Chapter 152 Both of them are crippled
Lu Sanzhu's eyes widened. How could someone be hit like that?
He swallowed hard. "Zhang Shu must have encountered this kind of person. He made such a big fuss about it."
Shu Yu agreed, "Alright, this way we don't have to worry about Zhang Shu retaliating against us." A blind and mute man, who is also embroiled in scandals, probably has difficulty even going out.
Moreover, Zhang Shu is in such a state that he can no longer take odd jobs. The eldest and second sons of the Zhang family are both selfish and self-serving people, and they certainly wouldn't want to support such a 'sick' younger brother-in-law.
The Zhang family's good days are yet to come.
After Lu Sanzhu finished recounting this major event, he went out again, as he still had to tell the others.
Shu Yu thought her third uncle was a real blabbermouth.
However, when Big Mouth returned that evening, he told them some big news.
"Mother, Second Brother, I'm here again. I'm here to tell you that the Zhang family has returned."
Lu Erbai didn't stop what he was doing this time. He had already completed two of the models that Ayu had asked him to be, but it wasn't enough. He had to hurry up and finish.
He was already used to Lu Sanzhu's overreaction.
So while he was working, he asked, "You're back? Zhang Shu is cured?"
Lu Sanzhu shook his head desperately, "It's incurable. I heard that Village Chief Yan from Dayan Village also went to the county town. After all, thieves broke into the Zhang family without warning and harmed them like this. Village Chief Yan planned to report it to the authorities and ask the constables to help investigate. Who knew that when he went to the county town, he found out that Zhou Jian's tongue had also been cut out and his eyes gouged out. The constables are already running around in circles at the Zhou family's house."
"Zhou Jian?" Lu Erbai frowned. "The man who was with Zhang Shu?"
“Yes.” Lu Sanzhu nodded vigorously. “However, the constables searched the Zhou family’s house thoroughly, inside and out, but they didn’t find a single clue.”
The fact that the two men met the exact same fate terrified the people who knew about it.
Fortunately, most people believe that this was because someone disapproved of their homosexuality and targeted the two of them.
However, this made Shu Yu even more certain of who the perpetrator was.
The Zhang family's affairs were a thing of the past for the Lu family. Since Daya and Zhang Shu were no longer related, they could simply listen and let it go.
The Lu family is currently busy with the shop's opening. Since Daya returned, Ruan Shi has been making clothes much faster, and several ready-made garments are already hanging in the room.
Shu Yu was very satisfied with the finished product. Especially after she tried it herself, she became even more convinced of Ruan Shi and Daya's skills, and felt much more at ease about the opening day.
The next day, Shu Yu went to the county town again.
Engineer Zheng is already finishing up the work, and the handover will be completed tomorrow.
Shu Yu prepared Zheng Gong's wages separately and set them aside, also reserving the silver needed for purchasing items. Then, looking at the remaining dozen or so taels of silver, she clutched her chest, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.
Money really doesn't last long. Look, after buying this and that, there's only this little bit left.
Even with all that money left, Shu Yu still went to the market to buy some snacks and went to find Meng Yunzheng.
When he saw Shu Yu come over, Meng Yunzheng was not surprised at all. He calmly invited her in, poured water and brought it to her.
He frowned slightly when he saw the snacks she brought.
Shu Yu followed his gaze, placed the snacks on the table, and said with a smile, "You helped me, so I should thank you for this."
