Chapter 284 I had a stroke of good luck

Everyone's attention was originally on Lu Sanzhu and his wife, but upon hearing Daya's voice, the old lady immediately turned her head and asked in surprise, "When did Lan Hua arrive?"

She pulled the person over to sit down, then noticed her red and swollen eyes, and frowned slightly, "What happened? Who bullied you?"

Lan Hua quickly shook her head; she didn't intend to say anything.

As soon as Lu Sanzhu saw the orchid, he immediately remembered that he had found a job and hurriedly said, "Mother, wife, I haven't told you yet. I'm planning to live in the county town from now on. I found a job in the peach blossom forest and I'll be working there from now on."

"What?" Even the old lady who cared about orchids was so shocked by the news that she forgot to react.

Her family's lazy, good-for-nothing, and universally disliked third son actually has people asking him to do things?

The old lady immediately looked at Shu Yu, "He hasn't been scammed, has he?"

Shu Yu chuckled and shook her head, saying, "No, not at all."

Lu Sanzhu said with dissatisfaction, "Mother, you're underestimating me."

"What exactly happened? What kind of job did you find? How much is the monthly wage?" Mrs. Liang asked impatiently.

Lu Sanzhu said smugly, "Isn't there a huge lotus pond over at the Peach Blossom Grove? Oh, you guys haven't been there, so you don't know, but it's really big, lots of people go there to play when they have nothing to do. I'm a great swimmer, so I caught the eye of Master Qi, the owner of the Peach Blossom Grove, and he put me to work there. The work is easy and flexible, and I get a tael of silver a month. Master Qi said that when I become the manager, he'll give me a raise."

Da Hu covered his mouth and laughed. Master Qi clearly didn't mean it that way. Uncle San really knows how to make up stories for himself.

Liang's eyes lit up, and the old lady was also quite surprised.

Did the third brother actually get incredibly lucky?

The two were curious and asked again, and Lu Sanzhu proudly boasted about it.

Madam Liang was overjoyed to hear this, but the old lady asked suspiciously, "How did Master Qi know you were such a good swimmer? Did you go swimming in front of him? Yes, your clothes are different from when you went there. Where did you get these clothes?"

Lu Sanzhu choked for a moment.

Since the matter could not be kept secret, Shu Yu briefly explained the whole story.

The old lady then understood why Lan Hua's eyes were so swollen.

She held Lan Hua's hand, furious. "These people are heartless. They only know how to bully ordinary people like us. A Yu did the right thing by kicking them. They should be taught a lesson."

After saying that, she seemed a little worried, "Won't this cause any problems? What if they come back to cause trouble for us?"

Shu Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Grandma, they're all from out of town, they won't dare to cause a scene. If all else fails, we can go to the county government and ask Officer Hu for help, he's a very nice guy."

The old lady nodded, "Yes, yes, we owe him a lot this time. So, it's good to have connections in the government. We should buy two more jugs of wine and send them to him later. We need to maintain this relationship."

“Alright, I will take care of it. Not only the officials, but also Tang Xiucai and his classmate who came to help today. Uncle is still wearing their clothes, so he should thank them when he returns them.”

As she spoke, Shu Yu turned to Liang Shi and said, "Third Aunt, Third Uncle has been soaking in the water for a long time. Let's make him some ginger soup first, so he doesn't catch a cold."

Realizing what was happening, Ms. Liang quickly got up and ran to the kitchen.
