Chapter 427: Chapter 427
Mu Xiaohan didn’t speak, Mu Shuangshuang held a towel in her hand, and they were at a stalemate.
After waiting for a while, Mu Shuangshuang personally helped Xiao Han wipe with the towel.
Xiao Han struggled a bit, and his hands relaxed.
At this moment, the moon was covered by clouds, the moonlight dimmed significantly, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t see Xiao Han’s expression, but she knew that the little guy was acting proud.
Xiao Han suddenly accused. Googlᴇ search 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
Mu Shuangshuang wanted to laugh, it seems the problem was with her.
"How did I deceive you?"
Mu Xiaohan didn’t speak, so Mu Shuangshuang continued to wipe his face. After finally wiping away the tears and snot, Mu Shuangshuang finally felt relieved.
"You said that our family would always be ." Mu Xiaohan spoke again.
At this moment, Mu Shuangshuang completely understood.
This kid was jealous of Lu Yuanfeng.
"We are still a family together now." Mu Shuangshuang intended to tease Mu Xiaohan or rather, she wanted to entirely correct Mu Xiaohan’s thinking this time.
It’s not good for kids to overthink.
"No, no, it’s not like that!" Mu Xiaohan retorted.
"Then how do you say it is?"
Mu Xiaohan didn’t speak again.
In this case, Mu Shuangshuang gained control.
"Xiao Han, I remember telling you at the beginning that no one can be alone for a lifetime, or be with family all their life. I will grow up, and you will too. We will all meet people we like and then build another family."
"Swallows grow up and leave the nest, beasts acquire hunting abilities and must go out to hunt on their own. You see, the natural order is , let alone humans?"
"You now only see me with your Brother Yuan Feng, possibly leaving you and this home in the future, but why not consider it from another perspective?"
"You don’t have a biological brother, after I’m with your Brother Yuan Feng, he will be your brother. In the future, if anyone dares to bully you, he won’t agree."
"You gain a family member, and Mom and Dad gain a son. He’s part of our family, including Yuanbao. The bond between you and Yuanbao will be stronger than ordinary friends!"
Mu Shuangshuang patiently explained.
At this moment, the clouds dispersed, the moonlight shone back into the kitchen, Mu Shuangshuang saw a glimmer in Mu Xiaohan’s swollen eyes.
It’s the kind only a person filled with longing for the future would have.
It sufficiently showed that Xiao Han understood the reasoning she just explained.
He wiped the tears from his face and asked, "So can I say anything to Brother Yuan Feng? Can I share my secrets, and he can share his with me?"
The young boy actually preferred to share his feelings with another man, Lu Yuanfeng.
Just because of the previous barrier, he began to resist Lu Yuanfeng for no reason.
"It depends on whether you’ve let go of your prejudice against your Brother Yuan Feng."
"If you feel you can actively face everything you will encounter as a man, then you’ve grown, and you can openly communicate with your Brother Yuan Feng."
Mu Shuangshuang felt that the lesson she gave Mu Xiaohan this night was also an important turning point in his life.
Mu Xiaohan shouldn’t just focus on the present.
He should look further afield.
"All right, it’s late, you rest early. Sister hopes to see a new you tomorrow morning, not letting these non-existent small matters affect your mood, can you do it?"
Mu Shuangshuang looked expectantly at Mu Xiaohan.
Mu Xiaohan nodded solemnly, only then did Mu Shuangshuang relax!
The next day, at dawn, after breakfast, Lu Yuanfeng drove the cart, sending Yu Liulang and Feng Xiaohua back to Yu Family Village together, Mu Shuangshuang was also on the cart.
She held four taels of silver in her hand, the remaining unpaid money from the corn deal.
Now that it’s the corn harvest season, she can pay for the corn and then get back some of the corn.
Mu Shuangshuang’s corn only needs to be delivered this month, then the popcorn can be resold to Jiu Si Xuan.
The cart wheels rumbled, reaching Yu Family Village in half an hour.
Lu Yuanfeng, Mu Shuangshuang followed Yu Liulang and Feng Xiaohua into the village.
Soon they arrived at the Old Yu Family, in the courtyard, Old Mrs. Yu was busy with the chicken feed. After a series of clucking calls, she looked up and saw a group standing outside the courtyard.
"Oh, I said yesterday the roosters were fighting, guests would come today, and you all came, Shuangshuang, Xiaohua, Fengzi come in."
Old Mrs. Yu immediately smiled, warmly welcoming people.
Grabbing Feng Xiaohua’s hand with one hand and Mu Shuangshuang’s hand with the other, lovingly looking at the two girls.
"Old man, come out quickly. Xiaohua and Shuangshuang are here!"
"Old man, hurry and prepare the food, we have special visitors!"
Old Mrs. Yu shouted twice, and Mr. Yu came out of the house, also in high spirits.
"Quick, quick, come in!"
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng saw this, exchanging a glance.
At Old Yu Family, the life they felt was entirely different.
Both Mr. Yu and Old Mrs. Yu were very easygoing, and treated their children and grandchildren equally, without bias or spoilage.
The male preference behavior from Old Mu Family wasn’t seen here.
Mu Shuangshuang followed into Old Yu Family’s main room, soon Mr. Yu brought out a plate of watermelon.
The children of the family ran over, grabbed a piece of watermelon each and quickly ran off.
After a while, Old Yu Family’s second daughter-in-law, the ever uncompromising Li Erju, also came.
As soon as she entered Li Erju looked around, seemingly checking what Mu Shuangshuang had brought.
Seeing everyone was empty-handed, the expression on Mrs. Li’s face wasn’t pleasant.
"I say Xiaohua, you went to Si Niang’s house, how come Si Niang didn’t give you anything? She is, after all, a future sister-in-law and a family member!"
Having a shy nature, Feng Xiaohua wasn’t fond of talking to strangers, but she couldn’t bear to see Yu Si Niang being wronged, so she said, "Previously Shuangshuang gave a piece of red cloth, when leaving, and Fourth Sister also gave a tael of silver as a meeting gift."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li was furious.
"What? Si Niang gave you a tael of silver?" Mrs. Li’s face twitched, then she wailed to Old Mrs. Yu: "Mom, we’re all daughters-in-law, how can Si Niang be so biased? When I married into Old Yu Family, she prepared nothing, instead she took things from home."
"Now she gives a tael of silver to someone who hasn’t even married in, not even engaged."
A tael of silver, how much tea leaves need to be picked, how many tasks to be done.
Yu Si Niang was truly excessive.
Feng Xiaohua realized she misspoke, wanted to explain, but didn’t know how, could only seek help from Yu Liulang.
