Chapter 748: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 748: Reply from Home
Meng Yunzheng smiled, thinking that Shu Yu had forgotten about this amidst the joy of being with her family.
Seeing that the others from the Lu family were also curious, he didn't keep them in suspense and took out a letter from his sleeve.
"The reply from Jiangyuan County."
The Lu family members were taken aback and exclaimed, "A reply?"
The first one to step forward was Old Madam Lu, who eagerly took the letter from Meng Yunzheng's hand. However, when she touched it, her eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
This... it was too thick!
Meng Yunzheng explained, "I received this letter in the morning. Originally, I was planning to deliver it to Uncle Lu, but he came here first and asked if I wanted to come to Zhengdao Village. I thought it would be better to open it here together."
Old Madam Lu happily said without even looking up, "Thank you, thank you."
She couldn't wait and immediately tore open the letter. But then she remembered that she only recognized a few characters with the help of Da Hu, so she handed the letter to Shu Yu beside her and said, "You read it, you read it. See what it says."
Shu Yu had just mentioned Da Niu's marriage with her family a few days ago, but she didn't expect to receive a letter from her hometown today.
She pulled out the thick stack of papers and quickly flipped through it without closely examining it. But she immediately felt a headache.
It was clear that this letter was not written by a single person; the handwriting on several sheets was different.
Most of the handwriting... was truly terrible.
Da Hu noticed it too and looked at the first page, tilting his head. "Is this written by Da Bao?"
"Definitely him," San Ya said with some disdain. "Even I write better than him. He definitely didn't practice his handwriting seriously."
Old Madam Lu sighed, looking quite worried. "Da Bao and Da Hu started studying around the same time, but his handwriting is so bad. Reading his letter is hard on the eyes."
Shu Yu couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, alright. Whether his handwriting is good or not, it's troubling Uncle and Aunt. Let's focus on the content first."
This was a family matter for the Lu family, so after Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi exchanged glances, they quietly left.
Shu Yu unfolded the first page and read, "'grandmother, it's Da Bao. I received your letter. You wrote so much that I couldn't recognize many characters, and it took me a long time to finish reading it. You still have so many questions, and I can't pronounce them. My father even scolded me...'"
Right from the beginning, it was a bunch of complaints, leaving the other Lu family members silent for a moment.
No wonder this letter was so... thick.
After venting his grievances, Da Bao finally got to the point. "Everything is fine at home. I'm studying hard now, so I can open my own restaurant in the future. The teacher often praises me."
After a brief mention of the main topic, he started bragging about himself.
Shu Yu rubbed her forehead. "Da Bao and Uncle are truly father and son."
She continued reading, "Recently, something wonderful happened in our family. My father got a raise. Although he hasn't become a steward yet, his salary increased by 100 wen. Now I can eat meat twice more in a month. These characters are too difficult to write, sob sob, I can't write them, and my father scolded me again."
There were faint traces of smudging on the letter, as if Da Bao had cried.
Shu Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for the child. It was quite sympathetic.
Forcing someone who had only been studying for a few months to write such a long letter was indeed too much for him.
