Chapter 1606 - 1601: The More I Look, the Happier I Am (First Update)

"Will Second Brother really not mind?"

Yuanbao widened his round black eyes, looking at Mu Shuangshuang, his gaze filled with anticipation for what she would say next.

"Of course! But, when we do things, we have to be discreet. It’s like if you carry your New Year’s money around now, everyone will see, and word might get to Gu Jiulian.

If she finds out, she’ll definitely try every way to take the money you give your grandma! Your grandma won’t want to part with it, and then conflicts and disagreements will arise, and your grandma will be the one who suffers!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"So what should we do?" Yuanbao was anxious, his round face showing clear signs of worry.

"It’s okay, we’ll do this secretly! After your grandma finishes eating, I’ll send her home, and then you can take out your New Year’s money!" Mu Shuangshuang winked at Yuanbao.

"Yeah, yeah!" Yuanbao nodded vigorously.

"Then I’ll put the money back in the room first!"

...

Mu Shuangshuang and Yuanbao appeared in the dining hall together, both smiling, looking as if nothing was amiss.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuanbao approached Old Lady Lu, sweetly saying, "Grandma, what would you like to eat, Yuanbao will get it for you!"

Old Lady Lu’s heart tightened, and her eyes immediately became red.

She shook her head, "No, no, you eat on your own, eat on your own..."

This meal was the happiest Old Lady Lu had eaten in a long time.

After finishing the meal, Yu Si Niang served Old Lady Lu a bowl of chicken soup and a bowl of rice.

Mu Shuangshuang helped her carry the food box, and Yuanbao went to his room to get his New Year’s money.

The three met in the courtyard, where Yuanbao called out to Old Lady Lu.

"Grandma, this is the money I’ve saved, you take it!" Yuanbao said.

"No, Grandma doesn’t want it..." Old Lady Lu pushed away the small box Yuanbao handed her.

"Grandma, please take it, Yuanbao is still attending school, Sister Shuangshuang buys food and snacks for me, I won’t neglect myself!" Yuanbao solemnly handed the money box to Old Lady Lu again.

Old Lady Lu still refused to take it.

Yuanbao had to seek help from Mu Shuangshuang.

"Madam, this money is Yuanbao’s respect for you, although it’s not much, it’s his kind gesture, please take it and don’t waste his good heart." Mu Shuangshuang said.

"But..." Old Lady Lu still hesitated.

"Rest assured, I’ll keep an eye on Yuanbao, he’s exactly like my own younger brother!" Mu Shuangshuang reassured Old Lady Lu.

Only then did Old Lady Lu accept the box of money Yuanbao handed her.

"Yuanbao, escort the old lady home, be cautious not to encounter Gu Jiulian! I’ll go find Grandpa Zhang!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Okay, Yuanbao will go now!"

Yuanbao supported Old Lady Lu and headed towards Old Lu Family’s direction.

Mu Shuangshuang turned back to the house, taking a set of purple clay teapots, which was specifically bought for Zhang Huai Shu.

It’s a festival today, early in the morning, she had Mu Dashan invite Zhang Huai Shu, intended to give these to him when he came.

But he wanted quality time with his wife from the Cui Family, so he didn’t come.

But now it’s perfect timing!

Mu Shuangshuang carried the tea set directly to Zhang Huai Shu’s home.

The advantage of having moved to a new house was that it was much closer to Old Lu Family and Zhang Huai Shu’s home.

Mu Shuangshuang took about the time of an incense stick arriving at Zhang Huai Shu’s house.

She called out twice towards Zhang Huai Shu’s house: "Grandpa Zhang, it’s Shuangshuang~"

Before long, Cui Family’s wife came to open the door.

Seeing it was Mu Shuangshuang, a smile immediately spread across her face.

"Girl, why have you come?" Cui Family’s wife asked.

"I came to see you and Grandpa Zhang! I was supposed to come earlier, but there were too many things going on, so it got pushed to now.

This is something for you and Grandpa Zhang! It’s not from the Northwest, when I returned, there was a war going on, everything was urgent, so there’s no specialty products!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Cui Family’s wife showed a face full of helplessness, "You come, just come, no need to bring gifts! This, I can’t accept it, take it back!"

"Don’t, grandma, in the whole village, only you and Grandpa Zhang appreciate tea, others just drink it quickly, giving this tea set to others would be a waste!"

Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking and insistently handed the tea set to Cui Family’s wife.

Cui Family’s wife had to accept the tea set.

She led Mu Shuangshuang inside, serving tea and snacks, afraid of neglecting Mu Shuangshuang.

Zhang Huai Shu, holding the tea set Mu Shuangshuang brought, immediately unwrapped the outer packaging, taking out the small tea ware inside.

The feel of purple clay tea ware is different from other tea sets.

Zhang Huai Shu had wanted to buy a set in the past but hadn’t found the right one, and such a set isn’t cheap.

So, the thought was shelved.

No one expected Mu Shuangshuang would bring one along.

The more he looked at it, the more Zhang Huai Shu liked it.

He constantly let out "hehe" laughs.

His delighted appearance didn’t need further explanation.

"Girl, you really hit the nail on the head, I always wanted to buy this tea set, but never got around to it, didn’t expect it would be you to fulfill my wish!" Zhang Huai Shu said.

Mu Shuangshuang nodded with a smile, "As long as you like it!"

"I like it, of course I do! By the way, are you alone? Where’s Feng? Didn’t he come back?" Zhang Huai Shu asked.

Upon hearing this, Mu Shuangshuang shook her head.

"He’s still fighting in Northwest Xing City! The fight between our Da Ning and Wei Kingdom is ongoing!"

Zhang Huai Shu had heard about this.

But that was some time ago, and he didn’t know how the current situation was.

"Girl, how much did this tea set cost? Let me pay you!" Zhang Huai Shu said.

"Grandpa Zhang, what are you saying? After giving you a gift, how can I ask for money!" Mu Shuangshuang’s face showed displeasure.

"Don’t be angry! I’m thinking about how you and Fengzi are young, there are many places where you’ll need money in the future, if you don’t save up a bit, what will you do with so much time ahead?"

Zhang Huai Shu had long regarded the person before him as his own granddaughter.

Saving money for a granddaughter is what Zhang Huai Shu should do!

"Precisely because we’re young, we shouldn’t take your money, young people’s money isn’t saved, it’s earned!" Mu Shuangshuang said earnestly.

This amused Zhang Huai Shu.

"Whatever you say always differs from others! Since you say it like this, I won’t give you money!

But if you need anything from me, just say it, this old man, even if I have to go through fire and water, I will!"

Zhang Huai Shu promised, patting his chest.

"Grandpa Zhang, don’t worry! I won’t make you go through fire, but healing and saving people is precisely what I need from you!"

Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Healing and saving people? Who?"

"Lu Yuanfeng’s grandfather, Old Sir Lu!"
