The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl
Chapter 753 - Chapter 753 Chapter 753 The New Year is Coming Soon

Chapter 753: Chapter 753: The New Year is Coming Soon Chapter 753: Chapter 753: The New Year is Coming Soon Lu Erbai and two others came to Righteous Dao Village, bringing quite a stir to the Lu family, which even dispelled some of the cold weather.

Shu Yu still went up to the manor to work that evening, and only after finishing her tasks the next morning did she ask for leave.

Then, the whole family left Righteous Dao Village in two grand mule carriages.

Some villagers saw them and couldn’t help but envy them.

While ordinary families only had carts, the Lu family actually had two mule carriages.

In fact, it wasn’t just the Zhang family who had their sights set on the Lu family; the day Shu Yu met that young lady wasn’t the only time someone fancied Zhao Xishu. Over the days, either the old lady or Zhao Xishu Shu Yu occasionally encountered particularly friendly families who struck up conversations with them.

Unfortunately, they were destined to return empty-handed.

The Lu family quickly reached Heichang County in their mule carriages. Without that corrupt official, the atmosphere in Heichang County had become much more harmonious. The streets had fewer sinister people, and even the constables on patrol were much gentler.

Shu Yu sat in the mule carriage, observing the streets outside.

Just as Madam Ruan had said, after the temperature dropped, the type of quick-cooling snacks sold by the Lu family saw fewer stalls.

It was even quieter than their last visit.

The old lady also leaned over to look, “Now that it’s cold, everyone is reluctant to come out. But wait a few days, and even if it’s colder, the streets will become lively again.”

Shu Yu didn’t react at first, “Why?”

Daya smiled, “Yu, have you forgotten what day it is? In a few days, it will be Laba Festival. By then, every household will need to prepare for the New Year, and the street will become a daily marketplace.”

Stunned, Shu Yu slapped her forehead, “Right, I almost forgot.”

Speaking of which, this was her second New Year in this world. The last one was spent at the Shu family. It was lively at the Shu family’s, but it lacked a sense of human warmth, and the New Year celebrations weren’t very meaningful, especially since she was just an unnoticed Third Sister back at the mansion.

She had initially thought she would have to spend this year alone, cold and lonely, but unexpectedly, the Lu family members were all by her side, which suddenly made her quite anticipatory.

During the New Year, even the criminals in Righteous Dao Village were allowed holidays.

Shu Yu couldn’t help but smile, “I wonder what the New Year in Heichang County is like.”

“It’s definitely different from our place,” the old lady was quite interested, “I’m also curious. Oh right, Yu, weren’t you going to the courier station today to see Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady? You can ask them about their New Year plans, whether they can come to the county town. If they can come, just invite them to join us at our home for the festivities. All of us are away from our hometown, and we don’t really have relatives in Heichang County, so we might as well treat each other like family.”

Shu Yu nodded, “Okay, I’ll ask them.”

With the sudden drop in temperature, Shu Yu also wanted to see how Madam Hou and the others were doing.

Although going to the courier station meant getting away from the Shu family and lighter work, it also meant being far from familiar people. At the station, it was only her and her daughter, with no one to discuss matters with and no way to leave to find others.

Shu Yu rarely got out, and after taking her leave, she could head back in the afternoon the next day.

The old lady added, “If Madam Hou and her daughter can’t come to the county town, then once we’ve bought our New Year goods, we should also send them a portion.” It wasn’t much, just a gesture of goodwill to add to the festive spirit.
