Sanya didn’t seem to understand, while Dahu perked up his ears and pretended to listen.
Shu Yu could tell at a glance that this little fellow was probably imitating the way adults spoke and did things because he was the only boy in the Lu family.
He was obviously very curious, but he never said anything and always pretended to be very calm. He didn’t know how to express his joy either, so he just stood by the side silently. This scene made her feel somewhat sad for the boy.
Sanya, on the other hand, was more dependent on her and had become familiar with her by now. She leaned close and asked, “Then, second sister, where is the handsome man you said?”
“I don’t know,” Shu Yu shook his head. She had only seen that person twice a year ago, and she only knew that his surname was Meng.
Back at Dongqing Temple when she and Lu Erbai had been seriously injured, they had been treated by a passing-by traveling doctor.
The traveling doctor’s master was this Young Master Meng who had a pleasant voice.
Young Master Meng was just passing by while she was recuperating from her injuries. They had met by chance and had not seen each other since.
Sanya wanted to ask more questions, but Madam Ruan was already waving her hand and said, “The donkey cart is here. Get on quickly. Let’s go.”
The few of them stopped talking.
There were already two people on the donkey cart. With the addition of the four of them, it became much more crowded in an instant.
Fortunately, Dahu and Sanya were frail children, so it was not a problem to put them on their legs.
The donkey cart rushed all the way to the county. It picked up two more people on the way and could no longer fit more.
Most of the villagers went to the county market on foot. After all, they were reluctant to pay coins for each ride.
Madam Ruan’s heart ached, but she knew that this spending was inevitable.
The few of them sat on the swaying donkey cart. Just as Sanya almost fell asleep in Shu Yu’s arms, the donkey cart finally stopped.
Shu Yu carried Sanya down and held Dahu’s hand. The two children looked up at the tall city wall in front of them and exclaimed in surprise, “So this is the county.”
Madam Ruan paused for a second and felt a little sad. That’s right, the family’s conditions were not good, so she had never brought her two children to the county before.
Shu Yu held one of them in each hand, “Let’s go. We’ll go to the clinic first.”
The group of four followed the bustling crowd and entered the city gate. At this time, Lu Sanzhu was running back home in a hurry, sweating profusely.
Madam Liang was shocked by his anxious appearance and couldn’t help but scold him, “What’s wrong? Why are you running so fast? Is there a dog chasing you?”
Lu Sanzhu didn’t care about her bad attitude. He scooped some water from the water jar and gulped it down, “Something has happened. Something big has happened.”
“What’s the matter? where did you go so early in the morning?”
“Let me tell you, Erya is really amazing. She really hit the nail on the head. She’s really amazing,” Lu Sanzhu sighed with emotion as he walked out. Madam Liang pulled him back, “Explain clearly. What exactly is going on?” “Geez, I can’t explain it in a short time. I have to go find Erya first.”
He was about to leave again, but Madam Liang quickly said, “Erya is not around. Second sister-in-law and her family have all gone to the county.”
“They went to the county?” Lu Sanzhu frowned and sat back down. He fanned himself with a fan as he said, “I’ll wait for them to come back then.’
Then, he suddenly stood up after sitting for a while, “This can’t do, I can’t wait.”
He threw his fan aside and said to Madam Liang, “You wait at home. I’ll go to the county to find Erya. Let me tell you, if I tell her such an important piece of information, I might even get some benefits..”
