Chapter 872 The Third Wife: Completely the Opposite of the First Wife
Lu Sanzhu initially thought Hu Li was bringing his mother out, but who knew he would also bring out a horse-drawn carriage.
Lu Sanzhu asked, puzzled, "Brother Hu, are you coming with us to Shangshi Village?"
Brother Hu?
Shu Yu suddenly turned her head and looked at the two people with their arms around each other's shoulders. "Third Uncle, you can even call Master Hu your brother now?"
She used to call him Brother Hu, isn't this messing up the generational hierarchy?
Lu Sanzhu chuckled dryly, and said with some pride, "Brother Hu helped me out, and I've had drinks with him twice. That's how we got to know each other."
Shu Yu, standing beside the mule cart, was even more surprised upon hearing this.
It was Liang, who ran up to her, who explained the situation, and then everyone understood.
In contrast to the pitiful fate of the eldest son's family, after the news of Shu Yu's exile spread like wildfire throughout the city, Lu Sanzhu was not only not dismissed by the owner of Taolin, but even received a raise.
Lu Sanzhu was a very clever man. He keenly sensed the change in the other employees' attitudes towards him after the rumors started circulating.
Even the master of the house came over to subtly inquire about Shu Yu's affairs. At this point, there was no point in Lu Sanzhu hiding it any longer, so he simply told the truth.
The employer didn't say anything at the time, but his eyes certainly looked complicated.
Lu Sanzhu felt a surge of crisis. After finishing work that day, he brought two jugs of wine and squatted down in front of the county government office.
The only person he knew and had any dealings with at the county government office was Hu Li, so as soon as Hu Li appeared, he rushed up to complain.
The next day, Hu Li made a special trip to the peach orchard to have a very friendly chat with him. Lu Sanzhu put his arm around him and walked around the peach orchard, letting the other workers, managers, and even Master Ji see that he was being protected by the county officials.
Then Lu Sanzhu took out the tea that Shu Yu had sent and gave it to his employer.
When the landlord heard that it was sent by Shu Yu from the southwest, he knew that even though the other party was exiled, he was not doing badly. Otherwise, how could he have the spare money to send this thing?
Moreover, the county magistrate continued to support the Lu family.
I've heard that Lord Xiang has connections in the capital. If he really wants to protect Lu Shuyu, he might actually be able to.
Ji Dongjia had always treated Lu Sanzhu quite well. Despite his carefree and irresponsible demeanor, Lu Sanzhu was actually quite clever, otherwise Ji Dongjia wouldn't have given him several raises.
He was just worried that Shu Yu's exile would implicate Lu Sanzhu, and then implicate him.
With Lord Xiang backing him up, Master Ji was no longer afraid. He not only praised Lu Sanzhu highly but also gave him another raise.
The Lu family members were speechless for a long time after hearing this.
What can I say? Wow, Uncle Three is amazing! He managed to carve out a smooth path for himself even with all this.
After a while, the old lady turned around and said to the person behind her, "Da Niu, you should learn from your third uncle."
Lu Sanzhu's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously from behind.
It's really rare. His mother always praises Da Niu and belittles him. Before, she wanted him to learn from Da Niu, but now it's the other way around.
Who knew that the next moment, the old lady said, "Learn from his thick skin. You are too thin-skinned, which is why you are bullied for no reason."
Lu Sanzhu protested, "Mother, how am I shameless? I'm called intelligent and brave, quick-witted. Someone like me who frequently gets pay raises, do you think being shameless is useful? Wrong, wrong, wrong, only people with great abilities are useful. Right, Ayu?"
