Chapter 304 Your Fourth Aunt is in Trouble

Shu Yu nodded and sat down under the eaves.

I had just taken a couple of sips of water when Lu Dasong and Da Niu returned.

Upon seeing Shu Yu, the two were taken aback. "What brings you here, Shu Yu?"

"I came back to get something." Shu Yu stood up. "I heard from Lan Hua that Uncle San's two acres of land are going to be rented out? What's the deal?"

Lu Dasong sighed and shook his head.

Da Niu had already brought out a basin of water, wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief, and said vaguely, "Third Uncle's fields aren't very good, and the other party is trying to lower the rent, so we didn't agree."

Given Lu Sanzhu's character, it would be strange if he could farm well, as he would only cast his net for three days and fish for two.

Although he said before he left that it didn't matter if the rent wasn't high.

But Lu Dasong, as the eldest brother, was still unwilling to let his younger brother suffer too much.

Lu Dasong had also washed his face. "I'm thinking that Da Niu and I should go and tidy up his field in the next couple of days. If it looks neater, the rent can be increased."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li came out.

"You're even helping them with their fields? You're really meddling in things that don't concern you. They're all enjoying their lives in the city, and they don't even care about themselves, but you're so concerned. We have so many things to do at home, and I haven't seen you think about them properly."

Lu Dasong frowned. Li's unbridled behavior in front of his niece was making him lose face.

His face immediately darkened. "What nonsense are you spouting? It's just a little tidying up, it won't take half a day, what's there to fuss about? When your brothers needed help, didn't I just grab a hoe and go without saying a word?"

“My brothers on my mother’s side are always there for us, and they come over when we’re busy. But what about your two younger brothers? When have they ever been able to help you? They only come to you when they’re in trouble, but they never think of you when there’s something good to be had.”

"You're being completely unreasonable." Didn't the third brother almost drown while trying to help Lan Hua? When the second brother's leg was better, he helped them a lot, and he did a lot of the carpentry work around the house.

Just because she didn't help with the farm work, does she feel inferior to her brothers from her maternal family?

"I'm being unreasonable; it's you who's biased," Li said, growing increasingly angry.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Shu Yu quickly stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, why don't you two discuss this slowly? I'll be leaving now."

An awkward expression flashed across Lu Dasong's face, "Ah Yu..."

Just as he was about to say something, someone suddenly banged on the courtyard gate.

Da Niu was standing nearby, so I quickly went over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a woman from the same village slapped her thigh and gasped for breath, saying, "Da Song, something's happened! Something's happened to your fourth sister! You'd better go and see her quickly!"

Shu Yu's expression changed slightly. Had something really happened? Could Hu Li be referring to this?

She strode forward and stood in front of the woman, asking, "What happened to my fourth aunt?"

The woman was taken aback when she saw her, and then said, "The people from the yamen have come to Daxu Village to arrest Sixing, and now the whole Yuan family is in chaos."

"What?"

The Lu family was all taken aback, and even Madam Li dared not say anything more.

Shu Yu immediately walked out, and Da Niu followed closely behind.

Lu Dasong and Lan Hua were a step behind, but they hurriedly caught up.

Li called out twice from behind, but couldn't get the person back. She could only stomp her feet, lock the door, and chase after them.

The woman from the same village hadn't even finished speaking when the whole family disappeared. She could only sigh and turn to talk to someone else.
