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

Chapter 498 - 495 Poor Man, Poor Ambition (One More Update)

"Wow, you think you’re right now? Your table full of old and weak women and children came over to freeload, really treating someone else’s home like your own."If you want to have a feast, this is not the way to do it. Poor people with poor spirits!" That person shouted loudly.

"Who are you calling poor? Make yourself clear."

That statement about being poor hit Old Mrs. Mu’s sore spot. Originally watching from the side for fun, Old Mrs. Mu stuck her hand on her waist, looking like she was ready to fight.

"Old hag, I wasn’t talking about you. Why are you butting in? I’m here to teach your unruly son a lesson for you. You don’t know how to discipline him, so I’m helping out without charging you." The man rolled up his sleeves, completely dismissing Old Mrs. Mu.

"Pah, what do you think you are? My son doesn’t need you to discipline him."

Old Mrs. Mu spat and cursed loudly.

The relatives of the Yu Family were also very angry, both parties glaring at each other, neither willing to back down.

The tension was rising.

Mu Shuangshuang saw the situation and realized a fight was indeed about to break out. Looking around, she couldn’t see Mr. Mu, no wonder Old Mu Family was in chaos. The anchor wasn’t there to stabilize things.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t know that back when the dishes were being served, when Mu Danian groped Mrs. Li’s butt, Mr. Mu was having a stomach ache and went to the bathroom, still not out yet.

Without Mr. Mu, everyone naturally acted recklessly.

Old Mrs. Mu only cared about Mu Xiangxiang having eaten or not, no one else cared.

"Shuangshuang, we can’t ignore this matter, otherwise your sixth uncle’s wedding will be disrupted by them." Lu Yuanfeng said.

"Yeah, I haven’t seen my mom’s relatives now, I guess they’re all busy in the backyard, I have to go and check!"

Mu Shuangshuang rushed up, determined not to let a fight break out today. Otherwise, it would ruin her sixth uncle’s wedding and embarrass everyone in Old Mu Family, including herself.

"Grandma, what are you doing?"

Mu Shuangshuang approached with a smile. It was a joyous day, and she didn’t want to resort to violence.

Old Mrs. Mu snorted coldly from her nose, not wanting to pay attention to Mu Shuangshuang at all.

Mu Shuangshuang then talked to the relatives of the Yu Family.

Luckily, the relatives of the Yu Family were also reasonable people. Upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang was Yu Si Niang’s daughter, they exchanged polite words and left.

Quite unlike Old Mrs. Mu’s unforgiving style.

Not only refusing to let people leave, but also accusing them of a guilty conscience.

Mu Shuangshuang naturally stopped Old Mrs. Mu, so when the relatives from the Yu Family left, Old Mrs. Mu started to pick on Mu Shuangshuang.

"You brat, you actually help outsiders and not us from Old Mu Family. You ungrateful little creature, your conscience has been eaten by a dog!" Old Mrs. Mu cursed loudly.

"Grandma, if I hadn’t intervened earlier, you would have started a fight with my maternal relatives. What exactly are you trying to do today?"

First, a crowd rushed in, drove out the guests, and claimed seats.

Then, the whole family snatched dishes.

Now they’re fighting with Yu Family relatives, and even wanting to curse at her.

All these occurrences made Mu Shuangshuang feel that Old Mu Family was deliberately here to cause trouble today.

"Grandma, today is the Yu Family’s joyous occasion, everyone is happy, are you really trying to steal the spotlight here?

Don’t say I’m biased or heartless, today we have to differentiate the priorities, and given everyone’s watching, it’s not only my face on the line, it’s our entire Old Mu Family.

Also, my eldest uncle, even if he becomes an official later, but once people know his family started a fight over some dishes, how will his colleagues view him?

Don’t say you don’t care, my uncle has to do well himself, but promotion requires efforts and coordination from all sides. Any blemish will halt his progress!"

Mu Shuangshuang always reasoned with people who could understand reason.

With Old Mu Family, she only wanted to deal with them using fists.

Unfortunately, there’s always a time when someone can’t handle the situation.

Old Mrs. Mu’s face turned the color of pig liver because of Mu Shuangshuang’s words.

But she couldn’t find a reason to rebut.

Everything related to Mu Dade seemed like something stuck in her throat.

She stood there helplessly, her eyes slightly glaring, until Mr. Mu came back from the bathroom, looking at the empty bowls on the table, then at the heaps of dishes in his sons’ and daughters-in-law’s bowls, Mr. Mu was furious.

"You all..."

"Grandpa, today is my sixth uncle’s big day, whatever’s wrong, we’ll talk about it later at home, everyone’s watching us, let’s not get angry first."

Mu Shuangshuang stopped Mr. Mu’s impulse to lose his temper.

Now is not the time to lecture but to let Mr. Mu’s table finish eating and find a place to hide quickly.

Mr. Mu listened to Mu Shuangshuang, sighed, and sat down.

The eyes behind him still glaring viciously, Mr. Mu was quite helpless.

But he could only brace himself, as there was nothing left on the table to eat except a bowl of white rice, just as Mr. Mu thought this would be his lunch, suddenly a bowl of vegetables appeared in front of him.

He turned to see Mu Shuangshuang standing by the table.

"Grandpa, quickly eat, later go find my second uncle to arrange a resting place, he’s in charge of that today."

After speaking, Mu Shuangshuang returned to the kitchen.

Busy all morning, Mu Shuangshuang was indeed hungry.

The oddities of Old Mu Family weren’t easy, but unfortunately her parents couldn’t involve in these matters, thinking about it, Mu Shuangshuang decided to let her grandfather watch over this group, who knows what shenanigans they might cause.

Entering the kitchen, Lu Yuanfeng added more dishes for her, filling her bowl thoroughly.

"Hurry and eat, let’s rest for a while after, then prepare the food again in the afternoon."

Tasks like fetching and greeting guests don’t require Mu Shuangshuang, she and Lu Yuanfeng just need to manage the kitchen area.

Fortunately, the Da Ning Dynasty’s wedding ceremony is at night, otherwise Mu Shuangshuang would definitely not have the chance to see Feng Xiaohua enter the door.

"Fengzi, rest later as well. I reckon we’ll have to make supper for those people tonight, and it’ll be a good time to ask the village head of Yu Family Village if anyone has seen your mother."

Cooking for a banquet to earn money is just one purpose for Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.

The other purpose is to help find someone.

Many hands make light work, they’ll find her eventually.

"Shuangshuang, thank you!" Lu Yuanfeng grinned slightly.

Lately, Lu Yuanfeng had been smiling a lot more often, all because of Shuangshuang’s presence.

"Don’t mention it between us, we’ll keep looking like this for now, if that doesn’t work, we’ll climb over Niuwei Mountain ourselves and search the other side. I think your mother might be there."

This had occurred to Lu Yuanfeng before, he has a plan, but now is not the time to talk about it, let’s deal with this matter first.
