Chapter 155: Treat It That He Didn’t Say Anything
Lu Ran nodded. “Yes.”
It was one thing if it was efficacious or not. How could he not have followed his sister’s orders?
“That’s good!”
She also needed to rest. Doing ritual everyday was very tiring.
She also promised Chu Sihan and Yun Ting that she would find General Ji’s soul tonight.
“Brother Tao is back. Aren’t you going to find him to play?”
Lu Sheng took the apples from Mdm Fang and washed them. After giving them to Lu Jiang and Lu Xin, she passed Lu Ran another.
“Go ahead and eat.”
Lu Ran blocked it with his hand.
Lu Sheng nodded and placed the apple on the table.
“I will go over to Brother Tao’s later.” He looked at Lu Sheng and said, “I heard from Uncle that you went to visit Grandma and Uncle?”
“Yes. I also brought some money to them so they could build a house.”
Lu Sheng took a few bites of the apple. After chewing and swallowing, she continued, “Brother, did you know that Uncle got engaged to a family surnamed Zhang?”
Lu Ran shook his head.
He had not visited Grandma and Uncle for a long time. He did not know what happened there.
“Thankfully, you don’t know about this.”
Before Lu Sheng could finish speaking, she took another bite and continued chewing.
Lu Ran, who was waiting for her to continue, frowned.
“The Zhang family is really formidable. Snap —”
Lu Ran was speechless.
“They heard that Grandma sent a few taels of silver to our family, so they tripled the five taels that was initially promised to them as a betrothal gift. Snap —”
Lu Ran was speechless.
Couldn’t she finish speaking first?
In the end, Lu Ran could only say helplessly, “Finish the apple first.”
Lu Sheng glanced at the apple core in her hand and smiled. “I’ve already finished it.”
Lu Ran was speechless.
Treat it that he didn’t say anything.
Lu Sheng threw the apple core in her hands accurately into a nearby bamboo basket. She clapped her hands and continued.
“They said that Uncle had to give them twenty taels as the betrothal gift. Otherwise, if he refused to marry their daughter and wanted to break off the engagement, he could do so by giving them ten taels. Weren’t they deliberately doing this? It’s so infuriating.”
Lu Ran’s face darkened. “What happened in the end?”
“In the end?”
Lu Sheng smiled disdainfully. “In the end, their family found a ‘good family’ and took the initiative to break off the engagement with Uncle.”
She emphasized the words ‘good family’.
Lu Ran nodded. “It’s better to get rid of such a family as soon as possible.”
They could harm anyone, but not their family.
“Uncle Da Ming came to borrow money today.”
“Lu Daming?” Lu Sheng frowned. “You gave it to him?”
“No.”
Lu Ran shook his head. “How would I not know what their family is like?”
Liang Ping would specially run to East City at times to tell him what had happened when Lu Sheng was at home. However, every time he heard that his sister could solve the problem, he did not return.
“Why did he want to borrow money?” Lu Sheng asked curiously.
“He said that Lu Chuan accidentally fell into a field pit two days ago when he was drunk and broke his bones.”
Lu Sheng smiled and did not speak further.
Chu Sihan and the rest came in the evening.
Coincidentally, they were going to Li Zheng’s house for dinner. Lu Sheng had no choice but to let Lu Ran bring the two children there while she stayed behind.
However, the two children were unwilling to go if she wasn’t going.
Although Lu Ran’s attitude towards them had improved a lot, their fear towards him did not decrease much.
In the end, Lu Ran was the only one who went.
Initially, Lu Ran was unwilling to go too. However, Tao Jia personally came to call for him. He had no choice but to go over.
Lu Sheng could only let Chu Sihan and the rest sit and drink tea first. Then, she prepared dinner for herself and the two children.
As the three of them had already eaten, Lu Sheng could only cook egg fried rice with the rice that was left over from lunch.
