Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Yu stood at the door and rubbed her nose. It seemed that the fact that Lu Sanzhu had found a job in the city had indeed agitated Madam Li.
It had been two days, and she was still throwing a tantrum.
The situation inside didn’t seem too good. Shu Yu was hesitating whether to enter at this time.
Who knew that after Lanhua said that, she would rush out and pull open the door?
They faced each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. Shu Yu coughed lightly and raised her hand. “You’re going out?”
Lanhua wiped the tears off her face, shook her head, and moved half of her body to let her in.
In the past, if she cried and shouted in front of Shu Yu, she might have felt embarra.s.sed. Now, it didn’t matter. The last time she cried in front of her, she cried even more fiercely.
She sniffled and asked in a nasal voice, “Sister Yu, why are you here?”
When Madam Li heard the commotion, she raised her head and looked over. She immediately had a strange expression on her face, followed by a strange tone. “Yo, Yu is here? What brings you here so early in the morning?”
Shu Yu felt that Madam Li could maintain the peace on the surface in the past and protect her face a little. Probably because she was going through menopause, she couldn’t suppress her irritable emotions anymore. She even spoke straightforwardly.
Shu Yu originally wanted to ask about the situation, but looking at the state of her uncle’s house, it did not seem like anything had happened.
But she still asked Lanhua, “Where’s Eldest Uncle and the others?”
Before Lanhua could return, Madam Li stood up and wiped her hands on her ap.r.o.n. She said, “Your Eldest Uncle and the others are all busy in the fields.
Your Eldest Uncle has a life of toil. He’s not as lucky as your Father and Third Uncle. Even work is delivered to them easily. You all have moved to the county town. Only your uncle is working hard to take care of the fields and houses in this village. He’s already so old, yet…”
“Mother.” Lanhua couldn’t take it anymore.
Why should she say these words to Sister Yu? It wasn’t Yu who found Third Uncle’s job. It was Old Lord Qi who saw Third Uncle’s ability in swimming, so he hired him to work.
Niadam Li glared at Lanhua and snorted lightly before turning around and entering the house.
She felt unbalanced and uncomfortable. Lu Shuyu returned and helped the second son’s family to live a better life. She couldn’t say anything about this. After all, they were her parents and brothers. At most, she would be jealous.
But what right did Lu Sanzhu have? he and his wife were both lazy. They were hooligans who did not mind taking advantage of others, but they thought of him when they had good things to do.
Madam Li had heard everything from Lanhua. This girl from Second Brother’s family had helped Third Brother get ten taels (monetary) of silver as compensation from those young sirs. Seven taels (monetary) of silver fell into the hands of the Third Brother and his wife.
That was seven taels (monetary). Their family worked hard for an entire year, but they could not save up half of the silver. Just like that, Third Brother got it for nothing.
To think that their Daniu had dug out this wretched girl’s heart and lungs.
Wasn’t it good for Daniu to swim? He did things carefully and appropriately. Why didn’t the second child think of leaving that job to him?
Why did the compensation and work have to be taken by Third Brother? The heavens were unfair.
Lanhua stood in the courtyard and smiled at Shu Yu in embarra.s.sment. “Sister Yu, come in and sit first. I’ll get you a gla.s.s of water. “My father and the others have gone to the fields. The Third Uncle still has two acres of land to rent out. Today, someone came to visit and said that he wanted to take a look. He should be back soon..
