Chapter 169: Renting a House
Of course, Shu Yu also wondered if Ding Yuehua from the Ding family would come looking for her if everything was fine.
With Da Ya looking after the shop, she didn't have to constantly think about it.
Da Ya agreed and stayed to take care of the shop. Once Shu Yu left, Da Ya looked around, fetched water, and wiped everything inside and out.
She was an energetic person who couldn't sit still, especially with the imminent opening of the shop. She felt a surge of excitement and had an endless supply of energy.
Meanwhile, Shu Yu, who was familiar with the route, made her way to the Meng family's house. Just as she was about to knock on the door, it swung open from the inside.
Seeing the same scene as yesterday, Shu Yu instinctively took a step back and cautiously observed the scene inside the courtyard.
Then she caught sight of Meng Yunzheng's surprised gaze.
Shu Yu cleared her throat and said, "Good morning, Mr. Meng."
Meng Yunzheng nodded in acknowledgment and turned to lock the courtyard gate silently. He then spoke softly, "Let's go."
Shu Yu asked, "Are we going to look for a house right now?"
Couldn't he invite her in for a glass of water and discuss nearby rental options?
Meng Yunzheng nodded and started walking ahead without inviting her in.
Shu Yu hurriedly caught up with him.
Meng Yunzheng was indeed familiar with the area and knew which houses were available for rent. After Shu Yu explained her basic requirements, he straightforwardly took her to a house located about ten houses away from the Meng family.
The courtyard of this house was not very large, but it was sufficient for growing vegetables and raising a few chickens. There were three rooms, and next to the east wing was a small study that could accommodate an extra bed.
Shu Yu looked around and was satisfied. As for the price, it wasn't expensive for this location, costing 260 wen per month.
There were cheaper options in other areas, but Shu Yu still preferred a quieter and safer environment nearby, especially considering its proximity to the clothing store.
She quickly arranged the rental matters and, concerned about her family's arrival in the county, didn't delay any further. After bidding farewell to Meng Yunzheng, she went straight back.
She never set foot inside the Meng family's house from start to finish.
So Shu Yu was unaware that, apart from Doctor Zhao recovering from his injuries at home, there was another person in the Meng family.
Hearing the sound of the courtyard gate opening, Xiang Weinan turned slightly, with a smile that was not quite a smile. "Is that the girl whom Zhao Xi said you painted dozens of paintings for her but only received one or two taels of silver?"
Meng Yunzheng couldn't be bothered to look at him and went straight to the bedside to check on Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi's injuries weren't a big issue. He was a doctor himself and had the best medicine at his disposal. Despite losing a lot of blood yesterday, he was already in high spirits, happily gnawing on a chicken leg today.
Xiang Weinan asked again, "Do you know why she went from Miss Shu's family to becoming a farmer's daughter?"
Meng Yunzheng nodded this time. He had found out yesterday that after the Shu family had hired a fake to impersonate the third young miss, she had told him about how she had been sold to Aunt Xue by Granny Ruan when she was a child, and later the Shu family's attempt to silence her.
Even if she hadn't told him, Meng Yunzheng would have guessed to some extent. After all, old lady Ruan's act of kidnapping and selling her own granddaughter was not a secret in this area.
He just hadn't expected that the Shu family had imprisoned her, only to have her escape.
Seeing him nod, Xiang Weinan immediately perked up his ears, waiting for further information.
However... there was no more information. Meng Yunzheng had no intention of continuing the conversation at all.
This infuriated Xiang Weinan, who jumped up in frustration. "You pretend to be mute when you're not really mute, and now you're not saying a word for real? Fine, I'm leaving."
He took a few steps but couldn't let it go. Turning back, he said, "Jiangyuan County is now under our control, and the next step is to deal with the Shu family."

Hm, I wonder what MYZ’s really identity is.. also he spoke to the MC! His voice is back! From what his friend said, it seems like he was just pretending to be mute? Thank you for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteI think Myz is an assasin
ReplyDeleteHe's always had his voice he and the doctor are just pretending for whatever reason, but I'm guessing he's either a prince or marquis either way he's sufficiently power that at some point when mc is in trouble either with someone trying to bring her down or some guy trying to get her to marry him he'll step in and that's the moment she'll fall in love or such, cuz he was always a big player and looked after her and such.
ReplyDeleteNice to see she got a good house, let's see this shop do good and that they can leave in peace, we'll also leave behind that annoying fucking third uncle, he's been helpful but he stresses me out with how much of a leech he is, hopefully he doesnt cause trouble.
