Chapter 1061: Chapter 1061 Nightmare

Madam Li opened her mouth, wanting to say that Cuihua had been so rusted by the old lady’s teachings that she couldn’t think straight at all.

But as she looked up at the others, she found they all looked disapproving of her words, and she was suddenly a bit annoyed, "Fine, fine, rent a house if you want, that’s your business, I won’t meddle, okay?"

To her surprise, Cuihua actually replied with an ’hmm.’

Madam Li almost fell backward with anger; none of her four children were worry-free, none understood her well-meaning intentions.

She was about to leave, "Since you and your husband have made your decision, why say anything to us anymore?"

Cuihua, "I’m not finished yet, the renting a house issue isn’t just about us."

"What do you mean?" Lu Dasong asked.

Cuihua looked at Lanhua and Erniu, "Earlier today, I heard Lanhua say that she wants to follow Daya... Ah You to learn a craft, and work at Yiren Pavilion in the future? And Erniu, who has already met Master Wen, will be going to the school in a few days, is that right?"

Both nodded.

Cuihua then said, "Since you’ll both be in the county town in the future, we might as well live together, so we can look out for each other."

Lanhua and Erniu froze for a moment, then their eyes lit up together, "Big Sister means we rent a house together?"

"Yes."

Lu Dasong suddenly nodded, "I think that’s doable. Let’s do it. I’ll cover Lanhua and Erniu’s rent."

The eldest daughter is married after all, and her life is tight, not wealthy. If it’s just the three of them, they could rent a cheaper, smaller house. But now with Lanhua and Erniu, they need at least two more rooms, and it’s not right to have her cover it.

This time Madam Li had nothing to say; she did intend to benefit from others, but she didn’t plan to exploit her eldest daughter.

However, Lanhua shook her head, "I don’t need you to cover it, I can pay for myself. Sister Ah You said that although I’m learning the craft from her, I help with work every day, and I have a guaranteed wage of three or four hundred coins a month. If I learn fast, I can start doing makeup for others in a few months, and by then my wages will go up."

Erniu, "I, I..."

He didn’t seem ready yet; he was still in school and the tuition had to be paid by his parents.

The matter was settled like this. Tomorrow, Lai Jinhai would go with Lu Erbai to repair the house, and Cuihua would first look for a house. As for the children, they’d have to trouble the old lady to watch them for a day.

The old lady didn’t mind; Lu Sanzhu’s family needed their house repaired, and Third Lu had to go to work, so only Madam Liang went to oversee things. So Baoya had to stay here for her to help look after for a few days.

Fortunately, the Lu family had servants, the old lady had Hua Xian by her side, and with Lu Sixing here during the day, she was quite at ease.

After discussing the matter, Cuihua finally took the child back to her room to rest.

The Lu family fell into complete silence, everyone had drifted into a dream, except... Shu Yu.

Not long after Shu Yu fell asleep, she began to dream.

In her dreams, the scene of Meng Yunzheng saying goodbye to her repeated over and over.

Then it was followed by a raging fire reaching the sky, and in the fire, sometimes it was Meng Yunzheng at ten years old, and sometimes his current appearance.

However, whether it was him at ten or twenty, Meng Yunzheng was trapped in the sea of fire, unable to escape.

Shu Yu slept restlessly and was startled awake in the middle of the night, gasping for air in the pitch-black darkness. Her mind was groggy, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses.

After a while, she wiped the sweat off her forehead, got up, and went outside to pour herself a glass of water to drink.
