CHAPTER 701: CHAPTER 697: YOU WERE ADDICTED TO GAMBLING BACK THEN (FOURTH UPDATE)

"I’m going to find them!"

After Yu Liulang said this, he was about to rush in the direction of the Luo family.

Lu Yuanfeng stopped him.

"Shuangshuang’s uncle, if you go now, it’ll just make people think you’re unwilling to take responsibility.

When the Luo family pours dirt on you, not only will you be forced to marry Luo Xiu’er, but even Shuangshuang’s aunt might not be able to stay."

"Uncle, Fengzi is right, you can’t act impulsively in this matter," said Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang understood deep down that, since Luo Xiu’er had set up such a big trap, she was waiting for her uncle to fall in.

It’s definitely not something that can be resolved in a few words.

With her, it was bound to be a tough battle.

"This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, what should I do to solve this?" Yu Liulang was angry but couldn’t find a way to vent.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "How about I explain to the villagers that I’m not capable, so they won’t suspect me, and your Aunt Xiaohua won’t leave?"

The man was full of anxiety.

He had never experienced anything like this.

He didn’t know how to handle it, nor did he know how to face it.

He was completely bewildered.

"Sixth Uncle, saying these things now will only make the villagers laugh at you; it won’t solve the problem.

Moreover, people will believe it’s an excuse you’ve thought up to avoid responsibility.

Listen to Shuangshuang, and let’s explain clearly to Aunt Xiao Hua. Without her cooperation, this thing can’t be handled."

Mu Shuangshuang vetoed Yu Liulang’s idea.

At this point, no matter what Yu Liulang did, he’d become the target of everyone’s attack.

Rather than that, he’d be better off staying quietly at home.

The three of them returned along the original path, and after reaching a small path in the village, they headed towards the Feng family.

This scene was just witnessed by Old Lady Luo.

She hurriedly ran toward her own home, nearly blowing her rear end apart.

Upon reaching home, she didn’t bother to catch her breath and quickly said to Luo Xiu’er, who was resting on the bed, "Ah Xiu, that brat brought Yu Liulang to find Feng Xiaohua.

The two of them are probably going to make up. What should we do now?"

Luo Xiu’er was already somewhat tired and, upon hearing Old Lady Luo’s words, suddenly jumped out of bed.

"What did you say? That brat brought Sixth Son to Feng Xiaohua?

I knew it, that little bitch is no pushover," Luo Xiu’er said angrily.

While the mother and daughter were talking, Old Sir Luo also rushed in.

After just a few steps, the old man was panting heavily, almost out of breath.

"Xiuxiu, do you think the matter of us putting Yu Liulang in the haystack will be discovered?

Our family is already having a hard time, and if the villagers find out we purposely harmed Yu Liulang, we won’t have anywhere to stand," Old Sir Luo said.

Seeing Old Sir Luo, Luo Xiu’er got angry.

"Enough, chaos hasn’t erupted yet, and you’re already all over the place.

If it wasn’t for your gambling, racking up a debt, I wouldn’t have given up on Yu Liulang and followed that dead old man from the Zhang family.

Now you stopped gambling, but your son is, and the debt still has to be repaid by me."

Old Sir Luo backed up several steps, not daring to look his daughter in the eyes.

"That’s right, you dead old man. If it weren’t for you, who knows how well our Old Luo Family would be doing,"

Old Lady Luo scolded Old Sir Luo, not bringing up her son, Luo Dafu’s matter.

"But, Xiuxiu, can you really get the Old Yu family’s tea garden for us?" Old Lady Luo asked worriedly.

Yu Family Village was primarily known for tea production, with many nearby hills often shrouded in mist year-round.

So, the tea grown there was particularly good.

The Old Yu family’s tea garden was on such a hill.

Others’ raw tea sold for eighteen coins a pound, while the Old Yu family’s could sell for twenty coins, sometimes even higher.

People of the Da Ning Dynasty mostly loved drinking tea.

Good-selling tea naturally brought in money.

Furthermore, Yu Liulang knew how to manage tea, so the Old Yu family earned more and more through their tea garden.

Which family in the village didn’t envy them? Everyone hoped to get a share, any share they could.

"I said I can, so I can, as long as you follow what I say, continue to make a fuss at the Old Yu family every day.

When it’s time to act, don’t hold back, only then will Yu Liulang sympathize with me."

Luo Xiu’er knew Yu Liulang was kind and responsible.

If she lived poorly because of him, he would surely feel guilty.

As long as he was willing to marry her, Luo Xiu’er vowed that she had the ability to make him fall for her again.

"We’re fine, we’ll keep acting our parts.

But Xiuxiu, you haven’t gotten the letter releasing the concubine yet, marrying like this and being discovered by the Zhang family, will it?"

Old Lady Luo was deeply worried about her daughter’s matter being discovered by the Old Zhang Family.

If that happens, not to mention getting the tea garden back, they might lose the person to provide for their retirement.

The son is still young, he can’t take responsibility, otherwise, he’ll be ruined.

"What letter releasing the concubine! That old man let that old hag beat my child away, I’m totally done with his family!" Luo Xiu’er yelled.

"But you said the child wasn’t Old Sir Zhang’s, but someone else’s!" Old Lady Luo said cautiously.

This time, it triggered Luo Xiu’er into a fit of rage.

"You keep saying it! I’ve already told you, this matter must rot in your stomach, do you want me dead?

Let me tell you, if I, Luo Xiu’er, die, don’t expect to get any money, and as for your gambling son, just wait for him to meet his end!"

Luo Xiu’er exploded, scaring Old Lady Luo into not daring to make a sound.

She also shrank into a ball, almost curling into a shrimp.

"Xiuxiu, don’t be angry. Now, relatives don’t want to associate with our family anymore, and your dad and I are counting on you to provide for us, so don’t fall ill with anger,"

Old Lady Luo quickly consoled Luo Xiu’er obsequiously.

Luo Xiu’er glared at her, then climbed back onto the bed.

"I want braised ribs tonight, go buy some. Also, the weather’s getting colder, and that broken house doesn’t have a bed heater, it’s freezing. I’m not going back, I’ll stay here for now.

If anyone asks, just say you’re afraid I’ll jump into the river, and the Old Yu family won’t take responsibility.

Anything else, I’ll tell you when I think of it."

Luo Xiu’er said a long series of things, all instructions for the days ahead.

Old Lady Luo agreed to everything and then dragged Old Sir Luo outside.

Once the house was quiet, Luo Xiu’er’s mood still didn’t calm down.

She knew that all this was caused by Mu Shuangshuang.

If it weren’t for that brat, by now Yu Liulang would have married her.

Since that brat likes Feng Xiaohua so much, she’ll ruin Feng Xiaohua’s reputation.

Let’s see if Yu Liulang still dares to take Feng Xiaohua back.

Yu Liulang belonged to her, Luo Xiu’er, and the Yu family’s estate and wealth were also hers.
