Chapter 1000 Sending Little Sprout Home
Ding Yuehua asked in surprise, "You've got someone in mind? You're not kidding me, are you? Who?"
"You don't know him either, but you'll see him soon after the engagement."
Shu Yu thought that, given the current trend and the endless stream of matchmakers coming to the door, the engagement date shouldn't be far off.
Ding Yuehua didn't want to ask too many questions, since she wasn't very familiar with Sister Ayu.
It's just a pity that my cousin has to find someone else.
Ding Yuehua felt somewhat regretful that she couldn't act as matchmaker and help bring about a good marriage.
I don't know if Ayu will have a chance; she'll keep an eye out for it later.
Shu Yu didn't mention that she also had a partner. Unlike her eldest sister, Ding Yuehua would definitely press her for details. As for Meng Yunzheng's matter, she couldn't talk about it for now, so she simply left it at that; she would naturally find out later.
Little did she know, this guy was still determined to be a matchmaker, and she didn't know where he got such great interest from.
Since that day, whenever a single man appears, she can't help but ask him a few more questions.
Fortunately, she felt that her good friend was very outstanding and was also a village lord, and that none of these people were good enough for her, so she never mentioned them to Shu Yu.
The next day, Shu Yu took Xiao Ya'er to the estate.
Accompanying them was A Ning, who had been taking care of Xiao Ya'er for the past few days.
Ah Ning had suffered before, so she was especially devoted to the little girl who had suffered even more and was a year younger than her.
This time, Xiaoya was going back to the estate, and she was a little reluctant to let her go. Since she had never been to the estate before, Shuyu took her along.
The two little girls huddled together in the mule cart, chattering away. With A Ning's constant chatter over the past few days, Xiao Ya'er had become a bit bolder and started saying a few more words.
But the closer the mule cart got to the village, the more silent she became, probably thinking of Old Man Cui again.
When the mule cart arrived at the village, Zhou Qiao was doing needlework at the door. There were several women from the village with her, including Guo Shi.
Although Zhou Qiao suffers from social anxiety, she feels much more at ease here.
The people here are not familiar with her, especially since Da Niu is now the head of the village and also Lu Xiangjun's cousin, so the villagers naturally keep their distance from them.
This distance was exactly what Zhou Qiao liked. They wouldn't ask her personal, difficult-to-answer questions; instead, they talked more about the situation and interesting things happening around here.
Upon seeing Shu Yu and the others arrive, Zhou Qiao and the other women present all stood up.
"Sister-in-law, how are you doing here? Are you getting used to it?" Shu Yu came down, followed by Xiao Ya'er and A Ning.
Zhou Qiao couldn't help but laugh, "I'm used to it, it's quite nice here. Come in quickly, I'll get you some water."
When Guo saw that Xiaoya was safe and sound, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The little girl couldn't wait any longer and ran up to Guo Shi, asking, "Auntie, do you know where my grandfather is? I want to go see him."
Guo looked up at Shu Yu, who nodded. "She misses her grandfather. Please take her there, sister-in-law."
"Okay, okay." Guo immediately took Xiaoya'er's hand and led her to pay respects to Old Master Cui.
Everyone else went home, and Shu Yu and Aning followed Zhou Qiao into the manor.
All the original servants in the manor had been taken away by Jiang Kuanyu, and now there are two women on the manor who help with cleaning and cooking. As Shu Yu entered, one of them had already cleverly brought tea to her.
Shu Yu sat down, took a couple of sips of her drink, let out a comfortable sigh, and couldn't help but ask, "Where's Brother Da Niu?"
