From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 784 - 780 One Family, Two Styles (Part 1)

Mu Shuangshuang increasingly felt that Lu Yuanfeng was quite shameless, becoming more brazen in his actions.

Even though he knew there were many villagers watching the wild boar in the yard, he still dared to kiss her openly.

At this moment, Mu Shuangshuang was quite distracted, and Lu Yuanfeng, holding her, seemed somewhat dissatisfied. Not satisfied with just kissing, he started nibbling directly.

Mu Shuangshuang: "..."

After the kiss ended, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng were both breathless, especially Lu Yuanfeng, whose eyes seemed to contain a fiery flame that was so intense, it could be felt just by gazing into them.

Mu Shuangshuang was startled; she wasn’t a child and understood what Lu Yuanfeng’s gaze meant.

After all, he was full of youthful vigor, and Mu Shuangshuang wouldn’t believe he didn’t have any thoughts whatsoever.

But now, Mu Shuangshuang felt troubled.

This body is only fourteen years old, no matter how open-minded she was, she couldn’t do such things.

Mu Shuangshuang blushed and reminded Lu Yuanfeng, "Fengzi, some things we have to let happen naturally, also... also, you..."

The remaining words, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t bring herself to say.

Lu Yuanfeng’s hand naturally grasped her shoulder, saying softly, "Shuangshuang, I’ll go out first!"

Lu Yuanfeng suppressed the emotions churning in his heart, took a deep breath, put on a smile, and went out to help Yu Si Niang greet the villagers.

Mu Shuangshuang picked up the spatula again and suddenly felt her lips hurting. After touching them, she realized the skin was broken.

She softly hissed in pain and couldn’t help but complain internally, "This silly boy never knows his strength; next time I definitely won’t let him touch me.

Even if it’s pigskin, it can’t withstand his careless nibbling; it hurts so much..."

In the courtyard of the third branch, the appearance of Lu Yuanfeng made everyone start teasing him.

Someone said, "Fengzi, you’re always seen with Da Shan’s eldest daughter; maybe you two are thinking about getting married. When will you invite us for some celebratory wine?"

Lu Yuanfeng replied politely, "Shuangshuang and I plan to be engaged first, so the village knows we’re destined to be married.

As for the wedding date, it hasn’t been set yet, but once I achieve success in my career, I’ll bring the betrothal gifts to marry Shuangshuang."

Lu Yuanfeng spoke openly, and everyone felt comfortable hearing this.

It is rare to find a young man so willing to take responsibility; truly, they were getting old.

"But this Shuang girl is getting prettier and prettier; Fengzi, you’ve got a great deal!" someone else said.

"Yes, who would’ve thought, the village’s ugliest brat has now become one of Er Gui Village’s top beauties, even more beautiful than Old Mu Family’s eldest daughter, raised as a rich lady."

Chatting and laughing, Yu Si Niang stuffed fruits and snacks into the villagers’ hands.

Even the wild boar was offered at a discount to the villagers, ten coins per pound, with a bowl of pig’s blood gifted to each household.

Once these words were spoken, the villagers were even happier, loudly blessing the engagement of Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang.

Of course, there were also people sighing and expressing mixed feelings.

"Everyone, tell me, they’re from the same family, but what happened with Mu Xiangxiang’s engagement banquet? The groom didn’t show up, and Old Mu Family’s explanation was lacking. I heard even Granny Chen, the cook, was punished by Old Mrs. Mu."

The villagers loved gossip; any past incident, if not overshadowed by another, would become the topic of their mealtime conversations.

"Isn’t that right? Granny Chen vowed not to cater to Old Mu Family’s red and white events, not only that, she rallied those nearby who do this kind of work to boycott Old Mu’s family events."

"I heard Mu Dalang is getting married soon. Without cooks, let’s see what cold dishes and leftovers Old Mu’s family will serve us."

As they talked, the stories became more exaggerated, yet their smiles didn’t diminish.

...

...

Far away in Liu Family Village, Liu Zian wasn’t feeling well either. Three days before the engagement banquet, Mu Shuangshuang sent a message to Liu Family Village, informing Liu Zian of the events over this period.

Mu Shuangshuang had found another scholar to teach, this time a certified one, assuring him not to worry.

As for his classmate Chen Sheng, Mu Shuangshuang would no longer invite him to teach, hoping Liu Zian would truthfully inform Chen Sheng if asked about it.

Regarding the engagement banquet, Mu Shuangshuang indicated that if Liu Zian came, she would make delicious food for him, and if he didn’t, she would still appreciate his blessings from afar.

On the night of hearing the message, Liu Zian fell ill.

Not just a minor illness, but one that left him bedridden, coughing non-stop, his face a sickly yellow.

Liu Zian’s mother, Song Family, consulted a village doctor and sent someone to Mu Xianxian’s house in town, requesting a town doctor, yet Liu Zian’s condition didn’t improve.

However, the doctor told Song Family that Liu Zian had a heartache, and only a remedy for the heart could cure it.

Song Family immediately thought her son was missing a little enchantress from Er Gui Village again.

Nowadays, the Liu Family’s days were better; Liu Zian had become a scholar, and the neighbors had gifted many items. Additionally, their familial ties with Mu Xianxian’s future in-laws, the Cao Family, had brought even more gifts from Old Cao’s house.

Overall, Song Family was now singing songs of liberation, living well, and feeling as though floating.

Early this morning, after lying for several days, Liu Zian got out of bed.

Mu Shuangshuang’s engagement, he had to go see, even if it would hurt him, he had to go.

Song Family prepared Liu Zian’s morning medicine and upon entering saw him dressing, initially believing he planned to take a walk outside after being bedridden.

Unexpectedly, drawing closer, Liu Zian said, "Mother, I have to go to Er Gui Village and might not be back tonight."

Although Liu Family Village wasn’t far from Er Gui Village, traveling back and forth would take some time.

Liu Zian intended to ask Shuangshuang some questions today.

"You can’t go, being this ill, going out? Do you want to die?" Song Family forcefully grabbed Liu Zian’s clothes, confronting him.

"Mother, please don’t interfere with this, I know my own body." Liu Zian said and firmly broke away from her grasp.

Song Family’s complexion changed.

Before, her son didn’t follow her words slavishly, but neither would he brush off her hand like that.

But now, everything seemed different.

"Liu Zian, I don’t care what business you have to see that little vixen today, bottom line, I disagree with you leaving!"

Song Family was strong-willed and disliked Liu Zian opposing her.

Her dominance became increasingly evident since Liu Zian passed the scholar exam.

She denounced Mu Shuangshuang as a little vixen, belittling her, but pressing Liu Zian like this naturally led to some backlash.
