Shu Yu picked up two bottles of wine. It was the same as last time. It was not eye-catching, and Hu Li liked it too.
When she was about to go and pay the bill, she realized that Lu Sanzhu had brought a few more bottles over.
Shu Yu frowned. “What are you doing?”
“Aren’t there a few people? We had to buy them all. We’ll bring the remaining bottles back. Your father and I will drink a few cups too.” He had a good plan.
Shu Yu smiled embarrassedly at Madam Deng. “Just these two bottles. I don’t want anything else.”
Lu Sanzhu’s eyes widened. Why was this person so ruthless?
Shu Yu walked out after buying the wine. Lu Sanzhu hurriedly followed her.
“Yu…’t
“Don’t call me. My father’s leg hasn’t recovered yet, so he can’t drink. You have to go to work tomorrow. If you don’t rest early today, you’ll be tired when you go to work. When the time comes, you’ll go back to Shangshi Village to continue farming. Also, Scholar Tang and the others are not allowed to drink in the county school. You gave the students a gift to thank them, but you gave them wine? How can you think of it?”
Lu Sanzhu was so choked up that he couldn’t say anything. He followed behind her, feeling wronged.
Shu Yu went to the bookstore on Ningshui Street and bought brush pens and pen holders for Scholar Tang and the others.
After buying the things, Shu Yu went to the county school with Lu Sanzhu.
Tang Wenqian usually lived in the county school and would only go back on holidays.
Shu Yu was a woman, so it was not convenient for her to give things away. She handed the brush and pen holder to Lu Sanzhu and asked him to call for help. She stood five meters away and waited.
It was class time, and they waited a while before Tang Wenqian and his classmate came out.
Tang Wenqian’s eyes were sharp. He spotted Shu Yu first and nodded at her before looking at Lu Sanzhu.
The latter stuffed the brush and pen holder into their hands without saying a word.
Tang Wenqian was shocked. “Uncle Lu, what are you doing?”
“You helped me yesterday, so of course I have to thank you. I’ve never been to school, so I don’t know if a pen and a pen stand are good or not. Anyway, I heard from the shopkeeper in the bookstore that they’re pretty good. Take it, or I’ll feel bad.”
It was rare for Tang Wenqian to be at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Even if he didn’t live in the village often, he knew what kind of person Lu Sanzhu was.
Would he feel bad? That would be a little funny.
Seeing Shu Yu eyeing him covetously at the side, it was obvious that he was being suppressed by this niece.
He didn’t want to accept it, and his classmates also refused.
Lu Sanzhu had said that scholars like them were too wishy-washy. Without another word, he stuffed the clothes he had borrowed yesterday into Tang Wenqian’s arms and ran away without looking back.
Tang Wenqian couldn’t catch up with him after taking a few steps. He could only look at the thing in his arms and shake his head with a smile.
Shu Yu caught up with Lu Sanzhu, and they went to the county office to look for Hu Li.
Hu Li came out quickly, but unlike the previous time Shu Yu saw him, his expression was a little solemn this time.
Shu Yu gave him wine, and he didn’t refuse. He accepted it.
Shu Yu was surprised. She had already thought of a way to make him accept it without any psychological burden, but she did not expect him to be so swift.
Could it be that he had already reported it to Lord Xiang last time, so it was no longer related?
However, Hu Li did keep the wine, but when he looked at Shu Yu, he wanted to say something but hesitated.
He wanted to say something a few times, but in the end, he suppressed it angrily.
Shu Yu saw that he was in a difficult position and wanted to say something, but Hu Li threw her a sentence. “If you have nothing to do, then, go back to the village to take a look.”
With that, he ran back to the county office..
