Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the evening, Lu Erbai and Lu Sanzhu returned. Naturally, they heard about Lu Sixing.
It was Lu Sanzhu’s first day at work, and he had wanted to complain about how tired, hungry, and sore his feet were the moment she returned. He wanted to borrow his second brother’s mule carriage so that he wouldn’t have to walk to the peach blossom forest tomorrow.
Who knew that something so serious would happen at home? He had lost all his thoughts of pretending to be pitiful.
Lu Erbai pounded the table angrily. He was very upset that he couldn’t find
Yuan Shanchuan in time.
The old lady sighed. “Alright, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. This matter will be resolved one day. I’m tired after a busy day. I’ll go make some food and rest early after eating.”
Only then did everyone start moving. Lu Dasong and Daniu had already returned before the city gates closed.
After dinner, the old lady remembered that it was Lu Sanzhu’s first day at work. She asked with concern, “How are you feeling today?”
“l don’t have anything to do today.” Lu Sanzhu said, “The steward told me about the things I needed to do. He took me around the Peach Blossom Forest and got to know the workers who worked with me. After that, I had to remember some rules. There were too many rules and regulations. I remember that my head hurt. The steward had said that I still had to remember tomorrow. There was no end to it.’
For a slacker who didn’t do anything, it was too difficult for him to remember these things.
However, the old lady reached out and patted him. “Since he’s giving you this opportunity, you should take it. Don’t be ungrateful. If you don’t want to do it, give it up. Many people want to do it.”
Lu Sanzhu knew that his Mother was in a bad mood today, so he didn’t dare to provoke her. He lowered his head and said softly, “l didn’t say I wasn’t going to do it. I was just complaining.”
“It’s fine if you complain in front of us, but shut up if you shouldn’t say anything outside. If you have work to do, do it well. Don’t do anything illegal, understand?”
The old lady was also shocked by Yuan Shanchuan’s matter. This person had made a mistake, and it had implicated his wife and children.
It was only because their family had Yu. Otherwise, who knew what the consequences would be?
Fortunately, Lord Xiang was a good official. If he had met that muddle-headed dog official from before, he would probably not even let the two children off.
Lu Sanzhu immediately nodded. “l promise to do my job well.”
The old lady said a few more words to him. Among her children, the most worrying one was this third child.
Lu Sanzhu almost couldn’t take it. In the past, when his Mother nagged him, he would turn around and run away the moment she opened her mouth. But now…He didn’t dare.
When the old lady finally finished speaking, Lu Sanzhu hurriedly brought his wife and children to Yiren Pavilion to sleep.
After their family left, the Lu family finally quieted down.
Madame Ruan brought Sanya and Xiaozhen to wash up and let them rest early.
The Lu family originally had three rooms. Lu Erbai and his wife and the twins stayed in the largest room, the east wing. the old lady and Daya stayed in the
slightly smaller room, the west wing. Shu Yu stayed alone in the small room that was originally used as a study.
Now that there were two more children at home, Daya and Shu Yu had no experience in taking care of children.
Quanquan was so small that she could only give it to Madam Ruan.
Xiaozhen was in a state of fear for another day. the old lady was worried and brought her to sleep.
The east wing was left for the four of them to stay in. Lu Erbai and Dahu stayed in the study, while Daya, Sanya, and Shu Yu stayed in the west wing..
