Chapter 374 Another Surprise

Yuan Shanchuan's eyes welled up slightly. When he returned, the old lady slapped him twice, but he was already filled with remorse. However, his parents seemed to want to beat him to death.

He took a deep breath, smiled at the old lady, and said, "I'm fine. The doctor said that as long as I rest for two days, I'll be lively and energetic again."

"That's good, that's good." The old lady was relieved and looked at Lu Sixing beside her.

Although I only saw her a couple of days ago, seeing her again now, I still feel that she has lost weight.

The family had prepared mugwort, but because Yuan Shanchuan wasn't feeling well, the old lady took it, quickly brushed it on them, and then had them step over the brazier before going inside.

She stood at the door and said, "You should rest well. It's getting late. Stay here tonight and we'll have something nice to eat tonight as a celebration of your safe return."

"Thank you, Mother-in-law."

The old lady went out, and Madam Ruan walked to Lu Sixing's side and patted her, "Fourth Sister, you rest here for a while. The water will boil soon, so go take a bath. You must not have rested well these past few days. Now that you're home, take good care of yourself."

"Second sister-in-law, thank you for your trouble."

"What trouble? Seeing that you're all alright, your second brother and I are relieved." With that, Madam Ruan handed Quan Quan to her. "He just finished drinking goat milk and is feeling quite excited. You all have a good chat, I'll go to the kitchen to help my mother."

After Ruan finished speaking, she left. Lu Sixing held her son in her arms, looked down at the little guy's happy dancing, and felt extremely satisfied.

She beckoned Xiao Zhen over, and the family of four huddled together, laughing in unison.

Now, the storm has finally passed and the sun is shining.

Only a few of them remained in the house. Shu Yu went to the kitchen and told the old lady the general situation, knowing what she should and shouldn't say.

The old lady knew it was all over and breathed a huge sigh of relief.

She then shooed Shu Yu out, saying, "Alright, you should go and rest for a while. You've been busy all day, and look how tired you look."

No, not really.

Shu Yu touched her face and thought the old lady was exaggerating.

However, she still left the kitchen and saw Da Niu helping to tidy up the fire pit and mugwort in the yard. Thinking of the fifty taels of silver Xiang Weinan had given her, her eyes lit up with a smile.

She strode over to Da Niu's side. "Brother Da Niu, take a rest for a bit. I have something to tell you."

Da Niu put the brazier aside and was about to go chop firewood.

He's a restless person, always looking for opportunities, and he'll go wherever he sees he's needed.

It was already quite late, and by the time they brought Fourth Aunt and the others back, the city gates were closed, so Da Niu couldn't leave. They decided to stay in the county town for the night.

Fortunately, Uncle San has now rented a house, and the old lady asked him to stay at Uncle San's house for one night later.

Lu Sanzhu was always the type to freeload and take advantage of others, so this was the first time someone had ever let him stay at their place, which was quite rare.

Seeing Shu Yu approach, Da Niu stopped what he was doing and asked her, "What's up? Tell me."

Shu Yu pulled him to a corner of the courtyard and lowered her voice to say, "Didn't you complain about the black market room fee of thirty taels of silver? Master Xiang has already given me that silver."

Da Niu was overjoyed, "Really? Master Xiang gave it to you?"

"Yes, not only did they give us thirty taels, but there was another surprise as well," Shu Yu said with a smile.
