Chapter 1837 With Family Backing Her Up

After crying for a while, the old lady slammed her fist on the table again and said through gritted teeth, "Chen Bing is a beast worse than a pig or a dog. Our Fang family was really blind to have fallen for him. He looks honest on the surface, but he's a treacherous villain with a heart full of evil. He made my sister suffer for so many years, and I will never let him get away with this."

Shu Yu chimed in, "That's right, that's right. He was so audacious because Auntie didn't have any family around her before. Now that our family is here, we're definitely going to settle accounts with him."

The old lady nodded emphatically, "That's right." Even if the Lu family were still struggling to make ends meet, let alone now that they're doing well, she would still bring her two sons to their doorstep.

After scolding Chen Bing, the old lady couldn't help but wipe away her tears again.

Shu Yu comforted her, "Fortunately, your great-aunt has finally overcome her hardships and reunited with us. She has also adopted a filial grandson, so her future will definitely be smooth sailing."

"Yes, yes, what's this about Yuan Gui you just mentioned? Tell me about it."

Shu Yu was afraid that her aunt would remain immersed in her great-aunt's sorrow, so she picked out happy things to tell her. She talked about Yuan Gui, the village chief and villagers of Hedeng Village, and Grandma Guan. These stories about the people she told her great-aunt made the old lady feel somewhat at ease.

Once the old lady calmed down, Shu Yu helped her to bed to rest.

After staying in the room for a while, seeing that the old lady had fallen asleep, Shu Yu tiptoed out and closed the door.

As soon as she turned around, she let out a long breath.

As Shu Yu left the courtyard, she ran into Meng Pei, who was rushing back from outside.

Upon seeing Shu Yu, Meng Pei quickly asked, "I heard your grandmother and your father are here?"

"Yes, I'm resting inside."

"Then let them get some rest," Meng Pei said happily. "We'll have a welcome dinner for them tonight. Just now, I ran into a farmer who sells beef, and I asked him to save a few pounds for me. I'll go get them in a bit."

These days, beef is scarce. Cattle are excellent at farming and are considered precious; they cannot be slaughtered casually.

Unless the ox is too old to walk or something unexpected happens, it is not allowed to be sold. Even then, it must be registered with the government first.

Shu Yu has been here for so long, but has only eaten beef once, so she's been craving it a bit.

After Meng Pei finished speaking, he turned around and hurriedly left the escort agency.

Shu Yu shook her head with a chuckle and turned to find Ying Xi. Ying Xi and her brother Ying Dong had gone off to talk earlier, and she went to find Ying Xi to ask about the journey.

The journey was peaceful and uneventful, and I even encountered a few interesting things.

However, the closer they got to Changjin Prefecture, the more information they received about the rebellion in Chenggu County. Therefore, the Lu family heard a great deal along the way, including many exaggerated accounts.

If the old lady and Lu Erbai hadn't been to the Southwest and witnessed these things, knowing that much of it was exaggerated, they wouldn't have been so calm.

Knowing what was going on, Shu Yu went to find Uncle Meng. The Lu family had arrived suddenly and wouldn't be leaving anytime soon; they would definitely be keeping the Meng family occupied for a while.

Uncle Meng didn't take it to heart. When Meng Han went to Jiangyuan County, it was the Lu family who took care of her. They made the little girl so happy that she didn't want to come back.

Now that the Lu family has come, Uncle Meng is hoping they'll stay a little longer so he can fulfill his duty as a host.
