Lu Sanzhu’s eyes widened. One could be beaten up just because of this?

He gulped, “Zhang Shu must have met such a person. After all, his matter has been made into such news.”

Shu Yu agreed, “Alright, this way, we won’t have to worry about Zhang Shu taking revenge on us.”

A blind, mute, and scandal-ridden person would probably find it difficult to even leave the house.

Moreover, Zhang Shu could no longer work part-time in this state. The Zhang family’s first and second branches were both selfish people. They would definitely not be willing to raise such a “sick” brother-in-law.

The good days of the Zhang family were yet to come.

After Lu Sanzhu finished talking about this big matter, he went out again. He still had to tell the others.

Shu Yu felt that her third uncle was truly a blabbermouth.

However, when the blabbermouth came back at night, he told them another big news.

“Mum, second brother, I’m here again. Let me tell you, the Zhang family is back.”

This time, Lu Erbai didn’t stop what he was doing. He had already completed two of the mannequins Yu had asked him to make, but it wasn’t enough. He had to hurry up.

He was already used to Lu Sanzhu making a fuss over nothing.

“You’re back?” He simply asked as he worked, “Was Zhang Shu cured?”

Lu Sanzhu shook his head vigorously, “He can’t be cured. I heard that Village Chief Yan of Dayan Village also went to the county. After all, someone had quietly barged into the Zhang family and even harmed Zhang Shu to this extent. Village Chief Yan planned to report it to the authorities and ask the constables to help investigate. Who knew that when they went to the county, they found out that Zhou Jian had his tongue cut out and his eyes blinded as well? The constable was already busy running around in circles in the Zhou family.”

“Zhou Jian?” Lu Erbai frowned, “The man with Zhang Shu?”

“Yes,” Lu Sanzhu nodded vigorously, “However, the constables have searched the entire Zhou family, inside and out, but they haven’t found any clues.”

Both of them ended up in the same state, which made the commoners who knew about it tremble with fear.

However, it was still alright. Most people felt that someone could not stand their homosexual fetishes, so they targeted them.

But with this, Shu Yu was now even more certain of who the culprit was.

The Zhang family’s matter was already in the past for the Lu family. Either way, Daya and Zhang Shu were no longer related, so they could just listen to it as someone else’s business.

Now, the Lu family was still busy with the opening of the shop. After Daya came back, the speed at which Madam Ruan made clothes became much faster.

There were already a few ready-to-wear clothes hanging in the room.

Shu Yu was very satisfied with the finished product, especially after she tried it herself. She was even more certain of Madam Ruan and Daya’s craftsmanship.

She also felt much more at ease about the situation on the opening day.

The next day, Shu Yu went to the county again.

Craftsman Zheng was already finishing up the work and would be handing the shop back tomorrow.

Shu Yu prepared the wages for Crafstman Zheng and put them aside. She also set aside the money he needed to buy things. Then, she looked at the remaining ten or so taels of silver and clutched her chest, feeling heartache.

Money was really being spent like flowing water. Look, after buying this and that, there was only this little left.

But even with this little bit of silver, Shu Yu still went out to buy some pastries and went to find Meng Yunzheng.

Meng Yunzheng didn’t find it strange at all when he saw Shu Yu come over. He calmly invited her in and poured her some water.

However, when he saw the pastries she brought, he frowned slightly.

Shu Yu followed his gaze and placed the pastries on the table. She smiled and said, “No matter what, you helped me. I still have to be grateful..”
