Chapter 2402 Arriving Home Before the New Year

Shu Quan knew that this was also a way for his fourth sister and brother-in-law to repay the kindness he had shown him yesterday.

What he didn't expect was that Shu Yu, the employer, would actually agree to let his fourth sister and the others receive an advance of six months' wages.

Shu Yu initially disagreed, but after Shu Zhao told her about Shu Quan's visit to them, Shu Yu was genuinely impressed with Shu Quan.

Since it was just an advance on wages, she agreed.

The rest of the journey was both peaceful and lively. After Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng got married, they were so busy with all sorts of things that they had no free time.

They were traveling like tourists, almost like they were on their honeymoon.

Seeing their expressions, the others didn't disturb them. Only Zhao Xi was provoked by the two of them and was extremely impatient to go back and see his wife and son.

As the weather grew colder, the carriage moved more slowly.

Therefore, by the time the caravan arrived in Dong'an Prefecture, there were only three days left until the Lunar New Year.

Shu Yu exhaled a puff of white breath and said to the Xu and Fang families, "The New Year is almost here. Let's wait until after the New Year before we leave. It's not as festive to celebrate the New Year on the road."

"OK."

As for Shu Quan and the others, they were also to stay in Dong'an Prefecture, but they were not considered Shu Yu's guests.

However, they had lived in Dong'an Prefecture for many years before. When Shu Quan was a young master, he was generous and had many friends. Even though they no longer associated with him after the downfall of the Shu family, there should still be one or two who were loyal to him.

After the New Year, they will set off together with the Xu and Fang families.

Therefore, they separated from Shu Yu's caravan when they were in the prefectural city.

Returning to Jiangyuan County, Shu Yu felt a sense of groundedness once again; this must be the warmth of home.

The New Year is approaching, and the streets are bustling with activity these days. Every household is going to the market, and the horse-drawn carriage struggles to cross the long street, slowly arriving at Fenghuai Street.

Red lanterns have been hung in every household on Fenghuai Street. Lu Erbai has also stopped working in his shop and is directing his servants to put up couplets at the door.

When several carriages stopped in front of his house, he realized what was happening. He turned around and saw Meng Yunzheng helping Shu Yu down from the carriage.

Lu Erbai was immediately overjoyed, "Ayu, you, you're back?"

"It's not just us, Dad, look who else has come?"

Lu Erbai had seen Ma Lu and the others before, so he recognized them. He was quite surprised at first, but quickly smiled and said, "Welcome, distinguished guests! Come in, it's cold outside. Come inside and warm up by the fire. Let's talk slowly."

After saying that, she called inside, "Mother, Ayu and the others are back."

Zhao Xi couldn't wait any longer and rushed in first, shouting, "Where's my wife? Where's Xiao Huo Huo?"

When Shu Yu and the others entered, the old lady had already been helped out by Madam Ruan.

"Oh, you're finally back! It's been more than half a year since you left. We were just saying that you'd probably be spending the Lunar New Year away from home again, but here you are!"

As she spoke, she looked at Fang Xiyue and Lin Shi, her eyes also filled with surprise.

Shu Yu helped her walk inside, saying, "A lot has happened in the Southwest. Now the Xu and Fang families are no longer criminals. They're going to the capital this time, and they'll be traveling with me. It's almost Chinese New Year, so I invited them to come over and have some fun."

"Welcome, welcome." The old lady was very happy and welcomed everyone into the house to warm themselves by the fire.
