Chapter 301 Hu Li Rang Shu Yu Returns to the Village
Shu Yu picked out two bottles of wine, the same ones as last time, unremarkable, and Hu Li liked them too.
When she finished choosing and was about to pay, she found that Lu Sanzhu had brought over several more bottles.
Shu Yu frowned. "What are you doing?"
“Aren’t there several people? We have to buy them all. We’ll take the last two bottles back with us, and your dad and I will have a couple of drinks too.” He had a pretty good plan.
Shu Yu smiled apologetically at Deng Shi, "Just these two bottles, I don't want anything else."
Lu Sanzhu's eyes widened. How could this person be so ruthless?
After buying the wine, Shu Yu walked out, and Lu Sanzhu hurriedly followed, calling out, "A-Yu..."
"Don't call me. My father's leg hasn't healed yet, so he can't drink. You too, you have to go to work tomorrow. If you don't rest early today, you won't have the energy to work, and then you'll have to go back to Shangshi Village to continue farming. Also, Tang Xiucai and the others are in the county school, where drinking is not allowed. You gave the students wine as a thank-you gift? How could you even think of that?"
Lu Sanzhu was so speechless that he couldn't say a word, and followed behind her with a pitiful expression.
Shu Yu went directly to the bookstore on Ningshui Street and bought calligraphy brushes and brush holders for Tang Xiucai and the others.
After buying the items, Shu Yu and Lu Sanzhu went to the county school together.
Tang Wenqian usually lived in the county school and only went back home on his days off.
Shu Yu was a woman, so it was inconvenient for her to deliver things. She handed the brush and brush holder to Lu Sanzhu and asked him to call for help, while she stood five meters away and waited.
It was during class time, and they waited quite a while before Tang Wenqian and his classmate came out.
Tang Wenqian, with his sharp eyes, spotted Shu Yu first, nodded to her, and then looked at Lu Sanzhu.
Without saying a word, the latter stuffed the brush and brush holder into their hands.
Tang Wenqian was startled. "Uncle Lu, what are you doing?"
"You helped me yesterday, so of course I have to thank you. I'm illiterate and don't know if this pen and pen holder are any good, but the shopkeeper at the bookstore said they're quite nice. Please accept them, otherwise I'll feel bad."
Tang Wenqian rarely had a moment of being at a loss for words, even though he didn't live in the village often, he knew what kind of person Lu Sanzhu was.
Would he feel guilty? That would be a bit ridiculous.
Seeing Shu Yu watching intently from the side, it was clear that she was being pressured by her niece.
He didn't want to accept it, and his two classmates also refused.
Lu Sanzhu said that scholars were too fussy and annoying. Without saying a word, he stuffed the clothes he had borrowed yesterday into Tang Wenqian's arms and ran away without looking back.
Tang Wenqian chased after it for a couple of steps but couldn't catch up. He could only look at the thing in his arms, shake his head with a wry smile.
Shu Yu caught up with Lu Sanzhu, and the two of them went to the county government office together to find Hu Li.
Hu Li came out quickly, but unlike the previous two times Shu Yu had seen him, this time he looked somewhat solemn.
Shu Yu gave him some wine, and he accepted it without hesitation.
Shu Yu was surprised. She had prepared her explanation, intending to make him accept it without feeling guilty, but she didn't expect him to be so decisive.
Could it be that I reported it to the adults last time, so it's okay now?
However, Hu Li did accept the wine, but when he looked at Shu Yu, he seemed hesitant to speak.
He tried to say something several times, but ultimately suppressed his anger.
Seeing his predicament, Shu Yu was about to say something when Hu Li said, "If you have nothing else to do, then... then go back to the village and take a look."
After saying that, he ran back to the county government office.
