Chapter 1385 Lu Sixing Buys a Car
After sending the letter out, Shu Yu let out a breath and continued with her work.
The instant noodle business hasn't fully expanded yet, and the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) who used to travel as merchants haven't returned, so there's still some stock left.
Just as the sunflowers were being harvested, the workshops were bustling with activity again, roasting sunflower seeds and pressing sunflower oil.
Shu Yu spent most of her time working in the workshop during this period, returning to the county town every three or four days.
When I returned, I was surprised to find that my fourth aunt had bought a mule cart.
Having made some money from her stall last time, Lu Sixing started thinking about how to save up some more money so she could buy a small courtyard in the county town for her family to live in.
Although her family had saved some money, they still couldn't afford to buy a house.
Just then, Yuan Shanchuan was promoted and transferred to work in the north of the city.
This transfer will take you quite far from home.
Lu Sixing considered whether to move, since the house here was rented anyway.
However, Yuan Shanchuan refused. They were already familiar with the area, and the children had playmates. Lu Sixing was very comfortable with her surroundings, and her third brother and sister-in-law lived nearby. If she suddenly moved to an unfamiliar place, she would have to readjust.
Yuan Shanchuan felt it was unnecessary, especially since the place he was being transferred to was too remote, which was not suitable for Lu Sixing and their two children.
At worst, he can work a little harder, get up earlier and come home later every day, but he won't have to move.
But he thought of his wife and children, and they felt sorry for him, so they decided to buy a mule cart so that he could drive it every day.
I originally wanted to buy a donkey, it's cheap and convenient. But then I thought a mule cart would be better, the whole family can ride in it, and when Yuan Shanchuan takes a break, we can take his wife and children out for a trip.
That's how it was settled.
Liang was incredibly envious when she saw it, and Lu Sanzhu was even more eager to try it.
Now, everyone's family—the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fourth sister—has a car, except for theirs. They still have to walk everywhere. I never really felt it before, but now it suddenly feels so tiring…
But they were poor, and all the little money they managed to save went to Shu Yu to pay off their debts.
If I had known, I would have bought a smaller house. Maybe I could have paid off my debts by now and saved up enough to buy a car.
The couple were crying.
Li didn't care; mule carts were common, after all. Her son had given her his mule cart as a gift, while her sister-in-law had to work hard to buy one herself. Thinking about it, she felt quite proud.
She was a little jealous of Yuan Shanchuan's promotion, feeling that it was entirely due to Shu Yu's influence.
Shu Yu stopped paying attention after hearing about it; Yuan Shanchuan's promotion was decided by the current county magistrate.
The new magistrate has just arrived in Jiangyuan County, and unlike Xiang Weinan, he doesn't have a strong foundation or sufficient manpower. He's currently short-staffed, so he's promoted some capable people.
Yuan Shanchuan was diligent and resilient. Before leaving, Xiang Weinan mentioned to the new magistrate that Yuan Shanchuan had made great contributions when searching for evidence of the Shu family's crimes.
The new magistrate understood this, and so he took every opportunity to promote people.
Shu Yu didn't think the new magistrate was doing this out of consideration for him.
She became increasingly busy, managing to squeeze in a visit to Dongqing Temple and the prefectural city once.
Xiao is recuperating very well, and she is gradually regaining her former energy and spirit.
She also visited the Tan family. After Tan's eldest son was able to eat, he was able to get out of bed and walk around, no longer lying in bed all day like before.
For this reason, Mr. and Mrs. Tan were extremely grateful to Dr. Zhao.
