Chapter 1800: The Decision to Recognize Relatives

When Shu Yu returned to the county town, it was already dark.

Everyone from the escort agency returned, and Shu Yu then told Meng Pei about finding her great-aunt.

Earlier, the Lu family had asked Meng Pei to help them find friends all over the country to keep an eye out for their great-aunt's whereabouts. Now that she has been found, they will definitely tell him as soon as possible.

Meng Pei was very happy. "This is great news! I really didn't expect that Granny Fang is your great-aunt, and that she has lived in Chenggu County for so many years. We almost missed each other."

He had previously thought that once things stabilized in the prefectural city, he would have A-Yun look at the documents and records in the prefectural government office to see if they could find the list of people who had fled from Dong'an Prefecture more than 30 years ago.

Before they could even take any action, they had already encountered each other.

"What a wonderful coincidence! Ah Yu, when do you think we should invite Grandma Fang over for a meal? Let's have a good time."

Shu Yu smiled and said, "No rush. My aunt just returned to Hedeng Village and has a lot to do. I'll pick her up when I have some free time."

"Okay, you can arrange it later."

Shu Yu nodded. She originally thought that she would have to wait until A Yun returned to have a meal, but who knew that she would run into Yuan Gui who came to the county town the next day.

She had just returned from outside when she saw Yuan Gui standing at the entrance of the Meng Family Escort Agency, raising his hand as if to knock on the door.

Shu Yu called his name, and he turned around and immediately took a few steps forward. Compared to the day before, the expression on his face was much more relaxed.

"Lu Xiangjun".

"Did you need something from me?" Shu Yu led him inside.

Yuan Gui scratched his head, smiling somewhat foolishly and excitedly, "Lord Lu, well, I, Granny Fang and I have decided to recognize each other as relatives."

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "That's great! When?"

"The old village chief has consulted someone to calculate an auspicious day, which is the day after tomorrow. Granny Fang asked me to come and tell Mr. Lu Xiangjun that she knows you are busy and hopes you can be there to witness it if you have time."

"It's such a big deal, I'll definitely be there," Shu Yu replied.

Yuan Gui was relieved. "Alright, then I'll take my leave now."

They'd only just reached the front yard, and they left after saying that?

Shu Yu: "Is there anything else? Come in, have a seat, and have a glass of water."

“No need, I still need to go to the county government office,” Yuan Gui said. “As you know, Lord Lu, I followed Jiang Kuanyu off the cliff and have been hiding ever since. I don’t even have an identity or household registration. The people in Dong’an Prefecture all thought I was dead. Now that we’re going to recognize our relatives, we need a proper identity. So I want to go to the county government office first and get this sorted out.”

Shu Yu knew about Yuan Gui's situation, and Xia Yi knew about it too. Xia Yi was still in charge of the county government, so this matter was easy to handle.

Yuan Gui said, "Besides, I need a certificate to go back to Dong'an Prefecture with Granny Fang in the future." Otherwise, we'll be unregistered residents. "Let's get it done together this time to save trouble, and I'll also take two days off."

"Take two days off?"

Yuan Gui nodded, "I heard from Granny Fang that Lord Lu will not return to Dong'an Prefecture until after the New Year, so I thought I would continue to help out at the county government office for the next two months to earn some wages."

He had almost no money left. He would need to make a living after returning to Dong'an Prefecture, and he also had to pay back the money he owed Doctor Mi for medicine.

Although Grandma Fang and the Lu family have recognized each other, they can't just eat and live at the Lu family's house all the time; that would be too embarrassing.

He needs to earn more money before he can do that.
