Chapter 668: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Shu Yu raised her gaze and looked at the imposing city gates, taking a deep breath.
"Do you think our parents will be happy to see me?"
They came here today, but no one mentioned that Shu Yu planned to give Lu Erbai and the others a surprise.
This was her second time in Heichang County. Last time when she passed through, she kept her head down the entire way and didn't get a good look at the place.
Being close to the border, Heichang County's city walls were much taller than those of Jiangyuan County. However, its economic development couldn't compare to Jiangyuan County, even though Jiangyuan County was not particularly affluent either.
Shu Yu sat at the front of the cart, driving it behind Ma Lu's mule cart. She looked around and murmured to herself.
Before long, the carts came to a stop at the gates of the county yamen.
Hou Shi and her daughter still had to handle some business with the official, so they had to temporarily stay here.
As they got off the mule cart, Shu Yu said, "You take care of your matters first. I'll go see my parents and come back to pick you up at the post station later."
Being helpful to others, she could go the extra mile. Since they still had some time to spare, it wasn't a problem to go back and forth to the post station.
Hou Shi hadn't said anything yet when the official who had come down from Ma Lu's cart spoke up cheerfully, "Alright, Miss Lu, you go back and have a good chat with your parents. No rush, we'll be waiting for you at the dumpling stall over there once we're done."
With him saying that, Hou Shi couldn't bring herself to refuse.
She smiled at Shu Yu and followed the official into the yamen.
As they left, Ma Lu bid farewell to Shu Yu with a cupped hand salute. "Miss Lu, we still have to hurry to the town, so we'll take our leave first. Goodbye."
"Safe travels."
Ma Lu's mule cart soon moved away, disappearing from sight. Only then did the old lady say, "Our rented house is closer from here. Let's go home first."
"Alright." Following the direction the old lady pointed, Shu Yu quickly turned the cart around and headed towards the Lu family's house.
The house they rented for the Lu family was relatively quiet, and the surroundings were pleasant. Although the yard was not large, it had an extra room compared to the one in Liufang Lane in Jiangyuan County.
The mule cart stopped at the entrance of the Lu family's house. The old lady got off the cart and saw the locked gate, feeling surprised. "It seems your father has also gone out."
Shu Yu turned her head and lifted Da Hu and San Ya out of the cart. Hearing that, she asked, "Do you have the key?"
"Fortunately, I have one." The old lady fumbled and pulled out the key.
Upon opening the gate and taking a look, Shu Yu's gaze was immediately drawn to a children's cart in the yard.
Was this the cart her father made? Although Shu Yu provided the design for the children's cart, she had never seen the finished product.
It was with this cart that Lu Erbai had negotiated a deal with the largest carpentry shop in Heichang County.
However, the cart could only be used on flat ground. The bumpy roads in Zhengdao Village made it impractical to bring the cart there, so they left it in the small yard here.
Clearly, they hadn't grown tired of it yet. As soon as they saw the cart, they ran up to it excitedly.
Da Hu put San Ya into the cart and pushed from behind, and they began circling around the yard.
"Second Sister, look, this is what Father made for us. It's so much fun!" San Ya exclaimed in excitement. "I can't handle the big mule, but I'm proficient with this small cart. Second Sister, come on, I'll take you for a spin."
