Chapter 510 The Whole Family Came

Shu Yu was even more shocked after hearing what he said. The dish was obviously freshly made, still warm and hot.

so……

"My grandma and the others came too?"

No way? Could it be that the entire Lu family knows about her situation and has followed her here?

Lu Erbai nodded, "They're all worried. Ever since they found out you were exiled, they've cried several times. Lord Xiang assured us repeatedly that you'd be alright, but this is exile, how could we be so sure you'd be okay? We lost you fourteen years ago. Although you didn't say anything, we know you must have had a hard time. Even if that Shu family was originally the prefect's family, they must have treated you badly."

They all knew that if she were truly living a good life, as a proper young lady from the prefect's family, then she would have servants attending to her.

At least, she wouldn't have become so independent and strong-willed, wouldn't have cooked, wouldn't have adapted to their dilapidated house, and wouldn't have never mentioned the prefect's parents.

Although they hadn't spent much time with Ayu, she accepted them very quickly. They didn't do anything special, and they even needed her help. They simply tried their best to be kind to her, even if it was limited. But because of this small amount of warmth, Ayu was exceptionally tolerant of them and considerate of them.

This shows that she had never experienced this kind of affection before, which is why she accepted them so quickly.

They felt miserable just thinking about how they were living in the prefect's house but not doing well.

“Ayu, this time, we will never leave you alone in such a faraway place, facing so many Shu family members who have bullied you. We’ve inquired and found out that those exiled to the southwest have to do labor and have little freedom, let alone open shops or buy land. But we can. Once we get there, we’ll open a shop.”

They might not necessarily open a clothing store, after all, the southwest region is remote and impoverished, and clothing stores like those in Jiangyuan County are clearly unsuitable.

But Lu Erbai was good at carpentry, so they opened a carpentry shop.

Ruan also earned money from mending clothes, and Daya learned makeup skills from Ayu, so she would also do makeup for girls in the southwest who were about to get married, and she would earn some wages.

When the time comes, the old lady and the two children can continue sewing doll covers. Although they don't know if anyone will buy them, they still want to give it a try.

Even if all else fails, you can open a small food stall.

Jiangyuan County has several local specialties that people in the southwest may not have tried.

When that time comes, if Ayu gets tired or needs them, she can come back to rest, so she won't be left alone and helpless.

As Shu Yu listened, her eyes welled up with tears. She knew she wouldn't have a bad time in the Southwest; she wouldn't have to do hard labor every day. But she was truly used to being alone, and no one had ever told her—"Ayu, don't worry, when you're tired, come back and rest. Your family is waiting for you. They'll warm your blankets in the sun, cook you hot meals, clean your room, and let you sleep peacefully."

Shu Yu took a slow, deep breath. The words she wanted to say, urging them to return to Jiangyuan County, simply wouldn't come out.

She knew that even if she told him, her father wouldn't do it.

She laughed, "Okay, then when we get to the Southwest, I'll be relying on you guys to take care of me."
