How could it be easily produced?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were Mu Dade’s first time taking the exam, it would be understandable, but how many times has he taken it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Dade became a scholar at fifteen, and now at thirty-one, he’s spent sixteen years striving for one title of scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixteen years, enough for the poor wife to become a respected woman, yet Mu Dade selfishly insists on taking the exam, asking for fifty silver pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps his virtues are too poor, even Heaven refuses to let him pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the Old Mu Family through these years, everyone tightening their belts, and the result is this, Mu Shuangshuang feels it’s not worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa, would you like to eat something to fill your stomach? I know there’s a place selling buns ahead, two for a penny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang was referring, of course, to the bun shop she’d visited several times; after such a long walk, it’s normal to feel hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go back.\" Mr. Mu shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Mu held onto those thirty copper coins, planning to save them for Mu Dade’s examination expenses, and felt reluctant to spend even on a bun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor Shuangshuang couldn’t leave him to buy something to eat, but luckily, they encountered Lu Yuanfeng on the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The town is not very big, yet some people always seem to run into each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Mu, Shuangshuang, are you heading back?\" Lu Yuanfeng, pushing a wheelbarrow, approached them proactively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lu Yuanfeng, would you like to join us?\" Mu Shuangshuang spoke while signaling to Lu Yuanfeng and touching her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanfeng immediately realized that Shuangshuang was hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Mu, Shuangshuang, could you wait for me a moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanfeng’s attitude was sincere, so even if Mr. Mu was unwilling, he could only nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanfeng went ahead and bought ten buns, spending five copper coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, he might have hesitated, but these days he and Shuangshuang had earned quite a bit of silver. With Shuangshuang saying she was hungry, he naturally didn’t hesitate to buy them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The buns wrapped in oiled paper were still steaming when bought, and the previously indifferent Mr. Mu suddenly felt hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Yuanfeng was, after all, a child. Mr. Mu found it awkward to eat while asked to do so, but fortunately, Lu Yuanfeng was considerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Mu, I bought a lot of buns, please have some.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of ten buns, Lu Yuanfeng gave Mr. Mu three, kept three for himself, and four for Mu Shuangshuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Mu observed quietly but felt resentful; it wasn’t that he necessarily wanted to eat the bun, but he was the eldest among the three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shuangshuang’s grandfather, he felt it was right to eat more than Shuangshuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn’t about being selfish, it’s just how it should be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shuangshuang, won’t you be overstuffed eating so many? Yuanfeng’s buns should be eaten more by him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unjustly criticized, Mu Shuangshuang rolls her eyes internally, just because she ate one more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa, since Lu Yuanfeng gave them to me, it means he doesn’t want to eat that much. I’ve walked a long way, I’m truly hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, I don’t intend to finish all of them. Little Zhi and Xiao Han have never had buns, I want to save some for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being directly refused, Mr. Mu’s expression flickered between shades of green and white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this incident, he remained quiet the entire way while Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng occasionally exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two pushing the wheelbarrow found amusement in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they reached the village, it wasn’t late—not long after the lunch hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Lu Yuanfeng bought several buns allowing her to stave off hunger, or she would have surely starved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang ate two meat buns, keeping the remaining two tucked away for Little Zhi and Xiao Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she reached the village entrance, she saw Little Zhi with disheveled hair, crying her eyes out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang rushed over, heart aching as she embraced Little Zhi. \"What’s wrong, who bullied you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Zhi was crying so hard she was almost breathless, hiccuping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Mu Shuangshuang’s embrace making her feel familiar, she wouldn’t have realized her sister, whom she’d waited so long for, had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... Sister, why did you come back so late, Daddy... coughed blood, Grandma bullied Daddy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wuwuwu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang’s face turned pale, as the meat buns she had in her pocket fell to the ground, rolling a few times before landing in the muddy earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang’s body trembled slightly as she asked, \"Little Zhi, don’t cry, tell Sister what happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Mu also panicked; Old Three coughed blood and he was gone for just a morning. How did another incident occur at home?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Zhi, tell Grandpa what exactly happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after mentioning Mu Dashan coughing blood, Little Zhi couldn’t speak another word, as if her throat was locked, opening mouth several times without a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang handed Little Zhi to Lu Yuanfeng and said to him, \"Help me to take Little Zhi to your house, have Yuanbao take good care of her, I will come to pick her up in the afternoon, meanwhile, go to Zhang Huai Shu’s place and ask him to come over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Mu Shuangshuang quickly rushed towards her home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Mu followed behind, almost running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they reached the Old Mu Family, both were soaked through, Mu Shuangshuang looking like she had been fished out of the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Old Mu Family, everything was peaceful; Old Mrs. Mu was entertaining Matchmaker Sun with coarse tea from Mu Dade and the melon she’d secretly hidden a few days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a grand manner, Matchmaker Sun, after listening to Old Mrs. Mu, promptly took out the wedding book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Sister-in-law, all you need is for Dashan to sign this, and I’ll take care of the rest with the Wang Family myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matchmaker Sun, holding a piece of silk cloth, spoke as she laughed, occasionally swaying it with a charming demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang’s first act was to head home, finding Mu Dashan lying on the bed, ashen-faced, hopeless; if that matchmaker came in, forced by his mother, even if he died, he wouldn’t sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, tell me everything that happened this morning in full detail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t bothered to inquire about Mu Dashan’s condition since Zhang Huai Shu would soon arrive to attend to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed to deal with the Old Mu Family’s lot of rubbish first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Shuangshuang, Mr. Mu’s first task was to go indoors and ask Old Mrs. Mu what happened, after all, Little Zhi claimed Old Mrs. Mu bullied Old Three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shuangshuang, it’s Dad’s fault. I was tricked by your aunt, she... she deceived me into signing a document that was actually meant to sell you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, that rogue Mrs. Jin really had such thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now your grandma found Matchmaker Sun to have me sign the wedding book, I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon speaking, Mu Dashan began to become agitated, his chest hurting once more; he breathed heavily, eyes bloodshot, looking terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, take a rest, I’ll deal with Aunt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Han, take good care of Dad, don’t let him get up. Until I come back, don’t let anyone in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Shuangshuang squinted as she returned to her room, took out a contract she’d prepared in advance, and headed towards Mrs. Jin’s room...\u003C\u002Fp>",1279,"2026-06-10T06:01:30.596Z",1,"novelbin.me","f25eef6aeb4695f961cd8017398bd2bc1c7bbd6e67ed955140d2190bf21106e2","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-135","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-133",1282,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-cover.jpg"]
