From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 991 - 987: At Least There’s Hope (Second Update)
The people from the Old Yu Family had the earliest dinner and left right after.
Mu Dalang and Huang Bita followed Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, heading back to Er Gui Village only after dusk.
Fortunately, Lu Yuanfeng borrowed a carriage, and with a lantern hanging, they weren’t afraid of traveling at night.
Mu Shuangshuang was completely exhausted, laying motionless in the carriage.
Huang Bita gently cradled Shuangshuang in her arms, lightly massaging her shoulders.
"Shuangshuang, you must be worn out, right?" Huang Bita asked.
"Yes!" Mu Shuangshuang gasped for breath.
"I’ve been walking back and forth so much today, I’m almost pooped out."
Driving the carriage, Lu Yuanfeng chuckled upon hearing this, but didn’t expect Mu Shuangshuang inside the carriage to hear it.
"Fengzi, you’re laughing!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"I’m not laughing, I’m too heartbroken for you!"
What Lu Yuanfeng said was true, it’s just that Mu Shuangshuang’s words were so amusing that upon hearing them, one couldn’t help but be entertained.
But deep down, there was still a sense of heartache.
"Shuangshuang, I really envy you, being able to work with Fengzi on your own matters now." Huang Bita said.
Mu Shuangshuang smiled shyly, "Actually, it’s nothing, many things can’t be rushed; take it step by step, and it’ll eventually get better."
"Just like Brother Dalang wants to become the only butcher in our village, if he manages, he’ll be able to earn quite a bit of silver too." Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Shuangshuang, stop making fun of me. All my belongings are now in the three little pigs in your pigpen, and for now, the pig supplies rely on Third Uncle and Third Aunt."
"I don’t even know when the little pigs will grow up so that I can start butchering pigs."
Mu Dalang didn’t intentionally bring up this topic; it just happened in conversation, making him a bit sentimental.
"Brother Dalang shouldn’t focus only on butchering; aren’t there other things you can do?" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Like what?" Mu Dalang asked, puzzled.
"Castrating pigs, breeding, also learning some simple medicines for piglets that get sick. Butchering and selling pork can make money, and so can these things."
Mu Shuangshuang’s words enlightened Mu Dalang.
"But where can I learn these things? I don’t know how." Mu Dalang said.
"Go find experienced butchers; they should know, but don’t look around here, as there might be competition." Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Then tomorrow I’ll ask the village head and Grandpa Wang or Uncle Fu; they’ve seen more of the world and know more people," Mu Dalang said.
Only then did Mu Shuangshuang nod in satisfaction.
"Asking them is indeed better than searching without a target." Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Oh right, Sister-in-law, thank your three brothers for me today; they’ve helped me a great deal."
Mu Shuangshuang referred to the dragon and lion dance. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Huang Bita was also pleased; she had been chatting with her three brothers all day, and most importantly, her eldest brother had found a girl he liked; with just a few silver and a milk goat, he could get married.
This made Huang Bita happier than anyone else.
Her brothers wouldn’t be left uncared for, and in-laws could help with cooking meals.
The brothers wouldn’t have to return exhausted from a day’s work without a hot meal.
"It’s nothing, my third brother said he intends to continue with the dragon and lion dance, and wanted to thank you for paying his fellow trainees!"
When talking about her brothers, Huang Bita beamed brighter than usual.
As a sister, even after getting married, her care for her brothers was rare.
"Haha, it’s only right. But your three brothers refused to take the money!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"They were helping out; it shouldn’t be counted!" Huang Bita explained quickly.
Honestly, Huang Bita didn’t know her brothers would help at Shuangshuang’s restaurant.
Nor did she expect them to be involved in this way.
Nevertheless, today was the happiest day for Huang Bita since getting married.
Finally, they returned to the village, and the carriage stopped right at the Old Mu Family’s courtyard gate.
After Mu Dalang and Huang Bita went inside, they drove the carriage to the third branch’s entrance.
By then, oil lamps were already lit in the third branch, and in the kitchen, Yu Si Niang had the fire burning warmly.
The Huang brothers, along with several people from the third branch including Yuanbao, gathered in a circle.
"Boss, you’re finally back; we brothers have been waiting impatiently." Huang Er shouted loudly.
Mu Shuangshuang happily plopped down on an empty stool.
Overall, there was a special feeling of comfort.
Indeed, home is most comfortable.
Yuanbao and Little Zhi came up, each taking one side.
The two little ones cheerfully said, "Sister, you’ve worked hard; we’ll massage your back for you!"
The little ones worked on the massage, feeling extremely comfortable.
Mu Shuangshuang stretched lazily and said to the two little ones behind her, "Your Brother Yuan Feng has worked hard too; why don’t you say some kind words to him?"
Little Zhi glanced at Lu Yuanfeng, then trotted over to his side.
He was just about to massage Lu Yuanfeng’s back.
"Little Zhi, go back to your sister; I’m fine!" Lu Yuanfeng waved his hand.
Yuanbao also said, "Little Zhi, come over here, by my side! Our second brother has thick skin; he’s the one who needs attention. Let’s take good care of Sister Shuangshuang."
Yuanbao looked like a little adult.
Mu Shuangshuang turned around and pinched Yuanbao’s chubby little nose, "You little clever one, your mouth is as sweet as honey.
So, how was the food today?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"Very good! Especially that duck Sister Shuangshuang cut, it was delicious, I even gnawed the bones!" Yuanbao said, starting to salivate.
Mu Shuangshuang patted his head, "Be good, in a few days, I’ll take you to town for more!"
Mu Shuangshuang doted on Yuanbao extremely, no less than her own siblings.
With Yuanbao’s sweet mouth and understanding nature, he received more praise than Little Zhi and Xiao Han combined.
"Shuangshuang, why did you ask us to come to your house after we came back?" Huang Da and Huang Er asked.
Seeing the scene, Yu Si Niang knew it was time to discuss serious matters.
She quickly took the three children to the room to help wash up.
Yuanbao stayed at the third branch overnight, sleeping with Xiao Han, while Little Zhi would sleep with Mu Shuangshuang.
"Are you brothers interested in procuring for the restaurant?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Previously, procurement was done by Mu Shuangshuang, Yu Dahai, and Lu Yuanfeng together.
But all three had their own jobs.
Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t be at the restaurant every day, and neither could Lu Yuanfeng.
"Miss Shuangshuang, I’m afraid I can’t keep track of money; let my big brother do it!" Huang Er suddenly said.
"Does your restaurant need hands? If it does, let me be a waiter; I can serve dishes and meals!" Huang Er said.
Both brothers were kind-hearted, and Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng had once saved their lives.
Having helped them so much, they only wanted to repay by helping Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng a bit.
"Would you do kitchen help work in the restaurant’s back kitchen?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
