Chapter 722: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 722: Aunt Zhang Comes to Discuss Marriage
When this person saw Shu Yu, they instinctively wanted to call her. But then they realized that what she had come to discuss with the old lady was not suitable for her to hear. Since Shu Yu had already left, they didn't call out to her.
They turned around and entered the Lu family's courtyard, looking at the old lady and calling out, "Aunt Lu, are you busy?"
Carrying a bucket of water, Shu Yu hurriedly arrived at the riverside. The fish Fang Xiyue had brought was a grass carp and quite heavy, weighing about seven catties.
Grass carp had tender meat and was suitable for making pickled vegetable fish.
Shu Yu felt quite tired, especially with the heavy bucket, as she reached the riverside.
There weren't many people by the river at this time, but she still found a spot downstream to start cleaning the fish.
Just as she was halfway through cleaning, she noticed a few people nearby who were planning to wash clothes. Shu Yu glanced up and didn't recognize them.
However, those people were quite familiar with Shu Yu. After all, she was the first prisoner to become a steward in Zhengdao Village, and she was also a woman. Especially as a newcomer to this place, she had become something of a legend in Zhengdao Village in just a short time.
One of the bolder girls walked towards Shu Yu, seeing her cleaning the fish, and quickly squatted down with a smile, "Miss Lu, let me help you. I'm quite skilled at killing fish."
Shu Yu looked up and saw that the girl seemed to be about the same age as herself, and she seemed a bit nervous when speaking.
Shu Yu shook her head and smiled, "No need, I'm almost done. You should go about your business quickly. Don't get yourself dirty in a little while."
The girl opened her mouth to say something, but seeing that Shu Yu lowered her head again, clearly not wanting help, she felt a bit regretful and walked away, turning her head three times as she left.
She went back to her group of sisters and squatted down to wash clothes.
However, soon someone sneered and laughed, whispering, "Still trying to please her? She doesn't even care about you. I don't know why you're so proud. Even if she's a steward, she's still a prisoner banished to this place."
"Xiaoqiao, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Why are you so angry? Aren't you just interested in her older brother? But her older brother wouldn't look at someone like you unless you had something to offer. Although you're not a prisoner, after her brother becomes a doctor with a good future, even if he marries, he won't choose someone like you."
"You..." The girl angrily stood up, threw the clothes back into the basin, and was about to confront her.
The others rushed over to mediate.
Shu Yu was far away, and those girls were upstream. However, a few words spoken by Xiaoqiao happened to drift down on the wind.
She raised her head, furrowing her brows. Interested in her older brother? Who? Da Niu...
Oh, No, it was Zhao Xi.
Shu Yu clicked her tongue and sighed. She hadn't realized that Zhao Xi wasn't in Zhengdao Village anymore, but his legend still lingered in the village.
She shook her hand, placed the cleaned fish in the bucket, and carefully washed her hands twice before standing up and carrying the bucket back home.
But as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Aunt Zhang talking to the old lady.
Shu Yu was taken aback. "Aunt Zhang?"
Seeing her return, Aunt Zhang didn't continue speaking and instead stood up to take her leave. "Then I'll go back first. Aunt Lu, Shu Yu, you can continue with your tasks."
The old lady nodded, and Aunt Zhang nodded in Shu Yu's direction before leaving.
Shu Yu set the water bucket down and asked curiously, "Grandmother, did Aunt Zhang come over for something?"
"Oh, she came to discuss a marriage proposal."
Tl's note
***7 catties is equivalent to 4.2 kg
Shu Yu us really a steward but some prisoners refer her as a manager as she manages them also supervisor but her role is really a steward of Zhuangzi/manor/state
