What could he even do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you should apologize, beg Old Zhang to forgive you, that’s the only way we can save our girl’s life!\" In front of everyone, that was what Mr. Mu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Mu of course refused. She was the county magistrate’s mother, her status was far above these nobodies who grubbed in the dirt—why should she apologize to them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t. I didn’t do anything wrong!\" Old Mrs. Mu said stubbornly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Mr. Mu heard that, his whole face turned purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this time Mu Dajiang had been carrying Mu Xiangxiang on his back, and he didn’t know where the courage suddenly came from, but he abruptly carried her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"Since Mother doesn’t want Xiangxiang to live, then I’ll carry her back to where we brought her from and let her live or die on her own!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Mu Dajiang finished speaking, Old Mrs. Mu jumped to her feet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fourth, you put Xiangxiang down this instant, you... how dare you turn against me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Mu shouted from behind, but Mu Dajiang didn’t stop at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran toward the Old Mu Family’s place, clearly intending to throw Mu Xiangxiang back to where she had been before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing else to be done. To save Mu Xiangxiang’s life, Old Mrs. Mu had no choice but to apologize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Dajiang started walking back, but Zhang Huai Shu was still holding in a bellyful of anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn’t something you can just fix by apologizing! The girl is now critically ill, beyond saving. My skills are limited; I can’t cure her!\" Zhang Huai Shu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Zhang, just for the sake that we’re from the same village, please save her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiangxiang is a woman—long hair, short wit—she’s used to throwing her weight around and acting outrageous. I’ll apologize to you on her behalf. As for the medical fees, we won’t short you a single coin. Whatever you want us to do, we’ll do it. Will that do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now, when Mr. Mu spoke so humbly and low, did Zhang Huai Shu really get the sense that he was being begged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Huai Shu sighed. \"I had originally made up my mind not to save your girl! In my whole life I, Zhang Huai Shu, have saved more people than I can count, but the people of your Old Mu Family are the most stubborn, and the most over the line!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People like you will never have good karma, nor will you ever receive Heaven’s favor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a doctor’s heart is like that of a parent. Now that you’ve sent her to my door, what else can I do? Fine, fine, this will be the last time. If I ever treat your girl again, may I, Zhang Huai Shu, never die a good death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Huai Shu’s words were so blunt it made people feel ashamed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to this, Mr. Mu felt awful inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how awful he felt, he could only endure it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who told the other man to even go so far as to swear a poisonous oath?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Zhang, just name your price, I... I’ll count it as me begging you, you must cure my girl!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Huai Shu didn’t respond to Mr. Mu. He took Mu Xiangxiang’s pulse, then shook his head again and again. \"You’d better send her to the clinic in town. I really can’t treat her anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-you’re talking nonsense, you just don’t want to save Xiangxiang’s life! You... you’re vicious, black-hearted!\" Old Mrs. Mu started cursing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Mu Shuangshuang showed up outside Zhang Huai Shu’s courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, \"Grandma, after you made a scene and fooled around with Grandpa Zhang, he was still willing to feel Little Aunt’s pulse. That proves he truly wants to save her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why he’s powerless to turn the tide, don’t you already know? A doctor is human, not a god. There are illnesses he can treat, and ones he can’t!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I were you, I absolutely wouldn’t waste even a single moment here, because every extra word you say means my little aunt’s life becomes that much more at risk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the time comes, even if my little aunt dies, it will be because you personally delayed her treatment. If she dies, the one we’ll hold responsible is you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang had come because she’d heard Old Mrs. Mu had gone to make a fuss at Zhang Huai Shu’s place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Mu Xiangxiang’s condition, she actually understood more than Zhang Huai Shu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in modern times, there were even more girls like Mu Xiangxiang—wanting to keep their figure while still eating a lot, so they’d eat and then force themselves to vomit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, forcing themselves to vomit became a habit, and the burden on the stomach grew heavier and heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The side effects brought by forced vomiting became more and more obvious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big head, binge-eating, hoarse voice, and even their teeth were gradually corroded by stomach acid whenever they vomited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Xiangxiang’s current condition was already terminal. If this were in modern times, she might already be at the level of stomach cancer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of that was something the Old Mu Family people could understand, nor were they willing to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of what Mu Shuangshuang said, Old Mrs. Mu froze. It was quite a while before she came back to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old man, let’s hurry and send Xiangxiang to town. If we’re any later... it’ll be too late!\" Old Mrs. Mu said, her face crumpled in grief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Mr. Mu started flusteredly ordering people to go borrow a cart from the Old Wang Family or Fu Wujia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was running around in a mess, but they finally managed to borrow a cart and find a driver, and they sent Mu Xiangxiang off to town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following along with the Old Mu Family on this trip to town were Mu Dazhong, Mu Danian, and Old Mrs. Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Mr. Mu, for some reason he didn’t get on the cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he went into the third branch’s yard to look for Mu Shuangshuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, there was none of his usual lofty arrogance on Mr. Mu’s face. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he saw Mu Shuangshuang, he asked, \"Shuang, that speech Old Zhang gave just now, do you think it’s true as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[People like you will never have good karma, nor will you ever receive Heaven’s favor!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang glanced at Mr. Mu and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened today, who was right and who was wrong—you know that yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Little Aunt and Uncle Dali’s divorce, who was right and who was wrong—you know that too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you’ve indulged Grandma again and again, letting her make scenes again and again. I don’t even need to say it; you know very well how everyone talks about the Old Mu Family behind your backs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang truly didn’t want to go over these old, worn-out topics with Mr. Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Dade being a county magistrate was one thing, but the rest of the Old Mu Family still had to get at least a bit of good out of it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person is precious for knowing their own measure. If they lack even that bit of self-awareness, they can hardly be called human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of the Old Mu Family, aside from the fourth branch, were mostly selfish and self-serving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They always thought only of themselves, never of others!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Mr. Mu’s back couldn’t quite stay straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of many things, and his expression grew worse and worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, he finally asked, \"Rebuilding your kitchen must have cost quite a bit. In a bit I’ll bring over the money your father and mother used to give your grandmother and me as filial offerings and give it all to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for later on, just have your parents stop giving us money. We can still get by on our own!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Mu Shuangshuang, Mr. Mu’s words sounded more like an attempt to make amends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps, he was thinking of changing the Old Mu Family’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang shook her head. \"Once it’s given to you, Grandpa, it’s yours. I won’t take it back. Besides, Little Aunt is sick now, and who knows how much money she’ll need, so you’d better keep it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Mu fell silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he felt utterly miserable inside, especially when he thought about those things from the past...\u003C\u002Fp>",1468,"2026-06-10T06:02:09.521Z",1,"novelbin.me","31cf3cddee30a538e8c514f15cde7a545952734e65a9bd5b6df65bd3abdd6430","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-919","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-1267",1282,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-cover.jpg"]
