Chapter 1500 - 1495: Scalded Mouth, Smashed Bowl
"Pfft—"
Yu Si Niang finally laughed!
"Did Yuanbao really say that?" Yu Si Niang asked.
"That’s right. That kid, in the village, is still the king among children. Quite a few kids call Little Zhi ’big sister-in-law’ respectfully when they see her!"
Mu Dashan shared what he knew.
Yu Si Niang laughed even brighter, she could imagine the scene, a few kids seriously calling Little Zhi "sister-in-law!"
"But if Yuanbao really marries our Little Zhi in the future, I won’t feel like I’ve lost anything!
Since Yuanbao likes our family, when he marries Little Zhi, he’ll still be with us, and I can help my daughter with her kids!"
Yu Si Niang was naturally filled with joy.
Because she thought clearly, if her daughter marries someone else, even if close, it’s not her own family.
It’s inconvenient to visit, and in the future, she’ll have to serve the in-laws.
If they’re good, it’s fine, but if they’re like the Old Mu Family, it’s better not to have them!
"True, we’ve watched Yuanbao grow up since he was young, we know him well. If he and Little Zhi both like each other in the future, we shouldn’t stop them!"
The couple calculated that uncertain matter in their hearts.
Their mood brightened.
While chatting, they burst into laughter.
Yet, someone mentioned, "How are we going to deal with the matter of the second and younger sisters, right now they’re both fighting over one man!"
Speaking of this, the two felt somewhat helpless.
It’s a good thing the old man went to the county, otherwise, such a face-loving person, knowing his two daughters fought fiercely over a man at the village entrance, might explode with anger.
A while ago, the Sun Family wanted to marry Mu Zhenzhen.
Due to a lack of good days, it was postponed again and again.
Finally, it was decided on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, which Matchmaker Sun calculated as the most auspicious day, promising wealth and prosperity.
But because of the postponement, Mu Xiangxiang’s illness improved significantly, and she could stand up.
The first thing she did was to cause trouble for Mu Zhenzhen.
She happened to meet Mu Zhenzhen at the village entrance, who was going to pull cotton stalks for the Sun family, and without a word, gave her a slap.
Mu Zhenzhen wasn’t one to be trifled with, and after being slapped, immediately retaliated.
The two sisters fought fiercely at the village entrance, ending up with bloodied heads and clumps of hair pulled out, if Mu Dashan hadn’t brought the village chief to intervene, it would have been a disaster!
However, this fight brought the affairs of the Old Mu Family into the open.
"Let’s not concern ourselves with it, Dad and Mom aren’t here, Shuangshuang isn’t here either. If things really escalate, we won’t gain anything!" Mu Dashan said.
His words surprised Yu Si Niang a bit!
"You really don’t care? Those are your two own sisters!" Yu Si Niang said.
"I don’t care, don’t worry. Right now, I have no interest in the Old Mu Family matters!
If Zhenzhen really wants to fight with Xiangxiang, I can’t control them! Instead, let’s peacefully enjoy our own small life, comfortable and free!"
Recently, without Old Mu Family members around, Mu Dashan’s perspective and approach to problems have changed.
He’s trying not to be too eager to help, at least no longer doing things with enthusiasm only to be met with cold responses!
Yu Si Niang, being Mu Dashan’s wife, was naturally happy when Mu Dashan said he wouldn’t deal with the Old Mu family’s matters.
The couple looked at each other, feeling that happiness was this simple.
Working together during the day, even if not at the same place.
At night when it’s dark, eating a warm meal together, sleeping under the same quilt, that’s enough!
There’s nothing more blissful than this!
"Si Niang, do you think we should have another baby?" Mu Dashan suddenly said.
"Ah—" Yu Si Niang looked stunned.
"Both kids are grown now, and we haven’t had a baby for several years, the family conditions have improved, so why not..."
Yu Si Niang’s face reddened intensely.
She turned her head, not daring to look at Mu Dashan.
But Mu Dashan still reached out to her, gradually starting to remove her clothes...
Face to face, both were blushing hard, but after all, they’ve been together for a long time.
They were well-practiced in such matters, and soon enough, muted sounds of pleasure filled the room, causing the moon to shyly tuck into the clouds...
———
The next day, Mu Dashan got up feeling refreshed, while Yu Si Niang was still sleeping. She had been tormented too much the previous night and only fell asleep at dawn.
Mu Dashan didn’t dare to wake his wife, quietly went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and after finishing it, went to the adjacent room to wake up the three kids.
After Mu Shuangshuang left, her room became the sleeping place for Yuanbao, Little Zhi, and Xiao Han.
Little Zhi’s place was separated by a screen, without her permission, neither Xiao Han nor Yuanbao could pass!
This was what Mu Shuangshuang taught her: the sleeping area should not be entered by any boys.
Also, places covered by clothes shouldn’t be touched by any man or boy.
If such a situation arises, you must firmly refuse!
Mu Dashan woke the three kids, but still couldn’t bring himself to wake Yu Si Niang.
He had just come out of the house when he saw Mu Xiangxiang.
Mu Xiangxiang looked genuinely disheveled.
Her hair was messy, wearing dirty clothes, and her face was dirty too.
Someone who didn’t know better might think she was a beggar from somewhere.
"Third brother, save me! I can’t live like this anymore!" Mu Xiangxiang rushed and cried to Mu Dashan.
Initially, Mu Dashan wanted Mu Xiangxiang to leave, but seeing her in such a pitiful state, he couldn’t say it.
He didn’t want to meddle, but said, "Are you hungry? I made porridge!"
"Hungry!" Mu Xiangxiang nodded heavily.
She followed Mu Dashan into the kitchen, where Mu Dashan served her a bowl full of meat porridge.
Though just made, the meat porridge was still very hot, yet Mu Xiangxiang was extremely hungry, and started drinking it, screaming from the heat.
She raised the bowl and smashed it on the ground, spilling porridge everywhere, changing Mu Dashan’s expression!
"What are you doing? So good..." Mu Xiangxiang shouted.
"If it’s too hot, you smash the bowl? If bad, are you going to kill someone?" Mu Dashan asked.
Right then, his expression was undoubtedly terrifying.
Mu Xiangxiang looked at her usually honest and straightforward third brother, feeling scared for the first time.
"I... I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have smashed the bowl!
But it must be that Yu Si Niang woman who harmed me, deliberately made such hot porridge for me to drink, so I’d get burned, third brother, it’s not my fault—"
Mu Xiangxiang feigned pity, but her words happened to touch Mu Dashan’s sore spot.
"Nonsense! The porridge wasn’t made by Si Niang, I made it! If it’s too hot, don’t come to drink!" Mu Dashan said.
"What? You made it? Third brother, are you crazy? A grown man cooking! And for that woman?"
Mu Xiangxiang cursed Mu Dashan.
Called him stupid, called him foolish!
