Lu Sanzhu raised his voice, probably because he had been stopped by the shop assistant. He was quite noisy.
Shu Yu recalled that he had gone out early in the morning to find out what Old Lady Ruan was up to, and now he had even come straight to the county. The results he had obtained must be very important.
She told Sanya and Dahu to continue pounding the medicine, then she clapped her hands and walked to the front.
The old lady had also heard the commotion. She was already standing in front of Lu Sanzhu. She raised her hand and smacked him on the head, “Never mind if you come, but why are you making so much noise? Don’t you know where you are? If you get your second brother into trouble and he can’t recuperate well, I’ll beat you to death.”
As Lu Sanzhu dodged, he said, “Mother, mother, stop hitting me. I have something important to discuss with Erya.”
“Other than blackmailing her, what other important things can you possibly have? I’m warning you, don’t bother Erya.”
Lu Sanzhu was extremely annoyed, “How am I annoying her? It’s Erya who asked me for help.”
As he spoke, he saw Shu Yu walk out. He quickly ran behind her and hid.
Shu Yu said to the old lady, “Indeed, I asked third uncle to help me find out something. Grandma, I’m going out for a while.
The old lady was stunned. What did Erya just call her? Did she call her grandma?
The old lady wiped her face and said kindly, “Okay, okay, okay. Go along then.”
Lu Sanzhu felt that his mother’s attitude had changed too quickly. She was so nice to her granddaughter but always beat or scold him, the youngest son. This was simply unacceptable.
He followed Shu Yu out in anger.
Only then did the old lady realize that her youngest son could actually help.
This son of hers was a lazy person who would definitely not sit if he could lie down. Her second son’s family had been in such a difficult situation, yet he had never helped. But now, he had only just met Erya, and she could actually order him around?
There must be a problem. This can’t do, she had to ask Madam Ruan what had happened when she was not around.
The old lady turned around and hurried back to the backyard.
On the other side, Shu Yu had already led Lu Sanzhu out of the clinic and into a small alley.
“Tell me, what’s the situation with the Ruan family?”
Lu Sanzhu chuckled, “Erya, it’s been a long journey for me. I didn’t even have lunch. I’m so hungry that I can’t think straight.”
Shu Yu took a step back, “There are still vegetable leaves between your teeth, and you smell like buns when you speak. You must have eaten some vegetable buns just now, right?”
Lu Sanzhu was speechless. Damn it, why was Erya so smart?
Shu Yu said, “Hurry up and tell me. If the information you give is valuable, I’ll treat you to meat.”
“You said it yourself.” Lu Sanzhu’s eyes brightened.
Without further ado, he said, “You don’t know this, but Old Lady Ruan is inhumane. She came crying to find second sister-in-law all for Dahu and
Sanya.”
“What does this have to do with Dahu and Sanya?” Shu Yu frowned.
Lu Sanzhu looked left and right, then lowered his voice, “I heard that Lord Yu in town has been married for many years, but he has no children. Recently, a master went to his house and read his fortune. That master said that as long as the family adopted a pair of twins under the age of ten, a son could be conceived. Thus, Lord Yu wanted to buy a pair of twins to bring home.”
Shu Yu abruptly raised her head and gritted her teeth, “You mean, Old Lady
Ruan has the idea of stealing children again?!”
Lu Sanzhu clapped his hands, “Isn’t that just so?”
