After hearing what he said, Shu Yu was even more shocked. This dish was freshly cooked. It was still warm and fresh.
So…
“My Grandmother the others are here too?”
No way! Could it be that the entire Lu family knew about her and followed her here?
Lu Erbai nodded. “They’re all worried. Ever since they found out that you were exiled, they’ve cried quite a few times. Lord Xiang has repeatedly assured us that you’re fine, but this is exile. How can we be at ease and say that you’re fine? Fourteen years ago, we lost you. Although you didn’t say it, we know that you must have been living a bad life. Even if the Shu family was originally the magistrate’s family, they must have treated you badly.”
They all knew that if she was doing well and was the proper daughter of the magistrate, then there should be someone serving her by her side.
At the very least, she would not have become so independent and strong. She would not know how to cook, would not have adapted to their dilapidated house, and would not have ever mentioned the magistrate’s parents.
Although they hadn’t spent much time with Yu, Yu accepted them very quickly. They didn’t do anything and even wanted her to help them. They only did their best to treat her well. Even if this kindness was limited, Yu was especially tolerant and considerate of them because of this little warmth.
This meant that she had never had this kind of relationship before, which was why she accepted them so quickly.
They were clearly in the magistrate’s house, but they were not doing well. Just thinking about it made them feel uncomfortable.
“Yu, this time, no matter what, we will not let you go to such a far place alone, and you still have to face so many people from the Shu family who bullied you. We’ve asked around and found out that those exiled to the Southwest have to do labor and have little freedom. They can’t open shops or buy land. But we can. When we get there, we’ll open the shop.”
They might not necessarily open a clothing store. After all, the southwest was remote and poor. A clothing store like Jiangyuan County was not suitable.
But Lu Erbai could do carpentry, so they opened a carpenter shop.
Madam Ruan also had income from sewing clothes. The makeup skills that Daya had learned from Yu would also be used to make makeup for the girls in the southwest who were about to get married. There would be a portion of the salary.
At that time, the old lady and the two children could continue to sew doll covers. Although they did not know if anyone would buy them, they still had to give it a try.
At the very least, he could open a small food stall.
Jiangyuan County had quite a few specialties that the people of the southwest might not have eaten before.
At that time, if Yu was tired or needed them, he would come back to rest. He would not be alone and helpless.
As Shu Yu listened, her eyes became a little hot. She knew that her life in the Southwest would not be bad. It was not to the extent of doing hard labor every day. But she was used to being alone. No one had ever told her Yu, don’t worry. When you’re tired, come back and rest. Everyone at home is waiting for you. They’ll dry your blanket and make hot food for you. They’ll clean up the room and let you sleep in peace.
Shu Yu slowly took a deep breath. She wanted to persuade them to return to Jiangyuan County, but she could not say it no matter what.
She knew that even if she said it, her father would not do it.
She smiled. “Alright, then when we reach the southwest, I’ll have to rely on you guys to support me.”
