Chapter 302 Returning to Shangshi Village

Shu Yu stood there, stunned.

What do you mean? Are you telling her to go back to the village and see what happened in Shangshi Village?

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lu Sanzhu, the most troublesome guy, hadn't he already arrived in the county town?

Lu Sanzhu felt uneasy under her gaze and couldn't help but take a step back. "W-what are you doing?"

Shu Yu frowned as she left the county government office, asking him as she walked towards Liufang Lane, "Did anything happen in the village when you left today?"

Lu Sanzhu immediately shook his head, "No."

"Think about it carefully."

Lu Sanzhu tugged at his hair, thought about it carefully, and still shook his head. "Really, no. I was walking around the village this morning, telling those people who usually look down on me that I've found a job and will be moving to the county town soon. Those people were so jealous of me and said a lot of sarcastic things. I also went to Village Chief Fan's house, and he barely spoke a few words to me, and didn't mention anything about what happened in the village."

Shu Yu believed this, but Hu Li certainly wouldn't have said those words without reason.

She felt that something was happening in the village, and that it was related to her family, otherwise Hu Li wouldn't have reminded her.

Infected by her emotions, Lu Sanzhu couldn't help but worry, "Could something really have happened? Then, shall we go back to the village now and check?"

Shu Yu shook her head. "The city gates are all closed now, we can't get out." When they came out to buy gifts, it was already late afternoon, and by now the gifts had all been given out, the city gates were almost closed.

"Tomorrow, I'll go back and check first thing tomorrow morning."

“Then I…” Lu Sanzhu scratched his head; he had to go to work tomorrow.

"You don't need to go. It's your first day on the job, so don't be late."

Lu Sanzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and Shu Yu then instructed him, "Don't go around telling everyone about this when you get home. I'll go back to the village tomorrow to find out what's going on before I say anything."

"All right."

After exchanging a few words, the two soon arrived at Liufang Lane.

The old lady had already prepared dinner. Although she had always looked down on her third son's family, she was still very happy that her son had found stable work, and she had also received two taels of silver as a retirement allowance.

So the old lady was unusually generous this time, and cooked a table full of delicious dishes, and weighed out... half a pound of meat, for the third son's family.

Lu Sanzhu ate with gusto, but in his heart he was already planning to come here often for meals, never imagining that the peach grove where he worked was so... far away from here.

The Lu family of four didn't linger after finishing their meal. Before it got completely dark, they leisurely returned to Yiren Pavilion to rest.

Shu Yu was thinking about going back to Shangshi Village the next day, so she went to bed early.

The next day, Shu Yu said she needed to go back to the village to get some things.

The old lady was quite puzzled. She had already moved everything she needed to bring when she came to the county town, so why was there anything else?

However, she didn't ask any more questions. Actually, after being away for a while, she was thinking of going back to the village to visit.

Unfortunately, she's very busy right now, making doll covers, so she won't be going for the time being.

Shu Yu drove the mule cart alone straight to Shangshi Village.

However, upon entering the village, she found that Shangshi Village was very peaceful, and it didn't seem like anything had happened at all.

Shu Yu tied the mule cart to the front door of his house and turned to go to Lu Dasong's house.

Before even entering the door, Lan Hua's voice suddenly burst out from inside, "Mother, stop talking. No matter how bad Uncle is, he still saved me."
