Chapter 1845 The Chen Family Has Returned

As the old lady spoke, she began to feel a tightness in her chest.

Shu Yu could only hold her and pat her back gently. The carriage was very quiet, and the old lady gradually fell asleep.

She didn't wake up until the carriage stopped at the city gate.

"arrive?"

Shu Yu nodded and straightened her clothes. After the carriage entered the city, the old lady lifted the curtain and looked out again.

Yesterday, I rushed into the city, and I was so focused on finding the location of the escort agency that I didn't really get a good look at Chenggu County.

Now that she has seen her sister whom she had been separated from for decades, her mind has calmed down, and the old lady has finally found some peace.

Shu Yu leaned closer to her and explained, "That courtyard was newly built. When the rebels broke in at night, they burned down most of the houses."

"Those people are truly despicable," the old woman said indignantly.

Shu Yu pointed to another spot, "That area is the most bustling street in Chenggu County. Along the way, you can find all kinds of food, drinks, and entertainment. When Grandma has time, she and Auntie can go for a stroll."

"And that place, it is..."

As Shu Yu was speaking, her brows suddenly furrowed, and she said directly to Ying Dong on the carriage shaft, "Stop the carriage first."

The old lady looked at her suspiciously. "What's wrong?"

"That shop belongs to Chen Bing."

The old lady suddenly looked over, her gaze turning icy cold.

Shu Yu said, "Before, there was only one shop assistant watching over the shop every day. Why is it so lively today?"

At this moment, a crowd had gathered in front of Chen's General Store, and some people were shouting something inside, making a ruckus. It was unclear what had happened.

Just then, Lu Sanzhu ran over from the carriage behind, asking, "Why did you stop?"

The old woman pointed at Chen's shop with a sneer, "That's the lousy shop run by that old beast."

Shu Yu, “…” Even that old beast has come out?

Lu Sanzhu turned his head and saw that there was clearly something interesting to see, so he hurriedly said, "It seems like there's a fight going on over there. I'll go take a look."

After saying that, he ran over and squeezed into the crowd.

Not to be outdone, the old lady also quickly got off the bus.

Shu Yu quickly helped her down, and several people from the car behind her ran over as well, and they arrived at the outer layer of Chen's General Store.

With a few young men clearing the way, the old lady finally managed to squeeze inside and immediately spotted the man shouting and spitting as he spoke.

Shu Yu asked the woman watching the commotion, "What's going on? Who is this person?"

"Young lady, are you from out of town?"

Shu Yu nodded. "Yes, we were just walking this way when we saw a lot of people gathered here, so we came to take a look."

The woman immediately became interested and enthusiastically introduced him to them, "This man is the young owner of this general store."

Young Master? Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. The Chen family has returned from the prefectural city?

However, the woman then said, "The Chen family all went to the prefectural city before the New Year, saying that the father-in-law in the city had fallen ill, and the whole family went to visit him. Well, they've been gone for more than two months. So, the shop was left to this only clerk to look after. And just this morning, the young master of the Chen family came back, saying he was back to buy more goods."

Shu Yu raised her eyebrows. Her guess was indeed correct. The Chen family would be back in the next few days.
