Chapter 677: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl

 Chapter 677: Where is Lu Erbai?

After Shu Yu dropped off the group, she took out the two bags she had prepared in the cart.

Taking advantage of the handover between the official and the post station supervisor, she handed them to Hou Shi. "These are snacks prepared by my grandmother for you. It's not much, but it's something for you to have on the way. The food you had before was finished by the Shu family members. Since you've just arrived and don't have anything, please take these."

Hou Shi pursed her lips, feeling a mix of emotions. As the person who had squandered her life-saving food, it was the unrelated adopted daughter of the Shu family who had considered her so thoughtfully.

She took a deep breath. "Thank you."

Shu Yu shook her head and handed her five taels of silver. "The weather is getting colder. Use this to buy some quilts and warm clothes so you can sleep more comfortably at night."

"We can't accept this."

Shu Yu insisted, passing the silver to her. "Take it. If you feel guilty, consider it a loan from me. You can repay me in the future. There will be many opportunities while working at this post station. Occasionally, generous customers may even reward you with silver. You'll be able to save up quickly. After we part today, we won't see each other often. You'll have to rely on yourselves for everything, so take care."

Hou Shi felt the silver in her hands burning, but Shu Yu was right. She needed the money now, and she could indeed repay it in the future.

She no longer refused and said earnestly, "I can only escape from the Shu family and have the life I have now thanks to you, Ah Yu. Thank you. I will definitely repay you."

Shu Yu's good deeds would later bring her good karma, and Hou Shi did, in fact, give her a significant gift.

However, that's a story for another time.

After giving Hou Shi her instructions, Shu Yu saw the official coming out, so she didn't say much more. She bid Hou Shi to take care and left the post station.

The official rode her mule cart back to the county, but when they reached the county, he didn't ask Shu Yu to take him back to the village.

He found another cart passing by and leisurely returned on it.

Shu Yu felt relieved as soon as he left. She eagerly headed back to the Lu family.

She arrived later than usual, already past noon. San Ya was sitting on the steps outside the gate, supporting her chin as if she was waiting for Shu Yu.

Hearing the sound of the wheels, the little girl looked up and immediately recognized her second sister. She stood up and ran back into the courtyard.

"Second sister is back."

Shu Yu smiled and shook her head. When the cart reached the gate, she jumped down from the cart shaft.

Da Ya had already come out and helped drive the cart into the gate.

"You finally returned. Quickly, wash your face and eat."

Shu Yu let go of the reins and took the cloth San Ya handed to her, wiping her face. Then, she went straight into the kitchen. "I could smell the delicious aroma from afar. What's for dinner?"

Grandma and Ruan Shi were bringing several plates of warm dishes from the stove. Upon hearing Shu Yu's question, they turned their heads and said, "It's all your favorite dishes. Has Hou Shi and Sixth Miss arrived?"

"They have. Everything went smoothly." Shu Yu sat at the dining table and picked up her chopsticks to take a bite of the meat. "I visited the post station, and it's pretty good. Not too crowded either. Aunt Hou and Sixth Miss were arranged by prefect magistrate, and their attitude is good. Hou Shi is shrewd and understands human nature. She shouldn't have any major issues working there."

"That's good." Grandma placed a bowl of rice in front of Shu Yu and urged everyone else to sit down.

Shu Yu looked around but didn't see Lu Erbai. Curiously, she asked, "Where's Father? Why haven't I seen him?"
