Chapter 321: Shu Yu's Worries
Chapter 321: Shu Yu's Worries Shu Yu was taken aback as she saw the old lady stuffing two broken pieces of silver into her hand. "Grandmother?" The old lady said, "Ah Yu, give this to that official gentleman and ask him for help. Tell him to take good care of your fourth aunt and provide her with better food and more attention." Shu Yu stared blankly at the broken pieces of silver in her hand. Before Shu Yu returned, the old lady only had about two or three hundred wen (a unit of currency) in her possession. Although they made some money after opening the shop, apart from the ten taels of silver in the public account that the old lady controlled, she hadn't taken a single wen. She felt that she didn't need to spend money on anything in her daily life as long as there was enough food and drink at home. However, Shu Yu would occasionally find excuses to give her some personal silver, which she would accept. When her grandchildren came over, the old lady would buy some snacks to share with them, making the children happy. Later, Ruan Shi and Da Ya also gave her some money, and a few days ago, the third son gave her two taels of retirement money. So now the old lady had about five or six taels of silver. But now she had taken half of it out and stuffed it into Shu Yu's hand. Shu Yu chuckled but didn't refuse. She accepted it so that the old lady could feel at ease. Besides, she could always find an excuse to return it later. However, Shu Yu had already given a few taels of silver to Hu Li earlier, and she had already explained what the old lady had said. "Grandma, don't worry, I understand." Shu Yu turned around and said a few words to Hu Li. The group of people continued until they reached the entrance of the county yamen before stopping. Lu Dasong and others who were waiting outside immediately came forward. Some anxious villagers from Daxu Village asked Chen Village Chief, "Village Chief, did you meet the Yuan family? Are they alright?" Chen Village Chief waved his hand and said, "Don't block the way here, let's go back and talk." After they were far away from the county yamen, Chen Village Chief turned to the old lady and said, "Sister Lu, we will go back to the village first. Thank you for your concern about the Yuan Shanchuan. If we have any news, we'll inform each other. We'll also try our best to find Yuan Shanchuan." The old lady nodded, and both parties soon went their separate ways. Shu Yu and her group then walked towards Liufang Lane. Lu Dasong asked about Lu Sixing's situation and learned that she was fine, not imprisoned in the dungeon, which relieved them. Reputation was still important in these times, especially for women. If a woman had been in the dungeon, many people would consider her unclean. However, Lord Xiang had promised Shu Yu that they would temporarily detain the person at the county yamen and not send them to the dungeon. While chatting, they arrived home. As soon as the old lady entered, she asked for Quan Quan's situation. The child had taken his medicine and fallen asleep. Ruan Shi sat by the child's side, sewing doll clothes while occasionally checking on his condition. For now, everything seemed fine. He hadn't had diarrhea again, but his sleep was not very peaceful. As long as he was okay, everyone felt relieved. They had been busy for a while and hadn't even eaten lunch. Liang Shi helped prepare noodles, and after hastily filling their stomachs, they finally sat down to rest and discuss matters quietly. The key issue now was Yuan Shanchuan. However, it seemed like he had disappeared into thin air, and they had no idea where he had gone. Shu Yu was unfamiliar with this place, and it wasn't like modern times where there were surveillance cameras everywhere. It was not easy to find a person. For now, they could only hope for assistance from the government. What Shu Yu was most worried about now was whether Yuan Shanchuan was still alive.
