From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 840 - 836: Learn from Your Eldest Aunt (First Update)
"No way!" Lu Yuanfeng seriously held onto Mu Shuangshuang’s hand, refusing to let go.
The seriousness made Mu Shuangshuang feel a bit amused.
"Fengzi, you can’t just act like a rascal," Mu Shuangshuang said.
Lu Yuanfeng blushed, hesitating for a while before saying, "Even if I act like a rascal, it’s only towards you, Shuangshuang."
After saying this, he sneaked a glance at Mu Shuangshuang. Seeing she wasn’t angry, Lu Yuanfeng continued, "I don’t care; anyway, you said it yourself, I heard it all."
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t realize before how thick-skinned this man was—it was women who gradually made him this way.
Now she understood.
Before, wasn’t Fengzi very shy?
Holding hands would make him blush, but now not only hand-holding but even hugging was a common thing.
Not to mention, now he even wants her to kiss him.
The more she thought about it, the more Mu Shuangshuang felt she couldn’t indulge him like this.
Otherwise, all her tofu would be eaten up.
"Fengzi, I decide..." Before she could finish speaking, Lu Yuanfeng directly cupped her face and pinned her against the wall.
It felt like a century had passed. Mu Shuangshuang stared wide-eyed at the man in front of her, bold as a bull, with her hands already clenched into fists, yet she couldn’t bring herself to punch that face.
But if she didn’t get back at him, Mu Shuangshuang felt unsatisfied.
So, she simply jumped up, cupped Lu Yuanfeng’s face, and gave it right back to him.
Lu Yuanfeng’s mind went blank, and he stared at Mu Shuangshuang as if he was dumbfounded, his eyes even wider than hers.
The two young people were immersed in their world of love, each making attempts again and again, both cherishing this relationship deeply.
...
Liu Zian sat at Mrs. Lin’s side for a long time, having several cups of tea, but Mrs. Lin hadn’t mentioned any way to make Shuangshuang not angry.
Instead, since Liu Zian came in, Mrs. Lin had been introducing Mu Qingqing.
"Zian, that child Qing is kind, honest, and very filial. She doesn’t let Daddy Gou Dan and me work at all on weekdays."
Mrs. Lin pointed at Mu Qingqing and said.
Liu Zian smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond, so he let Mrs. Lin boast about her daughter by herself.
"You don’t know, before Qing’s uncle passed the exam, our family had a lot going on, Qing helped with cooking, washing clothes, and farming..."
Mrs. Lin was putting every possible crown on her daughter’s head, without any reservation.
Mu Qingqing cooperatively stood by with a shy smile.
In Mrs. Lin’s view, all men love gentle and virtuous women willing to work, and if she has a good face, even better.
Just as well, her daughter looks good, more than suitable for Liu Zian.
"Our Qing is someone with good fortune; when she was born, there were beautiful auspicious clouds in the sky."
Being praised for so long, Mu Qingqing felt embarrassed listening to herself, especially when she found out Liu Zian didn’t particularly care. She quickly put on a shy face, "Mom, stop it, I’m not that good."
"You child, why be shy? Mom’s not lying, it’s all true, what’s there to feel embarrassed about? You’re so excellent, whoever marries you might become a lord."
The more Mrs. Lin spoke, the more straightforward she became. If Liu Zian still didn’t get it, he would truly be a fool.
"Auntie, I have something to do, I must go." Liu Zian stood up, wanting to leave.
But Mrs. Lin wouldn’t allow it; she signaled Mu Qingqing with a look and added, "Look at you, child, why so impatient? How long have you been here? Last time your mom was here, she stayed all morning, at least stay for an hour."
"Auntie, I really have something to do. If there’s a chance, I’ll have my mom come to visit personally, okay?"
One can’t hit a smiling face with a hand; Liu Zian couldn’t speak harshly to Mrs. Lin.
Seeing Liu Zian insist on leaving, Mu Qingqing poured him another cup of tea, "Brother Zi’an, you should listen to my mom and sit for a while. It’s very cold outside. If you want to study, I can borrow some books from my uncle for you, will that work?"
"No need, I... I’m not wanting to study; I have other things to do," Liu Zian shook his head.
"Then just sit for a bit longer. If you want to ask anything, you can ask me." Mu Qingqing spoke softly.
Liu Zian really didn’t want to ask Mrs. Lin or Mu Qingqing anything by this point.
He decided to handle his own matters, alone.
"No, no, I have no questions, I just want to go back!"
Liu Zian was quite embarrassed to stay at the second branch, and hadn’t said much, mostly being questioned by Mrs. Lin.
She asked about his future plans, whether it was to stay in the Capital or in the county.
Whether it was the county or the Capital, Mrs. Lin didn’t mind, as long as it’s not this small Mud Legs Village.
Having another cup of tea, Liu Zian insisted on leaving and Mrs. Lin couldn’t stop him.
She could only watch as Liu Zian left the territory of the second branch and headed towards the third branch.
"Mom, that Liu Zian doesn’t like me at all; his heart is with that wretched girl in the third branch. Mom, what should we do?" Mu Qingqing looked displeased.
She originally thought that her mom bringing Liu Zian over would help her gain an advantage.
Turns out, it wasn’t.
He came only to make that wretched girl not angry.
"Qing, you don’t understand this. All men are lecherous; they eat from the bowl while looking at the pot. He may seem indifferent to you now, but how do you know he’s not harboring feelings for you deep down?
Just like your uncle, at first, he and that Ruan Jiaojiao were childhood sweethearts, looking as if they were about to marry, appearing loving to everyone. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
In the end, wasn’t it your aunt who was one step ahead, directly drugging your uncle so the two were glued together? Your aunt had more skills than that Ruan Jiaojiao and could offer your uncle more things.
Your uncle didn’t care about anything and married your aunt. All these years, haven’t they been fine? Have you seen your uncle take a concubine?"
Mrs. Lin brought up Mu Dade’s example with reason.
She had ways to deal with Liu Zian.
She just didn’t want to use them before.
Since Liu Zian wouldn’t do as she said, she’d learn from Mrs. Jin.
If Liu Zian, a scholar, really had something happen with her daughter and didn’t marry her, she would make sure Liu Zian couldn’t bear the consequences.
"Mom, you mean we should do like aunt?" Mu Qingqing asked.
"As expected of my daughter Lin Xiaozao, you understand right away! You are in a much better position than your aunt. Although your aunt’s family claims to be scholarly, look, who truly passed the scholar exam there?
Aren’t they just passing time? You have your uncle as a backing, your status is not lower than Mrs. Jin was then. Moreover, Liu Zian is much more honest than your uncle; you wouldn’t suffer marrying him."
Mrs. Lin’s little schemes were clicking loudly.
