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

Chapter 563: Chapter 559: So Tired That She Fell Asleep (Second Update)

”Can’t sleep!”

Lu Yuanfeng lay on the kang, looking up at the beam.

It’s the first time being so close to Shuangshuang. Even though there’s a wall between them, he can still feel her presence.

”How about we chat like we did in Er Gui Village?” Mu Shuangshuang suggested.

”Sure, Shuangshuang, what should we talk about?”

Lu Yuanfeng couldn’t think of a topic and let Mu Shuangshuang choose.

Mu Shuangshuang thought for a long while and then said, ”Fengzi, what was your first impression of me?”

Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang’s situation was already worrying Mu Shuangshuang. If they talked about it, neither of them would sleep tonight.

”What’s wrong? Why aren’t you talking? Did you fall asleep?”

On the other side of the mud wall, Lu Yuanfeng had been silent for a while, so Mu Shuangshuang thought he had fallen asleep.

”No... The first time I saw Shuangshuang was on the village path. At that time, Yuanbao and I came down from hunting and saw you lying on the ground. I thought you were just a small kid from some household because you were so skinny...”

Speaking to this point, Lu Yuanfeng felt heartache.

”Did you think I smelled bad?”

The first time Lu Yuanfeng saw Mu Shuangshuang was the day she crossed over.

Mu Shuangshuang always felt that was when her fate with Lu Yuanfeng began.

Out of so many people, only Lu Yuanfeng rescued her.

”No, I’m a man; I don’t care about those external things.”

Lu Yuanfeng was honest. If he cared about those things, he wouldn’t have taken Shuangshuang home.

There was something else Lu Yuanfeng never dared to say.

By the stream that time, Shuangshuang was bathing, and he and Yuanbao were swimming in the water. Even though he quickly submerged below, he still saw some things he shouldn’t have.

But this, Lu Yuanfeng would never tell Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang felt sweet inside. Actually, she was discontent with herself at that time, or she wouldn’t have rushed to clean up.

”Then what was your impression of me?” Lu Yuanfeng asked in return.

As he asked, he climbed off the kang and put his ear against the wall, afraid to miss Shuangshuang’s words.

”Well, it should be when my mother saved Yuanbao. You came to my house and brought some meat to thank my mom. Before that, I just messed with my second aunt and was struggling with how to resolve it, and you appeared right on time and even cooperated with me to tell a lie.

Back then, I felt you were really nice. As we got closer, I found you really silly, giving me everything, always helping with work, facing danger ahead of me, standing up to your elders for my sake.

Honestly, Fengzi, a man like you is every woman’s dream, one you can’t find even when holding a lantern.”

Everything Mu Shuangshuang said was true; Lu Yuanfeng couldn’t stop smiling. Listening to her praise, he imagined how Shuangshuang looked when complimenting him.

Their conversation drifted; with each sentence, Lu Yuanfeng smiled wider, until his face almost froze from smiling.

On the other side, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng chatted until weariness hit. She fell asleep without telling him.

On the mud wall side, Lu Yuanfeng continued talking alone until he realized there was no sound from the other side, almost at daybreak.

”Shuangshuang...”

Lu Yuanfeng softly called, but there was no response from the mud wall side.

”Shuangshuang...”

On his second call, Lu Yuanfeng understood Shuangshuang had fallen asleep.

”Shuangshuang, sweet dreams!”

Lu Yuanfeng whispered and lay down to sleep.

Early the next morning, Lu Yuanfeng went to find Sun Erniu to ask about the situation in the jail. He learned that although Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang were not free, no one bullied them, and with Zheng Zhi’s instructions, the jail wardens were very kind to them.

However, the place was too damp and not suitable for a long stay.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng hadn’t eaten breakfast and rode quickly towards Er Gui Village, reaching the village by noon.

Once back, she went to find the three kids.

The three kids were in the yard, having slept at Zhao Yun’s house overnight and waiting for their parents to return without eating breakfast.

”Sister...”

All three spoke at once, running towards Mu Shuangshuang and hugging her legs.

Little Black and Lai Mi had no legs to hug and were anxiously circling around.

Lu Yuanfeng hadn’t returned; he was at the village’s water ditch, watering the horse and letting it graze.

No matter how urgent, the horse needed to be fed. You can’t expect the horse to run fast without eating grass; it was almost impossible in these times.

”Have you eaten?” Mu Shuangshuang asked with concern.

The three kids lowered their heads, not daring to look at her.

”You all...”

Of course, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t believe Aunt Zhao Yun didn’t feed them. It seemed they refused to eat.

”Next time, just wait a bit. I’ll make you something. In the coming days, I and Brother Yuan Feng will be very busy. You’ll need to eat at Aunt Xiao Yun’s place and stay there at night. Once Mom and Dad return, I’ll cook something delicious for you.”

”Xiao Han, you’re the older brother; you must take care of Little Zhi and Yuanbao. Also, Yuanbao, you’re Little Zhi’s big brother. You need to care for her too. Rewards for doing well; punishment if not good when sister returns!”

”Okay, we understand!” The three kids said in unison.

Mu Shuangshuang went into the kitchen and quickly cooked some simple vegetable and shredded meat sweet potato noodles. The three kids managed to eat a big bowl of it.

While the kids were eating, Mu Shuangshuang went to Old Mu Family to find Mu Dalang.

It was lunchtime, and if she went to the main house, she could find Mu Dalang.

It was mealtime; these days, ever since Chen Hong came, she deliberately did things to provoke Old Mrs. Mu.

The dishes had just been placed on the table. Before Old Mrs. Mu started distributing them, Chen Hong had already piled food into her bowl and Mu Danian’s bowl.

”Where did you come from, you wench, daring to act recklessly on my turf?” Old Mrs. Mu said angrily.

”Mom, Danyan is getting old; it’s not suitable for you to personally serve him. He’s got hands and feet; it would be laughable if others saw!”

The strange tradition of serving food in Old Mu Family was something the family had long wanted to stop.

Old Mrs. Mu was too selfish; the good food and drink went first to little sister Mu Xiangxiang. After Xiangxiang ate, then Mr. Mu, herself and finally the sons...

In such a sequence, only Mu Xiangxiang really got to eat anything.

”The business of the Old Mu Family, when could it be your place to talk, you shameless wench? Before stepping in, you already call me mom; where’s your thick face?”

Old Mrs. Mu rudely questioned Chen Hong.

”Mom, I should call you mom. Your son slept with me; am I not his wife? Or are you not Danyan’s mom?”
