Chapter 102 Meng Yunzheng Asks for Directions

Meng Yunzheng looked puzzled.

Shu Yu pointed in the direction Zhang Shu had left, "That's the man from just now."

Meng Yunzheng suddenly realized, then smiled and shook his head.

He habitually smiled, but then immediately remembered what Shu Yu had once said. She said his smile... was a little fake.

Meng Yunzheng immediately suppressed his smile, opened his mouth, and silently uttered two words.

Shu Yu couldn't hear him, but he only said two words, and his lip movements were very clear. She understood immediately, "Ask for directions? You mean, you're asking him for directions?"

Meng Yunzheng shook his head.

Shu Yu, "He asked you for directions?"

Meng Yunzheng nodded.

Shu Yu's brows furrowed suddenly. "He's a local, he knows this county like the back of his hand, why is he asking you instead?"

She had heard the old lady say that besides doing his chores at home, Zhang Shu would go to the county town to do odd jobs during the off-season. He was probably hardworking and quiet, so he always managed to find work and get paid even when others didn't.

This was a huge plus when Da Ya was married to him.

Both the matriarch and Lu Erbai's wife, Ruan Shi, believed that Zhang Shu was honest, hardworking, and good at making money, and that Daya was gentle, virtuous, and managed the household well. They thought that if the couple worked together, they would definitely make a prosperous life for themselves.

Who could have imagined that Daya's life in the Zhang family would become so difficult?

Why would someone who goes to the county town every year to find temporary work need to ask for directions? Or should they ask someone who isn't a local for directions?

Shu Yu always felt that Zhang Shuqi was strange.

As she was pondering this, a hand suddenly reached out in front of her and waved.

Shu Yu looked up and met Meng Yunzheng's strange gaze. She smiled and asked, "Young Master Meng, what are you doing here? Where is Doctor Zhao?"

Meng Yunzheng pointed to where he lived, and Shu Yu understood, but for a moment he didn't know what to say to him.

Meng Yunzheng is currently unable to speak or chat. Even if he makes gestures, Shu Yu can only guess at most of what he means.

So in the end, all she could say was, "Well, I run a clothing shop on Ningshui Street. Like I said before, if Young Master Meng needs my help, you can find me there."

Meng Yunzheng nodded, then turned and walked away.

Shu Yu watched his figure gradually disappear into the distance, and after a long while, she let out a heavy sigh.

Look, look, what a handsome young man! Why can't he speak? What a pity.

Shu Yu shook her head and walked back to the shop with her hands behind her back.

Da Niu had already tidied everything up. When he saw her return, he immediately greeted her happily, "Ayu, Uncle Zheng is starting work tomorrow. I'll come and help too. The sooner we finish the work, the sooner the shop can open."

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you for the next few days, Brother Da Niu."

Da Niu didn't find it troublesome at all; in fact, he was quite excited.

Although this wasn't his own shop, it belonged to his second uncle. He really wanted to be involved in the shop's renovation and watch it improve little by little.

"I'll bring my clothes over tomorrow and stay in the small room at the back; it'll be convenient."

The bedding in the small room had all been thrown away by Butler Yu, but the bed board was still there. He had just tidied it up, and a straw mat could be laid out for sleeping.

Shu Yu didn't quite agree, but she didn't try to dissuade him. Whether Da Niu could move in depended on whether Li Shi was willing; if she wasn't, Da Niu might not even be able to come to the county town.
