Chapter 1030: Moving to the New Home
Li Shi glanced at Zhou Qiao, what should she say now? What else could she say?
Just then, Lu Dasong was calling out to her, "Child's mother..."
Li Shi glared at Zhou Qiao again, then put on a smiling face and quickly walked up. "What's the matter?"
"Hurry up and pack up. We're going to the county with mother later."
Li Shi was stunned. "Going to the county? What for?"
Lu Dasong smiled happily, exuding joy. "D...
Chapter 1029: Lan Hua's Decision
Li Shi felt nauseous inside. Since she couldn't talk to Da Niu, she had to find Zhou Qiao.
As a daughter-in-law of the Lu family, Zhou Qiao naturally had to help with the chores after dinner.
She had just finished washing the dishes and wiped her hands when she saw her mother-in-law approaching.
Seeing Li Shi's unfriendly expression, Zhou Qiao's heart skipped a beat. She knew that the matter she had been avoiding would eventuall...
Chapter 1028: The Grand Residence is Completed
The marriage proposal went smoothly, and the engagement was officially confirmed. The next steps would be the betrothal gifts, name inquiry, selection of an auspicious date, engagement ceremony, and finally the wedding.
After busy preparations, ten days had passed.
The agreed-upon wedding date was set for the end of the year.
During the marriage proposal, Doctor Zhao wasn't present, but he couldn't miss the wedding...
Chapter 1027: Getting Married by the End of the Year
During this time period, it was when most people were out working. However, as soon as the door was opened, they heard a commotion outside.
Especially the neighbors living next to the Lu family, they were surprised to see Liu Matchmaker, who was famous far and wide, and their eyes widened.
Someone, curious about the situation, asked, "Zhao, Dr. Zhao, are you here to propose marriage?"
To whom? Could it be to ...
Chapter 1026: Zhao Xi's Marriage Proposal
Both mother and daughter were mild-mannered individuals. Although they had just arrived the previous night, they got along very well with Ah Xiang and her mother.
However... the tailoring room was still a bit small.
It was fine when it was just Ah Xiang and her mother, but with two more people, the space for storing fabrics and clothes became much narrower, and it wasn't comfortable for them to live there.
After looking...
Chapter 1025: Tian Qin and Her Mother
Zhao Xi waved his hand. "It's fine, the letter is actually about our engagement. Uncle Lu can read it for himself. It will be clearer than me paraphrasing."
Since Zhao Xi insisted, Lu Erbai no longer declined and opened the letter to read.
At the beginning of the letter, it was filled with scolding words from Master Zhao towards Zhao Xi, without any politeness.
However, Lu Erbai could still see the affection Master Zhao had...
Chapter 1024: Preparations for an Engagement
Ruan Shi smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Tian is skilled in embroidery. She can easily enter the embroidery workshops in the capital. However, her mother has been ill, and they couldn't find a doctor to cure her."
Shu Yu suddenly understood. "So Zhao Xi helped her mother with the illness?"
"Yes, Miss Tian is grateful to him. Plus, her mother's illness hasn't fully recovered yet. Knowing that we own a clothing store, she asked if...
Chapter 1023: Bringing Back an Embroiderer
Shu Yu was a bit puzzled, but Shu You had already come to her side and whispered, "Young Master Meng said that he still has some unfinished business in the capital and won't be able to return for another two days. He asked us to tell you not to worry."
Shu Yu cleared her throat lightly. "I'm not worried."
Shu You smiled and then turned to the girl who had gotten off the mule cart. She introduced her to Shu Yu. "This is Miss Ti...
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 ma...
Chapter 1021: Unable to Face Shu Yu
Liang Shi really didn't know. She only knew that Ah Yu had bought a mansion and land.
Initially, Lu Sanzhu had gone with her, but there was a murder case on the mansion that day, so the transaction couldn't be completed.
As for what happened afterwards, Lu Sanzhu didn't know. He had to go to work.
That's hundreds mu of land, and it's being managed by Da Niu like this?
Liang Shi felt sour in her heart, and Li Shi smiled, "H...
Chapter 1020: Chickens Pecking Each Other
Li Shi didn't want to go, but Liang Shi wouldn't allow her to be lazy. Without a second word, she dragged Li Shi into the kitchen.
Li Shi was angry, but she had no choice but to help with the cooking. She felt disgusted inside.
But she couldn't hold back her curiosity about the house for long. She opened her mouth and asked, "Third sister-in-law, did you really buy the house? Where did you buy it? How much did it cost?"
Chapter 1019: The Third Family Buys a House
As the middleman returned, he entered the house and overheard a conversation between two people near the back rooms.
"...Why did you advise third Aunt to buy another courtyard? This one looks good, and third Aunt likes it," Ying Xi said.
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Naturally, it's beneficial for me. If the price here can't be lowered, I'll have Third Aunt buy the courtyard I introduced. Once that courtyard is sold, I'll get my s...
Chapter 1018: Creating a Courtyard from Thin Air
Liang Shi approached Shu Yu cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Ah Yu, what do you think?"
Shu Yu was about to respond when she noticed the middleman perking up his ears on the side. She furrowed her brows slightly and hesitated, saying, "Hmm... the house is alright, but the price is too expensive. Third Aunt, it's a whopping 280 taels. With such a high asking price, it would be better to buy the courtyard I previously introdu...
Chapter 1017: More Than a Dozen Rooms
Lu Da Song had no choice but to put the things they bought behind the counter, inform the old lady, and then leave with Li Shi.
In fact, he was also surprised because he didn't know about Third brother's plan to buy a house.
When it came to things like houses and cars, very few men could completely ignore them and not be curious.
Lu Dasong also felt a strong desire to take a look. So when Li Shi mentioned it, he hesitated f...
Chapter 1016: Aching Heart
Liang Shi's face lit up, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
Shu Yu said to the old lady, "grandmother, buying a house is a major expense that requires us to use up our entire savings. Since Third Uncle isn't here, we can't afford to be careless. I'll accompany Third Aunt."
Coincidentally, it was almost noon, and there weren't many customers coming into the shop. It wouldn't be a problem for her to leave.
The old lady thought about...
Chapter 1015: Snatching the House
Liang Shi chuckled and shook her head. "He doesn't know."
The old lady immediately became unhappy. Alright, borrowing such a large sum of money without discussing it with your husband. If you end up quarreling later, would you blame Shu Yu for having too much money?
She waved her hand, wanting to drive Liang Shi away.
Liang Shi understood the old lady well. She knew what she was about to say just by looking at her expression. S...
Chapter 1014: Liang Shi Has Arrived
The old lady and Lan Hua looked at each other, thinking, "Do you speak of yourself this way?"
Is it audacious to play matchmaker for yourself? Are you considering yourself as a ferocious beast?
The old lady glared at her, feeling annoyed. She then said, "There have been several matchmakers, but as soon as I heard that they wanted to arrange a marriage for you, I straightforwardly rejected them. I didn't even bother listening. I simpl...
Chapter 1013: Who has such audacity?
The old lady was feeling quite pleased now. She had spent a lot of time with Ah Ning, who would blabber on incessantly like a little chatterbox, telling her many things every day.
The old lady found it annoying, but after hearing so much, she had started to take it to heart.
She understood some basic medical principles and had begun to focus on health under Hua Xian's care.
She sneered at Li Shi's behavior of pretending to k...
Chapter 1012: Hundreds of Acres of Land
Shu Yu couldn't help but find Li Shi's expression amusing. What did she say earlier? It seemed like she had been greatly wronged.
However, the old lady found Li Shi annoying and directly said to Lu Dasong, "Weren't you going to buy something? It's getting late, hurry up and go, take your wife with you and let her lend a hand."
Lu Dasong noticed that Li Shi didn't look right and quickly pulled her away.
Li Shi had many dou...
Chapter 1011: Li Shi Knows Nothing
Shu Yu was stunned. Could it be that Eldest Aunt didn't know that Da Niu and his wife had gone to the estate?
Li Shi really didn't know. After she finished speaking, she was about to walk inside. "That Da Niu's wife, she's really something. We've been here for half a day, and she won't come out. All she knows is how to be lazy."
The old lady reached out and stopped her. "That's enough. Da Niu's wife isn't here."
"Not here?" Li...
Chapter 1010: The First Branch Family Arrives
One after another, several people came into the shop. The one who had rushed in and called out to the old lady was Er Niu.
It's unclear whether it was because he had grown a year older or because Da Niu was no longer working in the village, but Er Niu now spent most of his time helping Lu Dasong in the fields.
Especially during this busy farming season of the past half month, Er Niu had gotten visibly tanned.
Even t...
Chapter 1009: It's All About Lu Xiangjun
Originally, it was considered inauspicious for a bride to have her makeup done on her wedding day, especially by someone who had divorced.
But someone said that Shopkeeper Lu was Lu Xiangjun's sister.
Even if she had divorced, she was still a fortunate person. Didn't her life keep getting better after the divorce? The business in the shop she managed became more prosperous.
What else could that be if not good fortune?
Chapter 1008: Shu Yu, Disdained
After tidying up the counter and cleaning the floor, Shu Yu settled down behind the counter.
It was still early in the morning, so there wouldn't be much business.
It wasn't until the end of the morning hour that the old lady arrived with Hua Xian. Only then did a few customers trickle in.
When the customers saw Shu Yu behind the counter, they were momentarily taken aback.
Those who had been to the shop a few times knew t...
Chapter 1007: Shu Yu, the Generous and Benevolent
Both of them were in a state of despair and had indeed drowned their sorrows in alcohol for a few days.
Later, the case of Li Xiaoshan and Elder Cui being murdered by the Tang family caused a sensation in Jiangyuan County. The silver belonging to the Wang family was recovered, and Tang Shi was sentenced to death. This incident became the talk of the town for many days.
Gradually, it was unknown how the rumors started, b...
Chapter 1006: Are You Going to the Capital Too?
Shu Yu didn't see the scene of the wine bottle being smashed in the end, but Ying Xi happened to turn her head and saw it.
So when the mule cart arrived at Liufang Lane and An Ning got off and entered the house, Ying Xi asked in a low voice, "Miss, should I go and investigate that shopkeeper Qiu?"
Shu Yu thought for a moment, "Sure, go ahead and take care of it. If you find out anything and it's nothing major, come and te...
Chapter 1005: Pretending to be Drunk
Shu Yu frowned, not waiting for her to take a closer look, she heard Deng Shi exclaim, "Isn't that shopkeeper Qiu?"
shopkeeper Qiu??
Shu Yu looked carefully and indeed, aside from the disheveled hair and flushed face, it was indeed shopkeeper Qiu from the cloth shop. What's going on?
shopkeeper Qiu heard his name and waved vigorously, "What shopkeeper Qiu? Who's shopkeeper Qiu? I'm not, I want to buy liquor, hurry up and giv...
Chapter 1004: Deng Shi
The Jiang family became a mess. Jiang Ren disappeared, and the third son, Jiang Li, fearing that the creditors would come after him, announced that he had severed ties with the Jiang family.
The two elderly Jiangs aged rapidly, and not long after, Jiang's mother fell seriously ill and passed away.
Finally, Jiang Yi stepped forward and took over the entire Jiang family.
In just a short four months, he not only revived the Jiang family but ...
Chapter 1003: Jiang Family Affairs
The little girl tilted her head and thought, "Which room does Xiao Ya'er is stay in? I want to stay next to her."
Zhou Qiao reached out and said, "Come on, let me show you."
Both Zhou Qiao and Da Niu had known since early on that the little girl would be staying at the estate. The Cui family's house could accommodate people, but the houses among the farmers were really far apart. It was inevitable for a five-year-old girl to live alon...
Chapter 1002: Preparing a Room for An Ning
The problem was that there weren't enough sunflower seeds available, so the remaining land could only be planted with other crops that could grow in saline-alkali soil.
There were indeed crops with good salt-alkali tolerance, such as ramie and goji berries.
However, these crops either had a longer growth cycle or were unsuitable for planting in this season.
Sunflowers could be harvested in just over a hundred days, but...
Chapter 1001: The Remaining Eighty Acres of Land
Zhou Qiao pointed outside and said, "Your eldest brother is busy in the field. Ever since he planted sunflowers on that twenty-acre plot, he can't help but wish to be there all the time. It would be great if they could grow and mature overnight."
Shu Yuyue smiled, "Then I'll go take a look."
In her heart, she was just like her eldest brother. She could only earn money once the sunflowers grew, otherwise she would only ha...
