Shu Yu smiled. “It’s because the Shu family is too weak. The Shu family has already been defeated, but they still treat me as the third daughter of the Shu family who can be bullied at will. That’s the real reason why they don’t know their position.”
Madam Hou nodded when she heard this. “I think they still have a lot to suffer.’
“Ignore them. Let’s pack up and eat something first.”
Madam Hou immediately started to roll up her sleeves. “Alright, we’ll clean up the room now. However, it’s not a problem to clean up, but the food…” No, he didn’t.
She heard from the old woman who brought them here that after they finished a day’s work tomorrow, the Office would distribute food according to their work.
In other words, from now until tomorrow night, they had to think of their ways.
They either went out to look for food or worked the whole day on an empty stomach.
But if she didn’t eat, how could she have the strength to do anything? She probably wouldn’t be able to make much in a day, and she might not be able to exchange for much food. Then, they would not be able to eat their fill and continue to work. If this vicious cycle continued, how could a person withstand it?
Shu Yu was not worried about this. They came here to open up the wasteland. Although the fields were not very good, there were still mountains not far away.
Even if two-thirds of the prey they hunted had to be given to the government, they could still get some meat. There was no prey, and there were still mushrooms and wild vegetables on the mountain. They would not starve to death.
However, it was already very late today. It was very dangerous to go up the mountain, especially in a place where people were unfamiliar and there were many prisoners. Who knew what would happen to a woman who appeared alone in the mountain?
Shu Yu planned to cultivate a relationship with the neighbors. After all, neighbors needed to help each other.
So she said to Madam Hou, “l will think of a way. You guys clean up here first. Clean up the kitchen as well. I will go and find something to eat.”
Madam Hou hurriedly asked, “Do you want me to go with you?”
After saying that, she felt that something was wrong. If she left too, wouldn’t Sixth Miss be left alone at home to face the Shu family’s wolves and tigers?
Madam Hou immediately changed her words. “Why don’t you let Sixth Young
Lady go with you and see if she can help?”
Shu Yu waved her hand. “No need. I’ll be back soon.’
Since she insisted, Madam Hou naturally wouldn’t force her.
Only then did the three of them open the door and return to the courtyard. They saw that the Shu family had already regained their senses. They were either standing or sitting there, looking as if they had encountered a great disaster.
Seeing Shu Yu and the others come out, the Shu family members immediately looked at Shu Yu warily and subconsciously took two steps back.
Shu Yu snorted lightly and warned, “Behave yourselves. If you cause trouble again, I won’t show mercy.”
With that, she left the courtyard without even looking at them.
The Shu family was stunned. She, she left just like that? Where did she go?
The Second Mistress immediately turned around to look at Madam Hou. What else do you want?”
Madam Hou said, “l advise you not to keep calling me a s.l.u.t. Otherwise, you will be the one suffering.”
After saying that, she ignored them and pulled the sixth girl to the kitchen.
They had to clean up the kitchen first so that the food that Third Miss brought back could be used.
The Second Mistress was so angry that she almost pouted. ‘You, you…” B*tch, b*tch, all three of them were b*tches.
“Mother, don’t be angry.” The Fourth Young Lady clutched her leg and said fiercely, “Let’s just let them be smug for a few days..”
