Chapter 899: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 899: Da Ya's Friend
Da Ya didn't have many friends before. Although she had good relations with a few girls from the same village before she got married, her family had a lot of household chores to attend to, so she could only interact with them during festive occasions.
Over time, their relationships naturally grew distant.
Later on, everyone got married as they reached the appropriate age. They dispersed to different places, and their meetings became even rarer.
Moreover, Da Ya had hardly any opportunities to go out during her two years at the Zhang family. She rarely visited her natal family, let alone other people's homes.
Therefore, Da Ya was actually quite lonely. Besides her family, she didn't have anyone to talk to and confide in.
After experiencing the incident of Zhang Shu and Zhou Jian being caught in bed together, and being victims themselves, Da Ya and Wei Lan naturally became closer.
One was gentle, while the other had a lively personality. They complemented each other and became good friends.
This time, when Da Ya returned from the southwest, she naturally brought some local specialties for Wei Lan.
Although Shu Yu had met Wei Lan first, their relationship was not as close as Da Ya's.
Now that Da Ya had a good friend, a harmonious family, and Zhao Xi protecting her, her future would undoubtedly become better and better.
Shu Yu was also happy about this. She smiled, greeted her grandmother, and left the house with the gift box for Doctor Xu.
As she returned to the entrance of Liufang Lane, she saw Zhao Xi standing there, but Shopkeeper Qiu was nowhere to be seen.
When she saw him, Shu Yu thanked him. "Thank you."
Zhao Xi smiled and said, "No need. I heard some commotion and came to take a look. Ah Yun accompanied Da Hu to buy things, so there was no need for this hero to save the beauty."
Shu Yu was surprised. "Have you been keeping an eye on the entrance all this time?"
Zhao Xi coughed lightly. Why was she always so good at grasping the main point? "I saw Da Ya leave."
Shu Yu suddenly understood. "Oh, waiting for my sister, I see."
Zhao Xi turned and walked away, while Shu Yu chuckled softly. She was happy to see someone caring so much about her sister.
Without Shopkeeper Qiu blocking her way, Shu Yu's walk became smoother.
Doctor Xu's medical clinic was as quiet as ever, with hardly any customers, but it hadn't closed down due to its expensive fees.
When Shu Yu entered, she even noticed the newly renovated counter and medicine cabinet.
Hmm, not only did it not close down, but it seemed to have prospered. They even renovated the place?
"Ah, Lu, Lu, Village Lord Lu." The assistant's eyes widened in astonishment upon seeing her.
"I guess you also saw the notice at the city gate? Where is Doctor Xu?"
"He's in the backyard. I'll go get him." The assistant was about to run towards the back.
Shu Yu stopped him. "No need. I'll go find him myself."
Carrying the gift box, she was about to leave but hesitated and asked, "Does he have any patients at the moment?"
"No, none." Even if there were, they would have to entertain you first.
Satisfied with the answer, Shu Yu turned and headed for the backyard. Before long, the assistant heard Doctor Xu's laughter coming from behind.
He shook his head and continued with his work.
In the backyard, Doctor Xu scrutinized Shu Yu for a while and excitedly said, "I had a feeling that you were someone with great potential. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come up with such a good scar-removing ointment. But I never expected you to be even more capable than I thought, going from an exiled prisoner to the Village Lord. What's this called? Rising from the ashes."
Shu Yu covered her forehead and said, "You're exaggerating."
