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

Chapter 1544 - 1539: The Calamity Triggered by the Words

"Should I go pour tea for Sister Jin, like you asked?"Qin Xianglan’s delicate voice matched her fragile appearance.

Mrs. Jin looked like she wanted to vomit; she thought Old Mrs. Mu would give her face since Qin Xianglan was an outsider.

Who knew, Old Mrs. Mu was completely brainless.

"Go where? She’s got hands and feet, all born from the dirt, pretending to be some pet canary!"

Old Mrs. Mu rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Mother, what do you mean by this? Qin Xianglan eats my food, uses my things, and you mean she can’t even fetch a cup of water?"

Mrs. Jin was furious; she didn’t care if the old woman was her mother-in-law.

She knew this old woman wasn’t giving her face, refusing her courteous acceptance to drink the liquor, forcing her to drink the punitive wine instead.

"Bang!" Old Mrs. Mu slammed the table hard and then pointed at Mrs. Jin and cursed, "You’re spewing nonsense! Xianglan was brought here by me, she eats and uses everything bought by my son.

And you, what you eat and use, is also my son’s! What’s his is mine. I let Xianglan pour tea, she can pour it. I don’t let her, your words are just a fart. Even if you say it, nobody pays attention!"

"You... you old fart, don’t give face when it’s offered! Keep flaunting and you’ll be kicked out of our house!"

Mrs. Jin was muddled with anger, and her inner thoughts spilled out directly.

By the time she realized, it was too late.

There was no way out, Old Mrs. Mu had already heard it.

"Sister Jin, how can you curse the old lady like that, she’s your mother-in-law!" Qin Xianglan took the initiative to attack, shaking awake the shocked Old Mrs. Mu.

As soon as Old Mrs. Mu came to her senses, she stood up, "You wicked woman, what did you just call me?"

"Mother, I... I didn’t mean it like that, I don’t even know how I ended up cursing! I wasn’t cursing at you!"

Knowing she was in the wrong, Mrs. Jin could only apologize repeatedly.

After all, cursing at her mother-in-law, if this really spread out, it would do her no good at all.

"Not that meaning, then what meaning, you wretched woman!"

Old Mrs. Mu cursed, and lifted a hand for a slap.

Mrs. Jin was knocked to the ground; before she could cry for help, Qin Xianglan beside her said, "Aunt Mu, don’t hit Sister Jin, she’s your daughter-in-law, if a mother-in-law hits a daughter-in-law, others will criticize you behind your back!"

It would have been better if Qin Xianglan hadn’t spoken, but once she did, Old Mrs. Mu’s anger suddenly surged.

"Who said a mother-in-law can’t hit her daughter-in-law? A mother-in-law is born to discipline shameless daughters-in-law, this small wretch called me an old dead woman right to my face, who knows how she’d plot against me behind my back.

Today I’ll act as heaven’s justice and beat this shameless woman to death!"

Various offensive words spewed from Old Mrs. Mu’s mouth.

She sat her entire weight onto Mrs. Jin’s stomach, swinging left and right, rapidly slapping Mrs. Jin’s face.

"Slap slap slap..."

"Slap slap..."

"Slap..."

Each slap heavier than the last, only Mrs. Jin’s wailing could be heard—

"Help, help..."

"Da De, save me..."

"Jiaojiao, Yingying, save me..."

Mrs. Jin’s face was smudged with tears and snot, each wail more miserable.

Qin Xianglan coldly observed from the side, occasionally revealing a victorious smile when neither Old Mrs. Mu nor Mrs. Jin were paying attention.

Mrs. Jin was beaten so severely that she was barely breathing.

Even her howls, from initially resembling a slaughtered pig, turned to hoarse cries, quieter than a dying kitten’s mew.

Mr. Mu returned to the main house for some business, only to witness Old Mrs. Mu sitting on the eldest daughter-in-law Mrs. Jin’s stomach, her hands swinging left and right, slapping the eldest daughter-in-law’s face.

The eldest daughter-in-law’s face already had no good flesh left, her face was swollen like a pig’s head.

"Stop—" Mr. Mu shouted loudly to Old Mrs. Mu.

Old Mrs. Mu was blinded by rage, unable to stop.

It was only after Mr. Mu exhausted all his strength that he managed to pull her away.

From the moment Mr. Mu came in, Qin Xianglan crouched down, leaning against the corner, pretending to shiver in fear.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, how are you, wake up..."

Mr. Mu shouted at the bruised and swollen Mrs. Jin.

But Mrs. Jin just looked at him briefly before passing out.

"Eldest daughter-in-law..." Mr. Mu called out again, this time more urgent than any call before.

The commotion was loud enough that Mu Dazhong, Mu Danian, and Mrs. Lin finally heard it.

One by one they rushed to the main room, seeing Mrs. Jin lying on the ground, converted to a pig’s head.

"Oh my heavens, is this still a person?" Mrs. Lin exclaimed.

Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian also gasped sharply.

Brutal, truly brutal!

Just in the morning, they thought their father Mr. Mu was ruthless.

But now it seems, their mother is truly the relentless one.

Eldest sister-in-law’s fine face, probably won’t want to be seen for ten days to half a month!

"Second daughter-in-law, go call the doctor! Second son, go to the county government office and call Da De back, say... say Mrs. Jin has been beaten!

As for Fifth, pull this mad woman outside, I don’t want to see her!"

Mr. Mu instructed.

"Alright!"

The three took up their tasks, Mrs. Lin, having been in the county for a while, knew where the clinic was.

Although Mu Dazhong had just come to the county, the county government office is the most important place in the entire county, even a beggar knows where it is.

Only Mu Danian had the unfortunate task; as soon as he touched Old Mrs. Mu’s hand, she waved him away.

"Get lost!" Old Mrs. Mu glared at Mu Danian.

"Father, my mother is so fierce, I don’t dare!" Mu Danian looked to Mr. Mu for help.

"I’ll do it!" Mr. Mu said, grabbing Old Mrs. Mu’s wrist.

"Get the rope, tie up this crazy woman!" Mr. Mu ordered Mu Danian.

"Oh, alright, I’m on it!" Mu Danian rushed out, soon returning with a hemp rope.

"What are you doing?" Old Mrs. Mu loudly questioned Mr. Mu and Mu Danian seeing this.

"Doing what! You hit the eldest daughter-in-law, when eldest son comes back he’ll deal with you!" Mr. Mu stated.

"You... good for you, Mu Dabiao, you actually sided with an outsider! Do you know what this small hussy called me?

She called me a dead old woman, as her mother-in-law, I was teaching her manners, otherwise she’d be blind to authority! I’m not wrong!"

"You still dare argue!" Mr. Mu was furious, especially when he learned why Old Mrs. Mu acted.

"Even if she called you old hag, you can’t hit people!

If today Da De says to send you to prison, then to prison you go, I definitely won’t say a single word in your favor!"

Mr. Mu was resolute; this matter, he absolutely couldn’t tolerate.

If it was tolerated, this family would fall apart in the future!
