CHAPTER 327: CHAPTER 325: DOMINANT MAN (PART 1)

"If you don’t want to help me, forget it, I’ll find someone else."

Xia Guagua didn’t like Mu Shuangshuang, but she wasn’t irrational enough to let Wang Fugui take advantage of her.

Xia Guagua pretended to leave, but Wang Fugui blocked her path.

"Why are you so stubborn, young lady? Just lower your head and say something nice, is it that difficult?"

"You mean, just saying something nice will suffice, nothing else?" Xia Guagua asked suspiciously.

Wang Fugui had a terrible reputation in the village. To put it nicely, he was uninhibited; to put it bluntly, he was lewd and shameless.

"Of course, since you haven’t married Lu Yuanfeng yet, our previous promises don’t count."

Wang Fugui wasn’t stupid. If he laid hands on Xia Guagua now, it would definitely cause trouble. But if he helped Xia Guagua and Lu Yuanfeng, the woman would still be his, without any responsibilities. Even if there was a green hat involved, it would be Lu Yuanfeng wearing it.

"But I still think you need to settle things with Lu Yuanfeng first. After all, he’s a man. No matter how miserable I make Mu Shuangshuang, if he doesn’t mind, you’re out of luck."

Wang Fugui had sinister thoughts. As long as Lu Yuanfeng and Xia Guagua consummated their relationship, Xia Guagua would be in his grasp.

Listening to Wang Fugui, Xia Guagua began to worry internally. She had to completely ruin Mu Shuangshuang without giving her any hope.

"Thank you, please make sure to help me." Xia Guagua tiptoed and lightly kissed Wang Fugui’s cheek, then feigned a shy look.

Only she knew how disgusted she felt!

Wang Fugui laughed heartily, taking advantage of the situation and still trying to act considerate.

"Gua Gua, don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you get rid of that smelly girl Mu Shuangshuang."

To gain Xia Guagua’s trust, Wang Fugui began looking for a few of the village’s good-for-nothing men right in front of her.

One of them was Ma Houhou, who once enraged Mu Shuangshuang so much that she spat blood.

Upon hearing it was about dealing with Mu Shuangshuang, Ma Houhou enthusiastically agreed, especially given his house was quite close to Lu Yuanfeng’s, making them practically neighbors.

Particularly since last time, his mother stole a piece of meat from Lu Yuanfeng’s stand, and that pesky girl ruined it, leaving his mother with no face in Er Gui Village since then.

"Fugui, don’t worry, even if you don’t pay me, I’ll deal with that nasty girl. I’ll wait for her on her way back, so everyone in the village knows how she seduced me!" Ma Houhou vowed confidently.

...

...

Mu Shuangshuang, carrying breakfast, arrived outside Lu Yuanfeng’s courtyard. Seeing the wall covered with thorns, she was very satisfied.

Lu Yuanfeng had mentioned that his courtyard wall wasn’t very high, and anyone determined could climb in.

Of course, she knew he meant Xia Guagua. She casually mentioned how modern people put glass and iron hooks on their walls, and he ended up using thorns.

Those thorns piercing the skin couldn’t help but make one shed a layer.

Lu Yuanfeng was working on some carpentry in the courtyard. Perhaps due to the convenience of the courtyard, he brought his work outside.

Yet with the weather not cool, once the sun came up, wouldn’t he be scorched?

Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but frown!

"Fengzi, open the door. I brought some breakfast over."

Lu Yuanfeng looked a bit stunned, gazing dazedly at Mu Shuangshuang for a while before reacting. But it was Yuanbao who shouted excitedly, "Ah ah ah... there’s breakfast! Sister Shuangshuang, I love you..."

Children expressed their affection openly, making Mu Shuangshuang delighted with Yuanbao’s endearing words.

After the courtyard door opened, she waved the basket at Lu Yuanfeng, "Fengzi, stop standing there and come eat. Later, we can think of more tricks for your courtyard."

Lu Yuanfeng set down his axe, rubbed his palms, and saw Shuangshuang enter the house. When she emerged again, she had a basin of water ready.

A towel was tossed into the washbasin, unclear whether it belonged to Lu Yuanfeng or Yuanbao, but likely meant for washing up in the kitchen.

After washing, Yuanbao hadn’t yet brushed his teeth. Or maybe he did, but he remembered to wash his hands and face.

"I’m on it!" Yuanbao said, grabbing a locust branch from the bucket by the bamboo pole. He chewed the end soaked in water, dipped his fingers in salt, and started brushing his teeth.

After Yuanbao finished brushing, Lu Yuanfeng washed his face. Using the same water, Yuanbao washed his face too.

Despite waking early, even now the sun hadn’t risen. A chilly breeze blew, so Lu Yuanfeng and Yuanbao decided to bring out a table for breakfast.

Corn porridge, steamed sweet potatoes, and fried dough sticks were set on the table by Mu Shuangshuang. Seeing such a lavish breakfast, Yuanbao drooled and kept saying how delicious it was, even before tasting it.

"Shuangshuang, won’t you eat with us?"

The breakfast was for two. Unable to resist asking, Lu Yuanfeng queried.

"I’ll eat later at home; there’s plenty left!" The porridge and sweet potatoes Shuangshuang preferred cold, plus she had plenty of errands to run later and couldn’t linger.

Lu Yuanfeng remained silent, broke a sweet potato in half, and handed it to Mu Shuangshuang.

"Eat!"

"I’m really not hungry; I’ll eat when I get back." Mu Shuangshuang grimaced helplessly. She was here to deliver breakfast, not eat it.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanfeng stood up, went into the kitchen, and spent some time tinkering. When he returned, he had two bowls, one filled with freshly fried eggs, two of them.

The other was an empty small bowl. He scooped porridge from a big ocean bowl on the table into Mu Shuangshuang’s bowl, and shared an egg between Mu Shuangshuang and Yuanbao.

Mu Shuangshuang stared wide-eyed as he completed everything alone, cradling a rough earthenware bowl and sipping porridge himself.

"Fengzi, I really don’t want to eat..." Mu Shuangshuang mumbled, marveling at the situation internally.

"You’re too thin, you should eat more. If it’s not enough, I can cook more porridge or make some stir-fried rice for you."

Her protest was completely ignored, as Lu Yuanfeng handed chopsticks directly to Mu Shuangshuang.

Yuanbao, smiling broadly, looked up, "Sister Shuangshuang, you should eat. I’ve never seen Brother Yuan change his mind on something once decided!"

"Yuanbao, no talking while eating!" Lu Yuanfeng sternly addressed Yuanbao, keeping a straight face.

"Okay, okay, I’ll eat, but if Sister Shuangshuang doesn’t, I can’t finish mine either!"
