Chapter 309: Shameless
The next day, at An Mu Village.
Lu Sheng initially only prepared two gifts. However, when she heard from Lu Ran yesterday that He Qin’s fiancée was in An Mu Village, she prepared another gift.
Seeing their arrival, Mdm Zhao only ate two mouthfuls before running out to welcome them.
“Grandma.”
Only Lu Sheng and Lu Ran came this time.
Lu Ran shouted after alighting from the carriage.
“Sigh!”
Mdm Zhao replied, “Where’s Ah Sheng?”
“Grandma, I’m here!”
Lu Sheng lifted the curtain and stuck her head out to smile at Mdm Zhao.
“Have you all eaten? Grandma just finished cooking. Let’s eat together.”
“I came after eating.”
Lu Ran got Lu Sheng to push the items on the carriage over. Then, he placed them in the hall.
When Mdm Zhao saw those items, she frowned and said, “It’s enough that you’re here. Why did you bring things over?”
Now, with He Qin’s help at Lu Sheng’s restaurant, he earned thirty taels a month. Their family was wealthier.
Lu Sheng jumped off the carriage and held her arm. She smiled and said, “These are dried fruits and pastries. They were given by others, but we couldn’t finish them, so we brought some for you and Granny.”
“Why did you send these items here?”
Mdm Zhao disagreed. “Since it’s food, they should be kept for you. Your uncle and I don’t like to eat these. I was still planning for your uncle to buy them for you.”
Unlike the mud hut she saw before, the He family had already built a brick house.
There was one living room and five other rooms. It looked quite big.
Lu Sheng sized her up and pulled Mdm Zhao aside. She asked softly, “Grandma, which family did Zhang Xiaohua marry into?”
When Mdm Zhao heard her mention Zhang Xiaohua, she immediately laughed coldly. “She got married to a fool in Zheng Village. Now, she’s making a fuss about getting a divorce. She came back a while ago and saw us building a new house. She even came over to ask your uncle to wait for her to get a divorce. How shameless.”
“What?”
Lu Sheng frowned. “How dare she make Uncle wait for her?”
“Yes!”
Mdm Zhao snorted coldly. “Not only her, but even her brother and sister-in-law came over to our house every now and then. They even address your uncle as their brother. However, your uncle ignored them.”
“Uncle did the right thing.”
Towards such shameless people, the more reasonable they were, the more they would push their luck.
Lu Sheng snorted coldly. “Who asked them to be greedy and vain? It’s too late to regret now!”
Lu Ran walked out of his room and asked Mdm Zhao, “Grandma, why didn’t I see Uncle?”
“The snow has overwhelmed the Duan family’s pigpen. Your uncle should be helping the Duan family fix it now.”
As Mdm Zhao spoke, she walked into the kitchen. “I have to finish my meal first. Otherwise, it’ll turn cold soon. Come in and get some warmth. It’s cold outside.”
Lu Sheng stood at the kitchen door and said, “Grandma, go ahead and eat. Brother and I want to walk around the village and send some New Year gifts to Granny.”
Mdm Zhao took out her chopsticks and nodded with a smile. “Go ahead. Remember to come back early.”
The duo nodded slightly.
Lu Ran carried the New Year gift and followed Lu Sheng out of the courtyard.
When he came previously, he could still see the fields. Now, all he could see was white snow.
“He Lai, quickly sweep away the snow in the courtyard. All you know is to sleep. Were you a pig in your previous life?”
The duo had just reached He Hu’s house when they heard Mdm Xu’s loud voice.
Lu Sheng chuckled. “Uncle is being scolded by Granny again.”
Lu Ran smiled faintly.
“Xiao Dong, go to the woodshed and get some wood for me.”
“Got it.”
When the duo reached the entrance of the courtyard, they heard Mdm Xu’s and He Dong’s conversation.
