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

”Well, well, eldest daughter-in-law, Jinyin’er, you finally said what’s in your heart, didn’t you? You just can’t stand seeing Xiangxiang doing well, you want her to suffer.

Why is your heart so ruthless? Are you still Xiangxiang’s sister-in-law? Are you still one of us in the Old Mu Family?”

Mrs. Jin was full of grievances, the old lady put all the blame on her, wasn’t this being a bully?

Yet Mrs. Jin had to put on a gracious act, with a smile on her face, explaining to Old Mrs. Mu.

But the more she explained, the less kindly Old Mrs. Mu treated her.

Mrs. Jin had no choice but to let Old Mrs. Mu go to the village entrance, with a kitchen knife, waiting for the Qin Family to arrive.

But the Qin Family seemed to be intentionally antagonistic towards the Old Mu Family and just didn’t show up.

In the Old Mu Family’s yard, the sun shone on the villagers, making them feel warm.

The dishes from the Old Mu Family were served one by one, and while eating, everyone started gossiping.

They were talking about nothing other than the affairs of the Old Mu Family.

Since ancient times, inequality between men and women has existed. At this time, instead of blaming the Qin Family, everyone was criticizing Mu Xiangxiang, saying she had issues, causing the Qin Family not to come.

When it involves women, it concerns reputation, and some even carelessly speculated that Mu Xiangxiang had tarnished her reputation while living in the county.

After the meal, Mu Xiangxiang’s reputation was already ruined.

Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Mr. Mu reluctantly stood at the center of the banquet, addressing the villagers: ”Everyone, today is my daughter Xiangxiang’s engagement day. Although it’s not the wedding yet, we thank you for taking the time to join us for the feast.

It’s just that my son-in-law had some issues and is still on the way; please do us a favor and don’t talk about today’s event in front of people from other villages.

Moreover, when my son-in-law arrives, we’ll give everyone some sweets as a thank you!”

Mr. Mu’s speech was essentially about preserving face within the village and not wanting to lose face with people from other villages.

He hoped the villagers would cooperate and prevent the event from spreading to the nearby villages.

However, since this happened, there was no way it could be kept a secret.

On the surface, everyone agreed, but once out of the Old Mu’s courtyard, they spread the story, treating it as a joke, and soon, Mu Xiangxiang became infamous in the surrounding villages.

Even three-year-olds were aware of Mu Xiangxiang’s scandal.

After lunch, the villagers left together, leaving the Old Mu Family to clean up.

Chef Granny Chen, who had taken two pounds of meat from the Old Mu Family and was just about to leave, got caught by Old Mrs. Mu who had returned from the village entrance.

Old Mrs. Mu, just eager to vent her anger, went off like a shot and pointed at Granny Chen, shouting: ”You old hag, stealing from my Old Mu Family, I’m going to kill you!”
