Throughout the years, they have always rembered their grandfather’s teachings; even when life was hard, they never did anything against their conscience.
Now, more than ever, they cannot bully a young and kind-hearted girl.
Otherwise, how would they be any different from beasts?
After being reprimanded, Lu Er’s face turned very sour.
Yet, after hearing his elder brother’s scolding, he reluctantly extended his hands and returned the money he had just received from An Ning.
It wasn’t because he was unwilling to part with the money, but because he cared about his brother’s health.
Although his elder brother had woken up, his body was still weak, and their ho was barren.
Without dicine or rice, even a healthy person wouldn’t last long, let alone soone like his elder brother, who had suffered from illness for so long.
Lu Er was truly worried.
Although An Ning was a bit unwilling at first to give the money, seeing that these two brothers weren’t greedy, she finally felt at ease.
Turning her head, An Ning looked at Lu Family’s elder brother, "You should keep this money. Taking care of your health is more important than anything. If you feel uneasy, consider it a loan from , and pay it back when you can."
Of course, the suggestion to repay was just to ease their ntal burden.
According to Tutu, there were six brothers in this household. The one lying in bed was the eldest, who seed no older than sixteen or seventeen, and the youngest, Little Liuzi, was only about five or six years old.
For this family, managing not to starve was already a challenge, and An Ning didn’t expect them to repay the money at all.
Lu Family’s elder brother was visibly hesitant. Seeing his elder brother’s expression, Lu Er beca anxious, "Big brother, the young lady is right. Consider it a loan, and when we earn money, we can repay it with interest. But for now, your health is the most important. Our family relies on you, and if you fall, what will happen to Xiaowu and Little Liu? They’re still so young."
Lu Family’s elder brother, who was already hesitating, was reminded of his younger brothers after Lu Er’s words.
The second brother, being a frail scholar, had a weak constitution from a young age. Although he could earn money by writing letters for others, the few copper coins he made each day couldn’t support the younger brothers.
The third was only thirteen, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth were just little kids. If he were gone, they would be left without a path.
Having thought it through, Lu Family’s elder brother turned and looked at An Ning with seriousness, but his words were directed at Lu Er, "Second brother, co help up."
"Big brother..." Lu Er didn’t know what his elder brother intended, so he inquired.
Lu Family’s elder brother didn’t explain but insisted, "Co and help up."
When Lu Er ca to help him stand, he knelt directly before An Ning.
"Hey, what are you doing..." An Ning was startled and quickly moved to help him up.
However, Lu Family’s elder brother refused to rise, "Today, Lu Xiu thanks the young lady for saving my life. I have no way to repay your great kindness and virtue. Please, young lady, tell your na, so that in the future, Lu Xiu can personally co to repay the money and express gratitude once more for your kindness."
"That’s not necessary, really, I..."
Lu Xiu: "If the young lady does not give her na, then Lu Xiu absolutely cannot accept this money."
An Ning: "..."
