Chapter 72 Village Chief Fan
Shu Yu crouched down and asked, "What's wrong?"
Da Hu swallowed hard and took out a small box from his hand. "Second Sister, this is the ointment you asked me to make."
Shu Yu took it, opened it, and smelled it. The smell was a bit unpleasant, very strong, but it was made with great care.
Da Hu looked at her nervously, "Second Sister, is it...is it okay?"
"Of course." Shu Yu nodded. While she was helping the twins vent their anger, the two little ones were also diligently carrying out the tasks she had assigned them, without being careless at all.
Da Hu was overjoyed. "That's great! I was worried I'd overdo it. Second Sister, can we put it on San Ya now?"
"Not yet, I need to add something." Shu Yu stood up. "Leave the rest to me. Don't worry, Sanya will soon become a little beauty."
Da Hu smiled again, looking very happy.
Over the next two days, Shu Yu accompanied the old lady to see the village chief of Shangshi Village.
The village chief's surname is Fan. Because he is related to the mayor of Wenlan Town, the villagers are not surprised that he became the village chief.
Village Chief Fan isn't a great person; he has his own selfish motives, is prone to petty greed, enjoys receiving praise, and likes to make a little money to spend. However, he does have some principles and won't excessively exploit the villagers.
Overall, it was neither particularly good nor bad, neither excellent nor terrible.
When Shu Yu visited for the first time, he was a little unhappy, probably because he felt that she hadn't paid enough attention to him since she came several days later. But he did a good job of putting on a good show, having his wife pick some fresh vegetables and send them over as a congratulatory gesture.
The old lady later took Shuyu to Uncle Lu's house, but apart from Lu Dasong and Da Niu, whom Shuyu had met before, the other children had been taken back to their maternal home by their aunt, who said that there was a happy occasion at their maternal home and that she was taking them to the wedding banquet.
The old lady was a little unhappy, feeling that her eldest aunt was doing it on purpose. Knowing that Er Ya had returned, she didn't even come to see her, and even took all her grandchildren away, showing no respect for elders at all.
Lu Dasong awkwardly explained from the side, "The child's mother went to my second brother's house, but no one was home at the time, so she came back. Erniu and the others also wanted to see Erya, so this is just a coincidence."
The old lady snorted coldly and took Shuyu back.
Shu Yu didn't care; she knew she'd see him sooner or later anyway.
All she cares about now is Lu Erbai's family.
After returning, Shu Yu gave the old lady a piece of silver, saying, "Grandma, Aunt Si and the others will be coming to our house in a couple of days. We should entertain them. Take this money and buy some food."
The old lady refused, saying, "What's there to eat? We're all family. They know our family situation. Some steamed buns and pickled vegetables will suffice."
Shu Yu, "..."
She took the money back. "Fine, I don't want the milk. I'll keep it myself and buy it later."
Upon hearing this, the old lady became anxious and quickly snatched the loose silver back. "No way! If I let you buy it, you might buy something expensive. Look at the rice and flour in the cupboard; you're not allowed to buy any more of that."
When Shu Yu handed the silver back to her, the old lady sighed but accepted it nonetheless. "You only have so little money, and you spend it all on us. What will happen to your dowry later?"
"Isn't this what you guys are here for? Once the shop opens, you'll be the ones doing all the work, and you can just save up for me again."
The old lady liked hearing that.
