Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Yu was simply amazed by the Ruan familys way of doing things. Never mind the fact that they had stolen and sold her more than ten years ago, but now they were going to do it again. They were really unrepentant and deserved to die.
Do they really think that theres no one left in the Lu family? Theyre simply addicted to taking advantage of others!
Shu Yu turned around and left.
Lu Sanzhu was shocked and quickly pulled her back, Hey, what are you doing? Dont be impulsive. Im telling you, although Lord Yu is only a rich man in the town, he is on good terms with our county magistrate. We cant afford to offend him.
Shu Yu raised her eyebrows, So youre saying we should go along with Lord
Yus wishes and let Old Lady Ruan sell Dahu and Sanya?
I didnt say that, Lu Sanzhu immediately denied it. Then, he laughed awkwardly and said, But Lord Yu really isnt someone we can mess with. Erya, you just came back so you dont know, but our countys magistrate Hes not a lenient person.
Shu Yu glanced at him, Alright.
After she said that, she returned to the medicine shop. Lu Sanzhu followed her uneasily.
Then, he saw Shu Yu say to the old lady, Grandma, I have to go back for a while. But Im not done with the ointment yet, can you help me watch over it? Just stay in the county for the night. Ive already booked an extra room with
Doctor Xu. Dahu and Sanya will stay here as well.
Since the Ruan family had such thoughts, it wouldnt be safe for Sanya and Dahu to go back. Who knew what other tricks the Ruan family had up their sleeves?
The old lady was dumbfounded. She looked at Lu Sanzhu, who had followed
Shu Yu in. The latter was also at a loss. He had no idea what Shu Yu was up to.
This was the first time that Shu Yu had asked the old lady for help, so she naturally wouldnt reject her. She only instructed Lu Sanzhu, When you go back, go to Erbais house and help feed the chickens.
Me? Lu Sanzhus face was filled with shock. Was the old lady muddleheaded? How could he possibly help his second brother with his work?
However, Shu Yu, who was at the side, answered on his behalf first, He will.
Without waiting for Lu Sanzhus reply, she bid farewell to Lu Erbai and left the clinic in a hurry.
Lu Sanzhu looked left and right. When he saw that the old lady was about to stop him and question him, he went after Shu Yu without a second word.
Shu Yu walked towards the city gates, where she could rent a carriage. She looked around and finally stopped in front of a mule carriage, then asked the coachman to take her to Ruan Family Village.
Lu Sanzhu immediately climbed onto the cart as well and chuckled at Shu Yu, Ive never taken a mule carriage before. Thanks to my niece, Im able to hitch a ride home.
Shu Yu didnt say much and just let the coachman set off.
Lu Sanzhu didnt enter the carriage. He sat on the shaft with the coachman. He wanted to say a few words to Shu Yu, but when he saw her cold face, he silently shut his mouth.
The mule carriage was much faster than the ox cart, especially when Shu Yu requested for it to speed up.
Between Ruan Family Village and Shangs.h.i.+ Village were two villages, and the former was closer to the county.
The carriage soon stopped at the entrance of the village. Shu Yu asked the coachman to wait for her and then strode into the village.
Lu Sanzhu immediately followed her. Shu Yu turned around and asked him,
wheres the Ruan family?
Erya, are you going to get even with the Ruan family? That wont do. The sons of the Ruan family are tall and strong, and they are vicious when beating people up. Youll be at a disadvantage if you go alone. Why dont we go back to Shangs.h.i.+ Village first and bring your big uncle, Daniu, Erniu, and the others with us, then
Where is it?
Lu Sanzhu quickly shut his mouth and pointed straight ahead, Turn there, pa.s.s by the third house, then turn left. The second house is the Ruan family..
