Does Lu Ran not know what "young" means?

If his nephew is already twenty, how could this Lord Chu still be young?

The dishes quickly arrived on the table. Even Lu Jiang and Lu Xin, whose stomachs were full because they had eaten earlier, gnawed on a drumstick each.

Lu Ran also ate a few pieces of meat.

Lu Sheng, who was already full, looked at Chu Sihan who was wiping his mouth elegantly. She wanted to say something, but stopped.

"Miss Lu, what do you want to ask?"

Chu Sihan calmly looked at her and asked.

"Well… You know about the engagement between your uncle and I, right?"

"Yes." He nodded.

"Is your uncle a widower?"

Otherwise, why could he not find a wife?

Cough! Cough!

Before Chu Sihan could speak, Lu Ran choked and his face turned red.

Chu Sihan said, "No…"

He had never even married before. How could he be a widower?

"Then, why can't the mighty county magistrate find a wife?" Lu Sheng pouted. "Could he be that he's an immoral person?"

Chu Sihan thought that this was getting more and more ridiculous.

Lu Ran, who had just stopped coughing, became speechless.

"Mr. Chu, please don't mind her. My sister is just spouting nonsense. Please don't tell Lord Chu!"

Doesn't she know that trouble often comes out of one's mouth?

"It's alright."

After a moment of silence, Chu Sihan suddenly replied.

"But I'll tell you that I won't marry your uncle."

As Lu Sheng spoke, she cupped her face and said with a smile, "Only a handsome young man like you can match up to my beauty."

"Is that so?" Chu Sihan ambiguously chuckled.

Lu Ran held onto his forehead.

His sister was not like this in the past.

This must not be my sister!

After Chu Sihan and the rest bade them farewell, the siblings bought some things on the street and returned to the village.

The first thing Lu Sheng did after reaching home was water the plants in the garden.

"Lu Sheng?"

A woman carrying a basket outside the fence snuck her head in and asked.

"Yes!"

Lu Sheng placed her wooden bucket down, briskly walked over, and asked, "Why are you looking for me, Aunt Lian?"

Lu Sheng knew from this body's memory that this woman was called Madam Lian. She was from the same village, An Mu Village, as Madam He, and they had both married to men from Liu Yue Village.

"It's really you!"

As Madam Lian stared at Lu Sheng's face, she revealed a surprised expression.

She passed the basket to Lu Sheng and said, "Your grandma asked me to give these to you. And this."

When Lu Sheng took the basket and peered inside, she saw that it was filled with eggs.

After a while, Madam Lian whipped out a purse and passed it to her.

"This contains a few silver taels. Your grandma heard of what happened at your home, but she can't personally come because her legs are weak and your uncle is not at home. She could only ask me to tell you to lead a good life, and let those bastards be locked up in jail."

Lu Sheng only remembered that the owner of her body had a grandma and an uncle after Madam Lian mentioned them.

However, their lives were quite difficult too. These few silver taels were probably the savings the He Family had painstakingly accumulated.

Her uncle was already twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, yet was still single.

It was probably because he was too poor.

"Madam Shen, why are you here?"

Lu Ran, who had just returned the oxcart, suspiciously looked at Madam Lian.

Although they were from the same village, their houses were quite far apart.

"It's Lu Ran!" Madam Lian smiled and said, "I just came back from An Mu Village, and your grandma told me to bring some things for you."

Lu Ran frowned. "Why is Grandma doing this? We won't starve to death even if she doesn't send anything to us!"

The other side of the family was already struggling, yet they were still worried for them.

Madam Lian softly sighed. "Your grandma adores you. If her legs weren't weak, she might have personally come."
