Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Return to Righteous Dao Village Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Return to Righteous Dao Village Shu Yu was overjoyed and quickly caught up.

She only had two days off, so shortly after finishing lunch at home, she went to the market to buy some food and to the shops to buy some essential daily supplies. Seeing that it was getting late, she also prepared to return to Righteous Dao Village.

Madam Ruan and Daya had closed their stall early that day and had escorted them all the way to the city gate.

“Dad, Mom, big sister, I will come to the county town often in the future, you all go back now, we’ll see each other again in a few days.”

Shu Yu waved her hand and hurried the mule carriage along, bringing the old lady and the two little ones back towards Righteous Dao Village.

When they arrived at Righteous Dao Village, it was still light outside, but a Hunting Team had indeed returned.

That team, which had flatly rejected Shu Yu initially, now gave her complex looks upon seeing her again.

Shu Yu’s mule carriage passed by them and soon stopped at her doorstep.

The old lady, who couldn’t wait, opened the courtyard gate to check on the chickens she was raising.

Just yesterday morning before leaving, she had fed them once, and then had handed the keys to the courtyard to Fang Xiyue, who was resting for these two days, asking her to come over this morning to check on them and help feed them once more.

The old lady wasn’t worried about the chickens starving; she was just afraid that with no one at home, someone might steal them.

These were specifically the hens she had bought for Yu to lay eggs. They could not be missing.

Because of this, she almost brought them with her to the county town yesterday.

Still, Shu Yu persuaded her that, at this critical juncture, no one would dare to commit theft. For one, this place was Righteous Dao Village, a place of exile, where punishments for such criminal conduct were severe.

Secondly, the governor had just visited; if theft occurred now, wouldn’t it be a slap in his face?

Now that the old lady had returned, she quickly counted them, and fortunately, none were missing.

Shu Yu found it both sad and amusing. She told Sanya and Dahu to get down first and drove the mule carriage into the courtyard before unloading everything from the cart.

There were quite a few items, and the family busied themselves quickly, adding quite a few belongings to the house.

Dinner was simple, consisting of the dumplings they had packed in the county town at noon. Simply boiled, they were ready soon.

After being busy for a while, the day also slowly turned to night.

Shu Yu listened to the noises outside, which seemed to be from people who had been working outside coming back.

However, it seemed like someone stopped at their doorstep for a while, staying there for quite some time.

The old lady suddenly became nervous and asked softly, “Yu, do you think it’s those people checking if we were out yesterday and came back today to confirm if anyone was around, planning to make a move if no one was?”

Shu Yu shook her head and decisively went to open the courtyard gate.

However, the person outside had already left, and Shu Yu only caught a glimpse of a disappearing corner of a garment.

But looking at that silhouette… it seemed like the first Madam Shu?

It was indeed the Shu family, not just the first Madam; other members of the Shu family also purposely took a detour to walk this way, except the first Madam was at the very end. They wanted to see if the Lu family people had come back.

There were voices speaking and children’s laughter inside, clearly indicating they had returned.

The Shu family breathed a sigh of relief, for they had thought that since the Lu family left, they wouldn’t return. Fortunately, it was indeed just a two-day rest and they weren’t absolved of their crimes, which meant they hadn’t left forever.

Since Lu Shuyu had returned, presumably Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady were back as well.

This time, they couldn’t be as impulsive as last time.
