Chapter 18: One-Handed Princess Carry, A Killer Move!

Yu Miaomiao leaned on a stick with one hand and carried a big grey rabbit with the other.

Su Tang had a bamboo basket full of roses slung around her waist and held a large bunch of roses with stems and leaves in her hand.

Both of them looked a little disheveled, but they were smiling brightly, and the air around them smelled sweet wherever they went.

“Wife, where have you two been?” Mu Jingyun hurried over, scooped her up in a princess carry, and asked, “Where did you get the rabbit?”

“Caught it in the mountains,” Su Tang said with a smile.

Yu Miaomiao had already instructed her on the way that they couldn’t say they found it, only that they caught it. These days, even eating meat could make people jealous, let alone such a big, fat rabbit.

Mu Jingzhou’s brows furrowed even tighter. “You went into the mountains?”

“Yeah, we originally wanted to see if there were any mountain products to improve our meals. We saw the roses and picked some,” Su Tang explained.

Mu Jingzhou silently untied the bamboo basket from her waist.

The movies were right, pretty girls loved flowers. Although he didn’t understand it, he didn’t object. He just said, “It’s so dangerous for two women to go into the mountains. Don’t go next time.”

Mu Jingyun also said, “Exactly, one of you is weak, and the other is limping. What if you run into bad guys?”

“Got it. You deal with the rabbit; we’ll have a good meal tonight,” Yu Miaomiao said.

“Okay!”

Mu Jingyun carried his wife in one arm and the rabbit in the other.

Su Tang’s eyes lit up. “Wow, Second Brother’s overflowing with boyfriend power!”

“Boyfriend power?” Mu Jingzhou didn’t understand.

“Cough, it means he’s incredibly strong and protective,” Su Tang explained, having once been a fan of an idol.

The origin of the addiction: The cool idol carried the female lead in one arm while holding her high heels in the other.

It was absolutely killer!

Mu Jingyun and Yu Miaomiao were currently recreating a low-budget version of that killer scene!

Mu Jingzhou thought she was envious and got unhappy.

Who didn’t have some strength?

He suddenly reached out and also carried Su Tang in one arm.

“Ah—”

Su Tang was startled and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, causing a few crimson rose petals to fall.

Surrounded by the fragrance, Mu Jingzhou felt his blood rush, and he felt even stronger.

He carried Su Tang in one arm and the basket full of roses in the other.

Old Man Mu and Old Lady Mu were both stunned!

What was going on? In broad daylight, one after another, they were all rushing to carry their wives?

“You…”

“Big Brother, you clean the rabbit.”

Before Old Lady Mu could get angry, Mu Jingyun threw the rabbit to Mu Jingyuan.

What a fat rabbit!

It instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

“My wife and Third Sister-in-law hunted it in the mountains,” Mu Jingyun added proudly.

Old Lady Mu immediately smiled. “Oh, you’re so capable!”

“We’ll have rabbit meat tonight.” Li Lan was also happy, but also felt guilty.

Fortunately, the second and third brothers had left half a bowl of rice each, otherwise Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao would have gone hungry.

“The rabbit is nice. What are you doing with so many flowers?” Old Man Mu asked.

Su Tang winked mischievously. “Third Brother likes them, so he asked me to pick them.”

Mu Jingzhou: !!!

When did he ask her to pick flowers?

“Oh, Third Brother is quite romantic,” Li Lan said, unusually tolerant because of the rabbit. “Second Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law, wash your hands and come eat!”

Going up the mountain was strenuous work, and Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao were indeed hungry.

After washing their faces and hands, they went to the kitchen.

However, there was only half a bowl of rice left.

Yu Miaomiao and Su Tang exchanged glances, both angry.

Just because they didn’t cook, they wouldn’t get any food?

“Husband, you keep the rice for me; are you full?” Su Tang went out with half a bowl of rice, smiling sweetly, showing no sign of anger.

Mu Jingzhou paused before saying, “Full.”

Heh, it was indeed the rice his husband had saved for her. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been a single grain.

“Liar!” Su Tang went over coquettishly, handing the bowl to Mu Jingzhou. “Wait.”

She went to the room and took out the cured chicken, deliberately shaking it.

Li Lan’s eyes followed the chicken. “Third Sister-in-law, isn’t this chicken meant to be eaten together during the New Year?”

“It was supposed to be. But we’re too hungry now, and the cured chicken is quicker to prepare.” Su Tang laughed loudly. “Second Sister-in-law, there’s not enough rice, so use the chicken to make another dish.”

“What’s quicker? Make some dumpling soup, that’s faster.” Old Lady Mu got up to take the chicken. “Keep the chicken; we’ll eat it during the Dragon Boat Festival.”

Su Tang cleverly spun around, successfully avoiding Old Lady Mu. “You didn’t leave any food for me, why should I leave the chicken for you?”

“Besides, Second Brother and Third Brother aren’t full either, and they have to work this afternoon!”

Su Tang’s words were like a slap in Old Lady Mu’s face.

A mother-in-law intentionally starving her daughters-in-law who hunted wild game in the mountains had no grounds to stand on.

She could only retreat sullenly.

Old Man Mu glared at her. “Are you so petty? You’ve married them in, why are you still bringing up old scores?”

“I, I… I don’t care anymore!”

Old Lady Mu, feeling frustrated, went back to her room. Out of sight, out of mind!

Yu Miaomiao also had pent-up anger, and when she chopped the cured chicken, she did it deliberately loudly.

The chicken was boiled first, and when the meat was tender, the rice was added and stirred in.

The rice clung to the chicken, making it seem like there was more meat than rice!

Li Lan’s mouth watered. “Second Sister-in-law, my husband and I aren’t full either…”

“None left.”

Yu Miaomiao waved her spatula, serving four bowls, not leaving a single grain of rice or a piece of meat.

One bowl each for Mu Jingyun, Mu Jingzhou, Su Tang, and Yu Miaomiao.

The two brothers had never eaten such a luxurious fried rice; they ate it happily.

“Then, give us a few less pieces of meat! My nephew is craving it!” Li Lan patted her not-so-pregnant belly.

Su Tang was even more skillful, touching her belly and saying, “Sister-in-law, my nephew said he doesn’t want any.”

Li Lan: …

“Nonsense! How can a fetus talk? Third Sister-in-law, just say you don’t want to give any.” Mu Jingyuan sneered.

“Then, I’ll say it clearly. I don’t want to give any.” Su Tang smiled, enjoying her chicken immensely.

Mu Jingyuan: …

Forget it, he wouldn’t argue with a woman. He’d wait for the rabbit meat tonight!
