Chapter 1355 Shu Yu Sends Two Letters

The Shu family had three carriages, plus the Meng family's and Zhao Xi's, making a total of five vehicles that almost surrounded the entire Lu family's residence.

Today, Da Niu's family, Cui Hua's family, and Lan Hua Er Niu and others are not going back to the county town.

Therefore, the carriage was very spacious. When it was time to set off, Shu Yu saw that the three younger sisters of the Zhou family were all crammed into their own narrow mule cart and had a hard time, so she let them come and sit in her own carriage.

The three little girls were overjoyed. Although they were a little reserved, Shu Yu's carriage was incredibly comfortable.

The Zhou family's village, He'er Village, is located between the county town and Shangshi Village. Shu Yu originally planned to drop them off at home and then leave.

As a result, Zhou's father felt that since his in-laws had come all this way, they should at least have some tea before leaving, otherwise it wouldn't be right.

So Shu Yu's carriage stopped briefly in He'er Village. The others went back first, leaving only her, the old lady, and Ying Xi, who was acting as the driver, in the carriage.

This was Shu Yu's first time visiting the Zhou family. According to Da Niu, the Zhou family had originally lived a pretty good life, although they didn't get anything good when the family divided the property because they didn't have a son.

But with the Zhou family united, their lives got better and better.

But a few years ago, Zhou's mother passed away from illness, and most of the family's savings were gone, which made things difficult again.

Fortunately, things have recovered in the last few years, but the house is still the same old house, not very big, and somewhat dilapidated.

Shu Yu accepted the tea from Zhou Ermei and said thank you.

Zhou Ermei quickly waved her hand, looking very embarrassed, and went to the kitchen with a blush on her face.

Shu Yujiu, "..." She was only one year older than Zhou Ermei, but Zhou Ermei treated her like a junior facing an elder.

Suddenly, I felt a bit world-weary.

Shu Yu didn't linger at the Zhou family's house; she took a perfunctory sip of tea and then left.

This time, Zhou's father didn't stop them and watched them leave.

As soon as Shu Yu left, the neighbors who had been peeking around immediately gathered around to ask what was going on.

Zhou's father was not good with words, so he went back to his room to sleep, claiming that he was dizzy from drinking too much.

So everyone went to Zhou Lao Er and his wife again. Although Zhou Lao Er and his wife were envious and jealous of Zhou's father's family and wished that Zhou Qiao was not doing well, they would occasionally make sarcastic and cursing remarks.

But when facing outsiders, Aunt Zhou still smiled and said, "Oh dear, although the Lu family didn't have a big celebration, the food and drinks were top-notch. Otherwise, my husband and uncle wouldn't have drunk so much; they were just too happy. Seeing that Qiaoqiao is doing well, we're all relieved... I'm not exaggerating. Didn't you see that just now? That's Lady Lu. If she didn't value our Qiaoqiao, why would she personally escort us back?"

Aunt Zhou still knew she had to curry favor with Shu Yu, the village head, because if people knew the Lu family treated Zhou Qiao well, their second branch of the family would also benefit.

Sure enough, everyone looked on with envy when they heard what Aunt Zhou said.

Shu Yu had already returned to the county town with the old lady.

As soon as she got home, she couldn't wait to write a letter to Qi Lie.

She explained her suspicions and the matter of the bead, and sent it out through the channels provided by Qi Lie.

Besides Qi Lie, she also wrote a letter to Meng Yunzheng.

Although he was about to take the prefectural examination, Shu Yu was worried that if the capital took action, it might affect those below. If Meng Yunzheng was unaware of anything, he might suffer the consequences.
