Meng Yunzheng explained, “They came to Heichang County mainly for you.”
Therefore, they couldn’t earn money and live a good life in the county town without being able to help the tired Shu Yu.
The Lu family had planned from the very beginning that Lu Erbai, Madam Ruan, and Daya would work hard in the county town to earn money to support their families.
Old Lady, Dahu, and Sanya came to take care of Shu Yu. They didn’t need to do much. As long as Shu Yu was busy for the whole day, she would have warm food to eat, a clean and warm room to sleep in, someone to talk to, and a family to accompany her. It wouldn’t be too lonely.
The old lady and the other two could do this.
After Shu Yu heard this, she did not say anything for a long time.
After a while, she frowned and said, “But this is the Righteous Road Village.
Most of the people living here are criminals. It’s not safe for me to
Grandmother the three of them. They’re either old or young.”
“That’s why I asked Zhao Xi to stay. He’s now your elder brother, Daniu.”
Shu Yu was speechless. Huh? How could this work?
She didn’t need to think to know what kind of constipated expression Zhao Xi would show. She couldn’t help but want to laugh. “That’s hard on him.”
“No, I have things to do. Although his medical skills are brilliant, his martial arts are mediocre. If he follows me, he might be a burden.” Meng Yunzheng came to the southwest to look after Shu Yu and also to find the Dongqing Temple.
To be honest, with Zhao Xi’s three-legged cat skills, Shu Yu could easily beat him.
In the southwest, Meng Yunzheng also had people. They were the ones who had come to find the Dongqing Temple before but had no clues. Thus, he wasn’t fighting alone. He left Zhao Xi here. Firstly, he could help take care of Shu Yu. Secondly, Zhao Xi was willing to do so.
There were many mountains and forests here, and there were also many medicinal herbs. Zhao Xi could just find some uncommon medicinal herbs.
With Meng Yunzhengs explanation, Shu Yu was relieved, but there was still one problem.
Then what identity does my Grandmother have to come to Righteous Dao Village and take care of me?”
In the eyes of the Shu family, they had yet to acknowledge their relatives.
Meng Yunzheng smiled. “You’ll know in two days.”
Shu Yu was surprised. It seemed that they had thought of a way.
However…
She thought for a moment. “Everything else is fine, but there’s an officer called Master Lan in the Righteous Dao Village. He seems to have his eyes on me, but I don’t know what his motive is. If my Grandmother comes over and wants to take care of me, I’m afraid she’ll be put in a difficult position.” Meng Yunzhengs expression turned serious. “Is he eyeing you?”
“Well, I can’t put my finger on it. I just feel like he wants me to change my job, like a brothel.’
Meng Yunzhengs lips tightened. “I understand. I’ll investigate this matter properly.”
It was getting late. Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady were still waiting for Shu Yu to return.
The two of them did not say anything else and parted ways.
Shu Yu picked up some dry firewood along the way and some wild vegetables and fruits. She returned home before the sky completely darkened.
Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady immediately got busy.
Shu Yu had already eaten, but in order not to attract attention, she still ate some sweet potatoes and gave the rest to Madam Hou and her daughter.
The two of them were a little surprised and wanted to persuade her to eat more, but Shu Yu refused firmly, so the two of them didn’t say anything more.
There wasn’t much food, but because Shu Yu hadn’t eaten, Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady ate half to their fill and then put the rest away. After all, they might not be able to get so much food tomorrow, so they had to save up..
