Chapter 819: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 819: She Is the Village Lord's Sister
Shu Yu chatted with the Xu family for a while before preparing to leave.
She had spent quite a long time at the manor, and Grandma was still waiting for her in the backyard. Moreover, her parents in the county didn't know the good news yet.
Shu Yu said to Wang Changdong, "I need to go to the county to tell my parents this good news. I'll trouble you with the registration matters tonight. I'll come back tomorrow to hand over with Xu Dali."
Wang Changdong was in a good mood and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, your parents don't know about this good news yet. You should hurry back and make them happy. The estate's duties can wait. It won't be too late for you to come when you're free."
Shu Yu then said to him, "I'll bring my grandmother back home. I'll temporarily leave the things given by the Emperor at the estate and bring them to the county together with the mule cart."
The official from the Ministry of Justice had brought not only the imperial edict but also the two hundred taels of gold, as well as jewelry and medicinal herbs.
Although the items didn't seem like much, they couldn't be easily carried away by just Shu Yu and Grandma alone.
Besides, she didn't plan to leave them here in Zhengdao Village, so she might as well bring everything to the county.
Wang Changdong nodded. "Alright, I'll keep an eye on the things for you."
In fact, no one would dare to steal the items given by the Emperor.
Shu Yu went to the backyard to find Grandma, who was chatting with Aunt Fang about her plans after leaving.
They had quite a few belongings at home, even though they had only been here for half a year. There were many household items to take care of.
They would take away what they could and give the rest to people they were on good terms with.
Fang Xiyue had a good relationship with Ah Yu, so Grandma asked her what she lacked and told her to come and take it tomorrow.
At this critical moment, Aunt Fang didn't bother to be polite anymore. She had just agreed on a time with Grandma when Shu Yu arrived.
"Grandma, let's go to the county."
Grandma bid farewell to Aunt Fang, and the two of them headed straight home, feeling relaxed.
There weren't many people gathered outside the estate anymore. After all, it had been quite some time, and everyone wanted to go home for dinner. There was also plenty of work to be done at home.
Shu Yu still had a basket of clothes in her hand as they deliberately took a secluded path with few people.
However, when they arrived at the doorstep, Grandma noticed that the lock on the courtyard gate was missing.
She became nervous all of a sudden. "I locked the courtyard before I left. Could it be that I'm getting old and forgot?"
Grandma turned her head to look at Shu Yu. "Could someone have broken into our house?"
Shu Yu found it amusing. "Impossible. At this critical moment, who dares to steal from our house?"
As if she had thought of something, her eyes lit up. "Could it be... that my parents have arrived?"
Grandma was startled, and they hurriedly pushed open the courtyard gate.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered, they saw the house bustling with activity. San Ya and Da Hu came running towards them. "Grandmother, Second Sister."
"Second Sister, Second Sister, they said you're the village lord now. How amazing!"
San Ya hugged Shu Yu's thigh, her eyes shining.
Zhao Xi explained to her what being a village lord meant, although she didn't fully understand it yet. But as long as she knew that even the magistrate had to be respectful, it was enough.
Shu Yu put the clothes basket on the ground and lifted San Ya up. "Yes, from now on, you're the village lord's sister."
San Ya was stunned. The village lord's sister? Her eyes brightened even more, and her body trembled with excitement. "Then, then I'm amazing too, right?"
