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

Chapter 497 - 494: Too Painful to Watch (Seventh Update)

Mr. Yu let out a long sigh of relief, finally he didn’t have to deal with the people from Old Mu Family.He quickly said, "Old brother, it’s time to start the banquet. I have other matters to attend to. Please enjoy the meal and drinks."

Mr. Yu went straight to Mu Shuangshuang and asked, "Shuangshuang, can we start the banquet?"

"Grandpa, yes, let’s get the dishes served!"

With a shout from Mr. Yu, the young wives hired from the village went up and started serving dishes one by one to the tables.

Mrs. Lin was also among them, unlike others who were happily doing the work, she didn’t want to do it at all.

Why should she serve dishes? They’re so greasy and heavy.

While complaining, Mrs. Lin had no choice but to follow the village wives to serve dishes.

Passing by Old Mu Family’s table, Mrs. Lin felt someone pat her butt, and turned to see everyone from Old Mu Family staring at the dish in her hand, drooling.

She suddenly felt disdain for Yu Si Niang’s in-laws.

A whole family coming to eat and drink, don’t they feel ashamed?

Pfft! Filthy folks.

"Sister-in-law, you’re so pretty, serve our table first," Mu Danian shamelessly said.

Mu Danian was good-looking, and his sweet talk made the village wives spin around him, Li Juhua was no exception.

Though she kept a stern face, she placed the dish on Old Mu Family’s table, putting a big bowl of meat right in front of Mu Danian, then went on to serve elsewhere.

"Not bad, Fifth, you’re popular with everyone. That woman doesn’t even know you yet brings you dishes," Mu Dazhong exclaimed, but mostly out of jealousy.

Mu Dazhong was also attractive, why didn’t any women fancy him?

Facing Mrs. Lin’s yellow-facedness every day, Mu Dazhong also wanted to hug a young village woman for some fun, ideally someone else’s, that’d be perfect.

"Brother, you need to learn more, women love to hear sweet words, pamper them often."

Mu Danian raised his eyebrows, smiling slyly. He didn’t expect to find a woman with such a big butt in Yu Family Village, the flesh felt soft to the touch.

But this woman did enjoy hearing sweet words.

Dishes came one after another, each time it was Li Juhua delivering them, and with each dish, she would receive Mu Danian’s praise, talking about beauty like a celestial being, a fairy descending to earth, and alike.

Delivering dishes, Mrs. Lin felt rejuvenated, her face beaming, Yu Erlang finished doing chores in the backyard, seeing his wife in such a flirtatious mode, he couldn’t hold back.

"Talented lady, what’s going on, why are you smiling so brightly?"

Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes dramatically, "What’s it got to do with you? Your sixth brother is getting married, why don’t you go and find him, leave me be? And maybe check out Yu Family Village’s number one beauty, see if you can bring her into your bed."

"You... you... can you even say such things?" Yu Erlang was so angry his nose crooked.

His hands clenched into fists, wanting to hit the woman before him.

But today is his brother’s wedding day, he can’t!

"I can say anything, Yu Erlang, I tell you, I’m married to your family, not to serve your parents. Either give me the manager’s rights to the tea garden, or I’m leaving!"

The apron on her clothes was dropped heavily onto Yu Erlang, Mrs. Lin stomped into the backyard in anger.

Luckily, no outsiders saw the situation here, everyone was busy eating, otherwise, who knows what kind of ruckus might have occurred.

Yu Erlang looked apologetically at Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.

"Shuangshuang, do you need more help? Second uncle is here to help."

Mu Shuangshuang shook her head, her impression of this second uncle was good, just that he listened to his wife too much.

Mrs. Lin was very fierce, speaking and acting without thinking, pity her second uncle, so honest and hardworking, yet being bullied like this.

"Second uncle, all the dishes have been served, you go eat, we don’t have a second round at lunch."

Old Yu Family made sure the relatives enjoyed the meal, having all the help not go hungry, hence serving everyone at once, which was why Yu Liulang built a pavilion.

However, the evening meal would be served in turns, as there were a dozen tables including villagers and relatives, worried they wouldn’t handle it in time.

"Alright then, you and Fengzi also eat early, I’ll go find a spot for lunch first."

Mu Shuangshuang waved her hand. "No need, no need, Fengzi and I will eat right here."

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t want to join the crowd, not getting to eat much anyway.

She reserved a bit of every dish for herself, and since no one was in the kitchen, it was perfect for the two of them.

"Fengzi, let’s take our food and head to the kitchen."

Lu Yuanfeng nodded heavily, he actually preferred eating with Shuangshuang outside, just the two of them, undisturbed.

In the kitchen, Mu Shuangshuang kept placing slices of meat into Lu Yuanfeng’s bowl.

"Fengzi, you really worked hard today, it was basically you cooking towards the end."

Seeing him drenched in sweat, Mu Shuangshuang looked very empathetic.

"It’s okay, I’m strong, can handle lots of work," Lu Yuanfeng shook his head, "You should eat more meat, being so thin, can’t be good."

"Haha, I’m fine, you don’t get fat from eating one meal,"

As soon as Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, there were more pieces of meat in her bowl.

"Not in one meal, we’ll eat a bit more each time, eventually you’ll gain weight."

Lu Yuanfeng’s words made Mu Shuangshuang feel very moved.

Quite a few people cared about her eating and drinking, but none made her feel like this like him.

"Fengzi, we..."

Just as Mu Shuangshuang was about to speak, Yuanbao rushed in from outside.

"Sister Shuangshuang, go take a look outside, I’m laughing to death," Yuanbao laughed, holding his mouth.

"What happened?" Mu Shuangshuang was puzzled, but still followed outside.

It was nothing really, just the people from Old Mu Family fighting over dishes.

All the other tables were quite restrained, at least giving others a chance to grab some food.

But Old Mu Family was completely different.

Perhaps because last time, Xiangxiang alone ate a bowl of braised pork, making others miss out.

As soon as the dishes were fully served, the others swept down, grabbing bowls and scooping into their bowls, stacking high until they could no longer fit.

In a blink, a plate was emptied.

In just that short moment, the table was left with only empty plates and food scraps.

People around started to talk.

Originally, grabbing food during a meal wasn’t much, but since it’s outside, with so many eyes watching, shouldn’t one be more restrained?

So someone couldn’t stand it and argued with Old Mu Family people.

The argument almost escalated to a quarrel.

They even claimed people were deliberately bothering their meal.

Mu Dazhong stiffened his neck and shouted directly at that person.

"This is my sister-in-law’s family; I eat whatever I want, what’s it to you, old man?

What’s wrong, can’t eat yourself, so won’t let others eat? I tell you, today I’m not just eating, but eating a lot!"
