Chapter 567: Getting Food

The eldest daughter also chimed in, "Yes, once ten days or half a month passes, my brothers will come. They have been learning martial arts since childhood and possess great skills. With them around, that despicable woman won't be able to get away with her wrongdoings. We can settle our grudges and seek revenge."

The Shu family members suddenly woke up from their daze. That's right, what were they afraid of? They just had to wait a little longer, around ten days or half a month, until the Shu family men arrived. With their skills, there was nothing to fear from Shu Yu, who only had mediocre abilities.

If they persisted and held on until the Shu family men arrived, their days would improve.

The rest of the Shu family members were filled with hope, but the second young miss wore a frustrated expression.

Wait, wait, it was always waiting.

Since they were imprisoned, they had watched Shu Yu live a comfortable life while they anticipated the day she would be dealt with. However, even during their exile journey, she not only ate well and lived comfortably but also rode on a mule cart.

Finally, when they arrived at the place of exile, they thought they could exact revenge, but they ended up suffering instead.

They had waited for so long, yet Shu Yu remained unscathed and even improved. On the other hand, they were tormented day after day, as if there was no end in sight.

The Shu family members continued to fantasize about the days when they would reunite with the Shu family's men, as it was the only thing that could sustain them through the arduous labor that awaited them.

Meanwhile, Shu Yu had already left the courtyard and looked around before heading to the left.

Although Zhengdao Village was a village of exiles, the prisoners here generally regained their freedom after three years of labor, without the need to work for the government regularly.

Of course, they still couldn't leave the Linzhang Prefecture, but comparatively, they had less demanding tasks.

Shu Yu noticed two or three houses in the left direction that seemed to have been renovated. They appeared to be in better condition than the other earthen houses.

If someone had the ability and means to repair their house, they were either already free or belonged to the well-off exiles who had enough food reserves.

Shu Yu assessed the layout of Zhengdao Village while walking towards the first house.

At this time, there were hardly any people on the road. Those who had finished their work had already returned. After a day of labor, no one had the energy to chat like they did in Shizhuang Village.

Shu Yu stood at the doorstep of the first house, and she could faintly hear voices from inside.

She knocked on the door, but at first, there was no response. She knocked again a couple of times, and finally, a voice from inside asked, "Who is it?"

As the door opened, the person inside was momentarily surprised when they saw Shu Yu.

Upon seeing her prison clothes, their gaze immediately became guarded.

However, Shu Yu acted as if she didn't notice and smiled, "I apologize for the interruption. I just arrived from Dong'an Prefecture and reached Zhengdao Village today. As a newcomer, I don't know anyone here. I've been trying to find someone to inquire about the situation but couldn't find anyone. When I walked to your doorstep, I heard cheerful voices inside. So I took the liberty to knock and wanted to ask you about the village's situation."

Shu Yu's words were pleasant, and the woman in front of her seemed to appreciate them.

After all, their family was indeed living harmoniously. In Zhengdao Village, where few people had good lives, everyone enjoyed hearing about a harmonious household.

"What would you like to know?"
