Chapter 64: Go Down the Path of Gossip

Lord Yu would never admit that his original intention was to buy a pair of twins. He never considered the fact that doing so would break up a good family.
Still, he had only thought about it. In contrast, Old Lady Ruan had put it into action.
He couldn’t let such a wicked person continue to do evil. Otherwise, how many more children would be hurt in the future? The Daoist nun had said that he had to take care of children, so he had to teach such a person a lesson. He had to set an example to others, which could also be considered as indirectly protecting many children.
Therefore, when Old Lady Ruan came to the Yu family for their help in seeking justice for her because Shu Yu had smashed her house, she was simply sending herself to the door. Lord Yu straight away sent people to the Ruan Family Village and tore down half of Old Lady Ruan’s house. He even broke the Ruan family’s eldest son’s leg.
Of course, all of this happened later.
Shu Yu, who had just separated from Lord Yu, quickly removed her makeup after making sure that no one was following her. She then redressed as an ordinary farmer’s daughter.
She held the silver notes in her hand and couldn’t help but feel happy.
She finally had some money on hand. With this, she could do a lot of things.
Shu Yu bought a bag of meat buns on the street. As she ate, she walked towards Shangshi Village with light steps.
There weren’t any ox-carts here, but the distance was still alright. She reached the village entrance after walking for nearly 45 minutes.
As soon as she arrived, she saw a familiar figure looking around.
When he saw Shu Yu, the person immediately rushed over and asked, “Erya, you’re finally back. Where did you go yesterday? Where did you go? What the hell did you do, you… Oh, this fragrance, it’s a meat bun.”
Lu Sanzhu sniffled as he spoke. He was about to snatch the buns from Shu Yu out of reflex, but when he saw Shu Yu’s smiling face, he suddenly came back to his senses. Thinking of her savage actions, he immediately took two steps back and laughed dryly, “Erya, your meat buns look pretty good.”
Seeing that he had put in a lot of effort yesterday, Shu Yu handed him one. Then, she walked into the village in a good mood.
Lu Sanzhu took a big bite out of the meat bun. Seeing Shu Yu walk in, he immediately followed her while eating, “Erya, how did the incident yesterday
Shu Yu stopped and turned to look at him. She asked, “Have you fed the chickens?”
Why was she still going on about her chickens? They wouldn’t starve to death even if they went without food for a day.
Lu Sanzhu took a big bite of the meat bun and said, “Yes, I fed them.”
He added, “Your kitchen door was locked, and there was nothing to feed the chickens. I took the chicken feed from my own house, and I was scolded by my wife.
Shu Yu turned to look at him, “Didn’t you want to know if the Yu family’s matter has been resolved? You’ll know if you go to the Ruan Family Village.”
Lu Sanzhu was speechless. She asked him about the chickens when he asked her about business, but now that he was talking about the chickens, she talked about business instead.
Hmm? Wait a minute.
He abruptly raised his head, “The Ruan Family Village?”
“Uh-huh.”
Lu Sanzhu stuffed the bun into his mouth in a few bites and wiped the oil stains on his clothes. He was extremely excited as he said, “I’ll go now.”
After saying that, he ran off.
Shu Yu shook her head. As expected, Third Uncle Lu had gone down the path of gossip.
She turned around and continued to walk toward the Lu family’s residence.
When she reached the center of the village, she noticed a few villagers pointing at her.
Shu Yu vaguely heard them say that she had smashed the Ruan Family Village with an axe. It seemed that the news of what happened in the Ruan Family Village yesterday had already spread here..
