Chapter 6: Shu Yu's Journey to Erbai Road

 Chapter 6: Shu Yu's Journey to Er bai's home 

Finally able to move, Uncle Hu tied up the basket and eagerly urged the ox cart forward.

Along the way, the topic that Shu Yu heard the most about was Liang Shi. Even the locals who were not from the same village seemed to know a lot about her.

Since Liang Shi had said she lived in Shishi Village, Shu Yu couldn't help but pay a little more attention. She had been quiet all this time, but was now listening carefully.

However, these people rarely mentioned Shishi Village. Most of them talked about how stingy and shameless Liang Shi was, and how she only cared about her own interests.

Not only Liang Shi, but also her husband, Lu Laosan.

Both of them were of the same character, so their only son had also grown up crooked. Not only did he bully other children in the village, but he also played tricks on his own relatives.

Whenever Lu Laosan and his wife were mentioned, everyone would shake their heads and sigh.

While listening to the gossip, the ox cart arrived at Shishi Village.

A few women had already gotten off at the first two villages, leaving the cart mostly empty. Shu Yu was the only one getting off at Shishi Village.

As soon as Shu Yu was about to get off, she saw a man squatting at the village entrance.

Uncle Hu shouted at him unhappily, "Lu Laosan."

Lu Laosan quickly ran over after hearing this, holding a piece of grass in his mouth. He counted his goods one by one after seeing his own basket, and only when he was satisfied did he pick it up and leave without even saying thank you. He went straight home.

Hu Shu spat at his back and was surprised when Lu Laosan suddenly turned around as if sensing something. He glared at Uncle Hu fiercely and asked, "What do you want?"

Uncle Hu was obviously a little afraid of him, so he got on the cart and ran away.

Then Lu Laosan quickly ran away as well.

Shu Yu thought to herself, "You guys are quite funny."

She had originally wanted to ask Lu Laosan for directions, but he had disappeared. She could only carry her pastries and meat and walk towards the village.

There weren't many people at the intersection, but there were a group of children playing there.

Shu Yu walked towards them and waved, asking, "Can I ask you guys something?"

The children who were playing around suddenly stopped and looked at her curiously.

Immediately, their eyes all fell on the snacks and pork she was carrying in her hands, and they swallowed their saliva fiercely.

Shu Yu felt like the things in her hands were as heavy as a thousand catties. She took out a few candies from her sleeve and handed them forward, saying, "Whoever answers my question gets this candy."

The candy was a bag of taffy that she had bought from a pastry shop earlier, just for this kind of situation.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, several children immediately jumped up and down, clamoring to answer her question. "I'll answer it! I know everything, you can ask me anything."

"You're talking nonsense. You don't know anything. I know it. I'm the boss."

Shu Yu quickly raised her hand and said, "Then can any of you tell me where the Lu Erbai family in Shishi Village is located?"

Lu Erbai?

The children looked at each other, and the names of the adults were still somewhat unfamiliar to them.

Fortunately, the names of the Lu family's adults were a bit easier to remember than others. Immediately, a bigger child called out, "I know."

Shu Yu looked at him.

The child immediately pointed not far away and said, "Lu Erbai is the father of that ugly little girl over there."

Shu Yu frowned and looked up to see a little girl walking slowly towards them. She didn't look very old, and she had a big basket on her back, filled with pig grass. She was walking very slowly and with great difficulty.
