CHAPTER 473: CHAPTER 470: CLEAR CALCULATIONS (21ST UPDATE)

Lu Yuanfeng’s words seemed to have drained him of half his strength. Fortunately, beside him, there was someone always accompanying him, giving him the courage to persevere.

Old Sir Lu didn’t know why, but suddenly he got angry and shouted at Lu Yuanfeng.

"You say leave and just leave like that, ignoring an old man like me completely?"

"These years, raising Yuanbao, how much money have we spent? You give me every penny you’ve got."

Lu Yuanfeng’s face suddenly turned cold.

"Old Sir Lu, are you really intending to settle scores with me by saying this? When I left home to join the army, the court gave a subsidy of one tael of Silver."

"When I returned, the court gave me ten taels of Silver, plus the money from the military camp, I gave you twenty taels."

"Every day I hunted, the game I brought back, just that alone was worth at least one tael of Silver."

"Yuanbao was raised by you for six years, how much did he eat from you, that it wasn’t worth these twenty-two taels of Silver?"

Lu Yuanfeng felt pain in his heart, not because of what Old Sir Lu did that hurt him, but because Yuanbao had suffered too much under the care of these wolves all these years.

Fortunately, he had returned!

Fortunately, he refused the benefits given by the military camp, even if it meant he would not be happy being honored in the future.

Old Sir Lu glared viciously at Lu Yuanfeng.

"When your mother gave birth to you, I should have smashed that dog thing dead! Disloyal, unfilial, be careful or you’ll be struck by lightning!"

Having said so much, Old Lu was still unwilling to press his fingerprint, Lu Yuanfeng confronted him, his gaze sharp and unyielding.

Mu Shuangshuang suddenly let go of Lu Yuanfeng’s hand, formed her hands into a megaphone shape, and shouted.

"Everyone come and see, selling the daughter-in-law to get the son married, breaking news at the Old Lu Family..."

"Damn girl, shut up!" Old Sir Lu hurried to get down but stepped into the air, falling to the ground.

The people of the Old Lu Family all came out into the yard.

Lu Yuanfeng’s fourth uncle, the idiot, wanted to cover Mu Shuangshuang’s mouth and charged at her.

Mu Shuangshuang dodged, and he missed, pouncing on thin air.

"Everyone come and see, the heartless eunuch, selling his daughter-in-law..."

"Lack of virtue and shame, losing all conscience..."

Mu Shuangshuang shouted while dodging.

The villagers’ ears were like dogs’, as soon as there was any commotion, they became excited and started looking around for a target.

This time, Mu Shuangshuang’s voice was loud enough, and the topic sensational enough, a big crowd was on their way.

"Stinky girl, I’ll fight you!"

Lu Zizhang picked up a vegetable knife from somewhere and charged toward Mu Shuangshuang.

Inside the house, Lu Yuanfeng watched this scene, grabbed a stool, and rushed out. Before he could take action, Mu Shuangshuang was one step ahead, kicked a stone with her foot, and it smashed towards Lu Zizhang’s knee.

"Crack", Lu Zizhang knelt on the ground, the vegetable knife in his hand cut a line across his chest, and blood started gushing out. "Ah... ah..."

Lu Zizhang went crazy, continuously making monosyllabic sounds.

In the yard, several people were scared out of their wits, Lu Yuanfeng acted as if he hadn’t seen it, turned, and went back into the house to continue forcing Old Sir Lu to press his fingerprint.

Things had come to this point, Old Sir Lu was angry but that was useless, he pressed his fingerprint on the contract and threw the Xuan paper to the ground.

"Get lost, get lost, and never ask for old Lu Family again!"

After saying this, Old Sir Lu lay back down on the bed, huffing in anger. Lu Yuanfeng picked up the letter of severance from the ground, took Mu Shuangshuang’s hand, and left.

Lu Zizhang was still howling, Mrs. Chen hugged him and cried a lot, but who could blame?

No one could be blamed, except to blame this idiot for being so ruthless.

Outside the Old Lu Family’s yard, Lu Yuanfeng let out a long sigh.

"Shuangshuang, I’ve finally gotten rid of this family, but from now on, I only have you and Yuanbao as my family." Lu Yuanfeng murmured to Mu Shuangshuang.

"Fool, you still have your mother, you still have my parents, Xiao Han and Little Zhi, my sixth uncle, those people are all your family, whenever you need, they will help you!"

Mu Shuangshuang’s words gave Lu Yuanfeng a new strength.

"Hmm, you’re right, I still have so many family members, let’s go find the village head first and handle this matter."

Severing ties is easier than dividing property, they went to the village head Wang Zhi’s house, Lu Yuanfeng explained his intentions and reasons, and the village head agreed to handle it.

Deep down, Wang Zhi was quite moved by what Lu Yuanfeng said.

He hadn’t been village head for that long, but he just didn’t know of that matter.

"Fengzi, don’t worry, I’ll take care of this for you."

"Thank you!" Lu Yuanfeng said.

At this moment, Mu Shuangshuang spoke up. "Village head, you know a lot of people, could you help us check with the village heads of the villages you know, and help us keep an eye out if anyone has seen Lu Yuanfeng’s mother?"

After all, time has spanned a long period, relying solely on individuals is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, in ancient times, with inconvenient transportation, finding someone was even harder.

If there are acquaintances, going from person to person, it should be much easier.

Wang Zhi was surprised by Mu Shuangshuang’s cleverness, indeed, a village head knows the people in his village the best, he knows exactly who comes and goes.

"I know several village heads, but your portrait is not enough..."

"Don’t worry, we’ll go back and continue drawing, and send you plenty more."

Mu Shuangshuang promised, and only then did Wang Zhi set his mind at ease.

"Alright then, we’ll settle it like this! You go back and wait for my news."

...

...

Time flew by for several days, Mu Shuangshuang spent any available time tirelessly drawing portraits of Lu Yuanfeng’s mother, fortunately, many people were willing to help.

However, there still wasn’t any useful information.

Today was the day arranged to build the outhouse, early in the morning, the Huang Brothers arrived.

In just ten days, Mu Shuangshuang noticed a big change in the Huang Brothers, they looked much paler.

"What happened to you all, did you apply powder on yourselves, getting so pale?" Mu Shuangshuang teased.

"How could it be, boss, we found work in town!"

"What work?" Mu Shuangshuang asked curiously.

"Working as bouncers in a casino, no need to go out every day, just watching over in the casino, whoever causes trouble, we brothers will beat him to death." Huang Er said proudly.

Next to him, Huang Da couldn’t win against his words.

"You’re such an idiot!" Huang Da said helplessly.

"How am I an idiot, can’t I talk about what I do, we’re not killing or arsonists, aren’t we working with our own strength?" Huang Er puffed out his chest, shouting loudly.

"Huang Da, what job you do is your choice, Fengzi and I won’t stop you, but we still hope you work in a good environment."

Such a place as a gambling house is ultimately filthy, best to avoid it!
