Tang Wenqian looked at Madam Tang and frowned slightly. After a while, he said in a low voice, The Lu family is quite nice.

They valued relations.h.i.+ps and loyalty, knew how to repay kindness, and were more knowledgeable than ordinary villagers.

He remembered what the old lady had said. Studying was not necessarily for the imperial examination. More importantly, it was to be literate and know the ways of the world.

How many people in this world could have such a mindset? Most of the people studied for the position of an official. Some scholars spent their entire lives fighting for this goal but instead lived their lives in a daze.

Madam Tang looked at Tang Wenqian in surprise. She didnt expect him to give such a comment.

She frowned, You

Tang Wenqian handed the meat over and changed the topic, Mom, lets make dumplings tonight. Theres meat anyway.

Madam Tang stared at the piece of meat in her hands, and when she looked up again, her son had already walked into the yard with his book basket.

She stood there for a long time before sighing and walking in, Alright, lets make dumplings then.

At this time, Shu Yu had already driven the mule carriage to the door of the house. The old lady was worried about the chickens at home, so she hurried to the chicken coop as soon as she got out of the carriage.

Having not been home for the past two days, Lu Sanzhu s wife had been watching over the house.

Fortunately, the other party had been well-behaved recently. The chickens looked quite energetic. The old lady was relieved and went to look for a cage to put the chickens in. Later, she would bring these chickens back to the county and raise them there.

Shu Yu tied the mule carriage to the door and took down the basket containing the meat. She said to the old lady, Grandma, Ill go to the village chiefs house

The old lady washed her hands, Ill go with you.

Shu Yu paused for a while and waited for the old lady before the two of them walked toward Fan Zhongs house.

Fan Zhong happened to be at home. He was quite surprised to see Shu Yu carrying a large piece of meat over.

After hearing why they were here, he immediately beamed with joy, Youre too polite. Daya is a girl from our village. Its only right for us to stand up for her when she has been wronged. Why would you personally send gifts over? Even though he was saying that, he did not hesitate to take the meat.

Shu Yus mouth twitched. The two of them did not stay any longer. They still had to send meat to the other villagers houses.

As they left, they saw the children playing in the courtyard, and Shu Yu gave each of them a few candies.

After leaving the Fan family, the two of them visited the few families that had helped.

When they saw the gifts, all of them were very courteous.

However, a few families did hold on to Shu Yu and asked, I heard that your family opened a shop on the busiest street in the county, right? Are you guys lacking manpower? Look at the eldest son of my family. Hes hardworking and willing to work. We dont ask for a high salary either.

The villagers of Shangs.h.i.+ Village had heard about the news of Lu Erbais family opening a shop long ago, most of it spread by Madam Liang. It was just that at that time, even Madam Liang herself didnt know what the shop was selling, and none of them saw any activity from Lu Erbais house, so most of the villagers thought that Madam Liang was bragging.

Someone even went to ask Madam Li, but Madam Li was not willing to make her second brother-in-laws family seem great, so she also gave a vague answer.

As such, the villagers of Shangs.h.i.+ Village thought that the so-called shop was probably just a small stall. Most of them only thought that with Lu Erbais daughter back, the family would have a better life.

No one expected that their days would be so good..
