Chapter 2041: "I Can Provide Two Coffins"


Shu Yu looked at her with a moment of sadness, "Yes, you're right. I saw my grandmother's coffin, and it's quite simple. This won't do. She didn't live in a good house during her lifetime; she should have a good place to rest now."

Everyone was taken aback, wondering if she was really willing to spend money on this?

The second daughter-in-law hurriedly nodded, "Yes, County Princess is right, then..."

"Well, I don't want to interfere too much in other matters, after all, I'm just an outsider, not as close as your sons and grandsons. So, let me take care of the coffin."

The Ruan brothers widened their eyes; she was actually serious and generous.

Shu Yu turned to Ying Xi and instructed, "Later, have someone bring my grandmother out, and you go get an axe to break this coffin."

Everyone was shocked, "County Princess!"

Shu Yu raised her hand to silence them and continued to instruct Ying Xi, "Then, go to the coffin shop in the county and buy a coffin. Time is tight, so choose one quickly. By the way, go to that coffin shop on the west side of town. I know the owner; they had a buy one, get one free promotion before. I think both coffins look nice; maybe someone else can use the second one."

Ying Xi almost burst into laughter; her young lady was too clever.

Others, however, gasped, especially the Ruan brothers, who turned pale instantly. What did she mean? Who buys two coffins at once? Did she want one of them to accompany their mother?

It wasn't that they were overthinking; it was just that Shu Yu's previous actions were too bewildering.

Ruan's second son hurriedly pulled his trembling wife aside and chuckled, "No need to change it. My mother likes this coffin, and it's all prepared now. Moving it around might disturb her."

"Is that so?"

"Yes!" The Ruan brothers nodded firmly.

Shu Yu sighed, "I didn't expect my grandmother to be so frugal. Since this is what she liked, changing it without permission would be disrespectful. Alright, since that's the case, let's change the subject."

She looked at the Ruan brothers again, "Is there anything else I can help with?"

Nothing! Nothing! Nothing more!
Who would dare to make her do anything else? Money was out of the question, and physical labor was even more unthinkable.

The Ruan brothers, feeling wronged, said, "Other things are almost done. We're just waiting to bury her on the mountain tomorrow."

Shu Yu nodded, "Alright, in that case, I won't interfere too much. I don't want to disrupt your plans."

The Ruan brothers breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you leaving then?"

But Shu Yu shook her head, "No, as I said, I'm here to pay my respects to my mother, so of course, I'll accompany my grandmother on her final journey tomorrow. Today, I'll stay in Ruan Village, but..."

She looked at the courtyard in front of her, her face showing a troubled expression.

But others were even more troubled. The Ruan brothers almost choked; she wanted to stay here? Was she serious?
Even Ruan Village's head, who had been silent all along, furrowed his brow.

However, Shu Yu happened to look at him, "I don't know if Head Ruan is aware, but I wonder if there's a suitable place for me to stay in Ruan Village. Originally, I could have stayed at Aunt Xiang's house, but she hasn't had anyone staying there for a long time, and she doesn't have bedding or food."
