CHAPTER 311: CHAPTER 309: FOUND A SOLUTION (SIXTH UPDATE)

"Uncle, I know, the first reason you don’t want to get married is because you’re afraid you can’t forget Luo Xiu’er and would let her down."

"Secondly, you’re afraid that someone might run away like Luo Xiu’er before marriage and put you through that pain again. But I want to say, people are different."

"There are still people who are willing to eat humble food for you and be with you through thick and thin. Think carefully, is there someone who has always silently supported you, so that whenever you turn around, you can see her?"

Mu Shuangshuang slowly guided Yu Liulang to think positively.

She believed that everyone should have someone willing to give everything for them.

It’s just that person often appears very late.

Yu Liulang has been in Yu Family Village for so long, and his abilities and morals are good in all aspects. If there really is such a person, his uncle would have hit the jackpot.

Listening to Mu Shuangshuang’s words, a slender figure suddenly appeared in Yu Liulang’s mind.

That girl, no matter rain or shine, would come to his house to make him breakfast and wash his clothes.

Whenever his clothes tore, he would find them patched up, and that person was Feng Quezi’s daughter from the village, Feng Xiaohua.

The Feng family doesn’t have any man to make decisions. Whenever the Feng family needed labor, Yu Liulang would go help.

All these years, he always thought Feng Xiaohua did so many things just to repay his kindness. But now, thinking about it, that’s not quite right either.

Feng Xiaohua turned down one marriage proposal after another, and now in the blink of an eye, she is a twenty-year-old spinster.

Yu Liulang once asked Feng Xiaohua why she didn’t marry. She said she was waiting for her beloved to marry her...

The more he thought, the more Yu Liulang felt that something was off. All the moments he spent with Feng Xiaohua poured into his mind all at once.

He was confused, bewildered, and even a little bit fortunate.

"What’s up, uncle, did you remember something?"

Mu Shuangshuang was very excited. Yu Liulang’s changing expressions as he recalled memories made her feel that maybe there indeed was someone who had been waiting for her uncle.

And her uncle must also care, or else what would that expression of relief mean?

But Yu Liulang’s answer made Mu Shuangshuang feel as if she had been doused with cold water from head to toe.

"No, I... I can’t hurt Xiao Hua, Shuangshuang, let’s stop today’s matter here, we won’t talk about it anymore."

Yu Liulang stood up and quickly went into Mu Dashan’s room.

Mu Shuangshuang’s mouth subtly curved up, she muttered to herself, "Xiao Hua, huh? Then Uncle will have to wait and see Shuangshuang’s capability!"

Mu Shuangshuang returned to the kitchen just in time to see Yu Si Niang putting the lid on. She came over upon seeing Mu Shuangshuang.

"How did it go, did your uncle agree?"

"No, my uncle is still very resistant!"

"Is that so? I thought your uncle would... would let go of it." Yu Si Niang looked disappointed.

"But I found out something quite important instead: there seems to be someone named Xiao Hua who is particularly good to my uncle, and in my uncle’s heart, she should carry some weight."

Mu Shuangshuang shared what she knew with Yu Si Niang, and she unexpectedly reacted with excitement.

"Feng Xiaohua, ah! Last time I went back, she even gave me a stick of fried dough. She’s so courteous, and the way she looks at Liulang... No wonder, she likes our Liulang!"

"Yes, that’s very likely the case. But my uncle directly refused. I feel this situation isn’t easy to handle either."

Yu Liulang’s situation is unique. He already has someone in his heart. Forcing him to accept Feng Xiaohua wouldn’t be fair, not just to him but also to Feng Xiaohua.

"Mom, how much do you know about this Feng Xiaohua?"

"How would I know, we’re not from the same generation. Feng Xiaohua is six years younger than your uncle, only twenty this year. But she truly likes your uncle and has waited until she’s a spinster, probably with no one proposing to her."

Yu Si Niang’s term "spinster" made Mu Shuangshuang feel awkward. That’s one downside of ancient times. Once past sixteen or seventeen without marrying, people assume something’s wrong with you.

If you pass twenty, the matchmakers will introduce you to those with missing limbs.

Sigh, what a fantastic age, twenty!

"Not knowing isn’t good either. This matter isn’t just about my uncle; it also involves Feng Xiaohua. We have to interact with her too."

Mutual affection is needed for Luo Xiu’er to completely disappear from Yu Liulang’s mind.

"Then, Mom will take you to see for yourself today?" Yu Si Niang suggested.

"Great, but you can’t intervene yet, Mom. This is a situation where the eight characters haven’t even begun. We can’t ruin the girl’s reputation."

An elder brother is like a father, an elder sister is like a mother. Although Yu Si Niang isn’t the elder sister, the whole Yu Family Village knows Yu Liulang was raised by her. If she approaches Feng Xiaohua, everyone would soon find out.

If it doesn’t work out, Feng Xiaohua’s situation would just become more difficult.

"Then what should we do, you’ve never been to Yu Family Village. What if you get lost?" Yu Si Niang worriedly paced back and forth.

"Mom, don’t be anxious. Just tell me where Yu Family Village is, and once I get there, I’ll ask around.

Plus, over the years, it’s always been Grandpa and Grandma who came over, and I have never gone, it’s the perfect opportunity now."

Mu Shuangshuang felt relieved, having bought things for her grandparents and uncle in town. These should be useful soon enough.

"Shuangshuang, are you going to Yu Family Village alone?"

"Yes, the younger siblings are still small. They aren’t suitable for long trips, and I’m also a bit tired lately. Hugging them halfway would be a challenge."

Last night, she didn’t rest at all. Her mind kept pondering Lu Yuanfeng’s words, and she got up early today. If not for these bits and pieces, she would have just wanted to sleep.

"How about having Fengzi accompany you? Our Yu Family Village has quite a few good things, and there are several fruit trees in your grandmother’s backyard. You can pick some and bring them back for the younger siblings to eat."

"Ah?" Mu Shuangshuang jumped in surprise, quickly shaking her head, "Mom, let’s forget it. Fengzi has his own things to do. If I bother him every day, he won’t have time to hunt. Besides, he mentioned wanting to buy land these days, I can’t delay him!"

"Okay then!" Yu Si Niang looked disappointed, though she worried about her daughter going alone, what the daughter said made sense.

Fengzi has his own things, unsure how much there is, and to keep asking him to do this and that seems excessive.

"Mom, don’t worry, isn’t it just a trip to Grandma’s? It’s not like it’s anything big, I’ll be back by nightfall, don’t worry about it!"

"Alright, alright, you said it, Mom will listen, but going to your grandmother’s means crossing a mountain. It’s not hard to walk, but there are many woods alongside, easy for people to hide in them. You should take a stick with you for protection!"

"Yes!" Mu Shuangshuang nodded, returned to her room, and took a stick from the door gap.

(After staying up one night and a morning, I’ve made up for the two Chapters owed previously, even added one more. Will continue past midnight tonight!)
