Chapter 776: Chapter 776: Took a Fancy to Daya Chapter 776: Chapter 776: Took a Fancy to Daya Father Luo is the head of the escort agency, and Luo Qing is treated as a Young Master too.
Both of them are straightforward and righteous, maintaining a good relationship with the Lu family. However, Mother Luo is a different story; both Lu Erbai and Madam Ruan have had dealings with her.
Possibly because Luo Qing likes Daya, Mother Luo had specifically visited Madam Ruan’s stall to order some food.
As she is the lady of the Huifeng Escort Agency, Madam Ruan even chatted with her for a bit.
Mother Luo knew about the Lu family having a daughter who was exiled; she expressed some dissatisfaction indirectly. She also subtly inquired about Daya’s situation, wondering why she hadn’t married although she was past seventeen.
After all, soon she will be eighteen, and in the Dasu dynasty, eighteen is considered old for an unmarried girl.
Of course, the Lu family wouldn’t tell the Luo Family about Daya’s previous marriage and divorce, as such topics could lead to criticism and trouble for Daya, and there’s no need to spread it around.
This is not Jiangyuan County, and Mother Luo and her family had never met Zhang Shu; they only knew Daya. If they knew about Daya’s divorce, they would only focus on her.
Mother Luo’s probing and her implied disdain upset Madam Ruan. Despite being generally timid, she deeply loved her children. Daya had already suffered so much; having such a mother-in-law would mean living a continued life of bitterness.
She outright frowned and asked Mother Luo to leave. Since then, when Luo Qing visited the stall to see Daya, he was blocked by Madam Ruan.
Lu Erbai said, “Moreover, Daya doesn’t even like Luo Qing.”
Luo Qing is two years younger than Daya; in her eyes, he is just a little brother.
After hearing this, Shu Yu nodded in agreement, “I also think Luo Qing isn’t suitable for my sister.”
“Your sister’s marriage is not urgent anyway. She just divorced recently, and although she seems okay, we all know how deeply the Zhang family hurt her. Discussing marriage now would make her overthink.”
Having experienced so much, Lu Erbai now holds quite open-minded views.
Although both of his daughters have reached marriageable age, he is not anxious at all, and he even feels it’s okay for them not to marry if they don’t find the right matches.
Compared to his children’s safety, other matters are trivial.
The two talked as they walked home. Madam Ruan and Daya had gone to their stall, and Dahu and Sanya were playing energetically in the alley with other children in their toy cars.
The old lady was sitting by the door, sewing and cautioning the children, “Be careful, don’t fall, don’t get all sweaty. The wind will make you catch a cold.”
Shu Yu shook his head as he watched and was about to enter the house when he saw the Meng family opening their door.
Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi came out and were walking towards him.
They obviously came to see him. Shu Yu nodded at them, then went into the yard first.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi came in.
They had come to say goodbye, “We carefully read the letter last night and didn’t find anything definitive, so we plan to go to Hetai Prefecture in person.”
Shu Yu had expected this, “When will you return?”
“Before the New Year.”
There are still about twenty days until the New Year.
“Then take care on your journey,” Shu Yu advised, then asked, “When will you leave?”
So soon? Shu Yu frowned; she couldn’t prepare anything for them in such a short time.
But before she could, Meng Yunzheng had prepared a box for her.
