Chapter 289 The Naive Orchid
Lu Sanzhu quickly ran out, "I'm leaving right now, I'm leaving right now."
He breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled the mule cart out the door.
Liang and Lan Hua followed, and after getting into the carriage, they headed straight for the city gate.
The three managed to get out of the city gate just fifteen minutes before it closed.
Lu Sanzhu was clearly in a good mood, and so was Liang Shi. Only Lan Hua looked wilted and leaned listlessly against the carriage wall.
Finally, Madam Liang had a change of heart and comforted her, saying, "Alright, Lan Hua, don't think too much about it. We'll take you to your elder brother's house in a bit and personally explain the situation to your mother. She won't blame you."
Lu Sanzhu, who was rushing to catch the carriage, nodded and said, "Yes, didn't Ayu say that you are the victim and the perpetrators are those three young masters? If your mother doesn't understand, then let your father beat her."
Orchid, "..." Uncle and Aunt are as unreliable as ever.
She still appreciated their kindness, and Lan Hua forced a smile, "Thank you, Third Uncle and Third Aunt."
"Oh, no need to thank me." Madam Liang waved her hand, then said to Lu Sanzhu, "Honey, I just told you not to tell anyone about Lan Hua being stopped by those young masters. Just tell your elder brother and sister-in-law. As for your job, just say that Master Qi happened to take a liking to your swimming skills. Anyway, what happened in the peach blossom forest won't reach our village, so don't cause trouble for Lan Hua."
"I know, I know, I know what I'm doing." Lu Sanzhu was too ashamed to talk about the shameful thing that happened when he tried to save his niece but ended up trapped in the water instead.
As for Tang Xiucai, a fellow villager, he wasn't the type to talk much either.
Lanhua was even more moved. She felt that she hadn't had much contact with her third uncle and aunt before, and that her mother had always spoken ill of them, so she had misunderstood them.
Unexpectedly, not only did her third uncle step forward to save her, but her third aunt also helped her in a very considerate way.
The fright that Lan Hua suffered today was soothed by Shu Yu, the old lady, Lu Sanzhu, and Liang Shi.
However, once she returned to Shangshi Village, Lan Hua realized that she had been too naive.
Why would you send her home and help her speak well of her in front of her mother?
Uncle and Aunt were just showing off. With such a great opportunity as a job, how could they not make a big fuss about it?
Especially Lu Sanzhu, in front of Lu Dasong, pretended to be serious and said, "We're going to move to the county town starting tomorrow, so we'll have to trouble you to look after the house and stuff. Also, we have two acres of land left that we haven't rented out, and we don't have time to find someone to rent it out, so we'll have to trouble you to help us out. It doesn't matter if the rent is a little less, anyway, I don't need that little bit of money."
Madam Liang also said, "Yes, brother, we know this is very sudden. We didn't expect that someone would notice the children's father's swimming skills. It must be fate. We have to go to my parents' house tomorrow to pick up the two children. There's not enough time. Please bear with us, brother and sister-in-law."
Lu Dasong's expression was complicated. He suddenly felt that he was the one who needed to be taken care of.
Li was so angry she gritted her teeth. If she hadn't been trying her best to suppress her anger, she would have chased the two of them out with a broom.
That's outrageous.
However, her anger did shift; she scolded Lan Hua a couple of times, and then focused the rest of her anger on the third son and his wife.
Heaven is truly blind; this family works honestly and diligently, yet they just can't seem to encounter such good fortune.
