Chapter 886: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 886: Returning to the County Town
Not only Lu Dasong, but even Old Madam and the others who were planning to get on the mule carts stopped abruptly and turned to look at Shu Yu.
Old Madam hurriedly walked over. "Shu Yu, you want to repair the ancestral graves?"
"Yes, I've returned in glory, so it's only right to repair the ancestral graves."
Old Madam frowned. "Why do you need to do it? Your grandfather has three sons. Let them do it. But now they don't have any achievements yet, so we can wait until they have money..."
"Grandmother." Shu Yu interrupted her. "Now is the most suitable time."
Lu Erbai, who was standing by, nodded after a moment of silence and said to Old Madam, "Mother, Shu Yu is right. She has returned in glory and become the village lord. Everyone is discussing it fervently. The villagers already know about the content of the imperial decree, including the gold that the Emperor rewarded. Today, Shu Yu went up the mountain to pay respects to our ancestors, and after coming down, she proposed to repair the ancestral graves. Everyone thinks Shu Yu is filial and grateful."
Perhaps Shu Yu didn't care about her reputation, just like when she went to the Ruan family with an axe, she didn't mind being called unfilial.
But as the father, Lu Erbai didn't think the same way. Shu Yu was about to come of age and would soon be married. The matter of repairing the ancestral graves would only benefit her and had no drawbacks.
After hearing this, Old Madam also found it reasonable.
However, she couldn't help but glare at her three sons. It was all their fault for being useless, otherwise, why would it fall on Shu Yu, the younger generation, to repair the ancestral graves?
Lu Erbai rubbed his nose. In Old Madam's eyes, he was probably nothing more than a weed.
With no objections from anyone, Lu Dasong nodded and said, "Alright, then. I'll take care of this. Don't worry."
"In that case, Uncle, it's up to you." Shu Yu got on the mule cart.
The people from the main house stood at the village entrance and watched their carriages leave.
Lu Dasong was overjoyed. He was the happiest about being able to repair the ancestral graves. He turned around and walked back home, ready to start working on the matter as soon as possible.
Lan Hua and Er Niu were also excited. They walked back with their heads held high. Seeing the envious glances from the villagers, the two of them couldn't help but exchange a smile.
Only Li Shi stood in the same spot for a long time, feeling a bit jealous. She also wanted to go to the county town, but just now, Old Madam called her aside and severely reprimanded her, saying that if she caused any more trouble, Lu Dasong would divorce her.
Now, Li Shi didn't dare to provoke Old Madam. With Shu Yu supporting her, she felt quite smug.
The two mule carts soon headed toward the county town. As they approached the city gate, the road became wider. Lu Sanzhu hurriedly urged the mule cart to speed up and squeezed onto the same line as Shu Yu.
Then he handed the reins to Da Niu, who was also sitting on the cart shaft, and turned his head to smirk at Shu Yu. "Shu Yu."
Seeing his expression, Shu Yu couldn't help but sigh. "What's the matter?"
"Shu Yu, let's go and see that mansion after we return to the county town."
Shu Yu looked at the sky. "It's getting late. That mansion is a large courtyard with three sections. I heard from Xiang Daren that it even has a large backyard. If we want to see it all, it will be dark."
Old Madam also pushed aside the curtain and looked over, glaring at him. "Lao San, don't cause trouble for me. When we get back, we still have to see the rented courtyard and organize things. We don't have so much time to take you to explore the mansion. We'll go tomorrow."
