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

"Xiaxia, a woman has two chances in this life to change her destiny. The first is being born! We can’t change our birth, whether we’re born into wealth or poverty; it’s already determined!

As for the second chance, it’s marriage. Marrying an ideal husband can elevate your status and bring glory to your family.

Your father and mother have worked hard all their lives. If you could marry a worthy husband and change their fate, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"

Mrs. Jin had long grasped the psychology of the members of the Old Mu Family very accurately.

The second branch of the family is greedy; any matter involving money can drive them crazy.

The third branch, she currently couldn’t deal with, but one day, she would completely trample them underfoot.

Especially that little brat, she would make that brat wish she were dead!

As for the fourth branch, although they’re not greedy, Mu Dajiang is determined to marry his daughter into the city to escape the fate of being a farmer!

This wish, Jinyin’er was certain to help accomplish.

Mu Xiaxia was somewhat swayed by the words!

Even if she didn’t consider it for herself, she had to consider it for her parents.

Her parents wanted to stay in the county seat, to become city people, and not remain peasants all their lives.

Perhaps... she could try trusting this aunt in front of her?

The so-called ’boiling a frog in warm water’—unbeknownst to her, more and more of Mrs. Jin’s virtues filled Mu Xiaxia’s mind, while the bad deeds she had once done started to be forgotten!

"Aunt, I..."

"Don’t worry, leave this matter to your aunt, I’ll handle it for you! How about this, tomorrow at noon, we go to Jiu Si Xuan, and I’ll have a matchmaker bring a young gentleman to meet you, okay?"

"Jiu... Jiu Si Xuan?" Mu Xiaxia opened her mouth in astonishment.

The boss of that place was introduced to her by Sister Shuangshuang.

She was able to work part-time at the Red House because of that introduction, and the salary was quite good.

At least, after last month’s salary, even after buying medicine for her father, there was still some left. But to save money, she only asked the landlady for medicine money, saving the rest with her.

However, she couldn’t tell the Old Mu Family about these things.

"Fear not, although it costs a bit there, as long as your aunt is around, you definitely won’t have to pay!"

Mrs. Jin mistook Mu Xiaxia’s surprise for fear.

After all, Jiu Si Xuan is the finest restaurant in the whole county. Apart from Jiu Si Xuan, the other restaurants really don’t compare.

Having been in the county for some time, Mu Xiaxia was naturally aware of Jiu Si Xuan.

She had no money and was afraid of being made to pay if she went there, which was why she was scared.

Mu Xiaxia nodded randomly, not daring to tell Mrs. Jin that her reaction wasn’t due to fear at all.

...

After applying the medicine, Mu Xiaxia left Mrs. Jin’s room.

She still had to work, so she couldn’t stay in Mrs. Jin’s room the whole time.

As for Xiao Chu, Mu Xiaxia gritted her teeth and carried him out.

Mrs. Jin maintained a kind smile on her face, and once Mu Xiaxia and Mu Xiaochu left, she tore off all the bedsheets.

Mu Xiaxia carried Mu Xiaochu back to the main hall. At this moment, the family meeting had concluded.

Old Mrs. Mu’s face was bright red.

Mu Dajiang’s face was pale, and his lips bluish.

As for Mr. Mu, he appeared furious, while Mu Dade still had a smile on his face.

Upon seeing Mu Xiaxia, Mu Dade quickly came forward, "Xiaxia, why not let Xiaochu sleep longer in my room? Carrying him like this, what if he catches a cold?"

Mu Xiaxia shook her head, "It’s alright, Uncle! I’ll hold onto Xiaochu."

"Ha, holding him? I think this girl just wants to be lazy and not make breakfast!"

Old Mrs. Mu shouted loudly!

"Eldest son, listen to what she’s saying. I told you your daughter can’t change her ways. I just said not to be so harsh, and now she’s immediately targeting Xiaxia."

Mr. Mu chimed in.

"You..." Old Mrs. Mu got angry, but eventually, at Mu Dade’s signaling glance, she stifled what she wanted to say.

"I’ll go tell the second daughter-in-law to make breakfast!" said Mu Dade.

At that moment, Old Mrs. Mu said, "What on earth is Qin Xianglan doing? Not making breakfast, not making lunch, not making dinner, wasn’t she supposed to serve us as a maid?"

"Mother, Qin Xianglan no longer eats or stays with us, how can you still make her your maid?"

Mu Dade spoke up to defend Qin Xianglan.

"Hmph, none of them can be commanded, if they can’t be moved, I might as well let them sit in my position as the matriarch!"

After speaking, Old Mrs. Mu angrily left the main hall.

Presumably, she wanted to get to Mrs. Liu first to have her make a meal.

Before long, the storage room where Mrs. Liu was erupted with shrill curses.

Listening to the words, Mr. Mu’s face turned alternately green and white!

After breakfast, Mu Xiaxia went to work, Mu Dajiang felt a bit better and wandered to the pier.

As for Mrs. Liu and Gou Dan, they were lazily hanging around the house as usual!

It’s unclear where they got a handful of seeds, but Mrs. Liu cracked them while cursing, "Who knows where that dead man Mu Dazhong has gone, abandoning the kid and the old woman!

This vile creature, he was always irresponsible, and now he leaves his old spouse effectively widowed at home. Heartless thing, worthless thing..."

Mrs. Liu continued to curse nonstop.

Little did she know, far away in Yangcheng County, Mu Dazhong indeed sneezed countless times.

Alongside Mu Dazhong, Mu Danian snickered constantly, saying, "Second brother, your wife must be thinking of you, that’s why you’re sneezing so much!"

"Hmph, that wicked woman only knows how to hold me back!" Mu Dazhong said angrily, then added, "Once we complete this deal, it will be time to return to the county!"

Since stealing and selling the village’s chickens to raise money to go to the county to reunite with Mu Dade, Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian encountered Mu Dazhong’s childhood playmate Ah Bao in town.

Ah Bao talked about some businesses he wanted their company on, promising substantial earnings.

Together, Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian are daring enough to do anything for money.

Moreover, this time, they were together.

So, practically without asking what they’d do, Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian agreed.

But this venture indeed made them money.

By now, combined, Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian had more than ten taels of silver, enough to enjoy a comfortable life back in the county for some time.

Regarding what business they were actually doing, both brothers were clueless; they only knew they’d accompany Ah Bao around the docks and warehouses daily.

During the day, they’d watch the goods, and at night, they’d move them.

Currently, Ah Bao had asked Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian to move goods; inevitably, they became more wary.
