Chapter 580: Dealing with the Second Miss
With that in mind, Hou Shi squinted her eyes and said, "I think if she is causing harm, she will eventually harm all of us."
Shu Yu nodded in agreement. "That's what I think too."
Hou Shi took a deep breath. "So what should we do?"
She had already prepared herself to personally deal with the second miss. Who knew that Shu Yu would smile and say, "We'll stage a little act and say a few words. That's all."
Hou Shi was ...

Chapter 579: Indeed, She Wants to Harm Her
Shu Yu walked out of the kitchen, and Aunt Xue happened to come in at the same time.
She glanced at Shu Yu, appearing hesitant and pitiful. Shu Yu, however, left without showing any expression, passing by her. Aunt Xue could only take the ingredients into the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Shu Yu pretended to return to her room to fetch something, but when no one was paying attention, she took a detour and went to the back of the c...

Chapter 578: Not That Simple
Shu Yu felt that as long as there were no people like Master Lan in Zhengdao Village, she could still make progress step by step.
Hunting, from a different perspective, was actually much freer compared to tasks like clearing land, making charcoal, or mining.
Meng Yunzheng saw that she had a plan in mind and decided not to persuade her further.
After finishing her rice balls, Shu Yu gulped down two mouthfuls of soy milk and clapped her h...

Chapter 577: Master Lan Breaks His Leg
After Shu Yu and the others finished eating, the Shu family slowly gathered firewood and fetched water.
Although they were all exhausted and had no energy left, there was still a small dispute over who would fetch water and cook. In the end, no one managed to take advantage of the situation.
The next day was another gloomy and seemingly hopeless day. Everyone except Shu Yu felt like they were living in misery, especially after a day ...

Meng Yunzheng explained, "They came to Heichang County mainly for you."
So, it was impossible for them to earn money and live a good life in the county while being unable to help the tired and exhausted Shu Yu.
From the beginning, the Lu family had made plans. Lu Erbai, Ruan Shi, and Da Ya would work in the county to support the family.
Grandma, Da Hu, and San Ya came to take care of Shu Yu. They didn't need to do much, ju...

Chapter 575: The Division of Labor in the Lu Family
After establishing a good relationship with the escorts, Lu Erbai rented a small courtyard in Heichang County the next day. Although it wasn't very big, it was enough for the whole family to live in.
Subsequently, the Lu family found a place and set up their stall, with Ruan Shi and Da Ya taking charge of selling snacks.
They sold local specialty snacks from Jiangyuan County, which were not difficult to make. However, in...

Inside the water pouch was a mild soy milk with a hint of saltiness. Shu Yu took a bite of the bun and a sip of the soy milk, quickly filling her stomach halfway. She held the chicken leg in her hand and gnawed on it slowly.
She looked at the forest in front of her and said, "I want to go into the mountains for hunting."
In the southwest, while there might not be much else, there were plenty of deep forests and abundant game.

As Shu Yu watched him walk away, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
At this moment, the frail woman who had been working with her walked over. She looked at Shu Yu with a complex expression in her eyes, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but seemed afraid of Master Lan's presence.
After a while, she couldn't hold back any longer and reminded Shu Yu, "Miss, that entertainment institution is not a good place. You... you shou...

In addition, she had a small piece of salt.

Hou Shi nodded in agreement. "I believe they will soon experience some hardship."

But seeing the expression on Master Lan's face, Shu Yu dismissed the idea.
