The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 79: Erya Can’t be So Lazy

Shu Yu stepped forward and greeted her eldest uncle and his wife, then welcomed the two into the central room.

Madam Li had just sat down when the old lady came over and snorted, “What are you sitting for? Didn’t you come here early in the morning to help? Do you really take yourself as a guest? Come with me to the kitchen to pick some vegetables.”

Madam Li’s expression immediately turned ugly, but she didn’t say much. After informing Lu Dasong, she went to the kitchen.

Lu Dasong went into the house to see Lu Erbai. Shu Yu poured him a glass of water, then went to the backyard to boil medicine for Lu Erbai.

The medicine on Lu Erbai’s leg had to be changed every day, and only Shu Yu was better at this.

Madam Li entered the kitchen and only saw the old lady and Madam Ruan.

Even Sanya was there, but she didn’t see Shu Yu follow in. She immediately felt uncomfortable and said sourly, “Why isn’t Erya coming in to help? We have to entertain the guests, but she’s hiding. A lady can’t be too lazy.”

The old lady abruptly stood up and glared at her, “Who are you calling lazy? If you don’t want to do it, go back home. Why are you being so sarcastic? Don’t make things difficult for yourself. Erya is obedient and diligent. I didn’t let her into the kitchen. Do you have a problem with that?”

The old lady did not lie about this. Erya was too honest and not stingy at all when entertaining guests. If Erya were to be allowed to cook, the old lady could guarantee that Madam Li and the others would want to have dinner after lunch.

The old lady vowed to prevent such things from happening.

Their family was in a difficult time now, so they should save as much as they could. Besides, didn’t they usually eat like this?

Madam Li didn’t dare to refute her mother-in-law, but she still felt that Shu Yu had retained the air of a young miss even though she had returned home.

The old lady did not care what she thought. On the contrary, she felt that Erya had seen the world and knew more than them. The girl was doing big things! How could she be confined to the stove?

Not long after, Lu Sanzhu came over with Madam Liang.

Madam Li was very shocked. She looked up at the sky. The sun had not risen from the west.

The third brother and his wife would usually rush over only when it was time for dinner. Once they arrived, they would take the bowls and chopsticks to the table and eat straight away. Then, they would leave after eating and would never help.

To think they were here so early today. Madam Liang even rolled up her sleeves and came in to help, looking very energetic.

“Mother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I am here. What do I need to do? Just tell me. ‘

The old lady glanced at her. Well, Sanzhu must have told her about Erya’s abilities. It was rare for her to be so diligent. She handed the latter a basket of vegetables, “Take it to the river to wash.”

Madam Liang responded and left happily.

The old lady looked at her three troublesome daughters-in-law. She was not satisfied with all three of them.

Her eldest daughter-in-law was hypocritical and petty. She would smile on the surface but play dirty tricks in the dark.

Her second daughter-in-law was timid and had no opinions of her own, and even had a vicious maternal family.

Her third daughter-in-law was lazy, spoiling the child so much that he was out of control, and even the child’s father couldn’t control him.

However, no matter how much she disliked them, she could not return them.

The old lady thought about it as she walked out of the kitchen. She saw Daniu coming over.

Daniu held a fish in his hand and smiled. “Grandma, this is for you. I just went to the river to catch it. It’s still alive and kicking. We can have an extra dish for lunch.”

The old lady was all smiles. “My gosh, my eldest grandson is so capable. Come, give me the fish and quickly go back to change your clothes. Look at how wet you are. Don’t catch a cold.”

Dahu came out from behind Daniu, also drenched. The old lady urged him to change his clothes as well..
