Chapter 782: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 782: A Taoist Nun Arrives
Shu Feng looked on with a mocking expression, his face full of disdain.
He had always wondered why his Second Uncle and Second Aunt sneaked out secretly. Now he understood. They wanted to find Hou Shi separately.
Why didn't they tell them? It was clear that they wanted to reap the benefits of finding Hou Shi for themselves.
Sure enough, Second Uncle wanted to make Shu's house his own and didn't care about the First Branch at all.
Shu Feng stood outside the door for a while before expressionlessly entering the house.
Shu Yu didn't even spare a glance for Second Master Shu. After returning home, she began helping Grandma pack her things.
After registering everyone the next day, she could go to the county town for the New Year's celebration.
The next day, after the team for clearing the fields went to work, Wang Changdong came over to give everyone red envelopes.
"It's New Year's Eve. It's been a hard year for everyone. The red envelopes aren't much, but they carry the joy."
Shu Yu also received one, and inside was one or two taels of silver, which was actually quite substantial.
Auntie Fang quietly approached and whispered beside her, "Wang Changdong gave me three taels."
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. So much?
Auntie Fang said in a low voice, "Quick, put it away. This money is from the paper-cuttings you made. I think Wang Changdong sold them for a high price. You deserve it."
Auntie Fang was overjoyed. With this money, she could buy more New Year goods in the afternoon. At least she could buy a few pieces of cloth for her daughter to dress better.
Because Fang Xiyue often went into the mountains, she needed more clothes.
After distributing the red envelopes, Wang Changdong also gave everyone rice and flour.
At noon, the kitchen in the village prepared several big dishes, making it a sumptuous meal.
Everyone ate the New Year's Eve dinner joyfully, looking forward to the good days of the coming year, and then it was time to disperse.
Shu Yu waited for the team that went to clear the fields and hunt to return before registering them one by one and paying New Year's greetings to a few families with good relationships.
She also prepared a few candies and gave them to the little boy, Xu Zhensheng, in a family of three.
During these days, Shu Yu often gave him some candies to satisfy his sweet tooth. The boy, who used to speak very little, had become friendlier with her, and he had also become friends with Da Hu.
As a friend, Da Hu used his pocket money to buy a bag of dried meat to give to Xu Zhensheng.
After the gifts were given, Shu Yu and Old Lady Lu sat in a mule cart and set off for the county town with a lot of stuff.
She was the first one from the village to leave, but since her tasks were completed, it didn't matter.
Wang Changdong's house was also in the county town, but as the overseer of the village, he couldn't leave temporarily. He had to wait until evening.
After Shu Yu left, he checked the situation in the village. Even though it was the Lunar New Year, there were still people guarding the village, but he diligently went through every room, locking the ones that were unlocked and closing the windows that were open.
After he finished all of this and was ready to wash his hands, someone knocked on the village gate.
Wang Changdong furrowed his brows. "Could it be that someone is causing trouble on New Year's Eve?"
He impatiently walked over and opened the gate, only to find a stranger standing outside.
No, it should be a Taoist nun.
Wang Changdong's face inexplicably turned solemn. "May I ask what you need? Are you the overseer of the village?"
"I, as a humble nun, would like to ask you something."
Wang Changdong looked skeptical. "What do you want to inquire about?"
"This is Zhengdao Village, right? Is there a girl named Shu Yu exiled here?"
