Chapter 2407: Grandma Has a Few Words to Say


Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, "You don't need to worry about this. Er Niu is studying now. According to Ah Yun, although his talent in academics may not be as good as Ah Rui's, with some effort, he can still become a top scholar before getting married. As a top scholar, even if he marries a girl from a wealthy family, she will likely be literate. As for the eldest aunt, she can't read a single character, so she both desires and worries about such a daughter-in-law."


Moreover, Er Niu is a reasonable and educated person, and with three older siblings as role models, he should be able to manage his own family without much interference from the eldest aunt.


As the two sisters were chatting, they saw Meng Yunzheng returning from outside.


"Awake?" He was holding dinner that he had brought on his way, probably meeting Ying Xi on the way.


Shu Yu touched her belly, and Shu You immediately cleared the table and went out, giving them a chance to talk privately.


Dinner was specially prepared for her, with small wontons and refreshing side dishes. After taking a few bites, Shu Yu felt comfortable and asked, "How are my sister-in-law and Xiao Songle doing?"


"Both of them are quite emotional. They felt a bit better after dinner. I had someone tidy up the room for them and let them rest. After all, they've just reunited, so a couple of days together will make things better."


As he spoke, he used a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.


"I went to the government office and had sister-in-law's household registration transferred here. Now she shares the same household registration with Xiao Songle."


Meng Yunzheng had everything under control, so Shu Yu didn't need to worry.


In fact, after she became pregnant, she didn't need to get involved in most matters, whether inside or outside the house.


She had planned to visit the workshop the next day, but before she could leave, the workshop supervisors who were on holiday had already come to report to her.


Shu Yu only needed to listen; she didn't have to worry about anything.


There were also accounts from Dong'an Prefecture, Changjin Prefecture, and several shops in the capital that had been sent over. When she looked at the number of characters on those accounts, Shu Yu couldn't help but laugh.


Compared to her leisure, Meng Yunzheng was much busier. Especially when the academy had just opened, he had gone to the southwest, and everything here was temporarily managed by Wen Fuzi.


Fortunately, the academy had just started, and the number of students was not large. Even if many students wanted to come and seek advice from Meng Yunzheng and the two great scholars, it was manageable, and most were still observing from afar.


Now that the academy was on vacation, the students had all gone home.


However, the two great scholars were planning to spend the New Year at the academy. After Meng Yunzheng's invitation for them to come to his house for the New Year's Eve dinner was rejected, he could only send New Year's gifts to show his respect.


But his busy time would only last for two days, and the New Year's Eve arrived quickly.


This year, at the request of the old lady, everyone gathered at the Lu family's house for the New Year's Eve dinner.


This included the three branches of the Lu family, Lu Sixing and her children, as well as the Zhao family, Meng family, and the guests like the Xu family and Fang family. The front hall of the Lu family had been set up with five or six tables, and everyone was in high spirits.


Grandma Lu sat in the main seat, looking at the joyous family gathering, and suddenly her eyes welled up with tears. She put down her chopsticks.


Shu Yu was sitting next to her and asked softly, "Grandma, what's wrong?"


"I'm just... happy."


As she spoke, Grandma Lu stood up with a wine glass in her hand. "Before we eat, I'd like to say a few words."


Everyone stopped what they were doing, and Shu You held down the playful little huohuo and looked up at Grandma Lu, who seemed to be full of emotion.
