Chapter 321 Shu Yu's Worries

Shu Yu was surprised to see the old lady stuff two pieces of silver into her hand.

"Milk?"

The old lady said, "Ayu, give this to that official and ask him to help you feed your fourth aunt better and take better care of her."

Shu Yu stared blankly at the loose silver in her hand.

Before Shuyu returned, the old lady only had two or three hundred coins left to use.

After the shop opened, although it made money, the old lady didn't take a single coin, except for the ten taels of silver she controlled in the public treasury.

She felt that she didn't need to spend much money on a daily basis, as having enough food and drink at home was sufficient.

Because her children and grandchildren were filial, Shu Yu would occasionally find an excuse to give her some personal money to keep. Later, when her grandchildren came to visit, the old lady would buy some snacks to share, and the children would be happy.

Later, Ruan and Daya also gave her some money, as well as the two taels of old-age money that the third brother gave her a few days ago.

So the old lady now had five or six taels of silver, and she took out half of it and stuffed it into Shuyu's hands.

Shu Yu chuckled, but didn't refuse. Only if she accepted it could the old lady feel at ease. Anyway, she could always find an excuse to return it later.

But she had already given Hu Li a few taels of silver beforehand, and she had already explained what the old lady was talking about.

"Grandma, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Shu Yu turned around and said a few words to Hu Li.

The group walked all the way to the entrance of the county government office before stopping.

Lu Dasong and the others who were waiting outside immediately came to greet them.

The villagers of Daxu Village asked Village Chief Chen anxiously, "Village Chief, you've seen the Yuan family. Are they alright?"

Village Chief Chen waved his hand, "Don't block the way here, let's go back first."

Once they were far from the county government office, Village Chief Chen turned to the old woman and said, "Sister-in-law Lu, we'll head back to the village now. Please keep an eye on the Yuan family's affairs. If we have any news, please let each other know. We'll also try our best to find Yuan Shanchuan."

The old lady nodded, and the two quickly parted ways and left.

Shu Yu and his group then headed towards Liufang Lane. Lu Dasong inquired about Lu Sixing's condition and was relieved to learn that she was alright and had not been imprisoned.

These days, reputation is still very important, especially for women. If someone has been to prison, they are already considered to have an impure reputation by many people.

But Lord Xiang had already promised Shu Yu that he would temporarily detain the person at the county government office and would not send him to prison.

The group chatted as they returned home.

As soon as the old lady entered the door, she asked about Quan Quan's condition. The child had already taken his medicine and fallen asleep.

Ruan sat beside the child, sewing doll covers while checking on him from time to time.

So far everything seems fine, and the diarrhea has stopped, but I haven't been sleeping very well.

As long as nothing's wrong, that's good. Everyone's been busy all this time and hasn't even had lunch yet.

Liang helped cook noodles, and everyone quickly filled their stomachs before they could sit down and rest for a while, and then they could discuss things in peace.

The key to the problem now lies with Yuan Shanchuan, but he seems to have vanished into thin air; nobody knows where he went.

Shu Yu was unfamiliar with this area, and the Great Su Dynasty wasn't like modern times with surveillance cameras everywhere, so finding someone was extremely difficult.

For now, it seems we can only place our hopes on the government.

What Shu Yu is most worried about now is whether Yuan Shanchuan is still alive.
