Lu Dasong had already returned from his work in the fields and was drinking water in the courtyard.
Madame Li looked at his forehead full of sweat and couldn’t help but mutter, “Your two younger brothers are enjoying life in the city. As the eldest brother, you’re working yourself to death in the countryside. They didn’t even know how to help. They were heartless.”
“Why are you talking so much nonsense? I realize that your temper has been getting worse recently.”
Madam Li had been quarreling with him a lot recently, and now her anger was rising again. “How am 1 bad-tempered? Am I not telling the truth? Look, look, Daniu hasn’t returned yet. He must have been dragged by your two brothers and your mother to help them work again. Their son can’t even hold on, and he’s already ordering our family’s Daniu around.”
Before she could finish speaking, Erniu’s voice came from outside, “Father,
Mother, Eldest Brother is back.”
Madame Li’s voice came to an abrupt stop. She raised her head and indeed saw the familiar mule carriage of the Second Prince’s family parked outside the courtyard.
She couldn’t help but curl her lips. Just as she was about to complain, she looked at the people coming out of the mule carriage in astonishment.
Lu Dasong was even more overjoyed. He walked up to them in large strides.
“Fourth Sister, Fourth Brother-in-law, you guys, you guys are alright?”
Yuan Shanchuan got out of the car and nodded at Lu Dasong. “Big Brother, we’re back.”
“Okay, it’s good that you’re fine. It’s good that you’re home.” Lu Dasong patted him on the shoulder with a gratified expression.
Only then did Lu Sixing say, “Big Brother, it’s been hard on you to help out these past few days.”
“You and I are siblings. Why are you saying this?” Lu Dasong led the few of them into the courtyard and sat down. He turned around and called for Madam Li. “Go and make a few cups of sugar water. Make something delicious for lunch. Ask Fourth Sister and the others to stay at home for a meal.” Madam Li was unhappy, but she did not say anything at this juncture.
As long as she wasn’t provoked to the point of losing her rationality, she would still appear very thoughtful when facing outsiders.
She immediately let Si Xing and the others sit while she went into the house to make some sugar water.
However, Shu Yu stopped her. “Eldest Aunt Mother you don’t have to be busy. We’ll leave in a while.’
Lu Dasong was stunned. “Why don’t you sit down for a while?”
Madam Liang said excitedly, “Eldest Brother, when the Yuan Family’s two elders were released yesterday, they beat and scolded Fourth Sister and the others. We’re sending them home today. I’m afraid that the two elders will make a scene again. Mother means that our family needs someone who can make decisions. She wants you to accompany us.”
“Alright, I’ll go with you.”
Madam Li immediately objected. “No, why should we go? Then the Yuan family is not easy to get along with…”
Before she could finish, Daniu quickly pulled her to the side.
Madam Li struggled for a moment but failed to break free. She became even more furious.
When she reached the kitchen, she finally couldn’t take it anymore. She raised her hand and slapped him. “Lu Daniu, what are you doing? What? Don’t forget that you’re the eldest grandson of the Lu family, not a servant of the Lu family. You’re quite attentive to work for them. You and your son are both cheap bones, right?”
Daniu’s face turned red. “Mother, don’t talk nonsense.’
“How am I spouting nonsense? Do you know what’s going on in Daxu Village now? What have those three wives of the Yuan family done? Have you forgotten that your father’s face was scratched by the wife of the eldest son of the Yuan family?”
The more Madam Li spoke, the angrier she became. She turned around and was about to leave the kitchen.
After taking a step, she was pulled back by Daniu. Just as she was about to hit him, two shiny pieces of silver suddenly appeared in front of her..
