Chapter 664 Wang Changdong's Attitude

Wang Changdong didn't ask any further questions; there were some things he wasn't supposed to know.

All he needed to know was that Mr. Qi had once been a high-ranking official in the capital.

Moreover, Wang Changdong also gleaned another layer of meaning from Shu Yu's words.

His eyes darted around. Miss Lu said that people usually repay kindness, but today Shu Yu received the governor's reward because she hunted the tiger.

In other words, Mr. Qi hasn't had time to repay his kindness yet, right?

Wang Changdong understood immediately: the favor should be kept, as they would definitely cross paths again in the future.

His expression towards Shu Yu changed instantly; this young girl had a limitless future ahead of her.

Thinking of this, his expression became even kinder. "I see. So it is because you planted good seeds that you reaped good results, right? That's why we must be kind-hearted, otherwise we will suffer retribution. Just like that Master Lan before, he did so many evil things and now he's been imprisoned."

Shu Yu turned her head and asked, "Is Master Lan locked up?"

"Exactly! He has several lives on his hands; he truly deserves to die."

Shu Yu seemed to be deep in thought. She had a feeling that Meng Yunzheng was definitely involved in Lan Ye's fate.

However, this person deserved his just deserts and should indeed die.

She looked at Wang Changdong, who was standing in front of her with a shared sense of righteous indignation, and knew that he was saying it on purpose for her to hear. She immediately laughed and said, "Yes, he has harmed so many people. This is retribution."

After exchanging a few words about Lan Ye's matter, Shu Yu said, "There seems to be quite a commotion outside. It seems the people from the wasteland have returned. Officer, I see that the manor is short-handed right now. How about I start helping out today?"

Several of the men from the estate helped the governor transport the tiger to the prefectural city; they may not return until tomorrow.

Wang Changdong quickly said, "No need, no need. You're already exhausted from hunting the tiger today. How can I ask you to do more? You should go home first. Your family must be worried about you."

Shu Yu had the same idea, so he didn't refuse and agreed on the spot.

"Then, thank you for your hard work, officer."

"Haha, this is all we should do. Go back and rest for two days, and come back to work the day after tomorrow morning. Your job isn't easy either. You're literate and knowledgeable, so you should do more of the work. Occasionally, you'll have to go to the county town to do the purchasing."

Shu Yu's eyes lit up slightly. Wang Changdong was deliberately sending her to the county town to get some fresh air and see her parents.

She accepted the kindness.

Shu Yu nodded, "Then I'll take my leave now."

As dusk settled, Shu Yu stepped out of the backyard, and Aunt Hou and the Sixth Miss, who were standing at the corner, hurried over.

"What's wrong? Is there something you need me to do?"

Shu Yu shook her head. "It's okay. Let's go back first. My grandma must be getting impatient."

Aunt Hou nodded repeatedly. The three of them didn't go to the front yard. They told Wang Changdong and went out to the back.

At this moment, the front yard was full of people returning from the wasteland, including the women of the Shu family.

The Shu family members were all somewhat distracted, after all, Aunt Hou had been summoned away by the governor and had not returned since, and no one knew where she had gone.

They wanted to inquire, but didn't know who to ask. They only heard that the governor had already left Zhengdao Village.

When the Shu family returned home with their allocated grain, they discovered that all the men of the Shu family had arrived.

Everyone was overjoyed and forgot about Aunt Hou and her daughter. They all surrounded their loved ones and cried as they poured out their grievances.
