It was not that he was not angry with his daughter for making the decision on her own. Still, his anger simply dissipated as he looked at his daughter’s watery eyes and his innocent and carefree son.
However, Mu Yangling was very curious. “Father, what agreement does our Mu family have with the village?”
Mu Shi glanced at his swaying son and pointed at the small stool. “Move it over and sit down.”
Mu Yangling ran over to bring two stools over, then sat in front of Mu Shi with her brother.
Mu Shi said with a hint of melancholy, “I originally wanted to tell you when you grow up, lest you develop resentment in your hearts and grow crooked. But from the looks of it, you’re indeed the descendants of my Mu family. You’re kind-hearted and already know how to help others at such a young age.”
Mu Yangling blushed at her father’s shamelessness. Shu Wanniang, who was sitting at the door making clothes, burst out laughing. Only the naive Little Bowen gazed at his father proudly.
“Be serious. Don’t lead the children astray.” Shu Wanniang glared at him. “Since you’re going to tell them, explain everything clearly so that the children won’t have any doubts in the future.”
Mu Shi knew that she was talking about his aunt, Madam Fang-Liu. His relationship with his other relatives was alright, but he was completely estranged with Madam Fang-Liu, to the point where they wouldn’t even exchange New Year’s gifts.
Mu Shi stroked his son’s head and said, “This is going to be a long story. I need to start from your grandfather’s time.” Mu Shi looked at his daughter carefully as he said, “Ah Ling, you bear a 70% resemblance to your grandfather. You can imagine how handsome your grandfather is, right?”
Mu Yangling’s mouth fell open.
“Back then, when your grandfather settled down in Nearhill Village, it caused a stir in the surrounding villages. Not to mention those girls of marriageable age, even those married young wives forgot how to walk when they saw your grandfather.” Mu Shi looked at his daughter regretfully and said, “Unfortunately, although your facial features look like your grandfather’s, you didn’t inherit your grandfather’s skin color. You’re easily tanned, while your grandfather’s face was as fair as jade, even after being exposed to the wind and sun for years.”
Speechless, Mu Yangling touched her face. She was only nine years old now. Although she was a little tanned, her skin was delicate and smooth, while her pores were invisible. She thought she looked beautiful when she gazed in the mirror every day.
