Liang Shi gently touched the small bun on Bao Ya's head and smiled, "You're such a good girl. Come, let's go find your grandma."
Bao Ya trotted along with her short legs, following closely beside Liang Shi.
As Liang Shi and her daughter entered the shop, the old lady was in conversation with Lu Erbai. She was still pondering over Tang Wenqian's strange behavior earlier. "Erbai, why do you think Tang Xiucai suddenly asked so many detailed questions about Ah Yu's matters?"
Lu Erbai hesitated before replying, "Maybe... one thing led to another in the conversation?"
"I don't think so." The old lady shook her head. "You see, could it be that Tang Xiucai has an interest in Ah Yu? That's why he came over today with his daughter, wanting to meet Ah Yu and consider the situation. But when he heard that Ah Yu wasn't here, he seemed disappointed."
Lu Erbai shook his head. "It can't be. It doesn't seem like it."
"Why not? Our Ah Yu is intelligent and beautiful, one of a kind in Shishi Village. Tang Xiucai is quite good too, but his mother isn't easy to get along with. If Ah Yu marries into their family, she might face difficulties. Besides, they don't have much money, and Ah Yu would have to serve her in-laws, doing laundry and cooking. It would be too hard for her."
Lu Erbai chuckled. "Mother, you're thinking too far ahead."
"Is it too far-fetched? Ah Yu is now fourteen, and in half a year, she'll be fifteen. It's about time to talk about marriage." The old lady, who was previously unconcerned, now began to take it seriously. "Actually, I quite like that Meng Gongzi. He's both talented and good-looking. It's a pity he has a throat injury and can't speak. It would be great if it could be cured."
Lu Erbai was at a loss for words. His mother was really getting carried away.
Just at that moment, Liang Shi and Bao Ya entered.
As soon as the old lady saw her, she immediately stopped talking. Liang Shi had a big mouth, and if she spread rumors outside, it would tarnish Ah Yu's reputation.
The old lady frowned at her. "What are you doing here? And why did you bring Bao Ya with you? It's such a long way, can't you spare her short legs from the trouble?"
"Mother, Bao Ya is my daughter. Of course, I care about her. I carried her all the way here," Liang Shi replied.
The old lady coldly snorted, not believing her. She asked Bao Ya to come over and gave her some pastries to eat.
Bao Ya immediately sat obediently in a chair, stuffing the pastries into her mouth contentedly.
Liang Shi gave her a signal to follow the plan. But as soon as the little girl had food in front of her, she completely ignored the matter at hand and didn't even raise her head to look at Liang Shi.
Liang Shi was almost speechless. This unreliable little brat only knew how to eat, but where did the food come from if there was no money?
Her fierce expression was too obvious, and the old lady, not being blind, naturally noticed.
She glared at Liang Shi and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you bothering the child?"
"Mother, I didn't—"
"Just spit it out. I don't want to hear your excuses."
Liang Shi felt wronged and, after a moment, she approached with a smile. "Mother, Sanzhu was paid of his wages the day before yesterday."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Yes, it is. He has received wages for the second time, and last month he helped a young master find a lost jade pendant. The young master generously rewarded him with two taels of silver. This month, he brought back a whole two taels."
The old lady's eyes lit up. "So, Sanzhu didn't covet that jade pendant."
Liang Shi remained silent. Truly, mother understood her own son.
