Lu Sanzhu said, “Well, I want to say something.”
Everyone, including the old lady, turned their heads in unison as soon as he finished speaking.
Lu Sanzhu immediately took steps back, then moved forward with an awkward smile and said, “l just wanted to say that I came earlier today on purpose because I wanted to look for a house or something. But I helped Second Brother to see a doctor. It’s already late. It’s too late to find a house, so our family can only stay at Second Brother’s house now.”
He spoke with an innocent look.
The old lady was so angry she saw him and reached out to hit him.
Unexpectedly, Shu Yu said, “Okay.”
Everyone looked at her in surprise. Even Lu Sanzhu and Madam Liang couldn’t believe their ears.
Shu Yu said, “However, our courtyard can’t accommodate you. Third Uncle, you can stay in the courtyard behind the shop now. Although the room is small, it’s still enough to squeeze in. You can help us look after the shop.”
Lu Sanzhu’s eyes lit up. “Are you letting us stay? There would be no problem for us to take care of the shop for you.”
As he spoke, he called out to Madam Liang, “Hurry up, let’s move the things over now.” They were afraid Shu Yu would go back against her words.
Madam Liang responded, “Coming.”
She left Dabao and Baoya here for the time being and moved the things onto the mule carriage at the entrance together with Lu Sanzhu.
Shu Yu was speechless as she thought, “You’re quite smart. You didn’t even bring the mule carriage in.”
After the couple left, the old lady asked Shu Yu, “Are you letting them live in the shop’s backyard? Yu, you can’t be too indulgent with your third uncle. I understand him. He’s especially insatiable.”
“Grandmother, don’t worry. Third Uncle won’t be staying for long.”
Shu Yu found it funny. “Think about it. How far is our shop, or even the houses in Liufang Alley, from the Peach Blossom Forest?”
The old lady was stunned, and the others returned to their senses.
That’s right. The Peach Blossom Forest was so far away, and Lu Sanzhu didn’t have a mule carriage. He could only rely on his legs to make two trips a day. Thanks to his strong willpower, he could last a day.
The distance was secondary. The most important thing was to get up early. Otherwise, he would be late for work.
The old lady clapped her hands together and laughed. “That’s right. It serves him right tto think about taking advantage of me all day. He’ll have to move later.’
Lu Sanzhu moved quickly and returned not long after. They just put the things in the shop first and slowly tidied them up later.
Seeing this, Shu Yu pulled him out again.
Lu Sanzhu was puzzled. “Where are we going?”
“To buy things. Did you forget that we still must thank those who helped us yesterday? You have to start work tomorrow, so that you won’t have time.” Lu Sanzhu was again dragged out of the door, his face full of despair.
He didn’t seem to have sat down to rest today. It had been three times. He had just entered the door and left. He was already feeling tired.
Once Shu Yu left the alley, she went straight to the Deng family’s wine shop.
When Madam Deng saw her, she was stunned momentarily before she smiled.
Shu Yu didn’t seem to have changed much. Instead, she looked much better than before. On the contrary, Jiang Yi seemed to have become much more haggard.
This was also normal. With the Jiang family in such a mess, it would inevitably be affected even if Jiang Yi’s branch were separated.
Moreover, Jiang Ren t s horizons were still a little narrow. He thought everything would be okay because he separated from Jiang Li and returned to the Jiang family. He had never considered building a good relationship with Jiang Yi, who was no longer a threat.
Instead, they continued to suppress their winery..
