Chapter 286: Did You Steal It?

 Chapter 286: Did You Steal It?

Lu Sanzhu and his wife huddled in the kitchen, sipping ginger soup and whispering excitedly while discussing something about seven taels of silver. The old lady couldn't be bothered with them, shaking her head and asking about Lan Hua instead. "Why didn't you come here in the morning when you came to the county town? What did you have for lunch?" Lan Hua replied in a low voice, "I came to sell ribbons. I've been saving up for a long time and came with a girl from the same village. I planned to come find you after selling the ribbons, but I didn't expect such an incident to happen. I had some self-made cakes for lunch." In fact, she didn't reveal a hidden thought in her heart. She intentionally dressed up in the same way Shu Yu did earlier when she came to the county town. She had practiced this attire for a long time at home. Several people complimented her appearance when she left. Although she was happy about it, she also felt a bit guilty. She was afraid that Shu Yu would see through her little scheme when she arrived, so she didn't dare to come find the old lady and them immediately. She thought it would be better to sell the ribbons first. "What about the girl from the same village?" Lan Hua replied, "We planned to sell our ribbons at Peach Blossom Forest in the afternoon, but we separated. She had better luck and sold all the ribbons to a group of girls quickly. She came to find me and said she was going back. I didn't sell many ribbons, and I didn't want to leave yet, so I told her I would come find you later and asked her to go back first." The old lady nodded and patted her hand. "Next time you go to an unfamiliar place, don't go alone. It doesn't matter if you can't sell the ribbons, safety is more important. When you go back later, you can go with Lao San and his wife. Your mother will definitely nag endlessly when she sees your swollen eyes." Lan Hua shrank her neck at the thought of how Li Shi might react. "It's fine, my father is there." "As long as you understand." This time, eldest son's authority was useless. First, second son's family moved to the county town and opened a shop. Now, third son and his wife also found work and would be coming over tomorrow. People who used to have a worse life than eldest family were now becoming city dwellers. Eldest son's wife must be going crazy with anger, right? The old lady shook her head silently and shouted into the kitchen, "Lao San, Lao San's wife, it's getting late. Hurry up and go back. Didn't you say you need to prepare your luggage when you go back? Don't delay." Lu Sanzhu happily ran out and said, "Mother, we'll leave now." "Yes, go quickly." Lu Sanzhu then grinned at Shu Yu, and the latter sighed. "I know, you can borrow the mule cart for a day." "Ah Yu is so considerate." He finished speaking and went to lead the mule cart. Just as he placed his hand on the reins, he suddenly seemed to remember something and immediately stopped. He hurriedly ran back, approaching Shu Yu and whispering, "Ah Yu, come here. I forgot to tell you something." The old lady grew impatient. "What are you lingering for?" "Mother, just a moment, wait." Lu Sanzhu pulled Shu Yu and ran back into the house. The people in the courtyard exchanged puzzled glances, and the old lady rolled her eyes. Shu Yu followed Lu Sanzhu into the house, and he closed the door behind them. "What are you doing?" Lu Sanzhu quickly approached her and fumbled in his sleeve, taking out a jade pendant. "This is for you. It belongs to those three young masters." Shu Yu was startled and accepted the jade pendant. She found it to have an exquisite touch, and upon closer inspection, the carving was of top quality. She looked at Lu Sanzhu in astonishment. "Did you... Did you steal it?" "How is that possible?!"
