Chapter 126: Chapter 127: Love Rival Xia Guagua (Third Update)
On the way back, Lu Yuanfeng carried everything single-handedly, including the now highly valued and smug Little Black.
Halfway down the road, both Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng were sweating heavily from the heat, so they suggested taking a break.
Lu Yuanfeng leaned against a big tree, watching the girl in front of him fanning herself with her hand, looking quite hot.
He got up and wandered around the woods, eventually finding a few larger leaves, and fanned Shuangshuang with them to relieve the heat.
The breeze from the leaves blew on Mu Shuangshuang’s face, instantly dispersing quite a bit of the summer heat.
"Lu Yuanfeng, who would have thought you were good at taking care of girls... Very nice, very nice!"
Actually, Lu Yuanfeng’s behavior would be considered some kind of hint to most girls.
But in Shuangshuang’s eyes, it was completely normal because others had taken care of her like that before.
There’s no helping it; with more boys than girls at police school, she’s treated like a panda baby, with food served to her and clothes handed over, barely having to do anything herself.
"Alright, I’m not hot anymore, you fan yourself now!" Mu Shuangshuang waved her hand and said.
"It’s fine." Lu Yuanfeng shook his head, feeling delighted to fan Shuangshuang.
"By the way, why didn’t you ask me what I wrote at the tea stall in town just now?"
Lu Yuanfeng seemed curious about everything, but he hadn’t asked about that matter earlier.
"Oh, I forgot." Lu Yuanfeng scratched his head in embarrassment, perhaps because he was only concerned with checking whether Shuangshuang was hot during the journey, he had forgotten what he intended to ask.
"Silly, what should I say to you?" Mu Shuangshuang said with a helpless look, "I just wrote a few words at the stall: Honest Tea Stall, Self-service Tea, One Coin per Bowl!"
It’s quite similar to modern honest sales; anyway, the owner wasn’t there, but the price of each item was listed, and if you liked something, you took it yourself and paid voluntarily without any supervision.
Anyway, Granny Xue wasn’t short of money, she was doing it just for fun.
Mu Shuangshuang’s unintended act had an unexpected result.
She didn’t know that once she left, people passing by actually went inside to drink tea.
Out of curiosity, they observed for a long time and discovered that the owner truly did not show up, and each of them paid Silver voluntarily and washed the bowls they used before leaving.
As a result, it naturally attracted a lot of attention, and the two barrels of cold tea at the tea stall quickly sold out, with a lot of Copper Coins thrown into the small wooden barrel beside them.
In the evening, when the Xue Family sent someone to collect the wooden barrel, they discovered this and informed the old lady.
Granny Xue then felt she had truly encountered a blessing.
Upon further inquiry, no one knew the two young kids, as if they had appeared out of thin air.
Granny Xue just thought her old man had shown her mercy, so she had someone put a few barrels of cold tea at the tea stall every day.

"Didn’t Shuangshuang say she couldn’t read?" Lu Yuanfeng grew even more puzzled.
"Ahem... Lu Yuanfeng, I need to share a secret with you next, can you please keep it confidential for me?"
Shuangshuang’s expression was full of seriousness; though she was someone with a changed soul, it only took some investigation to realize she had many changes.
But being a farm girl, as long as she didn’t threaten any big man, she wouldn’t have such a sudden problem.
The current issue is that people around her would eventually notice her differences, and continuous explanations weren’t a solution.
"Shuangshuang, just tell me, I won’t tell anyone else, if you’re worried, you can..." Lu Yuanfeng seemed eager to listen; having a secret meant he could understand Shuangshuang better.
"Actually, ever since I bumped my head because of my second aunt before, some memories have appeared in my mind. These memories don’t belong to me but appear whenever I do something.
Like last time with the wild boar hunt, or like what we made today with the meat bun, and even writing the words."
The half-true words made Lu Yuanfeng’s face instantly turn serious, but then he thought it might be a gift from heaven.
If Shuangshuang hadn’t known these things, she would always have been bullied by the Old Mu Family.
"Shuangshuang, I think it’s a gift from the Bodhisattva to you; you are so kind, so good, you deserve this blessing."
Lu Yuanfeng spoke seriously, if Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t been lying, she would have surely believed his words.
"Yes, you’re right, I get it, and from now on, I’ll be grateful!" Mu Shuangshuang nodded vigorously.
Alas, another lie told, feeling like her time in this ancient era is turning her into a charlatan.
When will she be able to use her strength to slap the strange Old Mu Family in the face?
Returning to the village, it was still early, and thinking about having to deliver cold noodles to town tomorrow, Mu Shuangshuang went with Lu Yuanfeng to his house.
From now on, she didn’t need to sneak around to make cold noodles, since she had a contract in hand.
Upon arriving at Lu Yuanfeng’s house, she noticed that the front and back of the house seemed to have undergone significant changes compared to yesterday.
The grass in front of the house was gone, and the baskets and sieves randomly thrown in the yard were nowhere to be seen, while a row of clothes were hung on long bamboo poles outside, all of them men’s clothes.
Even underpants were placed in the most conspicuous spot on the pole, and Mu Shuangshuang inadvertently glanced at them, just in time to see a patch on them.
The meticulous stitching wasn’t something a man could do.
"Lu Yuanfeng, who would’ve thought you’d be such a good lad, washing clothes so cleanly, even having someone patch your underpants!" Mu Shuangshuang spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
The rascal, even his underpants were patched, why doesn’t she get such treatment?
Lu Yuanfeng’s face turned red, not out of embarrassment, but anger.
When he left, the clothes weren’t washed.
"Shuangshuang, it’s not like that, let me explain..." Just as Lu Yuanfeng wanted to explain, a girl in a yellow dress stepped out of the house where he lived.
The girl immediately came up to Lu Yuanfeng upon seeing him.
"Brother Yuan Feng, I’ve helped you wash your clothes, and also tidied up your room. I wanted to bathe Yuanbao, but he wouldn’t let me, so I didn’t."
Xia Guagua looked up with a face full of anticipation at Lu Yuanfeng.
Ever since Lu Yuanfeng had left early in the morning, she had come to help, washing clothes, tidying the room, and even patching Lu Yuanfeng’s clothes.
"Who asked you to do this, this isn’t your home, go back." Lu Yuanfeng unceremoniously pointed to a house dozens of meters away.
"Brother Yuan Feng, why can’t I come here? We’re family!" Xia Guagua looked at Lu Yuanfeng, her eyes gradually filling with tears.
"Do you even know, my hands got bruised from the wooden club when I washed your clothes, and nearly fell when I tidied your room.
You shouldn’t have scolded me even if you didn’t praise me... boo hoo hoo..." Xia Guagua wept, looking pitiful indeed.
Mu Shuangshuang glanced at her fingers, those slender hands were indeed covered in blood marks as Xia Guagua said!
