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

Chapter 374: Chapter 372 This Man Is Too Handsome (Third Update)

”Grandma, my mom is like this, and you still want her to work?” Mu Qingqing raised her voice, trying to mimic Mu Shuangshuang’s way of being arrogant.

But she hadn’t figured out the difference between her and Mu Shuangshuang.

”If she doesn’t work, then you do it! From now on, you’ll wash all the clothes and bed sheets by yourself, and empty the chamber pot from my room every day.”

Old Mrs. Mu snorted coldly and gave Mu Qingqing a sideways glance.

”Don’t think that just because you’ve become some so-called weaver you can flaunt in front of an old woman like me. The Seventh Night festival is over, and no one will come to see your ugly face.”

Old Mrs. Mu’s few words made Mu Qingqing burst into tears.

Mu Qingqing rushed out of the room and ran into Mu Xiangxiang, who was in the yard looking for some food.

Enemies met, and their eyes were burning with hostility. Mu Xiangxiang took a kick at Mu Qingqing’s feet, causing her to fall flat on her face, looking utterly miserable.

Mu Xiangxiang squatted down, touched Mu Qingqing’s cheek. ”Oh, this is still the face of a weaver, isn’t it? Already knowing how to seduce people at this young age? Let me tell you, make sure to stay out of my way or I’ll take your life!”

After speaking, she stepped heavily on Mu Qingqing’s backside, only relenting when she heard Mu Qingqing’s wail. But unexpectedly, she felt pain underfoot and toppled forward, falling flat on her face.

Mu Qingqing looked up to find Mu Shuangshuang standing not far away, holding a small stone. Without thinking, she pointed and shouted at Mu Shuangshuang.

”Auntie, that nasty girl threw a stone at your foot.”

Mu Qingqing’s shamelessness made Mu Shuangshuang lose the last bit of sympathy for her, telling herself that from now on, she would no longer actively help anyone from the Old Mu Family.

No matter if it was the pitiful fourth household or the slightly sympathetic Mu Qingqing she had just shown mercy to.

If the fourth household wanted to rise, they’d need to show sincerity. She wouldn’t squander her sympathy any longer.

The result of helping the seedlings grow was not that the seedlings flourished, but rather that they were killed.

After figuring this out, Mu Shuangshuang suddenly felt at ease.

The lousy affairs of the Old Mu Family had nothing to do with her. With that extra time, it would be better to think about ways to make money, and earn some more.

”Fengzi, let’s go, let’s head to the mountain and see if there’s anything good, we’ll have a feast this noon.”

Seeing the two get ready to leave, Mu Qingqing got anxious. She wanted to remind her aunt to punish the nasty girl quickly.

Mu Qingqing turned her head, only to find that Mu Xiangxiang now had white foam at the corners of her mouth, staring straight at Lu Yuanfeng beside Mu Shuangshuang.

Lu Yuanfeng was tall and well-built, unlike the fair and slender men Mu Xiangxiang had seen in the town for years. None of them were as robust as Lu Yuanfeng; his waist, his buttocks...

Every glance made Mu Xiangxiang blush a bit more. In the end, she stood up and walked to Lu Yuanfeng.

”Hey, what’s your name? How come I’d never seen you before? Do you think I’m pretty?”

Mu Xiangxiang’s face, still thickly plastered with powder, flaked off as she talked.

Lu Yuanfeng turned away in disgust, completely ignoring Mu Xiangxiang.

But Mu Shuangshuang reacted as if her tail had been stepped on.

”Auntie, what are you doing? If you lack a mirror, go pee and take a look. See if you’re pretty.”

”Nasty girl, ugly freak, how dare you meddle in my affairs, courting death!” Mu Xiangxiang glared at Mu Shuangshuang, spouting words that were exactly like Old Mrs. Mu’s.

”Humph!” Mu Shuangshuang snorted coldly and dragged Lu Yuanfeng away!

Lu Yuanfeng lowered his head, looked at his hand being held by Shuangshuang’s small hand, and couldn’t bear to look away.

Even though he knew she was holding his hand out of necessity, he was still happy.

After reaching the corner, Mu Shuangshuang’s anger hadn’t dissipated.

The words Mu Xiangxiang said made her feel that Mu Xiangxiang had taken a liking to Lu Yuanfeng. Actually, it wouldn’t matter if she did, but now she couldn’t be perfectly sure of her feelings. If anyone dared to touch Lu Yuanfeng, she’d be furious with them!

”Fengzi, stay away from my aunt in the future; she’s not a good person, her mind’s very vicious.”

After speaking, Mu Shuangshuang regretted it a bit. She usually didn’t badmouth anyone to Lu Yuanfeng because she would just use her fists. But now she was like a complaining woman.

What on earth was wrong with her?

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t know that Lu Yuanfeng liked her like this, liked her telling him to stay away from other girls, liked her domineering attitude in his presence.

Only then did he feel that she cared about him.

But some things, if you don’t say them, others might not know.

”Fengzi, let’s go to the mountains, wander around, bring Lai Mi and Little Black, see what today’s harvest is like.”

”Okay!”

Mu Shuangshuang went back to grab two dogs for her bamboo basket, while Lu Yuanfeng went back to get the bow and arrow. Together, they headed toward Niuwei Mountain.

Once on the mountain, Mu Shuangshuang released Little Black.

Things in the forest are more fond of the forest, Little Black and Lai Mi ran wildly on the mountain, and in no time, they’d vanished from sight.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng first checked the traps they had set earlier to see if there was any game.

But not a single one, not knowing why, there hadn’t been any animals in the traps lately. Used to be some wild rabbits and such, but now there was nothing.

Just as she was about to speak, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng heard a sparse set of footsteps approaching from that direction.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng exchanged a glance, then Mu Shuangshuang hid in the bushes.

Soon, two men walked up to the trap, took a look inside, and found nothing.

One of them spat into the trap, cursing under his breath.

”Brother, what do you think has been going on lately, that even the traps of this damned kid have no game. If this continues, we’ll starve to death.”

The speaker, Lu Yuanfeng recognized.

The Huang Brothers from Tie Dao Village, who like him were hunters.

But they always lingered near Tie Dao Village, never came to Er Gui Village, and certainly wouldn’t go into Niuwei Mountain. So why this time?

”How would I know, you keep asking! That damned kid always carries so much game down. Could he eat it all alone? Just knows how to hog the food.” Huang Da puffed a breath of thick air, impatiently questioning Huang Er.

”For sure he can eat it all, with that damned kid always having a girl with him. She opens her mouth too. Just don’t know when that damned kid might change places. Always the same few pits and beast traps. Animals won’t come here anymore.”

Hearing this, Mu Shuangshuang understood, so they came to freeload and still complain.

She and Lu Yuanfeng exchanged a glance, signaling how to handle it, but Lu Yuanfeng just suggested waiting to see.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Lai Mi came rushing over with his chubby body.

”Woof woof~”
