Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was Dahu’s first day of school, and he looked especially excited.
Lu Erbai and Daya, who had followed him through the door, smiled helplessly. They had just returned from the shop.
Today was Dahu’s first day of school, so Daya was responsible for picking him up.
It had been quite some time since he left school, but after they left the Shuxian Academy, they went straight to the shop on Ningshui Street. They waited for Lu Erbai to close the shop before returning together.
It was obvious that Dahu had a lot to say, but before he could say anything,
Shu Yu said to them, “Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle are back. They’re resting inside.’
Lu Erbai was delighted and excited. “They, they’re all back?”
“Yes.
Lu Erbai hurriedly said to Daya, “Quick, help me in to take a look.”
Dahu didn’t have the time to talk anymore. He also ran into the house like an arrow.
Lu Sixing had already taken a shower. She was sitting at the side, refreshing, feeding Yuan Shanchuan medicine. Xiaozhen was sitting on the edge of the bed, hugging her brother and chattering.
She talked about what she had been through in the past two days, what she had eaten, and what she had done. She said that her grandmother had sewn a doll for her and her brother. Her brother liked it, and she liked it too. She would hug it to sleep at night.
As Yuan Shanchuan and his wife listened, they couldn’t help but feel sad.
However, they were also glad that the Lu family took care of them. If not for them, they would not have a family.
When Lu Erbai entered, Yuan Shanchuan had just finished drinking his medicine.
They hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Seeing the changes in each other, they were quite emotional.
Lu Erbai didn’t say much. He only asked him a few questions out of concern before letting him sleep.
The old lady had brought Madame Ruan to cook dinner. They happily prepared a large table of dishes and had a lively reunion dinner.
During dinner, Shu Yu took the time to ask about the house Lu Sanzhu rented.
The old lady said, “l went to take a look. That unreliable Third Brother rented a courtyard with someone else. That courtyard is even smaller than ours.
There are only two rooms and two families. The other family had five people.
The husband and wife, two children, and the mother-in-law all lived in one room.”
This was a poor family. It was fine to live like this. Not to mention five people in a room, no matter how hard it was, no matter how many people there were, they would have to squeeze.
The old lady did not care about these things. To be honest, it was not a bad idea to rent with someone else. The rent was cheaper.
“The problem lies with the man who rented the house. I went to take a look today. That man doesn’t work. His wife and mother are the only ones supporting him at home. Forget it. In any case, Lu Sanzhu used to be lazy. He was probably on par with him. But that man was dishonest. When we went in, his eyes were fixed on Madam Liang. I felt disgusted just looking at him.”
“Don’t you think Madam Liang isn’t that good-looking? I believe Third Aunt, but she is a woman after all. If that man has any evil intentions, she can’t possibly use the method of pulling her hair in the village, right? Third Brother had to go to the Peach Blossom Forest to work. If this continued, something would happen sooner or later.”
Shu Yu nodded. “It’s indeed not convenient to share a room with someone.’
“Isn’t that so?” The old lady said enthusiastically, “l wonder what he saw when he went to look at the house the day before. He took a fancy to such a place.”
“It’s probably close to the peach blossom forest..”
