Turns out, there’s nothing left, and I just remembered, last time Da De went to the Capital, we spent fifty silver taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, our Jin family is going through a difficult time, I’m afraid we can’t come up with these two silver taels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Can’t come up with it? Dear mother-in-law, you’re not joking, right? Your husband is a teacher in town and collects quite a bit of gifts every year. Just two measly silver taels and you can’t come up with it?\" Old Mrs. Mu exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, Old Mrs. Mu kept looking back and forth at Old Mrs. Jin’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in front of her was adorned with gold and silver, yet claimed she didn’t have two silver taels—who would believe such words?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dear sister, that’s not how it is, our whole Jin family is relying on Yinyin’s dad for work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though we live in the village, we don’t farm! Unlike your family, who are self-sufficient, plowing in the fields.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Old Mrs. Mu, these words from Old Mrs. Jin felt like a slap in her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without further ado, she stopped being polite with Old Mrs. Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, if you don’t want to shell out these two silver taels, that’s fine! Dan, go to the room and grab a pound of that tea for me to take away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tea at ten silver taels per tael, a pound is worth a hundred silver taels, not bad!\" Old Mrs. Mu shouted to Mu Dandan beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandma...\" Mu Dandan called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her heart, she was utterly resentful of Old Mrs. Mu, who even wanted the tea leaves, was there such a shameless person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Jin was taken aback; she hadn’t understood Old Mrs. Mu’s meaning at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking about tea at ten silver taels per tael—was she referring to their family’s tea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dandan, what’s going on here?\" Old Mrs. Jin turned and asked Mu Dandan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Dandan, fearing that Old Mrs. Jin might spill the beans, thought for a moment and said to her, \"Grandmother, do you actually have silver? If you do, give it to my grandma!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Jin certainly did have silver, but her daughter wouldn’t let her give it, so she couldn’t take it out even if she had it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dandan, grandmother doesn’t have silver. Your grandma wants tea, just give it to her! Give it to her and let her leave!\" said Old Mrs. Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh dear mother-in-law, what’s with letting me leave; are you treating me like a beggar?\" Old Mrs. Mu exclaimed, hands on hips, raising her voice abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that Old Mrs. Jin realized she spoke out in anger, saying whatever came to mind right in front of Old Mrs. Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Jin managed a smile and explained, \"Dear sister, don’t be upset. I was just joking around with Dandan earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The midday meal, I’ve already instructed my eldest daughter-in-law to prepare, so stay here and eat lunch today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Mu snorted coldly, ignored Old Mrs. Jin, and instead urged Mu Dandan to fetch the tea leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Dandan had no choice but to go to the backyard to seek advice from Mrs. Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Mu Dandan’s words, Mrs. Jin was so furious she nearly grinded her silver teeth to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh! Truly shameless goods, even sucking the blood of my maiden family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cursing Old Mrs. Mu, she also inwardly cursed Mu Dade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this life, Jinyin’er tirelessly worked like a horse for Mu Dade, for the main family, yet he conspired with that vixen and threw her into prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these grudges, Mrs. Jin remembered well, just waiting for Mu Dade to return, so she could let the whole world know Mu Dade stole the County Magistrate’s concubine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, what should we do? Give the tea leaves or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Dandan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole Jin family was particular; even tea leaves were good things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone sold tea leaves by the tael, no one did it by the pound, only her grandma, that bumpkin, would talk about tea leaves by the pound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t give it. Head to Old Liang’s place; I recall they have a small tea garden with some rough tea. Get a pound of tea leaves from them, and give them twenty copper coins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Mrs. Jin handed over twenty copper coins to Mu Dandan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Dandan joyfully headed off to buy tea leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the front yard, ever since Old Mrs. Jin said she had no money to give, Old Mrs. Mu stopped being polite with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything that was brought out, if it could be eaten, she ate it; if it couldn’t be eaten, she packed it all in the bag she brought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, fruits, snacks, and all sorts had filled up half a bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all to bring back to feed her daughter Xiangxiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, Mrs. Jin still couldn’t come out, while the Jin family slaughtered an old hen to make soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They said it was to let Old Mrs. Mu have a taste; in reality, it was to show her who’s boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To let her know the Jin family’s life wasn’t any worse than Old Mu Family’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Mu acted as if unbothered, not hurrying to leave even after lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She plopped down in Jin family’s main room; the daughters-in-law and young kids dared not enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By evening, Old Mrs. Jin was worn out and had her eldest daughter-in-law ask Old Mrs. Mu when she planned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out Old Mrs. Mu said she wasn’t leaving. The Jin family was living well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Jin was no fool; she heard the old woman’s implication and knew she was determined not to leave without getting silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no one could outwit Old Mrs. Mu, so she gritted her teeth and handed over two taels of silver from the storeroom to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Mu collected the silver, took the tea leaves, and packed the bag, heading back to Er Gui Village!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the backyard, Mrs. Jin was on the verge of a meltdown, especially when she heard Old Mrs. Jin say they’d given up two silver taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, why did you give her the money? You know well she only came for the money,\" Mrs. Jin scolded Old Mrs. Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yinyin, there was no choice in this matter; your mother’s nothing but a rogue. The hen at noon, each of us barely got a sip of soup; the rest all found its way into her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the fruits and snacks I brought out, all ended up in her bag!\" Old Mrs. Jin, as she spoke, wore a look of disgust, revealing just how much she loathed Old Mrs. Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, now you finally understand the life I’ve been living? Back at Old Mu Family’s, she made me empty the urine bucket, something I’d never done even in my own home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That old woman, just like you said, is a rogue, a thug, even Da De despises her!\" Mrs. Jin was eager to vent, spilling all the words she’d never said before to Old Mrs. Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Jin felt heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I used to think Da De was someone worth entrusting for life, but it turns out he’s just indulged by his mother’s ways, nothing good!\" Old Mrs. Jin sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Mom! The old woman is hard to control, but Da De is someone I still have the ability to control, as long as he dares to come back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Mu hummed a little tune, reached the town, rented two horse carriages, and returned to Old Mu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving home, she naturally bragged to Mr. Mu about managing to squeeze two silver taels from the Jin family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Mu hadn’t gone along, so he didn’t know what truly transpired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But getting the money, after all, was a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the doubt in Old Mrs. Mu’s mind, she still shared with Mr. Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old man, today in Jin Family Village, I saw a figure in passing, looked just like the eldest daughter-in-law!\" Old Mrs. Mu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The eldest daughter-in-law went to the Capital, didn’t she? You must have mistaken,\" Mr. Mu paused his pipe-smoking hand and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>",1423,"2026-06-10T06:02:00.272Z",1,"novelbin.me","458eaf96ccd2687f9836a8c825722e42213783c28107f01169fa9bfcb65c2203","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-1038","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-1036",1282,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-cover.jpg"]
