Chapter 361 - 359 Fengzi’s Gift (Third Update)
"Second daughter-in-law, are you dead? Xiangxiang is throwing a tantrum! Why don’t you persuade her for me, you want to die!"Unable to scold Mu Qingqing, Old Mrs. Mu vented on Mrs. Lin, not caring that Mrs. Lin was pregnant at the moment.
Mrs. Lin wasn’t even upset about being scolded, because her daughter was so sensible, and was about to be chosen as the weaver.
"Mom, it’s not Qingqing’s fault. It’s the villagers who chose. If you’re unhappy, I’ll have Qingqing step down." Mrs. Lin pretended to be obedient.
Old Mrs. Mu was so angry she almost fainted.
"Oh, Mrs. Lin, you’re quite cruel-hearted. That dead girl is on the stage now. If she steps down, how will the villagers laugh at our Old Mu Family?"
Old Mrs. Mu was angry but not stupid. If Mu Qingqing stepped down now, folks would think she was biased.
"Mom, I didn’t mean that. I’m just doing it for Xiangxiang’s sake!" Mrs. Lin retorted, inwardly cursing Old Mrs. Mu as an old hag.
"For Xiangxiang’s sake, you should learn from the third branch. Look, did Shuang come? Did Yu Si Niang come?
Only your second and fourth branches cause trouble. If it weren’t for you coming, Xiangxiang would have been the weaver by now."
Old Mrs. Mu uncharacteristically praised the third branch, her venomous gaze almost piercing through Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Lin.
Mu Xiaxia was protected behind Mrs. Liu, not daring to peek out at all.
"Mom, that stinky girl..."
"Are you calling her a stinky girl? You better behave, pray that Qing doesn’t get selected, or I’ll skin you!"hough it wasn’t great quality, it was worth three taels of silver.
Though he knew Shuangshuang didn’t care about the money.
"May I open it?"
"Yes! Certainly." Lu Yuanfeng himself was a bit embarrassed.
When Mu Shuangshuang opened the box, the dark green jade bracelet inside instantly drew her attention.
This piece of jade was more beautiful than any she’d seen in modern times, and holding it, there was a cool feeling.
"Fengzi, this... wasn’t cheap, right?"
Modern jade ranged from a few hundred to thousands; this ancient piece couldn’t have been cheap either.
Lu Yuanfeng shook his head: "It’s not expensive, as long as Shuangshuang likes it."
Such a simple sentence warmed Mu Shuangshuang’s heart, warmer than the bonfire itself.
"You really are... anyway, I’ll keep the gift, we have a long time ahead together."
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng had long been entangled; scrutinizing these matters would be pretentious now.
She picked up the bracelet, putting it on her hand.
Fortunately, it didn’t slip off her wrist; by the firelight, Mu Shuangshuang examined it closely, liking Lu Yuanfeng’s gift more and more.
She thought that was it, but when Lu Yuanfeng mentioned there was more, Mu Shuangshuang was dumbfounded.
One bracelet was already the biggest gift—was there something else?
Lu Yuanfeng stood up, heading towards his home.
Mu Shuangshuang remained in place, grilling meat, curious about what Lu Yuanfeng was talking about.
