CHAPTER 335: CHAPTER 333 THIS FEELING IS AWESOME! (PART 1)

"Shuangshuang, your dad is asking when you all will eat."

Yu Si Niang came out from the kitchen and saw her brother Yu Liulang sitting on the ground; she quickly shifted her gaze to her daughter.

Seeing her daughter shake her head, Yu Si Niang was worried but didn’t say anything.

Mu Shuangshuang stood up and said to Yu Liulang, "Uncle, you figure things out, I’m going to eat with mom."

Mu Shuangshuang pulled Yu Si Niang towards the kitchen, and once inside, Yu Si Niang came closer.

"Shuangshuang, what’s wrong with your uncle, why is he like this?"

Yu Liulang has always been sensible; he never spoke harshly to her, nor did he ever ignore her.

But just now, when she went to him, not only did Liulang not respond, he didn’t even answer her when she spoke.

"It’s nothing, mom, don’t worry. My uncle is making an important life decision. Let’s eat and prepare a rice ball with some vegetables for him later, maybe he’ll need it."

As Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, Yu Liulang suddenly stood up from where he was squatting on the ground and walked towards the kitchen in the direction of the third branch.

He entered the room and said to Mu Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, I don’t want Xiao Hua to get married. No matter what, I will stop it. Even if Xiao Hua hates me for the rest of her life, I must do this."

"Uncle, I understand what you’re saying, but if you messed up their engagement, what about the others? They’ll be ridiculed by the villagers for a lifetime."

Mu Shuangshuang remained indifferent, determined to restrain Yu Liulang. The more anxious he became, the more she prevented him from doing what he wanted.

With Yu Liulang’s character, he certainly wouldn’t marry Feng Xiaohua out of responsibility. If that were the case, Feng Xiaohua would have married him long ago.

Yu Si Niang chimed in, "Liulang, since you don’t have a solution, don’t bother them; let others live their own lives. If you prevent her from marrying, how will they get through life?"

"I will marry her! I won’t let her marry Zhao Gouchun because I want to take care of her for a lifetime and support her father!"

Yu Liulang’s voice was confident, not at all like he was joking.

Yu Si Niang was shocked. She didn’t expect, in her lifetime, to hear her brother mention marriage. She always thought he would live under the shadow of Luo Xiu’er...

"You...aren’t joking, right? Liulang, marriage is a big deal, you can’t deceive people." Yu Si Niang clutched her chest, trying to suppress her excitement.

"Yes, uncle, if you’re doing it to help that sister, it’s really unnecessary, because it will hurt her."

Mu Shuangshuang relished the unfolding drama and continued to fuel the fire. At this point, she believed Yu Liulang made this decision out of love, especially with his character—it wouldn’t be out of sympathy.

"I’m not doing it to help her; I’m doing it to help myself. Sister, Shuangshuang, brother-in-law... and everyone, I’m going back to find what is most important to me.

If it works out, I’ll bring Xiao Hua to celebrate Qixi; if not, I’ll never marry in my lifetime."

Yu Liulang looked resolute; clearly, he had thought through this decision carefully.

"Then have something to eat before you leave!"

Yu Liulang had worked all morning and hadn’t eaten or rested yet. Worried he would be too exhausted, Yu Si Niang stood up to serve her brother a meal.

"Sister, forget it, I’m in a hurry to go back, I don’t want anything, and I won’t eat."

He must have been truly anxious, as Yu Liulang didn’t want anything, said his piece, and headed towards the yard outside, ignoring Yu Si Niang’s calls.

Mu Shuangshuang remained casual, "Mom, don’t worry; my uncle’s actions are pretty good—being hungry can score him points with Aunt Xiao Hua. If she’s happy and marries my uncle, everything will be just fine."

"You rascal, how can you think of such cunning tricks? Aren’t you afraid your uncle will be mad at you when he finds out!"

Yu Si Niang couldn’t believe Shuangshuang’s scheme of forcing a marriage, feeling both fresh and a bit worried.

"Not afraid; I’m still a kid, my uncle wouldn’t hit me, right? Besides, Fengzi can help me, I’m not afraid."

Mu Shuangshuang mentioned Lu Yuanfeng, as he was quite skilled. If she truly got into trouble, he would be there to back her up.

"Exactly, with my second brother around, who would dare bully Sister Shuangshuang? Even if my second brother couldn’t handle it, I’ve got Little Zhi and Xiao Han."

Yuanbao extended his chubby little hands to roll up his sleeves, and he did look quite convincingly like a big brother.

The named Xiao Han and Little Zhi nodded enthusiastically.

No choice, Mu Shuangshuang held an important place in their hearts, and they would fight anyone who dared bully her.

Lu Yuanfeng didn’t speak, but his eyes had already shown his stance.

Yu Si Niang was amused and touched—what started as a joke had her children banding together.

Forget it, it’s okay for the kids to be united. At least she wouldn’t worry about them being bullied by others.

"Let’s eat, let’s eat!"

After all this talking, the food had yet to be touched; Mu Dashan had been eyeing the plate of bee larvae, fried and unrecognizable.

"Shuangshuang, what’s this, is it edible?" Mu Dashan asked.

"Of course it is; these are bee larvae. They’re baby bees taken from a hornet’s nest before they’ve grown wings, only deep-fried with nothing else added.

They’re very nutritious, dad, have more, mom, Fengzi, don’t be shy—eat whatever you like."

Mu Shuangshuang especially enjoyed dining with the whole family at a table, and if the atmosphere was lively, all the better.

It was hard for the mood not to be lively with Yuanbao and Little Zhi around.

"Sister, do you think if Little Zhi eats it, a baby bee will grow in her belly?"

Little Zhi asked fearfully while holding a small bee larva with her chopsticks.

"Of course, not only will you grow baby bees, Little Zhi will also grow wings, so Little Zhi best not eat them—give them all to me."

Recognizing it as a deliberate tease, even at her young age, Little Zhi knew her sister was deceiving her.

"Humph, no way, sister is lying; Little Zhi wants to eat them herself!"

Little Zhi tossed the bee larva from her chopsticks into her mouth and started chewing. After finishing one, she happily exclaimed, "It’s so delicious; Little Zhi has never had anything this tasty before; I love you, sister!"

"Sister Shuangshuang, I love you too. You have to make more delicious food for me, come to my house often, and stay with my second brother..." Yuanbao rattled on, all for the sake of tasty food.

Mu Shuangshuang laughed uncontrollably!

The meal was satisfying and enjoyable.

After the meal, Mu Shuangshuang rested a bit, slung a bamboo basket on her back, took Little Black, and headed into the mountains with Yu Si Niang and Lu Yuanfeng.
