Chapter 471 Liang's Desire to Pay Wages
Madam Liang touched the little tuft of hair on Bao Ya's head and smiled, "Good girl, come on, let's go find your grandma."
Bao Ya, with her short little legs, followed closely beside Liang Shi.
When the Liang mother and daughter entered the shop, the old lady was talking to Lu Erbai. She was still thinking about Tang Wenqian's strange behavior earlier. "Second son, why is this scholar Tang suddenly asking so many questions about Ayu's matter?"
Lu Erbai spoke uncertainly, "Maybe... I just said something in a moment of anger?"
"I don't think so." The old lady shook her head. "Do you think it's because Tang Xiucai has feelings for Ayu? So today, he and his mother came together to see Ayu and discuss things. But when they heard that Ayu wasn't there, they seemed very disappointed."
Lu Erbai shook his head. "It can't be that bad, it doesn't look like it."
“How can it not be the same? Our Ayu is so smart and beautiful, she’s one of a kind in the whole Shangshi Village. As for Tang Xiucai, he’s quite good too, but his mother is not easy to get along with. If Ayu marries into his family, she might make things difficult for her. Besides, they’re poor, and Ayu would have to take care of her in-laws, do laundry and cook, it would be too hard for her.”
Lu Erbai chuckled and said, "Mother, you're thinking too far ahead."
“Where is it far? Ayu is fourteen now, and when she comes back in half a year, she will be fifteen. It’s about time to arrange a marriage.” The old lady wasn’t in a hurry before, but now she really started to care. “Actually, I quite like that young master Meng. He is both talented and handsome. It’s a pity that he has a throat injury and can’t speak. I wish he could be cured.”
Lu Erbai was speechless; his mother was really going off on a tangent.
Liang and Bao Ya entered at this time.
Upon seeing her, the old lady immediately fell silent. Liang was a big mouth; if she went out and spread rumors, it would ruin Ayu's reputation.
The old lady frowned at her. "What are you doing here? You even brought Bao Ya with you. It's such a long way, can't you at least not hurt her little legs?"
“Mom, Bao Ya is my daughter, of course I love her, I always carry her with me.”
The old lady snorted coldly, not believing it. She called Bao Ya over and gave her some snacks.
Bao Ya immediately sat obediently in the chair, stuffing snacks into her mouth with a satisfied look.
Liang gave her a wink, signaling her to proceed according to plan. But once the girl had food, she completely forgot about the important matter, not even glancing at her.
Liang almost vomited blood. This unreliable brat, all she knows is eating. Where would she get food if she didn't have money?
Her fierce expression was so obvious that the old lady, who wasn't blind, naturally saw it.
She glared at Liang and said, "Speak your mind, why are you tormenting the child?"
"Mother, I didn't."
"Speak up, I don't want to listen to your excuses."
Liang looked aggrieved, but after a moment she smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Mother, Sanzhu received his wages yesterday."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"Yes, this is his second paycheck. And last month, he helped a young master find his lost jade pendant, and the young master rewarded him with a tael of silver. This month, he brought back a full two taels."
The old lady's eyes lit up. "The third son didn't actually covet that jade pendant."
Madam Liang, “…” She really is a loving mother, she truly understands her son.
