Madam Liang sat at the side and picked up the fan on the table. She fanned herself and responded, “We came to sell some of our dried goods at the bazaar today. I came over to see you guys after I sold them.”
Shu Yu knew that Lu Sanzhu and his wife didn’t like to work in the fields, but Lu Sanzhu liked to wander around and would occasionally go up the mountain.
Lu Sanzhu didn’t know how to hunt, but he would look for the traps set by the hunters. If he was lucky, he would encounter prey that fell into the traps. Lu Sanzhu would then directly take the prey for himself and sell or eat it.
In any case, he was quite wicked.
In order to cover up his wicked behavior, Lu Sanzhu deliberately picked up some herbs on the mountain and placed them in his basket as a cover-up as he staggered down the mountain. After all, he was also afraid of encountering hunters and getting beaten up.
The more times Lu Sanzhu did it, the more mountain goods he had. Madam Liang would gather them and sell them on the day of the bazaar.
However, those were all common items, and they could not be sold at a high price. They could only gather some coins.
Shu Yu understood and did not ask further. She turned around and went to the kitchen.
Seeing that Shu Yu was heading toward the kitchen, Lu Sanzhu and Madam Liang hurriedly followed.
The two of them were very self-aware. After entering, they began to look for food. In the end, they searched around but found nothing.
Lu Sanzhu looked pitiful.” Yu, we’ve been busy the whole day and are too tired and hungry.”
“Didn’t you bring some biscuits?”
Lu Sanzhu choked. “It tastes terrible. Honey’s cooking is terrible.”
Madam Liang was speechless. He actually made personal attacks?
Shu Yu looked back at them and internally hoped they would fight.
Unfortunately, the two of them did not do as she wished. Pitying them, Shu Yu grabbed two servings of noodles kneaded beforehand and uttered, “It’s already very late. Let’s have some noodles. Help me light the fire.”
She guessed that the old lady and Daya had gone to the ready-to-wear clothes shop to deliver food at this time.
After all, the shop wasn’t far away. Usually, they would prepare the food at home and bring it over to eat together.
Before Shu Yu left, she had told the old lady that she was not sure when she would be back, so there was no need to leave food for her. Therefore, the stove was empty at the moment.
Lu Sanzhu immediately went outside and brought in a pile of firewood. Madam Liang quickly washed the pot and started the fire.
The noodles were cooked by Shu Yu. After all, Madam Liang’s cooking skills were indeed not good, and Shu Yu did not want to make herself suffer.
Lu Sanzhu and Madam Liang were very happy. However, when they saw Shu Yu putting in meat and eggs, as well as scooping a large spoonful of pork fat, Lu Sanzhu could not help but twitch his eyelids.
In the past, he did not care, but now…
As Lu Sanzhu ate his noodles, he began to ask tactfully, “Yu, do you still have a lot of clothes in the shop? What I mean is, if you can’t handle it, get Honey to help. Don’t worry, we won’t ask for renumeration.”
Under the table, Madam Liang stomped on Lu Sanzhu with her foot.
Lu Sanzhu glared back and signaled with his eyes, “I’m asking if the ready-to-wear clothes shop business is good, do you understand? If it’s not good, yet Yu still gives us such a good meal, this will be our last proper meal.”
Madam Liang’s appetite was instantly affected, but no matter how bad her appetite was, she still ate the delicious noodles quickly.
The only one who didn’t change her expression was Shu Yu. She ate quickly and only answered Lu Sanzhu’s question after finishing a mouthful of soup. “Oh, there aren’t many clothes left in the shop. Anyway, speaking of which, I really need Madam Liang to help me with some work..”
