Gu Dahuan listened to Tong Huaqiong's suggestion and planned to escort the Lu siblings to the prefecture city before resigning and returning home.
Thinking about living with his wife and daughter at home was indeed more tempting than three taels of silver each month.
"Alright, I'll listen to Mother. I'll go and tender my resignation to Mr. Lu now." Gu Dahuan swiftly stood up and thought, since he had decided to resign, the sooner he informed Mr. Lu, the better.
Lu Zhaoyang had already gotten up and casually picked up a book that belonged to Jingzhe to read.
Upon learning that Gu Dahuan intended to resign, he felt quite regretful and was willing to increase the monthly pay to four taels to keep him.
Gu Dahuan gritted his teeth and refused, stating the reason was to serve his widowed mother at home.
This reason made it hard for Lu Zhaoyang to deny him. He pondered for a moment, then invited Tong Huaqiong into the room.
