As soon as the door was locked, Shu Yu heard Madam Liang’s voice from behind.
“Eh, second sister-in-law, where are you going?”
In fact, Madam Ruan and Madam Liang didn’t have much contact. Rather, they even had a few conflicts. When the two met each other, they usually pretended not to know each other.
Who knew that Madam Liang would take the initiative to greet her today? Was this all thanks to the bowl of noodles yesterday?
Madam Ruan replied in a low voice, “Erya has come home, so we have to go to the county to see mother.”
Madam Liang secretly pouted, but she smiled on the surface, “Take care then, second sister-in-law.”
Madam Ruan nodded and was about to leave with her two younger children. When Shu Yu passed by Madam Liang, she asked, “Why don’t I see third uncle?”
“Oh, him? He went out early in the morning. What’s the matter, do you have something you need from him?” Madam Liang’s eyes shone.
Shu Yu just smiled, “No, I’m just asking.”
She thought to herself that Lu Sanzhu must have gone to find out more about Old Lady Ruan. She didn’t expect that he would be so enthusiastic about this kind of job given his usual laziness.
However, that was good too. After all, she did want to know earlier.
The four of them quickly reached the village entrance. Sanya held Shu Yu’s hand tightly and looked up at her from time to time.
There were a few times when she was about to fall, but Shu Yu supported her.
There weren’t many people at the village entrance since they had set off a little late. The villagers who wanted to go to the county usually left at dawn.
Actually, if Madam Ruan was alone, she would just walk there.
But now, they could only wait for the carriage at the village entrance. Usually, only one or two ox-carts or donkey carts would pass by in the wee hours of the day.
However, there was a market in the county today, so there would be two more donkey carts passing by. They should be able to get on them in a while.
Shu Yu looked around and saw a big rock not far away. She was about to call Madam Ruan over to sit when Dahu pulled her hand.
She was stunned and looked down at him.
Dahu pointed at the person who was walking over and introduced in a low voice, “Second sister, look, that’s Scholar Tang from our village. He’s so amazing, he’s only eighteen and he’s already a scholar.”
Shu Yu raised her head and looked at the man who was getting closer and closer.
He was indeed very young. He was slightly thin and was carrying a bookcase on his back as he walked towards the village.
From his appearance, he should have just returned from the county.
As the other party got closer, Dahu was afraid that he would hear him and quickly shut his mouth. However, his eyes were full of envy and admiration as he looked at Scholar Tang.
Scholar Tang passed by them without casting a glance. He quickly passed them and entered the village.
As soon as his figure disappeared, Sanya also said, “Second sister, isn’t Scholar Tang very good-looking? He’s the most handsome man I’ve ever seen, and he’s good at studying. He must be very smart.”
Shu Yu was amused, “This is the most handsome one? I’ve seen someone even more handsome. He was a man of striking appearance and noble bearing, benign and of good conduct. Although his smile was a little fake, it doesn’t hurt his delicate facial features and magnetic voice at all.”
When others described a voice as one that could make girls pregnant just by listening to it, they were probably referring to that person.
Sanya’s eyes widened, “Second sister, you just used so many, so many idioms.
You’re so knowledgeable.”
Shu Yu was speechless. Was this her main point?
“Second sister, what do you mean by being?”
Shu Yu laughed, “It’s a metaphor for a broad mind and heart..”
