Chapter 679: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Immediately after, Lu Erbai entered the house with a smile on his face.
Before he could look up to see the people in the courtyard, he turned around and invited the person behind him inside.
As he walked inside, he smiled and said, "wife, quickly pour two cups of warm water and prepare some snacks. Today, I need to have a good drink with brother Yao. Our stall matters have been resolved, all thanks to brother Yao."
Before he finished speaking, Shu Yu had already walked out of the main hall and stood on the steps, smiling brightly. "Father."
Lu Erbai was taken aback and immediately turned around, staring in astonishment at the figure standing not far away.
"Ah, Ah Yu!" Lu Erbai exclaimed in joy, quickly stepping forward a few steps and attentively examining her. "You're back? Have you been well these days?"
"I'm doing well, Father. We can talk about my matters later. Let's invite the guest inside first," Shu Yu said, standing on the steps.
Lu Erbai opened his mouth but then nodded. "Right, right, we'll talk later." He then turned his head and said to Carpenter Yao, who had entered the house, "brother Yao, this is the Second Miss of our family, as I mentioned to you before. Ah Yu, this is your Uncle Yao."
Shu Yu nodded and politely greeted him, "Uncle Yao."
He looked her up and down and smiled. "So, this is the highly praised Second Miss? She does indeed appear clever, but it's a pity she is burdened by her status."
The public explanation given by the Lu family was the same as in the village they were all here to search for their missing daughter.
in the Zhengdao village already knew about this, but not many people in the Heichang county were aware. Lu Erbai had mentioned it to Carpenter Yao during one of their conversations. There was no need to hide it. Being secretive about it would only arouse suspicions.
There were many prisoners in the Linzhang Prefecture. This place used to be desolate with few residents, but later it became a place of exile. Many prisoners were sent here and gradually settled down, married, and had children, continuing their lineage.
About half of the local residents could probably trace their ancestry back three generations, and they were likely descendants of prisoners.
Therefore, having a daughter like Shu Yu, who was exiled, didn't make the Lu family appear entirely evil, and there was no reason they couldn't interact with others.
At least for now, Carpenter Yao looked at Shu Yu without any disdain or contempt. Instead, he looked at her with the gaze of an elder towards a younger generation, and there was even a hint of pity.
Well, shouldn't there be some pity? She was an adopted daughter burdened by the inexplicable problems caused by the Shu family.
Shu Yu smiled and replied to Yao the Carpenter, "It's not a pity. After all, I found my family, and they love me dearly."
"That's true. Brother Lu is a rare and sincere person, just like me."
Shu Yu almost burst out laughing. Carpenter Yao was quite interesting. Was he praising her father or himself?
She led the two men into the kitchen. The food was already prepared.
Because of Shu Yu's return, dinner was plentiful, and there was no need for additional dishes to accompany the alcohol.
Ruan Shi brought out two jugs of wine. They didn't prepare a separate table for the guests since rural people didn't pay much
attention to such formalities when entertaining guests.
Shu Yu sat beside Lu Erbai and poured wine for him and Carpenter Yao. Then she asked, "Father, when you entered just now, you mentioned that the matters regarding our stall were resolved. What did you mean?"
Lu Erbai took a sip of wine, exhaled deeply, and said, "It's nothing major, it's already been resolved."
