Chapter 49 The Lu Family's Blood-Soaked Buns
Shu Yu strode in the direction he pointed. Lu Sanzhu stood there for a moment, slapped his mouth, and hurriedly followed.
Ruanjia Village is different from Shangshi Village. Shangshi Village is a mixed village, formed by many villagers who fled famine in the early years. Ruanjia Village, however, is different. Although the village is not large, two-thirds of the people are surnamed Ruan and they all come from the same lineage.
Because of this, Lu Sanzhu felt extremely uneasy from the moment he entered Ruanjia Village. He kept looking around suspiciously, like a thief.
Shu Yu, on the other hand, had a clear goal and soon stood at the door of the Ruan family's residence.
The gate to the Ruan family's courtyard was ajar, indicating that someone was home.
Just as Shu Yu was about to push the door open, she heard Granny Ruan's voice from inside, "Alright, alright, I'll go cut some meat and send it to that unfilial daughter, okay? Honestly, do we need to please them? And spend this money on her? I'm her own mother. She's already found Er Ya, so what's the point of arguing about the past?"
As they were talking, Granny Ruan opened the courtyard gate and almost bumped into Shu Yu, who was standing at the door.
She was stunned for a moment, then looked up to scold him, only to be met with Shu Yu's expressionless face.
Granny Ruan was surprised, but her expression changed the next moment, and she became sarcastic, "Oh, isn't this Er Ya from the Lu family who just returned from her family reunion? What's wrong? You finally remembered that you have our maternal family and have come to acknowledge us?"
Looking down and not seeing that Shu Yu was carrying anything, his expression grew even more unpleasant. "You came to visit relatives empty-handed?"
Shu Yu didn't even glance at her, pushed her aside, and walked inside.
“Hey, you…”
Granny Ruan quickly followed her in, pointing at her back and cursing, "Don't you know any manners? You have no upbringing at all. You don't even greet your elders properly. You're not mute."
Shu Yu ignored her and looked at the courtyard in front of her.
Leaving aside the brick and tile houses on that side, the area of this courtyard alone is more than twice the size of the Lu family's.
There was also a cart placed in the corner, the mooing sound coming from the cattle pen, thick cotton quilts drying on bamboo poles, three or four fish in a large water vat on the left, and dried meat and mushrooms drying under the eaves.
Looking at the two Ruan brothers who had just come out of the main room, they were indeed as Lu Sanzhu had said, tall and strong, a world apart from the thin Lu Erbai.
There were still crumbs of pastry left at the corners of their mouths, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know how well the Ruan family was living.
They're really enjoying eating the blood of the Lu family. The Ruan family has all of this because of the money they got from selling her back then.
Shu Yu looked around and spotted an axe in the corner. She grabbed it and tossed it around in her hand.
Lu Sanzhu, who happened to arrive at the entrance of the Ruan family courtyard, was startled. His eyes widened and he quickly shrank back, peeking into the courtyard without taking another step inside.
What exactly is Er Ya trying to do?
This was also what Granny Ruan wanted to ask. She had been cursing and swearing, but Shu Yu remained silent and didn't respond, which made her furious. She angrily ran up to her and blocked her way, "You brat, I'm talking to you! What are you doing here? You..."
"Shut up." Shu Yu suddenly stretched out his arm, and the axe in his hand almost hit Granny Ruan's nose.
Granny Ruan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she took a step back and fell to the ground, almost wetting her pants.
