Chapter 289 - 289: The Naive Lanhua

He heaved a sigh of relief and pulled the mule carriage out of the door.

Madama Liang and Lanhua followed him. After getting into the carriage, they went straight to the city gate.

The three of them managed to get out of the city 15 minutes before the gate closed.

Lu Sanzhu was obviously in a good mood, and so was Madam Liang. Only Lanhua was listlessly leaning against the wall of the carriage.

Madam Liang finally found her conscience and comforted her, “It’s alright, Lanhua, don’t think too much. We’ll send you to Big Brother’s house later and help you explain the situation to your mother personally. She won’t blame you.”

The coachman, Lu Sanzhu, nodded, “Yes, didn’t Yu say that you’re the victim, and those three young masters are the ones who were at fault? If your mother won’t listen to reason, let your father beat her.”

Lanhua was speechless. Third Uncle and Third Aunt were still as unreliable as ever.

However, taels she could still feel their good intentions. Lanhua forced a smile, “Thank you, Third Uncle and Third Aunt.”

“Hey, what are you thanking me for?” Madam Liang waved her hand, then said to Lu Sanzhu, “Sanzhu, Mother told me just now to not tell anyone about

Lanhua being stopped by those young masters. We just have to tell Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law. About your job, just say that your swimming abilities caught Lord Qi’s eye. Either way, what happened at the peach blossom forest won’t spread to our village, so don’t cause trouble for Lanhua.”

“I know, I know.”

Lu Sanzhu wanted to save his niece but failed. Instead, he was trapped in the water. Being involved in such a matter, even he was ashamed to share it.

As for their fellow villager, Scholar Tang, he was not the kind of person who talked much.

Lanhua was even more touched. She felt that it was because she had little contact with her Third Uncle and Third Aunt in the past, plus her mother had always spoken ill of them, which was why she had misunderstood the two of them.

She did not expect that not only did Third Uncle step forward to save her, but Third Aunt also put herself in her shoes to help her.

Shu Yu, the old lady, Lu Sanzhu, and Madam Liang soothed the shock Lanhua felt today.

Unfortunately, when they returned to Shangshi Village, Lanhua realized that she was too naive.

Sending her home and helping her put in a good word in front of her mother?

Third Uncle and Third Aunt were simply there to show off. How could they not publicize such a great thing as finding jobs?

Especially Lu Sanzhu. In front of Lu Dasong, he acted all great and said, “We’ll be moving to the county starting tomorrow. We’ll have to trouble you to help us look after our house. Also, we have two acres of land left that we haven’t rented out. We don’t have time to find someone to rent it, so we need to trouble you to help us too. It doesn’t matter if the rent is a little lower. I don’t lack that bit of money anyway.”

Madam Liang chirped in, “That’s right, Big Brother. We know that this is very sudden, but it’s mainly because we didn’t expect that someone would take a fancy to Sanzhu’s swimming abilities. We still have to go to my parent’s house tomorrow to pick up the two children. There’s not enough time. Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law, please bear with us.”

Lu Dasong’s expression was complicated. He suddenly felt that he was the one who needed to be taken care of.

At the same time, Madam Li gritted her teeth in hatred. If she hadn’t tried her best to suppress her anger, she would have chased the two of them out with a broom.

They were simply too hateful.

Fortunately, the target of her anger had indeed changed. She only reprimanded Lanhua a little and the rest of her anger was concentrated on Sanzhu and his wife.

The heavens really did not have eyes. Their family worked diligently, but they never encountered such fortune..
