Chapter 214: The Secretive Liang Family

 Chapter 214: The Secretive Liang Family

Ah Xiang had never imagined that she would also have a day where she could earn five hundred wen as a monthly wage. And she wasn't the only one; Xiang Di also earned the same. With the two of them combined, they would have at least one or two taels of silver per month, and the Lu family even provided them with accommodation. If they lived frugally, they could possibly save up ten taels of silver in a year. Moreover, if they could earn additional income, like the bonuses Shu Yu mentioned, of fifty or a hundred wen, it would be even better. By saving for two years like this, Xiang Di's dowry would become quite substantial. After Shu Yu finished explaining the conditions, she asked the two of them, "What do Auntie Xiang and Xiang Di think? If you have any questions, feel free to ask." "I have none," Ah Xiang shook her head repeatedly, "This is already very good." She had never even dreamed of having a steady job before. Previously, they would do odd jobs, grow some crops, and barely make ends meet as a mother and daughter. The current situation was already very good, and they would definitely do their best. Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Shu Yu stood up and said, "Alright then, it's decided. Auntie Xiang, I have something urgent to attend to, so if it's possible, can you both tidy up a bit tomorrow and settle the affairs at home, then start working in the county the day after tomorrow?" "That's possible, that's possible." Ah Xiang thought about their two mu of land and decided to temporarily ask the neighbor for help to take care of it. After the current harvest, they would rent out the land. As for the house, they had lived there for over a decade, and there were quite a few things accumulated inside. They would leave it for now. Once they were stable in the county, they could rent the house to the village head. Ah Xiang had already planned the arrangements in her mind. Shu Yu bid farewell and left. It was getting late, and if she didn't return, the old lady would worry about her. Ah Xiang and Fu Xiang Di walked the person to the gate, continuously watching her until she disappeared from their sight. Then, they returned to the courtyard with a faint excitement and quickly started preparing while it was still daylight. With a weight lifted off her shoulders, Shu Yu's footsteps back to Shishi Village became much lighter. As she walked back, she noticed villagers returning from the fields, and they would cast a few more glances at her. It seemed that after the news of them opening a shop spread, people looked at her differently. Shu Yu nodded slightly when she saw a few familiar faces and then quickened her pace toward the Lu family. However, just as she approached the door, she saw a figure peeking outside the gate, occasionally bending down and looking into the gap like a thief. Shu Yu furrowed her brows and approached closer, only to discover that the person was actually Liang Shi. She was momentarily speechless and took a few steps forward, patting her on the shoulder. Liang Shi was completely absorbed in staring at the courtyard when suddenly someone patted her from behind, causing her to startle and break out in a cold sweat. She turned around abruptly and let out a startled "ah" sound. Once she recognized the person standing in front of her, Liang Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, patting her chest and complaining, "It's you! You scared me to death! Why were you standing behind me so sneakily without saying a word?" Shu Yu pointed at herself and asked, "Sneakily? Are you sure?" Liang Shi paused, recalling the scene just now, and suddenly felt embarrassed. She touched her nose and forced a dry laugh, saying, "Um, well, I was just worried about your grandmother, you know?" As soon as she heard "grandmother," Shu Yu's expression immediately turned serious. "What happened to my grandmother?"
