Tang's mother was so angry that her chest hurt. She sat in her chair and stomped her feet, wearing an expression as if she was about to cry.
Seeing that Tang Wenqian remained resolute, his mother stood up forcefully. "Fine, fine, go then! Let's go back to Jiangyuan County."
"Thank you for understanding, Mother."
Tang Wenqian's mother had no intention of understanding him at all. She glared at him fiercely, then walked heavily out of the door to discuss the matter of checking out with the landlord.
Tang Wenqian sighed and thought about the exiled procession he had witnessed earlier. His brows furrowed involuntarily, and he quickly began packing his things.
He had brought quite a few belongings for the exam, not just books, but also various utensils for eating and sleeping during the provincial examination.
By the time Tang's mother returned, Tang Wenqian had almost finished packing.
"Mother, you take care of the rest. I'll go to the city to rent a carriage."
Tang's mother went to her own room to pack her luggage. She didn't have much to pack, so she quickly finished and waited at the door for Tang Wenqian to return.
Tang Wenqian rented a donkey cart. They didn't have much money, so they naturally tried to save wherever possible.
If he passed this provincial examination, the county government, county school, and even the village would provide them with some financial assistance. That way, their family's situation would improve.
After loading their luggage onto the cart, Tang Wenqian bid farewell to the fellow examinees who lived in the same village.
The examinees were curious why he was leaving before the exam results were announced.
Tang Wenqian simply said that there was an urgent matter at home and he couldn't wait for the results, so he had to go back first.
After saying their goodbyes and exchanging a few more words, Tang Wenqian and his mother finally set off.
They rented a mule cart, which was slower and couldn't compare to a horse-drawn carriage in terms of speed.
A horse-drawn carriage would have arrived in Jiangyuan County by evening, but it took Tang Wenqian and his mother until the afternoon of the next day to finally enter the county town.
As soon as they entered the city, Tang Wenqian's mother asked him, "Are we going straight to the Lu family now?"
The second branch of the Lu family was now located in the county town, and they had no reason to go back home. So Tang Wenqian nodded and headed straight for Ning Shui Street.
He didn't know the address of Liufang Lane, but he knew the Yiren Pavilion on Ning Shui Street.
The mule cart stopped in front of the Yiren Pavilion, and Tang Wenqian took a deep breath before getting off with his mother.
Although the Yiren Pavilion had been open for more than two months, this was the first time that Tang Wenqian and his mother had come here.
Tang Wenqian managed to remain calm, but his mother's heart felt a pang of jealousy.
The most destitute family in Shishi Village used to be the second branch of the Lu family. But now, with the return of the second young miss, Lu Erbai's family had become the most promising family in Shishi Village.
Although the shop wasn't very large, it was located on Ning Shui Street, the most prosperous street in Jiangyuan County. It was difficult to even find a shop there. Even if this shop was located at the back, the business was still flourishing.
Tang Wenqian's mother looked at the decorations in the shop and the clothes hanging on the racks. She didn't even dare to touch them, fearing that they would be expensive, costing at least several hundred wen.
"Scholar Tang, Madam Tang, why have you come?" A voice of surprise came from behind the counter.
Tang Wenqian's mother turned her head and hadn't seen Lu Erbai for more than two months. Now, as she looked at the person in front of her, it seemed like a completely different person, momentarily stunning her.
Once a person had money, even their complexion changed. And looking at him standing there, it seemed like even his leg had healed?
Tang Wenqian's mother had been silent all this time, so Tang Wenqian naturally took a step forward and spoke, "Uncle Lu."
