Chapter 702: Room and Board Included Here

Shu Feng wanted to gather more information, but Wang Changdong was already impatient. "Alright, if I can't say, I can't say. Don't stand around here. Don't you see what time it is? Go do your work!"

Shu Feng opened his mouth, not daring to offend him. Now that Lu Shuyu was already in charge, they couldn't afford to make others hate them.

So he could only force a smile and thank him before hurrying back to the Shu family group.

The Shu family members hurriedly approached and asked, "What happened? What did that official Wang say?"

Shu Feng's face turned gloomy as he recounted what Wang Changdong had told him.

The Shu family members wore expressions of disbelief. "What? Hou Shi and her daughter have left?!"

The voice was quite loud, and Lu Shuyu was sitting nearby, making it hard not to hear.

She glanced at them, raised an eyebrow, and thought to herself, how interesting that the Shu family only found out about Hou Shi and her sixth sister leaving now?

That was truly amusing.

Watching as the last person finished registering, Lu Shuyu stood up and prepared to pack her things and head inside.

Aunt Xue, who had been watching her all this time, rushed out. "Wait, we haven't registered yet. Why are you leaving?"

Lu Shuyu paused for a moment. "Oh, I thought none of you were going to line up and planned to take the day off from work."

"No, of course not."

The Shu family members didn't have time to condemn Hou Shi and her daughter anymore. With so many of them, if everyone took the day off, they would go hungry today and tomorrow.

The Shu family members rushed over, had Lu Shuyu register first, and then went to collect their tools.

Only Shu Feng remained standing in place. He gritted his teeth and asked, "How did you become the steward of the manor?"

Lu Shuyu raised her head and sneered. "What does it have to do with you?"

"You..."

Lu Shuyu turned and left, leaving Shu Feng seething outside the door.

Not bothering to think about what the Shu family members were thinking, Lu Shuyu went inside and poured herself a cup of hot water. Taking a sip, she instantly felt much more comfortable.

Her movements were quick, and she was efficient. As a result, everyone involved in the land cultivation had finished registering, while the hunting team had yet to arrive.

She took the opportunity to take a short break.

But just as she sat down at the round table in the hall, she heard footsteps behind her. In no time, a bowl of steaming noodles was placed in front of her.

Lu Shuyu looked up in surprise, seeing the person in front of her. "Aunt Fang?"

Aunt Fang pushed the bowl closer to her. "You must be hungry. Eat quickly. I just cooked them. You can taste my cooking too."

As she spoke, Wang Changdong walked in from outside.

Seeing Lu Shuyu's bewildered expression, he laughed and walked over to her, saying to Aunt Fang, "Bring me a bowl of noodles too. I'll eat here."

"Alright." Aunt Fang turned around and left.

Wang Changdong turned to Lu Shuyu and said, "I didn't have a chance to tell you since you didn't come to work the past few days. People working on this manor are provided with meals. Aunt Fang eats here as well. But if you want to have your meals at home, just let the kitchen know in advance. It's not mandatory. Accommodation used to be provided too, but I thought you'd be more comfortable staying at home, so I didn't reserve a room for you."

Lu Shuyu understood. She nodded and smiled. "I was actually planning to go home for breakfast after finishing here. I didn't expect to receive such good treatment."

Wang Changdong chuckled. "Of course. Although you don't have to go home for meals, you can still go back and take a nap when you have free time."
