CHAPTER 463: CHAPTER 458: HELPING FENGZI FIND HER MOTHER (11TH UPDATE)
"Fengzi, I... I don’t know, don’t force me!"
Old Lady Lu shook her head in pain, looking like she didn’t want to bring it up.
On the side, Lu Yuanfeng’s fourth uncle also said, "Fengzi, your grandma is so old, and yet you’re forcing her. Do you want her to die?
Or is it that fool from the Old Mu Family forcing you to ask? What kind of mind-altering soup did she give you that you’d neglect your own family?"
"You’re the fool. Have you ever seen such a smart and eloquent fool?"
Mu Shuangshuang was not pleased, she wasn’t foolish; she spoke normally, looked normal, and had a good head on her shoulders.
That bastard, always thinking the Old Mu Family had some oddballs, turns out, the Lu Yuanfeng family has quite a few too.
Lu Yuanfeng’s fourth uncle didn’t expect Mu Shuangshuang to dare to confront him, and for a moment couldn’t find anything to refute against her, he just glared at Mu Shuangshuang.
Glare all you want, it’s not like she’ll lose a piece of flesh!
Mu Shuangshuang’s smile grew even brighter; with enemies, you must never show weakness, that’s her principle.
"Fengzi, go report to the officials, after all, it’s a living person, and we can find Xing Beichen to help, let the government investigate, even if it means turning over this mountain, we can find some useful evidence."
"By then, if we find any evidence or anyone did something they shouldn’t have, we’ll let them rot in jail!"
Mu Shuangshuang looked directly at Lu Yuanfeng’s fourth uncle.
She clearly felt Lu Yuanfeng’s fourth uncle’s body shiver, as if he was afraid of something.
The answer was getting closer.
"Get out, get out!" Suddenly, Old Sir Lu stood up, dragging Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang outside.
Seeing that Old Sir Lu was an elder, Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang stepped back and didn’t squeeze inside anymore.
During this trip, Mu Shuangshuang focused on Lu Family’s fourth uncle, Old Sir Lu, and Old Lady Lu, as these three surely knew the details of the matter.
"Fengzi, what do you plan to do about this?"
After all, it was Lu Yuanfeng’s family affair, Mu Shuangshuang was not in a position to overstep.
"My mom must still be alive, but why is my family lying?" Lu Yuanfeng was puzzled.
"I think they might be protecting someone. Just think, your mom is the wife of the Old Lu Family. Ordinarily, they should have reported her disappearance."
"But your family didn’t. There must have been something they didn’t want others to know. From my point of view, if we want to know the truth, we either play dirty or ask the knowledgeable ones!"
"The knowledgeable ones?"
"Exactly! There’s no wall that doesn’t let air through. Tell me, what happened in your family for the past few years, I’ve analyzed it, two people might know the truth!"
Lu Yuanfeng stared intently at Mu Shuangshuang; at this moment, his chest felt like it was being clawed by a cat, eager to know the truth.
"The village chief and Matchmaker Sun, your mother’s disappearance, the village chief definitely knows some inside story.
As for Matchmaker Sun, regarding your fourth uncle’s marriage, she definitely knows, we need to ask how much betrothal gift was prepared for your fourth aunt!"
The two divided their tasks, Mu Shuangshuang went to find Matchmaker Sun, Lu Yuanfeng went to find the village chief.
Matchmaker Sun was not easy to find; after all, matchmakers live a transient life, today at this house, tomorrow at another, fortunately, Matchmaker Sun’s family usually knows where she goes.
Today she went to the nearby Xiajia Village, where Xia Guagua used to live.
Knowing Matchmaker Sun would return by evening, Mu Shuangshuang simply went to the village chief’s home to find Lu Yuanfeng.
After a round of questioning, the village chief only said that he did want to report it back then, but Old Sir Lu begged him desperately, and in the end, it was just dropped!
From the village chief, they didn’t learn much, but one thing was certain, the Old Lu Family had done quite a few things behind the scenes.
"Fengzi, let’s go back, have lunch first. We can’t rush finding people. Once we find Matchmaker Sun, and she tells us what happened, if it doesn’t work out, I still have a backup plan!"
Last time, Mu Shuangshuang used Mandala petals on Mu Dazhong, afterward, Mu Dazhong hugged Mu Danian and kissed him passionately, at that time Mu Dazhong didn’t know what he was doing.
Using this on Lu Yuanfeng’s fourth uncle would surely reveal some things.
Alternatively, a good beating could do it.
"Alright!" Lu Yuanfeng felt heavy-hearted but agreed that what Mu Shuangshuang said made sense.
Everything needs to be clarified, what truly happened, only by doing this can they find his mother in the shortest possible time.
Returning home, Mu Shuangshuang began to prepare lunch.
The Huang Brothers were chopping wood for her, so she couldn’t let them go hungry.
For lunch, she planned to make stir-fried wolf meat with chili, pickled cabbage tofu, a big stew, and bake a few corn pancakes.
The wolf meat she smoked in the mountains a few days ago could indeed be preserved for a long time, without worrying about it spoiling.
Lu Yuanfeng continued to assist Mu Shuangshuang, while she cooked, he managed the fire.
A meal took just two incense sticks of time.
Once done, the family gradually came back.
Every day, Yuanbao roamed around with Little Zhi; Xiao Han followed them, reading books nearby, the three children were inseparable, like true brothers.
Recently, Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t paid close attention, but the three children had grown sturdier.
Their skin color used to be sallow, and their cheeks lacked flesh.
Now, their faces had more meat, and their complexion was much rosier, Mu Shuangshuang felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
"Hurry and wash your hands, then go inside and call Dad, your Yuanfeng brother and I are going up the mountain to take a look."
Mu Shuangshuang said to Little Zhi, who came in last.
Little Zhi rushed forward, washed his hands, and ran to Mu Dashan’s room.
Leaving the third branch’s courtyard, Mu Shuangshuang asked, "Fengzi, how many trees do you think those Huang Brothers can chop? It’s been all morning!"
"Shouldn’t be too little. The Huang Brothers might be sly, but they also have some strength. Maybe the trees they’ve chopped are enough to make a wooden outhouse."
"Alright! Let’s hurry up and take a look!" Mu Shuangshuang urged.
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng went to the foot of Niuwei Mountain, but they didn’t see as many trees as they expected.
Not even a single tree branch, meaning the Huang Brothers hadn’t made a trip down the mountain yet.
Mu Shuangshuang suddenly felt that the two might have run away.
Hesitating whether to check up the mountain, two figures, one fat and one thin, appeared at the mountainside, carrying a thick tree trunk panting.
"They’re here, Fengzi!" Mu Shuangshuang pointed to the mountainside.
"Shuangshuang, I’ll go up to help, you wait at the foot of the mountain."
Lu Yuanfeng climbed the mountain, soon reaching the mountainside, and with someone helping, the wood was quickly brought down.
This was not the first tree, there were four remaining trees placed at the mountainside, after a few trips, they finally transported it all down.
