Lord Chu's Wife Is Wild Chapter 30 - Sun Hu's Visit

Chapter 30 - Sun Hu's Visit

After sending Madam Liu away, Lu Sheng pa.s.sed the silver taels to Lu Ran.

"Grandma gave these, but I still have a dozen silver taels. Brother, if you have nothing to do, go back to school and study."

"Where did you get the money from?" Lu Ran frowned.

Madam Liu managed the Lu Family's finances, and she had even embezzled Madam He's dowry, only leaving a jade bracelet for Lu Sheng.

Back when her grandfather was still alive, a rich man had given the jade bracelet to him as a gift of grat.i.tude for saving his life.

Lu Sheng said, "Father gave them to me before he left."

Lu Ran mockingly scoffed. "He still has some conscience left."

"So, will you go back to school and study?" Lu Sheng asked.

"I'll wait till next year. There's no one here now, and we can't just neglect the farmlands."

As Lu Ran spoke, he moved the things at the side to the kitchen.

"I can manage the farmlands!"

Lu Sheng followed him in and said, "Brother, don't worry. I'll take good care of them."

She was amazing at farming.

When she used to live in the mountains, she had farmed a few acres of land there by herself.

Of course, she had secretly looked for help when her Master was not around.

That help was the black clouds.

"You?"

Lu Ran chuckled. "You can take care of the farmlands?"

Although Lu Sheng regularly did household ch.o.r.es, she rarely farmed.

Even though she would help the family during harvesting, she was busy with the ch.o.r.es at home for the rest of the time.

"Of course!" Lu Sheng said, "Brother, just go and study. I can do it myself!"

It was Madam He and the owner's final wish that Lu Ran turn over a new leaf and study. She had to fulfill it for them.

Looking at her serious face, Lu Ran became a bit doubtful. "Are you sure?"

"Definitely!" Lu Sheng smiled. "Our farmlands aren't that big. I can manage them."

"Alright."

Since his sister was so eager for him to go back to study, he could not just brush off her goodwill.

He could come back to help out during his break.

"Is the money enough to pay for the school fees?"

Lu Sheng felt a bit troubled.

As she could not earn money yet, she did not know if the amount she had now was enough.

"It's enough." Lu Ran smiled and only took the six silver taels which Madam Lian had pa.s.sed to them. "Keep the rest for yourself."

"Are you sure?" Lu Sheng asked in an uncertain voice.

"It's more than enough!" Lu Ran laughed.

She nodded. "Okay, then. If it's not enough, tell me. Don't try to be tough."

As she looked up, she realized that the sun was already setting.

Lu Ran started busying himself in the kitchen, while Lu Sheng and the two younger siblings plucked the vegetables in the courtyard.

Suddenly, someone flung open the door of the courtyard. A few muscular and skinny teenagers walked in.

The teenager leading the pack had a blade of gra.s.s hanging from his mouth, and he looked like a hoodlum.

"Lu Ran! Is Lu Ran here?"

Lu Sheng lifted her head and indifferently stared at them.

"Oh?"

Sun Hu's eyes brightened. "Where did this beauty come from? You're prettier than Lu Ning."

When Lu Ran heard the commotion, he came out. His expression changed after hearing Sun Hu's words.

He strode forward and blocked Lu Sheng and the rest. With an icy-cold voice, he asked, "Sun Hu, why did you come here?"

Someone like Sun Hu was not even worthy of his sister's toe.

"This must be Lu Sheng." Sun Hu stroked his chin, longingly gazed at Lu Sheng, and said, "I heard that a scholar broke off his engagement with her, and the county magistrate also doesn't want to marry her."

"Brother Ran, since your sister's reputation is already ruined, why don't you give her to Brother Sun? Perhaps, he would be happy and reward you with some silver taels."

Someone standing at the side frivolously said.

"What did you say?"

Lu Ran's expression darkened, and he immediately kicked the teenager who had said so, sending him tumbling onto the ground.
