As a result, County Princess Zhang managed to escape punishment.
However, she was still fined some silver, which was enough to frighten her.
In addition, Zhang Maolin was caned, and with his temperament, he would definitely blame County Princess Zhang for not protecting him. Their relationship was bound to suffer.
Moreover, news of this incident would likely spread quickly to the Dong'an Prefecture. Those who flattered County Princess Zhang would probably lose some of their "respect" for her.
The Lu family members felt relieved and suggested punishing Zhang Maolin severely for daring to have ideas about Shu Yu. It was nothing but wishful thinking.
Shu Yu was also happy, but her mind was preoccupied with Meng Yunzheng's situation, dampening her joy.
Even during dinner, she couldn't eat much.
The family noticed her worries, so they deliberately talked about other things to divert her attention.
The Lu family still had many members present, including the first and third branches, as well as the Fourth Sixing family. The Cui Hua family of three was also there.
Now that the housewarming feast was over, Lu Erbai planned to gather a team and start his carpentry and renovation business.
"I have already talked to Zheng-ge, as well as Wangsheng. We plan to open a shop. When there's work, we'll hire people to renovate houses. When there's no work, we'll do carpentry in the shop, making boxes, cabinets, and the like. Today, many people have looked at our wardrobe, and several of them have already approached me."
Lu Sanzhu quickly said, "Second Brother, you must renovate our house first. We also need to move in as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Shu Yu thought of what Ding Yuehua had said to her earlier. She raised her head. "Father Yuehua. She also bought a house in Fenghuai Street, but the original owner won't move out for another half month. When the house is vacant, Yuehua said she will invite you to renovate it."
Lu Erbai's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Yes, Young Master Fan should come and talk to you about the details."
Lu Erbai was very happy, and Lu Dasong laughed heartily, "It seems that before we even open the shop, business is already coming to Second Brother."
Li Shi glanced at him disdainfully. Why was he so happy? He wasn't the one earning the money.
Lu Dasong didn't notice his wife's expression, but Cui Hua did.
She hesitated for a moment and accidentally touched her son's hand. She took a deep breath and looked at Lu Erbai, "Second Uncle, can you bring Jin Hai into your renovation team?"
Lu Erbai was taken aback. "Jin Hai?"
He looked at Lai Jin Hai, and the latter exchanged a glance with Cui Hua. He stood up, a little nervous, and spoke, "Second Uncle, you know my family's situation. I occasionally find some temporary work in the town. I'm capable and won't slack off. If you need to hire someone, how about giving me a chance?"
Lu Erbai already had a favorable impression of Lai Jin Hai. He was a man of few words but diligent. When the big mansion was being renovated, he didn't rely on his connections to slack off, and he even worked harder to avoid gossip.
He knew about the situation of the Lai family. They relied on the eatery in town to make a living.
Before, it was manageable, but with the younger generation of the Lai family being born one after another, not only was there not enough space to live, but their food and drink also became tight.
Lu Erbai needed to assemble a team, and he wanted to find reliable people.
For the time being, the only people he could find were friends from Shishi Village, and Lai Jin Hai was indeed a good candidate.
"Alright, if you don't find it too hard, you can join."
