The Ruan family was on the verge of collapse. She hadn't finished speaking yet! Was she planning to gossip about how good the Lu family was doing now? Wasn't she afraid that Granny Ruan would be so angry that she would jump out of her coffin to settle scores with her?
Shu Yu wasn't afraid at all; she had a lot on her mind.
“Oh, Grandmother, why did you leave us like this? At your age, you could have been enjoying your retirement. My grandma, for example, doesn’t have to worry about anything anymore. I even had a maid with amazing massage skills assigned to her. She would massage her legs when she got tired from walking, and she’s become quite plump. She spends her days talking to the children and helping to find suitable maids and servants for the family. Her life is so carefree.”
"Look at me, I've gone off on a tangent. Actually, I just wanted to tell Grandma that my mother, whom you care about most, will have a very comfortable life from now on. Her mother-in-law treats her like her own daughter, her husband dotes on her, and her children are filial and all very successful. You don't know, do you? Arui, oh, that's Dahu, he's changed his name to Arui now. He's been studying very hard these past few years, and his teacher says he can try taking the preliminary examination next year. With Ayun, the top scholar, tutoring him, I think there won't be any problems."
"And then there's A-Ning, who's San-Ya. She's learning medicine from her master now, and she'll definitely be a female doctor in the future. Grandmother, don't think that just because there aren't any female doctors in our county, there are several in the prefectural city. I know one female doctor who has excellent medical skills. She bought a house in the prefectural city and has become a guest of honor for those rich ladies. She's very glamorous."
"My eldest sister goes without saying. Although her previous marriage was not smooth, her current husband dotes on her very much, and they have an adorable child. The child has just learned to walk, is chubby and fair-skinned, and is especially endearing."
"They didn't have time to come see you this time, but when they've achieved success, I'll bring them to Ruanjia Village to tell you this good news at your grave. Then you can have a good talk with your grandfather and see how successful your daughter's family is, right?"
Shu Yu let out a long breath as she spoke, "Grandmother, that's all for today. Don't worry, we'll come and let you know whenever there's any happy occasion in our family. Even though you're no longer here, you can still participate, and we'll never forget you."
She finally stood up, looked up at the Ruan brothers whose faces were so dark they could drip water, and said with a sorrowful expression, "I know you're both busy and don't need to stay here with me. How about this, tell me what kind of work you have on hand, and I'll come and help."
Who would dare let her do any work? She's so precious, we're afraid she'll hurt her voice or have knee pain. If she bumps or hurts herself anywhere, we'll make trouble for her.
However, after being forced to listen to her boasting for so long, the Ruan family members felt a mixture of envy and jealousy, and were ultimately unwilling to accept it.
She just said something like that, isn't she very rich? We don't need her to do the work, but surely she can contribute money.
However, the Ruan brothers, who had confronted Shu Yu directly, dared not utter a word. Their wives, on the other hand, rolled their eyes. The second brother's wife even stepped forward, brushed away her brother's hand that was pulling at her sleeve, and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Your Highness, you've seen it too. Our family is poor, and even the old lady's funeral was held in a simple manner. Why don't you pay for it so that the old lady can have a grander funeral?"
