"You have to first find the person here who is busy dealing with buying and selling land, then we can see where there is land for sale and go check it out, so we won’t waste ti!"
Yu Liulang spoke thodically.
At this mont, Mu Shuangshuang finally understood why Feng Xiaohua liked her uncle. It’s true, her uncle has such a sharp mind and is well-inford, which indeed adds so charm to his personality compared to ordinary people.
"Uncle, do you know about my trip to Yu Family Village yesterday?" Mu Shuangshuang casually asked.
"I do. Didn’t you also bring peaches over? If I knew you didn’t have them here, I would have definitely moved the whole tree for you."
"Haha, uncle, you said it. Next ti you co, help move the tree over." Mu Shuangshuang laughed and agreed.
"You little girl, so crafty and cunning. If I really move the tree over, I won’t be worn out?" Yu Liulang was in a good mood and joked with Mu Shuangshuang, not feeling at all like an uncle who is more than ten years older than his niece.
"No way, my uncle is so capable, a single tree wouldn’t be a problem for you. Worst case, eat a few more eggs."
When Mu Shuangshuang got up this morning, she specially cooked a chicken egg for Yu Liulang. That was Feng Xiaohua’s instruction, and she had to do it.
"I heard from your mother that you brought back a hen from Yu Family Village. Was it given by your grandmother?"
This morning, Yu Liulang didn’t eat that egg; he gave it to Little Zhi and Xiao Han, who are at the stage of growing and needing nutrition.
"No, it was given by a sister. She said she’s getting married and said she knows who I am, letting bring the hen back. When I tried to give her money, she refused. Uncle, how could there be such a silly person in this world, soone who gives a hen to a stranger on the first eting."
Mu Shuangshuang harmlessly said these words, while secretly observing Yu Liulang’s expression.
She noticed that after she finished speaking, Yu Liulang’s face changed a bit and his eyes looked a little dazed.
Yu Liulang knew imdiately after Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking who the silly person she referred to was.
Xiao Hua...
She’s getting married?
To whom?
Seeing Yu Liulang lost in thought, Mu Shuangshuang raised her hand and waved in front of Yu Liulang: "Uncle, what’s up with you? Rembered sothing?"
Yu Liulang composed himself and looked at Mu Shuangshuang: "Shuangshuang, do you... do you know who that sister is marrying?"
Yu Liulang didn’t know why, but he couldn’t help but ask.
"No!" Mu Shuangshuang shook her head.
Yu Liulang suddenly looked like a wilted eggplant!
"But it seems I heard soone say Chunzi or Cunzi is marrying that sister. I didn’t dare to ask given I’m not familiar with her, but she didn’t seem very happy, her eyes were red."
Mu Shuangshuang continued to probe while watching Yu Liulang’s increasingly pale face. She felt herself to be terribly bad, but without using this thod, her uncle might never find his own happiness.
"Zhao Gouchun!" Yu Liulang spat out that na.
Zhao Gouchun was quite famous in Yu Family Village, known for his forty-sothing age and having buried five wives so far; it’s said that even in the neighboring village, no one dared to marry him.
How could it be Zhao Gou Chun?
How is it possible?
Does Xiao Hua not want to live anymore?
All kinds of questions surged in his mind, and Yu Liulang’s body wobbled. If it weren’t for the post behind him, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Shuangshuang, did you... did you mishear?" Yu Liulang asked.
"Probably not, I heard soone saying Chunzi was willing to beco a son-in-law to that sister’s family, like having an in-law aning, to take care of her father in his old age.
But I heard that sister is marrying late due to her age. It’s normal, though; in the village, the older girls are usually matched with undesirable prospects by matchmakers, either with older people, or those with missing limbs. Could it be that this sister is marrying soone like that?"
Heaven knows, Mu Shuangshuang acted innocent and was almost bleeding out with the act, especially seeing her uncle’s frantic expression. The satisfaction inside Mu Shuangshuang’s heart was imnse!
Since her uncle couldn’t recognize his own feelings, she’d add a few stokes of fire, forcing him to face them.
"Forget it, forget it, Uncle, don’t think about it anymore. After all, that’s soone else’s business, let’s go eat. I’ve already set the table!"
Mu Shuangshuang said and tried to pull Yu Liulang up, but Yu Liulang just wouldn’t budge.
"Xiao Hua isn’t sobody else; she shouldn’t marry that kind of person!"
"You an that sister is the Xiao Hua you talk about, the one you said can’t be hurt?" Mu Shuangshuang exclaid in surprise.
"Mm!"
"Isn’t that even better? Once she marries soone, she’ll be soone else’s wife, then Uncle you won’t ever hurt her. If there’s hurt, it’s by her husband. Co on, let’s eat!"
Mu Shuangshuang ntioned eating twice, both with the intent of letting Yu Liulang know that she didn’t care at all.
The less she cares, the more uncomfortable Yu Liulang should feel inside.
"But Zhao Gouchun is not the one to marry. No, I can’t let Xiao Hua marry soone like that, I have to stop her!"
Yu Liulang stood up with a start and was ready to head out.
"Uncle, what will Xiao Hua do after you stop her? Never marry anyone for life? Wasting her life in loneliness?"
Mu Shuangshuang snorted coldly; her uncle’s words showed no real intent to help solve Feng Xiaohua’s problems, just the instinct to interfere.
"I..." Yu Liulang was a bit panicked, his words were out of order.
"Uncle, you don’t understand won at all. Even marrying a fool and living a lifeti with one is better than being pointed and judged, lonely for life.
If you don’t like Xiao Hua, just don’t disturb her life. Let her marry well, and after a few years have a child to accompany her. Then, no matter how bad that man might be, she’d have soone to rely on."
Mu Shuangshuang’s words were entirely in line with ancient won’s thinking, which she personally didn’t agree with.
However, in the entire Da Ning Dynasty, it was a common thought.
Won who grow old alone are scorned, but those marrying fools or madn, no matter how tough, are pitied.
Yu Liulang hesitated; he couldn’t help asking himself what he would do after stopping her.
Keep her like this, never getting married, or let her fall to another Zhao Gou Chun?
Yu Liulang’s mind was in chaos, he squatted down, constantly trying to grasp his own hair, his mind filled with mories of the monts with Feng Xiaohua over these years.
He didn’t even realize when Feng Xiaohua beca the person whose face he could vividly see just by closing his eyes.
His heart began hurting uncontrollably...
Mu Shuangshuang knew that at this ti, she should let Yu Liulang calm down, as any impulsive decision wouldn’t be as reliable as those made with a clear mind.
But she still looked forward to her uncle’s answer!
