The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1837: Chapter 1837: Supported by Her Mother’s Family

After crying for a while, the old lady angrily pounded the table again and said through gritted teeth, ”Chen Bing, that beast, worse than a pig or dog. Our Fang family was blind to have set our sights on him. He always acted innocent, but he’s a deceitful and treacherous villain. He made my sister suffer for so many years; I will absolutely not let him get away with it.”

Shu Yu agreed from the side, ”Exactly, exactly. In the past, when Aunt had no family around, he dared to act so recklessly. Now that our family has come, we’ll definitely settle accounts with him.”

The old lady nodded heavily, ”Yes.” Even now with the Lu family living well, or even if they still were hard up as before, she would still take her two sons to confront him.

After cursing Chen Bing, the old lady couldn’t help but wipe her tears again.

Shu Yu consoled her, ”Fortunately, Aunt’s hard times have come to an end, and she’s reunited with us, and even recognized a filial grandson. The days ahead will definitely be smooth and happy.”

”Yes, yes, yes. What is this you mentioned about Yuan Gui? Hurry and tell me.”

Shu Yu, worried she would remain immersed in Aunt’s hardships, picked happier topics to talk about with her. Speaking about Yuan Gui, the village chief and villagers of Hedeng Village, mentioning Granny Guan, these people who Aunt talked about gave the old lady some peace of mind.

The old lady’s emotions stabilized, and only then did Shu Yu help her to bed.

Then she lingered in the room for a while, and when she saw the old lady was asleep, she tiptoed out and closed the door.

As she turned around, she let out a long breath.

When leaving the courtyard, Shu Yu happened to meet Meng Pei hurriedly returning from outside.

Upon seeing Shu Yu, Meng Pei quickly asked, ”I heard that your old lady and your father arrived?”

”Yes, resting in the room now.”

”Then let them rest well.” Meng Pei said happily, ”We’ll welcome them tonight with a proper dinner. Just now I went out and bumped into a farmer selling beef, asked him to save a few pounds for me, I’ll go get it later.”

Beef was scarce in those days; cows were indispensable helpers for farming, treasured creatures, not to be slaughtered carelessly.

Unless the cow was too old to walk or something unexpected happened, only then would it be allowed to be sold, even then, it must first be registered with the authorities.

Shu Yu had been here so long and had only eaten beef once, feeling a bit tempted.

After speaking, Meng Pei hurriedly turned and left the escort agency.

Shu Yu laughed and shook her head, turning to look for Ying Xi. Earlier, Ying Xi and Ying Dong, the brother-sister duo, went to talk on the side, she went to find Ying Xi to inquire about their journey’s condition.

The journey was safe and sound, and they even encountered a few interesting things.

However, the closer they got to Changjin Prefecture, the more information there was about the rebellion in Chenggu County. So the Lu family heard quite a bit along the way, with many very exaggerated claims.

If the old lady and Lu Erbai hadn’t previously been to the southwest and witnessed such things, knowing many to be overstatements, they wouldn’t have remained so calm.

Shu Yu was aware and went to find Uncle Meng. The Lu family arrived unexpectedly, and wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon, certainly staying with the Meng family for a while.

Uncle Meng didn’t mind, remembering when Meng Han went to Jiangyuan County, the Lu family took care of her, so much that the little girl enjoyed herself to the point of not wanting to return.

Now that the Lu family came, Uncle Meng wished they’d stay longer, allowing him to thoroughly express his hospitality.
