“Third Aunt, I think it’s best to find Fourth Aunt’s house closest to yours. This way, you and Third Uncle can go to her house for dinner in the future.”
Shu Yu spoke as if it was a matter of fact. Madam Liang’s expression froze when she heard this.
Just as she was about to deny it, Shu Yu continued, “Actually, I think it’s quite good this way. You can focus on making toy covers and don’t have to think about buying vegetables and cooking every day. Then, every month, You’ll give a portion of your food expenses to Fourth Aunt. Fourth Aunt can also earn a little. It’s good for you, it’s good for her, it’s good for everyone, don’t you think so?”
The old lady came out and clapped her hands when she heard this. “I think it’s okay.”
Madam Liang was speechless. “I don’t think so”.
Their family was greedy. Even if they didn’t have much money, they would still make some meat and vegetables from time to time.
If they ate with their sister-in-law and had to pay, wouldn’t they suffer a loss?
If they didn’t pay enough, they wouldn’t be able to eat any meat since their sister-in-law only cooked a few dishes. If they gave too much, they would feel sorry for themselves, and their sister-in-law’s family would also benefit from it.
Madam Liang laughed dryly. “Look at what Yu said. Although my culinary skills aren’t that great, my Sanzhu likes my cooking. We women don’t have any pursuits. It’s already satisfying enough that men like to eat the food we cook, right? Besides, I couldn’t just sit here and make toy covers all day. I had to move around occasionally and do something else, right?”
The old lady glanced at her from the corner of her eyes. “Do you have such awareness? Alright then. If you’re not willing, we won’t force you. However, your fourth sister’s family is not having it easy either. If you go to her house for dinner in the future, remember to make up for the food. Otherwise, let your fourth sister make this doll cover.”
The old lady also let Lu Sixing make a doll cover, but her family was still young, so even if she made it, she could not make much. However, it was fine if it was less. No matter what, it could at least supplement the family’s expenses. Living in the county was not easy at all.
Madam Liang did not dare to say anything else. That was why people with weaknesses were being strangled and could not take advantage of them as they pleased.
Fortunately, she was still very active in helping Lu Sixing find a house.
She hadn’t been here for long, but she was quite familiar with the situation here. In a short while, she had listed three or four more suitable courtyards.
It didn’t have to be very big. The rent was about the same as theirs anyway.
In the end, he rented a small courtyard about five or six houses away from Lu Laosan’s house.
The procedures for renting the house were handled very quickly. After a while, the old lady asked about Dabao’s enrollment.
Mrs. Liang was happy when she mentioned this. “Mr. Yu said that our Dabao is very smart, but he’s restless and can’t sit still. If he could sit still, he would be a candidate for the imperial examination in the future.”
The old lady did not believe it. If he could not calm down, what was the use of being smart?
However, she was still very gratified to know that Dabao was quite obedient in the private school and that there were no problems.
However, just as this thought fell, a familiar wail suddenly came from outside the door.
Immediately after, the courtyard door was slammed open with a bang. Dabao ran in with tears all over his face. He rushed in front of Madam Liang and stomped his feet as he shouted, “I don’t want to study anymore. I don’t want to study anymore. Master beat me again. It’s been three days in a row. He’s been beating me up. Look at my hand, it’s already turned into a pig’s knuckles. He wants to kill me.”
Everyone present was speechless.
