When Zhou Lijun figured out what happened, her eyes lit up upon looking at Manbao, and then she ran down to share the good news with Fifth Uncle and the others.
Zhou Wulang and his brothers were all very happy, and after their initial joy, they felt a pang of regret, "It would have been nice if our younger uncle was still alive; our family would have become officials."
Zhou Liulang glanced at the meat on the chopping board and said, "Lijun, go tell Manbao that we'll treat them to this meal."
Zhou Lijun replied, "My aunt said it's not necessary. Bai Shan is paying, we just need to give a discount."
Zhou Wulang, who was always concerned about money, then said, "Then let's save, and buy more vegetables and meat tomorrow to celebrate."
He sighed, "It's hard to earn a little money, only to spend it all. I reckon Manbao doesn't have much money either. When Fourth Brother comes back, how will I explain it to him?"
