Chapter 380 Two Pieces of Silver

Lu Dasong had already returned from working in the fields and was drinking water in the yard.

Seeing him covered in sweat, Li couldn't help but mutter, "Your two younger brothers are enjoying a life of luxury in the city, while you, the eldest brother, are toiling away in the countryside. They don't even know how to help you out; they have no conscience."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? I've noticed your temper has been getting worse lately."

Li had been arguing with him quite a bit lately, and now another surge of anger was rising within her. "Where am I in a bad temper? Aren't I telling the truth? Look, look, Da Niu still hasn't come back. He must have been dragged along by your two brothers and your mother to help them with chores again. They can't even support their own son, so they just order our Da Niu around."

Before he could finish speaking, Erniu's voice came from outside, "Father, Mother, Big Brother is back."

Li's voice stopped abruptly. She looked up and saw the familiar mule cart belonging to the second son's family parked outside the courtyard.

She couldn't help but purse her lips, and was about to complain when she looked in astonishment at the people who came out of the mule cart.

Lu Dasong was overjoyed and strode forward to greet her, "Fourth Sister, Fourth Brother-in-law, are you... are you alright?"

Yuan Shanchuan got out of the car and nodded to Lu Dasong, saying, "Brother, we're back."

"Good, it's good that you're alright and that you're home." Lu Dasong patted his shoulder, looking relieved.

Lu Sixing then said, "Brother, you've worked so hard these past few days, thank you for your help."

"Why are you and I, siblings, talking about this?" Lu Dasong led the group into the courtyard and sat down. He then turned to Li and said, "Go and make some sugar water. We'll cook something nice for lunch and have Fourth Sister and the others have a meal at home."

Although Li was unhappy, she didn't say anything more at this critical juncture.

As long as she isn't driven to the brink of madness by the shock, she remains outwardly considerate when dealing with outsiders.

He then asked Lu Sixing and the others to sit down, and went inside to make some sugar water.

However, Shu Yu stopped her, saying, "Auntie, you don't need to bother. We're leaving soon."

Lu Dasong was taken aback. "Why don't you sit down for a while?"

Liang said excitedly, "Brother, when the Yuan family elders were released yesterday, they beat and scolded Fourth Sister and the others. We're sending them home today, but we're afraid they'll cause trouble again. Mother thinks that our family needs someone who can make decisions, and she wants you to come with us."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Li immediately objected, "No, why go? The Yuan family isn't easy to get along with..."

Before she could finish speaking, Da Niu quickly pulled her aside.

Li struggled for a moment but couldn't break free, which made her even angrier.

When she got to the kitchen, she finally lost her temper and slapped him across the face. "Lu Daniu, what are you doing? Huh? Don't forget you're the eldest grandson of the Lu family, not a servant. You're so eager to serve them like slaves, aren't you? You and your father are both worthless, aren't you?"

Da Niu's face flushed red. "Mother, don't talk nonsense."

"How could I say anything wrong? Do you even know what's going on in Daxu Village right now? What have those three women from the Yuan family done? Have you forgotten that your father's face was scratched by the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yuan family before?"

Li became increasingly angry as she spoke, and turned to leave the kitchen.

She took a step and was stopped by Da Niu again. Just as she was about to hit him, two gleaming pieces of silver suddenly appeared in front of her.
