Chapter 882: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 882: Going Up the Mountain to Sweep the Tomb
At this moment, Li Shi was eager to show herself, so she readily agreed without hesitation.
Moreover, the Second Branch had money now, and they must have bought a lot of grain. They would eat one meal at home, and the rest would be left to them, right?
Old Madam Lu glanced at Li Shi with disdain. She then nodded at Liang Shi and Lu Sixing, "You two go and help. Second family and I will go up the mountain first."
After discussing, the family realized it was getting late and prepared to set off.
In addition to Old Madam Lu and the Second family, Da Niu and Lu Dasong also accompanied them.
Lu Sanzhu didn't want to climb the mountain and get tired. He had just offered incense to the old man during the Qingming Festival not long ago. He had even spent a lot of money on food and burned a lot of paper money because his wages had increased. The old man would definitely feel his filial piety.
But he didn't want to miss the opportunity to get closer to Shu Yu, so he sighed and followed behind.
The road up the mountain was not easy to walk. Shu Yu and Da Niu supported the Old Madam on either side, carefully watching their steps, afraid that snakes, insects, rats, or ants would come out of the grass.
Shu Yu had been here once before. After recognizing her ancestry, she had come to visit her deceased grandfather and ancestors.
The previous time, the road was even worse, and it had just rained. Old Madam Lu had almost slipped.
It was said that when those who had made a fortune returned to their hometowns, they would renovate their ancestral homes and tombs.
Shu Yu had money now, and her grandfather's tomb was indeed simple. She thought that now that they had a big house to live in, her grandfather and ancestors should have an improved living environment.
Now, walking on the mountain path, this idea became even stronger.
When they reached the mountain and found her grandfather's tomb, Old Madam Lu knelt down first and offered incense.
The descendants behind her all knelt down and respectfully kowtowed.
Perhaps it was because the First and Third Houses had just come, but the area around the tomb was quite clean, with not much weeds. They were all short and small, as if they had just sprouted.
Old Madam Lu muttered as she burned the paper money, "Old man, our Ah Yu has become the Village Lord. Isn't that bringing glory to our ancestors? You can walk with your head held high down there. Our days will only get better in the future. It's a pity that you left early and couldn't enjoy it. But it's alright. I'll often offer incense and burn paper money for you. This time, I bought a lot of gold ingots to burn for you, so you can experience what it's like to be wealthy."
After Old Madam Lu finished speaking, she let Shu Yu come forward.
After the family finished burning the paper money for their grandfather, they went to offer incense to the nearby ancestors. When the fire was extinguished, they descended the mountain and returned home.
Old Madam Lu was in good spirits and walked quite steadily on the way down. By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, she didn't need anyone's support anymore and walked ahead by herself.
Shu Yu followed a few steps behind, and Da Niu slowly walked up to her.
"What's wrong, brother Da Niu?" Shu Yu asked.
"Ah Yu, now that you've returned, we should return the shop to you. Whenever you're free, let me know, and I'll give you the account book. You can take back the shop. Qiao Qiao and I will start packing things up."
Shu Yu shook her head as she walked, "No rush. I still need your help to manage the shop for a while longer. Just talk directly to Big Sister about the accounts later. She will probably be the one in charge of the shop in the future."
Da Niu was surprised, "But Second Uncle..."
