Chapter 261: Let's Get Busy

 Chapter 261: Let's Get Busy

Liang Shi sat on the side, picked up the folding fan on the table, and fanned herself twice before speaking, "Isn't it market day today? We came to join the market and also sell some dried goods we previously dried. After selling them, we came to visit mother and all of you." Join the market? Shu Yu knew that Lu Sanzhu and his wife weren't fond of working in the fields, but Lu Sanzhu liked to wander around, occasionally going up the mountain. It wasn't for hunting though, as he couldn't hunt. But he would go and find the traps set by hunters. If he was lucky, he would come across trapped prey. He would simply take the trapped prey for himself, either selling it or eating it. Well, it was quite unethical. And to conceal his unethical behavior, he would intentionally pick up some mountain goods and put them in his backpack to cover up while he walked down the mountain. After all, he was afraid of encountering hunters and getting beaten up. With repeated instances, he ended up accumulating a lot of mountain goods, which Liang Shi collect and bring to sell on market days. However, these were all common items, and they couldn't fetch a high price. It was just to make some copper coins. Shu Yu understood this and didn't ask further. Instead, she got up and went to the kitchen. Seeing her heading to the kitchen, Lu Sanzhu and Liang Shi hurriedly followed. The two of them were quite self-aware and immediately started looking for food upon entering the kitchen. However, after searching around, they found nothing. Lu Sanzhu looked pitifully at Shu Yu and said, "Ah Yu, we've been busy for quite a while, and we're tired. Besides, we're hungry." "Don't you have some cakes with you?" Lu Sanzhu choked, "They taste terrible. The child's mother can't cook." Liang Shi, "...he's resorting to personal attacks now?" Shu Yu glanced back at them and thought, "Let's fight, let's fight." Unfortunately, the two didn't fulfill her wish. Shu Yu felt a bit disappointed, but when she saw the already prepared noodles in the kitchen, she grabbed two handfuls and said, "It's already late. Let's cook some noodles to eat. Help me with the fire." She estimated that at this time, the old lady and the eldest sister should be at the clothing store, delivering meals. They were nearby, and usually, the meals were prepared at home and sent over for the entire family to eat together. Before leaving, Shu Yu had informed the old lady that she wasn't sure when she would return, so there was no need to save her a meal. That's why the stove was empty at the moment. Lu Sanzhu immediately went outside and brought in a pile of firewood, while Liang Shi cleaned the pots and started the fire. Shu Yu cooked the noodles herself, as Liang Shi's culinary skills... were not great, and she didn't want to compromise the taste. Lu Sanzhu and Liang Shi happily ate the noodles, but when they saw Shu Yu adding meat and eggs and scooping a large spoonful of lard, Lu Sanzhu couldn't help but twitch his eyelids. He didn't mind it before, but now... While eating the noodles, Lu Sanzhu tactfully asked, "Ah Yu, are there still many clothes in the store? What I mean is, if you're overwhelmed, let the child's mother help. Don't worry, she won't ask for a wage." Liang Shi's foot, hidden under the table, stomped down hard. Lu Sanzhu stared back at her, conveying with his eyes: I'm inquiring about the clothing store's business, do you understand? If it's not doing well, Ah Yu is treating us so well for no reason, and this meal is no different from the last meal before execution. It's a sign of something big about to happen. Liang Shi's appetite was instantly affected, but even with such delicious noodles, she still ate them quickly. The only one who remained unfazed was Shu Yu. She ate quickly and finished a mouthful of soup before answering Lu Sanzhu's question, "Oh, there aren't many clothes left in the store. Speaking of which, we do need Third Auntie to help with some work."
