Chapter 548 - 544: Bite Me! (Part 3)
Mu Shuangshuang was watching the drama unfold, completely absorbed and not wanting to budge an inch!She knew it would turn out this way.
If her uncle didn’t pass the exam, at most everyone would be disappointed and continue preparing for next year.
But if he passed, that bunch of eccentrics would definitely lose their footing.
Looks like she wouldn’t need to deal with it herself.
At this rate, the Old Mu Family was going to fall apart sooner or later!
"Fengzi, let’s go have dinner. Starting tomorrow, let’s get ready to dig the pond."
The pond in Tie Dao Village — Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng had fenced it — was supposed to be dug earlier, but the weather was too hot, and they got drenched in sweat before even starting.
Now the weather was just perfect.
Plus, after finishing this, they could get started on the autumn harvest. They had half of the grain from those few acres the Old Mu Family owned.
Thinking of how life was getting better and better, Mu Shuangshuang was in a great mood, almost humming a tune as she followed Lu Yuanfeng back.
Back in the kitchen, Yu Si Niang had already set the table, with a big meat patty in each person’s bowl and a large sea bowl of sauerkraut soup.
But the atmosphere at the dining table was a bit tense, as Mu Dashan was shifting back and forth in his seat as if he had sores on his butt.
Mu Shuangshuang thought it must be because of Mu Dade’s issue.
"Why are you fidgeting so much? If there’s something wrong, can’t we solve it together?" Yu Si Niang put the ladle into Mu Dashan’s bowl and asked.
"Dad, are you thinking about Uncle passing the exam?" Mu Shuangshuang said.
With both his wife and daughter asking him, Mu Dashan couldn’t hold it in.
"Si Niang, Shuangshuang, how about we move away? Your uncle seems polite on the surface, but when he comes back, he’ll definitely settle old scores with us."
Mu Dashan and Mu Dade were brothers.
So he understood Mu Dade very well. In the past, he worked hard like a horse to support Shuangshuang’s uncle and didn’t think there was anything wrong with his attitude. But now, faced with the problem, Mu Dashan was a bit scared.
Hearing Mu Dashan’s words, Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t worried, instead, she felt particularly relieved.
She had just thought Mu Dashan wanted to go to the Old Mu Family to join the fun and congratulate the main family.
Turns out, he was afraid of the main family’s revenge.
With this, Mu Shuangshuang felt much better.
Her spineless dad had grown a bit.
"Dad, don’t worry. Even if my uncle passed, he can’t cause us any trouble. After all, he’ll be a government official in the future. We’re barefoot, so we’re not afraid of those wearing shoes, and we never intended to take advantage of him. He can’t bully us!"
Mu Dashan nodded, agreeing with Mu Shuangshuang’s words.
Mu Dashan relieved himself and finally returned to normal.
"I’m fine now, you guys hurry up and eat!"
After dinner, Mu Shuangshuang walked Yuanbao and Lu Yuanfeng back, and the two of them lamented the events of the past few days on the way.
Indeed, a lot had happened these past few days.
Little Zhi and Yuanbao were almost kidnapped, her uncle passed the exam, one thing after another, it felt like a dream. But unlike a dream, these things were all too real.
Wang the blacksmith’s selling of Chen Hong didn’t seem wrong to Mu Shuangshuang, but what shouldn’t have happened was Wang the blacksmith buying someone else’s child, especially a chubby son.
In this era, boys were worth more than girls. Parents generally wouldn’t sell someone else’s child willingly. If they bought from a human trafficker, it was stolen from someone else’s family.
No trade, no harm!
For personal gain, breaking another family apart, Wang the blacksmith’s fate was self-inflicted!
However, she still owed the Old Mu Family an apology!
Outside Lu Yuanfeng’s courtyard, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t want to go inside.
It was still early, and Mu Shuangshuang didn’t ask Lu Yuanfeng to walk her back; she just told him to go rest early.
The entire day had tired both of them out!
As she watched Lu Yuanfeng enter the house, from the Old Lu Family’s side, Xia Guagua’s figure appeared before Mu Shuangshuang.
In just that short time, Xia Guagua had changed to the point where Mu Shuangshuang barely recognized her.
Her hair was a mess, she was pale, and her chin was so thin you could see the bones, even skinnier than when she first arrived!
She stared at Mu Shuangshuang with empty and hateful eyes.
Spitefully, she said, "Are you feeling proud that you can marry Brother Yuanfeng, while I have to marry trash like Wang Fugui?"
Mu Shuangshuang nodded cooperatively, "Indeed, I’m very proud. Who told you to harm others? The state you’re in now is what you deserve, you brought it on yourself!"
"You..." Xia Guagua’s eyes flashed with malice.
"What about me? Losers should have the look of a loser. No matter how cocky you are, don’t you still have to suffer the consequences?" Mu Shuangshuang intentionally displayed a pleased expression.
Xia Guagua’s mouth twisted in anger.
Moreover, Mu Shuangshuang put her hands on her hips and challenged, "It’s useless to be angry. If you’ve got the nerve, come and bite me, come and bite me..."
Mu Shuangshuang’s actions were infuriating, and Xia Guagua got so mad she fainted and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Gu Jiulian prepared to shout out loud.
But Mu Shuangshuang beat her to it.
"Hey everyone, look! A pregnant woman fainted! The Old Lu Family is abusing a pregnant woman..."
Mu Shuangshuang’s shout completely cut off Xia Guagua’s escape route.
Not yet married and already carrying a love child.
No one would dare set her up in a match again.
Gu Jiulian had never encountered someone like Mu Shuangshuang who could act so ruthlessly. Back then, her late husband’s awful family couldn’t bring her down, yet now she was defeated by a teenage girl. How could Gu Jiulian endure this?
"You damn girl, I’m gonna skin you today!"
Gu Jiulian lunged forward, her hand swinging with a whoosh in the air.
But before she could touch Mu Shuangshuang, her wrist was grabbed by someone,
a chilling aura surrounded this person, capable of freezing anyone into shards with ease.
"You...you..." Gu Jiulian looked in fear at Lu Yuanfeng, who was clutching her wrist.
Since Lu Yuanfeng severed ties with the Old Lu Family, Gu Jiulian hadn’t bothered him for a long time.
Ultimately, she was scared!
Back then, Old Sir Lu and Old Lady Lu would intervene, but now, they had no say.
"Did you take my words as nothing?" Lu Yuanfeng’s face was cold, emanating a bone-chilling air, his eyes full of anger.
"Fengzi, it wasn’t me. It was that damn girl bullying Guagua. Didn’t you see your sister fainted, and you’re still helping her?"
Gu Jiulian hurriedly explained, only making things worse!
"I don’t want a sister with such malicious intent, and you, don’t you dare set foot near my house ever again!"
Finished speaking, Lu Yuanfeng let go of his hand, and Gu Jiulian fell to the ground.
Lying there, Gu Jiulian cursed and said very nasty things, but Lu Yuanfeng didn’t pay her any attention and took Mu Shuangshuang’s hand, leading her towards the direction of the Old Mu Family.
