Chapter 1225 The News Brought by Huli
The old lady knew her son best. She happened to hear Lu Sanzhu's words as she walked over and immediately said rudely, "What nonsense are you talking about? You just want to go back to Shangshi Village to show off, right? I'm afraid you'll have to go to your father-in-law's house too, not just Shangshi Village. You're shameless."
Lu Sanzhu's face fell; this was truly his mother.
Before her mother could finish speaking, she said, “If you want to go to your father-in-law’s house, then go. Didn’t you get promoted to manager and have your wages increased? Buy them something. I feel bad for you going back empty-handed every time.”
Madam Liang walked over and said, "No need, Mother, my parents are fine."
“What do you mean it’s nothing? Last time your family moved, how much stuff did your father-in-law and brother-in-law bring over? You have to return it, don’t you understand the principle of reciprocity? If you don’t bring it, we won’t lend you the mule cart.”
Liang and Lu Sanzhu exchanged a glance and sighed. It seemed that showing off came at a price.
The two could only nod, but once the mule cart was brought out, they became excited again.
The old lady was still happy that Lu Sanzhu had been promoted to manager. After they left, she turned to Shu Yu and said, "Let's have something nice to eat tonight to celebrate for the third brother. We won't invite them; we'll just eat by ourselves."
Shu Yu was delighted and gave the old lady a thumbs up. "Well done! You didn't even need the host to be there to celebrate with her."
Shu Yu ultimately complied with the old lady's request.
Lu Sanzhu's affair was another joyous occasion for the Lu family. However, it wasn't so good for Li Shi. According to Liang Shi's report, Li Shi was so angry she almost rolled her eyes, but she still had to force a smile and congratulate them.
Shu Yu ignored their fighting. As Shu You's wedding date drew closer, Shu You suddenly became nervous and suffered from insomnia at night.
Seeing this, Shu Yu simply took her out of the city to see the estate and workshops, so that she could relax. Everything that needed to be prepared was ready, and now all she had to do was adjust her mindset.
For this reason, Shu Yu also asked Zhao Xi for some calming sachets.
After relaxing at the estate for two days, the Shuyou sisters returned home.
Just as they arrived at the gate, a familiar figure appeared not far away: "Lu Xiangjun."
Shu Yu got out of the car and was somewhat surprised to see Hu Li. "Why did you come here?"
Seeing that they seemed to have something to say, Shu You nodded to Hu Li and went inside first.
Hu Li walked up to Shu Yu, smiled and waved, "I have something to tell you."
"Come in, let's talk."
Hu Li shook his head, "No need, I have something to do in a bit, I'll just say a few words and then leave."
"Alright then."
Hu Li leaned closer to Shu Yu and lowered his voice, saying, "Lord Lu, didn't you ask the master to keep an eye out for buyers on the black market last time? Recently, there's been news that someone in the prefectural city has offered 25,000 to buy the black market and the mountain."
Shu Yu frowned. "I remember the black market asking price was 30,000 taels, right? The other party suddenly cut it down to 5,000?"
Hu Li nodded. "Yes, but no one has been able to offer a price for this hill, so it's been dragging on for quite a while. The master said that if we cut the price by five thousand, it should be able to sell."
"The other party is from the prefectural city. Do you know what he bought this mountain and that estate for?"
Hu Li's expression turned somewhat strange, and even Shu Yu's expression showed a hint of sympathy.
