From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 955 - 951: Next Time Won’t Be Like This (Second Update)
Mrs. Chen cried, shouted, and caused a scene, but she couldn’t stop Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng from cooperating seamlessly.
By the time she stopped crying and causing a scene, her house roof had already been stripped bare, and all the tiles that came through Lu Yuanfeng’s hands were thrown on the ground.
Mu Shuangshuang squatted down and said to Mrs. Chen, "We did this on behalf of Old Lady Lu.
If you ever do something like this again, I won’t just strip your roof tiles; I might burn your house down."
Mrs. Chen looked at Mu Shuangshuang with eyes full of fear.
In her entire life, it was the first time she realized that there could be someone so arrogant.
With just one sentence, Lu Yuanfeng stripped all the tiles off her house.
If he were to kill, would that brat do it too?
Mrs. Chen dared not think further. She didn’t know where the strength came from, but she ran, bursting into her house, which was already missing its tiles. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Only then did Mu Shuangshuang stop her hand. She dusted off the dirt from her hands and started picking up the tiles.
These were Lu Yuanfeng’s belongings, and she wouldn’t let these thankless jackals have them.
After Lu Yuanfeng climbed down from the ladder, he ignored Old Lady Lu and instead helped Mu Shuangshuang move the tiles.
"Feng’er... thank you!" Old Lady Lu knew her words were useless.
At that time, she had nodded in agreement to sell his mother, and regardless, it was an unchangeable fact.
Holding a wooden basin, she went back to her room and told Old Sir Lu about the incident.
The man lying on the kang realized for the first time what regret felt like.
Old Sir Lu never knew about the bullying incident of Old Lady Lu by his fourth daughter-in-law.
Even now, Old Sir Lu still thought that Zhang Huai Shu’s previous visit to treat him was paid for by the fourth branch.
After all, over the years, the fourth son, Lu Zizhang, was the child Old Sir Lu had invested the most effort in.
Giving him whatever he wanted.
If there was none, even if it meant selling fields, land, or his wife, he would gather it.
Yet, the one who embarrassed Old Sir Lu first was the cherished youngest child in his heart.
"Old man, we... we really shouldn’t have sold Fengzi’s mother for these thankless people. I’ve been regretting it daily.
If we hadn’t done that, now our family would be so much happier.
The eldest wouldn’t have gambled even bigger after getting money and wouldn’t have married Gu Jiulian, that poisonous woman.
And the fourth wouldn’t have married Chen Xiaoyue, that vicious woman..."
As she spoke, tears welled up in Old Lady Lu’s eyes.
How could Old Sir Lu not regret?
But the enmity of killing one’s mother cannot coexist under the same sky. Even if Fengzi’s mother didn’t die, the pain of separation over the years was enough for Fengzi to hate them for a lifetime.
"Old lady... we deserve death!"
-
Lu Yuanfeng picked up a few tiles, stacked them together, and only then did he come to his senses.
"Shuangshuang, didn’t you say we were going to pick up Brother Dahu’s son, daughter, and wife? We... we shouldn’t bother with these tiles; picking them up is urgent."
Saying this, Lu Yuanfeng took Mu Shuangshuang’s hand to head outside of Old Lu’s house.
"It’s getting late, we can’t delay anymore."
Mu Shuangshuang secretly laughed at this foolish boy.
"I have already asked Brother Da Lang to help, so we can leisurely move the tiles here and return after lunch is ready."
Lu Yuanfeng glanced at Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang rubbed her nose, blushing, and said, "Don’t praise me, I know I’m very smart."
"Just now, I indeed went to Old Wang’s house, but then I thought that Mrs. Chen wasn’t a good person, so what if she tried to set a trap for you?"
"Coincidentally, on the way, I met Brother Da Lang and my cousin’s wife, so I asked him to help run an errand. He’s an old hand in town, very familiar."
After hearing this, Lu Yuanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Your thoughtfulness ensured we could still accomplish things today."
Mu Shuangshuang chuckled.
"You don’t understand women. When women go crazy, only another woman can handle them. Otherwise, even you would end up in a tough spot."
Although most men always say women only know how to cry, shout, and threaten, when done right, these tricks are enough for a man to feel overwhelmed and beg for mercy.
After hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words, the knot in Lu Yuanfeng’s heart suddenly untied.
He said, "I understand now, next time if this happens, I’ll consult Shuangshuang first!"
"There’s going to be a next time?" Mu Shuangshuang said.
Lu Yuanfeng was taken aback, "Why? Isn’t this method effective?"
"Sure, but next time, first tie Mrs. Chen up, block her mouth, and deal with her first.
Don’t make a big fuss, especially don’t let the villagers find out; this way, what can Mrs. Chen do?"
Lu Yuanfeng genuinely admired Shuangshuang now.
But he knew her temperament; though she said so, she wouldn’t act recklessly, and Lu Yuanfeng had nothing to worry about.
"Shuangshuang, you take a break, I’ll move these tiles!"
-
Lu Zizhang found out his house tiles were stripped when Lu Yuanfeng had already moved them back to his own yard by himself.
He stood at the courtyard gate, cursing for a long time.
Originally being someone with little backbone, Lu Zizhang would curse, but when it came to fighting back, he was afraid.
So when Lu Yuanfeng appeared, he fled.
Lu Yuanfeng turned his head in contempt.
This time, with Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng stripping the tiles from Old Lu’s fourth branch, no one from the fourth branch dared to come and cause trouble again.
Previously, Mrs. Chen’s plan for her son to attend school for free now seemed as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
People from Old Lu’s family were different from those from Old Mu’s family.
They remember and learn from beatings; hit them once, and the next time they see you, they’ll take a detour.
But people from Old Mu’s family were extreme.
Hit them today, maybe they’ll remember tomorrow, but once the wounds heal, they’ll swagger in front of you again.
In short, Mu Shuangshuang felt she and Fengzi had won this time.
They helped Old Lady Lu and incidentally taught a lesson to those who once sold Lu Yuanfeng’s mother.
The two walked together, heading towards the third branch.
Returning home, Mu Shuangshuang immediately saw Yu Si Niang and Mu Dashan anxiously waiting in the courtyard.
Before she and Lu Yuanfeng got closer, the couple had already approached.
"You two... are you alright? I just heard from Yun’er that you two had a run-in with Old Lu’s people? Were you hurt?"
Mu Shuangshuang shook her head with a smile, "Nope! By the way, Mom, have Xiao Han and Yuanbao returned home from school?"
At the mention of the two kids, Yu Si Niang’s attention was instantly diverted.
"No, they said they would eat at school and bond with everyone."
Yu Si Niang continued, "The two boys are attending school for the first time; everything about it is novel to them, and they are reluctant to come home even in the evening."
"But I heard from your dad that the kids really like Luo Bai, saying his classes are interesting."
Mu Shuangshuang knew Luo Bai’s skills, so she wasn’t surprised.
Conversely, Yu Si Niang was different, experiencing the school for the first time, first time sending a son to school...
