Chapter 886 Returning to the County Town

Not only Lu Dasong, but also the old lady and others who were originally planning to get on the mule cart stopped abruptly and turned to look at her.

The old lady hurried over, "Ayu, are you going to repair the ancestral grave?"

"Yes, I've returned home in glory, so it's only right that I repair the ancestral graves."

The old lady frowned and said, "Why would I need you? My husband has three sons, let them come. But they're not very successful now, we'll wait until we have more money..."

“Grandma,” Shu Yu interrupted her, “now is the most appropriate time.”

Lu Erbai, who was standing to the side, nodded after a moment of silence and said to the old lady, "Mother, Ayu is right. She returned home in glory and became the village head, which is the time when everyone is talking about her. The villagers already know the contents of the imperial edict, including the gold bestowed by the emperor. Today, Ayu went into the mountains to worship her ancestors, and after coming down the mountain, she proposed to repair the ancestral graves. Everyone thinks that Ayu is filial and grateful."

Shu Yu may not care about her reputation, just like when she went to the Ruan family with an axe to kill people, she didn't care if people said she was unfilial.

But Lu Erbai, as her father, didn't think so. Ayu was about to come of age and get married soon, so the matter of repairing the ancestral graves could only benefit her.

The old lady thought it made sense.

But she couldn't help but glare at her three sons. They were useless; otherwise, it wouldn't have been Ayu's turn to repair the ancestral graves.

Lu Erbai touched his nose. Well, in the old lady's heart, he's probably just a weed now.

With everyone agreeing, Lu Dasong nodded and said, "Alright then, leave this to me, don't worry."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle." Shu Yu then got onto the mule cart.

The eldest son and his family stood at the village entrance, watching their car leave.

Lu Dasong was overjoyed. He was happiest to be able to repair his ancestral graves. He immediately turned around and headed home, ready to get things done as soon as possible.

Lan Hua and Er Niu were also very excited, walking back with their heads held high. Seeing the envious glances from the villagers, the two couldn't help but exchange a smile.

Only Li remained standing there for a long time, feeling a little jealous. She also wanted to go to the county town, but just now the old lady had called her aside and scolded her severely, saying that if she caused any more trouble, she would make Da Song divorce her.

Now, Li dares not provoke the old lady. With Shu Yu, the village head, backing her up, she is very smug.

The two mule carts quickly headed towards the county town. As they approached the town gate, the road widened considerably. Sanzhu quickly urged the mule carts behind to speed up, squeezing onto the same straight line as Shuyu.

He then tossed the reins to the big ox, who was also sitting on the carriage shaft, and turned to Shu Yu with a grin, "Shu Yu."

Seeing his expression, Shu Yu couldn't help but sigh, "What's wrong?"

"Ayu, let's go see that big house after we get back to the county town."

Shu Yu glanced at the sky. "It's getting late. That house is a large three-courtyard complex. I heard from Master Xiang that it also has a very large backyard. If we really want to see the whole thing, it will be dark by the time we get there."

The old lady also lifted the carriage curtain and looked over, glaring at the guy. "Third brother, don't cause me any trouble. We still need to go back and check out the rented courtyard, and we still need to tidy up our things. We don't have that much time to take you around the big house. We'll go see it tomorrow."
