CHAPTER 272: CHAPTER 271: VERY RESILIENT (SECOND UPDATE)

When Yu Liulang stuffed all the things into the kitchen for Mu Shuangshuang, Mu Shuangshuang finally had an idea of what to cook for lunch.

Homemade sweet potato noodles are best used for stewing with pork.

Moreover, Mu Shuangshuang remembered what Yu Si Niang had said: a pot of noodles with a few pieces of fatty pork is delicious.

She called Little Zhi to watch the house, and Mu Shuangshuang went to Wang Erma’s house to weigh the meat, but unexpectedly, she ran into Wang Gousheng at Wang Erma’s house.

Since last time when Wang Gousheng was pantsed and tied to the tree by Mu Shuangshuang, he lost face in the whole Er Gui Village, especially now that Lu Yuanbao had a group of half-grown children with him, who often found trouble with him. Wang Gousheng hated Mu Shuangshuang, the instigator, even more.

"Dad, it’s this stinking woman who tied me to the tree last time. You must not sell her pork."

Wang Erma’s least favorite person is Lu Yuanfeng, because Lu Yuanfeng is the village’s best hunter. He always sells the game he catches at a low price to the villagers, causing Wang Erma to lose a lot of things.

Mu Shuangshuang is very close to Lu Yuanfeng, which Wang Erma also dislikes, especially after his son was tied up and exposed to everyone, making him more and more furious.

"You little brat, what do you know? Get out of the way, don’t interfere with my business."

Wang Erma scolded his son nonchalantly, while putting on a smile, and gently asked, "Shuang girl, what do you want? I have freshly slaughtered pork here, very fresh. Buy more, and I will give you a discount."

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t plan to buy too much. If she didn’t know exactly when her uncle would come, she could actually take Little Black up the mountain to try her luck and see if there were any rabbits.

The rabbit Lu Yuanfeng gave last time, Yu Si Niang couldn’t bear to eat, so she took it to town and exchanged it for silver and bought some necessary things for the family.

"Uncle Wang, just give me a pound of five-flavor pork, that’s all. How much is it?"

Knowing the price of the meat, Mu Shuangshuang still asked symbolically.

"Fifteen wen per pound, I will cut the best piece for you." Wang Erma said, as he began to glide the slaughtering knife over the half piece of pork.

Mu Shuangshuang noticed that Wang Erma cut a large piece of meat, looking like twenty pounds or more, but she didn’t pay much attention, thinking he might divide the meat and then cut the five-flavor pork for her separately.

Unexpectedly, Wang Erma directly placed the piece over twenty pounds on the scale, and after weighing, he said to Mu Shuangshuang: "Shuang girl, it’s a total of twenty-five pounds, you owe me four hundred wen, the meat is sixteen wen per pound."

Mu Shuangshuang frowned and instantly realized she was being ripped off by a swindler forcing a sale.

"Uncle Wang, what did you say? What twenty-five pounds? I just want one pound of meat, fifteen wen should be enough."

Wang Erma sneered, slammed the slaughtering knife onto the chopping board.

"You little brat think you’re playing games with me? You said twenty-five pounds, I cut it for you, dare you not take it?"

Wang Erma was ugly to begin with, with a face full of pox like stars. Now showing a grim expression, coupled with his big yellow teeth resembling gold, instantly disgusted Mu Shuangshuang to retreat three steps.

Wang Erma was confident, as he believed Mu Shuangshuang was merely a little girl easy to bully.

Once she admitted and bought his meat, he would go find Yu Si Niang and Mu Dashan, asking them for money. By then, his pork would be sold, he’d have the money, and would have taught the one who humiliated his son a lesson.

"You little brat, hurry up and call your parents over to take this meat, and prepare four hundred wen for me, else you won’t like what I’ll do."

"Uncle Wang, this accusation is quite amusing, my family neither holds banquets nor has any major events, what would we do with so much meat?"

Just as Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, Wang Erma raised his voice: "Mu Shuangshuang, don’t think just because your family is poor, I, Wang Erma, will let you fool me for nothing. Ask around, doesn’t my reputation in selling meat mean cutting as much as ordered?"

Just then, a villager buying meat saw the scene and said meanly: "Indeed, Shuang girl, since you ordered it, you should pay for it. We are all from the same village, reputation is everything."

With the help of these bystanders, Wang Erma’s expression grew more and more smug.

Mu Shuangshuang was too lazy to deal with such idiots and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Wang Erma hurriedly stepped forward to stop Mu Shuangshuang, and the previously scolded Wang Gousheng also came out, the father and son’s sinister smiles were identical, clearly intending to ruin Mu Shuangshuang that day.

"Get out of my way, I said I didn’t say it, and I didn’t. If you keep blocking me, don’t blame me for being impolite."

She had hit women before, but hitting men she hadn’t done in a while, unsure if she’s gotten rusty.

Wang Erma was furious. He didn’t expect, in this situation, Mu Shuangshuang still wouldn’t admit she ordered this much pork.

"Since you won’t admit your wrongdoing, I’ll teach you a lesson today as Mu Dashan."

Mu Shuangshuang sneered: "If you’ve got the guts, come on!"

Wang Erma raised his hand, swinging it in Mu Shuangshuang’s direction, simultaneously, Wang Gousheng also swung his fist forward. But before they could get close to Mu Shuangshuang, a force scattered them, making them fall to the ground.

"Bang," two loud crashes, Wang Erma and Wang Gousheng fell with a thud, as if their buttocks were run over by a cart, painfully hurt.

Mu Shuangshuang looked at Lu Yuanfeng with joy, he had fury on his face, and looked like he wished to devour Wang Erma and Wang Gousheng.

"Lu Yuanfeng, you... you dare hit me, I tell you, I, Wang Erma, won’t let this go today."

"Who allowed you to touch Shuangshuang?" Lu Yuanfeng looked down at the Wang family father and son.

"This stinking girl ordered meat but wouldn’t pay, made me cut twenty-five pounds extra, if she doesn’t compensate me today, I’ll hit both of you together," Wang Erma said stubbornly.

"Nonsense, do you think everyone is like you, full and bored, buying so much meat for nothing? I came today to tell Shuangshuang that my family slaughtered a roe deer; whatever meat she wants today, she can have."

This was probably Lu Yuanfeng’s first time swearing, but it felt anything but vulgar, instead, there was a natural dominance and charisma in his words.

Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but give Lu Yuanfeng a thumbs up, too domineering!

"Are you crazy, what’s so great about this stinking girl that you’d help her?"

With Lu Yuanfeng’s words, Wang Erma knew he couldn’t use Mu Shuangshuang’s greediness to eat meat and lack of money as a reason. So he unwillingly looked at Lu Yuanfeng.

"This is my business, none of your concern!"
