70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 231: A Little Silly But Kind of Cute

Early the next morning, after Xu Mumu woke up, she told Madam Chen and the others about Du Yu’s visit. Li Caixia and Madam Chen were both at home in the morning.

While Xu Mumu was playing with her little brother, Du Yu arrived with Qin Hao, this time it was only Qin Hao who came.

Seeing them coming over, Madam Chen warmly welcomed Du Yu and the others inside.

"Mumu, is this your little brother? He’s so cute." Du Yu saw the little guy being held by Xu Mumu and poked the little guy’s fair cheeks with his finger.

The little guy didn’t cry at all and grabbed Du Yu’s finger, trying to put it in his mouth.

"You can’t eat that." Xu Mumu said with a headache. This little guy wanted to put everything he saw into his mouth, perfectly inheriting her mother’s fondness for eating.

"Sit down, eat whatever you want, we have some snacks here." Li Caixia brought out a bamboo fruit plate with some candies in it; only when Du Yu and the others visit do they get this treatment. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t get even one candy from Li Caixia.

"Thank you, Auntie." Du Yu said with a smile, unwrapped a candy, and popped it into his mouth.

"No need to be polite with us, eat as much as you like." Li Caixia smiled even more happily.

"Mumu, let’s go fishing." Du Yu pinched the little guy’s face and looked at Xu Mumu expectantly.

"Sure, Minglei, do you all want to go catch fish?" Xu Mumu called all the kids.

"Yes, we want to, sis, you should go borrow the fishing net from Yin Zhiqing." Xu Minglei immediately put down his book and looked at Xu Mumu expectantly.

"No problem." Xu Mumu nodded, then led a group of kids towards the team’s riverside.

She let Qin Hao and the others fish a little upstream and then ran off to find Yin Yang.

"I’d like to borrow your fishing net; my brother and the others want to catch fish with it." Xu Mumu said to Yin Yang.

"Sure, I’m free anyway, I’ll come along to see them catch fish." Yin Yang handed the fishing net to Xu Mumu without hesitation.

"Let’s go then, you carry the net." Xu Mumu smiled at Yin Yang while holding her little brother.

Once they arrived at the riverside, the kids were already in the water, and Yin Yang handed the fishing net to Xu Minglei, who was his future brother-in-law, needing some buttering up.

When Yin Yang and Xu Mumu arrived, Du Yu noticed them right away; he and Qin Hao were baiting their fishing rods.

Du Yu had a very deep impression of Yin Yang, there was nothing he could do, the man was just too good-looking.

"Yin Zhiqing, you’re here too?" Du Yu said with a smile.

"Hmm, you remember me?" Yin Yang looked at Du Yu; he naturally knew Du Yu, since Du Yu had a good relationship with Xu Mumu, Du Yu was someone he paid attention to.

"Of course, I do, you’re so good-looking, it’s hard to forget." Du Yu joked with a smile.

"You chose such a position downstream, will Minglei and the others catching fish below affect your fishing?" Xu Mumu looked at the cousins.

"No problem, we’re not expecting to catch much fish anyway." Du Yu said with a smile, not minding at all, they were just here to have fun.

"Du Yu, that’s enough, alright, you’re here to have fun, but I’m not. If we don’t catch any fish, I’ll throw you in as fish food." Qin Hao glanced at Du Yu, exasperated, wondering why this guy always needed a smack.

"Ah, brother, let me tell you, with your fishing skills, it’s better not to show off, or you’ll embarrass yourself." Du Yu unhesitatingly stabbed his own cousin in the heart.

"You little brat, itching for a beating, aren’t you?" Qin Hao gritted his teeth, glaring at Du Yu, making him lose face in front of other girls.

Xu Mumu is very pretty, and even though he had a bit of a crush on her, when he saw Yin Yang walking over with Xu Mumu, that idea completely vanished, he was completely outclassed in looks.

"Mumu, I’ve cleaned this stone, do you want to sit? It’s sunny over there." Yin Yang warmly said to Xu Mumu, pointing to a spot under a camphor tree, shielded from the sun by its shade.

"Sure, you can sit too." Xu Mumu nodded with a smile, holding her little brother, pulling a rattle drum out of her bag to entertain him.

"Let me do it." Yin Yang was a bit eager to play with the rattle drum when he saw it in Xu Mumu’s hand.

Xu Mumu didn’t mind, handing over the rattle drum to him directly.

The sound of the rattle drum echoed in front of the little guy, who reached out with chubby hands, trying to grab it.

"Your little brother is so lively." Watching the active little guy, Yin Yang said warmly.

"All day long, full of energy, just looking at him gives me a headache." Xu Mumu laughed; even though she complained about the little guy, in truth, she spoiled him fiercely.

"That’s nice, your family has lots of people, how lively is that? My family can’t even get lively even if we wanted to." Yin Yang chuckled softly.

"Hmm, we’ve known each other for a while now, but I still don’t know where your family is from." Truth be told, she was quite curious about Yin Yang’s background. There wasn’t much written about him in the book, making him seem all mysterious.

"My hometown is Lan City, but I haven’t been back in many years. Our home there was raided; there’s nothing left." Yin Yang’s voice was soft, even a bit indifferent.

"Your family used to be big landlords, huh?" Xu Mumu wasn’t all that surprised; from Yin Yang’s mannerisms, it was clear he wasn’t someone from an ordinary family, plus he was quite well-off.

"Pretty much, I’ll tell you more about it later. My family’s situation is a bit complicated." Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu; outside wasn’t the place to talk, so he wouldn’t say much.

"Alright." Xu Mumu nodded with a smile.

The rattle drum in Yin Yang’s hand moved unconsciously, bringing back some unpleasant memories from the past.

"Why are you spacing out?" Watching Yin Yang, Xu Mumu waved her hand in front of him.

"I’m sorry, I just thought of something from before." Yin Yang said, somewhat apologetically. He hadn’t expected to get lost in thought in front of Xu Mumu and wondered if she had a bad impression of him now, feeling a bit melancholic. He hoped the image he’d worked hard to cultivate wasn’t ruined today.

"It’s okay, it doesn’t look like you’re much older than me, how could your family bear to let you come down to be a Zhiqing?" Xu Mumu said with a smile, a bit dazed and cute.

"Except for my grandfather, there’s no one left in my family. My grandfather came here, so I naturally followed." Yin Yang said with a smile.

"Sorry, for bringing up something that saddens you." Xu Mumu paused for a moment, not expecting to receive such an answer.

"It’s nothing, I’m not sad at all." Yin Yang shook his head with a smile. His grandfather passed without much suffering, and he grieved for two years when his mother died, but he moved on eventually. As for his own father, he was someone Yin Yang personally sent to prison, just short of seeing him executed with his own eyes.

After his father died, Yin Yang handed over the body cheerfully to the authorities and came to his grandfather’s place to become a Zhiqing.
