That was true, but this was too sudden.
Madam Li felt sour. Why should Dahu be the one go to school? Dahu didn’t look smart and was the youngest among the brothers. It should be Erniu who should go first.
Madam Li was extremely upset, but Madam Liang’s brain was already whirring. She moved closer to the old lady and smiled obsequiously, “Mother, since Dahu is going to school, should we send Dabao to school too?”
Madam Li’s eyes instantly lit up when she heard that. She looked at the old lady expectantly. If both Dahu and Dabao went, Erniu would surely be able to go too.
The old lady was so angry that she laughed coldly, “I do want all my grandsons to study and learn, but what can I do? Their parents are too useless and can’t afford it. If you want Dabao and Erniu to go to school, sure, do you have money? Or, are you hoping that I will pay for the school fees? Why are you so shameless? We’ve already been separated for so many years, and you still want to take advantage of me? Are you not going to support me in my old age?”
Lu Dasong’s face turned red. He pulled the restless Madam Li and hurriedly explained, “Mom, we didn’t mean it that way.”
“It’s best if that’s the case. It’s Yu’s credit that Dahu can go to school. You can’t possibly let your niece support your family, right?”
Lu Dasong immediately shook his head.
Lu Sanzhu, on the other hand, wanted to nod. He and Madam Liang felt nothing to admit that they were shameless. Rather, they almost wanted to continue the old lady’s words and settle the matter.
However, with Shu Yu around, Lu Sanzhu didn’t dare to do so. He could be shameless in front of the old lady, Lu Erbai, and the others, but he didn’t dare to use such a method on Shu Yu.
After all, Shu Yu could even plot against someone like Lord Yu flawlessly. Zhang Shu’s miserable end was also certainly her doing. The problem was that she had done so many things, but she had not left any evidence behind.
Lu Sanzhu had reason to believe that if he didn’t know what was best for him, he would probably be buried before knowing it.
Therefore, after the old lady finished speaking, he laughed awkwardly and said, “How can that be? As an uncle, I should help my niece. I definitely won’t let my niece pay for Dabao’s school fees.”
Everyone looked at him. Wasn’t it rare for him to have such awareness?
The next moment, Lu Sanzhu asked Shu Yu, “Yu, look, your shop is up and running now. Business will definitely be good in the future, but you don’t have enough manpower. How about this, I’ll help you. I don’t need a salary either. Just take care of my food and accommodation. What do you think?”
He was saying that, but it was impossible for him to not get paid. His second brother would not let him work for free, right?
Shu Yu sized up Lu Sanzhu. To be honest, her third uncle was quite capable. At the very least, he knew how to read people’s expressions. However, his little wits were useless in the ready-to-wear clothes shop.
Therefore, she rejected him decisively, “Third Uncle, the shop is indeed short of people now, but it lacks skilled craftsmen.”
Lu Sanzhu was very disappointed. He looked at Madam Liang beside him and was even more disappointed.
Sensing his gaze, Madam Liang’s eyelids twitched and she almost rushed up to hit him.
At this point, no one mentioned Dahu’s studies anymore.
Although the families of Lu Dasong and Lu Sanzhu were very envious, they could only keep the envy to themselves and did not say anything else.
Shu Yu then continued to look at Meng Yunzheng’s gift and took out the writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstone, and copybook. There was a scroll at the bottom.
She took it out and unfolded it, and her gaze was instantly attracted by the painting on the scroll..
