Chapter 430: Chapter 430
Mu Shuangshuang felt Mr. Mu was running away too disgracefully.
This is just the trouble Mu Dade started for the Old Mu Family. Hard days haven’t even come yet. With this kind of level, how will they withstand Mu Dade’s future attacks?
After laughing, Mu Shuangshuang calmed her mind and turned to give Lu Yuanfeng a sweet smile.
Mu Shuangshuang was nice to her own people.
Cold to those who weren’t good to her.
"Fengzi, what do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll make it for you."
"Anything, whatever Shuangshuang makes, I love to eat."
Lu Yuanfeng wasn’t picky; whatever Mu Shuangshuang made, he ate.
"Alright, then I’ll make corn porridge, grind some mung bean soup, and each of us will have a bowl of sour, spicy, and refreshing cold noodles. How does that sound?"
"Couldn’t be better, then I’ll wait to eat."
Lu Yuanfeng rarely joked, and when he smiled, his big white eyes almost blinded Mu Shuangshuang.
As usual, they worked in cooperation, with Lu Yuanfeng starting the fire and Mu Shuangshuang cooking.
She went into the kitchen, washed her hands, and started kneading the dough.
Lu Yuanfeng helped to cut out the corn kernels one by one with a knife and soak them in water, waiting for Mu Shuangshuang to cook the corn porridge.
During his free time, he tilted his head, watching Shuangshuang busy beside him.
At this moment, Lu Yuanfeng’s gaze was greedy, he always felt greedy watching the person focused on cooking in front of him.
He greedily believed that Shuangshuang would be with him for life.
Shuangshuang would cook for him, have children, and be raised white and chubby at home.
He would go out to work and earn money to support her and the children.
Lu Yuanfeng’s mouth curled into a happy smile.
Mu Shuangshuang turned around to get something and saw Lu Yuanfeng laughing foolishly there, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Fengzi, what are you laughing at?" Mu Shuangshuang asked curiously.
"Shuangshuang, what kind of betrothal gift do you want? I’ll work hard to earn it for you." Lu Yuanfeng was a bit nervous, but compared to before, he was much better today, because there was hope in his heart.
Mu Shuangshuang suddenly understood.
Turns out he was thinking about getting married.
"I hope my love is a hero who will one day wear a gold holy armor and come riding on colorful clouds to marry me..."
A scene from "A Chinese Odyssey," yet Mu Shuangshuang felt it was particularly fitting at this moment.
But she didn’t know, what she originally thought was a joke rooted itself deeply in Lu Yuanfeng’s heart.
Lu Yuanfeng clenched his fists tightly and secretly told himself that he would definitely prepare everything as Shuangshuang said.
"Fengzi, do you prefer a simple life or an up-and-down one?" Mu Shuangshuang suddenly asked.
Simple warmth. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
The challenge of ups and downs.
Everyone might have different lives.
"Wherever you are, that’s where I’ll be. Whether it’s a simple or tumultuous life, I’m willing to live it."
Deep emotion showed in Lu Yuanfeng’s eyes.
His eyes were bright, his facial expression sincere, only gradually his gaze became more fiery, and the hot air passed from Lu Yuanfeng’s body to Mu Shuangshuang’s.
Mu Shuangshuang had never seen this side of Lu Yuanfeng; at this moment, she could feel his restless heart.
"Fengzi, help me grind the mung beans. I don’t have much time on my own."
The fire in Lu Yuanfeng’s eyes instantly retreated, and he took the mung beans Mu Shuangshuang handed him and walked to the corner of the kitchen to start cleaning the stone mill.
He exhaled deeply, and Mu Shuangshuang touched her nose.
With how lovey-dovey she and Fengzi were, she was bound to get a nosebleed sooner or later.
Mu Shuangshuang busied herself with the table items, Lu Yuanfeng was not far away grinding mung beans, the sound of chopping vegetables and the grinding of mung beans.
The two combined became the simplest music.
A meal was prepared in a pleasant and harmonious atmosphere.
After lunch, Lu Yuanfeng went back to weaving straw mats and bringing food to Xing Beichen, while Mu Shuangshuang messed with corn in the house.
She had no place to put so much corn; the kitchen couldn’t fit it, and her house didn’t have a hall room.
After much dilemma, Mu Shuangshuang finally decided to put all the corn under her bed, using wooden boards to isolate it from the ground’s moisture.
This way it wasn’t taking up space, and she wasn’t worried about thieves coveting it.
Mr. Mu was snubbed, and once back sent someone to contact Fu Wu, saying the Old Mu Family wanted to sell land.
Fu Wu had been waiting for the Old Mu Family to seek him, so naturally he wouldn’t go out of his way.
He wanted Mr. Mu to take Old Mrs. Mu to apologize, otherwise, the matter of selling land was off the table!
"That little bastard Fu Wu actually said that, to have my old lady apologize?" Old Mrs. Mu’s face didn’t look good as she directly cursed at Mu Danian.
Mu Danian looked aggrieved. "Mom, I didn’t say that, why are you yelling at me?"
These words were originally said by Fu Wu; what does it have to do with him?
Besides, Fu Wu wasn’t wrong. Fu Xiaonan, a young maiden, was almost scarred by his mother, an old lady. In terms of both emotion and reason, she should apologize.
"That bastard dared to talk like that about me, the old lady. That Fu Xiaonan’s mouth is filthy, daring to speak about Xiangxiang. It’s good I didn’t rip her mouth off. Now she dares to turn the tables."
Mu Xiangxiang, listening to Old Mrs. Mu’s words, remembered that day when Fu Xiaonan humiliated her during the Qixi Festival.
She also remembered Fu Xiaonan’s fair little face and the look of envy from the village women.
Mu Xiangxiang grew to harbor even more resentment.
"Dad, Mom is right. That Fu Xiaonan is no good; she humiliated my mom first. In my view, our Old Mu Family shouldn’t bow down."
"My big brother is a scholar, while Fu Wu is just errand-running lackey. Without work, he’ll eventually starve."
Old Mrs. Mu agreed with her daughter’s reasoning and simply instructed everyone.
"That Fu Wu intentionally embarrassed me, I’m not going to apologize. If you want to, you can go yourselves."
"Mom, that’s not how it is. Fu Wu is the one handling these matters. If we truly offend him, it’ll be difficult for us to deal with the land business later."
"If the government issues any favorable policies for land exchanges or rewards, our family might end up with no benefits."
Mu Danian analyzed beside Old Mrs. Mu, and those in the Old Mu Family with better brains still felt he was right.
After the Da Ning Dynasty war ended, there was a start for swapping barren land for fertile land, and the Old Mu Family took advantage and got two acres of fertile land.
In recent years, although the decree was gone, it’s hard to guarantee it won’t happen again.
So it’s best not to offend Fu Wu.
Though reasonable, it’s all pointless as long as Mu Xiangxiang doesn’t give in.
"Mom, I don’t care, I won’t let you apologize!"
"Sis, this matter concerns big brother becoming a scholar, don’t meddle foolishly, stay on the side." Mu Danian felt he had the reason and loudly scolded Mu Xiangxiang.
Old Mrs. Mu jumped up, and slapped Mu Danian’s face.
"You little bastard, daring to talk like that about your sister, right in front of me. Do you think I’m dead, the old lady?"
