Chapter 662: Chapter 662: Everyone is Envious, Jealous, and Resentful Chapter 662: Chapter 662: Everyone is Envious, Jealous, and Resentful However, just as everyone was getting up to leave, Wang Changdong added, “Wait a moment, Lady Lu, I still have something to ask you.”
Shu Yu stopped in her tracks as she was walking out, turned around, and came back to him.
The members of the third team looked back, some with concern, especially Fang Xiyue.
It was Ma Lu who called out to them, “Alright, stop looking, go on home. Lady Lu will be fine. Didn’t you notice that she knows the teacher with the governor? The bailiff probably just wants to ask about that.”
At his words, the crowd picked up their pace.
It wasn’t until they reached the front corridor that the members of the third team began slapping each other on the backs in high spirits.
“Hey, we’ve got a mule carriage now.”
“And we get a day off every half a month, sheesh, what kind of dumb luck is this?”
“Plus a tael of silver.”
“Do you think we’ll receive the mule carriage tomorrow? How about we go straight to the prefecture to stroll around after we get it?”
The few of them excitedly discussed this, and Fang Xiyue by their side was also very happy.
She pinched the money in her hand and carried the somewhat heavy grain, her face flush with excitement.
Out of nowhere, Ma Lu approached her and whispered, “Miss Fang, now that Lady Lu will work at the manor, your ninth team will just be you. I’ll talk to the bailiff another day, and you can join our third team.”
Fang Xiyue was stunned, halting in her steps to look at him, “Really, I can?”
She had thought it through. Without Shu Yu hunting, she probably couldn’t go into the mountains alone. Luckily, the steward in charge now wasn’t Master Lan, Wang Changdong was easier to talk to, so reapplying to return to clearing fields probably wouldn’t be a problem.
Although she preferred hunting in the mountains.
Never did she expect Ma Lu would invite her, and for a moment, she felt light-headed.
The rest of the third team stopped and looked up at her, their faces wearing gratified, joyful smiles, “That’s right, Miss Fang of the Fang Family, we’ve been hunting in the mountains for several days now, and today we even bagged a tiger together. You’ve seen the caliber of our character, so rest assured, we won’t mistreat or bully you like team five does.”
Fang Xiyue quickly shook her head, “That’s not what I meant. I just don’t want to drag you down.”
“How could you ever drag us down? Your skill at tracking game is better than any of us. With such talent, we’d be thrilled to have you on our team.”
The others nodded in agreement, and Fang Xiyue bit her lip, “Then, I’ll go back and discuss it with my parents.”
The group jubilantly agreed and soon arrived at the front hall.
As soon as they appeared, they saw the Hunting Team surging forward to encircle them.
The third team uttered a ‘whoa’ and instinctively stepped back, taking a quick glance to see that, indeed, the Hunting Team had returned and were all crammed into the front hall, none having left.
“Ma Lu, did you really kill that tiger? What did the governor say to you guys? I heard you all got rewarded. What did you get? Tell us.”
Ma Lu cleared his throat, “Well, it’s not much. We were rewarded with a mule carriage and two days off per month.”
“Wow…” the crowd exclaimed, the expression of envy, jealousy, and resentment not to be overly concealed.
“That’s too good, a mule carriage?!”
“Two days off a month, that’s really awesome.”
One person pointed at Fang Xiyue standing to the side, “What about her? Does she get the same as you guys?”
