Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Although Shu Yu was far away, a few sarcastic voices suddenly raised their volume.
“The Lu family is rich now. Look, not only do they travel to the county every day, but they also rent a mule carriage every time. Why? Is it because their legs are not good or are more precious than ours? Can’t they walk?”
“What do you know? She’s a girl who had just returned from the city. One look and one can tell that she had never suffered before. She’s just wasting the money she has. Just wait and see, when the money in her hands is finished, won’t she still have to live a hard life?”
“Yes, she’s been back for so many days, but I haven’t seen her go to the fields, gather pigweed, or even wash clothes by the river. Instead, she goes to the county every day and comes back with all kinds of delicious food.”
Some people advised, “That’s enough. Stop talking. That’s her own business.”
“Why should I stop? In my opinion, the Lu family should thank Old Lady Ruan. If she hadn’t sold their daughter to a rich man, she might not have been able to live such a good life, let alone come back and cure Second Lu’s leg with so much money, as well as buy them delicious food every day.”
Shu Yu pulled the reins and the mule stopped immediately.
She turned her head to look at the gossiping women and said with a smile, “Since you’ve mentioned Old Lady Ruan, you should have heard about me smashing the Ruan family, right? What’s the matter? Since you’re provoking me in front of my face, do you want me to help you smash your family too?”
The women choked and didn’t dare to make a sound.
How could they have forgotten that this girl could even lay her hands on her own maternal grandmother and uncle? She was truly ruthless.
What if she was unhappy and went to their house to smash things too?
Shu Yu glanced at them coldly, “Also, I didn’t rent this carriage. I bought it. If you’re unhappy, just hold it in.”
Had the Lu family gone crazy? Why would they buy a mule carriage? It couldn’t be used to farm or pull the mill. Did they have nothing better to do than keep a mule at home?
Shu Yu couldn’t be bothered with them and left in the carriage.
However, the news that Second Lu’s family had bought a carriage quickly spread throughout the entire village.
Shu Yu had never thought of hiding it. After all, such a thing couldn’t be hidden, not to mention that they were about to open a shop.
When she got home, Sanya and Dahu dashed out.
“Second sister, you’re back?”
“Sister Erya, you’re back?” Dabao followed behind them and ran forward.
Shu Yu was speechless. Ha? Was their relationship so good now?
Shu Yu got down from the carriage and asked Sanya, “Are mum and grandma at home? ”
“Mum is boiling medicine for dad, and grandma has gone to eldest uncle’s house.”
“Alright, let’s go in and talk.”
As for the mule carriage, the Lu family’s small courtyard could not accommodate it. Shu Yu’s gaze fell on Lu Sanzhu’s house opposite.
Hmm, the third uncle’s yard was more spacious. Her third uncle and third aunt were especially lazy. There was nothing planted in the yard, only a few chickens in the corner. Other than that, it was empty.
As soon as Shu Yu thought of this, she heard Lu Sanzhu’s ghostly howls from behind.
“Erya, Erya, I heard that you bought a mule carriage? Is this the carriage you bought?”
Shuyu turned around and saw Lu Sanzhu running over with a glint in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, he had already stopped in front of the carriage, almost failing to stop in time and crashing into it.
Just like how modern men could hardly resist the charm of a car, the resistance of men in this era to riding a carriage was pitifully weak these days..
