CHAPTER 278: CHAPTER 277: VERY SEDUCTIVE (FOURTH UPDATE)

Here, Mu Shuangshuang followed Lu Yuanfeng back to his house, without taking a break, the two started cleaning up the leftover things from midday.

To make braised meat, quite a few ingredients are needed. Fortunately, they are not hard to come by, and Lu Yuanfeng’s family has most of them.

Mu Shuangshuang was busy preparing ingredients in Lu Yuanfeng’s kitchen, while Lu Yuanfeng was beside her helping wash various items to be braised.

The two cooperated extremely well. By the time Mu Shuangshuang had all the ingredients ready, the ginger, garlic, and scallions were properly chopped, and Lu Yuanfeng had washed most of the odd bits left from the roe deer.

The most troublesome thing at this moment was the intestines, requiring both wine and vinegar, and if it wasn’t for Shuangshuang’s guidance, Lu Yuanfeng would have been quite confused.

While Lu Yuanfeng was still battling, Mu Shuangshuang had already started the fire to prepare the braised meat.

She set Lu Yuanfeng’s rapeseed oil aside and waited for the iron pot to heat up, then started putting in rapeseed oil. Once the oil was hot, she began adding five-spice, Sichuan pepper, ginger, garlic, and scallions. This frying of the spices could attract a crowd with its fragrance alone.

Gu Jiulian had just had lunch and planned to visit the outhouse, relieve herself, and then take a nap. Unexpectedly, while squatting, she caught a whiff of a peculiar fragrance, so enticing that even though she was full, it made her mouth water.

As she squatted, she couldn’t help but wonder what could possibly smell so good. Gu Jiulian hastily grabbed a nearby wooden stick, wiped her behind, and followed the scent, eventually stopping at the door of Lu Yuanfeng’s kitchen.

"Fengzi, what delicious things are you making? Let me have a taste, the aroma is making my mouth water."

Gu Jiulian went straight up, staring at the things in Lu Yuanfeng’s hands over and over again.

"Wow, these are roe deer legs, intestines. Fengzi, you went hunting again, why not send a little to your grandma, eating alone here."

Gu Jiulian chattered endlessly like a fly, and Lu Yuanfeng ignored her because this wasn’t the first time Gu Jiulian had come. Every time she came, she would speak a pile of unpleasant words and then take this and that.

Sometimes, when Lu Yuanfeng wasn’t around, she would take things directly without saying a word.

Even salt jars, oil, and vinegar could be found in her kitchen.

When Lu Yuanfeng ignored her, Gu Jiulian turned to nag Mu Shuangshuang.

"Isn’t this Old Mu Family’s third daughter’s girl? She’s getting prettier as she grows. It’s true that clothes make the man. Before, your stinky appearance smelled worse than the shit in the outhouse."

Mu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes but didn’t stop her hand from putting the meat into the pot.

"You, girl, why do you come here to Fengzi every day? Cooking for him, washing his clothes, could it be that you two have something?"

Gu Jiulian looked at Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng with excitement, her eyes full of gossip.

"Aunt Nine, you chatter all alone, don’t you get tired? My ears hurt just listening. What do you mean me and Fengzi have something? What do you mean I wash his clothes, which eye of yours saw me washing his clothes?"

Mu Shuangshuang tightened the spatula in her hand; she really had no feelings for Lu Yuanfeng’s stepmother. She knew clearly that Lu Yuanfeng didn’t like her, yet she kept pushing her way in.

Not only that, she always wanted to take advantage of it. Truly shameless to the extreme.

"You, girl, why speak so harshly? What do you mean I chatter? Isn’t it your constant closeness with Fengzi? If there was nothing, why stick together every day?"

Gu Jiulian wasn’t really aiming to say bad things about Mu Shuangshuang, she just wanted to put a blame on Mu Shuangshuang to get Fengzi to give her good food.

It wasn’t her first time doing this anyway.

"What has it got to do with you? I do as I please, I go to whichever house I want, but you, why come to Fengzi’s house if you have nothing to do? Stealing things? Or trying to steal food?"

"Hey, you ill-mannered brat, dare to speak to me like that."

Gu Jiulian angrily rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight Mu Shuangshuang. Lu Yuanfeng stood up and pushed Gu Jiulian away.

"Don’t come here looking for trouble, I have nothing for you, and even if I did, I’d rather feed it to a dog than support you, you lazy bug," Lu Yuanfeng said coldly.

"Fine! Lu Yuanfeng, you ungrateful thing, if your brother Lu Yuanbao hadn’t been raised by me for five years, he’d have starved to death. And you still hope to rely on your gambler dad, dream on!"

"Shut up, don’t mention Yuanbao again. If he hadn’t been cared for by my grandma during those years you took him, do you think he would still be alive? If Yuanbao hadn’t survived, I would’ve killed you already."

Lu Yuanfeng roared, stepping forward to Gu Jiulian, grabbing her collar, then walked a few steps and threw her out.

Almost simultaneously, Mu Shuangshuang brought a basin of water she used to wash the roe deer intestines to the kitchen door. Just as Gu Jiulian opened her mouth to curse, she splashed the filthy water onto her.

Gu Jiulian screamed in fright, her nose catching the stinky smell of excrement.

"You... you dirty brat, what did you splash on me? It’s so stinky!"

Mu Shuangshuang curled her lips: "Poop. Aunt Nine, is your nose a problem, or your eyes a problem? A big basin of poop was splashed on you, and you didn’t know?"

Gu Jiulian’s face turned green with anger, stomping furiously and spat towards Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.

"Wretched couple, scoundrels, you’ll regret this!"

"Fengzi, bring me a bowl of the freshly brewed broth. I’m making pig’s hair today."

"Okay!" Lu Yuanfeng turned into the kitchen, sensing Lu Yuanfeng’s wrong stance, Gu Jiulian bolted.

She dashed straight into her house, quickly shut the door, and after a long while, realizing Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t followed her, she relaxed.

"Stinky girl ruined a perfectly good piece of clothing!"

Gu Jiulian cursed vigorously, and inside, freshly awakened Xia Guagua couldn’t help but step forward to ask: "Mom, what happened to you? Why do you smell bad all over, did you fall into the outhouse?"

"Bah, it’s all because of that Lu Yuanfeng and that stinky thing from the Old Mu Family. What’s so good about him? You follow him around and he nearly killed me."

Hearing Mu Shuangshuang was there, a shadow flashed across Xia Guagua’s eyes.

"Mom, Brother Yuanfeng wasn’t like this before. I remember when we first came, he’d bring us good things, it’s that woman who’s brainwashed him, it’s that woman’s fault."

"You’re so grown yet you’re no better than a waste! Can’t even handle a man! Mu Shuangshuang’s a stinky girl who’s uglier and poorer than you, yet she knows to help Lu Yuanfeng cook and wash, please him. Why can’t you go do these things?"

(Good night, tiny kisses ~)
