Chapter 659: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Shu Yu felt a bit regretful. She still believed in the importance of saving favors for critical moments, but it seemed that the official was unwilling to do so. He might even go back on his word later. Therefore, she could only furrow her brow and say, "But I can't think of a suitable reward at the moment. Why don't you decide what to give me? Whatever kind of reward it is, it will be your grace."
The official raised an eyebrow. This girl had a way with words. He tapped the table twice out of habit and asked, "Can you read?"
Shu Yu nodded, "Yes, I can."
Satisfied, the official continued, "I see that you are brave, resourceful, articulate, honest, kind, and literate. So here's what I'll do: I'll assign you a different task. Wang Changdong mentioned earlier that two officials left a couple of days ago, and the manpower in this village is insufficient. You can stay here and help with recording and distributing food. How about that?"
Originally, this task should have been assigned by the government, but those officials they sent probably didn't have much knowledge. Shu Yu seemed more capable compared to the poorly written records he had seen earlier. Besides, it was up to the governor to decide on such trivial matters.
At first, Shu Yu felt a bit embarrassed by the official's praise. She didn't realize she had so many good qualities. But when she heard what he said next, she was taken aback. He wanted her to be in charge of managing the village?
"Thank you, sir," she said.
If she didn't have to go hunting in the mountains anymore, her family wouldn't have to worry. She would also have more free time to focus on her own affairs. The official nodded, satisfied that she had no objections.
"It's getting late. I should be on my way," the Prefect said, preparing to leave. The others made way for him, and Wang Changdong quickly arranged for the transportation of the giant beast to the county.
The Prefect had no objections since the beast couldn't be handled at the village anyway. While everyone was busy with the beast, Hou Shi and her daughter hurriedly found Shu Yu and took the opportunity to bid farewell.
As they walked to a secluded corner, Hou Shi eagerly told Shu Yu about the arrival of the male members of the Shu family in Zhengdao Village.
"...As soon as they came back, they destroyed all the food I had saved. I used to have a glimmer of hope for second Master, but now I realize I was too naive," Hou Shi said.
Shu Yu was surprised. It was quite a coincidence that the Shu family had also arrived in Zhengdao Village today. With the addition of six male members and their families, the small courtyard would definitely become lively. However, Hou Shi seemed to have good luck.
"Now that we've left the Shu family, we don't have to see them again in the future," Shu Yu whispered. "Once you're at the post station, just focus on our work. Since the governor personally arranged for you to go, I don't think others will give you a hard time. If there's a chance in the future, it might be possible for you to leave behind your criminal identity."
Hou Shi nodded. "Yes, the work at the post station should be easier than here. But what about you? Although your relatives have recognized you, the Shu family will definitely seek revenge for the grievances they suffered before. Why didn't you mention leaving with us when the official asked you earlier?"
