"Mu Qingqing, you’d better put away your greedy eyes. Taking what you want through plundering is the worst way.
If you really want these things, you should know whom to bla. You know it in your heart."
The Old Mu Family’s focus on one major branch, while neglecting the other branches, is the root cause of everyone’s struggles.
Unfortunately, these people are lost in their own worlds, always thinking that Mu Shuangshuang is everyone’s enemy.
Hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words, Mu Qingqing’s thumbnail dug deep into her own flesh.
In front of Mu Shuangshuang, Mu Qingqing felt like everything about her was under Mu Shuangshuang’s control, and she...had no secrets.
"I’m going to start putting makeup on you, you’d better not move, or I’ll ruin your face!"
Mu Shuangshuang squinted her eyes and warned.
Sure enough, Mu Qingqing finally behaved.
She began to focus on fixing up Mu Qingqing’s face.
Transforming Mu Qingqing was indeed so effort, after all, she wanted Mu Qingqing to be chosen as the weaver, so she had to stand out and get the village’s approval.
After thinking about it, Mu Shuangshuang felt that makeup alone wouldn’t suffice, and she needed to add so words.
Most people in Er Gui Village have no money, so when they choose, they will tend to favor families with money, like that of Shen Rong.
Or the daughter of Fu Jiu, Fu Xiaonan, only these two families in Er Gui Village have money; the rest can’t afford new clothes except during holidays.
"Sigh, choosing the weaver is indeed sowhat unfair; Shen Rong’s family has money, Fu Xiaonan’s family has connections.
Oh, right, I forgot to ntion, when I ca, I seed to see Xiangxiang and Fu Xiaonan fighting. The villagers who want to rent land from Fu Jiu might not choose soone from the Old Mu Family!"
Mu Shuangshuang casually ntioned Fu Xiaonan, and as expected, Mu Qingqing’s expression changed.
Her mood suddenly turned sour, and she seed to lose all energy, as if all her strength had been drained.
Mu Qingqing was just brainless and hated Mu Shuangshuang, but she wasn’t oblivious to the village affairs.
The village couldn’t afford to offend the two households: the Wang Family, the only landlord in the village, and the Fu Family, with Fu Jiu facilitating land rentals; without him, villagers couldn’t rent land.
Realizing she had been tricked, Mu Qingqing’s gaze turned vicious in an instant.
"You tricked out of my money!"
Mu Qingqing looked at Mu Shuangshuang with certainty.
"Yes, and so what? Haven’t you bullied enough before? And if I’m not mistaken, that money should be stolen, right?
Grandma guards her money like her life, you couldn’t steal from her. Only you know where Second Aunt hides her money, but I rember last ti Second Aunt’s money was taken by Grandma, so this ti, how did she manage to save up this silver?"
Mu Shuangshuang stared at Mu Qingqing, her sharp eyes instantly seeing through her.
"I..." Mu Qingqing was frightened by that gaze and, thinking of the things Mu Shuangshuang ntioned, felt a sense of despair.
She missed the chance to be chosen as the weaver and trapped herself instead.
"I...Mu Shuangshuang, don’t forget, your third branch is separated now. When Big Brother gets his governnt degree, the third branch doesn’t deserve to enjoy it. Our second branch will be the ones following Big Brother."
Mu Dade was a tension, holding all the remaining mbers of the Old Mu Family taut.
"It makes no difference to tell . The villagers don’t know how impressive Big Brother is, but honestly, if Big Brother did get his degree, then they’d really choose you as the weaver."
Mu Shuangshuang intentionally guided Mu Qingqing, and sure enough, after hearing her words, Mu Qingqing’s eyes suddenly gained so confidence.
With the issue resolved, Mu Shuangshuang began fixing Mu Qingqing’s face, but not with total attention.
After all, it’s a ga she was bound to win; why put in so much effort?
So Mu Shuangshuang dismissed Mu Qingqing in the ti it takes an incense stick to burn and headed to the kitchen with 150 Wen.
In the kitchen, everyone hadn’t eaten. They were all waiting for her.
"Why aren’t you eating?"
The al was already on the table. The ribs and corn were still steaming hot, suggesting they had just been reheated.
"You child, you wait for us when we work, now that it’s you, we can’t wait for you?" Yu Si Niang shook her head helplessly.
"Alright, alright, I know you’re the best, Mom. We can eat now, but before eating, I need to give out red envelopes!"
As Mu Shuangshuang spoke, she took out 150 Wen wrapped in cloth.
"No, we don’t want it, Shuangshuang. Your earnings are yours to keep." Mu Dashan waved his hand quickly.
He was now relying on his daughter for support, so he couldn’t take his daughter’s money.
"Shuangshuang, I don’t want it either. You’ve been tired all day, hurry and eat."
Mu Shuangshuang’s seat was beside Lu Yuanfeng, so Lu Yuanfeng stood up to pull out Mu Shuangshuang’s chair and even handed her the chopsticks.
This gesture was completely intended to let Mu Shuangshuang sit back and enjoy her al.
"Dad, Mom, and Fengzi, it’s my birthday today, and I earned so money. Giving everyone so lucky money is the right thing to do. Don’t feel burdened in your hearts."
Besides, everyone here was family; her money wasn’t given in vain.
Mu Shuangshuang gave thirty Wen to Mu Dashan, Yu Si Niang, and Lu Yuanfeng each for the sa amount, and for the three children, she gave five Wen each.
Even with only 45 Wen left, Mu Shuangshuang still earned it.
She picked up the bowl and began to eat, and let tell you, ho cooking just tasted better.
After eating two bowls of mixed grain rice, Mu Shuangshuang was finally full. She didn’t really reach for more dishes, but when she glanced up, the dishes on the table were still mostly untouched.
"What’s up? Hurry and eat the at. It’s so hard to get, and if you don’t eat it today, it’ll spoil tomorrow."
Even though it was already July, the weather hadn’t cooled, and dishes made in the morning went bad by afternoon.
Yu Si Niang prepared a large table of dishes tonight, and if they weren’t finished, they’d spoil by tomorrow, sothing Mu Shuangshuang would hate, so she decided to push and make everyone finish them.
"Sister, if you don’t eat, neither will we."
Little Zhi pouted and said in a babyish voice.
As she spoke, the Little Black Dog waiting for bones on the floor barked in perfect cooperation.
"I was hungry and didn’t pay attention to take the dishes. Don’t follow my lead."
Mu Shuangshuang looked helpless; she really forgot, not to save food for the family.
Her goal now was to gain weight; being skinny was not good at all.
But nobody believed her a bit when she said that.
Seeing that no one understood, Mu Shuangshuang picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of rib.
"Since none of you are eating, I’ll eat alone. Anyway, if I stuff myself to death, it’s on ."
Mu Shuangshuang pretended to be upset, and only then did the others start taking food, with the little children reacting the most. Yuanbao grabbed a big rib and began happily, "Sister Shuangshuang, you don’t know how good Aunt Si’s cooking is! I almost drooled."
