Chapter 1022: Ruan Shi and the Others Return

Lu Dasong turned over and said, "What are you daydreaming about? We're fine, why do we need to buy a house? Alright, go to sleep quickly. We have things to do tomorrow."

After saying that, he fell asleep and started snoring in no time.

Li Shi called him a few times but couldn't wake him up. She almost spat blood out and said, "It's because of your passive nature that Third Brother and his wife got the advantage. Why did I marry you?"

However, she didn't know that Liang Shi was also talking to Lu Sanzhu about them.

"Child's father, tell me, why did Ah Yu let Da Niu manage the mansion instead of you?"

Lu Sanzhu was excited because he had just returned from work and heard that they had acquired the house.

He had gone to see it specifically, and the house was really good. He liked it very much. He had inspected every nook and cranny and still wasn't satisfied. He wished he could move the bedding and furniture there tonight and live there.

It was already past the hour of Hai, but he was still wide awake.

After hearing Liang Shi's words, Lu Sanzhu was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Liang Shi sat up abruptly. "Although Sister-in-law's words earlier made me angry, she wasn't wrong. If you work with Ah Yu, you definitely won't be mistreated. Da Niu is now helping to manage that estate. He might be earning ten taels of silver a month, maybe even more than you."

Lu Sanzhu's eyes showed some envy upon hearing this, but then he frowned. "Are you suggesting that I should also go?"

Liang Shi nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, yes. Think about it. You're working in Peach Blossom forest now and have experience. If you go to work at her Sunflower farm, it's almost the same thing, right? If you work for Ah Yu, you won't be far behind in the future."

Who knows, Lu Sanzhu shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this. "I'm not going."

"Why?"

"If I work with Ah Yu, would I dare to slack off?" Lu Sanzhu said confidently, "When the time comes, I won't even have time to eat as I'll be working like a horse. It's hundreds mu of land, and I'm afraid of any problems that might arise."

Liang Shi glared at him. "Look at how useless you are."

"Anyway, I won't do it. I'm fine now, earning a salary by working in Peach Blossom forest. When I have free time, I'll help Ah Yu a little, and she'll give me some silver. It's like making extra money without any pressure."

It's so easy and comfortable. Why would he think otherwise?

After Lu Sanzhu finished speaking, he went to sleep.

Liang Shi huffed in anger, kicked him twice but didn't get any response, so she had to lie down and sleep as well.

Both couples had their own thoughts, but no one dared to come to Shu Yu and say a word.

Shu Yu found it strange, wondering if she had amassed too much authority, causing Eldest Aunt and Third Aunt to only dare to argue in private?

But since they didn't come to her, she felt relieved.

She helped out at the shop for two days and thought Shu You and the others would return by the third day at the latest.

However, it wasn't until the evening of the fourth day, just before the city gate closed, that they finally arrived at the doorstep of Liufang Lane.

Ah Ning was the first to hear the commotion and hurriedly opened the courtyard gate.

Sure enough, she saw a carriage parked outside, and what piqued her curiosity was that there seemed to be a mule cart behind it.

Before she could ask, Ruan Shi and Shu You got off the carriage.

Ah Ning happily ran up to them. "Mother, Eldest Sister, you're finally back."

Shu Yu also came over and glanced around. She saw Mother and Eldest Sister, as well as Zhao Xi, but she didn't see Meng Yunzheng.

Instead, a girl got off the mule cart behind them.

That girl was confident and graceful. She smiled slightly at Shu Yu and the accompanying Lu family members.
