Chapter 885 Preparing to Repair the Ancestral Tomb
"As for the Ge family, they seemed quite good before, but now it seems they are the kind of family that can only share wealth but not hardship. There's a saying that goes, 'When disaster strikes, husbands and wives fly away separately.'"
As he spoke, he kept glancing at Li Shi, and then raised his voice to ask her, "Right, sister-in-law?"
Li's face darkened. She knew what Liang meant. Wasn't it because she had also wanted to file for divorce after learning that Ayu had been exiled?
But wasn't she doing it for the good of the children? Who knew that Ayu's luck would change for the better.
Madam Liang snorted coldly, thinking that today was a day for family reunion, so she decided not to argue with her to avoid ruining the atmosphere.
She turned to Lan Hua and continued, "It's good that you see the true colors of the Ge family sooner rather than later, so they won't harm you if something really happens in the future. Besides, you're still young. A Yu isn't even engaged yet, so there's no need to rush, right, A Yu?"
Shu Yu, “…” You’ve already said everything, what else can I say?
But she did agree with what Liang said, so she nodded and said to the pitiful Lan Hua, "Third Aunt, your words may be rough, but they make sense. The Ge family is indeed not a good match. Besides, you haven't even reached marriageable age yet, so there's really no need to rush."
Lan Hua was a few months younger than her. Although in this day and age, girls who are engaged at the age of fourteen or fifteen are considered very desirable by outsiders, girls of this age are not fully developed and it is not advisable for them to get married too early.
Shu Yu said to her, "When we came back from the southwest, we passed through the prefectural city. There were female doctors in the large medical clinic there, and I happened to meet one. They told me that it's actually better for a woman to wait until she's eighteen to get married. Having children too early not only greatly increases the chances that the child will not be healthy, but it will also affect the woman's lifespan. So there's no rush. We can take our time. You're not bad, you'll have plenty of options."
Orchid asked in surprise, "There's such a saying?"
Shu Yu nodded affirmatively.
Lan Hua let out a breath. She had to admit that Shu Yu's words had indeed provided her with great comfort.
During this period, not only did Li not leave the house, but neither did she and Erniu.
A woman whose engagement has been broken off will inevitably suffer a great loss of reputation.
She even felt that she might never be able to get married and would only be able to stay at home as an old aunt, which was a really unpleasant feeling.
But now, with Ayu's affirmation, it suddenly seems like it's not such a big deal.
The Ge family is not good enough for her.
Seeing that her mood had improved, Shu Yu didn't say anything more.
As for Erniu's expulsion, if he still wants to study, his original private school is indeed not suitable.
Wen Fuzi's side is a good choice, but there's no rush now. It's better for her to talk to Da Niu directly about this.
As the group chatted, the old lady woke up.
Seeing that it was getting late, the old lady asked Lu Sanzhu to go to the village chief's house to call Lu Erbai back, as they should go back to the county town.
Two mule carts, carrying another group of people, left the village in a grand procession.
The members of the eldest branch of the family saw them off, looking somewhat reluctant to part.
Shu Yu stood beside the mule cart and said to Lu Dasong, "Uncle, I want to repair the ancestral graves. I'll need your help to think about it later, what kind of plan we should follow, and how much money we'll need. We'll recruit some people, pick a date, and make proper preparations."
Lu Dasong was stunned. "You, what did you say? Repairing ancestral graves?"
