Chapter 1347 Little Song Ran Away
Yuan Shanchuan frowned, looked at the bead over and over again, and then became very certain that he had indeed seen this bead before.
"Uncle, give me the pearl." Little Song was happy to see him come back, but he kept looking down at his little pearl and wouldn't give it back, so she got a little anxious and tiptoed to tug at his sleeve.
Yuan Shanchuan snapped out of his daze, squatted down, handed the bead to him, and then asked with a smile, "Lele, where did you get this bead?"
Xiao Songle quickly put the beads back into his bag; he clearly hadn't forgotten to prepare a gift for Zaozao.
Therefore, as soon as she put the precious beads away, she immediately started rummaging through her bag.
However, after hearing Yuan Shanchuan's words, he paused, looked up, blinked at him, and suddenly turned and ran away.
"Hey..." Yuan Shanchuan was caught off guard and couldn't grab him in time. He watched helplessly as the man went straight into the main room.
The child seemed to treasure the bead, yet didn't seem willing to tell him about it.
Fine, if he doesn't want to talk, he doesn't have to.
Quan Quan, seeing Xiao Song run off happily, quickly followed, saying, "Wait for me."
Little Song Le ran to the back of the main room and was spotted by the old lady. She quickly waved her hand, "Lele, don't run, there are a lot of people here, be careful not to bump into someone."
Xiao Song stopped, and then Quan Quan caught up with him.
Quan Quan looked puzzled. "Why are you running?"
He didn't know why he ran away; he just instinctively ran away when he heard others asking about the origin of the beads.
Both his uncle and Aunt Ayu had told him not to show the beads to others or to tell them where they came from.
Although he didn't know why, he knew his uncles wouldn't harm him, and he would just obey them.
Seeing him lost in thought, Quan Quan nudged him. "Lele?"
Children forget things easily. One moment you're asking them a question, and the next they're talking about something else entirely, like, "I saw a tree branch over there, it looks really tough, let's go get it and play with it."
"Okay, okay."
The two children went out hand in hand.
Shu Yu, who happened to be passing by, twitched her lips. Tree branches... what's so great about them?
She shook her head and went inside to find the old lady.
The old woman pulled her to sit down beside her and asked in a low voice, "Have you finished talking to the village chief?"
"Um."
Although the full moon celebration was held early this year and was not a grand affair, the village chief of Shangshi Village and two respected elders still attended.
The Lu family is doing better and better now. Many people in the village either work for Lu Erbai or work in Shu Yu's workshop. The village chief and clan elders all hope to get along better and better with them.
When the Lu family has a happy occasion, they will naturally come to offer their congratulations.
As soon as Shu Yu arrived, Fan Zhong came to talk to her.
Since Shu Yu rarely comes back, Fan Zhong really has a lot of things he wants to discuss with her, and they've been talking about it ever since.
The old lady was a little worried. "What did he say to you? Did he ask you for help? Let me tell you, Ayu, if it's a small matter, we'll do it if we can, but if we can't, then you should refuse, understand?"
As she spoke, her voice lowered, almost whispering in Shu Yu's ear, "Village Chief Fan, while not exactly a heinous villain, isn't exactly kind-hearted either. Don't give him any special treatment just because he's the village chief, understand?"
Seeing the old lady's serious expression, as if afraid she would suffer a loss, Shu Yu immediately smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry, what Village Chief Fan asked me about isn't anything difficult."
