From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 968 - 964: Hidden Dangers (Third Update)

Da Wu’s wife tried every possible way to keep the customers but failed.

A thought crossed her mind: could it be that Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng are selling baked pancakes at two coins each and people misunderstood, thinking all her pancakes are at that price?

Holding onto this thought, Da Wu’s wife stood still and waited for a while.

Anyone who heard the pancakes were five coins each shook their heads and left.

And those with bad tempers even scolded Da Wu’s wife.

"You must be crazy to think about money like this, a broken pancake, what nonsense!"

The last woman shouted this as the sun had already set.

Standing nearby, Daya’s stomach began to rumble.

"Mom, let’s go to the restaurant. Dad must have made dinner, and Daya is hungry."

The young girl’s voice had a hint of urgency.

Da Wu’s wife heaved a heavy sigh, having been unable to sell even one pancake for so long, she could only compromise.

"Daya, help me out a bit, let’s pack up the stall, I don’t think I can move it."

The pancake stall was carried with two shoulder poles, transported in and out by Da Wu.

Now that the stall was brought to the marketplace by Lu Yuanfeng, Da Wu’s wife would have to exert some effort to bring it back.

Da Wu’s wife bent over and tried several times, but the pancake stall didn’t budge an inch.

Even using all her strength, she couldn’t lift the stall.

"Mom, it’s so heavy, I can’t lift it either!" Daya’s face also turned red from exertion.

A woman and a child, no matter how much effort they put in, are no match for an adult man.

Especially one who has trained in a military camp. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Da Wu’s wife realized that she couldn’t move the pancake stall herself.

She looked around.

Trying to see if Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang had returned yet.

She glanced for quite a while but didn’t see them.

Da Wu’s wife started to complain in her heart again.

Complaining about how Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng took so much time to buy something.

Just then, a hefty man approached with a smile and asked Da Wu’s wife, "Little sister-in-law, do you want me to help carry the stall back?"

The man didn’t seem like a bad person.

Da Wu’s wife couldn’t lift the pancake stall herself.

So she nodded, "Alright, come with me!"

The pancake stall was delivered to Mu Shuangshuang’s courtyard, only then did Da Wu’s wife’s tense brows relax.

"Thanks, big brother!" Da Wu’s wife said.

Originally, she thought that after saying thank you, the man would leave.

Who would’ve thought the man would stand there, staring at Da Wu’s wife with shifty eyes, entirely different from before.

"Little sister-in-law, did you think I’d do the work for free? I carried the pancake stall for you, and you want to send me away without paying?" the man named Zhao Biao rolled up his sleeves, clenching his fists tightly.

Da Wu’s wife then realized the danger.

She called out for Daya, shielding her behind herself, then asked, "You... you didn’t say... didn’t say it needed payment... How much money?"

"One tael of silver, give me one tael, or I’ll be rude to you."

The burly man had an intimidating expression, veins popping on his forehead as he clenched his fists.

Da Wu’s wife stepped back repeatedly, while still refuting, "One tael of silver, why don’t you go rob it?"

Da Wu’s wife couldn’t afford a tael of silver.

In Shigou Town, their family only earned three hundred coins a day, a tael of silver would take four days, wasting so much pancake ingredients and labor.

In Qingshan Town, earning money is even harder.

They couldn’t make even ten big coins a day.

Let alone a tael of silver.

"Damn it, I guess you won’t cry until you see the coffin!" the man charged forward with clenched fists.

Da Wu’s wife turned pale with fright, just as she thought the fists would hit her.

Two stones hit the man’s arms, forcing him to retract his fists.

Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang both intervened, and Lu Yuanfeng rushed up, dragging the man’s arm and throwing him outside!

With a loud crash, the burly man was thrown to the ground by Lu Yuanfeng, howling in pain.

Only then did Da Wu’s wife regain her sense.

"Miss Shuangshuang, Fengzi... why did you come so late?" she asked.

After speaking, Da Wu’s wife realized she was too direct, quickly changing her words.

"Miss Shuangshuang, don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean that, I... I was scared to death," Da Wu’s wife frantically explained.

Mu Shuangshuang shook her head, "It’s fine!"

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang still maintaining the same composed demeanor, Da Wu’s wife felt relieved.

The man thrown out stood up when the pain subsided enough, roaring at Lu Yuanfeng, "Where are you from, kid? Daring to meddle in my affairs, you don’t want to live?"

Lu Yuanfeng stood motionless at the gate like a mountain.

Without a word, he imposed pressure on the man.

Beads of sweat started forming on the man’s forehead, but he still feigned confidence as though he wasn’t afraid of Lu Yuanfeng.

"This is my home! If you want to cause trouble, go somewhere else!" Lu Yuanfeng said coldly to the man.

"What did you say? Cause trouble? It was this rotten woman who made me work and didn’t pay. I tell you, there are plenty of people in town who know me.

If you don’t solve this today, nobody leaves!" The man stomped his feet on the ground, casting a resentful glance at Lu Yuanfeng.

Seeing the issue unresolved, Da Wu’s wife braced herself and shouted, "Fengzi, quick, get rid of this person, Father Xiao Zhu must be waiting impatiently at the restaurant.

Don’t know if anyone else is there, if it affects Chengfeng Restaurant’s business we’re in trouble."

Da Wu’s wife blurted out the restaurant’s name in panic.

Mu Shuangshuang tried to stop her, but it was too late.

The brute’s eyes gleamed upon hearing the restaurant’s name.

In an instant, he leapt up, swinging his fists at Lu Yuanfeng, who kicked the man in the stomach.

He kicked the man several meters away. The man was no match for Lu Yuanfeng and had suffered a heavy loss.

He whimpered a few times, then climbed up from the ground, threatening Lu Yuanfeng, "Just wait, you wait for me! I’ll bring brothers to get you!"

After saying this, the man scampered off.

Da Wu’s wife’s heart completely relaxed.

The troublemaker left, and the tael of silver was saved.

Yet Mu Shuangshuang’s brows remained furrowed, fearing Da Wu’s wife has caused trouble for the restaurant.

"Miss Shuangshuang, Fengzi, why aren’t you leaving?" Da Wu’s wife walked a few steps forward, seeing the two hadn’t followed, she turned and asked.

Mu Shuangshuang opened her mouth, about to question Da Wu’s wife, but was stopped by Lu Yuanfeng grabbing hold of her wrist.

"Shuangshuang... let it go, there’s no use talking to her about this!"

Mu Shuangshuang slowly unclenched her fists.

However, she had already decided on a plan in her heart!
