"A Cang, do you care about what she said?" asked Old Master Mu. His drooping eyes seemed calm, but they were like an iron hook, trying to hook out the secrets hidden in people's hearts one by one.
But this was only a tactic that worked when facing others. When facing Mu Shicang, it didn't stir up too many emotional waves in him. He even suppressed his previous anger and just smiled: "Of course I care. Without her, my plan would have to take a longer detour. But with her by my side, the plan will be accomplished smoothly in the near future."
Old Master Mu nodded and turned around. Mu Shicang followed him. At this time, he heard the old master say, "Grandpa just wants to remind you that there is no such thing as having the best of both worlds. If there are some things you must do, be prepared to regret it."
Mu Shicang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't quite understand what the old man meant: "Grandpa, you mean..."
Old Master Mu continued walking forward. A willow branch blocked his view. He grabbed a willow leaf and pushed it aside, saying, "Just like this little willow leaf. It's right in front of me, so it directly blocks my view. This is what they say: a single leaf can block the view. Don't let what's in front of you blind you."
Mu Shicang was still puzzled, but Old Master Mu stopped explaining. He turned a corner and walked in another direction. He had heard about what happened to Mu Shiyun, but when he saw that Mu Shifeng and Mu Jiangfeng had gone back, he knew that nothing would happen, so he didn't go over. In his eyes, Mu Shiyun was already a hopeless waste. As long as he didn't do evil in the name of the Mu family, he had given up on controlling him.
Mu Shicang seemed to understand what Old Master Mu said. After thinking for a while, he still couldn't come to a conclusion. Finally, he gave up temporarily and walked towards the rebuilt small white house.
The workers were currently working on the renovation according to the original design drawings. When he arrived, he happened to see Mu Jiangfeng squatting next to a grove of wax ash trees not far from the small white house, watching him reshape the wax ash trees.
Mu Jiangfeng is a child adopted by Mu Shilian, but no one knows whether he was adopted by him or was an illegitimate child. Anyway, Mu Jiangfeng is now a member of the Mu family and his cousin.
He has a dull personality and is quiet, but he has good abilities. Mu Shilian places almost all his hopes on him. After all, his own son has become a useless thing.
He was almost like air in the Mu family, rarely speaking unless necessary. Except for Mu Shilian, it was hard to imagine that he would have such a good conversation with someone he was not familiar with.
Of course, Mu Jiangfeng still had an indifferent look on his face, but from Mu Shicang's understanding of him, he was in a good mood at the moment. At least he responded to Yang Shushu's words.
Yang Shushu was really curious about why Mu Jiangfeng, a young man from the Mu family, was so interested in gardening. It seemed that he had quite good skills. Especially when she saw the cute little animals born from his expressionless face, the contrast was indescribably cute.
"Brother Feng, did you major in gardening when you were in school? You have good skills."
Mu Jiangfeng kept working, and after a while, he shook his head gently: "No."
"So you're self-taught?"
“…”Mu Jiangfeng nodded.
"Wow, that's amazing. Can you teach me when you have time?" Yang Shushu had a habit. No matter where she worked, she liked to ask the chef there to teach her a few tricks. When she worked in a small restaurant, she would ask the chef to teach her two home-cooked stir-fries. When she worked in a teahouse, she was obviously just a receptionist, but she insisted on learning how to make tea from the chef. When she worked in a martial arts gym, she would learn martial arts. There was even a time when she was a cleaner in a club and almost followed the master who came to unclog the toilet to learn how to unclog the toilet.
So, when she saw Mu Jiangfeng's superb craftsmanship, she couldn't help but want to learn it.
Mu Jiangfeng finally looked up at her and said, "It's very hard, and... it's unnecessary."
"I'm not afraid of hard work. And just because I don't need it now doesn't mean I won't need it in the future. Maybe one day I'll be a gardener." Yang Shushu said with a smile. Her smile became brighter from the moment she was discharged from the hospital. Her originally melancholy almond eyes always sparkled with light, which was sometimes bright, sometimes stubborn, and sometimes mischievous.
In short, she is now like a painting that originally had no highlights, but now has eyes painted on it, and it suddenly becomes lively.
When Mu Shicang came over, he heard her idealistic and eager words. He stood behind her, smiled at Mu Jiangfeng, and put his index finger to his lips, making a gesture to silence her.
Mu Jiangfeng glanced at him, said nothing, and turned back to trimming.
Yang Shushu didn't notice that more people came out from behind her and continued to persuade Mu Jiangfeng: "Brother Feng, I'm serious. I'm a very hardworking person and I'm not afraid of getting tired or dirty. I really want to learn. It feels like... it's like giving life to plants. It's a great sense of accomplishment."
Mu Jiangfeng suddenly stopped moving, but he still didn't turn around. He just shook his head with his back to him, indicating that he would not teach him.
Yang Shushu didn't force it anymore. She still squatted there, picked up a leaf and played with it in her hand. As she played, she seemed to have found something interesting, so she walked a few steps forward in a squatting position. Mu Shicang was curious about what she had found, so he followed her and walked forward. He got closer and closer, and leaned forward slightly, trying to look past her to where she was looking.
At this moment, Yang Shushu called out to Mu Jiangfeng, "Brother Feng... Oh my god!"
"Well!"
As she screamed, she suddenly stood up with a leaf in her hand, and her head suddenly hit a hard object, followed by two overlapping sounds. She screamed in pain.
It’s just that Yang Shushu’s shout was more straightforward, while the other one’s was a little subdued.
Yang Shushu jumped up with one hand on her head. When she turned around, she saw Mu Shicang standing behind her, holding his chin. When he saw her turn around, he put his hand down, adjusted his glasses, and pretended nothing happened: "Why are you here?"
Yang Shushu covered her head, furious. "I was just about to ask you why you were hiding behind me? Are you trying to murder me by poking my Baihui acupoint with that internet celebrity-like pointed chin of yours?"
"..."Mu Shicang was shocked by this wild imagination.
Even Mu Jiangfeng, who had his back to them, had a faint smile on his lips.
"Yang Shushu, you..." Mu Shicang hadn't felt speechless for many years, and today he felt the feeling of being speechless again for the first time in a long time.
Seeing this expression on Zhang's face, which always looked like he had everything under control and everyone was under his feet, Yang Shushu felt very arrogant and proud.
"What do you mean by 'me'? There's nothing to discuss between us. When you want a divorce, come find me."
After saying that, she actually ignored Mu Shicang, holding the leaf she had never let go of, and walked towards Mu Jiangfeng.
