Everyone’s attention had been on Lu Sanzhu and his wife.

Hearing Daya’s words, the old lady immediately turned her head and was surprised, “When did the Lanhua come?”

As she spoke, she pulled the girl over to sit. Then, she noticed her red and swollen eyes and frowned slightly, “What’s going on? Who bullied you?” Lanhua quickly shook her head. She didn’t plan to say anything.

However, when Lu Sanzhu saw Lanhua, he immediately remembered that he had found a job. He hurriedly said, “Mother, Honey, I haven’t told you yet. I’m going to live in the county. I found a job in the peach blossom forest and will be working there from now on.”

“What?” Even the old lady, who was concerned about the Lanhua, was so shocked by the news that she was at a loss for a reaction.

Her lazy third son, who was not welcomed anywhere he went, had actually been hired?

The old lady immediately looked at Shu Yu, “He hasn’t been deceived, has he?”

Shu Yu found it amusing and shook her head, “No.”

Lu Sanzhu was displeased, “Mother, you’re looking down on me.”

“What’s going on? What kind of job did you get? How much is your monthly salary?” Madam Liang asked eagerly.

Lu Sanzhu was very pleased with himself, “Isn’t there a huge lotus pond over at the peach blossom forest? Oh, you guys haven’t been there, so you don’t know. Anyway, the lotus pond is very big. Many people go there to play when they have nothing to do. I’m very good at swimming, so the boss of the peach blossom forest, Lord Qi, took a fancy to me and asked me to work there. The work is easy and free, and I will even earn one tael of silver a month. Lord Qi said that when I become a steward in the future, he will give me a raise.”

Dahu covered his mouth and giggled. Lord Qi clearly didn’t mean that. Third Uncle really knew how to make things up.

Madam Liang’s eyes lit up, and the old lady was also very surprised.

Did her third son really get lucky?

The two of them asked a few other questions curiously, and Lu Sanzhu boasted proudly.

Madam Liang was overjoyed.

On the other hand, the old lady asked in confusion, “How did Lord Qi know that you’re good at swimming? Have you gone into the water in front of him? Yes, your clothes are different. Where did you get these clothes?”

Lu Sanzhu choked.

This matter could not be hidden, so Shu Yu explained the cause and effect concisely.

Only then did the old lady understand why Lanhua’s eyes were so swollen.

She held Lanhua’s hand and was furious, “Those people are really heartless. They only know how to bully us, commoners. Yu, you did a good job kicking them. We should teach them a lesson.”

After saying that, she was a little worried, “Will there be any problems? Will they come looking for trouble with us?”

Shu Yu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Grandmother. They’re from somewhere else. They won’t dare to make a big deal out of it. Worse comes to worst, we can go to the county office and ask Officer Hu for help. He’s a good person.”

The old lady nodded, “Yes, yes, yes. It’s all thanks to him this time. That’s why it’s easy to get things done when we have connections in the government. Let’s buy a few more pots of wine and send them over later. We have to maintain this connection.”

“Alright, I’ll do it. Not only did the officer help, but Scholar Tang and his classmates came to help today as well. Third Uncle is still wearing Scholar

Tang’s classmate’s clothes. When we returned them, we must thank them.”

Saying this, Shu Yu turned her head and said to Madam Liang, “Third Aunt, Third Uncle has been soaking in the water for a long time. Make some ginger soup for him first, lest he catches a cold.”

Madam Liang reacted and quickly got up to run to the kitchen..
