Chapter 373: Shu Yu's Suggestion
Chapter 373: Shu Yu's Suggestion
Xiang Weinan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is your suggestion?" "Well, it seems like there is a shortage of manpower on your side. When my uncle disappeared and I came to report it to the officials, it seemed that they couldn't spare the time to search for him," Shu Yu said. Xiang Weinan nodded. The county yamen did indeed lack manpower. After the previous county magistrate fell from power, many of his corrupt subordinates were apprehended. While Xiang Weinan had brought a group of people with him, they were assigned to other tasks. Currently, the security patrols and other responsibilities in the county yamen were still being carried out by the original constables, but there weren't many of them left. "Are you suggesting...?" Xiang Weinan trailed off, his thoughts starting to take shape. Shu Yu smiled and continued, "When my uncle was working outside, he took on various odd jobs to earn money. After all, there wasn't a stable source of income, so he had to take on short-term work. Although he may not have the time to be an official, he is a strong and capable person with a lot of strength. Otherwise, that escort wouldn't have sought his help with transporting goods, right? Considering the current situation, you must have noticed that my uncle is a person of justice, courageous and meticulous. He could be a valuable assistant. Why not find him a job that is stable and beneficial to both him and you? This would serve as a reward for him, wouldn't it?" Xiang Weinan pondered for a moment. Yuan Shanchuan did seem like a good candidate. Seeing that Da Niu had approached them, Shu Yu decided not to elaborate further. She simply said, "Of course, this is just my suggestion. You need to carefully consider it yourself, and it's also necessary to seek my uncle's consent." After bidding farewell to Xiang Weinan, Shu Yu turned and met up with Da Niu. As they walked towards the guest room together, Shu Yu asked, "When you went back to fetch the mule cart, did Grandmother say anything?" Da Niu replied, "Grandmother had just left when I returned. There was only second Aunt at home. I told her it wasn't serious, and since she had to take care of the children, she didn't come with me." Shu Yu nodded, and they entered the room together. Yuan Shanchuan had recovered considerably by now. Xiang Weinan had instructed the kitchen to prepare a bowl of noodles for him, and at this moment, Lu Sixing was feeding him. Although Yuan Shanchuan had eaten quite a few snacks in the black market earlier, they could only fill his stomach temporarily. Noodles were better for digestion. Now that the crisis was over, he had relaxed, and he managed to finish more than half a bowl. The rest was eaten by Lu Sixing. After a short rest, the group prepared to leave. This time, Da Niu didn't ask Hu Li and the others for help. He carried Yuan Shanchuan on his back and left the guest room himself. Shu Yu glanced at the stone table in the courtyard, where only the tea cups and teapot remained. Xiang Weinan had already left. She withdrew her gaze and walked out of the county yamen with Lu Sixing. Placing Yuan Shanchuan carefully in the carriage, Shu Yu waved to Hu Li, who had seen them off. "Brother Hu, you can go back now. We're leaving." "Take care on your journey." The group headed towards Liufang Lane, and when the mule cart stopped, they were greeted by the anxious old lady. She didn't know when she had returned, but seeing their appearance, she must have heard about it from Ruan Shi. The curtain of the cart was opened, and the old lady eagerly asked, "How did it go? Ah? Are you all right?" "We're fine." Yuan Shanchuan smiled as he stepped down from the cart. He didn't make Daniu carry him this time. He was capable of walking these few steps on his own. The old lady let out a sigh of relief and expressed regret, "If I had known you were injured, I shouldn't have slapped you back then." Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!
