Chapter 102: Meng Yunzheng Talks about Asking for Directions

Meng Yunzheng's face showed a look of confusion.

Shu Yu pointed in the direction where Zhang Shu had left. "That's the man just now."

Meng Yunzheng suddenly realized and then shook his head with a smile.

He habitually raised his smile, but immediately remembered what Shu Yu had said before. She mentioned that his smile... seemed a bit fake.

So Meng Yunzheng immediately suppressed his smile, opened his mouth, and silently mouthed two words.

Shu Yu couldn't hear the sound, but he said two words, and his lip movements were clear. She understood immediately, "Asking for directions? Are you saying that he asked you for directions?"

Meng Yunzheng shook his head.

Shu Yu asked, "He asked you for directions?"

Meng Yunzheng nodded.

Shu Yu furrowed her brow suddenly, "He's a local here and should be very familiar with this county town. Why would he come to you for directions?"

She had heard from the old lady that Zhang Shu would take on odd jobs in the county town during the agricultural slack season. He was able to find work every time because of his hard work and low profile. Even if others encountered problems, he could still earn his wages.

When they married off Da Ya to him, this was a significant plus point.

Both the old lady and Lu Erbai of the Lu family thought that Zhang Shu was honest, hardworking, and could earn money, while Da Ya was gentle, virtuous, and could manage the household well. If the couple worked hard together, they would definitely lead a prosperous life.

Who would have known that Da Ya's life in the Zhang family would become so difficult?

Why would someone who worked odd jobs in the county town every year need to ask for directions? And why would he ask someone who isn't a local?

Shu Yu found Zhang Shu very strange.

As she was pondering, a hand suddenly reached out in front of her and waved.

Shu Yu looked up and met Meng Yunzheng's perplexed gaze. She smiled and asked, "Why is Young Master Meng here? Where is Doctor Zhao?"

Meng Yunzheng pointed towards where he lived, and Shu Yu understood. She didn't know what to say to him at that moment.

Meng Yunzheng couldn't speak now and couldn't have a conversation. Even if he made gestures, Shu Yu could only guess to a certain extent.

In the end, all she could say was, "Um, I've opened a ready-to-wear shop on Ning Shui Street. As I've said before, if Young Master Meng needs any help, you can come find me there."

Meng Yunzheng nodded and then turned around and walked away.

Shu Yu watched his figure gradually disappear into the distance and sighed heavily after a long while.

Look, look, such a handsome young master, why can't he speak? It's such a pity.

Shaking her head, Shu Yu walked back to her shop with her hands behind her back.

Da Niu had already tidied everything up and happily greeted her when she returned. "Ah Yu, Uncle Zheng will start working tomorrow. Let me help too, so we can finish the work quickly and open the shop early."

"Sure, from now on, I'll rely on you, Big brother Niu."

Da Niu didn't feel troubled at all. He was even excited.

Although this wasn't his own shop, it was his second uncle's shop. He was eager to personally participate in the renovation of the shop and see it gradually improve.

"I'll bring the clothes over tomorrow and stay in the small room at the back. It'll be convenient."

The bedding in the small room had already been thrown away by Housekeeper Yu, but the bed frame was still there. Da Niu had just cleaned it up, and it would be enough to lay a straw mat and sleep on it.

Shu Yu didn't quite agree, but she didn't persuade him either. Whether Da Niu could move in depended on whether Li Shi was willing. If she wasn't, Da Niu might not even be able to come to the county town.
