Shu Yu raised her hand and was about to knock on the door when she heard Xiang’s sigh from inside, “Xiangdi, you shouldn’t have gone head-on with them. Weren’t we just saying a few days ago that you have to change your personality? Why are you becoming more and more…”
Fu Xiangdi’s voice was crisp and her words were frank, “I think my personality is quite good. It’s been like this for more than ten years and I can’t change it. Besides, it’s only because I’m stronger now that no one dares to bully me. Just like that big sister from the Lu family. Mom, didn’t you say that she was quite good last time?
Xiang was instantly speechless. She had a soft personality, which was why she was bullied by her in-laws. It was her fault that her daughter had become like this.
The mother and daughter depended on each other and lived alone at the foot of the mountain. If they were not fierce, they would be eaten sooner or later.
Xiang’s personality could not be changed in a short time. Unexpectedly, Fu Xiangdi had unknowingly changed to support this family.
Shu Yu didn’t expect to hear her name again. Well, it seemed that in the eyes of the Ruan Family Village, her image was quite great.
Shu Yu was too embarra.s.sed to listen any further and quickly knocked on the door twice.
The voices in the courtyard instantly stopped, followed by Fu Xiangdi’s footsteps.
“They must have come back. I’ll go…”
She pulled the door open and looked up. The expected curses did not appear. Instead, Shu Yu’s smiling face appeared.
Fu Xiangdi was stunned, “You, you are…”
“I’m Lu Shuyu, the second daughter of Lu Erbai’s family in Shangshi Village.
I’m here to look for Aunt Xiang.”
Fu Xiangdi blinked and felt as if the person in front of her was not real.
It was only when Xiang walked out finding her daughter’s sudden silence strange that Fu Xiangdi suddenly came back to her senses. However, the latter did not know what to say for a moment.
Xiang didn’t know Shu Yu. During the Ruan family’s incident last time, many had gone to watch the show, and so did Fu Xiangdi. Xiang didn’t go. She only heard the whole matter from Fu Xiangdi.
Shu Yu smiled at Xiang and introduced herself again.
Fu Xiangdi nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, yes. She’s the big sister from the Lu family.”
After saying that, she quickly moved to the side, “Big Sister Lu, come in and have a seat.”
Shu Yu followed the mother and daughter into the house and started to size up the situation in the courtyard.
Just as Madam Ruan had said, the courtyard at the foot of the mountain was only rented to the mother and daughter because the village had no use for it. The house was very old, but it was cleaned up very well.
Many corners were filled with stones and mud as if they had been patched up many times.
The courtyard was not big, and there was only one room, but it was enough for two people.
Xiang led Shu Yu into the living room, and Fu Xiangdi quickly poured a gla.s.s of water.
Shu Yu thanked her and sat down at the side.
Xiang sized her up for a moment and couldn’t help but smile, “Good, good. I heard that you were back earlier and wanted to go for a visit. It’s just that I was quite busy and didn’t have the time. Your mother must be very happy that you’re back.”
“Yes, I’m happy to be home too.”
Xiang sat opposite her and was a little curious, “Are you here today because you heard about me from your mother?”
“Yes, my mother said that Aunt Xiang is very skilled in cutting cloth and making clothes. She also said that you taught her sewing in the past and can be considered as half her master.”
Xiang was stunned and waved her hands, “What that’s with being half her master? Your mother is spouting nonsense. The two of us were helping each other. Your mother has also taught me a lot of techniques.”
“Aunt Xiang, you’re too modest,” Shu Yu smiled, “However, I do want to know
how good Aunt Xiang’s sewing skills are.”
