Chapter 890: Chapter 890: Madam Liang, Righteous and Dignified

Everyone was astounded, even the old lady frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Mother, didn’t we go to Eldest Uncle’s home today and bring lots of rice and grain? We ate a meal at noon and there was quite a bit left over. Sister-in-law wanted to keep it all for herself, but I couldn’t let her do that, could I? So, I took the liberty of moving the leftovers into the mule carriage while she wasn’t paying attention."

Madam Liang said this with a self-righteous air, as if standing on moral high ground.

If she hadn’t moved those things out of the house and loaded them onto that mule carriage, planning to take them back to her own home, her words might have carried a bit more weight.

The old lady pointed a finger at her, "You’re no better than Boss’ wife; I’ve never seen the likes of you before, fleecing your own mother, taking and grabbing what you can."

Madam Liang hastily climbed onto the mule carriage and waved at Third Lu, "Hurry up, Mother said it’s getting late, why aren’t we heading back?"

Lu Sanzhu promptly lifted the two children onto the carriage, herded Lu Sixing’s entire family on board, and pulled on the reins to leave.

Only then did Madam Liang stick her head out and say to the old lady, "Mother, I didn’t just fleece you alone. Compared to how I treat my own family, I’ve been much more filial to you."

The old lady slipped off her shoe and was about to throw it, having never seen such shameless behavior, grabbing things from both her maternal and marital families and still having the audacity to make comparisons.

Shu Yu, unable to hold back laughter and tears, stopped her, "Grandmother, please calm down. You know the kind of person Third Aunt is; it’s not worth getting angry with her for."

"I feel even more sorry for her parents, for giving birth to such a shameless daughter. You don’t know; the last time she seldom brought back a pound of meat to her parents’ house, they were close to tears with gratitude. When she left, they stuffed her basket full of fresh vegetables. They genuinely cared for her, as if feeding a dog with their whole hearts; had I known, I wouldn’t have prepared those specialties for her."

Yes, specialties.

When the Lu family returned from the southwest, not only did they buy many local specialties in Linzhang Prefecture, but they also bought wonderful and rare items along the way. Each of the three families received a share, leaving no one out.

The share for the Boss’ family had been delivered earlier that morning, and the rest had just been moved onto the mule carriage. Due to Sanzhu and her husband’s unreliability, the old lady had made a point to inform Lu Sixing.

Who would have known that Madam Liang would be so unreliable; it was now regrettable to have entrusted those things to her.

Madam Liang, now in the carriage, noticed several new sacks adding to the crowdedness as the children were squashed together, making the inside much more cramped all of a sudden.

Madam Liang felt curious, "What’s this?"

Lu Sixing chuckled, "Third Sister-in-law, these are the specialties Mother and Second Brother brought back from the southwest for us. Our two families have one share each."

Madam Liang’s eyes lit up, "What’s inside? Let me see."

The mule carriage jolted, and Lu Sixing quickly held her steady, "Wait until we’re home to look, just hold onto Baoya for now, so she doesn’t fall."

Madam Liang could only retreat, but her eyes kept glancing over, silently counting the number of sacks in her mind.

With both families gone, the second branch finally quieted down.

Shu Yu finally had the chance to take a good look at the courtyard they were living in now. This time the courtyard had four rooms; apart from a small study, the other three were slightly larger than those in the courtyard they had rented before.

The small study was given to Dahu to live in; with a small bed in there, it was convenient for both studying and resting.

The family was exhausted from a long day; they promptly got ready for bed and turned in early.
