บท 173: Chapter 173 Visiting to catch the autumn breeze

Wufu disliked Madam Lu and her family. How could Madam Zhou, as a mother, not understand that? She wished to maintain a good relationship with her maternal family. It was better than treating them like enemies, especially since only she and her daughter relied on each other, without any support. The presence of her maternal family was somewhat comforting.

But given Wufu's attitude, Madam Zhou dared not insist. She was afraid that if Wufu became stubborn, things might get out of hand.

"Wufu, what's the deal with that boy?" Madam Zhou seized a moment to ask about Liu Jin.

After thinking for a bit, Wufu spoke lightly about Liu Jin's situation and said, "We don't have a man in the house, and since he's willing, let's keep him. He can help with what he can."

When Madam Zhou heard it cost twenty taels to take the boy in, she felt a twinge of pain. The child treated silver as if it weren't money. Twenty taels could support them for a year.
