Chapter 1837: Backing from Her Maternal Family

After crying for a while, Grandma Lu angrily pounded the table and gritted her teeth, "Chen Bing, that despicable beast! Our Fang family was truly blind to have considered him. He used to seem so honest on the surface, but he's actually a cunning and treacherous villain. He made my sister suffer for so many years, and I won't let him off easy."

Shu Yu chimed in, "Exactly, exactly. Grand Aunt didn't have any support from her maternal family before, so he dared to act so recklessly. Now that our maternal family is here, we're definitely going to hold him accountable."

The old lady vigorously nodded. "You're right." Regardless of whether the Lu family was living a comfortable life now or still struggling as before, she would take her two sons to confront him.

After venting about Chen Bing, Grandma Lu wiped her tears.

Shu Yu consoled her, "Thankfully, Grand Aunt has finally overcome her hardships and reunited with us. Moreover, she has a filial grandson now. Our future days will surely be smooth sailing."

"Exactly, what about what you just said, Yuan Gui?" The old lady wanted to know more.

Shu Yu was worried that she would remain immersed in Grand aunt's suffering, so she shared some happy news with her. She talked about Yuan Gui, the village chief and villagers of Hedeng Village, and the lady from the Guan family. Mentioning these people who were close to her Grand Aunt helped put Grandma Lu's mind at ease.

Once Grandma Lu's emotions stabilized, Shu Yu helped her lie down on the bed to rest.

Afterward, she stayed in the room for a while, waiting until Grandma Lu had fallen asleep before quietly slipping out and closing the door behind her.

As she turned around, Shu Yu let out a long sigh of relief.

Upon leaving the courtyard, she bumped into Meng Pei, who had rushed back from outside.

Seeing Shu Yu, Meng Pei hurriedly asked, "I heard your Grandmother and your Father have arrived?"

"Yes, they're resting inside."

"Let them rest well." Meng Pei said happily, "I'll host them for a welcome dinner tonight. Coincidentally, I ran into a farmer selling beef outside, and I had him set aside a few pounds for me. I'll go pick it up later."

Beef was quite rare nowadays. Cows were valuable assets in farming, so they couldn't be slaughtered casually. Unless a cow was old and unable to work or some accident occurred, only then could they be sold. Even so, it required official approval.

Shu Yu had been here for a while and had only eaten beef once, so she was quite tempted.

After Meng Pei finished speaking, he hurriedly left the escort agency.

Shu Yu chuckled and shook her head, then turned to find Ying Xi. Earlier, Ying Xi and Ying Dong had gone inside to talk, so Shu Yu wanted to ask about their journey.

The journey had been peaceful, but they had encountered a few interesting incidents.

As they got closer to Changjin Prefecture, they heard more about the rebellion in Chenggu County. As a result, the Lu family had heard quite a bit along the way, much of which was exaggerated and sensationalized.

If it weren't for the fact that Grandma Lu and Lu Erbai had previously been to the southwest and seen many things, allowing them to discern between fact and fiction, they might not have held up as well.

Shu Yu knew this and sought out Meng Xiaoshu. The Lu family's arrival had been sudden, so they wouldn't be leaving anytime soon, and she expected that they would be chatting with the Meng family for a while.

Meng Xiaoshu didn't mind. After all, when Meng Han had gone to Jiangyuan County, it was the Lu family who had taken care of her. They treated the girl so well that she didn't want to leave even when it was time to return.

Now that the Lu family had come, Meng Xiaoshu was more than happy for them to stay longer. It would allow him to show them the same kind of hospitality they had shown Meng Han.
