Chapter 872: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 872: The Third Branch, Completely Different from the First Branch
Lu Sanzhu initially thought that Hu Li was there to accompany his mother, but he was surprised to see Hu Li also bringing a carriage.
"Brother Hu, are you coming with us to Shishi Village?" Lu Sanzhu asked in confusion.
Brother Hu???
Shu Yu turned her head abruptly and looked at the two of them who were close together. "Third Uncle, you really call officer Hu 'brother'?"
She had called him brother Hu before. Wasn't this confusing the generation?
Lu Sanzhu smirked awkwardly and said proudly, "Brother Hu helped me out, and we've had a few drinks together. That's why we've become familiar."
Shu Yu stood next to the mule cart, even more astonished.
It was Liang Shi who ran up and gave her an explanation, and everyone understood.
In contrast to the unfortunate situation of the First Branch, after the news of Shu Yu's exile spread throughout the city, Lu Sanzhu not only wasn't dismissed by the Taolin family, but his wages were even raised again.
Lu Sanzhu was a smart person and keenly felt the change in attitude from his coworkers after the rumors spread.
Even the Taolin family came over and indirectly inquired about Shu Yu's situation. At this point, there was no point in hiding anymore, so he simply told them everything.
The Taolin family didn't say much at the time, but their expressions were indeed quite complex.
Lu Sanzhu's sense of crisis was instantly triggered, and after finishing work that day, he carried two jugs of wine and sat outside the county government office.
He only had contact with Hu Li from the county government, so when Hu Li appeared, he rushed over to pour out his grievances.
The next day, Hu Li specially went to Taolin to have a friendly conversation with Lu Sanzhu. They walked around Taolin while shoulder to shoulder, making sure that the other coworkers, supervisors, and even the Taolin family saw that Lu Sanzhu was being protected by the county government officials.
Afterward, Lu Sanzhu took out the tea leaves that Shu Yu had sent and gave them to the Taolin family.
When the Taolin family heard that it was sent by Shu Yu from the southwest, they realized that even though she had been exiled, her life wasn't bad. Otherwise, how could she afford to send such things?
Moreover, the county magistrate was still supporting the Lu family.
They heard that Xiang Weinan had connections in the capital. If he really wanted to protect Shu Yu, he might be able to accomplish it.
The Taolin family had treated Lu Sanzhu quite well from the start. Although this person seemed carefree, he was clever in his actions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have received several wage increases.
They were just worried that Shu Yu's exile would affect Lu Sanzhu and, in turn, affect them.
Since Xiang Weinan was supporting them, the Taolin family was no longer afraid. They not only praised Lu Sanzhu generously but also gave him another raise.
The Lu family listened in silence and couldn't find the words to respond.
What could they say? Impressive, Third Uncle??? He managed to carve out a bright future for himself.
After a long silence, the old lady turned her head and said to the person behind her, "Da Niu, you should learn from your Third Uncle."
Lu Sanzhu's eyes lit up, vigorously nodding from behind.
It was truly rare. His mother had always praised Da Niu and belittled him. In the past, she would have asked him to learn from Da Niu, but now it had reversed.
But who would have known that in the next moment, they would hear the old lady say, "Learn from his shamelessness. It's because you have thin skin that you are easily taken advantage of."
Lu Sanzhu was dissatisfied. "Mother, how am I shameless? I'm just... smart and resourceful. I have a quick mind. People like me who frequently get wage increases, is it all because of thick skin? No, no, no, it's because I have real skills. Right, Ah Yu?"
