Chapter 802: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 802: Second Family Letter
Although there was no news from the capital, Shu Yu received a second letter from her family back home.
As usual, it was brought by Meng Yunzheng. Shu Yu happened to be in the county town that day, picking up the dried goods she had prepared during this period.
Meng Yunzheng arrived while the family was sitting around the table having dinner.
Da Hu now regarded Meng Yunzheng as his own master and showed great respect towards him. As soon as Meng Yunzheng arrived, the little guy immediately brought a chair for him and was about to pour tea.
Meng Yunzheng chuckled and said to him, "No need to pour tea. I'm just here to deliver a letter. Once I'm done, I'll leave."
In addition to the letter, there were some local specialties from home, prepared by Da Niu.
Of course, it wasn't much, but it was a thoughtful gesture.
Shu Yu wiped her mouth and took the letter from Meng Yunzheng.
After putting down the things he brought, Meng Yunzheng left. Shu Yu's grandmother quickly brought over the chicken soup that was simmering in the kitchen and caught up to him, handing it over. "Take this back and drink it. Da Hu said you've been working hard writing something. I can tell it's been tough. I planned to bring it over after dinner, but since you're here, just take it."
"Thank you, grandma."
Meng Yunzheng was now used to calling Shu Yu's grandmother "Grandma." The Lu family members weren't blind, and they could see what was going on between him and Shu Yu.
But they were all very satisfied with Meng Yunzheng. Shu Yu had reached a marriageable age, and the two of them looked good together. They were indeed a good match.
Once Shu Yu came of age, they could start discussing their wedding.
As for Zhao Xi's intentions towards Da Ya, the Lu family still wasn't aware of them. Perhaps Zhao Xi was being too subtle, as even Da Ya hadn't realized it yet.
Well, except for Shu Yu.
Meng Yunzheng left with the food box, while Shu Yu opened the thick letter in her hands.
Just like the previous letter, this one was also packed full of content.
As soon as she took it out, she saw that the first paragraph was indeed written by Da Bao.
Although his handwriting had improved a bit, just from the first sentence, she knew Da Bao was complaining about having to write so many words in his reply.
She decided to read his part last since it was too challenging for her.
Shu Yu first read Da Niu's letter, but it was brief and uninteresting. It followed the same pattern of reporting good news without mentioning any worries, briefly describing recent events at home.
Da Niu mentioned Lan Hua's marriage, which had already been arranged.
Da Niu had met the groom, and he didn't have any major flaws, just a bit lazy.
But Li Shi didn't think it was a big issue. After all, wasn't Lu Sanzhu lazy to the bone? Look at his current life. He had work in the county town, and life was going well. Both of his children were well-fed and chubby.
Moreover, the family that Lan Hua was going to marry into had decent conditions. They lived in the county town and had a small shop where they sold tofu.
Once Lan Hua entered the family, she wouldn't have to work in the fields. At most, she would help manage the shop, which was easy and comfortable.
Furthermore, Da Niu now lived in the county town. With him as an elder brother, nobody would dare to bully Lan Hua.
Although Da Niu couldn't argue with Li Shi, the groom, even if lazy, would still do the work if asked to.
He just wouldn't take the initiative. He was the type of person who wouldn't lift a finger even if the firewood at home fell down, but if someone reminded him, he would bend down to pick it up.
Let's not talk about that person. Nowadays, most men in the family were like that.
Da Niu couldn't expect everyone to be perfect. His own sister had her flaws too. As long as there were no major issues like violence, as long as they could adapt to each other, it would be acceptable.
