Chapter 2021: Sending Uncle Three to Collect Debts

However, Grandma Fang's motivation wasn't solely about earning money; she also found joy and fulfillment in creating exquisite clothes. She longed to craft fine garments from high-quality fabrics, which gave her a sense of accomplishment.

Seeing this, Grandma Lu and Yuangui didn't object, but they advised her to manage her time well and not overexert herself.

Hence, Grandma Fang's wages were based on piecework – she was paid according to the number of garments she completed.

Grandma Lu mentioned, "At this time, she's likely at the garment workshop. Later, she should come back to have dinner with you and your mother. Since Yuangui isn't here, she either eats here or with Ah Xiang's group. I don't interfere; as long as she's comfortable, that's what matters. It's better than the days before."

Shu Yu nodded, "Living in Liufang Lane is indeed convenient. Meng Yunzheng's rented house is also located there."

"By the way, since Auntie and Yuangui bought a house here, what about Yuangui's original house in the city? Did he handle it?"

Yuangui originally had a small house in the city, which he had bought earlier using all his savings and a loan.

The house was quite small, but it served as his place of residence.

With the news of his passing spreading, and with no children or close relatives, it was unclear what had happened to the house—whether it was reclaimed by the authorities or taken over by someone else.

Grandma Lu shook her head, "No, after we returned, we took your Grand Aunt to pay respects to your great-grandparents, and later, she thought about buying a house and moving. After settling in, Da Niu returned, saying they needed to transport a batch of goods to Changjin Prefecture store. He also mentioned that you were discussing forming a caravan and wanted Yuangui to take charge. He was eager to join, hoping to earn more money, so they left with Da Niu as soon as the goods were inventoried."

It was such a rush that Yuangui didn't have time to go to the city.

"We all know about the unethical activities of his previous escort agency. To maintain his reputation, he concealed the fact that Yuangui fell off a cliff. They didn't put much effort into searching for him back then. This matter can't be left unresolved. When Yuangui returns from this trip, he'll definitely want an explanation."

Shu Yu smiled, "Yes, we need an explanation. We'll have Third Uncle accompany him when the time comes. Third Uncle is enthusiastic about debt collection."

Grandma Lu's mouth twitched, recalling the scene when they went to collect debts from the Chen family.

"He's quite old but still hasn't settled down."

But speaking of Lu Sanzhu, Grandma Lu suddenly seemed hesitant and looked at Shu Yu with some doubt. "I heard from Ah Rui and the others that you encountered Da Niu on your way back?"

"Yes, we met him."

"Did Da Niu tell you anything about your Third Uncle?"

Shu Yu sighed, "I suppose you mean that Third Uncle has been spreading the news that I became a county princess everywhere?"

"Yes, he's been quite smug." Grandma Lu's words seemed to reprimand Lu Sanzhu, but she was secretly pleased. Her granddaughter was remarkable, and she thought a little boasting was acceptable; it would be strange if she didn't. Who wouldn't want to brag?

"No worries; I'm prepared. Besides, when everyone learned about becoming a county princess initially, many people came to our house, but I sent them away. Now, after a few months, it's not as intense as it was at the beginning."
