Chapter 1778 Shu Yu Writes a Letter to Report That She Is Safe

Three days later, when Shu Yu estimated that the situation outside the city should have been dealt with, General Huang's deputy general led a group of soldiers into the city.

It also conveyed General Huang's message—the rebels outside have all been captured, the crisis in Chenggu County has been resolved, the city gates can be opened, and the people can finally freely enter and leave the city.

Subsequently, the deputy general was temporarily stationed at the Chenggu County government office to assist Xia Yi in her work.

He brought a large number of men, all of whom were rigorously trained soldiers who adhered to military-style management and were extremely efficient and capable.

This group of people quickly replaced the guards and servants in the homes of wealthy families like Master Yang, allowing them to finally go back and rest.

With them, Shu Yu's burden was instantly lightened considerably. The next day, she took her deputy to the black market and brought up all the girls and laborers who were still living underground.

Of course, the deputy general's main objective was the weapons.

As for the girls and laborers who came up, having spent so much time in the black market, they were overjoyed to be on the ground, but they still seemed quite awkward, unsure of what to do with their hands and feet.

The abandoned mansion was cleared out by several laborers a few days ago, and they are temporarily living in the abandoned mansion after they were released.

Master Yang and others brought daily necessities. Because they had shared joys and sorrows, they could still talk to each other quite well.

The identities and household registrations of these people have not yet been finalized. Once things are stable in the prefectural city, we will verify their identities, ask about their thoughts and wishes, and see whether to send them back to their original places of residence or whether they want to settle down here or elsewhere.

After settling them in, Shu Yu decided to take a break. Since General Huang's deputy was busy with things in the city, she would rest for two days before going to the prefectural city to find Meng Yunzheng.

However, now that the city gates are open and everyone can come and go freely, Shu Yu thought he should quickly write a letter back to Jiangyuan County to let his parents know he was safe and to wish them a Happy New Year.

They are destined to spend the Chinese New Year here this year.

It's best not to say too much about what happened in Chenggu County, so Shu Yu only mentioned what needed to be mentioned. The most important thing was that she was doing well, but there was a shortage of manpower in the city. She and Meng Yunzheng, one a village lady and the other a scholar, had both been left behind to help.

Halfway through writing, Shu Yu thought of Grandma Fang.

She is now certain that Grandma Fang is her great-aunt.

She just didn't quite understand what exactly happened back then, and why Grandma Fang was unwilling to talk about her family or go back to her hometown.

Shu Yu originally wanted to tell the old lady about this, but she was afraid that there might be some hidden story, and that the old lady would be happy for nothing.

Let's... ask first.

Without further ado, Shu Yu put away the letter he was writing halfway through and then called to Ying Xi, "Let's go to the county government office."

These past few days, she hasn't had a chance to see Grandma Fang, let alone have a proper chat with her.

There were simply too many things to do, and at first, Grandma Fang refused to bring up the events of that year.

Yingxi hurriedly grabbed the cloak from the armchair and followed, the two of them walking quickly out of the escort agency one after the other.

However, when they arrived at the county government office, they were told that Granny Fang had left, and that she had left early in the morning.

The other person said, "Now that the city gates are open, Grandma Fang hasn't been back to the village for a long time. She left in a hurry and didn't have time to pack her things. She doesn't know how things are now. No matter what, she still has to go back."
