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

Chapter 724: Chapter 720: Releasing Bad Energy (Part 2)

To save on medical expenses for Xiangxiang, Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu haven’t eaten a grain of rice from last night till this morning.

When hungry, they asked for some tea from the apprentices at the clinic, or watched others have breakfast.

In short, Old Mrs. Mu was faint from hunger now.

Mu Dajiang blushed when Old Mrs. Mu asked him for food.

”Mom, I... I was in a hurry to find you and Dad this morning, so I didn’t bring breakfast.”

Old Mrs. Mu’s face immediately fell upon hearing this.

”Why come without bringing food? Why are you so lazy? There’s rice and vegetables at home, why not make a bowl of food? Do you want to starve me and your Dad to death?”

Old Mrs. Mu started to make unreasonable demands again.

The person next to her who was also recovering along with Xiangxiang suddenly showed a face full of disdain.

It was the same last night, before sleeping, Old Mrs. Mu kept quarreling, not caring whether others could sleep.

When others reminded her to be quiet, she got upset and started arguing with them.

In short, Old Mrs. Mu had already offended everyone in the clinic just after one day.

And everyone disliked her thoroughly.

”Fourth Uncle, why are you here? How are my parents?” Mu Qingqing asked groggily, waking up and seeing Mu Dajiang.

Hearing Mu Qingqing mention Mrs. Lin, Old Mrs. Mu was filled with anger.

”You little brat, if you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute. When I go back, I’ll make your dad divorce your mom. Your mom is a heartless old hag. Look how she cared for my daughter!”

Old Mrs. Mu cursed continuously.

Mu Qingqing didn’t dare to retort and shrank into a corner, looking pitifully.

”Enough, Xiangxiang’s mother, stop yelling. We are all hungry. How about taking out some money to buy a few buns? Qing stayed up all night and is tired.”

Upon hearing the suggestion to spend money, Old Mrs. Mu got furious.

”You wish! Saying to spend money just like that. Once the money’s gone, what about Xiangxiang’s illness?” Old Mrs. Mu was bent on protecting Xiangxiang, disregarding everything else.

”Well, these copper coins aren’t even enough for Xiangxiang’s treatment,” Mr. Mu chimed in.

”Precisely because it’s not enough, we should save it. The eldest son hasn’t returned yet, and the eldest daughter-in-law took off with our Mu Family’s money and silver. If I don’t save now, this household can’t go on.”

As the argument couldn’t resolve any issues, Mu Dajiang suddenly said, ”Dad, Mom, stop arguing. I’ll go buy buns for you.”

”Buy buns? Where did you get the money? You didn’t take it from home, did you?” Old Mrs. Mu suddenly eyed Mu Dajiang suspiciously.

”Old Fourth, you wouldn’t really have done that, right?” Old Mrs. Mu demanded.

”Scoundrel! Even stealing your mother’s money. Watch out for lightning striking you.”

Old Mrs. Mu was always quick to jump to conclusions.

There was no evidence, no counterarguments, only her mood. If she felt it was true, then it was true. If she felt it wasn’t, then it wasn’t.

Mu Dajiang blushed and rebutted Old Mrs. Mu, ”Mom, touch your heart and tell me, am I the type to take your stuff? The house is indeed a bit chaotic without you, but I wouldn’t act recklessly.

This money was borrowed from Shuangshuang this morning, ten copper coins in total. I’ll go buy buns right now.”

After a while, Mu Dajiang returned, carrying a bag of buns.

The three who had been watching over Xiangxiang lit up.

The aroma of the pork buns was really tempting.

Old Mrs. Mu rushed over and snatched the buns, opening the oiled paper.

Inside were four vegetable buns and two pork buns; vegetable buns are one coin for two, and pork buns are one coin each.

Obviously, the two pork buns were for Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu.

Mu Dajiang imagined Old Mrs. Mu would give at least two vegetable buns to Mu Qingqing but, unexpectedly, Old Mrs. Mu took two vegetable buns and split them in half. She gave half of the skin to Mu Qingqing, while keeping the larger portion for herself.

Hence, all Mu Qingqing received were two halves of the skin.

Mu Qingqing looked at Old Mrs. Mu with a face about to cry.

”Grandma, I’m not full.”

”If you’re not full, buy it yourself. My son bought this for me. It’s good enough I’m not letting you look at it.” Old Mrs. Mu snorted coldly.

Mu Dajiang couldn’t stand it. ”Mom, Qingqing is still a child and growing. If she gets too hungry, what should we do?”

Old Mrs. Mu rolled her eyes at Mu Dajiang.
