Shu Yu noticed that Liang Shi seemed quite happy, indicating that her life must be going well. It turned out that her third uncle had been promoted to a managerial position, and Liang Shi also made a decent profit from selling handmade doll covers.
"Hmm... Should I return some money?" Shu Yu pondered, touching her chin. As Liang Shi turned her head, she noticed Shu Yu lost in thought, so she quickly lowered her head and took a couple of steps back, trying to avoid drawing attention.
Shu Yu chuckled and walked around the courtyard wall.
However, as she entered the main hall, she was surprised to see the grandmother looking angry with an unpleasant expression on her face.
"What's wrong, grandma?" Shu Yu asked as she approached.
The grandmother wanted to speak upon seeing her but restrained herself when she noticed Liang Shi was following closely behind. This caused her to swallow her words.
Liang Shi caught this behavior and felt dissatisfied, saying, "Mother, why are you ignoring me? Is there something you can't let me know?"
The grandmother coldly snorted, "You shouldn't know anything, big-mouthed girl."
Liang Shi glared, "Mother, you're being unfair. I can keep a secret very well. Compared to my sister-in-law, I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly stopped, took a few steps forward, and smirked, "Mother, are you upset because of my sister-in-law?"
The grandmother denied with a stiff expression, "No, I'm not."
Liang Shi clicked her tongue twice, "Mother, you don't need to hide it from me. I just saw my sister-in-law. It's so late, and she won't be coming home tonight. Is she staying at Cui Hua's place? Has something happened to Cui Hua? No, Cui Hua is more independent; my sister-in-law can't control her. It must be Lan Hua, right? Yes, my sister-in-law is currently busy with two things: the child in the great son's wife's belly and Lan Hua's marriage."
grandmother Lu and Shu Yu: "..."
Truly, she's become smarter in these few days.
Shu Yu's expression remained unchanged, but grandmother Lu couldn't help but look surprised.
Liang Shi, seeing her reaction, knew she guessed correctly and felt pleased.
Everyone in the family was making progress, and she couldn't afford to stay naive. With the husband becoming a steward and the son studying, Bao Ya spent most of her time playing around Fenghuai Street, making her more clever.
If she remained clueless and couldn't even control her husband, she would end up abandoned in the future.
Her husband was right about something: "Think of danger in times of safety." Yes, that's the phrase.
Feeling more confident, Liang Shi sat beside the grandmother with a smile, "Mother, I guessed right, didn't I? Just tell me, even though I talk a lot, I can be discreet when it comes to important matters. If you tell me what's going on, maybe I can do something about my sister-in-law."
grandma Lu scoffed, "Deal with her? You really know how to choose your words."
Despite that, grandma Lu considered it because she often saw Liang Shi provoking Li Shi and getting her upset. She was tempted.
Liang Shi said, "Mother, if you don't want to tell me, I'll find my sister-in-law and ask her directly."
grandma Lu gave her a disdainful look, "Just behave yourself."
This implied she would tell her. Liang Shi immediately sat still.
grandma Lu turned to Shu Yu and said, "I had arranged a distant nephew of Master Yu for Lan Hua. I thought she would be satisfied with the match, so I told Li Shi about it. However, she not only disagreed but also accused me of meddling."
