Chapter 94: Has the Lu Family Gone Crazy?
Although Shu Yu was far away, she could hear a few voices suddenly raising their tone with a weird intonation.
"Look at the Lu family, they're really doing well. This family not only goes to the county town every day, but also rents mules. What's wrong, their legs aren't working anymore? They're more precious than us, who can still walk."
"You don't understand. That young lady who just came back from the city is obviously someone who has never suffered. Whenever she has a few coins in her hand, she spends them recklessly. Wait and see, once she's spent all her money, she'll be in for some hard times."
"Yeah, she's been back for so many days, and I haven't seen her go to the fields, or feed the pigs, or even wash clothes by the river. Every day, she just goes to the county town and comes back with all kinds of delicious food."
Someone tried to intervene, "Alright, let's stop talking about this. It's their own business."
"Why can't we talk about it? As far as I'm concerned, the Lu family should thank old lady Ruan. If it weren't for her selling her daughter to a wealthy man, who knows if they could live such a good life now? Not to mention, they could afford to come back and use their money to cure Lu's second son's leg, and buy them delicious food every day."
Suddenly, Shu Yu pulled on the reins, and the mule immediately stopped
She turned her head and looked at those women with a smile, "Since you mentioned old lady Ruan, have you heard about me smashing her house? What's the matter, do you want me to help you smash something while I'm here?"
The women were momentarily choked and dared not speak.
How could they forget that this girl could even take action against her own grandmother and uncle, and had a ruthless heart?
What if she got upset and went to their homes and smashed things around?
Shu Yu coldly swept her gaze over them, "Also, this mule cart wasn't rented, I bought it. If you're not happy, keep it to yourselves."
Bought? Bought a mule cart?
Has the Lu family gone crazy? What's the point of buying a mule cart that can't plow the fields or pull a millstone? They just keep it at home every day and feed it?
Shu Yu didn't bother to pay any attention to them and urged the mule cart to move on.
However, news of Lu Er Ya's purchase of a mule cart quickly spread throughout the village.
Shu Yu didn't think about hiding it, because it was impossible to keep such a thing a secret, especially since they were about to open a shop soon.
When she returned home, San Ya and Da Hu had already rushed out to greet her.
"Second sister, you're back?"
"Er Ya, you're back?" Even Da Bao followed up behind.
Shu Yu was surprised. Their relationship had become this good already?
She got off the mule cart and asked San Ya, "Is mother at home making medicine for father? And did grandma go to Uncle's house?"
"Yes, mother is making medicine for father, and grandmother went to Uncle's house."
"Okay, let's go inside and talk." As for the mule cart, it couldn't fit in Lu's small yard, so Shu Yu's gaze fell on the opposite house of Lu Sanzhu.
Hmm, Uncle San Zhu's yard was more spacious. Especially since he and Aunt were lazy and didn't plant anything in the yard, it was empty except for a few chickens in the corner.
Thinking about it, Shu Yu's mind was made up, and just as the thought came to her, she heard Lu Sanzhu's voice shouting from behind.
"Er Ya, I heard you bought a mule cart? Is this the mule cart you bought?"
Shu Yu turned her head and saw Lu Sanzhu's eyes glowing as he ran quickly towards them.
In the blink of an eye, he had stopped in front of the mule cart, almost failing to stop his feet from colliding with it.
Just like modern men who have little resistance to the charm of cars, men of this era also had pitiful resistance to mule carts and horse carts.
