Chapter 664: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Wang Changdong didn't continue asking, some things were not for him to know. All he needed to know was that Mr. Qi was once a high-ranking official in the capital city. Moreover, Wang Changdong had also sensed another layer of meaning from Shu Yu's words. Her reward from the Governor was a result of her capturing the big tiger.
In other words, Mr. Qi's repayment had not yet taken place, right?
Wang Changdong understood in his heart. Such debts of gratitude were meant to be repaid, and in the future, their paths would surely cross again. His attitude towards Shu Yu changed subtly. This young girl had limitless potential ahead of her.
With this in mind, his expression became even more friendly. "I see now. So, it was because of your good deeds that you received good rewards. It goes to show that one should always have good intentions in life, or else one will face retribution. Just look at that master Lan, who committed so many evil deeds and is now locked up in prison."
"Master Lan has been imprisoned?" Shu Yu turned her head.
"Indeed. He had several lives on his hands. That man truly deserves to die."
Shu Yu pondered for a moment. master Lans fate was tied to Meng Yunzheng, she had an intuition about it. But that man had brought about his own downfall; he deserved the retribution.
She looked at Wang Changdong, who was filled with animosity towards master Lan, and realized he deliberately mentioned it for her to hear. She immediately smiled and said, "Yes, he caused harm to so many people. It's all retribution."
The two of them discussed master Lan's matter for a while, and then Shu Yu said, "It seems there's quite a commotion outside. It should be the people from the wasteland returning. Sir, I think the manpower on the estate is scarce right now. Shall I start helping out today?"
A few people had been sent to transport the big tiger to the county town on behalf of the Governor, and they were likely to return tomorrow.
Wang Changdong quickly replied, "No need, no need. You've already had a tiring day catching the big tiger. How can I let you do more work? You should go back; your family must be worried about you."
Shu Yu had the same thought and didn't decline. She immediately agreed, "Then, thank you for your hard work, Sir."
"Hahaha, it's our duty. Take two days to rest, and come back to work the day after tomorrow. Your tasks are not easy; you can read and have knowledge, so it's only fair for you to take on more responsibilities. Occasionally, you'll also need to accompany us for procurement trips to the county town."
Shu Yu's eyes brightened slightly. Wang Changdong was intentionally letting her go to the county town to see her parents.
She appreciated his kindness.
Shu Yu nodded and said, "Then, I'll take my leave now."
The sky was already dimming, and Shu Yu walked out of the backyard. Hou Shi and Sixth Miss hurriedly approached her at the corner.
"What's wrong? Did the magistrate ask you to stay back for something?"
Shu Yu shook her head. "Nothing's wrong. Let's go back. I'm sure my grandmother is anxious by now."
Hou Shi nodded repeatedly, and the three of them didn't proceed to the front courtyard. They bid farewell to Wang Changdong and went out the back instead.
The front courtyard was filled with people returning from the wasteland, including the female members of the Shu family. They were all absent-minded because Hou Shi had been summoned by the prefect magistrate and hadn't returned. They didn't know where she had gone.
They wanted to inquire, but they didn't know who to ask. All they heard was that the prefect magistrate had already left Zhengdao Village.
When the Shu family returned home with their allocated rations, they discovered that all the male members of the family had already arrived.
Everyone was overjoyed and temporarily forgot about Hou Shi and her daughter, focusing instead on embracing their loved ones and lamenting their hardships.
