From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 213: Chapter 212: The Overthinking Old Mu Family (Part 3)

Gou Dan finally cried himself out, watching Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng eating pancakes deliciously, drooling.

He sniffed as the snot dripped to the corner of his mouth, greedily staring at the pancake in Lu Yuanfeng’s hand.

He dared not look at Mu Shuangshuang, because she had just beaten him, and he hadn’t forgotten the fiery pain on his backside.

”Do you want to eat?” Lu Yuanfeng casually asked, and Gou Dan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Shuangshuang’s pancakes were delicious, with the taste of dried chili, spicy and flavorful.

Plus, with the hot weather, eating them cold felt very comfortable, Lu Yuanfeng was really reluctant to give them to Gou Dan, he hesitated a bit, and finally tore half of his pancake and gave it to Gou Dan.

”Eat, and don’t cry anymore. You must walk back this stretch by yourself.”

Gou Dan snatched the torn pancake from Lu Yuanfeng and stuffed it whole into his mouth, like a starving wolf released from its cage, after biting twice, he spat forcefully, ejecting all the pancake from his mouth.

”Pah, no meat at all, is this for humans? Cold and hard, not even pigs would eat it!”

While speaking, he smashed the half pancake onto the ground with force.

The half pancake flew far away, stirring up a cloud of dust.

At this, Lu Yuanfeng got angry too.

The pancake made by Shuangshuang, he had only eaten a few bites himself, and cherished it so much, was just abandoned like that.

”Apologize to Shuangshuang!” Lu Yuanfeng’s straight eyebrows furrowed into a knot, his expression turned visibly cold.

Those familiar with him would know that he was already angry now.

But Gou Dan didn’t know, he thought Lu Yuanfeng wouldn’t touch him, so he puffed out his little chest.

”I won’t, it’s pig food anyway, I’m not eating it, I’m not apologizing!”

”You...” Lu Yuanfeng’s face turned red with anger, while Mu Shuangshuang, having finished the last bite of pancake, didn’t even bother to wipe the oil from her hands, grabbed Gou Dan for another good beating.

Being unruly, huh? A good beating will fix that!

Lu Yuanfeng stood there in astonishment, if the first time Shuangshuang took action he could understand, the second time was beyond understanding.

”He’s too noisy, won’t behave without a beating. Let’s finish and hit the road early, tonight I want to make a good meal and invite some people who have been taking care of us for a feast. If it’s too late, we’ll have to postpone to tomorrow.”

With so many ingredients on hand, and the harvest drawing close to completion, Mu Shuangshuang naturally wanted to reward those who have helped her.

”Okay!”

This time, neither took a rest, finally returning to Er Gui Village before sunset.

Little Zhi, Xiao Han, and Yuanbao had been waiting at the village entrance, and upon seeing Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, the three little guys couldn’t be more excited.

Little Zhi was more direct, she pounced the moment she saw them, and Mu Shuangshuang joyfully twirled her around, causing Little Zhi to giggle uncontrollably.

”Sister, I knew you’d come back, Little Zhi was so anxious, Brother Yuanbao even said you and Brother Yuan Feng wouldn’t come back tonight.”

Speaking of Yuanbao, he was now consciously turning Little Zhi, telling her that she would become part of his family in the future.

Especially today, he said something like his brother and Sister Shuangshuang wouldn’t come back because they went to do big things.

Scaring the naïve Little Zhi, while Xiao Han was more mature, only believing what he saw with his own eyes.

”Brother, brother, I didn’t do anything bad today, even had two bowls at lunch.” Yuanbao hugged Lu Yuanfeng, acting coquettishly seeking praise, while Xiao Han stood nearby, watching the scene wide-eyed.

He wanted to join in but couldn’t let down the pretense.

”Xiao Han, come here, let sister give you a hug, have you gained weight?”

Mu Shuangshuang playfully smiled at Xiao Han, immediately making him blush. Yet he still stretched out his arms to hug Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang was sticky all over, her sweat even dampening her hair; if it wasn’t for these circumstances, she wouldn’t really want the kids to hug her.

Gou Dan stood there, seeing Mu Shuangshuang not looking his way, turned on his heel and began to run.

As he ran, he shouted, ”Mom, that stinky girl hit me, the stinky girl hit me...”

Being able to complain right in front of them, only Gou Dan could do that.

”Shuangshuang, he ran, what should we do, should we go catch him?”

Lu Yuanfeng was afraid Gou Dan would go back and talk nonsense, so he couldn’t help reminding Mu Shuangshuang.

”Forget it, don’t bother with him, I’ve already brought him back, the rest is not my responsibility.”

Gou Dan heading back meant she could get that acre of good land now.

Thinking about this, a smile reappeared on Mu Shuangshuang’s face.

”Let’s go, let’s hurry into the village and head home!”

Mu Shuangshuang had just entered the yard, and the people of Old Mu Family were already lined up, each staring at her as if she were a rare artifact, when they saw Lu Yuanfeng dragging a cart with a large wooden bucket on it, each sharp-eyed one wanted to discern what was on it.

Mu Danian, who was tall, stood on his tiptoes and saw the fish in the big wooden basin.

”Oh my, so many fish, how long will it take to eat all these?”

As he spoke, Mu Danian started drooling.

Mrs. Lin was more direct, shouting towards Old Mrs. Mu in the house, ”Mom, Shuang caught a lot of fish back, we’re having fish tonight.”

Inside, Old Mrs. Mu was supervising Mrs. Liu cooking, and upon hearing there were fish, she tiptoed over energetically.

She scolded, ”Lin, what’s the fuss about? What’s up? Is there anything worth you shouting about?”

Mrs. Lin excitedly ran up, pointing at Mu Shuangshuang’s water basin, and cried, ”Fish, a big basin of fish, dozens of pounds!”

Old Mrs. Mu finally came over, being short, she couldn’t see inside the basin with it still on the cart, having to rely on Lin’s word.

She said, ”What are you all standing there for, hurry and help get the fish down for me!”

Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian quickly stepped forward, untied the rope, and lifted the fish from the cart, only then did everyone see the basin full of carp and catfish swimming joyously.

”Wow, so many fish! Our family’s Gou Dan’s got a lucky streak. They say ’survive a great disaster, there’s good fortune afterward’, I think that applies to our Gou Dan, just escaped from danger, now he’s got fish to eat every day.”

Mrs. Lin said, reaching out her hand, ”Mom, let me take a couple to give to my mother’s side, they surely haven’t had such fresh live fish.”

Just as she was about to touch the fish, Mu Shuangshuang waved her hand, directly slapping Lin’s hand back.

”Aunt, what are you doing?”

”Grabbing fish, Shuang, you’re not going to be stingy and not give us fish, are you?”

”Aunt, you guessed right, I am stingy. I’m taking these fish to town to sell, if you want to eat, bring money!”
