Chapter 1609 - 1604: Learn a Thing or Two

"You... you’re talking nonsense!"

Xia Guagua’s momentum dropped significantly.

An expression of guilt appeared on her face.

"Talking nonsense? Open your damn eyes wide and see how skinny Grandma Lu has become! And look at Yuanbao’s face, how swollen it is!" Mu Shuangshuang sneered, her voice sharp.

As she spoke, Yuanbao understandingly leaned his swollen face towards Xia Guagua, showing her the swelling.

"Then what about my mother’s injuries? She’s been beaten black and blue, don’t you think you should kneel down and repent?" Xia Guagua still refused to relent.

"Your mother got beaten, and that’s a great delight, a joyous occasion for all! She deserved it, going around causing trouble, beating Yuanbao and Grandma Lu, getting beaten to death would be just right!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"You... you... I’m going to fight you!"

As Xia Guagua spoke, she raised her hand and charged at Mu Shuangshuang.

Just as she got close to Mu Shuangshuang, Mu Shuangshuang gave her a hard kick.

The kick was extremely heavy, and since Xia Guagua was pampered daily, the kick knocked her to the ground, lying flat on her back, unable to get up for a while.

Seizing the opportunity, Mu Shuangshuang grabbed Xia Guagua by the collar and tossed her out, then shut the kitchen door.

Hell, if she didn’t show her power, everyone would think she’s a sick cat!

Screw her!

This Xia Guagua is getting more and more disgusting!

Can’t knock her senseless!

"Sister Shuangshuang, you’re amazing, she didn’t even dare to fight back just now, she ran away with her tail between her legs!" Yuanbao, standing by, almost had stars in his eyes as he looked at Mu Shuangshuang with admiration.

"Of course! You should wise up in the future too! When getting into fights, if you can win, fight, if not, run! And if you suffer any losses, make sure to come and tell me, I’ll stand up for you!

But the premise is, what you did was right. If you beat someone up for no reason, even if you come to me, I won’t help you, I’ll even give you a beating!"

As Mu Shuangshuang spoke, she raised her fist towards Yuanbao.

Yuanbao nodded heavily, "Yuanbao knows! My teacher also said, a gentleman uses words not fists! Yuanbao won’t fight people randomly!"

"Good boy!" Mu Shuangshuang patted Yuanbao on the head.

"I’ll rub your face again, you’ll see that by tomorrow morning, it won’t be as swollen as it is now!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Okay!"

After Mu Shuangshuang finished rubbing Yuanbao’s face, the medicine Old Mrs. Lu was making for Old Sir Lu was also ready.

As she went to give Old Sir Lu the medicine, Mu Shuangshuang went to check the chicken soup in the pot.

When she lifted the lid, the aroma of chicken soup filled the kitchen instantly.

Yuanbao, standing by, licked his lips, "Smells so good!"

"Yuanbao, go ask your grandpa if he’s hungry, I made chicken soup for him," Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Okay, I’ll go now!"

Yuanbao pushed open the kitchen door and rushed out.

By this time, it was already quite late, and Mu Shuangshuang estimated it was almost midnight.

Normally, one would be in bed having a deep sleep at this hour.

But special times call for special measures, she understood this well.

In the short moment Mu Shuangshuang was absentminded, Yuanbao rushed back in and nodded to Mu Shuangshuang.

"My grandpa’s hungry, my grandma asked me to tell Sister Shuangshuang that you’re working hard!" Yuanbao said in a childish voice.

Mu Shuangshuang scooped a bowl of chicken soup and followed Yuanbao to Old Sir Lu’s room.

Perhaps because the herbal medicine had just been brought in, the room was filled with the strong smell of herbs.

Old Mrs. Lu tended by the bedside, and Old Sir Lu lay on his side on the bed.

Probably due to his long illness, Old Sir Lu looked very pale.

His eyes were deeply sunken and his lips were dry beyond belief.

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang, his eyes moved slightly, and he struggled to sit up.

"Old man, don’t move, this is Shuang, Fengzi’s future wife!"

"I... I know!" Old Sir Lu opened his mouth, but his voice was extremely hoarse.

"I just want to ask her, Fengzi... how is Fengzi..." Old Sir Lu said.

Old Mrs. Lu looked at Mu Shuangshuang with a pleasant expression, "Shuang, can you..."

"Madam, please help the old sir drink the chicken soup first, I’ll tell you about Fengzi while you drink!" Mu Shuangshuang gave Old Mrs. Lu a sweet smile.

Taking the chicken soup from Mu Shuangshuang, Old Mrs. Lu’s eyes instantly reddened.

"Old man, look how good this girl is! In the past, you insisted she was not a good match for Fengzi.

But now, it turns out this girl is the best, our son and daughter-in-law, seeing that we are old and can’t do much work, all hope we die soon.

Da Bao’s mother even beats us every day! Only this girl, and this late, she brought a doctor for you, made you chicken soup..."

Old Sir Lu never stopped regretting.

He worked so hard and sacrificed so much, for the sake of marrying a wife for his fourth son.

He even did such a heartless thing as selling Fengzi’s mother.

As a result, retribution came, what he protected was a white-eyed wolf, but the one he looked down on became his help.

Cry...

Old Sir Lu began to cry.

Already ill, and now crying, Old Sir Lu looked even more haggard.

"Mr. Lu, don’t cry, what’s past is past, we cannot change it, what’s important is the present! Living well in the present is the most important!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"That’s right, the girl is right, old man, we don’t have much time left!

But we can’t just die like this, we have to live long enough to see Fengzi’s mother come back, and tell her we’re sorry face to face!" Old Mrs. Lu said, her expression becoming much more determined.

"Yes, we have to hold on until then!" Old Sir Lu agreed.

...

Leaving the Old Lu Family’s house, it was already past midnight.

Even though it was already the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the night was still as cold as winter.

Mu Shuangshuang and Yuanbao hurried home together.

Yuanbao’s chubby little hand was holding onto Mu Shuangshuang’s hand, he said to Mu Shuangshuang, "Sister Shuangshuang, my grandpa and grandma seem to like you a lot! If my second brother hadn’t severed ties with them, you would be their granddaughter-in-law."

"You talk so much, kid!" Mu Shuangshuang said helplessly.

"Speaking of which, I remember when we weren’t that familiar, you seemed to make a doggerel, do you still remember it?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"What doggerel?"

"The one about your second brother coming home!" Mu Shuangshuang reminded.

Yuanbao still shook his head in confusion, "I don’t remember!"

Mu Shuangshuang thought for a moment and found it understandable.

After all, it had been more than two years.

Yuanbao was just a child, forgetting was normal.

"But, I can make another one for Sister Shuangshuang, I’m sure Sister Shuangshuang will like it!" Yuanbao said confidently.

"Oh, let’s hear it then!"

"Ahem!" Yuanbao cleared his throat, pulled his hand back from Mu Shuangshuang’s grasp, and stretched a bit in place.

"I’m about to start..."
