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

Chapter 502 - 499: Mr. Mu Borrowing Money from Shuangshuang (Update 5)

"Old woman, you’re confused!"Smart as Mr. Mu was, he had already figured out the whole story.

Mu Shuangshuang did too.

But what upset Old Mrs. Mu the most was Mu Dazhong daring to pull tricks right under her nose.

"Mu Dazhong, get over here!" Old Mrs. Mu shouted furiously, and the originally fleeing Mu Dazhong was scared out of his wits.

He thought that with so many people around, no one would notice how much gift money the Old Mu Family had actually given, which is why he dared to do that.

Even if the Old Yu Family found out later that they only wrote down fifteen wen, they wouldn’t really bring just that much when the Fifth and Xiangxiang get married in the future.

Because her mother would definitely make a scene!

"Mom, I was just possessed for a moment, I didn’t mean it." Mu Dazhong ran over to apologize.

Mr. Mu kicked him to the ground.

"Hurry and explain to everyone, this was all your doing." Old Mrs. Mu said.

But by this point, was there any use in saying this?

The guests wouldn’t believe it, and neither would the people of the Old Yu Family.

"Grandpa, Fengzi and I will help you inside to rest, don’t go back today!" Mu Shuangshuang said to Mr. Mu.

Mr. Mu nodded weakly.

With the help of two people, Mr. Mu finally left that troublesome place.

Once in the guest room of the Old Yu Family, Mr. Mu still hadn’t recovered his senses, and Mu Shuangshuang poured him a cup of tea. She hadn’t eaten yet either and was a bit hungry, so she wanted to eat first before anything else.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Mu stopped her.

"Shuang girl, stay and chat with your grandpa for a bit!"

Mr. Mu was very fragile at this moment and just wanted someone to comfort him.

Mu Shuangshuang thought for a while, and said to Lu Yuanfeng: "Fengzi, you go eat outside first, I’ll chat with my grandpa for a while."

Lu Yuanfeng nodded and went out.

The room arranged for guests by the Old Yu Family was in the west wing, and the bridal chamber was in the east wing, not far apart, so the sound of music could still be heard.

"Grandpa, what do you want to say? Shuangshuang is listening!"

Mr. Mu sighed and said, "I know today was embarrassing too, but it really wasn’t my idea. Your grandma made a decision on her own, changing fifty wen to thirty, and your second uncle halved it again..."

Talking about it, Mr. Mu felt ashamed.

Even ordinary people wouldn’t put only fifteen wen, not to mention Mr. Mu and the Old Yu Family were in-laws.

This matter, anyone would think that the Old Mu Family was unfair, especially since the Old Mu Family brought a whole family and ate and drank without restraint. Most people would have been ashamed to death long ago!

But those culprits acted as if nothing happened.

"Grandpa, Shuangshuang knows about this. My dad, mom, and even my maternal family will understand!" Mu Shuangshuang nodded.

Mr. Mu’s face relaxed a little.

"I hope so. I’ve lost all face this lifetime. I just want to make some amends. Shuangshuang, help me write another gift ledger, write down second and fourth uncle’s names, each for twenty wen, and as for our Old Mu Family, add another thirty wen."

Mu Shuangshuang, thinking Mr. Mu would take out money for her when he spoke, saw that he didn’t move at all.

Mr. Mu didn’t have any money on him.

He said this intending to have his granddaughter lend it to him first, promising to repay it later.

"Shuangshuang, Grandpa didn’t bring any money out..."

The plea was so obvious, Mu Shuangshuang sighed; this issue indeed needed fixing, otherwise, Yu Si Niang’s reputation would be ruined.

"Grandpa, I’ll write the gift ledger for you first. As for the money... you give it back to me later!"

Hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words, Mr. Mu felt inexplicably more distressed in his chest.

Regardless of what was being said behind her, Mu Shuangshuang left the guest room straight away.

As soon as she stepped out, she ran into a waiting Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang.

Yu Si Niang rushed over anxiously and asked, "Shuangshuang, are you alright? I heard something went wrong at the front, is it solved now?"

Mu Shuangshuang explained everything to Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang.

Yu Si Niang asked, "Shuangshuang, are you seriously planning to let Grandpa pay you back that money?"

Even though it’s seventy-five wen, he’s still the old man, Shuangshuang’s grandpa.

"Of course, nobody’s money comes easy, if Grandpa’s borrowing from me, he has to pay it back, otherwise, don’t borrow at all!" Mu Shuangshuang’s attitude was firm, she didn’t care what Mr. Mu thought.

When he wanted to sell her back then, did he ever consider her feelings?

"Si Niang, don’t go soft-hearted. Today, we also got dragged into this matter. Second Brother, Fifth Brother, look at the words and actions of those people, even I feel uncomfortable seeing it, yet they act as if nothing’s wrong."

"If we don’t let them learn a lesson this time, our losses will be even greater in the future!"

The man earnestly persuaded Yu Si Niang, understanding the situation clearly.

He was very fortunate that they had divided the family.

Just having Second Brother and Fifth Brother’s family troubles around, even if the oldest brother succeeded, there would be no good days ahead.

If things weren’t handled right, the oldest brother’s achievements could be ruined by them.

Thinking about it made everything suddenly clear, like enlightenment.

"Mom, Dad speaks sense. This issue, if not addressed, will only lead to greater losses in the future. Grandpa must be made to feel the pain to be determined to manage things."

If the child is not taught, it’s the father’s fault.

The sons and daughters of the Old Mu Family ended up this way, Mr. Mu’s responsibility is significant.

And every time something happens, Mr. Mu just scolds a bit, and it’s over.

No one feels the pain, so they don’t remember.

It’s one thing to harm the people of the Old Mu Family, but if the third branch is harmed, it will be extremely unworthy.

Mu Shuangshuang firmly wanted to prevent this kind of thing from cropping up.

"Okay! Let’s handle it this way. Shuangshuang, first go and write the gift ledger for your grandpa. If he doesn’t acknowledge it, your dad and you will go ask for the money together. Dad doesn’t believe your grandpa won’t give it!"

"Okay!"

At this moment, Mu Shuangshuang felt that her father was no longer a pushover.

He knew how to make important decisions when it mattered, not just relying on her, the daughter.

Yu Si Niang also felt happy that her man’s strong character meant she could also stand firm at the in-laws’.

The third branch could live well without depending on anyone.

"Alright, dad, mom, you go rest. I guess the revelry in the eastern wing is over."

"Good, Shuangshuang and Fengzi, don’t tire yourselves out. For the midnight snack, ask mom, I can make it just as well and won’t embarrass you!" Yu Si Niang said confidently.

"Haha, then mom, don’t oversleep, I’ll come get you later!"

With that, Mu Shuangshuang headed to the front yard, found her Aunt-in-law, and together with Old Sun updated the gift ledger.

After all that, she was starving, so hungry that she felt light-headed while walking.

She originally thought Lu Yuanfeng had finished eating, but he was still waiting for her, and at that moment, a warm feeling slowly flowed through Mu Shuangshuang’s heart.
