I don't know if it's because of the incident with Gou Dan, but Mu Dashan didn't mention sending food to Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu again.
Instead, he settled down to enjoy dinner in peace.
During this meal, the people from the third branch, along with Lu Yuanfeng and his brother, ate heartily. The pot of snake soup was consumed to the point that not even the bones remained, and not a drop of the broth was left.
Mu Shuangshuang happily cleaned up the house and washed the dishes outside. Lu Yuanfeng helped her by holding the lamp, occasionally adding water or lending a hand.
Yu Si Niang carried a basin of water into her room, and while helping Mu Dashan wash his feet, she started to talk to him.
"Shuangshuang's dad, how long has it been since we've lived such a comfortable life?"
"This kind of life, I never dared to imagine. It's because our daughter is capable."
Mu Dashan's face showed both relief and appreciation.
