Chapter 421: Chapter 421

Mrs. Lin was the first to clarify herself.

Then a few others followed suit, speaking up as well.

"Mom, when it comes to arguing, you’re the best. How dare we step forward? Besides, you aren’t being bullied, are you?" Mu Dazhong said.

"You bunch of rascals!" Old Mrs. Mu cursed, while Mu Shuangshuang took the opportunity to wink at Yu Liulang.

Several people supported Mu Dashan, taking Yu Si Niang quickly into the house.

Old Mrs. Mu turned around and disappeared, yelling furiously at the sky.

Inside the house, Yu Si Niang was still a bit worried.

"Shuangshuang, do you think it’s okay to leave your grandma outside like that?"

"Mom, didn’t you hear my grandma cursing outside? It’s fine. Later when my grandpa hears it, he will surely call my grandma back."

Old Mrs. Mu’s reputation concerns Mu Dade, and Mr. Mu has no reason to let it go.

Sure enough, after a while, Mr. Mu personally came to invite Old Mrs. Mu back, and spoke outside the house.

"Old Dashan, I know you’re still upset with me, and I know my words hurt you. But don’t worry; we’ll find a way about your brother’s money!"

Mr. Mu’s approach was quite ingenious.

Initially furious, Mu Dashan’s face softened, even showing a hint of disappointment.

Mu Shuangshuang felt helpless towards Mu Dashan; when people treated him softly, he couldn’t remain stern, no matter how much he had suffered before!

Old Mrs. Mu caused a stir with the Old Mu Family and then left.

Mu Shuangshuang started preparing lunch, and the kitchen was unbearably hot. Luckily, Lu Yuanfeng was helping to fan Mu Shuangshuang with a straw fan.

However, even with the fan, Mu Shuangshuang was drenched in sweat once the fire started.

Behind her, Lu Yuanfeng was so focused on fanning her that sweat was pouring from his own forehead.

In a short while, his clothes were soaked through.

"Yuanfeng, you should rest outside; it’s too hot in here."

Mu Shuangshuang muttered while washing the prepared vegetables in a wooden basin, finally feeling relieved after touching the cold water.

"No problem, you won’t let me do anything else, and you won’t even let me fan!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

Lu Yuanfeng’s tone was gentle, always unconsciously softer around Mu Shuangshuang, not wanting to scare her.

"But it’s really hot; what if you get overheated?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"If Shuangshuang’s not afraid of the heat, then neither am I. Right, Shuangshuang, I noticed there are some water reeds by the lake; I’ll collect them this afternoon to make you a mat."

Mu Shuangshuang was surprised once again, amazed at how this man seemed to know everything.

Hunting, making furniture, even blacksmithing.

"Yes, I learned a bit from my master back in the day."

Lu Yuanfeng’s survival skills were remarkable. In those days, his father Lu Xiao was focused solely on gambling, and the Old Lu Family ignored Lu Xiao as well as Lu Yuanfeng’s family, leaving everything to Yuanfeng’s mom to handle.

From an early age, Lu Yuanfeng knew he had to support the family.

From summer’s eels and loaches in the fields to fish under the iced lake in winter, whatever he could think of, he would do.

But at that time, it was just to get by, never thinking he could make money from those things.

After returning from the army, he still relied on his catches to trade for rice and oil, living day by day until he met Shuangshuang.

"Can I go with you?" Mu Shuangshuang looked at Lu Yuanfeng with anticipation.

"I want to learn how to make a mat!"

Mu Shuangshuang was genuinely curious about these ancient crafts, which seemed impressive to her.

Lu Yuanfeng gazed at Mu Shuangshuang with a faint smile, taking some time before he spoke.

"Okay, but... but you have to give me a kiss."

After saying this, Lu Yuanfeng’s face turned red.

Mu Shuangshuang blushed, silently thinking: Who says this silly guy is dumb? He’s clearly good at securing his own interests!

But Mu Shuangshuang still rose on her tiptoes, and seeing this, Lu Yuanfeng cooperatively bent down.

Holding Lu Yuanfeng’s head, Mu Shuangshuang lightly grazed his forehead.

Whether it was because the kiss was too gentle or Mu Shuangshuang’s expression was too alluring, Lu Yuanfeng suddenly wrapped his arm around Mu Shuangshuang’s waist.

He lowered his head and kissed her intensely, leaving Mu Shuangshuang stunned by his wild actions, her eyes wide and somewhat incredulous.

Lu Yuanfeng felt like he was on fire, even hotter than before.

"Close your eyes, , I’ll feel like I’m bullying you!" Lu Yuanfeng said softly, his rough breaths hitting Mu Shuangshuang’s face.

But instead of closing her eyes, Mu Shuangshuang looked at Lu Yuanfeng with a kitten-like pitiful gaze.

Lu Yuanfeng kissed Mu Shuangshuang again, and the two were inseparable—

Until suddenly there was a knock at the door outside.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng quickly parted, their faces red like May cherries, especially Mu Shuangshuang, whose face was so bright and inviting it seemed irresistible.

As the kitchen door opened, Mu Xiangxiang rushed in.

She started pulling at Lu Yuanfeng’s clothes, inspecting him up and down.

"Yuanfeng, are you okay? I heard my mom had a run-in with you? I just talked to her, told her not to bother you anymore. You shouldn’t hang around the third branch—it’s so cramped, there’s barely room to turn around."

Mu Xiangxiang looked at Lu Yuanfeng with infatuated eyes.

Her gaze was eager enough to devour Lu Yuanfeng whole.

"Aunt, your butt is really big, even bigger than this room!"

Seeing someone flirting with her man right in front of her, Mu Shuangshuang was furious.

"You brat, I’m talking to Yuanfeng; what’s it to you? Step aside!" Mu Xiangxiang said indifferently.

Mu Shuangshuang pulled Lu Yuanfeng over, asserting, "He’s standing beside me now, he’s my man. So yes, it is my business!"

Mu Shuangshuang’s words that he’s her man made Lu Yuanfeng excited; he could hardly believe as he stared at Mu Shuangshuang.

"You shameless thing, how can you say Yuanfeng is yours? See if I don’t tear your mouth apart!"

Mu Xiangxiang threatened as she came over to grab at Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang raised her foot and kicked Mu Xiangxiang, causing her to stumble aside.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xiangxiang started wailing loudly when she fell.

"Murder! The brat is killing me..."

"Dad, Mom, someone’s bullying Xiangxiang..."

Mu Xiangxiang’s voice was exceptionally loud, and when Old Mrs. Mu heard, she quickly rushed over.

As soon as she arrived, Mu Xiangxiang threw herself into Old Mrs. Mu’s arms.

"Mom, the brat hit me and stole my things!"

Old Mrs. Mu’s face immediately changed.

"Brat, how dare you hit our Xiangxiang? You’re living on borrowed time!"
