Chapter 369: Chapter 367: I’ve Eaten More Salt Than You’ve Eaten Rice (First Update)
"But you’re a girl!"
Feng Xiaohua still felt uneasy.
"That’s why I need to find some help!"
Mu Shuangshuang thought about it for a moment; with the money she and Lu Yuanfeng currently had, it wouldn’t be a problem to support Yuanbao and Xiao Han in their studies.
But if they were to start a business in town, they didn’t have enough silver, so it might be better to save up slowly. After all, she and Fengzi were still young and maybe they’d come into some money one day.
"If you really can find someone, this job is indeed pretty good." Feng Xiaohua nodded.
Generally, when people throw a banquet, there are two ways: one is to negotiate a menu with the chef and then buy the ingredients themselves for the banquet. The other way is outsourcing, and in that case, the chef earns the most.
Moreover, a banquet consists of just one or two meals, and the hard work lasts only for a short period.
"Let me be your assistant, I have nothing else to do anyway." Yu Si Niang said with a smile.
Yesterday, she was still thinking about work, and today her daughter came up with the idea, which was impressive. Plus, she had worked as a kitchen assistant in town before, so kitchen duties were not a problem for her.
"Haha, that’s great. When Xiao Hua and I get married, we’ll invite Sis and Shuangshuang, then it’ll be like ’keep wealth within the family.’" Yu Liulang’s words made everyone burst into laughter, creating a harmonious atmosphere at the dining table.

Old Mu Family
Since last night, after Mu Shuangshuang clarified matters, Old Mrs. Mu didn’t sleep at all. Early in the morning, she wanted to stir up trouble at Wang Erma’s house but was stopped by Mr. Mu.
Mr. Mu felt that Wang Erma behaved unfairly, and if they went alone, they might not gain any advantage. So he wanted to wait until breakfast was over, and then make a fuss when the villagers went out for a walk.
He intended to teach Wang Erma a lesson.
After breakfast, everyone from the Old Mu Family came out. Mrs. Lin and Mu Dazhong were dilly-dallying, especially Mu Dazhong, who had been in the latrine all morning and still hadn’t come out.
"Fifth, go see if your second brother has fallen into the pit or something, why hasn’t he come out yet." Mr. Mu called to Mu Danian, who was idly standing by.
"Hmph, don’t you know Old Two’s nature by now? He knows he’s done something wrong and is hiding." Old Mrs. Mu snorted coldly, speaking harshly.
"I don’t understand how he still has the face to hide. It’s just Wang Erma, not some big man. Ugh, pitiful lack of status."
Seeing his second brother being scolded, Mu Danian was delighted. He had spent the night at Chen Hong’s house, enjoying a stormy affair, so he missed out on the family’s drama.
However, in the morning, after asking his mother and learning the facts, he could imagine what happened; his second brother must have been up to something.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be hiding in the latrine.
"Mom, regardless of whether my second brother has a reputation, he caused this mess, so he has to go, and the third branch is also part of the family, so they should send someone too."
Mu Danian always liked to join in the fun, and he certainly wouldn’t miss today’s case.
Old Mrs. Mu found it quite interesting and said to Mu Dajiang, "Fourth, you like to follow the third branch around their tails, so go call them over. If they don’t come, neither should you. Fifth, you come with me to the latrine to see if your second brother is licking shit in there."
Old Mrs. Mu always spoke vulgarly, and never had a kind word to say.
The people in the Old Mu Family were used to it, and everyone went about their business according to Old Mrs. Mu’s instructions.
Old Mrs. Mu trotted with her small feet towards the latrine, while Mu Danian deliberately muffled his footsteps.
Inside the latrine, the stench had left Mu Dazhong woozy all morning, but he refused to step out.
Dragging it out for as long as possible.
Sitting on the latrine plank, Mu Dazhong hadn’t even taken his pants down, as he didn’t actually intend to relieve himself.
At that moment, Old Mrs. Mu lifted the latrine curtain and pinched Mu Dazhong’s ear with her nails.
"You damned beast! You really were hiding in the latrine. I thought you fell in."
Old Mrs. Mu twisted Mu Dazhong’s ear 360 degrees, making him yowl in pain.
"Mom, let go... let go, it hurts, it hurts..."
Mu Dazhong cried out, but Old Mrs. Mu refused to let go. Instead, she dragged Mu Dazhong out of the latrine by his ear.
Being a six-foot-tall grown man, pulled out by a less-than-five-foot-tall old lady by the ear was indeed quite embarrassing, but Mu Dazhong dared not resist, as any movement prompted harsher punishment from his mother.
"Mom, you’re going to ruin my ear."
"Ruin your ear so you’ll behave, you beast."
Finally, reaching Mr. Mu, Old Mrs. Mu gave Mu Dazhong a kick, directly knocking him to Mu Shuangshuang’s feet.
His hand just happened to land by Mu Shuangshuang’s feet, and Mu Shuangshuang pretended to be startled.
With a firm step, she directly stepped on Mu Dazhong’s hand.
Mu Dazhong let out a loud cry, withdrew his hand, and began to blow on it repeatedly.
"Ouch~ it hurts like hell, it hurts like hell, my fingers are broken, broken..."
Mrs. Lin saw her husband being stepped on by Mu Shuangshuang and rushed up to cause trouble, but was blocked by Yu Si Niang.
"Second sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Yu Si Niang, are you blind? Your daughter is bullying our Daddy Gou Dan, do you think you can cover it up?" Mrs. Lin placed her hands on her hips, her belly defiantly pushing against Yu Si Niang.
It was as if to say, if Yu Si Niang dared, she could hit her belly, she wasn’t afraid!
"Mom, just now Shuangshuang was wrong. Shuangshuang shouldn’t have accidentally stepped on Second Uncle’s fingers. Shuangshuang apologizes to Second Uncle."
Mu Shuangshuang’s unusually obedient behavior made Mrs. Lin feel something was off, but she couldn’t pinpoint it.
Mr. Mu understood, though. Shuang really wasn’t apologizing; she was clearly mocking him.
This girl, she truly had a sharp tongue!
"Alright, it’s too early in the morning to be making a fuss. Second, you caused this mess, so you have to go, and Shuang, don’t try to pull anything in front of this old man. I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve had meals."
Mr. Mu’s words were a clear indication of his stance, he wasn’t taking sides.
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t expect him to.
She wasn’t Mu Dade, after all; it would be surprising if Mr. Mu liked her.
"Oh!" Mu Dazhong reluctantly nodded.
As for Mu Shuangshuang, she didn’t even acknowledge Mr. Mu. She was just a spectator, so why bother herself with what the Old Mu Family did or said?
Mr. Mu certainly noticed and made a mental note. He planned to have a word with the third branch at some point. Shuang’s arrogance would eventually cause trouble for the Old Mu Family!
