Are you just disregarding the old lady or do you need a broom to chase you out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Mu sat in the upper right corner; even in the presence of the family head, Mr. Mu, she had authority over the main room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, Mom, Shuangshuang woke up and I want to get her something to eat. It's okay if I don't eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bah, that stinky thing wants to eat too? Leave her hungry; if she doesn't get up herself, no one is to bring food, or I'll break their legs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Old Mrs. Mu spat like a fountain, and her saliva splashed into the bowl of meat-fried cucumbers nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Liu Jinhua, the wife of Mu Family's Fourth, stared at that bowl—the only meat dish in the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though scant in meat, it's far better than some fermented beans and dried wild veggies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Yu Si Niang entered, everyone was fixated on that plate of fried cucumbers and meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Mu Jingui, the six-year-old son of Mu Family's Second House, stared at the meat slices while drooling on his collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, can I just scoop a bowl of porridge for Shuangshuang? I won't eat dinner tonight either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Si Niang peacefully negotiated with Old Mrs. Mu, hoping her daughter could have some hot porridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yu Si Niang, are you deaf or looking for trouble here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What I say goes. If you don't leave, when the Third comes back, I'll make him divorce you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing she couldn't get food for her daughter, Yu Si Niang was still reluctant to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Mr. Mu, hoping he would speak for her daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third daughter-in-law, Shuangshuang's hands and feet aren't broken; why can't she get out of bed to eat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She's not some precious lady needing the whole family's service. When Dad and Mom are ill, they still get up to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we set this precedent, eventually that girl would have Dad and Mom under her thumb.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Jin, known as the fairest in the family, interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Family's eldest, Mu Dade, was Er Gui Village's only scholar, and because of this, five years ago when conscripting soldiers, each household had to send two men but their family only one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after several years, Mu Dade remained merely a scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless attempts at becoming a scholar, spending a lot yet never succeeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad!\" Yu Si Niang called out to Mr. Mu again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Mu registered Yu Si Niang's plea for help, but he couldn't intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This elder third daughter had already disgraced the Mu Family in the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the third daughter stirred things up again, the Mu Family would be in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Lin had been waiting for Mr. Mu to speak. Noticing his silence, she slammed her chopsticks down and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Out, out, out! No meals, what are you staring at? Don't block our light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your smelly girl just causes trouble, does nothing but eat; keeping her is worse than keeping a pig.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Mrs. Lin started pushing Yu Si Niang toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she touched Yu Si Niang's hand, Yu Si Niang swiftly slapped Mrs. Lin's wrist, causing her to wail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, that little brat hit me.\" Mrs. Lin raised her hand to show Old Mrs. Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, Old Mrs. Mu widened her eyes, her sparse eyebrows forming a straight line, ready to stand up and hit someone when Mr. Mu finally spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One meal won't starve anyone; Shuang made a mistake, and she should learn from it. Go back and talk to her properly; after acknowledging elders, this incident will be over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Mr. Mu's words, Yu Si Niang couldn't stay in the main room. She glanced longingly at the warm food on the table before heading back to her own room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Yu Si Niang left, everyone's gaze returned to the bowl of meat-fried cucumbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cured meat, red and white, gleamed with a layer of delicate lard, resembling a large agate under the daylight and refusing to let the eyes wander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing nearby, Mu Jingui licked the snot already flowing into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving a mark with his tongue, he reached with his greasy, dark hand, aiming directly for the meat slices in the fried cucumber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he touched the meat, Old Mrs. Mu's chopsticks struck his wrist where the veins bulged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Jingui immediately writhed in pain on the muddy ground, raising a cloud of dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the dust was about to fly toward the dish bowl, Old Mrs. Mu roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bah, you rascal, daring to steal food! If you fuss again, you'll sleep in the pigsty from tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Jingui finally calmed down; as he stood up, his eyes remained fixed on those pieces of cured meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, at the small Eight Immortals table, Mu Xiaozhi, Mu the Third's youngest daughter, stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm full, I'll go back to my room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Mu glanced over and saw not a grain of rice left in the earthenware bowl in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bowl seemed freshly washed, clean and tidy, so she nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Mu Xiaozhi left the main room, she pulled from her oversized sleeves a yellowish fist-sized bun and headed straight to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon opening her room's door, she rushed to Yu Si Niang and handed her the bun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, eat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Si Niang's vision blurred, her eyes immediately filling with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been blaming herself for not having anything for her elder daughter to eat, but now the younger one brought a bun, so Shuangshuang wouldn't have to go hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, Shuangshuang, eat this bun quickly before Grandma notices.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1141,"2026-06-10T06:01:30.280Z",1,"novelbin.me","c95a8a56bbf6840e40e905d726d3d2b2fd31c2cf555a88e8fe40817b16ce670c","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-7","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-5",1282,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-cover.jpg"]
