Chapter 1351 Forgetting the Beads

Shu Yu snapped out of her reverie, slowly exhaled, and forced a smile, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some unpleasant things."

"Is it related to the beads?" Yuan Shanchuan is now a government employee, so his perspective has broadened, and he easily starts to think about more complicated matters.

Shu Yu nodded, "I guess so, Fourth Uncle. It's good that you told me about this. I also felt that the bead looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it before. Now I finally know, and I feel more at ease."

“I’m afraid of getting involved with the black market, which would bring trouble.”

That's right. If it really is as she imagines, then something really serious has happened.

Shu Yu was silent for a moment, then looked up with a serious expression. "Fourth Uncle, don't mention the beads to anyone again. You're right, getting involved with the black market isn't a good thing. From now on, you must completely forget about the beads."

Yuan Shanchuan opened his mouth, intending to ask her if she had encountered any trouble and if she needed any help.

But then he thought about Shu Yu's current status and the people she knew. If something serious happened, it would be more appropriate for her to turn to those people. He might actually be a hindrance to her.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shanchuan nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Let's go back and have the feast."

The two then walked back, and when they reached the backyard, Shu Yu subconsciously looked at Xiao Song Le.

The little guy and Quan Quan sat side by side, as if they were having a competition to see who could eat faster. Lu Sixing stopped them from the side. On the other side of Xiao Song Le sat the woman that Meng Yunzheng had bought to take care of him.

The child is much more cheerful now; compared to last year, he seems like a completely different person.

"Ayu?" The old lady's voice rang in my ears.

Shu Yu turned around, smiled, and sat down next to her.

The old lady noticed that her complexion was a bit off and asked with concern, "What did you and your fourth uncle talk about? You seem to have something on your mind?"

"It's nothing, just thinking about some business." She quickly changed the subject. "Grandma, how many dishes have been served yet?"

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk more, the old lady didn't ask any more questions. "There are already three dishes. Look, I've put the first two dishes into your bowl. Hurry up and eat."

"I still think nursing you is the best."

Shu Yu put those thoughts aside for the time being and focused on eating.

The early full moon banquet was exceptionally lively. Halfway through the meal, Da Niu went to several tables to offer toasts.

He held a small wine glass, only touching his lips with a little wine, not much at all.

This quickly angered the others, who insisted that he change to a larger cup.

Especially Zhou Lao Er, who had probably already drunk two cups of wine at the beginning, was a bit tipsy and was clamoring for Da Niu to give him face as his uncle and insist that he drink three cups in a row.

Da Niu didn't want to hug his daughter while he was covered in alcohol. The little girl is still quite sensitive to smells, and she will cry if she smells something unpleasant.

So Da Niu made an excuse that he had to deal with things at the workshop later and couldn't drink too much.

The Lu family was alright; apart from Lu Sanzhu, the older members weren't heavy drinkers and were easy to talk to. Among the younger generation, only his brother-in-law Lai Jinhai was a bit older than him; the others were still young and wouldn't try to get him drunk.

Lu Sanzhu was afraid of Shu Yu, and as soon as Da Niu mentioned the important matters in the workshop that needed to be dealt with, he immediately backed down.

Lai Jinhai always listened to Cuihua, so of course he wouldn't make things difficult for his brother-in-law.
