Chapter 721 Eating Fish
Shu Yu thought of Aunt Xue's unnaturally drooping hand; clearly, although the hand had healed, the bones were completely crooked.
And her thinner and older appearance compared to the rest of the Shu family suggests that, without her and the Hou family, she has become the new target of the Shu family's hatred. Even if the Shu family doesn't physically beat her, her life is much worse than that of the others.
Shu Yu gave a mocking laugh.
The neighbor immediately said, "Manager Lu is right, aren't they just fighting like dogs? Manager Lu, don't worry, I live next door to the Shu family. If they ever have any dirty thoughts, I promise I'll tell you."
Shu Yu raised her head and glanced at the person.
The man hurriedly explained, "I was worried they might do something bad. Even though they've been exiled, they still seem a bit unruly. If they cause trouble for others and implicate the entire Zhengdao Village, that would be terrible. You're in charge, so it's only right that I talk to you."
Shu Yu thought this person was quite a character, so she smiled and didn't refuse.
The man breathed a sigh of relief and then left happily.
Shu Yu continued working. Speaking of which, it had been a few days since Madam Hou and the Sixth Miss left. She wondered how they were doing now.
Next time she goes to the county town, I'll bring her something.
After registering, Shu Yu packed her things and went home.
Upon entering the yard, I discovered that the sunflowers I had planted earlier had sprouted.
She squatted down to take a look, "It's finally sprouted! I thought it wouldn't survive."
It's not sunflower season now, but luckily they're easy to grow, prefer warm temperatures but are also cold-hardy and quite adaptable. As long as the soil temperature is above two degrees Celsius, the seeds will survive.
In the southwest, the daytime temperature is not particularly low, except in the early morning and evening.
She had previously planted sunflowers in pots, bringing them out to bask in the sun during the day and keeping them indoors to keep them warm at night.
The seeds should have sprouted in about seven days, but so much time has passed and there's still no sign of them. Shu Yu even thought that the seed variety might not be very good and wouldn't be able to grow in winter.
Well, although it took a long time, at least there was some progress.
She plans to plant this one seed for now, and if there are no problems, she will plant the other seeds next spring.
With one happy event after another recently, Shu Yu was in a good mood. After turning the potted plant around, she stood up and said to the old lady, "Grandma, my flower has sprouted! I've been waiting for this so long. Shouldn't we celebrate?"
The old lady was feeding the chickens when she heard this and turned around with amusement, "How are you going to celebrate?"
"Didn't Fang Xiyue send over a fish last night? We happen to have some pickled cabbage at home, so let's make pickled cabbage fish. I'll cook."
Fang Xiyue and the others returned early from hunting yesterday, and someone suggested they go fishing. The people from Team Three all went to the riverbank and worked for most of the day, catching quite a few fish.
After the division, there was an extra one, so Ma Lu and the others had Fang Xiyue deliver it to the Lu family.
This fish is quite big, and Shu Yu is a little envious.
The old lady had no objection. "Okay, I'll go kill the fish." As she spoke, she scattered all the chicken feed in her hand.
Shu Yu had already gotten up before her. "No need, I can do it. I'll go to the river to kill them so they can be cleaned easily."
She took the fish out of the basin, put them in a bucket, grabbed a kitchen knife and scissors, and went straight out the door.
Shu Yu had only been gone a short while when a person came around the corner.
