From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 616 - 612: I Will Kill You (Second Update)

Mu Shuangshuang finally waited for Lu Yuanfeng, and trailing behind him, Yuanbao.Lu Yuanfeng was drenched all over, holding a fish in one hand.

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang peering at the gate, Lu Yuanfeng quickened his pace.

Yuanbao behind him ran so fast he almost burst, but still couldn’t catch up.

"Breakfast is ready, hurry up and eat, remember to change your clothes afterwards."

Mu Shuangshuang reminded him.

Lu Yuanfeng nodded heavily and followed Mu Shuangshuang into the yard.

Two fish were hung by Mu Shuangshuang on the bamboo pole used for clothes drying, waiting to be gutted and scaled after breakfast.

The droplets on Lu Yuanfeng’s body caught the attention of Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang as he entered the kitchen.

"Fengzi, what’s wrong with you? Did you go swimming early in the morning?" Yu Si Niang asked while getting up to hand Lu Yuanfeng a face towel from the kitchen.

Finally caught up, Yuanbao didn’t bother to catch his breath, gasping, "My brother went... early this morning... to the creek to catch fish, saying everyone worked hard today and needs nourishment!"

It took half a day to finish the sentence, and Yuanbao sat down afterwards.

"Good boy, it’s so cold, yet you went into the water," Yu Si Niang said with a pang of sympathy.

Mu Dashan was quite envious of Lu Yuanfeng.

Back when the Old Mu Family was struggling, the third branch was struggling, everyone only thought about Old Mrs. Mu getting something nice to improve life.

Unlike Fengzi, who proactively went seeking food in the fields, the creek, the mountains.

Yet this was why Mu Dashan felt more assured about entrusting his daughter to Lu Yuanfeng.

When crops have poor yields, when jobs are lost, only by truly relying on the mountains and waters can one avoid starvation.

"Fengzi, once I’m better, bring me along with you to the water, your third uncle wants to learn what you know."

"Mm!" Lu Yuanfeng nodded.

Two big bowls of rice noodles were placed in front of Lu Yuanfeng and Yuanbao by Mu Shuangshuang. Yuanbao sniffed and his mouth watered at the aroma.

He said to those in the room, "Third Uncle, Aunt, I’m starting to eat!"

Yuanbao ate more deliciously than anyone else, shoveling big bites, never stopping until finished.

"Brother Xiao Han, let’s race with Brother Yuanbao to see who finishes first."

The three kids kept shoveling food, having a jolly time.

...

...

Meanwhile, chaos broke out at the Old Mu Family.

Fourth branch’s Mrs. Liu went to her maiden home last night, so no one made breakfast this morning. Old Mrs. Mu threw a fit outside the fourth branch’s door, cursing Mrs. Liu roundly before leaving.

No one to cook in the fourth branch, so she sought the second branch.

Mrs. Lin, relying on her fetus loss blamed on Mrs. Jin, refused to go. She hadn’t worked in the fields for days, living comfortably, eating heartily without lifting a finger.

Old Mrs. Mu vented her rage, calling Mrs. Lin a lazy woman, saying she’d face retribution someday.

Despite this, Mrs. Lin lay there unmoving, like a corpse, and Old Mrs. Mu calmed down after venting.

No matter the words, the stomach still growled, so Old Mrs. Mu finally turned to Mu Danian, originally intending to have Chen Hong cook. Yet, sounds of their passion emerged from the room...

Old Mrs. Mu knew what they were doing inside. Instead of leaving, she forcefully knocked on the door.

"Open the door, Chen Hong! You shameless woman, dragging my son into that at the crack of dawn! Trying to drain him dry? You hussy, harlot..."

Old Mrs. Mu’s voice sounded like slicing tough tree bark.

Mu Danian’s door was about to be battered down, but most importantly, Mu Danian hadn’t finished.

He angrily climbed up, opened the door, yet before he could speak, Old Mrs. Mu lunged at Chen Hong, jerking her from the bed with a slap.

Chen Hong was naked, so the fighting noises were loud and chaotic.

Old Mrs. Mu cursed, "You wicked girl, discontent at home, a widow from someone else’s house, daring to seduce my son! I’ll show you what happens when you cross this old woman."

Old Mrs. Mu slapped Chen Hong’s chest, nearly flattening her buxom chest.

Next were her wrists, waist, face, slapping recklessly at Chen Hong.

Several locks of Chen Hong’s hair were torn off.

Pig-like screams erupted in Mu Danian’s room at the Old Mu House.

Mr. Mu was scrubbing straw in the yard, pulled over by the noise.

He entered and saw bare skin, angrily hurried back out.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Mu’s actions grew even more reckless.

"You wanton hussy, even seducing my husband! I’ll beat you to death."

Mu Danian stepped in to mediate but was brushed aside by Old Mrs. Mu.

Chen Hong cried for help, so loudly that even the third branch heard.

Mu Shuangshuang was just assigning gloves and tasks to everyone.

Lu Yuanfeng was charged with carrying rice to the roadside, Yu Si Niang with harvesting, Mu Shuangshuang with guiding the three kids to gather rice stalks into baskets.

Discussing plans, the cries persisted.

Mu Shuangshuang recognized Chen Hong’s voice, puzzled.

Chen Hong, so capable usually, unable to handle Old Mrs. Mu.

As she thought, the noise quieted from that end.

Chen Hong was battered severely by Old Mrs. Mu, black-eyed and bruised, suddenly finding strength from somewhere to shove Old Mrs. Mu.

Old Mrs. Mu staggered back, finally hitting the fifth branch’s table corner, cracking her back of the head, blood oozing out.

This time, it was Old Mrs. Mu screaming pig-like.

Chen Hong summoned energy from who knows where, slapping Old Mrs. Mu violently.

The situation spiraled out of control, with nausea-inducing fury almost making Old Mrs. Mu spit blood, curses continually streaming.

"Nasty hag, you dare hit me, you dare hit me..."

Old Mrs. Mu, having never been slapped in her life, had deep-seated hatred for Chen Hong.

Mu Danian intervened, holding Old Mrs. Mu back from Chen Hong, saying, "Honghong, dress up and find Father. Mother has gone mad!"

Mu Danian, fortunately, retained some conscience.

Knowing to restrain Old Mrs. Mu, Chen Hong dressed and grabbed Mr. Mu’s hand outside.

"Father, save me... save me... Mother wants to kill me."

Rushing out, Old Mrs. Mu’s eyes were bloodshot, hair disheveled, looking utterly deranged.

Especially when she saw Chen Hong clutching Mr. Mu’s hand, she went completely insane.

The Old Mu Family was a chaotic mess.

The planned cooking and fieldwork were also disrupted.

Mr. Mu, tired of the chaos, yelled at those in the yard.

"Argue one more time, and get out immediately. All this fighting, the family is coming apart because of it. Doing nothing? All of you just get to work in the fields!"
