Chapter 474 Returning to My Mother's Home
The two women walked to the city gate, found an oxcart nearby, and after some haggling, finally made their way back to the mother's house.
The Liang family's home is not far from Shangshi Village. In fact, the Lu family's in-laws are all from nearby villages, so it's convenient for them to live close by.
The Liang family was not surprised when Liang came to visit. What surprised them was that Liang had waited two months before coming back to beg for money.
Liang's parents naturally disliked Liang's behavior, and Liang's elder brother and sister-in-law also found it very distasteful.
However, the Liang family elders were still soft-hearted towards the two children. While Liang could be ruthless enough to abandon the children and run away, the elders couldn't bring themselves to push them out the door.
Over the course of several visits, Da Bao stayed at the Liang family's house for quite a while, and actually developed a good relationship with the two elders.
Da Bao was very happy to be back with the Liang family.
It seemed they hadn't seen each other for a long time, because the Liang family treated Liang Shi with great courtesy, inviting her in. But when Liang Shi pulled out a piece of meat and placed it in front of them, they were nearly stunned.
The sun must have risen in the west! This guy is usually as stingy as a miser, but today he actually gave them such a 'big' piece of meat?
Ms. Liang is now very confident, sitting to the side drinking water and talking eloquently.
The Liang family was truly behind the times. When they heard from Liang that Lu Sanzhu had found a stable job in the county town, that Liang herself had taken on jobs at home to earn money, and that Da Bao had even been sent to a private school and praised by the teacher, the Liang family was so astonished that their jaws nearly dropped.
They strongly suspected that Liang was exaggerating and lying, so Liang asked Da Bao to show them what he was capable of.
Da Bao, on the other hand, recited the first half of the Three Character Classic fluently.
But even this short clip was enough to shock the Liang family.
The two elders of the Liang family were almost moved to tears, hugging their eldest child and calling him their precious darling.
After spending most of the day at the Liang family home and having lunch, Mrs. Liang finally got up, satisfied, and prepared to go home.
Before she left, the Liang family elders packed some fresh vegetables for her, some for Liang herself, since she would have to buy everything herself now that she was living in the county town.
The two elders asked her to give some of it to the old lady.
The two elderly women in the Liang family knew their daughter's personality well. With her personality, the fact that she only came to see them after her eldest child had been in school for so long meant that someone must have reminded her.
The only person who could persuade her was her mother-in-law.
Liang pursed her lips, but since she was always one to take advantage of small things, she readily accepted it.
She had originally planned to return to the county town with her eldest child, but when she saw the vegetables her family had sent her in the basket on her back, Liang felt... she could still continue to show them off.
Liang's vanity had not yet been satisfied, so she planned to go back to Shangshi Village to have something to say.
Don't think she doesn't know what those women in Shangshi Village are saying about her behind her back. They say she's unfilial, and that her family wishes they didn't have her as their daughter.
It's said that the Lu family is unlucky to have married such a lazy and good-for-nothing wife, and their lives are getting harder and harder.
What's so bitter about it? Is it so bitter that they moved to the county town, that her eldest child went to a private school, or that her parents sent her so many vegetables?
Liang decided to go back to Shangshi Village to make those women who disliked her extremely jealous.
However, Da Bao was unwilling to go; he wanted to go back to the county town and lie down.
Liang advised him, "Don't you want to tell your old friends that you're going to school and make them envious of you?"
Da Bao, "..."
He immediately looked up, his whole body brimming with fighting spirit, "I'll go."
