Madam Li was furious. Fortunately, Madam Liang did not say that her job was to help the old lady sew doll covers. Otherwise, Madam Li would probably explode on the spot and rush to the county. She would blame the old lady for being biased and not caring about her eldest son’s household.
Lu Sanzhu and her wife then shamelessly said that they didn’t have time to prepare dinner and freeloaded on Lu Dasong.
Lu Dasong didn’t say anything. Lanhua was in trouble today and had only gotten out of it thanks to his third brother’s help.
Lu Erbai and his family in the county didn’t know about Lu Sanzhu’s antics in Shangshi Village.
After they finished dinner, they discussed the matter of preparing Dahu’s school fees and a gift for Dahu’s teacher.
Even though Lu Sanzhu finding a job was a joyous occasion, what was more important to them was the outcome of Dahu’s meeting with Master Wen.
After learning that Master Wen was very satisfied, Lu Erbai was overjoyed. He patted Dahu’s shoulder and said, “Listen to your teacher, study hard, and get along well with your classmates. If you encounter something you don’t understand, ask more questions, understand?”
“Yes, I know,” Dahu nodded heavily.
The other members of the Lu family were also relieved. Madam Ruan turned her head away and quietly wiped her tears.
She had never thought that her son would one day be able to sit in school and learn to read and write with the teacher.
She had never thought that her family would have such a peaceful life.
Daya sat beside her and quietly held her hand.
The latter turned her head and they exchanged glances. Then, the two of them suddenly laughed.
The Lu family members were a little worried about Dahu, who was about to enter school. After all, it was their first time experiencing such a thing, so they couldn’t help but each give quite a few reminders.
Even Sanya said to Dahu in a very melancholic manner, “I won’t be able to play with you in the future. Brother, you have to learn to take care of yourself. You have to concentrate when you study. Don’t miss me too much… And Maneki, okay?”
Dahu tugged at her braids, “You take care of yourself.”
Among the people in the room, only Shu Yu did not say anything.
When everyone was more or less done, she turned to Lu Erbai and said, “Father, our appointment with Master Wen is three days from now. It just so happens that you’ll be going to Doctor Xu’s place for a follow-up visit tomorrow to remove the plaster. When the time comes, you can bring Dahu to Shuxian Academy to perform the apprenticeship ceremony.”
Lu Erbai immediately nodded, “Alright.”
His legs were almost healed, and the wooden planks that were used to hold his leg in place could be removed. Although he could not entirely use the leg to walk yet, he was slowly recovering.
This was another joyous occasion for the Lu family.
The next day, when Lu Sanzhu and his wife came over, the old lady ordered Lu Sanzhu to drive the mule carriage and send Lu Erbai to Doctor Xu’s place to remove the plaster, with Daya accompanying her father.
At this time, Shu Yu held the jade token and appeared at the gates of the Ding residence alone.
She had been here once, and she had a token from Ding Yuehua, so she was let in not long after.
Not long after Shu Yu entered the door, the three young masters who had a conflict with her in the peach blossom forest yesterday also arrived at the Ding family.
The three of them had ugly expressions on their faces, and they looked a little haggard.
They had suffered such humiliation yesterday and had planned to go back and change their clothes before coming to visit the young master of the Ding family, wanting to ask him to teach the Lu family a lesson.
Unexpectedly, just when they were about to take a bath, they found that the jade token to enter the black market was missing.
How could this be? Without the item, not only would their purpose for this trip be ruined, but they would also be punished when they returned..
