Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1355: Chapter 1355: Shu Yu Sends Out Two Letters

The combined horse and mule carriages of the Shu Yu’s family amounted to three, and adding the Meng family’s and Zhao Xi’s, the five carriages nearly surrounded the entire Lu family.

Today, the families of Daniu, Cuihua, and others like Lanhua and Erniu did not return to the county town.

Thus, the carriage was spacious, and when it was time to depart, Shu Yu noticed the three Zhou sisters squeezed into their narrow mule carriage with difficulty, so she invited them to join her in her carriage.

The three young girls were overjoyed. Although they were slightly reserved, Shu Yu’s carriage was exceedingly comfortable to sit in.

The Zhou family’s He’er Village was located right between the county town and Shangshi Village; Shu Yu initially planned to drop them home and then leave.

However, Father Zhou felt that since it was rare for their in-laws to visit, they must at least have a cup of tea before departing, otherwise, it would seem improper.

So Shu Yu’s carriage stopped briefly in He’er Village, while the others went back first. Only she, the old lady, and Ying Xi, who acted as the coachman, remained in the carriage.

This was Shu Yu’s first visit to the Zhou family. According to Daniu, the Zhou family used to do quite well, although having no sons meant that at the time of family separation, they didn’t receive any good property.

Yet the Zhou family remained united, and their days improved gradually.

However, a few years ago, Mother Zhou fell ill and passed away, depleting most of their savings, which resulted in hardship once more.

Fortunately, they recovered over the years, yet the house remained the old one, appearing not very large and somewhat dilapidated.

Shu Yu accepted a cup of tea handed to her by Second Sister Zhou and thanked her.

Second Sister Zhou immediately waved her hand, looking terribly embarrassed and blushing, she hurried to the kitchen.

Shu Yu thought, “…” She was only a year older than Second Sister Zhou, yet the latter treated her as if facing a senior.

Suddenly, she felt somewhat aged.

Shu Yu didn’t linger long at the Zhou family; she merely sipped some tea ceremoniously before intending to leave.

This time, Father Zhou did not insist and watched them depart.

As soon as Shu Yu left, the neighbors who had been peeping came over to inquire.

Father Zhou, not being good with words, went to his room claiming to be dizzy from drinking too much.

Thus, everyone turned to Second Zhou’s couple. Though the couple envied and were occasionally jealous of Father Zhou’s family, often wishing Zhou Qiao badly and sometimes making sarcastic and cursed remarks.

However, when facing outsiders, Second Aunt Zhou still spoke with a beaming smile, “Oh, the Lu family, although not holding a grand ceremony, served the finest food and wine. Otherwise, my husband and Eldest Uncle wouldn’t have drunk so much, simply being too ecstatic. Seeing Qiaoqiao doing so well, we are relieved… I’m not exaggerating, didn’t you just see? That is Monarch Lu Xiang. If they didn’t value our Qiaoqiao, why would she personally send us back?”

Second Aunt Zhou indeed knew to cling to Shu Yu, the Village Chief, as it would reflect well on their side if people realized the Lu family cared for Zhou Qiao.

Indeed, upon hearing this from Second Aunt Zhou, everyone showed envious expressions.

Meanwhile, Shu Yu had already returned to the county town with the old lady.

Once home, she eagerly wrote a letter to Qi Lie.

She detailed her suspicions and matters concerning the beads, sending it through the channel given by Qi Lie.

Besides Qi Lie, she also wrote a letter to Meng Yunzheng.

Although he was about to participate in the provincial examination, Shu Yu worried that if there was any movement in the capital, it might affect those below. If Meng Yunzheng was unaware, he could suffer losses.
