Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Great Satisfaction Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Great Satisfaction Shu Yu felt somewhat ashamed; she hadn’t expected Wang Changdong to not only use her as an example but also to extravagantly praise her in front of everyone.
Although she did think it was deserved, he should at least have told her in advance. That way, she could have mentally prepared, adjusted her expression, and prepared a speech to inspire everyone.
In that regard, she knew she would have done well.
Luckily, despite her tumultuous thoughts, she maintained a calm demeanor, smiling in the face of everyone’s astonished expressions.
Particularly, those from Team Five–look at them, look, their jaws were nearly hitting the floor; it was simply… immensely satisfying.
Shu Yu casually glanced at them; she already knew that Ma Lu had deliberately misled them into thinking her reward was the same as everyone else’s.
No wonder even the Shu family was unaware and looked terrified.
“Bailiff, what did you just say? Did you say Lu Shuyu has become, become the steward?”
Just as Wang Changdong was engrossed in his speech, he was abruptly interrupted and became somewhat displeased. He looked at the leader of Team Five, “What’s the matter, didn’t I make myself clear? Should I repeat it?”
“No, not that, but why does she deserve it?”
Ma Lu coolly glanced at him, “Are you deaf? Didn’t the bailiff just say? Because Lady Lu can read and write, fought a tiger, and was even confirmed by the governor, what’s so strange about her becoming the steward?”
Wang Changdong nodded; exactly, why question him when they couldn’t hear clearly?
Hearing Ma Lu speak, the leader of Team Five suddenly turned his head and glared fiercely at him, “The other day, you clearly told me that her reward was almost the same as yours.”
“Right, we all got two days off, five kilograms of grain, and one tael of silver; isn’t that almost the same?” one of Ma Lu’s mates said with a snicker, reveling in the misfortune.
“You…” The leader of Team Five almost fainted from anger.
They had all been fooled by Team Three, those damn deceits; they had hidden such a big fact.
Lu Shuyu as the steward? She had become the steward? It was utterly intolerable; why her?
Not just Team Five was resentful, but others were also feeling conflicted at that moment.
They recalled how all the squads were reluctant to accept them when Shu Yu first arrived, eager to push her out, which almost displeased the bailiff.
Initially, they had even mocked the idea of two girls forming Team Nine, thinking they would be lucky to catch some wild hens. They speculated that the girls would be unable to endure a few days in the mountains, getting scared and switching tasks.
Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, she had suddenly risen high above them.
At this moment, they deeply regretted not having welcomed her into their teams earlier; Team Three had really profited.
Shu Yu looked at everyone’s expressions and, even if they didn’t speak, she could roughly guess.
Didn’t they think, did they have the abilities or the courage of Team Three’s Ma Lu? Without that, they shouldn’t harbor any other thoughts or expectations.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Changdong finally snorted, “Do you have any other objections?”
He glanced at Team Five; they immediately lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.
But with this interruption, Wang Changdong lost his enthusiasm to continue speaking grandly.
Seeing that it was getting late, he neatly began to arrange matters.
