Chapter 1224 You're so filial?
Thinking back to what happened more than ten days ago, Shu Yu suddenly narrowed her eyes and asked, "That Cao something-lin guy, is he dealt with?"
Cao Lin? That's Cao Changlin. Why can't Ayu remember people's names?
Lu Sanzhu nodded excitedly, "That's right! I knew that kid was no good. Now that he's been fired by Master Ji, I have no rivals, so Master Ji simply promoted me to manager. Master Ji said that I've performed exceptionally well over the past year, and the customers have mostly praised me. I'm very qualified to be the manager."
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "So, the day you were put in the water was indeed Cao something-lin's scheme?"
It's Cao Lin again, Lu Sanzhu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
However, he was still indignant when he talked about it. "That day, he really wanted to harm me. He knew that the county magistrate's wife was holding a banquet, so he deliberately bribed one of the ladies inside. He also found two waiters to pretend to be helpless in front of me and unable to find the Buddhist beads for the guests. He even said that he would give me five taels of silver if I found the Buddhist beads. I was bewitched at the time and actually swam over to look for them."
"Originally, once I swam to the pavilion, the lady that Cao Changlin bribed would walk up to the pavilion, see me in the water, and scream on the spot, attracting everyone else. At that time, all the ladies and wives present would think that I had ill intentions, and I wouldn't be able to explain myself."
"Oh, right, he also knows you were there. I'm your third uncle, so you have to speak up for me. Whether others believe me or not is another matter, but whether it's me or you, we'll both be talked about behind our backs. He's too malicious."
But now things are different. He used Cao Changlin's own trick against him. Although Cao Changlin realized something was wrong, he didn't expect it to be a series of schemes. In the end, he still managed to get rid of the man.
Master Ji made him the manager, and his current wage is three taels of silver, which will increase to five taels once things stabilize.
Just thinking about it made Lu Sanzhu feel really happy.
Shu Yu felt that her third uncle had indeed changed a lot. Although he was still timid after being away for more than a year, he was more quick-witted than before and at least knew how to use strategies to solve problems in the workplace.
After Lu Sanzhu finished speaking, he rubbed his hands together and asked Shu Yu, "Shu Yu, I came here today to borrow a mule cart from you."
The Shu family now has two horses and two mules, making travel very convenient. One of the mules is used by Da Niu on the estate for transporting goods, and the other horse has been taken to the outskirts of the city by Lu Erbai.
Shu Yu himself drives the big white car all year round, and the remaining mule cart is kept at home for motor use, which anyone can use when needed.
Lu Sanzhu asked to borrow the car, and Shu Yu lent it to him, but asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
"Sigh." Lu Sanzhu waved his hand, clearly wanting to laugh but desperately suppressing it, forcing himself to appear helpless yet calm. "Isn't this a great thing that I've become a manager? I need to go back to Shangshi Village and tell my father."
Shu Yu, “…” You’re this filial?
Lu Sanzhu said, "My father was always worried about me before he died, fearing that I wouldn't even be able to support myself, let alone my wife and children. Back then, he would sigh all the time. Now that I've become the person in charge, I have to go to his grave to tell him this wonderful news so that he can rest in peace."
Shu Yu looked at him suspiciously, feeling that his words were not very sincere.
