The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 499: The Change in the Shu Family’s Attitudes

After hesitating for a moment, Shu Yu turned to look at the Shu family and explained, “They wanted to kill me because I wasn’t a daughter of the Shu family. Although I was lucky enough to escape death, I didn’t have any silver on me. After escaping from the residence, I suffered a lot. At that time, I had this problem. When I had silver, I would separate it and bury it under the ground. That way, I would have a sense of security.”

When the officers heard this, they could not help but look at the Shu family. What a sin.

The Shu family was even angrier. What, did she get a blessing in disguise?

Shu Yu looked at the officer in charge. “I’m telling the truth. I don’t have the guts to lie to you.”

“Alright, I don’t think you dare to lie to us.” The leader nodded and waved her away.

Just as Shu Yu was about to leave, another official asked, “How much silver did you bury in so many places?”

If it was less, then they would also suffer a loss.

Shu Yu replied, “About a hundred taels.”

A hundred taels? Adding on the fifteen taels of silver he had given them on the way. It was nearly a hundred and twenty taels.

The six of them received less than twenty taels each.

To be honest, it wasn’t much.

However, they had thought that they would not gain anything along the way.

Now that they had an unexpected income, it was a pleasant surprise.

Twenty taels of silver were also silver. An ordinary farmer’s family could use it for five to six years. They were not generous enough to push this white silver away.

In any case, it was just a convenience for this girl. It was worth it to let her eat the same food as them.

Therefore, the officials nodded and did not ask any more questions. They just kept the ten taels of silver and excitedly discussed asking the chef to cook two more meat dishes at the courier station at night.

Shu Yu returned to her previous position and calmly began to eat the rice balls.

The Shu family’s eyes were about to pop out as they stared at her in shock and hatred.

Shu Yu raised her head and looked at them. Then, she smiled and raised the rice ball at them.

The Shu family was speechless. B*tch!

The pancake in the big girl’s hand was broken into two pieces by her. A small piece of pancake fell to the ground. She couldn’t care less about Shu Yu and quickly picked up the small piece. She blew the dust twice and ate it in pain.

Shu Yu finished her meal happily and leaned against the big tree to rest. She did not know that there were a few people in the Shu family who were looking at her with complicated, calculating, or contemplative gazes.

The official quickly urged them to set off again. At night, the group arrived at the relay station.

The officers did send someone to send a letter back, asking them to go to the two places Shu Yu mentioned to dig for silver.

Shu Yu had a magnanimous look on his face, but the few officers were relieved.

Because of what happened during the day, Shu Yu could feel a subtle change in the attitude of the Shu family toward her when she slept at night.

Perhaps it was because they finally realized that there was no benefit in going against her, or rather, their idea of using her as a shield to isolate her and make her suffer was not valid, so they began to reconsider their future interactions with her.

However, Shu Yu did not want to change this way. She was alone and relaxed. Why did she have to maintain superficial harmony with the Shu family? Was she tired?

Fortunately, they didn’t do anything that night and slept quietly.

As usual, Shu Yu got up and went to the toilet. She skillfully followed Meng Yunzheng, who was waiting in the dark, into an empty room.
