Chapter 2043: Ruan Dalai's Home


The Ruan brothers almost couldn't catch their breath, but Shu Yu, satisfied, followed Ruan Chengchun and his wife.

Ruan Dalai's home wasn't very far, but it had a relatively large area. Ruan Dalai had mentioned before that their backyard used to serve as an oil pressing workshop, but it had been taken advantage of by the villagers until it couldn't operate anymore.

Ruan Dalai's family had struggled financially for a while, and their house had been spacious but quite old.

In recent years, things had improved. They had renovated the old house, though not extensively.

Later, Ruan Dalai had found work at the Lu family's workshop and had become responsible for oil pressing. With a raise in wages and the promise of performance bonuses at the end of the year, Ruan Dalai's family had started to live more comfortably, thanks to their hard work.

Over the past couple of years, they had saved quite a bit of money, and just last month, they had completely renovated their house.

So, Ruan Dalai's home now appeared quite new, with some parts even being brick and tile houses.

Currently, Ruan Dalai's family consisted of Ruan Chengchun and his wife, Ruan Dalai, Ruan Chengchun's younger brother, and his wife, who had a five or six-year-old daughter.

Since Ruan Dalai usually didn't stay at home, the number of people in Ruan's family was indeed limited.

After entering the house, Shu Yu looked around and found the environment pleasant, clean, and well-lit. She then said to Village Chief Ruan, who had brought her there, "I think this place is quite nice. I'll stay here tonight. Village Chief Ruan, you can go about your business."

"Alright, County Princess. You must be tired after coming here today. We won't disturb you," Village Chief Ruan said respectfully, then bowed and exited Ruan Dalai's house.

Once the courtyard gate was closed, Ruan Dalai's mother, Zhang Shi, spoke, "County Princess, please follow me. How about this room on the left? It's been recently renovated, and no one has stayed in it yet. I'll tidy it up for you."

"Thank you," Shu Yu replied without any objections. The room was quite spacious, well-lit, and not too close to the main living quarters, ensuring a quiet atmosphere.

Zhang Shi immediately got to work, while Shu Yu had Ying Xi bring down the groceries they had brought in the carriage.

The members of Ruan's family were a bit surprised. They hadn't expected her to bring her own supplies, as if she had... prepared in advance.

However, they didn't say anything. Zhang Shi and her daughter-in-law, Wang Shi, started preparing the room, and Ruan Chengchun and his younger brother, Ruan Chengqian, attended to Shu Yu.

Compared to the reserved Ruan Chengchun, Ruan Chengqian was much more outgoing.

Shu Yu noticed the young girl behind him looking at her curiously. She took a few pieces of candy from her pocket and offered them to the girl. The child looked at her father, who nodded, before carefully accepting the candies. She thanked Shu Yu and was then gently pushed away by Ruan Chengqian to find her mother.

Once the child had left, Shu Yu raised her head and said to them, "Let's find a suitable place to talk. I have some questions about Village Chief Ruan."

Questions?

The brothers were stunned for a moment, but after a brief pause, Ruan Chengqian cautiously asked, "Does County Princess mean..."

"I'm just tired of them constantly plotting against my mother. I want to teach them a lesson, so they stop eyeing my family for no reason," she said casually, not worried about this conversation getting out.

However, the next moment, Ruan Chengqian suddenly knelt down in front of Shu Yu with a 'thud.'
