Chapter 940: Finding a Suitable Estate
Shu Yu saw that her father had everything well organized, so she didn't approach him and instead went to see Zheng Gong and the blueprints.
They had made some modifications to the blueprints yesterday, so she wanted to understand what had been changed.
Upon closer inspection, she noticed that the modification was made to the positio...
Chapter 939: Large Dormitory
The Lai family had many siblings, so they had opened a food shop in town and were busy with it.
During busy farming seasons, Lai Jin Hai would usually go to Shishi Village to help his father-in-law, Lu Dasong, with some work. But now it seemed that he was driven here by Cui Hua to help with the house construction.
Cui Hua, as the eldest cousi...
Chapter 938: Excited Three
"Lu Shu You?" Shu Yu looked at Da Ya.
Zhao Xi immediately explained, "I think, for Da Ya, nothing else matters as much as being relaxed and carefree, free from the burdens of life. To live comfortably is the most important thing, right? 'You Ran Zi De' (leisurely and carefree) sounds suitable, doesn't it?"
Yes, Da Ya had suffered too much in th...
Chapter 937: Lu Shu Ning
Everyone couldn't help but look at Meng Yunzheng, who then glanced at Shu Yu.
Shu Yu turned her head away, avoiding eye contact. She wasn't good at coming up with names.
Meng Yunzheng could only clear his throat and say, "So, as long as each person thinks of a character, it will work. For example, if Ah Yu's name is Lu Shu Yu, then San Ya..."
Chapter 936: Changing Names
"Hehe, you also know how to achieve two goals at once. You're truly clever," Shu Yu remarked, amused by San Ya's reasoning.
The others wore expressions of speechlessness.
After San Ya finished speaking, and everyone remained silent for a prolonged period, she realized something was amiss.
She quickly retracted her raised head and blink...
Chapter 935: I Want to Be Called Lu Congming
After Shu Yu finished listening, she couldn't help but feel sad. When she returned home in the evening, during dinner with her family, she mentioned this matter to Lu Erbai, who immediately furrowed his brows.
"I haven't heard about this," he said. After returning from the southwest, he only visited Shishi Village once and was busy wi...
Chapter 934: Unfortunate Liang Family
Although the workload decreased, there was still work to be done.
Sometimes when carpenters couldn't find helpers, they would ask him to lend a hand. So Liang Wangsheng's days were still going well.
He got along well with Lu Erbai and would occasionally come to help out. Although the two families didn't socialize as much as they used...
Chapter 933: Lu Erbai's Friend
Shu Yu was momentarily stunned. Who was this person? She turned to her eldest uncle, who had seen them off from the village.
Lu Dasong whispered, "He is also an uncle in the village. You can call him Uncle Liang."
Shu Yu went along with it and nodded slightly, "Uncle Liang, do you have something to discuss with me?"
Liang Wangsheng ...
Chapter 932: Someone Blocks the Way
Shu Yu looked at the person. He seemed to have introduced himself as He Ping earlier, a brother with a good relationship with her father.
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Uncle He, you're exaggerating. We're not at a loss. Although we provide room and board, you don't have to go back early, so the working hours will definitely be extended. Moreover, t...
Chapter 931: Thirteen Strong Laborers
Shu Yu didn't need a cook, which disappointed Li Shi greatly, but now she was eager to please Shu Yu and didn't dare to bother her too much.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the village chief's son had already brought all the people on the list.
The courtyard gate opened, and a group of people came bustling in.
S...
Chapter 930: Li Shi's Older Brother
Li Shi had two older brothers, each with two sons, and they were both older than Da Niu.
With Li Shi's father included, there were a total of seven men in their family. And with their young and strong wives, it would be easy to manage a dozen acres of land.
They could definitely spare a couple of laborers.
Shu Yu had no objecti...
Chapter 929: Why Haven't You Left Yet?
Ying Xi had beaten him enough, so she squatted down in front of him and said, "Our young miss said that if you dare to bother her again, she will beat you every time she sees you. If one time is not enough, she will do it twice. If twice is not enough, she will do it three times. She will keep beating you until you're scared."
Geng Qi Fei l...
Chapter 928: Geng Qi Fei's Wishful Thinking
Fan Zhongzheng quickly said, "You can rest assured about this matter, village lord Lu. If he dares to come again, I'll w¹take the villagers and expose his true face. They really think they can bully the girls from our Shishi Village. Who gave him the audacity to show up after breaking his promise?!"
Shu Yu looked at Fan Zhongzheng in ...
Chapter 927: I'll Help You Find People
Shu Yu turned her head to face the crowd and smiled. "Ideally, it would be best to find enough people from the village. However, my father said that it's currently the busy farming season, and he has to consider everyone. We can't let the uncles and older brothers neglect their work in the fields to help us."
The crowd suddenly snapped out ...
Chapter 926: Disappeared from My Sight
The onlookers quickly made way, not daring to say a word.
Geng Qi Fei's face flushed with embarrassment. "Village Lord Lu, what are you doing?"
Shu Yu stood on the steps, looking down at him. "Don't you recognize me? Just now, you pretended to be clueless. You said the decision to break off the engagement was made by your parents, a...
Chapter 925: Geng Family's Visit
Shu Yu got off the cart, and some villagers quickly turned and ran to find the village chief. Others wanted to approach Shu Yu for a conversation, but Ying Xi, acting as her personal maid and guard, dutifully blocked their way.
One person hesitated, awkwardly laughed twice, and backed off.
Unaware of this, Shu Yu took a few steps forward....
Chapter 924: Nervous Granny
After Shu Yu's explanation, the old lady indeed felt much better. She observed Hua Xian, and the young girl seemed well-behaved and easy to get along with.
"Well, that's fine then."
She had to maintain her composure and not appear inexperienced and timid, embarrassing Shu Yu.
Shu Yu smiled. "Grandmother, although Hua Xian is skilled in...
Chapter 923: I'll Go to Shishi Village for Recruitment
The old lady no longer opposed it. Her son was living a good life, owning property in the county, so as a mother, she was naturally happy.
After relaying the message, Lu Erbai was about to leave, but San Ya grabbed his arm. "Dad, we're going to change our names."
Lu Erbai was confused. "Change names? What names?"
Chapter 922: I'll Lend Him Money
Lu Erbai almost wanted to turn around and leave.
Lu Sanzhu probably knew that his second brother didn't have much wealth and wouldn't be able to lend him any. But he didn't dare to approach Shu Yu directly, so he came to him instead.
But Lu Erbai actually thought that it was feasible for Lu Sanzhu to buy a house. With his temperament, he ...
Chapter 921: Changing Names
Shu Yu swallowed her saliva; she felt that Meng Yunzheng was probably seeking revenge on Zhao Xi.
Seeing that Zhao Xi was about to settle the score, she quickly pulled him back and said, "Well, usually that saying is correct, but my sister's situation is different, right? We can't generalize."
"Really?" Zhao Xi turned his head, his expression ...
Chapter 920: Zhao Xi's Wealth
Who would have thought that while Shu Yu was having dinner, she had this thought in her mind. But when she went to sleep at night, Da Ya handed her a wooden box.
As she opened the box, she saw several large-denomination banknotes and some silver coins shining inside.
Shu Yu was certain that Da Ya didn't have this much money on her. She looke...
Chapter 919: Purchasing the Yiren Pavilion
Shu Yu's actions came to a halt. The matter concerning the shop?
"Master Yu, are you not planning to rent out that shop anymore?" she asked.
Master Yu quickly waved his hand. "No, no, I wanted to give that shop to County Magistrate Lu as a way to apologize for the trouble caused to the Lu family due to my mismanagement of the st...
Chapter 918: The Other Pair of Dragon and Phoenix Twins
Since Master Yu knew about the Ruan family and the Lu family's pair of dragon and phoenix twins, he must have learned about the existence of the other pair of twins from Madame Yu and the others. It was likely that he would send the children back.
So... he didn't send them back? He even adopted them as his own son and daugh...
Chapter 917: Master Yu Has Arrived
Shu Yu stood at the entrance of her own courtyard, stroking her chin, and the figure inside turned around upon hearing the movement.
Their eyes met, and Shu Yu was taken aback. "Master Yu?"
Why was he in her house?
"Do you recognize me?" Master Yu was also somewhat surprised but quickly realized, "Right, you should recognize me....
Chapter 916: A Figure Resembling a Scapegoat
Shu Yu swept her gaze around and spoke with a slightly serious tone, "I suppose you all know my identity and have probably heard about my exile. I don't know what you think or care about it, but I hope you remember one thing: stay in your place."
"You should understand that it's not a stroke of luck for a young girl like me to return ...
Chapter 915: A Few Words to Share with You
Ying Dong sat on the front of the carriage, while Ying Xi, feeling a bit constrained, sat quietly inside, maintaining an attitude of listening more and speaking less.
Shu Yu quickly went to the shop and ordered a lot of things to be delivered directly to their home.
Now that the weather had become very warm, there was no need fo...
Chapter 914: Nineteen Servants
"Has she caused you trouble?" Shu Yu frowned and asked.
Ding Yuehua replied, "She's okay when she's in front of me, at most just making snide remarks. She doesn't dare to truly confront me. What disgusts me is that she specifically instigates behind my back and even goes to my husband to badmouth me. My mother-in-law used to dislike me running arou...
Chapter 913: Hua Xian
Although Hua Xian was still unaware of Shu Yu's identity, she could tell that the girl was kind-hearted.
At the very least, she was much better than the Qin Lou Chu Guan.
Moreover, Hua Xian had overheard the servants house chatting yesterday, mentioning that there was a rough-tempered old master who wanted to buy two maidservants to serve him, and t...
Chapter 912: The Girl with a Skill
Shu Yu found it strange and whispered to Ding Yue Hua, "Do you know that girl?"
Ding Yuehua gestured to the servants house's staff who was about to introduce her and then pulled Shu Yu to a corner, speaking softly, "That girl was recently sold by the Fan family."
Shu Yu glanced at the girl and asked, "Did she do something wrong?"
Chapter 911: The Martial Arts Girl
How many servants? There was no specific number; it mainly depended on suitability.
But before Shu Yu could answer, Ding Yuehua already started calculating.
"Your family currently has two mule carts, so it would be appropriate to buy a carriage for your own use. As for the coachmen, I think three would be necessary. The village lord's s...
