"Fengzi, co here!" said Uncle Dashan.
Lu Yuanfeng stepped forward, and Mu Dashan extended his hand.
"Fengzi, you’ve worked hard during this ti, running around with Shuangshuang. I can’t repay you, I can only say thank you..."
Mu Dashan’s words deeply moved Lu Yuanfeng.
"Uncle Dashan, Shuangshuang’s matters are my own. You suffered the injustice of imprisonnt. When Shuangshuang feels hurt, I feel hurt too!
Fortunately, everything is over now. In the coming days, take good care of yourselves. Don’t worry about the household chores; I’ll help Shuangshuang with them!"
Lu Yuanfeng’s words greatly moved the man.
In his heart, Lu Yuanfeng had long been the sa as his own son.
With Shuangshuang following Fengzi, he was relieved!
This was Shuangshuang’s blessing and Fengzi’s blessing too.
"Mom, it’s only been three days and you’ve lost weight!" Mu Shuangshuang said, touching Yu Si Niang’s thin cheeks.
"Shuangshuang, mom’s fine, it’s you who lost weight. Your dad and I are still together, we have each other, but poor you..."
Yu Si Niang began to cry again. As the sky grew darker, Mu Shuangshuang said, "Mom, it’s all in the past. It’s getting late; let’s find an inn to stay in and clean up a bit so we can go back to the village happy and joyful tomorrow!"
"Shuangshuang, I can offer you a place to stay at my house. It’s very comfortable, and there are servants. Co with us!" Shen Rong offered, taking on the responsibility of arranging accommodation.
Unexpectedly, Mu Shuangshuang directly refused!
"There’s no need. I’ll stay at the inn with my parents. We’ll head back early tomorrow; the ho can’t be left unattended."
At ho, there were three children, a dog, a mink, a large pig, and a bunch of chicks that needed care.
Moreover, Mu Shuangshuang really didn’t want to be with the Old Wang Family.
Shen Rong, seeing Mu Shuangshuang’s refusal, looked at Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang in embarrassnt, hoping they would step in. But Mu Dashan agreed with Shuangshuang’s words.
"Niece of the Wang Family, Shuangshuang was right. We’ve been away from ho for too long. We won’t delay in the county. We appreciate your kindness from the third branch!"
Standing in place awkwardly, Shen Rong could only look back at Old Wang.
Old Wang ca over and apologized to Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang.
Unusually, this ti, the man didn’t play nice. He said, "In this matter, Si Niang and I were truly wronged. The people in Er Gui Village may not know our character, but you, Old Master Wang, aren’t you aware?"
"When your cow went missing back then, it was Si Niang who walked three miles to help you find it!"
"Also, during the autumn harvest two years ago, when your family worker couldn’t work, I helped carry the load for your family all afternoon without asking for a penny. Do these not prove my and Si Niang’s character?"
It’s rare for Mu Dashan to confront anyone, but what Old Wang did this ti was truly disgraceful.
If only he had been taken, it’d be fine, but even Si Niang...
If it weren’t for Shuangshuang running around, looking for the prison guard and the County Magistrate’s son, Mu Dashan doubted what the outco for him and Si Niang would have been.
If sothing happened to him and Si Niang, what would happen to the kids?
What would happen to this ho?
This was the first ti Mu Dashan considered the future for himself and this ho.
Old Wang was left red-faced and speechless.
Leaving after these words, the four of them went to find an inn, leaving Old Wang standing there, embarrassed.
This might be retribution, Old Wang thought!
Finding an inn that looked quite nice, the four of them settled in. Mu Shuangshuang asked the innkeeper’s assistant to quickly bring two buckets of hot water for Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang. As for the als, they needed cooking promptly too.
Leaving the house, Mu Shuangshuang knew they probably wouldn’t make it back tonight, so she had brought clothes for Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang.
After a hot bath, Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang felt refreshed, free of the rancid and moldy sll on their bodies.
With their hair and faces tidied up, the sky had turned completely dark.
Mu Shuangshuang booked only two rooms, with Mu Dashan and Lu Yuanfeng sharing one and herself and Yu Si Niang sharing another. The als were placed in Mu Shuangshuang’s room.
The couple went to eat. The food was already set, two at dishes, one vegetable, and a soup.
At ho, this would have been a high standard, let alone when eating outside.
Used to being thrifty, even having suffered in prison, the man wasn’t willing for his daughter to spend so extravagantly outside.
Mu Dashan originally wanted Mu Shuangshuang to be easygoing, buy so at, and make sothing good at ho, but how could Mu Shuangshuang wait until then?
"Dad, mom, these are all your favorite dishes. Dad, what you said to Old Master Wang today was so impressive, Shuangshuang admires you!"
The happiest matter for Mu Shuangshuang now was that the family was no longer a pushover. Not only did they stand up for themselves but also dared to say no to outsiders!
Mu Dashan blushed for the first ti due to such a complint.
Forever afraid of offending others by speaking harshly, always putting others’ needs first, this ti, he learned the feeling of standing up for himself and his family.
"Alright, alright, let’s turn the page. Let’s eat quickly and go back early tomorrow," Yu Si Niang interceded, moving past the Old Wang Family matter.
Of course, her feelings were the sa as her daughter’s and man’s: the Old Wang Family wasn’t easily forgiven.
That night, lying on the bed, Yu Si Niang still felt like she was dreaming. Just days ago, upon waking, she saw snakes and insects. Suddenly, now her daughter was by her side, and the environnt improved; Yu Si Niang naturally couldn’t sleep.
Yu Si Niang chatted with Mu Shuangshuang, asking about the past few days.
Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t sleep either, so she laid everything out in detail, from issues at ho to matters concerning Xia Guagua. Gradually, Yu Si Niang felt sleepy.
However, she held on enough to say, "Shuangshuang, cherish Fengzi. He’s the best person for you in the world; even your dad and I sotis miss things, but he’s wholeheartedly concerned about you!"
Lu Yuanfeng, only a few years older than Shuangshuang, felt like a friend or elder and always helped Shuangshuang.
Recalling the events of the past few days, Mu Shuangshuang knew Yu Si Niang spoke the truth.
"Mom, don’t worry. Fengzi can’t escape from my Five Finger Mountain!"
As the night deepened, the sound of Yu Si Niang’s breathing could soon be heard.
Early the next morning, after eating breakfast at the inn, Mu Shuangshuang went to the carriage house to rent a cart and headed to Er Gui Village. Just at the village entrance, she heard villagers talking.
"The Old Mu Family’s eldest has finally returned; the Old Mu Family is about to prosper."
"You didn’t see it; the clothes he’s wearing look so nice, probably costly!"
"Let’s go and take a look..."
Mu Shuangshuang’s brow instantly furrowed.
Her big brother really returned? And dressed like a fancy person?
My goodness, the Old Mu Family might be turning the world upside down!
