From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 954 - 950: Tearing Off the Roof (First Update)
Lu Yuanfeng followed the path he had walked countless times and went straight to the Old Lu Family.
In the yard, Mrs. Chen was busy drying soybeans harvested before winter.
Drying these soybeans allows for longer storage and they can be made into tofu or soy milk, providing a good meal for her husband and son.
The beans had just been spread out when Old Lady Lu wobbled out of the house.
Mrs. Chen glared at Old Lady Lu, remembering how Old Lady Lu had talked to Mu Shuangshuang for so long and still hadn’t managed to get her to do what she wanted.
She was furious and couldn’t help but curse.
"All day long, doing nothing but eating! At such an old age, how can she have such thick skin, even the turtle in the pond would be ashamed!"
Old Lady Lu was holding a wooden basin filled with Old Sir Lu’s clothes.
It was only the end of January, and the weather was not very warm, making washing clothes in such cold quite unfavorable.
Yet none of the daughters-in-law, except the second son’s family, were willing to wash clothes for Old Lady Lu.
Just at this time, the second son’s family had gone to the wife’s parents’ home, making Old Lady Lu’s days even harder.
Being beaten and scolded were common occurrences!
"Yueyue, let’s just drop that matter, I...I asked that girl from the Old Mu Family, and she refused," Old Lady Lu said.
Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at Old Lady Lu and replied, "She refused because you didn’t ask Feng.
That stubborn girl and crazy kid are tight as thieves; everything will eventually go to crazy kid upon marriage.
If you need to ask, of course, you should ask crazy kid, why look for that stubborn girl?"
Old Lady Lu tried hard to smile, but even then, Mrs. Chen remained unsatisfied.
Her ugly face was full of malice, and, taking advantage when Old Lady Lu wasn’t looking, she quietly went forward and kicked Old Lady Lu in the behind.
"Bang!" Old Lady Lu fell, and the wooden basin in her hand dropped to the ground.
Old Lady Lu’s eyes stung slightly, but recalling Mrs. Chen’s past cruel methods, she hurriedly got up.
Her wrist ached, and her body too.
Getting up was difficult enough, bending down was even harder.
Old Lady Lu tried several times, failing each time.
Suddenly, a broad, strong hand moved ahead to pick up the basin and then the clothes belonging to Old Sir Lu scattered on the ground.
Old Lady Lu looked up to see Lu Yuanfeng with furrowed brows.
Excitedly, Old Lady Lu directly called out Lu Yuanfeng’s name, "Fengfeng... Why... why are you here, weren’t you supposed to handle something with Miss Shuangshuang?" Old Lady Lu asked.
Lu Yuanfeng shook his head, "I came to check in, Shuangshuang is waiting for me at the Wang Family, I’ll head over there later."
After saying that, Lu Yuanfeng turned to face Mrs. Chen.
His face was cold like the winter frost, intimidating Mrs. Chen who was already slightly shocked.
Nevertheless, Mrs. Chen refused to admit defeat, sticking out her chest and saying, "What are you looking at? Didn’t you cut ties with our Old Lu Family? What brings you here?"
"You just pushed my grandmother." Lu Yuanfeng stated firmly.
"Are you blind? Which eye saw me push this old woman?" Mrs. Chen shouted.
Not only that, she arrogantly asked Old Lady Lu, "Mother-in-law, did I push you just now?"
Old Lady Lu looked at Mrs. Chen, then at Lu Yuanfeng, shook her head, and said, "No, I fell on my own, Fengfeng, you should go find Miss Shuangshuang!"
Old Lady Lu urged Lu Yuanfeng.
But Lu Yuanfeng did not heed her words and stepped towards Mrs. Chen.
Standing at eight feet tall, he naturally exuded an overwhelming presence in front of the short-statured Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen stepped back repeatedly, accidentally falling to the ground.
Seeing Lu Yuanfeng still advancing towards her, she closed her eyes and started shouting, "Help, murder, Lu Yuanfeng is killing someone..."
Mrs. Chen, accustomed to being a shrew, had a loud voice. Her shouts drew the neighbors out, who gathered around the Old Lu Family’s courtyard to watch the commotion.
Clearly, this was beyond Lu Yuanfeng’s expectations.
He hadn’t even touched Mrs. Chen, yet she had already labeled him a murderer, and to discipline her further would risk being criticized throughout the village.
At this moment, a figure rushed forward and grabbed Mrs. Chen’s wrist.
They shouted at the top of their lungs, "Aunt Lu, do you think you can fling dirt at Feng just to avoid paying back the money?
Back then, you took quite a bit of silver taels from Feng; everyone here has keen eyes and won’t fall into the trap of your lies."
Upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words, the villagers began to look at Chen Xiaoyue with suspicion.
Everyone was there for the spectacle, not concerned about who was right or wrong.
Mrs. Chen’s hand was tightly gripped by Mu Shuangshuang, and the more she struggled, the more Mu Shuangshuang increased her grip.
After a couple of struggles, Mrs. Chen felt like her hand was about to break.
She immediately felt extremely distressed, "Let go... let go!"
"You filthy brat, you and Lu Yuanfeng are in cahoots, your words are not trustworthy, everyone help, help..."
Mrs. Chen was shouting again, her face turning beet red.
The villagers didn’t know that Mu Shuangshuang was so strong; with just a grab, she made Mrs. Chen ache so much, making it seem that Chen was just shouting nonsense.
"Feng, whatever Mrs. Chen has taken from you, take it now while everyone is here, because if you try to take it back when they’re not, she’ll wrongly accuse you of murder again."
Mu Shuangshuang said to Lu Yuanfeng.
Lu Yuanfeng was filled with emotions at this moment, recalling that he had clearly seen Shuangshuang walking towards the Wang Family, so how did she end up back here?
But now was not the time to ponder this.
Lu Yuanfeng scanned the rooms of the fourth house of the Lu Family and finally his gaze landed on the tiles of the roof.
"Shuangshuang, those tiles were ones I bought and laid when I came back."
Mu Shuangshuang’s lips curled into a smile, "What are you waiting for then, grab a ladder and take them back!"
Mu Shuangshuang’s words left everyone a little dumbfounded.
Debt repayment is an obligation, but this was the first time anyone had seen someone retrieve tiles directly from someone else’s roof.
Lu Yuanfeng found a ladder at the Old Lu Family and quickly climbed onto the roof.
As the first tile was thrown from the roof, Mrs. Chen went berserk.
"Oh dear, you ruthless bastard, you beast, beast..."
"Someone come, help, he’s acting like a hooligan, hooligan..."
The more Mrs. Chen yelled, the more tiles fell from the roof, and in no time, a good portion of the roof was bare.
If it were to rain or blow wind, it would certainly flood.
While cursing, Mrs. Chen was trying to hit towards Mu Shuangshuang’s direction, but each time her wrist was grabbed by Mu Shuangshuang.
Finally, Mrs. Chen was exhausted, and more than half of the tiles on the roof were removed.
"Bandits, both of you are bandits..."
