Chapter 921 Changing Name
Shu Yu swallowed hard, thinking that Meng Yunzheng was probably taking revenge on Zhao Xi.
Seeing that Zhao Xi was about to settle accounts, she quickly stopped him, "Well, actually, this statement is usually correct, but my sister's situation is special, right? We can't generalize."
"Really?" Zhao Xi turned his head, his expression still contorted.
Shu Yu nodded. "Really."
Meng Yunzheng completely ignored Zhao Xi's expression as if he wanted to rush over and bite him, and turned to Shu Yu, saying, "I happen to have something I want to tell you. Yesterday I took Da Hu to see Master Wen, and we talked about Da Hu's academic progress. We were talking about Da Hu's name. Should we change it before he takes the county exam? We can use Da Hu as his nickname?"
The name Da Hu is too common. Not to mention Jiangyuan County, there are two in Shangshi Village alone.
Fortunately, the person's surname wasn't Lu. Otherwise, if Da Hu were to actually take the imperial examinations and the officials came to the village to announce the good news, it would be easy for them to make a mistake and cause trouble.
Shu Yu pondered for a moment and also thought it was feasible.
"I'll ask around and discuss it with my family later." Changing a name is a big deal, after all.
Sanya heard this and tilted her little head up, saying, "I, I want to change my name too. I want a name similar to my second sister's. My second sister's name sounds nice."
Shu Yu rubbed her head. "Okay, let's discuss it when we get home?"
Sanya immediately became excited, "Then let's go back now."
She pulled Shuyu away, intending to change her name and then come back.
Shu Yu could only wave goodbye to Meng Yunzheng and was pulled home by the little girl.
At this moment, apart from Madam Ruan who went to the garment factory and Da Hu who went to school, everyone else in the family was still there.
Daya was waiting for her news. When she saw that she didn't come back with the box, she knew that Zhao Xi had taken it back and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Erbai got up a little late and had just finished breakfast before heading to Shangshi Village to recruit laborers.
He talked to Yuan Shanchuan yesterday, and the latter actually introduced him to someone who could find him about ten reliable day laborers.
Lu Erbai then had dinner with them and drank some wine. He was probably too happy and drank a bit too much, so he didn't get back until very late and naturally slept in late this morning.
Just then, the family bought a servant, and Lu Erbai was sent home by Ying Dong.
Upon seeing Shu Yu, Lu Erbai suddenly remembered something and stopped in his tracks as he walked out the door. "Shu Yu, there's something I want to ask you."
"What?"
"It must be your third uncle. He wants to buy a house in the county town."
"Buy a house??" Before Shu Yu could speak, the old lady couldn't help but exclaim, "He only has so much money and he wants to buy a house in the county town? Is he out of his mind? Wait a minute..."
The old lady suddenly frowned. "He told you privately that he wanted to buy a house? Does he want to borrow money from you?"
Lu Erbai sighed helplessly. Indeed, no one knows a child better than their mother. She guessed it immediately with a single, sharp insight.
Yesterday, Lu Erbai went to see Yuan Shanchuan. Lu Sanzhu, who lived in the same alley, naturally knew about it. When no one was paying attention, he asked Lu Erbai to borrow money, and he borrowed two hundred taels of silver, saying that he wanted to buy a house.
Lu Erbai did have some silver saved up, but he couldn't come up with that much to lend to others.
He subtly explained his predicament, and then this guy mentioned Ayu.
Lu Erbai immediately understood. The third brother wasn't asking him for money at all. What was this called... right, throwing out a brick to get the jade, clearly wanting him to find Ayu.
