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

Chapter 292: Chapters 289-290: ’The Man in Her Heart’ (Part 1)_3

Marriage, after all, is about two people living together. I can’t just live off a man’s looks, right? When I’m hungry, I still need bread and steamed buns.

As for money, I’ve got hands and feet, so I don’t need anyone else to support me.”

Lu Yuanfeng listened to Mu Shuangshuang’s words and nodded occasionally.

For some reason, hearing Shuangshuang’s words lightened the burden in his heart a bit, but he increasingly felt that Shuangshuang was special, different from any other girl.

”Fengzi, you should also remember, when marrying a wife, don’t just think about finding a pretty one. Just find someone with a good personality who treats you well.”

Lu Yuanfeng said nothing, but he looked at Mu Shuangshuang with a thoughtful expression.

”Speaking of Qixi, Shuangshuang’s birthday just happens to be on that day.”

Yu Si Niang, who entered the room at some point, leaned against the door, eyes filled with laughter, and looked meaningfully at Lu Yuanfeng as she said this.

Lu Yuanfeng’s hand holding the ink line paused slightly, a thought flashed quickly through his mind, the motion was so swift that even Yu Si Niang, who was watching him closely, didn’t notice.

Yu Si Niang didn’t say anything more, but she already had an idea in her heart. Once Qixi was over, Shuangshuang would be fourteen, and after waiting until the following year, she’d reach the age of fifteen. Thinking about it, the daughter wouldn’t be able to stay at home for many more years.

If we don’t spend good time with her now, I’m afraid we won’t have this opportunity in the future.

Mu Shuangshuang showed little interest in the so-called birthday, as she really couldn’t remember how long it had been since she last celebrated one. That sort of thing didn’t hold much meaning for her; it was less practical than eating or getting dressed.

The three of them each pondered their own thoughts, while Yuanbao came over clutching a big, golden-yellow corn cob.

The corn, already gnawed unevenly by him, had half-chewed kernels on each part, looking quite unsightly.

Mu Shuangshuang originally intended to laugh, but Lu Yuanfeng kept a straight face and sternly approached, ”Yuanbao, you haven’t finished the corn properly. Go back and eat those leftovers, and don’t waste food.”

”Oh~” Yuanbao pouted and went back to gnaw on the kernels he had abandoned.

One must admit, Lu Yuanfeng’s method of education was indeed effective. Yuanbao faced punishment for mistakes and received praise for good actions.

Even though Yuanbao’s mother was no longer there, Mu Shuangshuang felt that Yuanbao’s childhood wouldn’t lack due to Lu Yuanfeng’s presence.

”Fengzi, stop working and go eat something. It’s getting late, and my mom and I are heading back now.”

The intent of making a late-night meal was to prevent Lu Yuanfeng from starving. Now that the food was ready, Mu Shuangshuang was happy to head back.

Lu Yuanfeng felt a thousand reluctances, but since it was indeed late, he didn’t feel comfortable keeping them any longer.

”Let me walk you and Aunt Four back. I also want to stretch my legs after working for so long.”

”Alright, but eat first and let it digest a bit.”

”Got it!” Lu Yuanfeng smiled contentedly.

With company, Lu Yuanfeng ate his late-night snack leisurely, enjoying a corn cob, a bowl of broth, and half a piece of stewed meat.

After he finished eating, Mu Shuangshuang was about done stretching her limbs.

The flat area outside Lu Yuanfeng’s kitchen was large enough that Mu Shuangshuang practicing her martial moves didn’t disrupt his meal; her grappling and combat techniques only piqued Lu Yuanfeng’s interest.

He felt an itch in his heart, like a cat was scratching it. Even as he walked Mu Shuangshuang to the door, he couldn’t resist asking.

”Shuangshuang, that thing you were practicing outside the kitchen, is it particularly powerful?”

Mu Shuangshuang raised an eyebrow, ”Naturally. But since you’ve had a late-night meal today, it’s not suitable for a trial. Next time, let’s find a time, and I’ll practice with you.”

Mu Shuangshuang herself felt a bit eager. Even though she felt like a little sprout in front of Lu Yuanfeng, practicing more could only be beneficial.

”Anyway, we’re here. You should head back early. That table, finish it if you can, but if you can’t, put it off until tomorrow morning. Staying up late is really harmful to your health.”

Mu Shuangshuang rambled on and on, but Lu Yuanfeng didn’t feel annoyed. Instead, the more he listened, the more he wanted to hear.

Finally, it was Yu Si Niang who couldn’t suppress her drowsiness, prompting the two to each return to their homes.
