Chapter 233: Trouble for Miss Lu

 Chapter 233: Trouble for Miss Lu

Shu Yu stopped the old lady. "Mother, let me go. You rest at home." Leaving with Da Hu and San Ya, the two children had been in the county town for several days, but they rarely went out. They knew the adults were busy, so they didn't want to disturb them even if they wanted to go out and explore. Instead, they played and frolicked in the backyard of the shop. Especially San Ya, back when they were in Shishi Village, she didn't want to go out because of the scars on her face, and she didn't have many friends. Now that the scars had faded and were barely visible, the little girl wanted to go out more. Shu Yu knew they were sensible and was happy to take them out more, at least to familiarize themselves with the surroundings. San Ya was excited and held Shu Yu's hand, saying regretfully, "Zhao Cai also wanted to come out, but it's already hard enough for Second Sister to take care of the two of us. We can't bring Zhaocai along. I explained it to Zhao Cai properly, and it agreed not to go out." Shu Yu looked down at the little girl. Compared to their first meeting, San Ya now truly had a childlike quality. Her once thin and reddened face finally had some flesh, looking pink and tender. "So, how did you explain it to Zhao Cai?" Shu Yu asked. Da Hu ruthlessly exposed the truth from the side. "She just said a few words to explain, then put food in Zhao Cai's bowl and ran away." Shu Yu was taken aback, and San Ya had already pounced in front of Da Hu, reaching out to grab his face. "Brother, you're not allowed to speak." Shu Yu laughed heartily on the side. Oh, Da Hu, you really need to change your straightforward nature. The two siblings played and laughed together, and Shu Yu's attention was focused on them. As a result, she didn't notice several people passing by the entrance of the county government office, where a familiar figure brushed past them. That figure paused for a moment, turned back with a hint of suspicion, and muttered, "Did I just see Miss Lu?" But Shu Yu had turned a corner and was already out of sight. Hu Li had no choice but to retract his gaze and continue running towards the county government office. Xiang Weinan had just finished reading a case file, blinked his slightly sore eyes, and stood up to take a sip of tea. Just as he was about to sit back down, Hu Li rushed in hurriedly. Wei Nan paused and asked, "What's the matter?" Hu Li was out of breath from his haste, he quickly nodded and cleared his throat before saying, "Sir, Miss Lu is in trouble." Wei Nan raised an eyebrow. "You mean Shu Yu Lu?" "Yes, yes, yes! Sir, you won't believe what I overheard when I was out earlier." "Oh, do tell me." Wei Nan sat down in his chair and poured himself a cup of tea, sipping it slowly. Hu Li leaned forward and said, "Sir, remember yesterday when Miss Lu gave me a bottle of wine? I found it quite tasty. So just now, when I passed by that liquor store on my way back from outside the city, I thought of buying a couple of bottles. But when I entered the store, I didn't see anyone inside, so I went to the storage area to pick them myself." As he was crouched down looking at the barrels of wine, Jiang Yi and Deng Shi walked in from outside. Neither of them noticed that there was someone in their store, and they didn't see Hu Li crouched down. While they were chatting, they casually mentioned Third Young Jiang's interest in Shu Yu. Hu Li couldn't believe what he was hearing. He immediately stood up and asked for more details. Upon learning that Shu Yu was in trouble, he wasted no time and hurried back to the county government office. (End of this chapter)
