Chapter 217: Good-for-Nothing

 Chapter 217: Good-for-Nothing

Grandma's eyes lit up slightly. If those two soldiers were easy to talk to, they could help investigate the route markers. If it was confirmed that Yuan Shanchuan hadn't left any clues to a faraway place, then the search range would be narrowed down to within a hundred miles. Seeing Grandma's peace of mind, Shu Yu didn't say much more. "So, is it decided then? It's getting late. Let's finish our meal and rest early." Grandma nodded, regaining some energy, and went to the kitchen with Shu Yu. Shu Yu accompanied her for the meal, watched her fall asleep, and then returned to her room to rest. Early the next morning, Grandma drove all the chickens in the yard into the chicken coop. She packed up the belongings that hadn't been taken away in a hurry and then got on the mule cart, ready to go to the county town. Just as she got on, Lu Sanzhu stumbled in from outside, looking like he hadn't slept. Grandma was taken aback and asked him, "Laosan, you didn't come back last night?" Lu Sanzhu yawned. "Yeah, isn't it? Mom told me to inquire about Fourth Sister's husband's news yesterday. I was too busy." Grandma Lu was quite surprised. Lazybones Lu Sanzhu actually put in so much effort because of a word she said. She got off the cart and walked up to him, patting his arm. "You've worked hard. Go back and rest." Lu Sanzhu nodded, caught a glimpse of Shu Yu from the corner of his eye, and suddenly swayed, looking like he was about to faint. "Mother, don't worry. I have many friends. I'll definitely get news soon." After saying that, he passed by Grandma, swaying, and walked up to Shu Yu. "Ah Yu, do you think Third Uncle has been losing weight recently? It's been really exhausting lately." Grandma: "...Good-for-nothing, he's not my son." Shu Yu chuckled and handed him a piece of meat. "Let Third Aunt make something delicious for you. Eat well and replenish yourself." Lu Sanzhu instantly perked up and ran back home with the meat, not even sparing a glance at Grandma. Grandma laughed in exasperation, pointing at his back and saying to Shu Yu, "That good-for-nothing, I shouldn't have expected too much from him." "Grandma, Third Uncle is like that. Don't mind him. Let's get on the cart and head back to the county town." Grandma took a deep breath, holding onto Shu Yu's hand, and got back on the cart. Shu Yu quickly urged the cart towards the county town. Knowing that Grandma was anxious, she didn't waste any time and drove a bit faster. As a result, when they encountered Tang Wenqian and Tang's mother on the road, she didn't stop this time. Tang Mu looked at the familiar mule cart from the Lu family as it passed by in a flash, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Did she not see us? You said their family was good yesterday, but they are so impolite. How can they be considered good?" Tang Wenqian looked at his mother with surprise. "Mother, people from other villages who ride ox carts into the city don't necessarily greet us either." Tang Mu was momentarily speechless. In fact, what Tang Wenqian said was quite polite. In the past, when villagers saw them, they would greet them. After all, Tang Wenqian was the only scholar in the village, and he had achieved this at a young age. It was something the Shishi Village took great pride in. However, when they greeted Tang Wenqian and Tang Mu, Tang Mu barely responded. As the mother of a scholar, Tang Mu had a somewhat arrogant attitude. Firstly, it was normal for her to be proud when she had such a successful son. Secondly, ever since Tang Wenqian became a scholar, many people tried to take advantage of him and asked for his help.
