Chapter 963 - 964_1
"Ah, looking at your doting wife and young child, I suddenly feel like getting married," said Mu Shaofeng enviously, as he listened to the two’s bland conversation.
Luo Linhao, the little devil, then said, "Ah, how pitiful, I still have several years before I can get married." As he spoke, he suddenly stroked his chin and added, "But I feel that Brother Shaoling and you are the most pitiable!"
Although he was addressing Mu Shaofeng, seeing Mu Shaofeng raise an eyebrow, he continued, "Look at you and Brother Shaoling, both of you are of age now, even three or four years older than my cousin, right? There are even more who are older than me. At your ages, isn’t it common to have a bunch of children already? Now, I even have a fiancee, but you two don’t even have a shadow of one. I truly worry for you."
With this speech, Mu Shaofeng was stopped in his tracks.
He looked at Mu Shaoling, puzzled, his eyes starkly questioning, "Why are you going to such lengths to arrange a marriage and set an engagement for this brat? What’s the point?"
Could it be just so he can talk smack like this?
Mu Shaoling also felt that he was making trouble for himself without any gratitude in return.
Meanwhile, Luo Linhao continued rambling on, "Brother Shaoling, if you don’t hurry up, by the time my cousin’s son is able to take the imperial examinations, it will be too late to have a daughter then. She either will think my cousin’s son is too old, or my cousin’s son will think she is too young."
After finishing, he sighed a few times, oblivious to the circle of people around him who were speechless or covering their faces, especially Mu Shaoling whose face had turned too dark to look at.
Yang Chuxia was so nervous for him that she was sweating, thinking to herself, kids can’t just say anything that comes to mind, even if it’s the truth.
Sure enough, Mu Shaoling asked in a somewhat dark but polite tone, "If I beat him up now, none of you would have any objections, right?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison. Mu Shaofeng even said it would be good to be a bit harsher.
So when Luo Linhao realized something was amiss, he was already being picked up by Mu Shaoling and given a thrashing.
Seeing him walk in holding his buttocks, limping and wearing an expression of grievance, Yang Chuxia wanted to laugh. This guy was just a joker.
"Uncle Luo said that Linyu will stay and follow Xiaxia around!" Mu Shaoling said after sitting down again.
Yang Chuxia was surprised at this remark. Linyu had been in Yangshu Village for several years now, and she was just going to stay on like this?
"Cousin-in-law, I entrust my sister to you," Luo Linhao said with a twist of his mouth, while Yang Chuxia was still puzzled. "The Luo Family’s harem might as well be a battlefield, and I’m going to the military camp when I return. Although my father is in the Capital City, he’s often not at home. Linyu on her own won’t be able to face those people; she wouldn’t even know how she died if someone took advantage of her. It’s safer for her to stay here. Cousin-in-law, you were tough and formidable in the past. If she follows you, she can learn how to deal with scumbags from you."
Listening to him, Yang Chuxia felt a little choked up. So this was the point of his whole speech, was it? Just how fearsome and ferocious was she that everyone needed to learn from her?
Before she could finish feeling annoyed, Luo Linhao added, "You might as well teach Yunyun to be a bit tougher, so she can help me deal with scumbags in the future too."
"Alright, I’ll take good care of her."
Although she was somewhat conflicted, the little devil did have a point. It was indeed safer for Linyu to stay here.
"Ah..." The group was still talking, the atmosphere growing somewhat sentimental.
After this farewell, they did not know how many years it would be before they saw each other again. Mu Shaoling had taken care of all his matters here and would likely not return unless there was a reason.
