The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Finally, they could leave. After tying the basket, Uncle Hu couldn't wait to drive the ox-cart away.

Along the way, the words that Shu Yu heard the most were about Madam Liang. Even though they were not from the same village, the villagers seemed to know her quite well.

Because Madam Liang had said that she lived in Shangshi Village, Shu Yu couldn't help but be more concerned. She kept quiet the whole time but pricked up her ears to listen.

However, these people rarely mentioned Shangshi Village. Most of them simply said that Madam Liang was stingy, shameless, cunning, and usually only sought profit.

Not only Madam Liang, but her husband, Third Lu, was the same.

The couple was the same kind of people, so their only son was also brought up in the wrong way too. Not only did he bully the other children in the village, but he also made fun of his relatives.

In any case, everyone shook their heads and sighed at the mention of Third Lu and his wife.

As they listened to the gossip, the ox-cart arrived at Shangshi Village.

A few women had already alighted two villages before this. The ox-cart was thus much emptier, and she was the only one to alight at Shangshi Village.

Just as Shu Yu was about to get down from the cart, she saw a man squatting at the entrance of the village.

"Third Lu," Uncle Hu called out to him in a huff.

With a blade of grass in his mouth, Third Lu quickly ran over to his basket to take a look. He stretched out his fingers and counted each and every item. After confirming that there wasn't any missing, he carried the basket on his back in satisfaction and went home without even a word of thanks.

Uncle Hu spat at his back. Unexpectedly, Third Lu seemed to have sensed it and turn around immediately. He glared at Uncle Hu fiercely, "What are you trying to do?"

Uncle Hu was obviously a little afraid of him, so he hurriedly got on the ox-cart and left.

After that, Third Lu also ran away quickly.

Shu Yu was speechless.

These guys were quite funny.

Shu Yu had originally wanted to ask Third Lu for directions, but now that he was gone, she could only carry the sweets and meat while walking into the village herself.

There were not many people at the intersection, but a group of children was playing there.

Shu Yu walked towards them and waved at them, then asked, "Can I ask you something?"

The children who were playing around stopped in an instant and looked at her curiously.

Immediately, their eyes fell on the sweets and pork in her hands and they swallowed hard.

Shu Yu suddenly felt that the things in her hands weighed a thousand pounds. She took out a few candies from her sleeve and handed them over, "I'll give these candies to whoever answers my question."

The candies were a handful of malt candy that she had bought from the sweet shop just now. It was for the convenience of times like this.

Sure enough, the moment she finished speaking, the children immediately jumped and fought to be the first to answer.

"I'll answer. I know everything. You can ask me anything you want."

"You're talking nonsense. You know nothing. I know! After all, I'm the boss."

Shu Yu quickly raised her hand and said, "Then can one of you tell me where Lu Erbai's house is in Shangshi Village? "

Lu Erbai?

The children looked at each other. The adults' names were still unfamiliar to them.

Fortunately, the names of the adults from the Lu family were easier to remember than the others. Immediately, an older child shouted, "I know!"

Shu Yu looked at him.

The child immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to a place not far away, "Lu Erbai is the father of that ugly monster."

Shu Yu frowned. She looked up and saw a little girl walking slowly from not far away. She looked young and had a big basket on her back. The basket was filled with pigweed and it seemed hard for her to walk.
