Chapter 154 It's My Duty
Niuniu didn't show any displeasure on her face. She smiled and said, "Why not? Aunt Liu has done so much, she deserves this money."
When Old Lady Gu heard this, she knew that she had been a villain for nothing. After asking clearly, she completely gave up the idea of interfering in the matter and said, "Forget it, forget it. I won't care anymore."
She ran to the chicken coop in the yard and grabbed a yellow hen that was taking a walk.
As soon as the hen fell into her hands, a still warm egg fell out.
"Never mind, just change one, you're lucky!"
When Mrs. Gu saw that the hen was still laying eggs, she grabbed another one while cursing.
She waited a while, but the hen couldn't lay an egg after holding it in for a long time.
"You useless thing, you can't even lay eggs. Who else should I kill if not you?" Old Mrs. Gu cursed.
The hen had just broken its neck when there was a knock on the door of the Gu family's house.
Two capable middle-aged maids came to the Sun family. It was Sun Jiaxing who was afraid that Niuniu would forget things, so he sent someone to pick her up and let her live in the Sun family for a while.
"Master Gu, my master said that both families will go to Beijing next month. Now that we have taken the eldest daughter over, we will meet them on the way to Beijing." The maid who called herself Nanny Wang said respectfully.
Although Gu Mingda was not very willing, he knew that the decision on this matter was up to Niu Niu, so he looked at Niu Niu with expectation.
Niuniu raised her head and said, "This is something that Uncle Sun and I have discussed. But we have to wait. I still have to say goodbye to my friends."
Before leaving, Nanny Wang was repeatedly told by Sun Jiaxing and his wife to take the person over. Now that Niuniu had given her consent, she was naturally overjoyed and dared not interfere any further.
Niu Niu was first taken to Luo's house by Gu Mingda.
Luo Zhang originally thought that after Niu Niu came back from Jiangzhou Prefecture, she would continue to study hard in the Luo family, but he didn't expect that the time of separation would come so soon.
"Can't you go to the Sun family after some time? We'll have to go to Beijing sooner or later anyway, so why not wait for us to set off and then go to Beijing together?" Luo Zhang said, pulling Niu Niu.
Niuniu shook her head: "Daddy said that a man cannot stand without faith. I promised Daddy Sun, and I can't go back on my word."
Luo Zhang sighed and said, "During this period of time when you were not here, I found it boring to read alone."
Fang Yuan, who was standing by, heard this, touched the back of his head, and said innocently, "A Zhang, I've been reading with you all the time, too."
After Luo Zhang glanced at Fang Yuan, he casually handed a book to Fang Yuan and pointed to a word on it and asked, "What is this word?"
Fang Yuan was visibly embarrassed, and even quietly took a step back.
Niuniu came forward to take a look and said, "This is the word 'stupid'."
Even though Fang Yuan was a bit slow, he realized what Niuniu said belatedly and looked at Luo Zhang: "Ah Zhang, you have so many ways to curse people now."
Luo Zhang just felt wronged. He just randomly picked out the characters because he saw that they had many strokes, so he used them to test Fang Yuan.
"But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if I'm a little stupid. As long as A Zhang is smart, I will listen to A Zhang in everything. I guarantee that I won't make any mistakes." Fang Yuan said naively.
Luo Zhang glared at Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan didn't think anything of it. He touched the back of his head and continued to look at Luo Zhang and Niu Niu stupidly.
Niu Niu took out two more gifts, which were two necklaces.
"My mother taught me how to make this silk net. It's not very good. If you don't like it, you can just give it away." Niu Niu said a little embarrassedly.
She was young, and her hands and feet were not very flexible, so the webs she made were inevitably not neat enough.
Luo Zhang liked the slightly rough bracelet very much and immediately replaced the bracelet on the jade pendant around his waist with the one made by Niu Niu.
"It's very beautiful. This is the first time someone gave me a necklace." Luo Zhang said with a smile.
Fang Yuan also carefully put away the gift, but he may have already activated his sabotage skill, and said foolishly: "A Zhang, wasn't your original necklace given by someone? It was made for you by Sister Haitang."
Haitang is one of Luo Zhang's maids.
Luo Zhang was annoyed when he heard this and said, "It is the maid's duty to make the silk cords, but Niuniu giving the silk cords is a gift, how can they be the same?"
Fang Yuan shook his head: "My maid didn't make me a silk scarf."
Luo Zhang said casually: "Why don't you just tell them?"
Fang Yuan scratched the back of his head out of habit and said, "I didn't fight even though I told you."
Luo Zhang was stunned when he heard this. He was still too young to understand the question for a moment: "Why? Aren't maids supposed to do whatever their masters tell them to do? She took the master's money, so why wouldn't she do such a small thing?"
Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, Ah Zhang, you just need to know that Sister Haitang is really good to you."
Luo Zhang was a person who always liked to argue with others. He said, "This maidservant is disobedient. I will send her away later."
The one who was treated coldly was Fang Yuan, and the one who was soft-hearted was also Fang Yuan. He stopped Luo Zhang and said, "It's just a small matter. There's no need to make a fuss about it."
"You are also the legitimate young master of our Luo family. How can you be treated so coldly?" Luo Zhang said.
Fang Yuan said blankly: "My last name is Fang..."
Luo Zhang was almost pissed off by this idiot.
He turned to look at Niuniu and asked, "Do you think I am right or he is right? That maidservant was disobedient, so are you going to drive her away? You took my Luo family's money but didn't take my family members seriously. How can this be possible in the world?"
Niu Niu didn't quite understand what was going on in the deep courtyard and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fang Yuan, on the other hand, said, "Ah Zhang, it's not like you have to do the work just because you've been paid. If you don't do the work, you have to be kicked out."
A question mark slowly appeared above Luo Zhang's head. He felt that there was something wrong with Fang Yuan's brain.
Fang Yuan continued, "Mr. Gu also gave Mr. Zhang a lot of extra money, but he still ignored Niuniu."
Luo Zhang previously knew that Niu Niu had privately consulted Mr. Zhang about some issues, but Mr. Zhang said that he liked quietness and ignored Niu Niu.
He didn't know that there was an inside story about Gu Mingda giving him money, and he was immediately furious.
"How can Mr. Zhang be like this? He took the money and yet he is so disrespectful to me?" Luo Zhang was so furious.
Niu Niu was also stunned. When she studied with Mr. Zhang, she always felt like she was living under someone else's roof and like she was taking classes for free. However, she didn't expect that her father had already paid the tuition in private.
"Brother Fang Yuan, is everything you said true?" Niu Niu asked.
Fang Yuan nodded and said, "One day I couldn't sleep at noon, and I saw Mr. Gu coming to give Mr. Zhang some money. He personally asked Mr. Zhang to take care of the three children, and asked Mr. Zhang not to care about the difference between men and women, and to teach his daughters well."
