Lu Sanzhu and his wife ran to the kitchen and drank the ginger soup while whispering to each other. They excitedly discussed where to use the seven taels.
The old lady couldn’t be bothered with them. She shook her head and asked Lanhua questions again.
“Since you came to the county early in the morning, why didn’t you come to Grandma’s place? What did you have for lunch?”
Lanhua said in a low voice, “I only came to sell the silk ribbons that I’ve been saving for a long time. I came here with a girl from the village. I thought I would come over after I was done, but I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing.
I had the biscuits I brought for lunch.”
Actually, she had some hidden thoughts that she didn’t say. She came to the county today while deliberately dressed up like Shu Yu. She spent a long time coordinating this outfit.
When she set off, many had told her that she looked good.
Although she was happy, she felt somewhat diffident. She was afraid that Shu Yu would see through her secret thoughts when she came over, so she did not dare to come immediately. She thought that she might as well sell her silk ribbons first.
“What about the other girl?”
Lanhua explained, “When we went to the peach blossom forest to sell the silk ribbons in the afternoon, we separated. Her luck was better. It didn’t take long for her to meet a group of girls and sell all her silk ribbons. She came over to tell me she was going back. I hadn’t sold much and didn’t want to leave, so I told her that I was going to visit my Grandmother later and asked her to go back first.
the old lady nodded and patted her hand, “Don’t go alone when you’re in an unfamiliar place next time. It doesn’t matter if the silk ribbons can’t be sold, safety is more important. When you go back later, go with your Third Uncle and his wife. It’s just that your eyes are still swollen. After you get back, your mother will definitely nag you endlessly.”
Lanhua thought of Madam Li’s possible reaction and shrunk her neck.
“It’s, it’s fine. My father is still around.”
“It’s good that you have some thoughts.”
This time, even if her eldest son was around, it would probably be useless.
First, her second son’s family moved to the county and even opened a shop. Now, her third son and his wife had found jobs and would come over tomorrow. The people who were originally living worse than Lu Dasong were now city dwellers. Wouldn’t her eldest daughter-in-law go crazy from anger?
The old lady shook her head secretly and shouted into the kitchen, “Sanzhu, Sanzhu’s wife, it’s getting late. The two of you should go back first. Didn’t you say that you still have to pack your luggage after getting back? Don’t be late.”
Lu Sanzhu ran out happily, “Mother, we’re going now.”
“Right, go, quickly go.”
Lu Sanzhu chuckled and looked at Shu Yu. The latter sighed, “Fine. I’ll lend you the mule carriage for a day.”
“Yu is so considerate.”
After saying that, he went to pull the mule carriage. Just as his fingers were on the reins, he suddenly thought of something and immediately stopped.
He ran over again and whispered to Shu Yu, “Yu, come here. I forgot to tell you something. ”
The old lady was impatient, “What are you waiting for?”
“Mother, it will be done in a while.”
Lu Sanzhu dragged Shu Yu into the house.
The others in the courtyard looked at each other, and the old lady rolled her eyes.
Shu Yu followed Lu Sanzhu into the house, and the latter closed the door behind her.
“What are you doing?”
Lu Sanzhu quickly walked over, then fumbled around in his sleeve before taking out a jade token.
“This is for you. It’s from those three young masters.”
Shu Yu was stunned. She took the jade token and found that it felt very good. When she looked at the patterns, it was indeed top-grade. She looked at Lu Sanzhu in shock, “You, you stole it?”
“How could I possibly?”
