From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 953 - 949: Reasoning with Her

"What are you doing?" Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t hold back and shouted.

She had long disliked Mrs. Chen, not just because she was from the Old Lu Family, but also because she was partly responsible for selling Lu Yuanfeng’s mother back then.

After Mu Shuangshuang shouted, Mrs. Chen was momentarily flustered.

But she quickly stepped forward to support Old Lady Lu.

"Oh dear, my goodness! How could you be so careless, even falling while walking.

I’ve been saying you’re too old to be out, see, now you’ve fallen,"

Mrs. Chen said feignedly.

Old Lady Lu waved her hand, pretending it wasn’t a big deal.

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang still staring at them, Mrs. Chen lowered her voice and said to Old Lady Lu, "Mother, what are you waiting for? I heard the second son’s son in the Old Mu Family, Mu Jingui, got into school without spending a penny.

Jinbao is your grandson, and that boy is close to this stinky girl; our Jinbao should also go to school for free."

Mrs. Chen thought her voice was low, but Mu Shuangshuang still heard it.

She furrowed her brows, deciding to ignore the people of the Old Lu Family.

Old Lady Lu shook her head, "Yueyue, why don’t... why don’t you and Zhang’er pay one or two silver as a gift, Fengzi has severed ties with our Old Lu Family, I’m afraid..."

Old Lady Lu’s life now was far from as good as before.

Old Sir Lu was bedridden due to illness, and her frail bones couldn’t endure much now.

Every time she passed by Lu Yuanfeng’s courtyard, Old Lady Lu would remember Lu Yuanfeng’s disappointed face upon learning the truth about his mother’s disappearance.

"What are you afraid of? Don’t forget, now that the old man is paralyzed, you’re living off our fourth house.

That bitch Gu Jiulian only cares about her son now, and doesn’t care about you." Mrs. Chen said irritably.

"I..." Old Lady Lu still hesitated.

"What ’I’? If you keep blabbering, I’ll kick you out of the Old Lu Family, along with your paralyzed husband!" Mrs. Chen said viciously, her face twisted.

Old Lady Lu was startled and stumbled toward Mu Shuangshuang.

As for Mrs. Chen, she stayed put, watching the show.

Old Lady Lu approached Mu Shuangshuang as Lu Yuanfeng finished carving wood. He put his tools in the storage room and came out.

Without even washing his hands, he went up to Mu Shuangshuang.

Seeing Old Lady Lu, he was first stunned, then asked quietly, "Do you need something?"

Since the night Old Lady Lu left Lu Yuanfeng’s house, she hadn’t returned.

"No... nothing much, I heard Yuanbao started school, in the village.

I don’t know how he’s doing in school. I made him a bag, I’ll go get it now."

Old Lady Lu didn’t mention what Mrs. Chen had said, and Mu Shuangshuang didn’t bring it up either.

Lu Yuanfeng shook his head, "There’s no need, the school is close to home, Yuanbao doesn’t need a bag."

Lu Yuanfeng’s attitude was neither cold nor warm, just like talking to an average person.

Mu Shuangshuang stepped aside to give space for them to talk.

After a few words, Lu Yuanfeng told the old lady, "I have things to do with Shuangshuang, if you have nothing, then you should go back!"

Old Lady Lu was clearly reluctant, looked at Lu Yuanfeng several times, and the feeling of regret in her heart rose again.

She said, "Just go do what you need to do, and I... I’ll stay here for a while."

Lu Yuanfeng listened, then took Mu Shuangshuang’s hand and walked outside.

"Fengzi, we should wash up, tidy up our hair too.

Brother Dahu came alone, his wife and two kids are in the town.

We’ll borrow a wagon from Old Master Wang and hurry to bring them back."

Only then did Lu Yuanfeng realize he was all dirty in his rush to leave.

"The dust in the yard hasn’t settled, wait for me a moment."

After saying that, Lu Yuanfeng went into the yard, leaving Mu Shuangshuang with Old Lady Lu.

It was the first time Old Lady Lu interacted privately with Mu Shuangshuang.

She remembered the first time she saw Mu Shuangshuang, she believed Gu Jiulian’s words that the little girl in front of her was deceiving her grandson for money.

Wasn’t friendly to her.

A few months later, this girl grew into something more graceful.

Old Lady Lu often saw Mu Shuangshuang with her grandson, and whenever she was around, her grandson’s face had a brighter smile than usual.

Moreover, this girl had a good reputation in the village and was only seen with her grandson, never speaking with other boys.

Usually she dressed plainly, and her character was flawless.

Old Lady Lu knew she had misunderstood the girl before.

Fiddling with her voice for a while, Old Lady Lu finally spoke, "Girl, when are you and my grandson going to marry? When that time comes... can I come and have some wedding wine?"

Mu Shuangshuang was stunned, this was a question she couldn’t answer.

After all, it involved Lu Yuanfeng’s personal matters.

Even if she marries Lu Yuanfeng, these private matters still have to be handled by him personally.

"Grandma Lu, I don’t know either, but Fengzi and I are still young, we’re not in a hurry to get married.

Besides, Yuanbao is still young, we also need to save enough for Yuanbao’s schooling and future wife."

More than one person in the village had asked Mu Shuangshuang about marriage, and she had always answered like this.

In reality, the main reason was that she was only fifteen, and Lu Yuanfeng was eighteen.

In modern times, they were too young and not ready for marriage.

"Alright..." Old Lady Lu nodded.

She had a lot to ask Mu Shuangshuang but felt it was impolite and dropped it.

As for Mu Shuangshuang, she also had something to remind Old Lady Lu.

"Grandma Lu, earlier I saw Mrs. Chen trip you, you... should be more cautious."

Nothing else was said by Mu Shuangshuang.

Just as Lu Yuanfeng came out, he had already changed clothes.

His face was clean and tidy too.

The two left the Old Lu Family together and headed to the Wang Family.

Halfway there, Mu Shuangshuang told Lu Yuanfeng about what Mrs. Chen had done.

Lu Yuanfeng suddenly stopped.

This time his face darkened, and anger started to overflow.

"Fengzi..." Mu Shuangshuang called out.

Lu Yuanfeng said solemnly, "Shuangshuang, wait for me, I feel like I forgot something and need to go back to get it!"

Lu Yuanfeng spoke almost through gritted teeth.

Mu Shuangshuang realized he was going back to confront Old Lady Lu.

"Fengzi... how about I go, I’m just a girl, if people know I acted, it’s no big deal.

If you’re a man and it gets out that you hit a woman, it might not look good."

Most of the time, no matter what the reason, men hitting women is never considered good.

"It’s alright, I won’t hit her, I’ll just reason with her!" Lu Yuanfeng said firmly.

After saying that, he headed back towards the Old Lu Family.

Mu Shuangshuang gritted her teeth, decided to listen to Lu Yuanfeng, and not interfere in this matter.
