Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl-Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Madam Liang nodded, “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll go later.”

Such a big bowl of good food was indeed too little.

She hadn’t expected that just as she finished speaking, Lu Sanzhu, who was slurping on his noodles, looked up, swallowed two pieces of meat, and said, “Don’t go.”

“Why? Don’t worry, I’ll go with Dabao this time. He’s a child. Second sister-in-law can’t possibly reject him.”

Lu Sanzhu sighed, “It’s fine if it’s just our second sister-in-law, but now there’s Erya…”

He clicked his tongue and shook his head, “Forget it.”

“Is Erya very hard to deal with?”

“Very hard doesn’t even cover it,” Lu Sanzhu fell silent for a moment before continuing, “I’m afraid second brother’s family will have better days in the future.”

He said with a sigh, “We’d better not offend Erya in the future, understand?”

He pointed at the bowl of noodles in front of him, “Even these noodles didn’t come for free.”

Madam Liang didn’t think much of it. She knew that Erya was a martial arts practitioner, but she was an elder, and Dabao was still a child. How could the other party do anything to them?

However, Third Lu was the lord of the family and they always listened to him. Since he had already said so, Madam Liang naturally couldn’t do anything more. She could only unwillingly give one-third of her bowl of noodles to her son.

After dinner, the sky darkened. The basin of noodles in the Lu family was finally finished.

Madam Ruan and the others had a rare full meal and were so stuffed that they needed some time to digest it. This was the first time they had such an experience.

Madam Ruan didn’t let Shu Yu do the rest of the work. She, Dahu, and Sanya finished the chores of washing the pots and bowls, feeding the chickens, and other courtyard matters.

Shu Yu returned to the house and took the opportunity to take out her money bag and start counting the money.

Back when she left the Shu family, she didn’t take a single cent from them. Most of the Shu family’s money wasn’t clean, and the Shu family’s Head Master was very greedy with money. When the Shu family was exiled three months later, these accounts would be checked by the investigating officials.

Although Shu Yu knew that she couldn’t escape the fate of being exiled, she didn’t want to be charged with another crime when the accounts were audited.

She wanted to get out of the matter immediately after being exiled. The more trouble she could avoid, the better. Besides, it was just troublesome and worrying to take the Shu family’s money.

As such, when she left the city, she only had the sixty taels of silver that she had earned.

60 taels of silver. Lu Erbai’s treatment of his leg would cost at least 15 taels.

Shu Yu put aside twenty taels of silver just in case.

Apart from that, a part of the rest of the money she had used to pay for her journey from the prefecture. She had used one tael and a half to rent a cart.

After that, she bought meat and sweets when coming to visit, as well as today’s rice, flour, oil, and other things. In addition to the cost of her meals outside, she had spent another 500 coins.

Therefore, she only had 38 taels of silver left.

38 taels of silver was a huge sum to the villagers of Shangshi Village. The savings of many families here probably weren’t even half of the number.

However, to Shu Yu, it was still too little. After all, there were many things that she needed the money for. It seemed that the most important thing was to earn money as soon as possible.

Just as she was pondering, there was a knock on the door.

Shu Yu put the silver away and got up to open the door.

Then, she saw Madam Ruan walk in with a needle and thread. The latter smiled and said to her, “I saw that the hem of your clothes was torn. Let me help you fix it.”

Shu Yu was stunned and looked down at her dress.

The hem of her dress was indeed torn. It was accidentally torn by a wooden thorn when she had been confronting Old Lady Ruan and the girl.
