Chapter 49: Please Help

“You’ve become a lot more cheerful.”

Liang Ping, who had scooped the porridge for them, smiled at Lu Sheng.

In the past, Lu Sheng would even speak softly to them, as if she was afraid of offending them.

“People have to change.” Aunt Yu smiled. “Didn’t you like to cry a lot when you were young? You could cry for the whole day if you couldn’t get the chicken head. Does that mean you don’t like to cry anymore when you grow up?”

Mdm Chen and Lu Sheng looked at each other. Then, they lowered their heads and secretly laughed at the same time.

“Come, have some buns. Two for the adults and one for the children.”

After Lu Sheng distributed the meat buns, everyone thanked her with a smile.

Seeing that she only took one, Mdm Chen hurriedly placed another one back into her bowl.

“I have a small appet.i.te, so a bun to go with my porridge will do.”

Lu Sheng smiled and gave it back to her. “I’ve eaten this in town. I’m sick of it now.”

Mdm Chen looked at her helplessly and did not decline further.

Ah Jiang said, “Sister, this beef jerky smells so good. I still want to eat it tomorrow!”

Liang Ping nodded. “It does smell good!”

Lu Sheng said, “Brother Liang, if you like them, I can get some slices for you to drink with alcohol later.”

Without waiting for Liang Ping to speak, Aunt Yu replied, “He doesn’t drink. Keep it for yourself.”

Lu Sheng smiled and did not say anything else. However, she made a mental note to do so.

After filling her stomach, Lu Sheng cleaned the bowls and chopsticks and brought the two children home.

The first thing she did when she reached home was to send Liang Ping some beef jerky.

Unable to refuse, Aunt Yu had no choice but to accept it.

Night descended quickly.

Insects chirped in the gra.s.s, appearing rather noisy in the silent night.

Lu Sheng had always been a light sleeper. Hearing this voice, she could not fall asleep.

She got up and sat on a stool in the courtyard.

Aunt Yu’s voice could be heard from next door. Her voice was very soft. However, her hearing was good, so she could hear her words clearly.

“It’s not easy for Ah Sheng to bring up the two children alone. If you have nothing to do, you can go over and talk to her. With so many things happening in the Lu family, she might look calm on the surface but upset deep down.”

After a while, Lu Sheng could hear Mdm Chen’s gentle voice.

“I understand, Mother.”

Lu Sheng smiled. There was a saying that was right. A close neighbor was better than a distant relative.

Compared to Lu Daming and Mdm Liu’s so-called relatives, Aunt Yu and the rest were much better.

“Ah Ping, bring the wood in the courtyard back into the room. The insects are chirping so loudly. I think it’s going to rain tonight.”

“Yes, I’ll be there soon.”

Upon hearing the conversation next door, Lu Sheng hurried to bring the firewood in the courtyard to the kitchen as well.

The older generation had experience.

It was not long before the wind started blowing.

The moon, which was hanging high up in the sky just now, had already disappeared into the clouds.

After a while, there was no longer any light, and the sky was completely covered by dark clouds.

Lu Sheng had just returned to her room and laid down when she heard the pitter-patter of rain.

After a while, the rain became heavier and the room started to leak.

Thankfully, the wet spots were not on the bed.

As she listened to the rain, she fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up, it was already dawn.

She stood up, washed up, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

For breakfast, she cooked porridge, made a few omelets, and fried a small plate of beef jerky.

After feeding the two children breakfast, she headed to Li Zheng’s house.

“Why is Lu Sheng here?”

Li Zheng was squatting in the courtyard. He was surprised to see her.

Lu Sheng took out a bottle of wine from the s.p.a.ce Bracelet and pa.s.sed it to Li Zheng. She smiled and said, “I came here today to ask for your help.”
