From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 979 - 975: My Face Is Almost Ruined (Part 2)
It was different from what Mu Shuangshuang imagined.
The atmosphere in the kitchen was somewhat heavy.
Mu Dashan sat at the head seat, with half a bowl of wine in front of him.
It looked like he had something to say.
Mu Shuangshuang pursed her lips and called out, "Dad."
Mu Dashan forced a smile and greeted Mu Shuangshuang, "Quickly sit down! Your mom made lots of good dishes."
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t stand on ceremony and just sat down, immediately hearing Mu Dashan sigh deeply.
"Shuangshuang, I want to move to the school to manage students. If I spend more time, the students probably won’t go missing."
Mu Dashan was still very guilty about Sun Xiaozhu’s incident.
He always felt that if he had been more attentive, Sun Xiaozhu wouldn’t have disappeared. Now the chef who upset his daughter has run away.
"Dad, I know you’re still blaming yourself for that. Sun Daya was determined to find her brother. Even if it wasn’t yesterday, it would be some other time.
As for the restaurant, Sun Dawu not being the chef is a good thing for me. At least I won’t have to wait until I hand everything over to him for him to quit.
The earlier you discover, the smaller the loss. Besides, there are so many chefs in town, not just Sun Dawu alone.
You should manage as you should, don’t pressure yourself," Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Shuangshuang’s father, as long as we do our best, we can have a clear conscience. As for yesterday’s matter, the Sun family is the one responsible.
Their daughter went missing all day, and they didn’t even go looking. If they had searched earlier, would their son have gone missing?" Yu Si Niang said angrily.
She would go crazy if her child went missing.
Every day at mealtime, she would call for the children — how could she have gone all day without noticing they were missing?
"You all don’t need to comfort me anymore. I know, I am also responsible. Even if I don’t move to the school, I need to focus more attention on the children," Mu Dashan said.
"How about this, Dad? Let Mr. Luo Bai make you a registry, and every morning and noon, press a fingerprint on the registry.
Who’s there and who isn’t will be obvious. Also, appoint someone on duty to count heads each class. If anyone’s absent, report immediately to you and Mr. Luo Bai," Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Hey, that’s a good idea. I’ll discuss it with Luo Bai tomorrow." Mu Dashan’s mood finally lifted.
The wine meant for worry now turned to celebration.
The meal turned out lively for everyone.

Old Mu Family received Chen Hong brought back by the missing Mu Danian.
Another storm brewed in the family, but this time, Mu Danian was determined not to compromise.
In the dining hall, Mr. Mu held a bowl, his expression very serious.
Old Mrs. Mu also squinted her eyes, glaring at Chen Hong.
"Fifth, you went out, why did you bring back trouble again? Wasn’t this woman driven out?"
"Are you out of your mind, bringing home this loose woman!"
"Do you want to drive me and your father to our graves? Ruin your big brother’s good name?" Old Mrs. Mu pointed at Mu Danian and scolded furiously.
Mu Danian stood helpless for a year.
"Mom, it’s useless to scold me, Chen Hong is pregnant with my child. I can’t let my child wander and sleep rough outside, can I?"
"What? Chen Hong is pregnant?" Mr. Mu stood up suddenly.
Even the composed Old Mrs. Mu was taken aback.
Mrs. Lin was right beside, making sarcastic remarks.
"Fifth, seriously? We drove Chen Hong out long ago, did you two secretly hook up?"
Mu Qingqing blushed listening to her mother’s words.
Mu Dalang didn’t hesitate; he pulled Huang Bita and left with a bowl of rice.
Mu Xiaxia wanted to leave but didn’t have the courage, and could only look at Mu Dalang and Huang Bita with envy.
Mr. Mu realized that the topic had gone too far.
"Qing, Xia, take your younger brothers, scoop up your rice, and go outside!"
"Second sister-in-law, you truly can’t say anything good, what do you mean ’hook up’? Xiao Hong and I love each other. Now that Xiao Hong is pregnant, that’s joy upon joy." Mu Danian disdainfully glanced at Mrs. Lin.
Suddenly, Mu Danian noticed that Mu Dazhong was absent in the dining hall.
He hurriedly asked, "Dad, where’s my second brother?"
"Your second brother has gone to work as a miner. He will be back, but it will be a month away at least," Mr. Mu explained.
"Miner? My second brother? Dad, you must be joking. My second brother, the one who won’t move away from the muck like a maggot hugging a dung barrel, is a miner?" Mu Danian was incredulous.
"Do you think everyone’s like you? Eating without working, doing shady things. Now tell me clearly, is this loose woman truly carrying your child?" Old Mrs. Mu said with a stern face, questioning Mu Danian.
"Mom, why are your words so harsh? I’ve decided to marry Chen Hong; she will be my wife from now on.
Chen Hong said she doesn’t want any dowry money from our family, only an auspicious day to move in." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Mu Danian said slowly and calmly.
The pregnancy of Chen Hong was a lie, but disgusting his parents was true.
His parents never let him marry a wife.
In their eyes and heart, only his elder brother and younger sister existed.
"You beast, any woman that was picked for you, you would choose this kind," Old Mrs. Mu was red with anger.
"Mom, what do you mean ’this kind of woman’? Chen Hong is carrying my child; marrying her is taking responsibility!
When big sister-in-law got into big brother’s bed, you didn’t say anything then and married her grandly.
This time, Chen Hong asks for nothing and you still want more?" Mu Danian said loudly.
"Nonsense! You fool, did you lose your mind? This woman can’t compare to your sister-in-law?" Mr. Mu slammed the rice bowl onto the table.
The soup on the table almost spilled due to the impact.
"Of course, she can’t compare to sister-in-law. Xiao Hong is having a son, while sister-in-law would never produce a golden egg in her lifetime."
"Smack!" Mr. Mu slapped Mu Danian, causing a nosebleed.
Chen Hong cooperated by shouting, "Murder! Mr. Mu is killing people."
"Old Mu Family is persecuting their grandson, not allowing Mu Danian to marry a wife!"
Chen Hong’s loud cries caused Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu to panic.
With this matter going public, regardless of Chen Hong’s status, they were forced to marry her.
"Shut up, shut your mouth, you little wench..." Old Mrs. Mu struggled to cover Chen Hong’s mouth.
But Chen Hong had interacted with Old Mrs. Mu once before.
Moreover, thanks to the sisters in the brothel recently imparting wisdom, Chen Hong knew well how to handle these old hags who love to oppress daughters-in-law.
When Old Mrs. Mu lunged, Chen Hong dodged towards Mu Danian.
Old Mrs. Mu showed no care for Mu Danian, crazily scratching his face with long black nails, nearly ruining his handsome face.
He cried out, "Mom, you’re crazy, why are you scratching my face, ow, it hurts, it hurts so much..."
