Chapter 72: Village Chief Fan
Shu Yu squatted and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Dahu gulped and took out a small box, “Second sister, this… This is the ointnt you asked us to make.”
Shu Yu took it, opened it, and slled it. It was a strong sll that wasn’t quite pleasant, but it was made very carefully.
Dahu looked at her nervously, “Second sister, is it okay?”
“Of course,” Shu Yu nodded. While she was helping the twins vent their anger, the two children were also diligently carrying out the task she gave them. They were not sloppy at all.
Dahu was happy, “That’s great. I was worried that we had overdone it. Second sister, can we apply it on Sanya already then?”
“Not yet, I need to add sothing,” Shu Yu stood up, “Leave the rest to .
Don’t worry, Sanya will beco a little beauty very soon.”
Dahu pursed his lips and smiled again, looking very happy.
For the next two days, Shu Yu followed the old lady to et the village chief of Shangshi Village.
The village chief’s surna was Fan, and because he was a relative of the mayor of Wenlan Town, the villagers were not surprised that he was the village chief.
Village Chief Fan was not exactly a good person. He had selfish motives and was greedy for small gains. He liked to listen to people’s praises and would embezzle so small money to spend. That being said, he still had a bottom line and would not exploit the villagers too much.
In general, he did not make any huge mistakes nor did he make any huge contributions. He was not good, but not bad either.
When Shu Yu ca to visit for the first ti, he seed sowhat displeased, probably because he felt that she didn’t value him enough since she only ca after a few days. However, he did a good job on the surface. He asked his wife to pick so fresh vegetables and send them over as a congratulatory gift.
The old lady then brought Shu Yu to Eldest Uncle Lu l s house. However, other than Lu Dasong and Daniu, both of whom Shu Yu had t before, the other children were brought back to their maternal grandparents’ by the eldest uncle’s wife. She said that her maternal family was holding a wedding ceremony, so she brought her children to participate in the wedding banquet.
The old lady was disgruntled, thinking that the eldest uncle’s wife was doing this on purpose. She knew that Erya was back, yet she did not even co to see her. She even took her children away. She simply wasn’t acting like an elder.
Lu Dasong explained awkwardly, “Honey went to second brother’s house before, but there was no one at ho at that ti, so she ca back. Erniu and the others are eager to et Erya too. It’s just a coincidence.” The old lady snorted coldly and went back with Shu Yu.
Shu Yu didn’t mind. She would see them sooner or later anyway.
The only thing she cared about now was Lu Erbai’s family.
After they returned, Shu Yu gave the old lady a piece of silver, “Grandma, in two days, fourth aunt and the others will co to our house. We have to entertain them. Take this money and buy so food.”
The old lady refused, “What’s the need for that? We’re all family. They know about our family’s situation. We can just have so stead buns with salted vegetables.”
Shu Yu was speechless.
She took back the silver, “Alright. If you don’t want it, I’ll take it myself. I’ll buy so food later.”
When the old lady heard this, she beca anxious and quickly snatched the silver fragnt back, “That can’t do. If I leave you to it, you might buy sothing expensive. Look in the cabinet, there’s still a lot of rice and flour left. You’re not allowed to buy those anymore.”
When Shu Yu passed her the silver again, the old lady sighed and accepted it in the end, “You only have so little money. If you spend it on us, what about your dowry in the future?
“Don’t I have you guys? After we open the shop, you’ll be the ones doing the hard work. You can just help
save up again.”
The old lady loved to hear this..
