanfeng, he looked equally bewildered.
The villagers watching almost broke into the courtyard of the Third Branch of the Old Mu Family.
Pointing and talking, most discussed how Mr. Mu used his power to bully others but was taught a lesson by children.
Mr. Mu felt utterly humiliated, quickly helped Mrs. Lin up, and fled in disgrace.
This left Mu Dazhong and Mrs. Lin surrounded by a group of kids, resembling pigs being slaughtered.
The chaos lasted for the time it took an incense stick to burn, and only ended when the village chief arrived, dispersing the children.
The village chief was invited by Mu Dalang, knowing the Old Mu Family was causing trouble for the third branch, fearing things would not end well.
When he came, he drove all the villagers away.
The third branch, the Old Mu Family, gathered in the Old Mu Family’s main hall to discuss a resolution.
Lin and Mu Dazhong were bruised and swollen, especially Lin, who was covered in pig manure.
As soon as she entered, Mrs. Lin kicked her out.
For a moment, only the third branch’s family, the fourth branch, Mr. Mu, his wife, and Mu Dazhong, there to file a complaint, were left in the hall.
"Village chief, you have to help me out here. That nasty girl beat me up terribly, my handsome face... destroyed, completely destroyed!" Mu Dazhong cried out. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Admittedly, his swollen face paired with his pitiful demeanor was rather comical.
The village chief couldn’t help but want to laugh each time he saw him.
However, he was there as an impartial mediator and couldn’t laugh.
"Dazhong, when I arrived, all I saw were the kids beating you. I was wondering if you had taken something from them," the village chief said.
"I... I didn’t take anything. Village chief, you’re the most authoritative here. If you don’t help me, I’m doomed..." he said, bursting into tears.
Him crying like this was embarrassing enough for a grown man.
Mu Shuangshuang turned away disdainfully, not wanting to look at Mu Dazhong’s pathetic appearance.
"Old man, what do you think about this matter?" the village chief asked.
Mr. Mu had yet to recover from earlier events, and now looked rather strained.
But Mrs. Lin was agitated.
"Village chief, that nasty girl kicked me. This old body of mine, oh... it hurts so much!"
Mrs. Lin thought her pain was just too unbearable, fearing that the nasty girl’s kick had tied her intestines in knots.
"So how do you suggest dealing with Shuang?" the village chief asked.
"Beat her to death! That shameless girl dares to strike her elders, she’s turning the world upside down!" Mrs. Lin exclaimed.
Mrs. Lin’s words caused Yu Si Niang to panic.
She hurriedly said, "Village chief, it’s not like that, actually... actually it’s..."
"Yu Si Niang, you troublemaker, shut your mouth. You’re the one who caused this mess today, you have no right to speak!" Mrs. Lin yelled loudly.
Mu Shuangshuang also stood up, her face cold as she glared at Mrs. Lin, clearly ready to fight if she dared speak about her mother again.
"Village chief, you see that, right? Even now, that nasty girl still wants to hit someone!" Mu Dazhong pointed to Mu Shuangshuang’s clenched fists.
