The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 748: Chapter 748: Reply from Hometown Chapter 748: Chapter 748: Reply from Hometown Meng Yunzheng smiled. He had thought she was having such a good time with her family that she had forgotten all about it.

Seeing that the other members of the Lu family were also looking over, he no longer kept them in suspense and pulled a letter from his sleeve.

“A reply from Jiangyuan County.”

The Lu family members were taken aback before exclaiming, “A reply?”

The old lady was the first to step forward, eagerly taking the letter from Meng Yunzheng’s hand, but as soon as she touched it, her eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.

Wasn’t this too thick?

Meng Yunzheng explained, “I received this letter this morning and was going to take it to Uncle Lu’s house, but he came to find me first, saying he wanted to visit Righteous Dao Village and asked if I wanted to come along. I thought I might as well take it out here, so we could all look at it together.”

The old lady, cheerful and without looking up, said, “Thank you, thank you.”

She then couldn’t wait to tear open the letter and only afterward remembered that she barely knew a few characters, just like Dahu did. So, she handed the letter to Shu Yu next to her, “You read it, you check what’s written inside.”

Shu Yu and the old lady had just been discussing Daniu’s marriage prospects a few days ago, and now, unexpectedly, they had received a letter from their hometown.

She pulled out a thick stack of papers, and without a chance to look closely, just flipped through them briefly and felt a toothache coming on.

The letter was clearly written by more than one person as several pages had different handwriting.

Most of the handwriting… was truly very ugly.

Dahu also caught sight of it and tilted his head towards the first page, “Is this written by Dabao?”

“It must be him,” Sanya said with some disdain. “I write better than him. He definitely hasn’t been practicing his writing.”

The old lady sighed, looking very troubled, “Dabao and Dahu have been studying for a similar length of time, but this handwriting is too ugly. Reading his letter is straining to the eyes.”

Shu Yu couldn’t help but laugh out softly, “Alright, alright, whether he writes well or not is for Third Uncle and Aunt to worry about. Let’s focus on the content.”

This was a family matter for the Lu family. Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi exchanged glances and then discretely left.

Shu Yu unfolded the first piece of paper, “Grandmother, it’s Dabao. I received the letter. You wrote so much, I barely recognized any characters, and it took me a long time to finish reading it. You all had so many questions, I couldn’t make them out, and my dad even hit me…”

Just from the start, it was a litany of grievances that silenced the other members of the Lu family.

No wonder the letter was so… thick.

After complaining for a bit, Dabao finally got to the point, “Everything is well at home. I’m studying really hard now so I can run my own restaurant in the future. The teacher often praises me.”

After speaking one sentence on the main subject, he began to boast again.

Shu Yu rubbed her temples, “Dabao and Third Uncle really are true father and son.”

She continued reading, “Recently, something great happened at home; my dad received a raise. Although he hasn’t become the steward yet, his wages increased by a hundred coins. I’ll be able to eat meat two more times a month from now. These few characters are too difficult to write… whimper, I can’t write them, and my dad hit me again.”

On the paper, there were faint marks that had bled through, unsure if they were tear stains of Dabao.

Shu Yu inexplicably felt sorry for the child, feeling some sympathy for Dabao.

Making someone who has only been studying for a few months write such a long letter was indeed too much for him.
