Chapter 208 Shu Yu Goes to Ruan Family Village
Yesterday, the entire Lu family went to the county town to prepare for the opening of their shop. Even the eldest and third sons of the family went to the county town dressed in their finest clothes.
This caused quite a stir. After Liang and Lu Sanzhu returned, they publicized the fact that the newly arrived county magistrate had given them congratulatory gifts on the opening day.
This couple is never supposed to be trustworthy, but since even the officials and soldiers of the county government are involved, it must be true. They wouldn't dare spread rumors about something like this.
Therefore, the villagers of Shangshi Village finally realized what the return of Lu Erbai's second daughter really meant.
I used to think this girl was fierce, but I never expected that she was not only rich but also knew officials.
Many families in the village are already regretting their decision. If they had known, they would have visited Shu Yu's family when she first returned, and perhaps they could have discussed marriage arrangements.
After all, Shu Yu is good-looking and of marriageable age. Apart from her unpleasant personality, she's not bad at all.
Fortunately, it's not too late now, and Shu Yu has come to our door.
Looking at the villagers who had suddenly become so enthusiastic towards her, Shu Yu suddenly regretted visiting them in person.
Fortunately, there was an elderly lady of high seniority nearby who immediately pulled her granddaughter's hand away from the woman in front of her. "Our shop is only short of skilled tailors for the time being. We don't need any men right now."
Even if there's a shortage, we'll definitely prioritize our own family members.
Didn't you see that her two sons and one grandson are all strong and capable people?
The woman sighed with regret, then seemed to remember something and was about to speak again, but the old lady had already left with Shuyu.
After visiting a few more stores, all the meat had been delivered.
The old lady looked tired; after all, she was getting on in years, and she had been busy these past few days, enduring a bumpy journey home. Shu Yu quickly pulled her home, telling her to rest first, and then went out herself.
The old woman asked curiously, "Where are you going next?"
“Didn’t my mother say that Aunt Xiang from Ruanjia Village has pretty good cooking skills? I’ll go take a look, and if it’s suitable, I’ll just hire her.”
The old lady paused, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Shu Yu laughed and said, "Grandma, don't worry, the people of Ruanjia Village are all afraid of me."
"That's not what I'm worried about." What she's worried about is that the shop hasn't had any business yet, and if they hire people now, will they lose money?
However, she wasn't good at business, and Ayu was a capable person, so she didn't say much, but just told her, "Be careful. Although that old woman Ruan has calmed down for now, there's no guarantee she won't go crazy if she sees you. Try not to go near their house."
"I know."
Shu Yu smiled, took a few things, and went out the door.
Although the old lady told her not to go near Granny Ruan's house, Shu Yu couldn't help but want to go and take a look.
Ever since she caused a scene at the Ruan family's house last time, she hasn't been back to Ruan Family Village and doesn't know what's happening to them. She only learned from Lu Sanzhu that the Yu family had demolished half of the Ruan family's courtyard.
Shu Yu... was very curious.
This is the hottest time of day, and most of the villagers in Ruanjia Village are taking a midday nap at home, waiting for the sun to become less glaring before going to work in the fields.
So the village is very quiet, with the occasional bark of a dog and some restless children running around.
Shu Yu wore a straw hat, covering most of her face, so no one could tell who she was.
She walked familiarly to Granny Ruan's house and looked up at the Ruan family.
