From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 956 - 952: Second Branch’s Little Schemes (Third Update)
"Mom, let’s go inside and have a seat, and wait for Brother Da Lang to bring over Brother Da Wu’s family," said Mu Shuangshuang.
"Indeed, we shouldn’t stand outside," said Yu Si Niang.
Everyone followed and went inside.
In the kitchen, Sun Dawu was pulling out all the stops, chopping and frying with his highest level of skill.
The thickness of the vegetables must be consistent, and the spices must be used uniformly.
Having worked in the restaurant for several months, this had already become second nature to him.
In an instant, a radish was sliced into fine silver threads by Sun Dawu.
The sound of chopping echoed in the kitchen, while inside the room, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng told the story of the Old Lu Family to Yu Si Niang and Mu Dashan.
The couple listened, dumbfounded.
However, Mu Shuangshuang spared them the details of her own actions, only mentioning Lu Yuanfeng reclaiming what was rightfully his.
When it came to Old Lady Lu being bullied, Yu Si Niang shared another matter.
She said, "I heard this while chatting casually with Zhao Yun earlier, that Old Lu Family’s eldest daughter-in-law, Gu Jiulian, likes to use her hands."
The fourth daughter-in-law, Chen Xiaoyue, likes to curse. Ever since the Old Man became bedridden, neither of the daughters-in-law wants to take care of the old lady, treating her like dog turd.
"Ugh, they’re not like our family. As long as Shuangshuang’s grandparents aren’t against us, we’re willing to take care of the old couple."
Even now, Yu Si Niang never thought about ignoring the lives of the Old Mu couple.
As for those so-called brothers and sisters, she didn’t think about taking care of them either, because they would eventually enjoy life with the first branch, and live no worse than the third branch."
Lu Yuanfeng sighed and finally understood Shuangshuang’s sense of powerlessness.
Close relatives who don’t treat you as family, even enemies aren’t as harsh as those people.
Mu Dashan noticed Lu Yuanfeng’s peculiarity and spoke up, "Fengzi, everyone makes mistakes.
Some mistakes, we may never feel deserve forgiveness, but after a while, looking back, it seems like we can let go."
Up until now, Mu Dashan didn’t feel the need to sever ties with the Old Mu Family just because he had suffered losses there.
He is a member of the Old Mu Family, and he pays respect to his ancestors from the Old Mu Family.
Mu Dashan’s words still carried a hint of advising Lu Yuanfeng to try forgiveness.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Mu Shuangshuang initially didn’t want to speak, but now she had to, "Fengzi, my dad’s opinion comes from his life experiences.
You have your own life experiences, as long as you feel happy doing something, don’t think about anything else.
Being happy yourself is what matters!"
Life is short, enjoy it while you can.
If you can’t forgive someone, then don’t.
No one has stipulated that you must accommodate others while making yourself uncomfortable.
If Lu Yuanfeng was a bit confused after hearing Mu Dashan’s words, he had completely figured it out after hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words.
Forgiveness isn’t up to him, but his missing mother.
She is the one who was hurt.
As for his own thoughts, as Shuangshuang said, if it makes you happy, why not resent someone!
At this moment, the sound of a carriage’s wheels echoed at the courtyard entrance.
Mu Shuangshuang knew Da Wu’s wife had arrived.
She stood up and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
The carriage stopped at the side gate of the Old Mu Family, first Mu Dalang jumped down from the carriage, followed by Sun Dawu’s wife and two kids.
It’s their first time in Er Gui Village, and the two kids were a bit timid.
They didn’t even dare look up at their surroundings, clinging tightly to Da Wu’s wife’s clothes on both sides, which was rather endearing.
Mu Shuangshuang reached the courtyard entrance, and hearing the commotion, Sun Dawu also peeked out from the kitchen.
He happened to see his wife, daughter, and son.
Sun Dawu waved the spoon in his hand, "Little Bamboo’s mom, Little Bamboo... Daya, I’m here."
Mu Shuangshuang also spoke up, "Sister-in-law, Brother Da Wu has already prepared the meals, we’re just waiting for you."
Da Wu’s wife and Mu Shuangshuang had met before, but still felt a little embarrassed hearing her words.
"Miss Shuangshuang, I was in such a hurry that I didn’t have time to bring anything except a few baked pancakes I made this morning, I hope you don’t mind."
After saying that, Da Wu’s wife handed Mu Shuangshuang an oil-paper bag.
The bag contained quite a few baked pancakes.
The baked pancakes were already cold, but Mu Shuangshuang still felt very happy.
Sometimes goodwill is more important than gifts.
"Sister-in-law, please come inside, let’s eat directly."
A group of people headed straight to the kitchen.
Yu Si Niang helped set the table, Da Wu’s wife helped serve the food.
Mu Shuangshuang called Mu Dalang, asking him to also invite Huang Bita, so everyone could gather for a meal.
Soon, the table was filled to the brim.
At the dinner table, everyone praised Sun Dawu’s culinary skills.
"These shredded radishes, I think they’re finer than the embroidery needle at home, a great chef is truly different," said Yu Si Niang.
"Auntie, it’s just minor skills, but what Miss Shuangshuang makes is truly delicious," said Sun Dawu.
Da Wu’s wife also said, "Miss Shuangshuang taught me how to make baked pancakes, they’re very tasty."
"Haha, Brother Da Wu, sister-in-law, don’t praise me, today is Brother Da Wu’s show, not mine."
Sun Dawu was the chef invited by Mu Shuangshuang, everyone knew it.
Showing his skill today also gave everyone a sense of Sun Dawu’s capabilities.
"Right, Shuangshuang is right, Da Wu, just relax and accept it, the women here cook well, if they say it’s good, then it’s good!" Mu Dashan laughed.
Everyone ate and drank, while discussing the menu.
Most of the time, it was Mu Shuangshuang, Lu Yuanfeng, and Sun Dawu talking, the others listening.
Meanwhile, at the Old Mu Family, Mu Dazhong was also discussing work similarly with Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin’s family had sent people several times urging Mu Dazhong to work for them in the mines, managing the workers.
Initially, Mu Dazhong thought his brother-in-law wasn’t reliable and hesitated.
Later, seeing them making heaps of money.
He was already tempted.
Unfortunately, there were many affairs at the Old Mu Family before the year, he wanted to go, but Mr. Mu wouldn’t let him.
Now, with the Old Mu Family deep in debt, Mr. Mu also hopes Mu Dazhong can find work outside.
"By the way, Daddy Gou Dan, make sure not to let Mom and Dad know that you’re earning five taels of silver this time! Or else mom would definitely make you hand it all over."
Mrs. Lin whispered to Mu Dazhong.
"You think I’m an idiot, telling Mom how much I earn? No way, I told her it’s ten coins a day, room but no board.
When I return, I’ll say the money was spent on food, and there’s nothing left."
"Ha, Daddy Gou Dan, you’re really smart. But my brother is also great, mining is good work and earns a lot of money..."
