Chapter 480 Returning to the County Town
Da Niu frowned. Just how serious was the situation that his third aunt had forgotten about her son?
And the basket on my third aunt's back—even though she was already on the oxcart, she forgot to take it off and put it on the cart.
Da Niu began to feel uneasy.
Liang told him to keep driving, and when they were almost next to Da Bao, she quickly waved, "Da Bao, Da Bao, let's go back."
Da Bao was unhappy; he was in the middle of a lively conversation and didn't want to leave.
"Mother, we just arrived, why are we leaving already?"
Without further ado, Madam Liang threatened, "If you don't leave, you'll have to walk back yourself later. There are still oxcarts available, so don't be ungrateful."
Da Bao, "..."
He snorted coldly, "Then I'll wait for Brother Da Niu to come back and have him drive me again."
Liang said, "If you don't leave, I'll tell everyone that the teacher hits your palms every day."
Da Bao's eyes widened. "You already said it!!!"
Da Bao was furious, especially when he saw the children surrounding him looking at him with suspicion; he almost cried.
It seemed that further boasting wouldn't have any effect, so Da Bao stomped his foot indignation and quickly ran towards the oxcart, nimbly climbing onto the cart.
"Mother, how could you do this?"
Madam Liang wasn't in the mood for banter with him right now, so she just mumbled a perfunctory reply, "Alright, alright, next time when you pass the imperial examination and come back as a scholar, all those people will definitely fawn over you."
After saying that, she didn't say another word.
Da Bao muttered a few complaints, but when she didn't respond, he got bored and simply moved closer to talk to Da Niu.
Da Niu turned his head and glanced at Liang Shi, who was deep in thought, her brows almost knotted together.
Liang's mind had been in turmoil since earlier; she didn't know whether what Tang's mother said was true or a lie. But now, she was more inclined to believe what Tang's mother had said.
Because she knew that Shu Yu was indeed not in Jiangyuan County at the moment; she had left a few days ago.
Before she left, she even came to see them and told them to take good care of the old lady, work hard, and not slack off.
She had previously thought that Shu Yu was going on a long trip and wouldn't be back for a while, which was why she gave such an explanation.
Thinking about it more carefully now, it's like giving your last words.
Liang was flustered and confused. She had to hurry back to find Lu Sanzhu. She was at a loss about what to do about this matter.
Before they knew it, the oxcart had arrived at the city gate. Da Niu finally turned around and asked, "Third Aunt, shall I take you straight home?"
Madam Liang nodded, then shook her head. "No, I won't go back. I'll go to Liufang Lane to find your grandmother."
The south of the city is too far away. Lu Sanzhu is still at work, and she can't wait to go to such a far place.
Now she trusts the old lady more. She even feels that Shu Yu may have said something to the old lady before she left, and maybe the old lady can give her an accurate answer.
Da Niu nodded and drove the oxcart straight to Liufang Lane.
As the car passed the Meng family's gate, Da Niu saw that the gate was locked and thought, "The young master of the Meng family has gone out to find a doctor again."
Not long after, the oxcart stopped at the entrance of Liufang Lane.
Liang ignored Da Niu and Da Bao, and jumped off the car with great agility.
Then she immediately started banging on the door, "Mom, Mom, open the door quickly."
Upon hearing Liang's familiar voice, the old lady inside the house rolled her eyes first.
