Category: After the Twin Husbands Swapped Lives

Wang Dongmei tried to throw a tantrum and argue with him, but Lu Liu told her, “If you’re rude to me, don’t expect to earn a single penny from me in the future.” His business was booming here, with county officials chasing after him to feed him. Offend him, and she’d be stuck farming for…

　　Chen Jiu thought for a moment, then nodded. “Auntie,” he said, “I thought you disliked me.” Chen Guizhi told him he needed to watch his tongue: “It’s not just about making money—you need to be kinder in daily life too. When you go out, people scold and criticize you every day. Does that make you…

　　Chen Jiu flushed red, lost in thought. After a long silence, she finally spoke: “I berated him, yet he didn’t retaliate. I used to think he was giving my cousin face—that with my maternal family backing me, I had nothing to fear from him. But now I realize that might not be the case. After…

Chen Guizhi knew his temperament well—he needed to stay busy and interact with people more often. She had gathered a large amount of wild mushrooms and bamboo shoots this time. Since she hadn’t sent any mushrooms last time, she planned to take them to the county seat along with the bamboo shoots. The family she…

Lu Yang stifled a laugh, his lips pressed tight, but his mischievous eyes gave him away, leaving Xie Yan flustered and unable to continue for a long while. After a moment, he finally said, “I’ve been busy for ages. I figured you guys must be worried too. I wanted to see what shape they were…

　　He ran all the way back, his eyes gleaming with excitement, brighter than the stars in the sky, his face flushed. His stamina hadn’t been built up yet. After running for a while, blood rushed to his head, and sweat beaded on his forehead. “Brother Yang! I’m skipping class tomorrow!” His voice was loud and…

　　It’s hard work, but there’s no other way. If you plant one less mu of land, that’s one less mu of grain to feed your family. The yield per mu is what it is. After paying the grain tax and setting aside enough to keep us fed, whatever’s left is what we can sell. If…

His mouth was well-trained, spouting strings of hawking phrases outdoors. Family members picked up the lingo, and with so many vendors around shouting their wares, the infectious atmosphere made those who didn’t hawk seem odd. Everyone competed to see who could shout the loudest. People need to eat and drink, and these days, Lu Yang’s…

　　To be a hunter, one must be hard-hearted and cold-blooded. He kissed Lu Liu tenderly: “I’ll take care of you.” Lu Liu snorted: “I’m not a squirrel.” Li Feng continued kissing him: “You’re my husband.” Lu Liu dodged him and said: “You can’t treat me like a squirrel.” 　　Li Feng didn’t actually think of him…

Most dishes featured wild mushrooms. Simmered radish used radish and mushrooms as the main ingredients. Stir-fried mushrooms with pork had little meat but plenty of mushrooms. Scrambled eggs with mushrooms had few eggs but many mushrooms. There was also stir-fried greens with mushrooms, where the greens dominated. Then came mushroom soup. The banquet’s two main…

Zhang Tieren was honest but overly dull. After working in the shop for so long, he only knew how much to do when given precise instructions. His quick-wittedness couldn’t hold a candle to Lu Lin’s. The more Xie Yan interacted with him, the more his sharpness became apparent. 　　The good thing was, he knew his…

　Lu Yang nodded to take note. After eating, he and Xie Yan took the filling and spring roll wrappers to the shop to make spring rolls, replacing his mother and Zhang Tie who had come over for a meal. Xie Yan helped him wrap them. 　　Making spring rolls was simple: place the filling in the…

When it came to wild game, they were helping Lu Yang by bringing in customers, but ultimately he didn’t make much profit—it was just about boosting foot traffic for his shop. The mountain mushrooms deal, however, was a true give-and-take, mutually beneficial arrangement. 　　Chen Guizhi had some standing with the village chief. With her extensive…

　　These books can only be produced in small batches—say, thirty copies at most. Such volumes don’t command high prices in scholarly circles, fetching just three cash per copy. Li Feng sells them for two cash each, meaning thirty books could bring in six taels of silver. One round of work nets over four taels. 　　With…

Poor families live frugally, rarely replacing their cotton garments. Lu Liu kept one coat for wearing, unraveling the rest to first make quilted vests, then saving the cotton for trousers. She altered large coats into smaller ones. Chen Guizhi and Shun helped out, seizing the opportunity while waiting for the county’s reply to finish this…

Xie Yan let him have his way: “My husband gave it to his younger brother. Do with it as you please.” He also intended to lend a hand, sparing Lu Yang future worries. “I’ll be heading to the provincial capital in a few months,” he said. “I’ll pick up a few more sketchbooks then.” Having…

Wang Fengnian felt slightly relieved. They had come empty-handed today. Li Feng’s arrival at home had been sudden, leaving no time for preparations. Besides, most of the household supplies had been given by Lu Yang, so there was no need to go back and forth moving things. He glanced again at the goods in the…

　　If you scold him, he’ll talk back. If you withhold food, he’ll shut up. Li Feng asked him, “Where’s Xie Yan? Why hasn’t he come home yet?” 　　At the mention of Xie Yan, Lu Yang’s expression shifted, a smile surfacing. “He’s back. He went to visit a classmate to learn a few nourishing soups and…

　　Li Feng hadn’t heard about it and joined the conversation: “How does roasting flour make money?” This was something Lu Lin had mentioned to Zhang Tie. The piglets would be picked up after delivering the roasted flour, using the same truck. The couple hadn’t caught all the details and didn’t understand the specifics, only knowing…
