Chapter 792 The Yao Family Has Good News

Wang Changdong returned to the alley entrance. Sun glanced at him and asked, "What did you forget?"

"There's a mistake, let's go."

Wang Changdong pulled Sun out of the alley, then glanced back at the corner.

The two people in the corner froze, quickly lowering their heads. They only breathed a sigh of relief after Wang Changdong and his wife had completely disappeared from sight.

"Do you think Steward Wang saw us?" the second wife asked nervously.

"Probably not?" Master Shu frowned. "If he saw us, he would definitely come over and ask. Why would he just leave?"

That's true.

The second wife pulled her clothes tighter; although the temperature was a bit higher today, it was still very cold.

They had been waiting here since early morning; it wouldn't be hard to find out the Lu family's address.

According to some villagers, the Lu family set up a small stall in the county town, selling popcorn.

They had never even heard of this thing before, but it was indeed a rare find.

After they arrived in the county town, they made a few inquiries and someone pointed them in the right direction. They went to the vicinity of the Lu family's stall and asked around, and they found out the Lu family's address.

Both of them were certain that the Hou mother and daughter would come, but they had been waiting for most of the day and still hadn't seen them.

The couple were cold and hungry, especially since every household in the county town had prepared plenty of food for the New Year, and the aroma wafted from all over the alleys, making it a real ordeal.

Shu Yu didn't take the two of them to heart, but her prayers were answered.

In the afternoon, a cold wind suddenly blew by, followed by a light rain.

The old lady was afraid that the two children would catch a cold, so she forbade them to go out again. The whole family, including Meng Yunzheng, sat in the main room around a brazier, chatting and eating.

The alley suddenly became much quieter, and the people coming and going were in a hurry.

This was a real hardship for Mr. and Mrs. Shu, as they didn't even have umbrellas and had to huddle under someone else's eaves to avoid the rain.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so it's considered unlucky to curse people. Otherwise, if they were dressed in rags and blocking someone's door, they would definitely get beaten up.

"Should we...should we keep waiting?" Master Shu was having second thoughts, his mouth trembling from the cold.

The second wife was unwilling to give up. "Wait, Madam Hou will definitely come."

They could only believe this, otherwise they really couldn't go on living without any hope.

However, what they didn't know was that the Hou family they were looking forward to was meeting the person who would completely change the course of her life at the post station.

The rain continued until evening before it stopped.

Unable to find anyone, Master Shu and his wife could only return to Zhengdao Village in resentment.

The Lu family, however, happily set off fireworks in the alley, making the alley lively again.

That rain seemed to be trying to shatter the couple's wishful thinking; it came unexpectedly and left abruptly.

Shu Yu glanced at the alley entrance, but there was no one there anymore.

This New Year was probably the most fulfilling and joyous one for the Lu family, because... Shu Yu was found.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Erbai took Shu Yu to pay a New Year's visit to the Yao family.

Shu Yu didn't want to go, but she had helped the Yao family last time, and the Yao family was very grateful to her.

Upon arriving at the Yao family home, they saw that Yao Tianqin and his companions seemed to have encountered some joyous occasion, and they were all in high spirits.
