Chapter 49: Road Family's Blood Bread

 Chapter 49: Road Family's Blood Bread

Shu Yu walked quickly in the direction he pointed, and Lu Sanzhu stood there for a moment, slapped his mouth, and hurried to catch up.

Unlike Shishi Village, which was a mix of different surnames, Shishi Village was originally composed of many villagers who fled famine. But Ruanjia Village was different. Although the village was small, two-thirds of the people were surnamed Ruan, all descendants of the same family.

Because of this, Lu Sanzhu felt uneasy as soon as he entered Ruanjia Village, always looking around suspiciously, like a thief.

On the other hand, Shu Yu had a clear goal and soon stood at the door of the Ruan family.

The door of the Ruan family's courtyard was ajar, indicating that someone was at home.

Shu Yu was about to push the door in when he heard the voice of Old Lady Ruan from inside. "Alright, alright, I'll go cut the meat and send it to that unfilial daughter. Do we need to please them? Why spend money on her? I am her mother. She has found her second daughter, so why still hold grudges over past events?"

As she spoke, Old Lady Ruan had already opened the courtyard door and almost bumped into Shu Yu standing at the door.

She was surprised for a moment, raised her head to scold, but then saw Shu Yu's expressionless face.

Old Lady Ruan was taken aback. The next moment, her expression changed and she spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, isn't this Second Miss Lu from the Lu family who just returned to recognize her relatives? Have you finally remembered that you have us as your in-laws and come to pay us a visit?"

Without noticing the item in Shu Yu's hand as she lowered her head, Old Lady Ruan became even more displeased. "You came to visit relatives, but came empty-handed?"

Shu Yu didn't even look at her and pushed her aside, walking in on her own.

"Hey, you..." Old Lady Ruan hurriedly followed, pointing at Shu Yu's back and grumbling, "Don't you have any manners? You have no upbringing. You don't even greet your elders when you see them. Are you a mute?"

Shu Yu still ignored her and looked at the courtyard in front of her.

Not to mention the brick and tile house on one side, but the area of this courtyard was more than twice that of the Lu family.

Looking at the two brothers from the Ruan family who had just come out of the hall, they were indeed tall and strong, just as Lu Sanzhu had said. Compared to the thin and weak Lu Erbai, there was really a world of difference.

There were still crumbs of pastries remaining at the corners of their mouths, as if they were afraid that others would not know how well their Ruan family was doing.

The Ruan family had everything they had because of the silver they had earned from selling their belongings in the past.

Shu Yu looked around and happened to see an axe in the corner. He grabbed it and shook it in her hand.

Lu Sanzhu, who had just arrived at the gate of the Ruan family's courtyard, was shocked. He widened his eyes and quickly retreated his neck, silently looking into the courtyard without taking another step.

What did Er Ya want to do after all?

This was also what old lady Ruan wanted to ask. She had been scolding and ranting, but Shu Yu remained silent and did not respond, which made her feel embarrassed and angry. She ran up to her, blocking her way, and said, "You, little girl, I'm talking to you. What are you here for? You..."

"Shut up." Shu Yu suddenly stretched out her arm, and the axe in her hand almost hit old lady Ruan nose.

The old lady was so scared that her face turned pale. She took a step back and fell to the ground, almost wetting her pants.
