381 Alternative Comfort

“Fourth Sister-in-law, why are you sitting on the ground?” Madam Zhang followed Old Madam Wang and saw Liu Shi behind her. She hurriedly went forward to pull her up.

She even carefully brushed the dust off her back.

Liu Shi was so frightened that she could not speak for a moment.

“What an embarrassment! I told you to eat more for breakfast, but you insisted on staying there and even fainted from hunger. Madam Zhang, quickly help her into the room. I have a headache just looking at her.” Old Madam Wang’s tone was especially unhappy.

“Mother—” Liu Shi was a little hesitant.

“What are you waiting for? My words are useless, right?!” Old Madam Wang took a step forward. “Do you want me to personally help you over? Aren’t you afraid of cutting my lifespan!”

How could Madam Zhang dare to disobey Old Madam Wang? She immediately pulled Liu Shi’s arm and half carried her into the house.

Although she did not understand why her mother-in-law said that Fourth Sister-in-law had fainted from hunger, she only knew one thing—what her mother-in-law said must make sense. There was no need to think too much about it. Just listen.

Ye Yuncang looked at Liu Shi’s back and quickly retracted his gaze.

Old Madam Wang welcomed the group in.

After they sat down in the hall, Tang Yuan pulled the confused Little Ah Yu to the Yang Family Private School.

Little Ah Yu looked around. “Where’s Mother? She still has class this morning.”

Tang Yuan: “Fourth Madam is not feeling well. She said that she wants to rest for a while. Little Master, let’s go first.”

When she heard that her mother was not feeling well, Little Ah Yu was even more unwilling to leave. At least she had to take a look.

Tang Yuan was just lying casually. Knowing that she couldn’t hide the truth from her, she could only bring Little Ah Yu to Liu Shi’s room first.

Coincidentally, Liu Shi was lying in the house. Her face was pale as she said to Little Ah Yu, “Mother doesn’t feel too good now. I might just need to rest first. Don’t delay your studies. Go with Big Sister Tang Yuan. As for Teacher Yang, help me ask him for a day of leave. I’ll apologize to him tomorrow.”

“Then Mother, you have to rest well. I still have—” Little Ah Yu lowered her head and wanted to go to her bag to take out the Myriad Spirit Water.

The water this time was specially crafted last night. It was even better than ordinary Myriad Spirit Water. The main reason was that it would not suddenly cause diarrhea. It would only gently dispel the impurities in the body.

“There’s no need,” Liu Shi said. “It’s getting late. Go quickly and let the lamb accompany you.”

After the lamb grew up, it did not like to go out, especially since it was a little strong. When it stood up, it was as tall as a person. Some children on the street saw it and were afraid.

However, every time Little Ah Yu went out, the little lamb would still follow her from afar. Sometimes, it would stand in the alley beside the private school until Little Ah Yu finished class and silently guard her back.

“Oh, then Mother, I’ll come and see you after school.” Little Ah Yu turned around three times with every step. She was very worried about Mother, but her studies were also very important, so she could only go first.

There was still Grandma at home. In any case, with Grandma around, there was no need to worry about anything else.

Little Ah Yu and Tang Yuan went to the Yang Family Private School together. Just as they arrived at the entrance of the private school, they saw a familiar little girl.

The little girl’s face was filled with arrogance. She was wearing bright red clothes and a bright red cloak. There was a very exquisite hair bun on her head and two lifelike butterfly hair pins that swayed in the wind.

Because the little girl’s face was red, she looked a little festive. However, because of her insufferably arrogant expression, the effect was reduced by a little.

However, it could also attract the attention of many people around.

Other than Tang Yuan and Little Ah Yu, who had their own thoughts.

“Stop, can’t you see that I’m here?” The little girl pouted and placed her hands on her hips, looking at Little Ah Yu angrily.

Little Ah Yu turned around and looked at the little girl. “Little Sister, are you calling me?”

“Who else can I call if not you! You’re Wang Ruyu. I remember you. You actually forgot about me. Hmph!”

“I didn’t forget. You’re Zhang Xuyang’s sister. You were very rude in the past,” Little Ah Yu said.

That’s right, the little girl in front of her was Zhang Qiaosi. When Little Ah Yu first entered the Yang Family Private School, she had made things difficult for her on the streets.

At that time, Zhang Qiaosi was jealous that her Big Brother treated Little Ah Yu very well and wanted to bully her.

Later on, they went against the people from Shanyang Village who came to cause trouble for the Wang Family and beat them up. Some of them even had their legs broken.

At that time, the Zhang family was afraid that their Miss’ reputation would be damaged. As they dealt with the people from Shanyang Village who wanted to extort money, they secretly sent Zhang Qiaosi to another city to hide.

Now, she is back.

As soon as she returned, Zhang Qiaosi wanted to find trouble with Little Ah Yu. It was not that she hated her, but she felt that she had not finished what she had started back then. She felt uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, they met on the way.

She thought that this little girl from a farming family would definitely become more and more dim. She even specially put on her most gorgeous clothes and stole her mother’s jewelry.

In the end, Zhang Qiaosi was unhappy.

This Wang Ruyu was clearly only wearing ordinary cotton clothes, but her color was still a faint scarlet. It was not delicate at all.

There was only a simple hair tie on her head and two light green silk flower hair pins hanging on it. There was a small embroidered bag on her chest.

She was clearly dressed very simply and looked like a little village girl.

However, she looked especially cute.

Zhang Qiaosi clenched her fists and said to herself, “Zhang Qiaosi, this is someone who will snatch Big Brother from you. Don’t be deceived by her!”

She definitely could not think that she was cute. She had to bully her ruthlessly.

She wanted her to apologize to her? Hmph!

“The clothes you’re wearing today are really beautiful,” Little Ah Yu said sincerely. “They’re even better-looking than the last time I saw you.”

“Of course. This is a cloud brocade that my grandfather specially found for me. There aren’t any in the entire Yongding County, and there are only ten in Wangbei County.”

However, their family had yet to become officials through the Imperial Examination. Otherwise, she would be wearing real beautiful clothes.

Not like this cloud brocade. No matter how much it looked like a brocade, it was only similar.

When her Big Brother passed the exam in the future, she could wear better clothes.

Tang Yuan explained to Little Ah Yu what a cloud brocade was. In any case, if there were no scholars at home above the county scholar level, this was the best that a commoner could dress.

Although Tang Yuan’s status was not high, she had trained for a few years and had sharp ears and eyes. She remembered the words of the audience.

Now, she could even remind Little Ah Yu things from time to time.

“Our Second Uncle is already a county level scholar. Can I wear it now?” Little Ah Yu asked.

Tang Yuan: “Of course. You and the Second Master are in the same family. Since he became a county scholar and gained an honor for the family, the entire family can wear real brocade now.”

Although brocade was also divided into grades, it was much better than cloud brocades.

Originally, the two of them were talking, but Zhang Qiaosi heard them and started crying.

Zhang Xuyang was talking to Wang Liulang when he heard the familiar cries outside and hurriedly rushed out.

He saw his delicate sister crying again. Beside her was Little Ah Yu, taking out candy from her bag in a panic.

As she handed it to Zhang Qiaosi, she patted her back and comforted her. “It’s fine. I have seven Big Brothers. You can be my sister-in-law in the future. Choose one of the seven Big Brothers. As long as you come to our family, you can also wear brocade.”

Zhang Qiaosi, who was seven years old this year, stopped crying. Her eyes were bright. “Really?”

Zhang Xuyang: “…”

Wang Liulang: “…”

When did his sister go astray?
