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

Chapter 1405 - 1400: Bringing Mu Xiaxia to Teach Someone a Lesson

Mu Shuangshuang’s explanation didn’t raise any suspicion from Zheng Zhi.After all, no matter who it was, they wouldn’t believe a delicate woman in front of them could do things even men wouldn’t dare to do.

"By the way, you came for..." Zheng Zhi looked at Mu Shuangshuang.

"Two things. First, does your restaurant hire temporary workers? Washing dishes, washing chopsticks, or perhaps helping with cleaning!"

Mu Shuangshuang planned to let Mu Xiaxia work at Jiu Si Xuan.

This place is absolutely safe and the pay shouldn’t be too low.

"Who is coming? You or someone else?" Zheng Zhi asked.

Zheng Zhi’s words made Mu Shuangshuang laugh out loud.

"I’m asking for my cousin. I don’t have the time, but if I did, I’d definitely come here to wash dishes. The pay shouldn’t be low, right, Mr. Zheng?" Mu Shuangshuang half-jokingly asked.

Zheng Zhi laughed along, "Naturally, having you do a worker’s job but earn the shopkeeper’s wages!"

After speaking, he continued seriously, "Young ladies actually don’t need to work at a restaurant. How about this, you bring her over to me and I’ll have a look.

If she looks decent, I’ll recommend her to a clothing store to help sell clothes and fabrics! The shopkeeper there is also a woman, so there’s no need to worry about reputation issues."

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng!"

Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t shy with Zheng Zhi and made a bow, expressing her gratitude.

"Instead of saying thanks, why not come to my house tonight and cook another meal for my parents? They are still talking about the meal you prepared last time!"

For Mu Shuangshuang, Zheng Zhi’s proposal was like a windfall.

She was just troubled about not having a legitimate reason to meet Ruan Xiao Jiao once.

Now, the opportunity had presented itself.

"Sure, it’s perfect timing while I’m still here these days. Today I’ll cook a feast for the County Magistrate and his wife!"

"Whatever the County Magistrate and his wife want to eat, I’ll make it today. Anyway, this time I have no urgent matters and I’m not in a hurry to leave!"

Listening to Mu Shuangshuang, Zheng Zhi was also delighted.

The owner of Chengfeng Restaurant cooking personally, such treatment is something other places can’t enjoy.

"Alright, first go bring your cousin here. I’ll help solve her problem first!" Zheng Zhi urged.

It was obvious he was eager for Mu Shuangshuang to come and cook at his house.

Mu Shuangshuang got up and exchanged a few words with Zheng Zhi.

Only then did she leave the county’s Jiu Si Xuan.

She returned to the inn, where Mu Xiaxia had been waiting for her in the room for quite some time.

Before Mu Shuangshuang could speak, Mu Xiaxia said, "Sister Shuangshuang, Sister Dandan and Sister Yingying have gone shopping, I know they’re going to a place called Red House to buy clothes. We can catch up with them if we go now!"

"What about Xiao Chu?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"My father is watching him, Sister Shuangshuang, let’s leave now!" Mu Xiaxia urged.

"You’re not afraid anymore?" Mu Shuangshuang casually asked.

"Afraid, but with you here, Sister Shuangshuang, I’m not scared!"

Mu Xiaxia’s expression was steadfast, and she had been earnestly keeping an eye on Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying ever since returning to the Old Mu Family, following Sister Shuangshuang’s advice.

Even though she got caught several times and was dismissed by them with a wave, she still managed to learn a little.

At least now, Mu Xiaxia knew where Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying were headed.

"Once you start there’s no turning back, are you really sure you’ve thought this through and won’t regret it?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

Mu Xiaxia thought for a moment and confirmed without hesitation, "I won’t regret it, whatever Sister Shuangshuang does, I’ll follow suit!"

"Alright, let’s go find them! Don’t think about anything else, do whatever I tell you later."

Mu Shuangshuang asked passersby in the county about the location of Red House.

Then she took Mu Xiaxia and waited for Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying outside Red House.

Perhaps because they didn’t delay even a moment on the way, when they arrived, Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying were yet to appear.

However, it was just as well, allowing Mu Shuangshuang and Mu Xiaxia to find a relatively hidden spot to wait.

Mu Shuangshuang kept her eyes on the entrance of Red House, and soon enough, two young girls appeared.

Both were wearing elegant and beautiful clothes, their familiar faces painted with bright rouge.

Indeed, it was Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying, and Mu Shuangshuang widened her eyes watching them enter Red House. She quickly said to Mu Xiaxia, "Let’s go in as well."

Mu Xiaxia was startled, almost unable to believe her ears.

She said, "Sister Shuangshuang, are we really going in? It’s not suitable, right? What if we run into them? Won’t they... won’t they do something excessive to us?

"Don’t worry about anything, I’ve told you to trust me, do whatever I tell you. Rest assured, I won’t let you suffer."

Mu Shuangshuang assured Mu Xiaxia.

Yet Mu Xiaxia still hesitated, looking reluctant, before finally speaking, "Sister Shuangshuang, I don’t have any money on me, can I not go in? I’ll wait outside for you?"

Seeing the young girl acting cautiously, Mu Shuangshuang felt quite uncomfortable.

She didn’t speak immediately and only after a while did she say, "Don’t you want revenge anymore? And you don’t want them to respect you?

Moreover, going in doesn’t necessarily mean we must buy something. Can’t we just look without buying?"

"Isn’t that not appropriate? Just looking without buying!"

In Mu Xiaxia’s mind, as long as the shop is doing business, wherever you look at things, you ought to pay for them.

If you don’t have the conditions, you shouldn’t look, so as not to waste others’ time!

However, with Mu Shuangshuang being so resolute, Mu Xiaxia had no choice but to follow her into Red House.

Compared to Mu Shuangshuang’s openness and ease, Mu Xiaxia seemed a bit restrained.

From time to time she would secretly glance at people around her, and once she noticed someone looking her way, she would blush and quickly lower her head.

It seemed as though those people would know she had no money and wasn’t buying anything.

Mu Shuangshuang noticed all of this but didn’t offer any comforting words.

She knew Mu Xiaxia had to go through these experiences; otherwise, she wouldn’t grow or have the courage to face more peculiar situations at the Old Mu Family in the future.

Inside Red House, Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying asked the shop assistants about the currently favored styles and fabrics for the county’s ladies and missus.

The assistants, looking at their nice attire, recommended clothes in the store, each costing several taels of silver.

Seeing the clothes’ styles and materials, both of their faces showed smiles, Mu Dandan picked up one of the garments and asked Mu Yingying, "Sister, do you think this dress suits you?"

Mu Dandan glanced at the color of the dress, which was pink, and the style was rather novel, she nodded, "It looks very nice, sister. You should buy this one!"
