Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 16

Sanya leaned against Madam Ruan and said softly with her head down, “When I was waiting for brother outside, brother Dabao came over and said that third aunt went to the county to buy candy for him. I ignored him, but he came up to me. I couldn’t hold back and said that I had candy today too.”

What followed was the scene that Shu Yu had seen. The little fatty scolded Sanya smugly while showing off his candy and ended up throwing a huge tantrum.

The little fatty was, after all, the old lady’s grandson too, so Shu Yu still explained.

However, the old lady simply waved her hand, “It’s fine, it’s fine. If his father dares to come, I’ll handle it.”

She was obviously more concerned about Lu Erbai’s leg and hurriedly asked, “Miss Shu, is there any other way to treat Erbai’s leg? Is it really useless to apply ointment?”

Shu Yu shook her head, “Not only is it useless, but the ointment will even aggravate the injury. He fell again today, so it’s best to go see the doctor tomorrow. Dragging it on would make it worse.”

The old lady was very worried, “Alright, alright then. I’ll think of a way.”

Shu Yu knew that the Lu family was as poor as a church mouse. Let alone five taels of silver, they might not even be able to take out five coins.

Lu Erbai’s leg injury could not be delayed any longer.

She knew that one should not reveal one’s wealth, but after communicating with them just now, she had a better understanding of their personalities.

With that, she took out two pieces of silver and placed them on the table, “I’ll pay for Uncle Lu’s medical fees.”

The few people in the living room widened their eyes. Lu Erbai’s reaction was the strongest. He hurriedly pushed the money back, “No, this isn’t right. How can I take your money?”

The old lady wanted to say something, but when she saw her son like this, she ultimately sighed and turned her head away with red eyes.

However, Shu Yu’s tone was exceptionally firm, “Uncle Lu, you know that I won’t be at ease if you don’t accept the money. I won’t have the courage to face you anymore.”

Lu Erbai was stunned. He wanted to say that it wasn’t her fault that his leg had become like this. Back then, he had not paid attention and had left before he had fully recovered. However, he couldn’t say this in front of his mother. Otherwise, with his mother’s personality, she would definitely make Shu Yu take full responsibility.

So he finally clenched his fists and said in a low voice, “Then, just take it as we borrowed the money. When my leg recovers, I’ll work hard and return it to you.”

The old lady quickly nodded, “That’s right, that’s right. The most important thing now is to cure the leg injury. We’ll get through this difficult time as a family first, then think of ways to earn money.”

Madam Ruan nodded too. Even Sanya whispered, “I, I will also work in the fields and pick a lot of wild vegetables.”

Shu Yu didn’t decline. Whether they needed to return the money or not would be a matter they could discuss in the future. The most important thing right now was to treat Lu Erbai’s leg.

The old lady was relieved, probably because they had found a solution. She stood up and said, “Since we’re going to the county tomorrow, I’ll go to the village head’s house now and borrow the ox cart.”

Then, she told Madam Ruan, “Ruan, go on and prepare the food, and cook the meat too. Miss Shu must be hungry. Seeing that it’s getting late, I’m afraid that she won’t be able to leave today. Why don’t you rest here for the night? It’s just that our house is very run-down, and I’m afraid you won’t be used to it.”

“It’s fine. I’m just afraid of disturbing you.”

The old lady smiled so widely that her eyes were slits, “Of course not. It’s not a disturbance.”

Initially, the old lady had been reluctant to cook the pork and planned to eat it bit by bit in the future. It would be great if she could have some meat every day.

But Miss Shu was generous. She even lent money to treat her second son’s legs. How benevolent.
