Mu Chenze said stubbornly, "Compared to Liu Dapeng, he is a toad and you are a fat swan. But compared to me, you are a toad and I am a white swan."

Although Chu Xuan once compared himself to a toad and Mu Chenze to a white swan, that was just self-deprecation. But after hearing Mu Chenze say it himself today, he couldn't contain his anger and stretched out his hand to hit Mu Chenze on the back, "Beat you, white swan! I, a toad, don't want to eat a white swan like you. I just want to beat you up!"

Mu Chenze was hit a few times on the back and felt a little pain, so he quickly dodged.

Chu Xuan chased him and beat him, and he wanted to tease her, so he ran around the yard.

Chu Xuan chased after him but couldn't hit him at all. After a while, he was sweating and panting. He stopped chasing, "Don't...don't run! When I lose...lose weight successfully, I will chase you and beat you until...you surrender!"

Mu Chenze's face was filled with a sunny smile, "I've been waiting for that day! Let's go!"

It was not until his back disappeared that Chu Xuan realized that he had been teasing her.

That guy did it on purpose.

Chu Feng walked out of the bedroom door, looking confused. "Sister, you once told me that you were a toad. Why are you so angry when Brother Chenze said that? Is this what it means to say one thing and mean another?"

Chu Xuan patted his forehead lightly to sober himself up. "I'm not really angry, I'm just pretending to be angry. Compared to him, I'm just a toad. But I won't eat swan meat! You wash the dishes, I'm tired, I'm going to lie down in the house for a while."

"Okay."

Chu Feng quickly cleared the dishes.

Chu Xuan walked into the bedroom, took off her shoes, and lay down on the kang. She was not tired, but she felt that she could no longer understand Mu Chenze.

Forgot to give him dividends.

He stood up again, put on his shoes, counted out a dozen yuan from his pocket, and walked into the kitchen. "Xiao Feng, go give the money to Mu Chenze later. Just say it's for today. No need to say anything else, he will understand."

Put the money into Xiaofeng's trouser pocket.

Chu Feng asked with a smile, "Is this the dividend from today's fishing trip?"

"That's right. But I didn't really sell it. I gave it away as a favor."

"Who did you give it to?"

"Wei Qiang's mother and Uncle Long. I'm doing a favor, but I must give Mu Chenze a share of the dividends. He was supposed to get a share of the dividends from the sea raids anyway."

"Okay. I'll go after I finish washing the dishes."

"Don't tell Mu Chenze about this."

"OK."

Chu Feng agreed verbally, but in his heart he wanted to tell Mu Chenze.

Wei Qiang is my sister's savior. What will Brother Chenze do if my sister falls in love with Wei Qiang?

When Chu Xuan was resting on the kang, Chu Feng ran to Mu Chenze's house and stayed in Mu Chenze's room for a long time before leaving.

After watching Chu Feng leave, Mu Chenze looked at the dozen dollars in his hand with mixed feelings.

I just learned from Chu Feng that Chu Xuan is dating Wei Qiang's family, and it seems that Wei Qiang's mother likes Chu Xuan very much.

Wei Qiang is also single and has saved Chu Xuan.

Although Chu Xuan is still a fat girl now, she is obviously not as clumsy as before. Her face is also better looking than before, and her eyes look much brighter.

What if Wei Qiang falls in love with Chu Xuan and confesses his love to her? Will Chu Xuan break her promise not to marry because Wei Qiang saved her life?

Mu Chenze hadn't gotten enough sleep since returning from the city, and he felt sleepy and upset.

Let’s get some sleep first.

Who knows, after waking up, your heart might not be so confused.

He casually put the money in his hand into the drawer, took off his shoes, and lay down to sleep.

I slept soundly.

He had a dream that Chu Xuan was pushed into the sea by Chu Zhi and Feng Chunhua.

He searched on the sea in his boat, but couldn't find it...

After waking up, Mu Chenze found that he was sweating.

Even though it was just a dream, he was still a little scared. He didn't even bother to change into clean clothes or say hello to his family before running out in a hurry.

It was already dark, so he returned home to get a flashlight and went out again.

Fu Qing called him to eat, but didn't ask him to stay up.

"What happened to Xiaoze?"

Qin Mahua stepped forward and said, "He must be running towards Xiaoxuan's house."

Fu Qing was very curious, "How do you know?"

"Because I overheard him talking in his sleep today. His voice was very low, but I could still make out that he was calling for Chu Xuan and looking for her everywhere. I guess he had a nightmare, so he went to Xiao Xuan's house to make sure she was okay, and then he'll come back."

Fu Qing asked tentatively, "Mom, Chen Ze likes Xiao Xuan so much, why don't we just be frank with her! Let's propose with sincerity. Who knows, maybe we can move her."

Qin Mahua shook her head gently. "No, let Xiaoxuan and Xiaoze handle it! I've come to terms with it, so let nature take its course."

Fu Qing let out a long sigh, as long as his mother-in-law can let it go.

As long as her mother-in-law doesn't interfere, Chu Xuan won't be embarrassed.

In fact, Fu Qing could see that Chu Xuan was very good to Chen Ze, but they had not yet confirmed their relationship. There must be some difficulties, but she just didn't want to say it out loud.

About ten minutes later, Mu Chenze arrived outside Chu Xuan's house.

The courtyard door was open and Chu Xuan was standing in the yard hanging clothes.

Mu Chenze finally felt relieved when he saw that she was fine.

Chu Xuan saw him and said with a smile, "Come over to pick up the grilled fish fillets? Eh? Where's your cart?"

Mu Chenze scratched his head, his face flushed. "I was half asleep, thinking it was getting late, so I hurried to your house to pick up the grilled fish fillets, but I forgot to bring the cart. I'll go home and pick it up now."

Chu Xuan didn't doubt him, "Walk slowly on the road and be careful."

"Okay." Mu Chenze suddenly said, "Chu Xuan, can you swim?"

"I can only hold my breath. Does that count as swimming?"

"That certainly doesn't count. I'll teach you how to swim."

"What? You want to teach me? Aren't you afraid of people gossiping?"

"Being gossiped about is better than dying without being able to swim."

"Why do you say that suddenly?"

"Because I had a dream. I dreamed that you were pushed into the sea by Chu Zhi and Feng Chunhua, and you drowned because you couldn't swim. Starting tomorrow, I will teach you how to swim."

These words shocked Chu Xuan so much that he was speechless for a moment.

Could it be that he dreamed of her falling into the sea in her previous life?

Before she could ask any more questions, Mu Chenze had already left.

After returning home, he was about to go out again with his cart when Qin Mahua called him, "Xiao Ze, come to your bedroom. I want to talk to you for a few minutes."

Mu Chenze has always been filial, and he must listen carefully to what his mother has to say.

Put down the cart and walk into the bedroom obediently.

Qin Mahua also walked in, deliberately lowering her voice, "You like Xiaoxuan and don't mind that she's fat, right?"

Mu Chenze denied it directly, "I mind her being fat, very much. I like people with good figures. Mom, don't tell me that I like her and that she and I are just buddies. If you say that, we won't even be buddies. Don't forget, she's our family's benefactor, and we shouldn't push our benefactor further away."

Qin Mahua is a smart person. She understands her own son very well.

My son definitely likes Xiaoxuan, but Xiaoxuan doesn’t accept this liking, so he refuses to admit it.

However, she knew in her heart that Xiaoxuan was very good to Xiaoze, no doubt about it.

"Xiao Xuan told others that Xiao Feng didn't want to get married before she came of age. Maybe she has some difficulties. Once I find out, our family will help her solve those difficulties."

Mu Chenze didn't expect his mother to be so sensible and didn't want to hide it anymore.
