Daniu frowned. Just how serious was the matter to make Third Aunt forget about her son?
There was also the basket on Third Aunt’s back. She had gotten into the ox cart, but she had forgotten to take it off and put it on the cart.
Daniu began to feel uneasy.
Mrs. Liang asked him to continue driving. When he was almost beside Dabao, she quickly waved at him.”Dabao, Dabao, let’s go back.”
Dabao was unhappy. He was in the middle of talking and did not want to leave.
“Mother, we just arrived. Why are we leaving?”
Mrs. Liang did not waste any time and directly threatened, “If you don’t leave, you’ll have to walk back on your own later. There’s still an ox cart. Don’t be ungrateful.”
Dabao was speechless.
He snorted coldly. “Then I’ll wait for Brother Daniu to come back and ask him to send me off again.”
Madam Liang said, “If you don’t leave now, I’m going to tell everyone that the teacher smacks you in the palm every day.”
Dabao’s eyes widened. You’ve already said it!
Dabao was furious, especially when he saw the children around him looking at him suspiciously. He was about to cry.
It seemed that there was no effect if he continued to brag. Dabao stomped his feet indignantly and quickly ran towards the ox cart. He nimbly climbed onto the cart’s plank.
“Mother, how could you do this?”
Madam Liang wasn’t in the mood to argue with him at this moment. She only said perfunctorily, “Alright, alright. When you get back from the Elementary Scholar examination next time, those people will revolve around you.”
After saying this, she did not say anything else.
Dabao grumbled a few words. Seeing that she did not reply to him, he suddenly felt bored, so he simply went forward to talk to Daniu.
Daniu turned his head and looked at Madam Liang. The latter was deep in thought, her brows almost forming a knot.
Mrs. Liang’s mind was in a mess, and she didn’t know if Mrs. Tang was telling the truth or lying. But now, she was more inclined to believe Mrs. Tang’s words.
Because she knew that Shu Yu was indeed not in Jiangyuan County. She had left a few days ago.
Moreover, before she left, she especially came to look for them and asked them to take good care of the old lady, work hard, and not slack off.
Previously, she thought that Shu Yu was going on a long trip and wouldn’t be back in a short time, so she gave such an explanation.
Now that he thought about it carefully, it was like giving her last words.
Madam Liang was flustered. She had to hurry back and find Lu Sanzhu. She had no idea what to do about this matter.
The ox cart had unknowingly arrived at the city gate. Daniu finally turned around and asked, “Third Aunt, should I send you home directly?”
Madam Liang nodded, then shook her head after ordering. “No, I’m not going back. I’ll go to Liufang Alley and look for your grandmother.”
The south of the city was too far away, and Lu Sanzhu was still at work. She couldn’t wait to go to such a faraway place.
Now, she trusted the old lady even more. She even felt that Shu Yu might have said something to the old lady before he left. Perhaps the old lady could give her an accurate answer.
Daniu nodded and drove the ox cart straight to Liufang Alley.
When the car passed by the Meng family’s gate, Daniu saw that the gate was locked. Daniu thought, “Did the young master of the Meng family go out to look for a doctor again?”
Not long after, the ox cart stopped at the entrance of Liufang Alley.
Madam Liang couldn’t care less about Daniu or Dabao. She jumped down from the car and was very agile.
The moment she came down, she started knocking on the door. “Mother, Mother, open the door quickly.”
The old lady in the room rolled her eyes when she heard the familiar voice of Madam Liang.
