CHAPTER 435: CHAPTER 432: TEAM BATTLE? (FIRST UPDATE)

"Before anyone buys vegetables, they will look at the quality and condition. If it’s good, naturally they’ll buy it; if not, they won’t pay."

"But with your attitude and the way you look down on people like a dog, even if your bean sprouts are top-notch, we definitely won’t buy them. Even if you give them away for free, we don’t want them!"

Today, Lu Yuanfeng was incredibly assertive, speaking with more confidence than usual. Mu Shuangshuang enjoyed the feeling of being protected and silently gave Lu Yuanfeng countless praises in her heart.

"You little punk, are you here to cause trouble? How dare you say you wouldn’t even take my vegetables for free!"

The stall owner was infuriated. He came out from behind the stall, holding a kitchen knife, looking fierce and aggressive.

"I’m just stating a fact! Shuangshuang, let’s go!"

Lu Yuanfeng said confidently, ignoring the stall owner’s face darkened by anger, and pulled Shuangshuang away.

Although the stall owner was holding a knife, he dared not approach rashly because Lu Yuanfeng’s sharp gaze and overwhelming presence made him unable to even raise his hand.

He was just bluffing to scare people, but Lu Yuanfeng was more imposing, leaving him unable to do anything against him.

Along the way, the smile on Mu Shuangshuang’s lips revealed her good mood.

She had just witnessed the stall owner being so intimidated by Lu Yuanfeng that he didn’t dare stop them.

It was indeed quite amusing and funny.

But what Mu Shuangshuang was most curious about was the exorbitantly priced bean sprouts.

"Fengzi, why are bean sprouts so expensive? Soybeans aren’t that pricey, right?" Mu Shuangshuang asked curiously.

Moreover, in modern times, just a couple of dollars’ worth of bean sprouts can make a big bowl, but the ones she just took weren’t even enough for half a bowl.

"Rarity makes them valuable; bean sprouts are hard to cultivate, so naturally, they’re expensive! People usually buy a bit of bean sprouts during festivals or when guests come, to put in hot pot."

"Generally, people don’t buy bean sprouts to eat, as just a little costs three coins. I think even meat isn’t priced like that."

After listening to Lu Yuanfeng’s words, Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes lit up.

"Fengzi, you said bean sprouts are very expensive?"

Perhaps for people of the Da Ning Dynasty, bean sprouts are difficult to cultivate, but for her, it wasn’t a challenge at all?

"Yes!"

"Great, let’s buy some soybeans, and I’ll plant bean sprouts tomorrow, then sell them in town to earn a lot of silver!"

Mu Shuangshuang was in high spirits. She had been worrying that she spent ten taels of silver on buying Mr. Mu’s three acres of land, leaving her purse empty.

This new opportunity turned into a source of income for her. She really did have good fortune; whatever she wished for, she got, whatever she thought of, appeared.

Lu Yuanfeng saw that Shuangshuang was serious about growing bean sprouts, and even though he was surprised how she knew this, he trusted her more.

If Shuangshuang said she could do it, she would!

In Lu Yuanfeng’s heart, Mu Shuangshuang was almost like a deity; whatever others could do, she could!

What others couldn’t do, she could as well.

Bold yet meticulous, rarely impulsive, she was thorough in everything.

This kind of Shuangshuang gave Lu Yuanfeng a sense of urgency, prompting him to work harder, or he wouldn’t be able to stand before her and protect her.

"Let’s check out other vegetables; if there’s anything tasty, we’ll buy some more."

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng took a few more rounds but didn’t find anything special; it was mostly meat or fish.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng would catch fish in the river. Sometimes with good luck, they could catch quite a few.

As they were heading back, they took the wheelbarrow and pushed it out of the town.

Just as they left the town, they were surrounded by a group of people.

Seven people in total, wearing rough linen clothes, showing muscular arms.

"Hand over the money!"

Mu Shuangshuang was taken aback. She had walked this road countless times and never encountered a robbery.

Today, they suddenly encountered one, and seven people at that.

It was quite a coincidence that they blocked her and Lu Yuanfeng.

"Do you know who we are?" Mu Shuangshuang’s face showed no fear.

There was nothing to be afraid of for her. She had encountered situations like this before.

Once, after work, she was blocked by some hoodlums demanding money. But after she flashed her credentials, they ran away without even daring to pick up their knives.

The seven men seemed strong and mighty, but their steps were somewhat unsteady; clearly, they were bluffing, just appearing muscular.

"I don’t care who you are; I’m telling you, hand over the money, or I’ll kill you!"

After speaking, the leading man drew a dagger and waved it in front of Mu Shuangshuang.

"Shuangshuang, step back a bit, I’ll handle this."

Lu Yuanfeng, having spent five years in the military camp, knew that such hoodlums acted on impulse.

"Fengzi, let’s not fight one-on-one today; let’s battle together!"

Mu Shuangshuang’s words made Lu Yuanfeng pause; he didn’t quite understand what she meant.

"Shuangshuang, what do you mean by ’battle together’?"

"Battle together means the two of us charge together, beating them so hard they’ll be rolling on the ground!"

The seven men on the opposite side were provoked by Mu Shuangshuang’s arrogance, feeling agitated, gearing up for a fight.

Mu Shuangshuang was no pushover either; she rolled up her sleeves, and she and Lu Yuanfeng set the cart aside.

Mu Shuangshuang deliberately observed them; those seven men didn’t blink at all, unlike what they claimed about seeking wealth.

The seven people charged towards Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng; the first one was kicked flying by Lu Yuanfeng, landing several meters away.

The remaining few swarmed, but before they could get close to Mu Shuangshuang, Lu Yuanfeng had dealt with them.

Mu Shuangshuang stood aside, dumbfounded.

They were supposed to rally together, and instead, he singlehandedly solved everyone.

The robbers lay on the ground, moaning in pain, looking utterly pitiful.

Mu Shuangshuang casually picked up a stick and, relying on the fear Lu Yuanfeng had instilled in them, boldly asked, "Tell me, who sent you. To fail so miserably at robbery, you’ve embarrassed all robbers."

"Who... who said we’re not robbers? We are robbers. I’m telling you, do whatever you want; if I make a sound, I’m your son!"

The black lines on Mu Shuangshuang’s forehead fell everywhere.

Wasn’t he just howling here earlier?

Did he think she wouldn’t dare to act?

Mu Shuangshuang smiled faintly, grabbed the man’s hand, twisted it behind his back, and kicked him in the butt.

With a "crack," the man’s arm dislocated.

"Ouch, ouch... Please spare me, ma’am, I’ve learned my lesson, it hurts... it hurts..."

The man screamed in pain, his followers trembling with fear, after they had assured them that Mu Shuangshuang was just a woman with no combat capability.

But she had effortlessly dislocated their leader’s arm.

"This is your last chance. Who sent you? If you don’t tell, I’ll chop all your arms off, and you’ll never show your face again!"
