From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth! Chapter 963 - 959: Lost Weight (First Update)

"What did I say?" The servant stopped and gave Mu Danian a mocking look.

"You dare say I’m dressed in rags? Do you know who I am? My elder brother is a scholar, and I’m the scholar’s brother!"

Mu Danian tilted his head up, boasting about his elder brother being a scholar, his nostrils almost turning up to the sky.

The servant laughed indifferently, "I thought who it could be, turns out it’s our master’s unrecognized poor relative.

Since you’re from that family, I can’t let you in!"

With that, the servant took a few steps forward and pushed Mu Danian away.

Mu Danian, unable to dodge in ti, was pushed out of Old Cao’s house’s gate, staggering back several steps before barely steadying himself.

Mu Danian’s face instantly turned red with anger. He wanted to argue with the servant, even wanted to fight.

But the servant gave Mu Danian no chance. As soon as he stepped into the yard, he closed the gate and wouldn’t open it no matter how much Mu Danian shouted his voice hoarse and pounded his palms raw.

In the backyard, Mu Xianxian unusually didn’t go to her own shoe shop and was sunbathing in the yard with her daughter Cao Miaomiao.

Cao Miaomiao was as much of an eater as ever, having already eaten a stack of freshly made osmanthus cakes.

Now she held a small dish, eating the chestnut cake just made in the kitchen.

Mu Xianxian saw and just smiled, without a word of reproach for Cao Miaomiao.

Because Cao Miaomiao was different from before.

Her once chubby figure had now slimd down by more than half.

Her features had also beco more defined, though she was still plumper compared to ordinary girls, it was already a good thing for Mu Xianxian.

Her daughter, who had been fat for over a decade, had suddenly slimd down.

Mu Xianxian didn’t think much of it, assuming her daughter was just at the age to slim down and would grow thinner in the future.

"Mom, I’m still hungry..." Cao Miaomiao raised the empty dish of chestnut cake and said to Mu Xianxian.

Mu Xianxian took the dish and looked inside and out.

"How did you finish it so fast? You should eat slower, what if you get fat again?" Mu Xianxian asked.

"Mom, I won’t get fat. No matter how much I eat, I won’t! Hurry up and get Xiao Cui to bring so pastries, I want crystal buns with at filling, at least... at least ten."

Cao Miaomiao said as she stretched out her fingers.

Her face displayed innocence, but there was a hint of smugness in her heart.

It’s all thanks to her aunt, Mu Xiangxiang, that she’s like this now.

After eating, she would go to the toilet to vomit it out.

Cao Miaomiao had now gotten used to this way, not afraid of getting fat from eating, and didn’t mind eating too much.

Speaking of vomiting, Cao Miaomiao calculated, from breakfast until now, she had eaten so much and still hadn’t gone to the toilet.

Cao Miaomiao stood up and said to Mu Xianxian, "Mom, I’m going to the toilet. Make sure to tell Xiao Cui to prepare the delicious food for ."

After speaking, Cao Miaomiao clutched her butt and urgently headed to the toilet.

This appearance truly looked like she was reacting desperately.

Mu Xianxian glanced at her daughter and smiled.

At this mont, Mu Xianxian heard Mu Danian’s shouting from the front yard, it sounded like a pig being slaughtered, very ear-piercing.

"Xiao Cui, go check out the front yard, see what’s going on. Why do I hear soone shouting at the door!" Mu Xianxian ordered.

Xiao Cui didn’t want to go, she mumbled, "Madam, I think maybe it’s a beggar passing by looking for so food.

I imagine it’s that gatekeeper Lai Gui seeing them poorly dressed and chasing them away. He belongs to Old Mrs. Mu!

He doesn’t usually show a good face when poorly dressed people co to discuss matters with you. When he sees little beggars, wouldn’t he want to skin them alive?"

Xiao Cui’s words seed quite reasonable.

Mu Xianxian also felt troubled.

Ever since her daughter’s engagent to Liu Zian fell through, that old witch has been showing off at ho.

The housekeeper was already that old witch’s person, now even the gatekeeper has been replaced by their own people.

Thinking about these things put Mu Xianxian in a bad mood.

She had no interest in who was making a ruckus outside the gate.

"Alright, let’s not bother with this matter, we can’t afford to provoke the old witch’s people!" Mu Xianxian resentfully said.

Only then did Xiao Cui smile and stayed by Mu Xianxian’s side.

After a while, Cao Miaomiao, having vomited in the toilet, ca out.

Seeing the fruits and snacks on the table, she began eating again...

-

Outside Old Cao’s gate, Mu Danian couldn’t stop thinking what his sister did was inappropriate.

As the saying goes, ’like master, like dog’, if his elder sister Mu Xianxian hadn’t said anything, this gatekeeper wouldn’t have stopped him.

So Mu Danian made up his mind.

"Fine, Mu Xianxian, you won’t open the door, huh? Don’t co begging for my help later!"

With those words, Mu Danian left Old Cao’s house in a huff.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he beca. Lately, nothing was going his way.

Checking his pocket, he only had thirty copper coins left.

Enough for a drink at the brothel but not enough to call a girl.

Yihong Courtyard was one of the biggest brothels in Qingshan Town, with beautiful girls in every corner.

Mu Danian was no stranger there; he knew his way around.

After walking two streets, Mu Danian arrived at Yihong Courtyard.

Being around noon, there were hardly any patrons, so Mu Danian naturally beca the focus of the girls’ attention.

They kept addressing him as "Sir, Sir" endlessly.

Mu Danian was delighted, but alas, he had no money.

He ordered a pot of wine and sat alone in the main hall drinking.

"Damn it, really pisses off, that stinking Mu Xianxian, best if she gets abandoned by her in-laws, then see how I’ll mock her!"

"Damn!"

Mu Danian cursed incessantly to himself.

After a few cups of yellow wine, his lust began to stir, and he rushed at the sight of any woman.

He grope the woman from head to toe.

The woman was frightened, losing her color, and she started to curse, "Who are you, why are you groping ..."

Just as she spoke out, Mu Danian grabbed her arm.

"Chen Hong... how co it’s you, you woman, you’re actually out here selling?"

Mu Danian was nearly stunned, the woman before him with makeup like a monkey’s butt was none other than Chen Hong, who had been missing for several months!

Back then, Chen Hong was driven out of the Old Mu Family by Old Mrs. Mu, leaving even a few of her clothes at the Old Mu Family.

Causing Mu Danian to ’miss her day and night’, several tis almost going out to find her.

But in such a big Qingshan Town, finding soone was neither easy nor simple.

"Who’s selling, you damned thing, why do you speak so harshly?" Chen Hong was sowhat guilty.

After all, working at a brothel in town wasn’t honorable.

But she had no choice; in the village, she was but a widow.

Later on, she was sold by Wang Xiaojiang’s parents to Wang San.

There was no place for her in Tie Dao Village, and Er Gui Village was controlled by that old hag Old Mrs. Mu.

Chen Hong had to survive; she couldn’t let herself starve to death!

"You woman, still so stubborn, but tell ... are you here at Yihong Courtyard as a maid, or do you have a stall here?" Mu Danian asked.
