The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Bad Relations with the Shu Family Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Bad Relations with the Shu Family Shu Yu’s chopsticks paused slightly as she looked up, “Madam Hou and her family specifically asked for help from the Lord to purposely go to the courier station just to avoid the Shu family.”

Wang Changdong was surprised, “Your relationship with the other members of the Shu family isn’t good?”

Although he had learned about Shu Yu, he only knew about her background. As for her emotional grievances with the Shu family, he really wasn’t clear.

He had seen that Shu Yu and Madam Hou had a close relationship, and since Madam Hou lived with the Shu family, he had assumed her relationship with her foster parents was good. Otherwise, why would she send meat to Madam Hou? Who knew that when mentioning the Shu family, it would be with such disdain.

Shu Yu was almost done eating and, upon hearing this, she wiped her mouth with the handkerchief, “It’s more than just not good. The Shu family are like blood-sucking leeches. If they find out Madam Hou is having a good life, they will probably find a way to make her serve them like an ox or horse. Brother Wang, you didn’t tell the Shu family which courier station Madam Hou is in, did you?”

“Rest assured, this is not something to tell just anyone who comes asking. I’ll tell the others to keep it a secret.”

Anyway, there weren’t many who knew which courier station Madam Hou was at.

Shu Yu, “Then, thank you very much, Brother Wang.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Wang Changdong got the gist of the situation with the Shu family. He lowered his head and quickly slurped up his noodles.

After a while, the Hunting Team arrived.

The one who ran in first was Fang Xiyue. Seeing Shu Yu, she hurried over, “Yu.”

Shu Yu lifted her head and waved to her. When Xiyue approached, she whispered, “Your father’s medicine must be almost out by now, right? After the hunt this afternoon, come to my place to get it. My brother left some behind for you before he left.”

Fang Xiyue was moved, “Okay.” She wouldn’t just take it for free either; it was her father’s medication money.

Doctor Lu said that the herbs were all collected by himself and they were just common herbs which didn’t cost much. However, it was still necessary to give what should be given, only that they were tight on money currently.

Fortunately, these past two days, she took the opportunity during her free time to go to town and buy needles and thread to make some needlework to sell. She would be able to save up the money soon.

During their conversation, Ma Lu and others also arrived.

After resting for two days and making a trip to the prefecture, everyone was brimming with energy, practically creating a breeze as they walked.

Seeing Shu Yu, they all came to greet her. However, since Wang Changdong was also present, they were mindful of his status and didn’t engage in much small talk.

It was Wang Changdong who asked them about their trip to the prefecture. Only then did Shu Yu learn that after they went to the prefecture, they rescued a young master who had fallen into the water. The young master, seeing their strong and robust appearance despite their plain clothes, thought of arranging some work for them.

But upon learning they were exiled criminals, the young master’s expression changed instantly. Still, it wouldn’t be right to turn unfriendly after they saved him, so he simply gave them fifty taels of silver to split among themselves.

Fifty taels, ten taels each, truly hit the spot for Ma Lu and his friends.

As they talked and laughed, two more teams gradually arrived.

Shu Yu was ready to start working, “I’ll get the paper and pen and register everyone first.”

However, before she could leave, Wang Changdong stood up and said, “No rush, let’s wait until all the teams have arrived. I have something to say, and after that, it won’t be too late to register.”

So, Shu Yu stopped and stood aside with Fang Xiyue, waiting together.

After a short time, Aunt Fang came to clear the dishes and utensils.

And right after, the Hunting Team had all assembled.
