CHAPTER 290: CHAPTERS 289-290: "THE MAN IN ’HER’ HEART (FIRST UPDATE)

This brainwashing mode of Yu Si Niang was activated in the afternoon.

The thirty or so chicks at home made her completely approve of Lu Yuanfeng.

If a man is willing to do so much for a woman, and you still don’t hold onto him, then something’s wrong with your head.

Yu Si Niang felt that too many people in the village had their eyes on Lu Yuanfeng. Just this afternoon, someone asked her if her daughter had anything going on with Lu Yuanfeng. If not, they would send their own daughter over.

Yu Si Niang increasingly believed that Lu Yuanfeng was becoming a hot commodity.

"Mom, I get what you’re saying, don’t worry. Even if I don’t turn Fengzi into your son-in-law, I’ll at least make her your son."

This was considered a private conversation between mother and daughter, so Mu Shuangshuang spoke with a relaxed expression.

In her heart, she felt that Lu Yuanfeng gave her a different feeling from others, but whether that was liking, she wasn’t sure herself.

And as for what Lu Yuanfeng meant, she couldn’t quite figure it out. When Aunt Ge said today that she was Lu Yuanfeng’s wife, he denied it particularly quickly, not seeming like he had that kind of intention.

Just thinking about it gave Mu Shuangshuang a headache. In the modern world, although she was amidst men, she never dated or tried to like someone...

"Look at what you’re saying, child. Let’s hurry up, or Fengzi will be hungry."

Yu Si Niang rummaged through a pile of corn for a long time, found two of the largest ears, along with the half bowl of dried cucumber peels she had set aside in the evening. Crisp and refreshing cucumber peels that she thought Fengzi should try.

After some preparation, by the time they were heading out, Yu Si Niang’s bamboo basket was packed full of things.

Mu Shuangshuang held her hand, carrying a wooden stick, as they headed to Lu Yuanfeng’s home.

In modern times, Mu Shuangshuang disagreed with this saying, but in ancient times, she found it made sense.

Population represents labor force; the more labor, the more work gets done, and the more income is received.

By the time they got to Lu Yuanfeng’s house, those strange noises finally subsided.

As they got closer, they could still hear the sound of Lu Yuanfeng shavings wood, and Yuanbao’s constant cries of hunger.

Lu Yuanfeng was planing wood in the utility room, ignoring the commotion from Yuanbao next to him. However, he soon noticed something different in the utility room.

First, the oil lamp was covered, then someone walked up. When he looked up, he saw Mu Shuangshuang smiling broadly at him.

The planer in his hand was immediately put down, and Lu Yuanfeng excitedly stepped forward to greet her.

"Shuangshuang, why are you here? It’s so late."

Yu Si Niang was completely ignored, but she didn’t feel anything was wrong. Young people, if they truly like each other, their eyes can’t contain anyone else.

Seeing Fengzi act this way, she was more certain that he liked her daughter.

"My mom said you worked hard tonight and brought me over to make you a late-night snack."

Only then did Lu Yuanfeng notice Yu Si Niang beside Mu Shuangshuang.

"Aunt Si, sorry, I... I didn’t see you just now."

"Fengzi, Aunt Si will go make something delicious for you, see if there’s anything Shuangshuang can help with."

Seeing this, Yuanbao followed behind Yu Si Niang. "Second Brother, I’m hungry. I’ll go watch Aunt Si first, and when the tasty food is ready, I’ll be the first to eat."

In an instant, only Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng were left in the utility room.

Mu Shuangshuang carefully examined the utility room. It was particularly clean, with tools arranged neatly.

Lu Yuanfeng’s family had no land, so they didn’t have any farming tools, but they did have quite a few bows and arrows and such.

Two large bows were hung on the north wall, and a box full of arrows lay in the quiver box.

These were all Lu Yuanfeng’s survival tools. Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but take a few extra glances, and when she finished, she realized Lu Yuanfeng was watching her.

He seemed to have been looking for a long time, his gaze full of focus, even though Mu Shuangshuang had already turned away, he didn’t notice.

Mu Shuangshuang blushed from being watched, thinking there was something on her back, but after several touches, she found nothing.

"Fengzi, you were staring at my back earlier, is there something there? I couldn’t feel anything."

Lu Yuanfeng paused, realizing he’d been distracted watching Shuangshuang’s back.

He quickly averted his gaze, looking at Mu Shuangshuang still touching her back, bit his lip, and suddenly said, "You have cobwebs on your back, I... I saw them."

Though curious about when she might have touched cobwebs, Mu Shuangshuang still turned her back to Lu Yuanfeng.

"Help me get rid of them, or a spider might crawl up later."
