Chapter 270: Tang Wenqian is Here Too

The southern part of the city was quite far, but Shu Yu mule cart was still there. After everyone got on the cart, they headed straight for the Peach Blossom Forest. As they went further south, the surroundings became increasingly beautiful and tranquil. It wasn't until they reached the entrance of the Peach Blossom Forest that the liveliness suddenly erupted. The Peach Blossom Forest had been there for a long time and welcomed all visitors who were interested in enjoying the scenery. However, the common people were burdened with the weight of their daily lives, leaving them little time to visit such places. As Madam Wen had mentioned, most of the people who came here were scholars who engaged in exchanging poetry or idle young men and ladies who came for outings. Shu Yu got off the cart and followed Madam Wen as they walked towards the Peach Blossom Forest. "They usually gather at the pavilion inside to write and discuss scholarly matters. We'll reach there if we continue walking." Shu Yu nodded, while Lu Sanzhu, who was trailing behind them, looked around impatiently. After walking for a while, Da Hu suddenly tugged at Shu Yu's sleeve, excitedly saying, "Second sister, it's Scholar Tang." Shu Yu turned her head and indeed saw Scholar Tang standing not far away under a peach tree, accompanied by several other students. Lu Sanzhu didn't expect to encounter a familiar person from the same village here. Without a second thought, he wanted to go over there, saying, "Let's go and say hello." However, Shu Yu quickly pulled him back after taking a few steps. "What are you doing? Can't you see they're busy?" They weren't close relatives, so why bother disturbing them? Lu Sanzhu let out a sigh, lowered his head, and silently returned. Meanwhile, Da Hu's emotions shifted from nervousness to excitement. He liked this place. It seemed like everyone here had profound knowledge, and even Scholar Tang was here. Shu Yu knew that he had always admired scholars. Previously, Tang Wenqian was the most remarkable person in his eyes. Now... it seemed that might be changing soon. They continued following behind Madam Wen and walked further inside. However, not long after they left, Tang Wenqian, who was in the middle of a conversation with his classmates, suddenly turned his head and looked at their figures in surprise. Why were they here? "Tang Xiong, Tang Xiong, what are you looking at? It's your turn," one of his classmates reminded him. Tang Wenqian snapped back to attention, smiled at his classmates, and focused his attention again. But within the Peach Blossom Forest at that moment, besides Tang Wenqian, there was another person observing Shu Yu's figure not far away—Xiang Weinan. He looked at her back in astonishment, furrowing his brows, and asked the person next to him, Hu Li, "Is that Miss Lu?" "Yes, it is." "Is she in such a good mood? How does she even have the leisure to come here for a stroll?" Xiang Weinan couldn't understand Shu Yu's thought process. "Hu Li, are you sure she didn't come to the county office seeking my help?" Hu Li shook his head with certainty. "Sir, I specifically instructed the gatekeepers that if they see Miss Lu or any other member of the Lu family, they should not stop them and immediately inform you. But in these past few days, there hasn't been any member of the Lu family coming to the office." Xiang Weinan furrowed his brows tightly. "Why is she not worried at all about Jiang Li's ill intentions towards her? Or perhaps, is she actually pleased to be noticed by Young Master Jiang and is waiting to marry into the Jiang family?" Hu Li rolled his eyes discreetly. Sir, even if you're feeling frustrated, please don't talk nonsense like that. You know very well that Miss Lu is not that kind of person, yet you intentionally say such things. He cleared his throat and reminded Xiang Weinan, "Sir, didn't Young Master Jiang get his head bashed in? Naturally, Miss Lu doesn't need to worry anymore."

Chapter 269: Meeting Master Wen

Chapter 269: Meeting Master Wen

Shu Yu nodded. "We have considered it, but we still feel that Shu Xiong is more suitable for the Shu Xian Academy." Madam Wen was a clever person, and although Shu Yu didn't say it explicitly, she immediately understood the implied meaning. Her meaning was that if she wanted her younger brother to go to another academy, she wouldn't have initially chosen the Shu Xian Academy, which could potentially have problems. Even if their Wen family really encountered trouble, she might not necessarily choose another academy, so there would be no need to consider whether the other party would accept him. Regardless, Madam Wen was happy that her husband could receive such affirmation. In these days, there were too many people dampening the spirits of their Wen family, to the point that Madam Wen didn't even want to leave the house. She didn't expect to hear such subtle praise from a young girl's mouth. Madam Wen was in a good mood and stood up, saying, "Alright, based on your words, I will accept Da Hu on behalf of our family." Da Hu was slightly excited and was about to bow. Madam Wen supported him with her hand and said, "No need to hurry, we still need to go through the formal ceremony of apprenticeship. After that, I will be your master." Shu Yu smiled and said, "Then we will trouble Madam Wen. We will prepare for the ceremony and visit you tomorrow." Liu Shi nodded. "No problem." With the matter settled, Shu Yu planned to leave with Da Hu. Lu Sanzhu didn't say a word throughout and had been eating snacks the entire time. As it turns out, the snacks from a scholarly family were delicious, he didn't know how they were made. After finishing one plate, he was still waiting for the Wen family's servants to bring another plate when Shu Yu announced that they were leaving. He subconsciously stood up and asked, "Are we leaving already? We haven't even met Master Wen yet. Is it not appropriate to leave like this?" Shu Yu rubbed her forehead. It seems that he was too focused on eating and didn't listen to a single word, huh? She felt that bringing Lu Sanzhu along was a wrong decision. Fortunately, Liu Shi was a kind person and smiled when she heard this, saying, "My husband has gone out and may not return until evening." As she said this, she suddenly paused and looked at the naive Dahuzi, suggesting, "However, if you want to see him, you can go. He made an appointment with some friends today to compose poetry and discuss academics. Since Da Hu is going to study there, there's no harm in going to take a look." Shu Yu was taken aback. "Can we go? Will it disturb Master Wen?" "Not at all. They made an appointment to go to the Peach Blossom Forest in the south of the city. It's not a secret place. There are often scholars or young ladies and gentlemen gathering there for outings or holding poetry gatherings. The scenery is exquisite. Why don't we go and take a look together?" The Peach Blossom Forest in the south of the city? Shu Yu had never been there, but she had heard it mentioned before. She had always been busy and didn't have the leisure to wander around, let alone investigate it in detail. Now that Dahuzi was about to enter school, it was a place where literati often visited, so he would naturally come into contact with it. It wouldn't hurt to go and see it in advance. Shu Yu nodded. "Then... I'll trouble Madam Wen to lead the way." "Let's go." Lu Sanzhu watched as the three of them walked out of the hall, staring blankly at the empty plate that had held the pastries. No, he didn't mean it like that. He didn't want to go to some laborious Peach Blossom Forest. He just wanted to quietly eat something. It wouldn't matter if he ate until Master Wen came back in the evening. Really.

Chapter 267: The Articulate Da Hu

Shu Yu looked at Da Hu, who appeared lively and spirited. It seemed that the little guy had a great enthusiasm for studying. She nodded slightly and said to Lu Sanzhu, "Father, then we'll go ahead." "Go ahead." Lu Sanzhu, who was wandering around the shop and noticed that Da Hu didn't even have a change of clothes, was amazed. He quickly ran over and said, "Wait for me, I'm coming too." As he spoke, seeing Lu Erbai frowning in disagreement, he immediately picked up Da Hu and put him on his shoulder before running out. Shu Yu, "..." She shook her head and hurriedly caught up. Lu Sanzhu was running fast, and from behind, it looked like he could stumble at any moment. Shu Yu watched with a pounding heart and quickly rushed up to say, "Third Uncle, put him down. What if he falls?" Lu Sanzhu was about to say it was no problem when Da Hu, sitting on his shoulder, replied with a serious face, "Don't worry, Second Sister. I'm holding onto Third Uncle's hair and neck tightly. If I fall, I'll grab his head as much as possible to prevent myself from falling." Lu Sanzhu was shocked by Da Hu's response and moved his head, feeling a strong sense of restraint. He instantly grimaced and said, "You little rascal, so you've already planned an escape route. I'm your Third Uncle, and you're using me as a stepping stone?" Da Hu replied earnestly, "I have to protect myself." "Then don't you need to protect me?" "But you're the one who's about to hurt me." Lu Sanzhu found himself unable to argue with Da Hu. Damn it, when did this little rascal become so articulate? Shu Yu, who was listening on the side, almost laughed to death. Did they misunderstand something? Even if Lu Sanzhu falls, it won't change the fact that Da Hu will also fall. She rubbed her forehead and reached out to lift Da Hu off Lu Sanzhu's shoulder. Lu Sanzhu snorted and felt that his authority as an elder uncle was being challenged, so as soon as he put down Da Hu, he glared at him fiercely. Da Hu, facing away from him, didn't feel his fierce gaze at all. He just held Shu Yu's hand and asked, "Second Sister, I'm a bit nervous. Do you think the teacher will ask me difficult questions? I just learned a little bit of the Three-Character Classic." Shu Yu held his hand and walked forward. "Don't be nervous. When the teacher asks you something, just answer honestly. Say how many characters you can write, and if you don't understand something, say you don't understand. That way, the teacher will know how to guide you in your studies. Understand?" Da Hu nodded. "I understand." The two of them soon walked a distance, and Lu Sanzhu stood still for a moment before gritting his teeth and following them. The school was not far away. Although Ning Shui Street was bustling and lively, it became quieter after crossing two streets. Shu Xian Academy was located here, and soon Shu Yu and Da Hu stood at the entrance. As expected, the main gate of the school was tightly closed, and there was no sound of studying. Shu Yu looked down at Da Hu. "Should I knock on the door?" "Um..." Da Hu nodded his head, but before he could finish, Lu Sanzhu hurriedly stepped forward and started knocking on the door. Shu Yu watched his rough behavior, and the veins on her forehead twitched. She was about to stop him when the door was opened from the inside. Then, a slightly old woman's face appeared from inside, and she looked at the three people in front of her. "May I ask who you are looking for?"

Chapter 268: Madam Wen

Chapter 268: Madam Wen

"Madam, we are here to find Master Wen. My surname is Lu, and this is my younger brother. He has come specifically to study," Shu Yu explained with a smile. The woman remained silent for a moment and nodded slightly. "Please wait." She closed the door again and walked away. Before long, she returned and opened the door, partially stepping aside. "Please come in. Madam is waiting for you inside." Madam? Could it be that Master Wen is not here? Shu Yu pondered as she walked inside and indeed saw a graceful and serene woman sitting in the main hall. When Madam Wen saw them enter, she greeted them and said with a smile, "Are you Master Lu and Miss Lu? Please have a seat." Lu Sanzhu felt delighted. He had never been called Master Lu before. Moreover, the other party was a learned scholar's wife. This feeling of being addressed like this was so comfortable. Shu Yu gestured with her eyes for him to behave and then sat down on the side. Madam Wen was very amiable, speaking softly and gently, making people feel at ease. She glanced at Dahui and said, "I heard that you have come here to study? This must be the little gentleman." Da Hu quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed. Madam Wen waved her hand. "No need for so much courtesy." Then she looked at Lu Sanzhu, paused for a moment, quickly redirected her gaze, and accurately locked onto the person who could make decisions. She spoke to Shu Yu, "I apologize, but my husband happens to be away today. I was also afraid that you would come here in vain, so I invited you in for tea. By the way, there are some things I can tell you in advance." "Thank you, Madam, for your hospitality. Please speak your mind," Shu Yu replied. Madam Wen took a sip of tea, placed her hands in front of her, and smiled. "You see, my husband indeed likes diligent and studious students, and he is willing to accept such students. However, there was a recent incident, which I believe you have heard about. Our Shuxian Academy has suspended classes for a few days." Shu Yu nodded, "Yes, we have heard about it." Madam Wen was surprised. "If that's the case, why are you still coming here to study? Aren't you afraid... that my husband's situation might affect you?" Shu Yu smiled, "Madam Wen, even if Master Wen is currently facing some trouble, to put it bluntly, even if he were to be questioned due to some slight connection with the former county magistrate, it wouldn't necessarily affect his students, right?" After all, there was still a layer of separation between the students and the teacher. This is just Jiangyuan County, and the one accused of the crime is just a county magistrate. This county magistrate is not close to Master Wen. If it were to involve Master Wen's students, then the snowball effect would spread, and half of Jiangyuan County would be in chaos. "Moreover, these students are all under ten years old, still in the early stages of learning." Madam Wen was stunned for a moment but couldn't help but laugh. She had been somewhat reserved before, but now she relaxed completely. She shook her head and smiled. "I didn't expect you to think so clearly." Why did the families of those students rush to take their children back as soon as they heard that their family was connected to the county magistrate? In the end, it's because of their limited perspective. When she looked at Dahui again, there was a touch of familiarity. "You're right, no matter what, it won't affect the young students who are just starting out. But have you ever considered that if my husband does encounter trouble, those students will have to find another school to continue their studies. At that time, it's not just about whether they can adapt, but other schools may not necessarily accept them." Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!

Chapter 266: Going to the School

The old lady was taken aback. "Didn't Tang Xuicai say last time that there wasn't a suitable school?" "There is," Shu Yu smiled. "I've checked out the third school that Tang Xuicai mentioned. The teacher there is really good. Although classes are temporarily suspended, they won't be stopped for long. Let's enroll first, and when the school reopens, we can go straight there." The old lady didn't understand any of this, but if Shu Yu said it was okay, then it must be okay. "Alright, then, you take Da Hu there first to have a look." Only then did Shu Yu pack up and prepare to leave. Lu Sanzhu had nothing else to do, and he liked to join in the fun, so he followed along eagerly. Shu Yu didn't stop him. With her father there as an elder, it was fine. The two of them quickly arrived at the shop. Da Hu was lying on the counter, learning to recognize characters with Lu Erbai. When Da Hu saw Shu Yu approaching, he hurried over and said, "Second sister, I learned a few more characters today. Can you take a look and see if I wrote them correctly?" As he spoke, he tried to pull Shu Yu over, but she didn't budge. "We don't need to worry about that right now. I came here to take you to see the teacher." Dahui widened his eyes in surprise and excitement. "Am I going to start studying?" "More or less. We'll talk about it after meeting the teacher." Da Hu nodded vigorously. "Then let me go change my clothes." Lu Erbai eyes also lit up. "Have you chosen a school?" Shu Yu murmured by the counter, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear. "Father, I inquired about it. The teacher at Shu Xian Academy does have some distant relationship with the former county magistrate, but the difference is quite significant. Moreover, the teacher and the former county magistrate were also enemies. It wouldn't be easy for the former county magistrate to get caught without the help of the teacher." After Shu Yu revealed the truth about her confrontation with Meng Yunzheng and Xiang Daren, she straightforwardly asked him about the situation with this school to see if there would be any trouble in enrolling in it. This was all information provided by Meng Yunzheng. Although Wen Fuzi had made contributions, in order to reduce unnecessary risks, Xiang Weinan didn't disclose the relationship between them to the public, and Wen Fuzi agreed to it. Meng Yunzheng also mentioned that this Wen Fuzi had a good character, and it wouldn't be harmful for Dahui to study with him. He clearly had met or knew about this Wen Fuzi. Shu Yu trusted his judgment and decisively chose Shu Xian Academy. She couldn't tell the old lady about these things, but she had to let Lu Erbo know so that he would be aware of the situation. "Father, these are official secrets. We just need to keep them in mind. Don't talk about them." "Father understands. Since Shu Xian Academy is a good place, just talk to Wen Fuzi. I'm just worried that Dahui hasn't studied much and might not be accepted by Wen Fuzi." "It's alright. Shu Xian Academy is originally meant for beginners. Even if Dahui doesn't recognize a single character, as long as Wen Fuzi thinks it's fine, then there won't be any problem." As they were talking, Da Hu came out from inside. The little guy not only changed into a clean and neat scholar's robe, but he also slung a bag over his shoulder. The bag was made by Daya, and both Da Hu and Sanya had one. The two children loved them very much. Now, inside Da Hu's bag, there were copybooks and a Three-Character Classic. He eagerly approached and held Shu Yu's hand. "Second sister, I'm ready. Can we go now?" Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!

Chapter 265: The Yuan Family Has Given Up

Liang Shi felt wronged, "He doesn't do anything at home, not even washing dishes. Mother, I'll be busy making doll clothes from now on, so I won't have time to do household chores. Can you talk to him and ask him to do something?" Grandma gave her a sidelong glance, "Laosan never listens to me. I can talk to him, but it's better if you talk to him yourself." Liang Shi looked at Shu Yu. Yes, Lu Sanzhu doesn't listen to anyone except for two people—one being the young Bao Ya, and the other being Shu Yu. Shu Yu cleared her throat lightly, "I'll go to the kitchen and see if he break any dishes." After speaking, she walked out, and Lu Sanzhu was in a very good mood. He whistled while washing the dishes. Shu Yu stood at the kitchen door and watched him. Apparently, he had done this dishwashing task many times before and looked quite proficient. He finished washing the three dishes quickly, and just as he turned around, he found Shu Yu standing behind him. He was startled once again and nervously chuckled, "Um, did I miss anything while cleaning? So you came to check?" However, Shu Yu glanced outside, made sure no one was paying attention, and then took a couple of steps into the kitchen. Lu Sanzhu was even more frightened by her actions. Was she going to come in and hit him when there was no one around? But Shu Yu lowered her voice and asked, "You've been searching for Fourth Uncle's whereabouts these past few days. Any news?" Lu Sanzhu was taken aback and sighed in relief. So that's what she wanted to know. He shook his head, knowing that Shu Yu didn't want the old lady to worry, so she spoke to him privately. "No news at all. I've searched through the nearby villages. Eldest Brother even went into the mountains with Da Niu to search, but we found nothing. The Yuan family has been searching for so many days, and they're almost giving up." After all, it had been a long time since Yuan Shanchuan went missing. If something had happened, it would have happened a long time ago. Even if they found him, it wouldn't make a difference. If he was safe and sound, he would eventually return. Currently, they only knew that Yuan Shānchuān didn't have a guide and hadn't left a radius of a hundred miles. But what did that matter? They had already searched everywhere they could, and they had done their best. Shu Yu fell silent. There was no news from the officials either. Where could a perfectly healthy man like him go? "What about Fourth Aunt? How is she doing?" Lu Sanzhu said, "I visited her once. She was crying a lot and looked very sad. But at least there's no news spreading that brother-in-law has passed away. Plus, she still has two children to take care of, so she can hold on. Don't worry." Shu Yu wasn't particularly worried. She had never met Fourth Aunt before, so there was no emotional attachment between them. But Grandma would be concerned, so Shu Yu couldn't help but ask a few more questions. Although Grandma hadn't mentioned the matter these past few days, the trace of worry between her brows couldn't be dispelled. Lu Sanzhu cautiously glanced at Shu Yu and asked, "Ah Yu, is there anything else?" Shu Yu shook her head, "No, you can go back to your tasks." Lu Sanzhu hurriedly ran out, and Shu Yu stood in the kitchen for a while before heading towards the main hall. In just a short while, Grandma had already finished making one with Liang Shi's help. Liang Shi did a good job, but Grandma was used to scolding her a bit, so she was full of energy. Shu Yu felt a little relieved and said to Grandma, "Grandma, I'll take Da Hu to the school to have a look this afternoon." Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!

Chapter 264: Wife, You'll Support the Family from Now On

Liang Shi nodded, and Lu Sanzhu couldn't wait to ask, "Mother, how is the wages calculated?" Grandma was truly exasperated with the two of them and replied without good temper, "You'll be paid based on how much you make. If a doll is sold for 100 coins, you'll receive 8 coins as wages." 8 coins as wages?? Liang Shi immediately did the calculations in her head. These dolls were actually quite easy to make. She could make four or five of them from morning till night. If it weren't for the fact that the fabric scraps used for the doll clothes were leftovers from making clothes and were somewhat fragmented, she could make even more. But four or five was still good. That would amount to about 30 or 40 coins per day, right? "Oh my, 30 or 40 coins? That's a lot!" Lu Sanzhu quickly calculated even faster and jumped up, "This is much more profitable than working as casual laborers. You can do it, wife. Make more, and you'll be supporting the family from now on." Shu Yu, Grandma, Da Hu: "..." You're truly a clever one. Your reaction speed is astonishing, and your abacus is clattering away. Liang shi hadn't fully processed the information yet and was feeling a bit dizzy from the impact of earning 30 or 40 coins. Yes, it was more than what the men in the village earned from doing casual labor. This was truly a unique opportunity. However, Grandma quickly shattered her illusions. "What are you daydreaming about? 30 or 40 coins per day? Did you not hear me clearly? I said that if a doll sells for 100 coins, you'll get 8 coins. Not all dolls sell for 100 coins; some smaller or cheaper ones may only sell for 30 or 40 coins." Without hesitation, Liang shi said, "Then I'll make the ones that sell for 100 coins. I won't make the ones that sell for 30 or 40 coins." "Ha, you're dreaming." Grandma nearly spat in frustration. "Do you think you can decide that?" "I..." Grandma grew impatient. "I determine how many and what size dolls you make. Just follow the requirements and make the clothes. Don't think about anything else. If you like it, do it. If not, forget it." Liang shi shrunk her neck and exchanged a glance with Lu Sanzhu, mumbling under her breath, "I didn't say I won't do it. I'm very willing." "Alright, you can start working in the afternoon. But let me tell you, if you do poorly and don't pass, you'll have to start over." "Don't worry, Mother, I'll make them beautiful and exquisite." Although Grandma had poured cold water on them, their hearts were still set on earning that much money in a day, so they were delighted. Liang shi immediately and skillfully started helping Grandma with the work, while Lu Sanzhu had nothing to do and watched from the side. As he watched, he suddenly felt a scorching gaze on his back. He turned around abruptly and met Shu Yu's smiling eyes. Lu Sanzhu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stood up from his chair. What's wrong? What did he do wrong? Why was Ah Yu looking at him like that? It was so scary. As Shū Yǔ saw that he finally noticed her, she immediately gave him a signal with her eyes, asking him to come out. Lu Sanzhu suddenly had a moment of enlightenment and instantly remembered, "Ah, right, I'll go wash the dishes." He claimed that he hadn't done anything wrong and realized that he hadn't washed the bowls after finishing their meal. They had heard Grandma coming back, so the two of them hurriedly ran out after taking the last sip of the soup, leaving the bowls and chopsticks scattered in the kitchen. Grandma and the others looked at Lu Sanzhu in astonishment. The latter had already trotted away. Grandma asked Liang shi, "Laosan, can he even wash dishes?"

Chapter 263: What About the Wages

Chapter 263: What About the Wages...

Shu Yu got up and walked out of the door. As she reached the entrance of the kitchen, she saw the courtyard gate being pushed open. Grandmother and Da Ya returned carrying food boxes, both looking very happy as if they had encountered some good news. When Da Ya saw Shu Yu, she hurriedly took a few steps forward and excitedly said, "Ah Yu, we have another business opportunity. Earlier, when grandmother and I were delivering food, we happened to meet several people who wanted to buy those dolls. But since we didn't have any left, they agreed to come back tomorrow. Grandmother and I discussed it and decided to work a bit harder today and finish those dolls first." Fortunately, she had taken a portion of the fabric scraps to wash early in the morning. With the scorching sun, they would probably be dry by evening. While speaking, Da Ya had already gone to check the half-dried fabric scraps on the stretcher. She turned her head to Shu Yǔ6 and said, "Ah Yu tell us a few more beautiful patterns... " Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Lu Sanzhu and Liang Shi coming out of the kitchen. Dà Yā was taken aback. "Third Uncle, Third aunt, when did you arrive?" "We came early in the morning." Lu Sanzhu hurriedly ran to Grandma's side, wearing a flattering smile on his face. "Mother, you're back? Are you tired? Come, let me pour you a glass of water. Sit inside the house first." Grandma looked at him in astonishment. What was wrong with her third son today? She looked at Shu Yu with suspicion, and Shu Yu shrugged. Liang shi had also rushed over, reaching out to give Grandma a back rub. However, she couldn't hold back her curious nature and started asking, "Mother, I heard from Ah Yu that there's an easy job with wages for us here, right? I don't know what kind of work it is, but rest assured, I will definitely do it well." Grandma suddenly realized. It seemed that she was right, being too attentive for no reason was either scheming or thieving. But these two arrived at the perfect time. They were currently in a rush to finish their work, so it was convenient to have some extra hands. So Grandma didn't make things difficult for her and simply nodded, "Indeed, there is a job for you. But let me make it clear from the beginning. If you don't do well, I'll find your sister-in-law to do it. This kind of work is surely in high demand." Liang Shi immediately sat up straight and nodded obediently. "Understood, understood. I will definitely do it well. What about the wages?" Grandma's eyelid twitched. This troublesome person was so fixated on the money? She turned her head and said to Da Ya, "Bring the doll you made this morning. That's right, since our third daughter-in-law is here, let's make use of the time and start working." Liang shi blinked, and Da Ya brought over the sewn doll's clothing. Liang Shi looked left and right and found it quite nice. "Mother, are we making these dolls?" "Yes, come closer, and I'll explain the detailed process to you." Grandma adopted a somewhat imposing manner. Not only did Liang Shi come over, but even Lu Sanzhu curiously moved closer, ears perked up. Actually, making dolls was not difficult. It involved sewing and patching, something that most people could do except for someone like Shu Yu who lacked talent. The only challenging part was how to make the dolls cute and endearing. Liang Shi was actually quite intelligent. After watching for a few moments, she easily grasped the technique. Grandma immediately had her try sewing and patching. After a while, she nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. You can stay here this afternoon and continue working." Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!

Chapter 262: Crazy Stepping on Lu Sanzhu

Liang Shi was caught off guard and looked up in surprise. Under the table, Liang Shi's was ruthlessly stepping on Lu Sanzhu's instep, causing his face to twist in a grimace, almost letting out a scream. Liang Shi shucked awkwardly and said, "Um, Ah Yu, you know that Third Aunt doesn't have any skills and can't help you with anything. Your uncle is just being polite. I have two children to take care of at home. Especially Bao Ya, she's so young and can't do without me." Beside her, Lu Sanzhu could only nod vigorously, the pain from being stepped on was unbearable. Liang Shi, taking the opportunity to play a trick on Liang, "Why don't you ask your eldest aunt? She has nothing to do all day long. The children have all grown up, even Er Niu can help with the household chores. Besides cooking and laundry, she just lounges around with her legs up, always idle." Shu Yu glanced at the scorching sun outside. With this kind of weather, could anyone still sunbathe? She put down her chopsticks, sighed with great regret, and said, "That's such a pity. I actually recommended Third Aunt grandmother, even though the pay for this job isn't much, it's still easier compared to selling dried goods. Since Uncle and Auntie feel that it's too much work, I'll find eldest Aunt instead. Since she has so much free time, she might even earn more. Maybe she'll earn enough dowry for Lan Hua in just a few months." Liang widened her eyes, "What? Did you say what I think you said? There's pay?" It's not working for free? She started stepping on Lu Sanzhu furiously again. This time, Lu Sanzhu couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up abruptly and slammed the table, "My feet are swollen. If you step on me again, carry me back." After venting his anger, he sat back down and grinned at Shu Yu, "Ah Yu, what did you mean just now? Helping you out means earning money, right?" He needed to clarify this. It was the most crucial point. Liang Shi no longer dared to step on him and looked at Shu Yu with the same eagerness. Shu Yu smiled and said, "Yes, it's sewing and mending work, but not making clothes. When it's done, you'll be paid per piece." Not making clothes? Liang Shi asked in astonishment, "Did your ready-made clothing store change its business? I said that the ready-made clothing store wouldn't do well. Look, it's going bankrupt, right? But if you're not making clothes, what are you doing?" Shu Yu... suddenly regretted approaching her. She sighed softly and said, "The ready-made clothing store is doing very well. We've already sold all the clothes we made before. Right now, my mother and Aunt Xiang are working hard to finish the custom orders. You don't need to worry about going bankrupt." "What? They've all been sold?" Lu Sanzhu blinked, unable to believe it. "What? Ah Xiang is working here?" Liang always had a way of grasping the key points. When did all this happen? Why didn't she know about it? And what about Ah Xiang working here? How much is she getting paid? No, she had to go and see. Shu Yu knew exactly what Liang Shi was thinking, but she couldn't be bothered to explain. She simply said, "If Third aunt doesn't mind, I'll find eldest aunt another day. I..." "No, I'm willing. I'm very willing," Liang shi quickly expressed her attitude, without even asking what she would be doing. Shu Yu nodded, "Okay, I'll let my grandmother know and see how to arrange it." She glanced at the table, "You two go ahead and eat. After you're done, remember to wash the bowls and clean up the stove." "Okay." The two of them happily agreed.

Chapter 261: Let's Get Busy

Liang Shi sat on the side, picked up the folding fan on the table, and fanned herself twice before speaking, "Isn't it market day today? We came to join the market and also sell some dried goods we previously dried. After selling them, we came to visit mother and all of you." Join the market? Shu Yu knew that Lu Sanzhu and his wife weren't fond of working in the fields, but Lu Sanzhu liked to wander around, occasionally going up the mountain. It wasn't for hunting though, as he couldn't hunt. But he would go and find the traps set by hunters. If he was lucky, he would come across trapped prey. He would simply take the trapped prey for himself, either selling it or eating it. Well, it was quite unethical. And to conceal his unethical behavior, he would intentionally pick up some mountain goods and put them in his backpack to cover up while he walked down the mountain. After all, he was afraid of encountering hunters and getting beaten up. With repeated instances, he ended up accumulating a lot of mountain goods, which Liang Shi collect and bring to sell on market days. However, these were all common items, and they couldn't fetch a high price. It was just to make some copper coins. Shu Yu understood this and didn't ask further. Instead, she got up and went to the kitchen. Seeing her heading to the kitchen, Lu Sanzhu and Liang Shi hurriedly followed. The two of them were quite self-aware and immediately started looking for food upon entering the kitchen. However, after searching around, they found nothing. Lu Sanzhu looked pitifully at Shu Yu and said, "Ah Yu, we've been busy for quite a while, and we're tired. Besides, we're hungry." "Don't you have some cakes with you?" Lu Sanzhu choked, "They taste terrible. The child's mother can't cook." Liang Shi, "...he's resorting to personal attacks now?" Shu Yu glanced back at them and thought, "Let's fight, let's fight." Unfortunately, the two didn't fulfill her wish. Shu Yu felt a bit disappointed, but when she saw the already prepared noodles in the kitchen, she grabbed two handfuls and said, "It's already late. Let's cook some noodles to eat. Help me with the fire." She estimated that at this time, the old lady and the eldest sister should be at the clothing store, delivering meals. They were nearby, and usually, the meals were prepared at home and sent over for the entire family to eat together. Before leaving, Shu Yu had informed the old lady that she wasn't sure when she would return, so there was no need to save her a meal. That's why the stove was empty at the moment. Lu Sanzhu immediately went outside and brought in a pile of firewood, while Liang Shi cleaned the pots and started the fire. Shu Yu cooked the noodles herself, as Liang Shi's culinary skills... were not great, and she didn't want to compromise the taste. Lu Sanzhu and Liang Shi happily ate the noodles, but when they saw Shu Yu adding meat and eggs and scooping a large spoonful of lard, Lu Sanzhu couldn't help but twitch his eyelids. He didn't mind it before, but now... While eating the noodles, Lu Sanzhu tactfully asked, "Ah Yu, are there still many clothes in the store? What I mean is, if you're overwhelmed, let the child's mother help. Don't worry, she won't ask for a wage." Liang Shi's foot, hidden under the table, stomped down hard. Lu Sanzhu stared back at her, conveying with his eyes: I'm inquiring about the clothing store's business, do you understand? If it's not doing well, Ah Yu is treating us so well for no reason, and this meal is no different from the last meal before execution. It's a sign of something big about to happen. Liang Shi's appetite was instantly affected, but even with such delicious noodles, she still ate them quickly. The only one who remained unfazed was Shu Yu. She ate quickly and finished a mouthful of soup before answering Lu Sanzhu's question, "Oh, there aren't many clothes left in the store. Speaking of which, we do need Third Auntie to help with some work."
