Chapter 1222 Trivial Matters of the Lu Family
By mid-afternoon, Madam Xiao had called off the banquet.
Her main purpose today was to chat with Shu Yu and, incidentally, get to know the wealthy young ladies and wives in the county town.
But the constant meeting and reunion was really boring, and the peach blossom banquet ended early.
Shu Yu still left with Ding Yuehua, who didn't ask her what Xiao Shi had said to her back then.
Anyway, when she saw Shu Yu come out of the pavilion, although she still had a smile on her face, she clearly wasn't in a good mood. It was obvious that she and the magistrate's wife had had some unpleasantness.
Seeing that it was still early, Ding Yuehua went to a famous dessert shop in the south of the city and bought two packets of candied fruit. She handed one packet to Shu Yu and said, "Here, have some candied fruit to sweeten your mouth. The candied fruit from this shop is quite good."
Shu Yu took a sip and said, "Thank you."
"You're being too polite with me."
The two exchanged a smile, and when they resumed their conversation, they had completely forgotten about what had happened in the peach blossom grove.
After returning home, Shuyu got busy again.
Madam Xiao was worried that Shu Yu would complain to Xiang Weinan, so she even had someone keep watch at the Lu family's door for a few days.
Who knew that the people who were tailing her said that she left the city almost every day, did not file a complaint, and did not see Xiang Weinan. She was focused on her workshop outside the city and sometimes even spent the night outside the city. She had no chance to go to the county government.
Xiao began to doubt her own guess; perhaps this Lord Lu really did have someone he loved?
She stopped having anyone keep an eye on the Lu family and focused on waiting for half a month later.
Shu Yu has been in a good mood these past few days. The workshop is being built very quickly. The outer structure has already been completed, and now some people are building dormitories while others are renovating the interior.
Because of this, Lu Erbai has stayed at the estate for several days and hasn't gone back.
Zhou Qiao, on the other hand, was taken to the Lu family for resettlement.
Her belly is growing bigger now, and the village is bustling with people coming and going, making it somewhat chaotic.
In particular, the tenant farmers' houses were not enough to accommodate everyone, and some people lived on the estate. These people worked hard every day and were covered in sweat. When they returned to the estate, they would take a shower, and they spoke loudly, which made it very inconvenient for Zhou Qiao, a socially anxious new bride and pregnant woman.
In addition, the women who were originally helping Zhou Qiao tidy up the estate and working there were all reassigned to cook for the workers, so they couldn't take care of her.
Shu Yu suggested that she come and stay at her home, which would be safe, make both of them feel comfortable, and allow Da Niu to focus on his work.
Li wanted Zhou Qiao to return to Shangshi Village. She could take care of her; after all, she was Zhou Qiao's mother-in-law, and it was only right for her to bring her home.
But once Shu Yu made a decision, Li dared not voice any objections.
She did want to talk to Da Niu, but last time Da Niu blamed her for buying medicine indiscriminately, and she was still angry with him. Da Niu didn't come back to see her, so she gave up.
So Zhou Qiao stayed at the Lu family's house with peace of mind.
The workshop was on track, and Shu Yu began looking for a shop.
Once the sunflowers are ripe, both the seeds and the oil must be sold in the shop.
However, she wasn't in a hurry to find a shop; she would take her time searching.
Zhao Xi, on the other hand, has already bought a house; it's a two-courtyard house.
I originally wanted to buy a three-courtyard house, but after visiting it, I found that the location was bad and it was dilapidated. It would take a lot of time to repair it, and I was afraid that the new house would not be finished by the time I got married.
Later, Zhao Xi and Shu You discussed it, but Shu You herself took a liking to the two-courtyard house.
