Shu Yu stopped her. ‘Grandma, I’ll go. You stay at home and rest.”
She brought Dahu and Sanya out. Although the two children had been in the county for a few days, they rarely went out. They knew that the adults were busy. Even if they wanted to go out and take a walk, they shouldn’t disturb them, so they only played in the backyard of the shop.
Especially Sanya. When she was in Shangshi Village, she didn’t want to go out because of the scar on her face and had few friends. Now that the scar was so faint that it could not be seen, the little girl wanted to go out and see more.
Shu Yu knew they were sensible and would bring them out more often. At the very least, they had to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment.
Sanya was a little excited. She held Shu Yu’s hand and said regretfully, “Maneki said he wanted to come out too, but Second Sister has to take care of us. It’s already tough. We can’t bring Maneki along. I explained it to Maneki, and it agreed not to go out.”
Shu Yu lowered her head and looked at the little girl. Compared to their first meeting, the current Sanya was genuinely childish.
The initially thin and red face finally had a fleshy feel, turning pink and tender.
“Then, how did you explain it to Maneki?”
Dahu mercilessly revealed the truth. “She said a few words to Maneki) put the food in the bowl and ran away.”
Shu Yu was stunned. Sanya had already pounced before Dahu and reached out to cover his mouth. “Brother, don’t say it.”
Shu Yu laughed loudly. Dahu had to be less straightforward.
The brother and sister were laughing and joking, and Shu Yu focused on the two of them.
Therefore, they didn’t notice that when they pa.s.sed by the entrance of the county office, a familiar figure walked past them.
The man stopped and turned around suspiciously. He muttered,” I think I saw Miss Lu just now?
However, Shu Yu had just turned a corner and could no longer be seen.
Hu Li could only withdraw his gaze and continue running into the county office.
Xiang Weinan had just finished reading a dossier. His eyes were a little sore as he blinked and got up to take a sip of tea.
Just as he was about to sit back down, he saw Hu Li rush in.
He paused and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Hu Li walked in a hurry and was panting slightly. He quickly nodded and gulped before saying, “Sir, Miss Lu is in trouble.”
Xiang Weinan lifted his eyebrows. “You mean Lu Shuyu?”
“Yes, yes, yes. Sir, you don’t know what I heard when I left just now.”
“Oh, tell me then.” Xiang Weinan sat on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea.
Hu Li leaned forward and said, “Sir, didn’t Miss Lu send me a bottle of wine yesterday? I think that wine is quite good. When I just returned from the city, I pa.s.sed by that wine shop, so I wanted to buy some wine to keep. I didn’t see anyone when I entered the shop, so I went to the cabinet to choose.”
As he was squatting on the ground and looking at the wine jar, Jiang Yi and Madam Deng walked in from outside the door.
They did not notice that someone had come to their shop or saw Hu Li squatting down. So, they did not avoid him when they were chatting. They talked about the fact that Third Young Master Jiang had his eyes on Shu Yu.
When Hu Li heard this, how could he be angry? He immediately got up and asked about the specific situation.
When he discovered that Lu Shuyu was in trouble, he returned to the county office without saying anything..
