Chapter 881 Tang Wenqian Doesn't Trust His Mother
Tang's mother watched her retreating figure, pursed her lips, rubbed her aching shoulder, and looked up in the direction of the Lu family.
So that girl became a village head? That's impressive.
She only found out about this today. Wen Qian was working for the county magistrate in the county government office. There was no way he wouldn't have heard about something so important.
But she had just visited her son in the county town the day before yesterday, and he hadn't said a single word to her.
Is this because they're afraid she won't be able to keep the secret and will blurt it out in a moment of panic?
But she has already made promises, and she knows she was wrong. Does he really want to keep holding a grudge about this because of an outsider?
Besides, it's not entirely her fault. If that Liang family hadn't come to provoke her, how could she have lost control and blurted it out?
Tang's mother felt extremely wronged, and then a pang of jealousy followed. Her son had studied diligently for ten years, and now he could only help out at the county magistrate's side, while that girl from the Lu family was so lucky, she became a village lady directly, and even Lord Xiang treated her with great respect. It was truly unfair.
Tang's mother stopped looking at the Lu family and abruptly turned around and went back to her own courtyard.
The Lu family doesn't care what outsiders think, as long as no one bothers them.
After looking at the heating pack, Lu Sanzhu wanted to take the already used thing apart and take a look.
Shu Yu quickly put the heating pack away, and Lu Sanzhu chuckled, "Shu Yu, let me see this."
"What are you looking at? We don't need this. I've already presented the heating pack to the Emperor. How to promote it, who to use it, and when to make it available to the common people are all the Emperor's business. You can take a look, but don't know too much about it; it won't do us any good."
The old lady patted Lu Sanzhu on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, don't be so curious."
Lu Sanzhu shrank back, and seeing Shu Yu's serious expression, he probably realized the seriousness of the matter and dared not say anything more.
Seeing this, Lu Sixing stepped forward and said, "Alright, we've seen the heating pack now. Aren't we going up the mountain later? Let's tidy up the house first, and then we can set off."
Seeing that she was about to enter the room with a broom, Shu Yu quickly stopped her, "Fourth Aunt, don't rush to tidy up the room. We're not staying in the village tonight."
Lu Sixing was taken aback, and Lu Dasong, who was standing next to her, was even more surprised. "You don't live in the village anymore? Then why are you going back to the county town? But didn't you already cancel the lease on that house in the county town?"
"We've already had people help us look for a place, and we can move in tonight," the old lady said. "We haven't seen the big house that the Emperor bestowed upon us yet. After we see it, we'll have to renovate it before we can move in. Until then, we'll need to rent a place to live."
The old lady was referring to Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi. They had nothing to do today, so they were helping to find a house near Liufang Lane. This time, they wanted a short-term rental, at most two months.
The house in the village will be left unattended for now, since all the family's fields have been rented out, and they have nothing to do if they stay here.
However, this is the root of the Lu family after all. When we have more money and time in the future, we will have to renovate this house.
The old lady then said to Lu Dasong, "We bought some vegetables and rice in the county town, and we'll move them all to your house in a little while. We'll have lunch at your house."
Lu Dasong quickly nodded, "Okay, I'll have my wife go back and cook right away."
