The combined horse and mule carriages of the Shu Yu's family amounted to three, and adding the Meng family's and Zhao Xi's, the five carriages nearly surrounded the entire Lu family.
Today, the families of Daniu, Cuihua, and others like Lanhua and Erniu did not return to the county town.
Thus, the carriage was spacious, and when it was time to depart, Shu Yu noticed the three Zhou sisters squeezed into their narrow mule carriage with difficulty, so she invited them to join her in her carriage.
The three young girls were overjoyed. Although they were slightly reserved, Shu Yu's carriage was exceedingly comfortable to sit in.
The Zhou family's He'er Village was located right between the county town and Shangshi Village; Shu Yu initially planned to drop them home and then leave.
However, Father Zhou felt that since it was rare for their in-laws to visit, they must at least have a cup of tea before departing, otherwise, it would seem improper.
