Chapter 208 - 208: Shu Yu Goes to Ruan Family Village



Yesterday, all members of the Lu family went to the county to prepare for the opening of the shop. Even Lu Dasong and Lu Sanzhu went to the county dressed neatly with their wives.

This matter caused quite a stir. After Madam Liang and Lu Sanzhu returned, they spread the news that the new county magistrate had sent a congratulatory gift on the opening day.

The words of this couple had never been trustworthy, but since even the Lord and soldiers of the county office were involved, it was definitely true. After all, the two of them did not dare to spread rumors about such matters.

Therefore, the villagers of Shangshi Village finally realized what the return of Lu Erbai’s second daughter meant.

In the past, they only thought that the girl was fierce, but they did not expect her to be rich and even knew officers.

Many families in the village were filled with regret. If they had known earlier, they would have visited the Lu family when Shu Yu had just returned. Perhaps they could even have set a marriage between the families.

After all, Shu Yu was good-looking and had reached the age of marriage. Other than her unlikable personality, she was not bad.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late now. Wasn’t Shu Yu knocking on their doors now?

Seeing the villagers who had suddenly become enthusiastic towards her, Shu Yu suddenly regretted visiting them herself.

Fortunately, the old lady who was of high seniority was right with her. She pulled her granddaughter’s hand away from the woman before them and said, “Our shop is only short of skilled seamstresses for the time being. We don’t lack men now.”

Even if they were lacking, they would surely consider their own family first.

Couldn’t they see that her two sons and eldest grandson were all strong and capable people?

The woman sighed regretfully. Then, she wanted to say something more as if she had thought of something, but the old lady had already left with Shu Yu.

After a few more houses, the meat was all delivered.

The old lady was a little tired at this point. After all, she was old and had been busy for the past few days, plus the bumpy journey back. Shu Yu quickly brought her home and let her rest. Then, she went out herself.

The old lady asked curiously, “Where are you going?

“Didn’t Mom say that Aunty Xiang’s culinary skills are quite good? I’m going to take a look. If it’s possible, I’ll hire her.”

The old lady paused and hesitated.

Shu Yu smiled and said, “Grandma, don’t worry. Everyone in the Ruan Family Village is afraid of me.”

“I’m not worried about that.”

What she was worried about was that there was no business in the shop yet. If they hired people now, would they lose money?

That being said, she knew nothing about running a business, and Yu was a capable person, so the old lady did not say much. She only reminded her, “Be careful. Although Old Lady Ruan has temporarily stopped, it’s hard to guarantee that she won’t go crazy when she sees you. Try not to walk past their door.”

“I know.”

Shu Yu simply smiled and left with a few things.

Although the old lady had told her not to go to Old Lady Ruan’s house, Shu Yu could not help but want to go and take a look.

Ever since she had caused a ruckus at the Ruan family, she had not been to the Ruan Family Village. She wondered how the Ruan family was doing. After all, she had learned previously from Lu Sanzhu that half of the Ruan family’s residence had been torn down by the Yu family.

Shu Yu was thus… very curious.

It was the time when the sun was at its hottest. Most of the villagers in the Ruan Family Village were resting at home, waiting for the sun to not be so blinding before they went to work.

Therefore, the village was very quiet. Occasionally, there would be the barks of a few dogs while some children who could not rest were running around.

Shu Yu was wearing a straw hat that covered most of her face. No one could tell who she was.

She walked up to Old Madam Ruan’s door and looked up at the Ruan family..
