Ma was also startled by her husband's sudden shout. She had never seen her husband so angry, but she did not think she had done anything wrong.
She stroked her pounding heart and asked grimly, "But what did he say to you?"
Patriarch Lu glared, "Do you think you are just like this gossipy woman, who likes to gossip about other people?"
Hearing her husband say this about her, she was not angry at all. Instead, she felt somewhat fortunate that Lu Kang did not complain to her husband.
She felt a little relieved and curled her lips and said, "Why are you yelling at me? I just saw that the three siblings were having a hard time, and I heard that the family of the city official was recruiting literate girls, so I suggested that he send Xiaoping to try, so that he can study with peace of mind!"
At this moment, she didn't dare to mention that the two children were a burden.
After hearing what his wife said, Patriarch Lu felt so angry that his chest ached. He covered his chest with one hand and pointed at his wife with the other, cursing angrily, "You ignorant woman, you short-sighted, ignorant woman!"
He wondered why Lu Kang wanted to move to Rongcheng for no reason, and it turned out that his wife had set her sights on his brother's wife.
Patriarch Lu sighed helplessly. It was misfortune for his family. It was truly misfortune for his family. He had tried so hard to show goodwill to Lu Kang, but it was all ruined by this woman!
Seeing his father clutching his chest, the eldest son of the Lu family was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to support him. "Dad, don't be angry. It's not worth it if you get yourself hurt. It was Mom who did something wrong. I'm willing to apologize to the Lu siblings on her behalf!"
Ma looked at her husband clutching his chest, and her attitude softened. She didn't dare argue with him anymore, and said angrily, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned this to him, but he hasn't agreed to it either. I won't mention it again in the future!"
Patriarch Lu snorted coldly, "Even if you want to bring it up, you have nowhere to bring it up." After that, he shook off his son's hand and went to the bedroom.
He has to lie down, his heart aches!
Ma didn't understand what he meant. She watched her husband walk away in anger, and her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed. She winked at her son and said, "Go to the room and see how your father is doing."
When Lu Dalang received the order and walked into the room with a bowl of sugar water, he saw his father lying on the bed sighing.
He carefully placed the sugar water on the bedside, "Dad, it's hot out here, it's easy to get angry, drink some sugar water to moisten your body."
Clan leader Lu was helped to his feet by his son. After drinking a bowl of sugar water to calm his anger, he said weakly, "It's not easy for a clan to produce a promising young man. If Kang'er's parents hadn't died at the wrong time, Kang'er might have become a scholar. But your mother still wants your younger sister to be a maid. I really don't know how to scold her!"
"Mother was wrong in this matter. We should take good care of their family in the future! Lu Kang is also a polite and generous person. He will not take this matter to heart!" Lu Dalang advised.
He also wanted to support others, but Lu Kang was a strong-willed person and usually didn't want to receive benefits from others for nothing.
Over the years, he only lent out five taels of silver, and now he has paid it all back.
He sighed helplessly and said to his son, "I'm afraid there won't be any chance in the future. My family will be moving to Rongcheng soon!"
Lu Dalang was also shocked when he heard this. Why did this person leave? No wonder Dad was so angry. Could it be that what Mom said just now forced him to leave? He hurriedly asked, "Do you want me to explain it to him?"
"Since he has made his decision, he won't change it. Don't bother him any more. He will leave the farmland to our family to look after. We should be more attentive. If there are any issues in the government office in the future, just let him know."
As for Lu Kang, you just need to do what he wants and that will show your respect to him!
Lu Dalang nodded in agreement.
When she learned from her son that Lu Kang and his family were moving to Rongcheng, Ma's face immediately fell. Why were they leaving?
Although she looked down on the two younger ones, she really liked Lu Kang. What a pity!
Lu Dalang looked at her mother's face and hurriedly warned her, "Mom, please don't go looking for Lu Kang again, otherwise the little affection between our two families will be exhausted!"
Ma glared at her son. Was she a monster? But she finally put her thoughts aside.
When Lu Kang returned home, he saw two children sitting obediently by the door of the main room, sorting the freshly picked beans.
While they were busy, they kept glancing towards the gate. With so many strangers suddenly coming to their house, the two children were still a little nervous.
When he saw his elder brother coming back, Lu An immediately smiled, stopped the work in his hands, and jumped to his elder brother's side, looking very dependent on him.
Lu Kang rubbed his brother's head to comfort him, led him back to the main room, and began to help his sister peel beans.
A breeze blew, bringing the aroma from the kitchen door to the few people. Lu An's stomach immediately started to rumble.
Lu An sniffed hard and smelled the fragrance wafting from the yard. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva. It was so fragrant!
The two children can still eat eggs occasionally, but they haven't eaten meat for a long time.
Seeing this, Lu Kang simply said to the two children, "Brother will kill a chicken for you later!"
The two men were so scared that they kept waving their hands. Lu An said anxiously, "Brother, we don't want to eat the chicken. Can you keep the chicken?"
These are the only chickens left in their family, and they are counting on them to lay eggs and hatch chicks!
Seeing the two children's anxious expressions, Lu Kang smiled and asked them to sit down. "I was originally planning to tell you after dinner, but now I'll tell you. I'm taking you to Rongcheng. If I don't kill these chickens and eat them, there's no one to take care of them."
The two children couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard what their brother said. The farthest place they had been to was Yuncheng. Now they were going to follow their brother to another place they had never heard of. Both of them were a little uneasy.
Lu Kang lifted his younger brother and sat him on his lap, explaining, "My brother got a job as a teacher there. He not only has food and shelter, but also three taels of silver per month."
The two were stunned when they heard this. The younger Lu An only heard that there was food and shelter.
The older Lu Ping knew clearly what three taels of silver meant to their family every month.
Seeing the two children looking at him with sparkling eyes, Lu Kang asked in a good mood: "Are you two willing to go?"
The two nodded repeatedly, fearing that if they were a step late, their eldest brother would change his mind!
However, the three brothers and sisters did not kill the chicken in the end. After Qiao Da cooked a large pot of chicken soup, he served a bowl to Lu Kang.
Without giving Lu Kang a chance to refuse, Qiao Da spoke first, "It's hot, and that big pot of chicken soup would be wasted if we can't finish it. Brother, please help share some of it!"
Lu Kang, who originally didn't want to take advantage of others, wanted to refuse, but when he saw that his brother's eyes seemed to be glued to the bowl, he accepted Qiao Da's kindness. At worst, he could just stew a chicken for himself tomorrow and take it back.
Qiao Da put down his bowl and didn't rush to leave. "Brother Lu, please tell me about a few grain shops in Yuncheng. We brothers plan to go there tomorrow morning to check out the market!"
