Chapter 910: Shu Yu Buys Servants
Shu Yu took just a quick glance before quickly retracting her head.
She wasn't good at dealing with such situations, and she had something to do soon. If she got stuck here, she wouldn't be able to leave.
Fortunately, the old lady was familiar with them. After inviting the people inside, ...
Chapter 909: Zhao Xi's Medicine
Da Ya and Shu Yu shared a room, and Shu Yu was present during the incident in the kitchen in the evening.
Da Ya thought that when they were alone together at night, she would ask Shu Yu about it.
However, to her surprise, Shu Yu tidied up and prepared to sleep without saying a word.
Chapter 908: Liang Shi: No House, No Confidence
Liang Shi lifted the covers and got out of bed. She first pulled out a clay jar from under the bed and rummaged inside, taking out a small cloth bag.
Then she hurried to the wardrobe, pushing the clothes aside and taking out a small box.
Next, she walked to the bottom of the...
Chapter 907: The Wealth of the Third Branch
Liang Shi silently calculated in her mind and whispered, "Excluding the scattered copper coins, our family has approximately forty-six taels of silver."
"How much?!" Lu Sanzhu suddenly sat up, his face full of shock. "Forty-six..."
"Keep your voice down! Do you want to get us ro...
Chapter 906: Liang Shi Wants to Buy a House
Da Niu and Lu Sanzhu were taken aback. "Shu Yu?"
Shu Yu handed the money pouch to them. "I know you've been inquiring about information, and it costs money. I can't just make you work for nothing and have you cover the expenses yourself. Take it first, and if..."
Before she coul...
Chapter 905: Ask Fourth Uncle
Lu Erbai even considered partnering with Master Zheng to form a team.
But it was still too early to discuss this. Lu Erbai took a sip of water and said to Shu Yu, "After we finalize the drawings tomorrow, we'll start looking around."
"How about asking Fourth Uncle?" Shu Yu suggested.
...
Chapter 904: Just Kill Him
Da Ya's heart raced, and she bypassed Meng Yunzheng and ran into the kitchen.
Meng Yunzheng raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhao Xi, who followed behind, with a somewhat complicated expression.
Was he rejected? Otherwise, why would he look so dejected?
During the lull while the Lu family...
Chapter 902: Didn't See It Coming
Shu Yu couldn't help but chuckle as she listened from the side. She could see that Da Ya might not actually be indifferent to Zhao Xi.
If that's the case, why not let them have a good talk?
With that thought, Shu Yu reached out and pulled Ruan Shi and Zhou Qiao, who were also in the kitch...
Chapter 903: Breaking the Ice
Zhao Xi silently glanced around the drafty woodshed with only a roof overhead and cursed inwardly.
Fine, she had pushed them out, but at least she should have found a quieter, slightly better environment that was more private. Who confesses their feelings to a girl in a woodshed???
He had bar...
Chapter 901: Miss Wei's Betrothal
Shu Yu returned home a bit late, and everyone else had already arrived, including Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi.
From their conversation, it seemed that everyone already knew about San Ya's intention to learn medicine from Zhao Xi, and at the moment, San Ya was surrounded and had become the center of...
Chapter 900: A Large Sum of Money
"Not an exaggeration, not an exaggeration. Since you've become the Village Lord, I'm honored to be associated with you. After all, we're still collaborating to sell scar-removing ointment, right?"
Speaking of scar-removing ointment, Shu Yu couldn't help but ask a few questions. "How is the ointme...
Chapter 899: Da Ya's Friend
Da Ya didn't have many friends before. Although she had good relations with a few girls from the same village before she got married, her family had a lot of household chores to attend to, so she could only interact with them during festive occasions.
Over time, their relationships naturally grew dista...

Shu Yu had also brought a gift for Doctor Xu, originally intending to give it to him the next day.
She got off the carriage at the entrance of Liufang Lane and sent the Ding family's coachman back. Then she leisurely walked towards home.
However, as she turned around and took a few s...
Chapter 897: Farewell to Ding Yuehua
Shu Yu carried the gift box and walked towards the Fan Family. There weren't many pedestrians on this road, and since she would be living here in the future, she strolled leisurely, taking in the surroundings.
When she arrived at the entrance of the Fan Family, Shu Yu looked up and assessed th...
Chapter 896: Everyone's Arrangements
"Yuehua?" Shu Yu took the invitation and asked, "She went to Ningshui Street too?"
"Yes, she probably saw the announcement and knew you were back, so she came to the shop to find you. But the shop was too crowded, and I didn't know which house you rented, so I couldn't tell her. She saw that w...
Chapter 895: Miss Ding's Invitation
As Shu Yu walked out from behind him and took a look, she couldn't help but reveal a delighted expression.
The backyard was even bigger than she had imagined. No wonder the former county magistrate had been eager to acquire it.
San Ya pointed not far ahead and shouted, "Second sister, l...
Chapter 894: I Intend to Buy Servants
Quan Quan was still young, but seeing his older siblings running off, he tiptoed and tried to follow, tugging at Lu Sixing hand. His whole body leaned forward, "Mother, mother, quickly..."
Lu Sixing helplessly picked him up. Yuan Shanchuan hadn't come today.
Lu Sanzhu could take a few...
Chapter 893: Going to See the Big House
With all the clothes in the clothing shop sold out, Da Niu had no choice but to close the shop early. Before the customers could react, he and his wife quietly slipped out through the back door.
Once they were outside Ningshui Street, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just ye...
Chapter 892: You're Confused
"You're confused!" The middle-aged man suddenly stood up, pointed at him, and exclaimed, "Do you know what you're doing? Do you know who she is? And yet, you terminated the contract with her, and worse, you terminated it on the grounds that we violated the terms."
Manager Qiu was startled, not underst...
Chapter 891: Shu Yu's Publicized Identity
Early the next morning, just as the sky began to brighten, the gates of the county yamen opened, and two solemn-looking officials emerged.
One of them was Hu Li. The two officials went to the bulletin board not far from the city gate and posted a notice.
After posting it, they lef...
Chapter 890: Liang Shi's Sense of Righteousness
Everyone was puzzled, and even the old lady frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Mother, today we went to eldest brother's house and brought a lot of rice and food. We planned to have a meal at noon, but there was still a lot left. Sister-in-law wanted to hog it all to herself,...
Chapter 889: Qiu's Uneasiness
Fortunately, they had appeared now, and the clerk breathed a sigh of relief.
shopkeeper Qiu instructed him to attend to the front while he went to the backyard to talk to Shu Yu.
Seeing that Shu Yu was composed and didn't try to escape, shopkeeper Qiu wanted to inquire about what had happened...
Chapter 888: Thought She Escaped
Shu Yu turned around and instructed the old lady, "Grandmother, you go back first. I'll handle things here and be back soon."
The old lady was somewhat worried. "Are you okay on your own?"
Da Niu got off the other cart and said, "I'll accompany Shu Yu."
"Alright, we'll wait for you...
Chapter 887: You Finally Showed Up
"Tomorrow?" Lu Sanzhu rubbed his chin and waved his hand with great arrogance. "Forget it, then I'll ask for another day off tomorrow."
Everyone: "...For the sake of seeing a house, you're not even doing any work? Is that necessary?"
"Uncle," Da Ya also leaned over to the window and look...
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 r...
Chapter 885: Preparing to Repair the Ancestral Graves
"As for the Ge family, they seemed pretty good before, but now it seems they're the type of people who can only share wealth but not hardship. There's a saying, 'When a couple faces great difficulties, they each fly away.'"
As she spoke, she kept glancing at Li Shi, emphasizin...
Chapter 884: Lu Erbai Knows High-ranking Officials in the Capital
Along the way, they encountered many villagers who raised their hands to greet them, but perhaps the effect of Fan Zhongzheng's previous words had taken effect, and no one dared to approach them and start a conversation.
As a result, the Lu family felt more at ease...
Chapter 883: Lu Sanzhu Retreats to Advance
Shu Yu smiled and said, "My father wants to open his own carpentry shop, but we'll take it slowly. We have to renovate the mansion given by the emperor before we can prepare for it."
They had a skilled and experienced carpenter in the family, so the renovation of the mansion could only b...
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 glan...
Chapter 881: Tang Wenqian's Distrust of his Mother
Tang Wenqian's Mother watched the figure disappear, pursed her lips, rubbed her sore shoulder, and looked in the direction of the Lu family.
So that girl became the village Lord? Impressive.
However, she only found out about this today. Clearly, Wenqian was working at the...
