Series: After the Twin Husbands Swapped Lives

“Mm.” Li Feng said, “You can add two more if you want.” He usually ate two eggs himself. Now that he was married, it only made sense to double that. Lu Liu: ?? He could add two more. Two! That was *three wen!* He had already used two eggs—just breakfast alone was costing *six wen!*…

The hunting dog had been tamed. Li Feng brought Lu Liu over to familiarize him with it. Er Huang recognized Lu Liu’s scent and didn’t bark when he approached. Lu Liu stood outside the doghouse for a while, watching Er Huang drool in long strings, but it didn’t pounce or attack him. His fear subsided…

Silly Zhu said, “Er Xi stole all of this.” Lu Yang asked again, “Who is Er Xi?” Silly Zhu replied, “The one who tried to beat you up yesterday.” He even pointed the way, hoping Lu Yang would go to Er Xi’s house for another “raid.” Lu Yang showed great potential as the village bully.…

During the meal, they continued discussing the debt issue. Zhao Peilan, speaking intermittently, revealed more details. At first, they couldn’t withstand the pressure and gave away some land. Later, they refused to give more, but the land remained there, and every harvest season, villagers would come and snatch the grain, often clashing with the tenant…

Lu Yang and Xie Yan walked quickly, only slowing down once the village was no longer in sight. Xie Yan, unused to such physical exertion after years of scholarly study, was exhausted. Every step felt like a struggle, his legs as heavy as lead. Seeing this, Lu Yang led him to rest by the roadside,…

Luo Dayong had already planned to buy some supplies for Lu Yang, so he went along with him. Lu Yang mentioned that he wanted to sell steamed buns. Traveling all the way to the east city gate would be too far, so he asked Luo Dayong to put in a word with his colleagues at…

Lu Liu had his own way of cooking. Growing up poor, he never wasted seasonings, but food had to taste good. Ever since he learned how to cook, he had carefully rationed every bit of spice, measuring with precision. Over the years, he had mastered the balance—too much made dishes greasy or salty, too little…

When Li Feng turned over, a rush of cold air slipped into the blanket. But before Lu Liu could even shiver, Li Feng’s body was already wrapped around him, filling the space with warmth in an instant. The rough, eager kisses that followed didn’t bring the pain Lu Liu had imagined. Instead, he gradually relaxed.…

Lu Lin stopped mid-bite, awkwardly pointing to himself. “So… what about me?” Lu Yang laughed. “You don’t count. What, I’m gonna come asking you for a plate?” Lu Lin relaxed at that. He didn’t want to linger too long—there were still four small buns left in the bowl, and he wanted to take them home…

Chen Guizhi was pacing around the house again. “I don’t think you’ve gone crazy. I think you’ve been cursed. I’m calling a fortune-teller later to help you break this bad luck.” Li Feng said, “…Seriously, just come stay with me for a couple of days. I was worried you two might argue, but now I’m…

He racked his brain, trying to recall all the things his mother had been ranting about the past few days. Then he told Lu Liu, “Your dad just wants you to squeeze more benefits out of me. You tell him, if I’m not even giving you face, then he’s getting nothing. Tell him to show…

Lu Liu asked for a whole slab of tofu. Lu Sanfeng thought he meant to buy it—but no, he wanted it for free. She blew up immediately, cursing him out on the spot: “You ungrateful brat! Always siding with outsiders! Don’t you know what kind of situation we’re in at home? You come back and…

Li Feng wasn’t buying it. Lu Liu, seeing he was an old man, felt a flicker of sympathy after his padded coat had been stripped off, leaving him looking pitiful. But then Li Feng spotted the red, sore spot on Lu Liu’s forehead—right where Lu Sanfeng had poked him. It was red and swollen. Li…

Lu Erbao asked, “How many acres are we talking about?” Xie Yan didn’t know how much land the Lu family had. He hadn’t been paying attention when he’d looked around, and had forgotten many details. Lu Yang finished flipping the sweet potato slices and tapped his chopsticks against the stone slab. When Xie Yan heard…

The future was like dough, so they began by cooperating lightly, starting with raising pigs. The Lu family wouldn’t lose much; with just their family, they couldn’t compete with the greedy relatives, who were like wolves. They needed to pull in a few more families. How to pull them in? Once the piglets were born…

Lu Yang motioned for him to bring his head closer. Xie Yan, understanding the implication, leaned in, and Lu Yang kissed him on the cheek. After the kiss, Lu Yang’s mind wandered. “Thin skin, thick filling—it’s a good bun.” This saying was a double entendre. Xie Yan, too, was a good bun. He laughed again,…

Li Feng said, “It’s not like you’ve never seen it before.” Lu Liu, being honest, replied, “It was too dark, I couldn’t see clearly.” Li Feng: “…” So it really was his fault. He asked, “Well, did you figure it out?” Lu Liu was caught off guard and couldn’t speak smoothly. Li Feng was messing…

Li Tian couldn’t possibly pay back this debt. He had once followed Li Feng into the mountains, but after three months of hunting, he couldn’t take it anymore. There were so many snakes and insects in the mountains, no matter how much protection he used, it was never enough. He also couldn’t tell the difference…

Selling food on the streets requires skill, and it all depends on the location. In poor areas, no matter how loud you shout, people won’t spend their money on meat-filled buns. Three meat buns for fifteen wen, which is enough to buy a pound of meat and make them at home. Lu Yang walked toward…

If it were anyone else, and two people just stood at the door without saying a word, they would definitely get scolded. But their family of three was passive by nature, and it was Er Huang’s barking that forced Lu Liu to break the silence, cautiously asking, “Who are you looking for?” Lu Erbao and…
