Chapter 115: A Hundred Taels Carriage

“This is your uncle. Do you recognize him?”

Mdm Xu held her hand and pointed at her uncle, He Zhang.

Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes!”

He Zhang’s stern expression softened.

“Where’s He Lai?”

Mdm Xu asked He Qin.

“Mother, I’m helping Xiao Sheng look after her things outside.”

Outside, He Lai was playing with Lu Jiang and Lu Xin. When he heard his mother’s loud voice, he hurriedly replied.

Only then did Lu Sheng remember that the two children and the carriage were still outside.

“Grandma, Ah Jiang and Ah Xin are here too. They’re outside.”

“They’re here too?” When Mdm Zhao heard that, she hurriedly said, “How can we let the children stay outside? Bring them in quickly.”

Lu Sheng nodded and went to bring the horse carriage in.

“Lu Sheng is amazing. She can even ride a carriage.” Mdm Xu praised her with a smile.

“Just borrow an ox cart. Why did you rent this carriage? It’s expensive.”

Mdm Zhao thought that Lu Sheng had borrowed the carriage and could not help but mumble.

“Grandma!”

After Lu Jiang and Lu Xin entered the courtyard, they struggled free from He Lai’s grip and pounced onto Mdm Zhao.

“Oh!”

Mdm Zhao forgot about her unhappiness just now and smiled brightly as she hugged each child in her hand.

“Where’s Zhang Hui?”

He Zhang asked He Lai.

He Lai replied, “He escaped when he saw you coming back.”

Mdm Xu looked at the crowd and said loudly, “Alright, if there’s nothing else, please disperse.”

Seeing that the commotion had died down, everyone dispersed obediently.

Lu Jiang hugged Mdm Zhao’s neck and smiled. “Grandma, Second Sister bought the carriage.”

“You bought it?”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Lu Sheng in surprise.

“This carriage costs at least a hundred taels.”

He Lai had observed it carefully just now. A horse carriage made of this material was commonly used by rich families in the academy.

“A hundred… A hundred taels of silver?”

Mdm Xu and Mdm Zhao were shocked at the same time. He Qin’s initially surprised expression became even more surprised.

They had saved those few taels of silver only after scrimping. They had even sent all of them to Lu Sheng and the rest. Now, they were telling him that Lu Sheng had bought a carriage worth more than a hundred taels.

He had thought that his nephews and nieces would lead a tough life after Lu Dahua and Mdm Liu were jailed. He did not expect that his thoughts were just thoughts…

He Qin felt conflicted.

“Ah Sheng, where did you get so much money from?” Mdm Zhao asked softly.

“An expert said that I have amazing bone structure and can be trained to become a martial arts prodigy. Hence, he accepted me as his disciple.”

Her ambiguous answer made them silently stare at her suspiciously.

“Well… To put it simply, my master is a rich man.”

After speaking, Lu Sheng took out two notes worth a hundred taels each and passed them to He Qin. “Uncle, take these and rebuild the house. Use the remaining money to do some business.”

Everyone present either sighed or was expressionless.

Mdm Zhao said worriedly, “This is the money your master gave you. Isn’t it bad to give them to your uncle?”

“No!”

Lu Sheng smiled. “My master is a very good person. Moreover, the money he gave me is mine. He won’t be angry no matter what I decide.”

Her master was not only rich but also powerful.

“Well…”

He Qin looked at Mdm Zhao, seemingly asking if he could take it.

“Since it’s from Lu Sheng, take it,” Mdm Xu said. “Build the house again and clean up your father’s tofu shop. Selling some tofu in the village is better than running to town to be a shop assistant. You can also take care of your mother.”
