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

A job paying five taels a year could not be found even by lantern light; how did her foolish son reject that?

”Mother, don’t worry, that girl won’t find anyone else; in the end, she’ll have to ask me!

And there’s a reason I did this; think about it, if Mu Shuangshuang charges a child and I earn a tael;

if there are a dozen children, wouldn’t I earn more than ten taels a year?

In three years, not only would I have enough for the exam expenses but also enough for marriage and a large house for you!”

Chen Sheng unabashedly revealed his ambitions in front of the Chen family.

The Chen family praised Chen Sheng’s foresight, depending on him for their old age, bringing glory to the family, and more.

Yet none of the Chen family thought that whether Mu Shuangshuang came back or not, they were already struggling to make ends meet.

The rice of recent days was borrowed from neighbors; as long as Mu Shuangshuang didn’t come, they’d have to keep borrowing.

”Mother, now that Ah Sheng has prospects, our Chen family should celebrate, celebrate, kill the old hen in the backyard for Ah Sheng to nourish himself, what do you think?”

Mrs. Chen asked Mrs. Chen Senior.

Listening to the big promises painted by Chen Sheng, Mrs. Chen Senior didn’t hesitate and personally went to the backyard to slaughter the family’s only laying hen.

The old hen squawked mournfully as it was bled, the sound soon fading away!

...

...

Failing to find someone, Mu Shuangshuang could only head back, running into Lu Yuanfeng returning with the cart just as she reached Er Gui Village.

Liu Zian felt it inappropriate to visit Mu Shuangshuang’s grandmother’s house, so he bid farewell at the village entrance and returned alone to Liu Family Village.

Mu Shuangshuang continued her journey with Lu Yuanfeng.

On the way, Mu Shuangshuang recounted everything about her meeting with Chen Sheng to Lu Yuanfeng in detail.

This included Chen Sheng’s attitude and what she had said.

”Shuangshuang did wonderfully. If it were me, I’d have left as well.” Lu Yuanfeng smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

Mu Shuangshuang lifted her chin slightly, a faint smile gracing her lips.

”It’s only natural. It’s fortunate I didn’t hit him.

You wouldn’t believe, when I left, that Chen Sheng still looked so sure that I would be back.”

Mu Shuangshuang had already saved enough of the gift money for Xiao Han and Yuanbao, and if in the end she couldn’t find a suitable teacher, she, Mu Shuangshuang, would personally buy a carriage and drive the two children to and from school every day.

Meanwhile, she could deal with business in town.

Life never has only one path.

Whatever she, Mu Shuangshuang, wanted to achieve, there would be nothing she couldn’t accomplish.

”Shuangshuang, no matter what decision you make, I’ll support you!”
