CHAPTER 141: CHAPTER 141: THE MAN WHO CAN’T BE CAUGHT (FIRST UPDATE)

Xia Guagua held half a peeled melon in her hand, first bending over to look inside the room.

Seeing Lu Yuanfeng wearing a tank top, working on some wood at home, the focused expression on his face filled Xia Guagua with sweet warmth.

Looking across Er Gui Village, no man works as diligently as her Yuan Feng brother, no man is as strong-built as her Yuan Feng brother.

Xia Guagua didn’t have other desires, just staying with Yuan Feng brother for this life would be enough.

"Yuan Feng brother!" Xia Guagua said sweetly to Lu Yuanfeng. "I brought you a melon."

Lu Yuanfeng saw Xia Guagua, first frowned, then smiled, put down the plane in his hand, wiped his dirty hands on his pants, and walked towards Xia Guagua.

At this moment, Xia Guagua felt her heart was about to leap out.

She just knew that usually, when Yuan Feng brother told her to leave, he was just fooling her, he had her in his heart, he wanted her to be his wife.

"Yuan Feng brother, I just knew..." Xia Guagua said excitedly as Lu Yuanfeng gradually approached her.

Lu Yuanfeng walked past Xia Guagua to Mu Shuangshuang.

"Shuangshuang, why are you here? Is it hot? I picked some lotus pods yesterday, planned to deliver them to you later."

Lu Yuanfeng said with a grin.

"More lotus pods? Did you pick them from the lake?"

Summer lotus pods are especially tasty, if you can pick some, peel them, they could make lotus seed soup or lotus seed porridge.

Lu Yuanfeng just knew Shuangshuang would like them.

"These are picked from Lotus Pond River in Niu Village next door, pity they are hard to pick from there."

Lotus Pond River is not a big river, but because it connects to a main river in the South, it doesn’t dry up all year round.

Thanks to Lotus Pond River, the people of Niu Village have one more survival means compared to the nearby villages.

The source of Lotus Pond River is a high mountain, a large area of lotus flowers grows there, come summer, you can see lotus flowers and pods swaying in the river.

People of Niu Village only watched the lush green lotus pods, without a way to pick them because the place was covered in water grass, whether a boat or person, arriving there, would get entangled, unable to move.

Listening to Lu Yuanfeng’s introduction, Mu Shuangshuang immediately had an idea, if no one picks those lotus pods, if she could pick them and bring them to town, they should sell for a good price.

But how to avoid those water grass and pick the lotus pods?

The way Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng exchanged looks completely infuriated Xia Guagua, she walked up to Mu Shuangshuang.

"Who let you come to our house, you go away!"

"..."

"Xia Guagua, what are you up to again?"

Lu Yuanfeng thought he had already made himself clear enough.

"Yuan Feng brother, I came to bring you a melon, see, it was just cut."

Xia Guagua put the melon in her hand in front of Lu Yuanfeng, but he simply turned his head away disdainfully.

Xia Guagua saw all of this and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Lu Yuanfeng, let’s go inside, I have words to say to you."

Mu Shuangshuang took the lead heading towards the house where Lu Yuanfeng was working.

Lu Yuanfeng quickly followed, but he didn’t expect Xia Guagua to follow as well.

If anyone in the village had the thickest skin, it would surely be Xia Guagua, Lu Yuanfeng had expressed countless times he didn’t like her, yet she just selectively ignored.

Entering the house, Xia Guagua first looked for Yuanbao, seeing Yuanbao playing alone in the room, she hurriedly approached with the melon.

"Yuanbao, sister brought you a melon, do you want to eat? It’s very sweet."

Yuanbao heard about the melon, quickly raised his little head, but seeing Xia Guagua, he hesitated, so he could only look at the melon eagerly, not daring to speak.

Xia Guagua knowing Yuanbao wants to eat, but with Lu Yuanfeng present, she thought, after all, Lu Yuanfeng and Yuanbao are brothers, winning Yuanbao’s favor, Lu Yuanfeng would finally take a good look at her.

Lu Yuanfeng wanted to explode again, but was held by Mu Shuangshuang’s hand.

Mu Shuangshuang walked to Yuanbao, grabbed the lotus seeds from the bowl beside Yuanbao, and said to Yuanbao.

"Does Yuanbao know if sister grabbed an odd or even number? If you guess right, sister will make you something tasty later."

"Even, Sister Shuangshuang open it quickly, I want to see, I want to see."

Yuanbao’s attention was instantly attracted, leaving Xia Guagua holding the melon awkwardly.

She lowered her head momentarily, not knowing what to do.

Finally, Xia Guagua gave Mu Shuangshuang a malicious look and left Lu Yuanfeng’s room.

"Shuangshuang, you’re amazing, no matter how I try to chase her away, she won’t leave."

Lu Yuanfeng felt a bit embarrassed, he wondered whether being like this made Shuangshuang think he was useless.

"Because Xia Guagua fundamentally doesn’t want to leave, chasing her away is useless."

Moreover, by Shuangshuang’s guess, this Xia Guagua is currently just refusing to leave, but later might do more disgusting things.

Mu Shuangshuang guessed right, arriving home, Xia Guagua furiously threw away the melon in her hand, treating the broom at her feet like trash, throwing it here and there.

Gu Jiulian, who happened to be holding her son and came out to play, saw the melon on the ground and the scattered broom branches, angered, she cursed loudly.

"You damn worthless thing, have you gone mad? Are melons bought for free?"

"Not your concern!" Xia Guagua replied rudely, resulting in Gu Jiulian giving her a hard slap.

With a "slap", a fresh red five-finger mark appeared on Xia Guagua’s face.

"You hit me..." Xia Guagua looked at Gu Jiulian in disbelief.

"Why can’t I hit you? I gave birth to you, raised you, can’t I hit you? You useless thing, don’t say you’re my daughter, acting up here for a man."

Her daughter liking that little brat, how could Gu Jiulian not know, but her daughter is too weak, chased out time and again.

"What can I do, he doesn’t like me, Yuan Feng brother doesn’t like me..." Xia Guagua suddenly felt sad, why after doing so much, he still wouldn’t spare her a glance, even just one.

"Saying you’re stupid still doesn’t work, who said you need to like someone to marry? Look at me and your dad, is there any affection?

There are countless ways to get married, if not, you strip naked, stand in front of him, see if he might be moved."

In Gu Jiulian’s heart, there is no man she can’t capture, as long as you’re willing to spend the cost, then this man will eventually be yours someday.

Gu Jiulian’s methods might be vile, but in Xia Guagua’s view, they were the most useful.

Right, can’t wait anymore, if in the end, Yuan Feng brother ends up with that bitch, she would have nothing.

Thinking like this, Xia Guagua already had a plan in her heart.

"Oh, mother, I heard Yuanbao and that brat from the Zhang family say, Yuan Feng brother’s wild boar sold for quite a lot of money, you and Uncle Lu..."

Letting her mom take the money is better than letting Mu Shuangshuang, that wild girl, have it!
