Chapter 817 Settles Xu Dali
The Shu family was not far from the Xu family today, so they naturally heard what Wang Changdong said.
I felt a surge of anger and bitterness, and I couldn't even muster the energy to work.
"Why does Lu Shuyu always think of others when there are good things? We've lived with her for years, and she doesn't even show us any consideration."
The one who spoke was the second wife, but she only dared to mutter a few words.
Shu Feng glanced at her, a cold smile playing on his lips. Favor? When her grandmother drowned her, everyone watched. What favor was there to show?
Anyway, Lu Shuyu's affairs are no longer their concern. Everyone has already been exiled to this place. They should just do their own thing and live in peace. The most important thing is to support themselves first.
The Shu family was unwilling, but there was nothing they could do. They could only ignore the strange looks coming from all directions and keep their heads down to do their own thing.
Meanwhile, Wang Changdong was leading the Xu family back home while telling them what had happened on the estate.
The Xu family of three were utterly shocked. Had they heard correctly?
Several high-ranking officials have arrived from the capital to deliver an imperial decree to Miss Lu. They've even ordered her to return to her hometown and be granted the title of Lady of the Township?
So now that there is one less person in charge of registration in the village, Miss Lu recommended him to the county magistrate.
The Xu family members looked at each other, naturally happy that Shu Yu was able to leave this place.
After the initial joy, he became excited about being able to switch to an easier and more comfortable job.
Shu Yu could think of things, but Xu Dali thought of even more.
If he could work on the estate, at least his family could save on food expenses. Although he didn't receive wages because of his status as a prisoner, he received more and better rations than others each day.
Moreover, he will have a lot of free time to do his own things, and he can take this opportunity to earn some money to improve his family's life, so that his wife and son will not have to work so hard.
Therefore, as soon as Wang Changdong finished speaking, "You'd better write well in a bit, don't embarrass Lu Xiangjun," Xu Dali took a deep breath and nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, I'll write well."
He was confident in his handwriting, but since he hadn't written in a long time, he was still a little apprehensive.
Throughout the journey, Xu Dali had been quietly moving his fingers.
When the group arrived at the estate, they could still hear the county magistrate and Shu Yu talking.
Upon seeing them return, Shu Yu stopped and said to the magistrate, "This is Xu Dali, and beside him are his wife and children."
The magistrate sized up the group. After Xu Dali bowed, he said, "Lord Lu highly recommends you, saying that you are literate, reasonable, and of good character, more than capable of managing the estate. Although I trust Lord Lu, I still want to see your handwriting. There are brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones over there; give it a try."
"Yes." Xu Dali replied respectfully, glanced gratefully at Shu Yu, then took a deep breath and walked to the desk.
He didn't need to sit down; he simply picked up the brush, familiarized himself with it for a moment, and then began to write a line of poetry.
The magistrate glanced at it and nodded slightly. "Not bad."
He was fairly satisfied with Xu Dali. Although the man had lost an arm, Miss Lu said that even so, he did a lot of work on the wasteland and received a considerable amount of grain.
Since he's so capable, losing a hand doesn't matter.
