Chapter 48 Shu Yu visits the Ruan family
Shu Yu was utterly astonished by the Ruan family's actions. It was bad enough that they stole and sold her more than ten years ago, but now they wanted to do it again. They were truly unrepentant and deserved to die.
"They really think the Lu family is out of options; they've gotten addicted to fleecing people!"
Shu Yu turned and walked away, startling Lu Sanzhu, who quickly grabbed her. "Hey, what are you doing? Don't be impulsive. Let me tell you, although Master Yu is just a wealthy man in town, he has connections with our county magistrate. We can't afford to offend him."
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "So you mean we should go along with Master Yu's wishes and let Old Lady Ruan sell Da Hu and San Ya?"
“I didn’t say that.” Lu Sanzhu immediately denied it, then chuckled awkwardly, “But Master Yu is not someone we can mess with. Er Ya, you just got back and don’t know, the county magistrate of our county… is not easy to talk to.”
Shu Yu glanced at him twice, "I know."
After saying that, he went straight back to the pharmacy, and Lu Sanzhu followed him in anxiously.
Then Shu Yu said to the old lady, "Grandma, I have to go back. But my ointment isn't ready yet. Could you stay here and watch it for me? Let's stay in the county town tonight. I've already booked an extra room with Doctor Xu. Da Hu and San Ya will stay here too."
If the Ruan family has such intentions, it won't be safe for Sanya and Dahu to go back. Who knows what other tricks the Ruan family has up their sleeves waiting for them?
The old lady looked bewildered and glanced at Lu Sanzhu, who had followed her in. The latter himself was also confused and couldn't understand what Shu Yu was trying to do.
When Shu Yu asked the old lady for help for the first time, she naturally didn't refuse. She just told Lu Laosan, "When you go back, go to your second brother's house and help feed the chickens."
"Me?" Lu Laosan was shocked. Had the old lady gone mad? How could he possibly help his second brother with chores?
Shu Yu, who was standing to the side, answered for him first, "He will."
Without waiting for Lu Sanzhu's response, she said goodbye to Lu Erbai and hurriedly left the clinic.
Lu Sanzhu looked around and saw that the old lady was about to stop him to ask questions, so he went after Shu Yu without saying a word.
Shu Yu walked towards the city gate, where she could rent a carriage. After looking around, she finally stopped in front of a mule cart and asked the driver to take her to Ruanjia Village.
Lu Sanzhu immediately climbed up as well, and chuckled at Shu Yu, "I've never ridden in a mule cart before. Thanks to my niece, I got a ride home today."
Shu Yu didn't say much, only instructing the driver to set off.
Lu Sanzhu didn't get into the carriage either. He sat on the carriage shaft with the driver. He wanted to say a few words to Shu Yu, but seeing her cold face, he silently shut his mouth.
The mule cart was much faster than the oxcart, especially when Shu Yu asked for it to speed up.
Ruanjia Village and Shangshi Village are separated by two villages, but Ruanjia Village is closer to the county seat.
The mule cart stopped at the village entrance. Shu Yu asked the driver to wait for her, and then strode into the village.
Lu Sanzhu immediately followed, and Shu Yu turned to him and asked, "Where is the Ruan family?"
“Er Ya, are you going to settle scores with the Ruan family? That won’t do. The Ruan brothers are both tall and strong, and they’re really ruthless when they fight. You’ll get hurt if you go alone. Otherwise, let’s go back to Shangshi Village first and bring Big Brother, Da Niu, and Er Niu with us, then we can come back…”
Where exactly is it?
Lu Sanzhu quickly shut his mouth, pointing straight ahead, "Turn in that direction, pass the third house, then turn left and the second house is the Ruan family's."
