Chapter 660: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Shu Yu shook her head and chuckled, "Why should I go to the relay station with you? Here, at least I can live with my grandmother. But if I go to the relay station, there are hardly any people for miles around. My grandmother can't possibly move there and build a house."
"Then you can try asking the official if you can be transferred to the county town. Your parents are there, right?"
Go to the county town? Shu Yu naturally wanted to go, as everything would be more convenient in the county town. However...
"It's not the right time yet."
Hou Shi was puzzled, "Not the right time?"
Shu Yu didn't explain further. The county magistrate of Heichang County was not a good person. He was greedy, lecherous, and cunning. If she went to the county town, she would still be a criminal, and she might end up working under that corrupt county magistrate. Being introduced by the magistrate made her stand out, and the county magistrate wouldn't ignore her.
With someone watching her every move, she wouldn't have any freedom. Moreover, it seemed that the county magistrate of Heichang County was about to be dealt with by the magistrate.
Shu Yu didn't want to get involved in this inexplicable political struggle. It was dangerous. So, it was better to stay in Zhengdao Village, where at least the village chief was "one of their own."
But for Hou Shi, there were still some concerns. "But what about your family..."
"The Shu family is no longer the same as before, and I'm not afraid of them. Why should I run away? Even when they were still the Zhangyan Prefecture Governor's family, they couldn't do as they pleased with me, let alone now. Although I didn't go to the county town, I've become one of the managers of this village. The Shu family will have to listen to me."
Hou Shi was taken aback and slapped her forehead, "Look at me, I almost forgot about that. You're right, it's not like before. Even if the Shu family has many people, they still have to behave in front of you. Perhaps they'll even have to please you."
Shu Yu imagined the Shu family trying to please her and couldn't help but shudder. She decided to let it go.
Hou Shi finally felt relieved. "Then take care of yourself. We're leaving now. I don't know when we'll meet again."
"You're leaving now?" Shu Yu frowned and shook her head. "It's already late, and if you follow the magistrate, he'll definitely stay at the county yamen tonight. I doubt he has time to arrange accommodations for you. How about this, we killed the big beast today, and we can rest tomorrow and the day after. I'm also planning to go to the county town. I have a mule cart, so I can take you there. You can stay at my place tonight."
Hou Shi and her daughter needed to go to the relay station, and it was the official's duty from Zheng Dao Village to escort them to the county town and handle their documents before sending them to the relay station.
The official was not willing to escort them at such a late hour, especially on foot. Moreover, when they arrived at the county yamen, the clerks might have already gone home, and it would take until tomorrow to sort out the files and complete the handover.
If they waited until tomorrow, Shu Yu could give them a ride, which would be more convenient.
After thinking it over,
Hou Yi-niang immediately agreed. "Alright, then we'll trouble you for one more night."
"What trouble? Let's celebrate tonight and fulfill our promises."
As they chatted, the official and the others had already finished preparing and were ready to set off.
