Shu Yu was stunned. Could it be that Eldest Aunt didn't know that Da Niu and his wife had gone to the estate?
Li Shi really didn't know. After she finished speaking, she was about to walk inside. "That Da Niu's wife, she's really something. We've been here for half a day, and she won't come out. All she knows is how to be lazy."
The old lady reached out and stopped her. "That's enough. Da Niu's wife isn't here."
"Not here?" Li Shi immediately stopped in her tracks. "Then where did she go?"
"Da Niu and his wife went to the estate outside the city to grow sunflowers. They're living there now." The old lady looked at Li Shi and Lu Dasong with suspicion. "Don't you know about this?"
Li Shi was completely dumbfounded. Wha- What does that mean? Da Niu went back to farming again? What kind of farming? He was doing fine as the shopkeeper in the county town. Why did he have to go back to farming? Was he crazy?
Lu Dasong, feeling uneasy, said, "Da Niu mentioned this to me. It's just... I was busy, and at that time, Da Niu was still looking for a piece of land, so we weren't sure when he would go. I didn't mention it to the his mother."
After listening, Li Shi almost fainted. She suddenly turned around, grabbed Lu Dasong's hand, and gritted her teeth as she asked, "You knew? You knew that Da Niu and his wife went to farm?"
"Da Niu mentioned it the day he came back. That estate belongs to Ah Yu, and the land also belongs to Ah Yu. In fact, Da Niu..." Before Lu Dasong could finish, Li Shi let go of his hand, turned back around, and looked at Shu Yu.
Her expression momentarily stiffened. There was clearly a surge of anger about to burst forth, but facing Shu Yu's clear and calm gaze, she forcefully suppressed it.
After a while, she managed to force a twisted smile and said, "Ah, Ah Yu, Da Niu was doing well as the shopkeeper, right? Why did you let him go to some estate to farm? If he's not doing well somewhere, you can tell me, and I'll go and teach him a lesson. There's no need for him and his wife to go farming, right? Considering that she is your elder brother, why not let him come back and be the shopkeeper again? What do you think?"
Lu Dasong frowned and tugged at her, but Li Shi fiercely shook off his hand and continued to smile at Shu Yu.
Her smile was even more ugly than crying. Shu Yu trembled. "Now my elder sister is managing this shop. Most of the customers here are female, and Da Niu doesn't know much about clothing and dress. My elder sister is more suitable. As for the estate outside the city, Da Niu is more familiar with it and prefers that environment."
Li Shi: "..." What does it mean to prefer? Who would prefer to go farming? Many people long to leave the village and find a stable livelihood in the city. Even if it's just being a shop assistant, they can hold their heads high in the village.
Da Niu used to be the shopkeeper and earned a monthly salary of three or two taels of silver. Many people envied him but couldn't match him.
Moreover, in this county town, everything was convenient to buy, and the people they interacted with were all wealthy. After a few more years, he might even be able to open his own shop. It would be such a proud thing to return to Shishi Village then.
But now, he had gone to some unknown estate outside the city to farm?
Li Shi almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She felt that this wasn't Da Niu's intention at all. Shu Yu must have wanted to make room for Da Ya.
However, Shu Yu's status was different now, and she didn't dare to say these words aloud. She could only keep it to herself.
After holding it in for a while, her face turned red, and tears almost fell.
