Chapter 1175: Chapter 1171: Scheming Subjects Always Want to Harm Me (Update 1)

Lu Yuanfeng’s attitude was as tough as ever.

Or rather, as long as it involved Lu Xiao, he never showed a friendly face.

Old Lady Lu had long anticipated that asking Lu Yuanfeng to help her son would be a difficult task.

But when Lu Yuanfeng really said those words out loud, Old Lady Lu felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She shook her body, her hunched figure leaning slightly forward.

Her whole being seemed to age several years instantly, and it took her a long while to speak: "Fengfeng, after all, that’s your father! If you can help him, that would be great, but if you don’t want to, that’s okay too!

I won’t force you anymore; just live the life you want to live!"

After finishing, Old Lady Lu left the kitchen of Lu Yuanfeng’s house.

Outside the courtyard, as soon as Lu Xiao saw the figure of Old Mrs. Mu,

he asked excitedly, "Mom, did it work? Is Fengzi willing to lend me money?"

Old Lady Lu gave Lu Xiao a hard look, as if she didn’t recognize him, pushed open the gate of Lu Yuanfeng’s courtyard, and walked past Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was bewildered, thinking he didn’t know why his mother was acting so crazy!

Even so, he followed her, looking at Old Lady Lu with a flattering face.

"Mom, what’s going on? Please tell me! If you don’t say anything, you’ll drive me crazy!"

Old Lady Lu exclaimed angrily, "Die? Why don’t you just go and die? You had such a good wife, and you didn’t keep her. Look what happened now?

Even your own son doesn’t acknowledge you; I wonder who will take care of you in your old age. You might as well end up as a corpse on the street!"

Lu Xiao’s face turned black instantly.

"Mom, is it that brat who doesn’t want to lend you money? Or has the girl from the Old Mu Family charmed him, and he gave all his money to that girl?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"I told you, that girl from the Third Branch of the Mu Family is no good. It would have been better to have Gua Gua marry that brat."

"At least this fertile land wouldn’t have been snatched by that thing. Pah, little slut, seducing men at such a young age!"

Lu Xiao cursed continuously.

And his words were especially unpleasant to hear.

Old Lady Lu didn’t want to pay him any attention and quickly returned to her room.

Lu Xiao stomped his feet, knowing he didn’t have much time left from the town’s gambling den, and he had to gather some money soon!

Brat, since you won’t give me money for the sake of a woman, I won’t be polite to you either!

...

In the kitchen of Lu Yuanfeng’s house, he faced the wall, saying nothing.

Mu Shuangshuang knew he was unhappy deep down and didn’t disturb him.

She just stood in the kitchen, staring blankly at the big iron pot on the stove.

After a while, Lu Yuanfeng came to her side, "Shuangshuang, let’s go see what my room looks like now. I can’t wait!"

Lu Yuanfeng’s smile was a bit forced, and Mu Shuangshuang didn’t point it out.

She reached out and grabbed Lu Yuanfeng’s hand.

Together, with Lu Yuanfeng, they went to the already tidied two rooms next door.

Lu Yuanfeng had witnessed Mu Shuangshuang’s skills in tidying the room before.

The quilt had to be folded like tofu cubes, and the clothes had to be folded and placed in the same direction.

Even the bowls and chopsticks in the house had to be arranged consistently. These were originally tedious tasks, but because Mu Shuangshuang worked quickly, she didn’t hinder his work.

"Shuangshuang, you helped me organize it so well, I’m afraid I’ll mess it up soon."

After all, Lu Yuanfeng was a man, and even if he wanted to keep things as Mu Shuangshuang arranged them,

there was still some gap.

"If it gets messy, I’ll fix it for you! Anyway, there’s always time in the future!" Mu Shuangshuang smiled with her lips closed.

Her smile stunned Lu Yuanfeng.

After a while, Lu Yuanfeng smiled along with her.

The two went outside for a walk again; at this time, there weren’t many people in the village.

Everyone was tired after a whole day’s work, and after dinner, they were busy returning home to rest or continuing to create little ones.

No one had the leisure time to wander aimlessly around the village paths.

Of course, this wasn’t called aimless wandering.

In the distance, in the fields, golden rice plants leaned over, heavy with grain.

When the wind blew, the rice rolled with the breeze, creating waves of ears of rice, one after another, looking extremely beautiful!

Mu Shuangshuang admired the scenery, while Lu Yuanfeng watched her.

The two of them didn’t interfere with each other, but Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t as thick-skinned as Lu Yuanfeng.

Being stared at like that, even if she were a block of wood, she would feel embarrassed.

"Fengzi, stop staring at me; watch the scenery!" Mu Shuangshuang blushed and pointed to the view she had just seen on the distant ridge.

Lu Yuanfeng suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"My wife, I must look at her more."

Because of Lu Yuanfeng’s sudden action, Mu Shuangshuang’s face turned even redder!

Being held by Lu Yuanfeng like this, she suddenly thought of the movie "Titanic" she had seen in her previous life, and the most classic pose from it.

She stretched out her arms, and Lu Yuanfeng hugged her waist from behind.

In fact, Mu Shuangshuang really did just that.

"Fengzi, hold my waist from behind!" she said, then spread her arms.

At that moment, the wind blew towards Mu Shuangshuang’s face, warmly, carrying the scent of love.

For a moment, she seemed to truly feel the love between Lucy and Jack in the movie.

Lu Yuanfeng was mesmerized; at that moment, he felt that the girl in front of him was a fairy.

No, his Shuangshuang was even prettier than a fairy, even better than a fairy!

Mu Shuangshuang was very satisfied, even though she knew Lu Yuanfeng would soon be going to the Northwest, she wasn’t sad.

Because she had many beautiful things.

Memories, remembrance!

In short, at this moment, she was with Fengzi!

The two of them walked back home sweetly, and Lu Yuanfeng saw Mu Shuangshuang off to the courtyard of the Third Branch.

When he turned around, his eyes were full of reluctance.

But thinking about seeing each other again tomorrow, Lu Yuanfeng’s heart started to beat fiercely.

He hurried home, originally thinking this good mood would last a while.

But seeing the person tied to the tree in the courtyard, his mood instantly plummeted!

"Fengzi, this person tried to steal your valuables from the house while you were out. Luckily, I caught him!"

As soon as Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang went out for a walk, Lu Xiao sneaked into Lu Yuanfeng’s courtyard.

He got into his room.

Rummaged around and actually found the jewelry box where Lu Yuanfeng kept his money.

But just as he came out, he ran into Xing Beichen, who was returning home.

Xing Beichen didn’t care who this person was; sneaking out of Fengzi’s house was definitely up to no good.

Xing Beichen tied Lu Xiao up like a bundle on a big tree outside Lu Yuanfeng’s courtyard and snatched the jewelry box back.

Seeing the jewelry box placed on the ground, Lu Yuanfeng’s face turned green with anger.

He raised his fist and swung it at Lu Xiao.

Even before touching Lu Xiao, he started wailing.

"Fengzi, you can’t do this; I’m your father..."
