Chapter 152: Both of Them Are Ruined

 Chapter 152: Both of Them Are Ruined

Lu Sanzhu widened his eyes in disbelief. "He got beaten up too? How is that even possible?"

He swallowed hard. "It must be the same kind of people Zhang Shu encountered. That's why this incident has become so big."

Shu Yu also agreed, "Well, now we don't have to worry about Zhang Shu seeking revenge on us anymore." A blind and mute man with a scandalous reputation would surely find it difficult to even leave his house.

Moreover, with Zhang Shu in his current state, he wouldn't be able to work as a casual laborer anymore. The first and second households of the Zhang family were selfish individuals who would definitely not be willing to support such a 'sick' younger brother-in-law.

The good days of the Zhang family were over.

After Lu Sanzhu finished recounting this major event, he left to inform others.

Shu Yu thought that Third Uncle really had a big mouth.

However, when Third Uncle returned in the evening, he brought them another piece of big news.

"Mother, Second Brother, I'm back! Let me tell you, the Zhang family has returned."

This time, Lu Erbai didn't stop his actions. He had finished two models that Ah Yu had asked him to make, but it wasn't enough. He had to hurry and catch up on his work.

He had grown accustomed to Ly Sanzhu exaggerated manner by now.

So he continued his work while asking, "They've returned? Has Zhang Shu recovered?"

Lu Sanzhu shook his head vigorously. "He didn't recover. I heard that the village chief of Dayan Village, Village Chief Yan, also went to the county town with them. After all, thieves silently broke into the Zhang family's house and caused such harm to people. Village Chief  intends to report the incident to the authorities and get the constables to help investigate. But when they arrived in the county town, they found out that Zhou Jian had also been silenced and blinded. The constables have been running around in circles at Zhou's house."

"Zhou Jian?" Lu Erbai frowned. "The man who was with Zhang Shu?"

"Yes," Lu Sanzhu nodded emphatically. "But even after searching inside and outside Zhou's house, the constables didn't find any clues."

The identical fates of the two men left the townspeople terrified.

However, most people believed that someone targeted them because they had the forbidden vice of homosexuality. That's why they were attacked.

However, now Shu Yu was even more certain about the person behind the attack.

The Zhang family's matters were already in the past for the Lu family. After all, Da Ya and Zhang Shu had no connection anymore, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

Currently, the Lu family was busy with the preparations for opening their shop. After Da Ya returned, Ruan Shi's sewing speed increased significantly, and several finished garments were already hanging in the room.

Shu Yu was satisfied with the finished products, especially after trying them on herself. It further confirmed Ruan Shi and Da Ya's skills, and it eased her worries about the opening day.

The next day, Shu Yu went to the county town again.

Zheng Gong was already doing the finishing work, and they would be able to hand over the shop tomorrow.

Shu Yu prepared the wages for Zheng Gong separately and set them aside. She also set aside the silver needed for purchasing other items. Then, she looked at the remaining dozen or so taels of silver and felt a pang of heartache.

This money really doesn't last long. Look, after buying this and that, only this little is left.

Even though she only had this amount of silver, Shu Yu still went out and bought some pastries before going to find Meng Yunzheng.

When Meng Yunzheng saw Shu Yu coming, he didn't find it strange at all. He calmly invited her in and brought her water.

However, his eyebrows furrowed slightly when he saw the pastries she brought.

Following his gaze, Shu Yu placed the pastries on the table and smiled, "You did help me after all, so I'm grateful for that."
