Chapter 1497 Old Master Yuan Has Suspicions
Shu Yu asked in confusion, "What is it?"
Da Niu continued looking at the sunflower field outside and said, "A few days ago, Boss Yuan and his wife were peeking around here. Old Yang spotted them, scolded them, and they ran away."
Yuan Laoda is the eldest brother of Yuan Shanchuan, the fourth aunt's husband.
As soon as Da Niu mentioned it, Shu Yu understood what he meant.
"You mean, Boss Yuan might have already discovered our sunflower seeds, the ones he dug up from under my uncle's ground earlier?"
The sunflower seeds were originally bought by Shu Yu and Da Niu from Boss Yuan.
Shu Yu had already made preparations, after all, once the seeds were grown, they couldn't be kept secret, and sooner or later Boss Yuan would find out that the sunflowers were exactly the same as the packet of seeds he had in his hand.
Da Niu nodded, "But I think he doesn't seem very sure either. So much time has passed, I guess they themselves don't even remember the shape of that packet of seeds. But they still came, so they must have some doubts."
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Let them suspect. We didn't steal or rob. We bought it honestly. Even if I had disguised myself as a middle-aged man to buy it, or even if I had bought it in my real appearance, the transaction would have been completed and it would have nothing to do with them anymore."
Without her, Mr. Yuan's bag of seeds would never have been sold.
He had already asked at various general stores and pharmacies, but they either didn't recognize the seeds or just gave him a few coins to get rid of him. After being turned down on all sides, Boss Yuan was even considering throwing away the packet of seeds.
If he wants to cause trouble now, he needs to have a valid reason to do so.
Shu Yu said, "Tell Lao Yang to be careful and not let anyone into the workshop to cause trouble. Let's just wait and see what Boss Yuan is thinking."
Da Niu nodded. "Okay, I understand."
As the two talked, the carriage soon arrived at the village.
The two went to see the old lady, only to find her resting on the bed, with Xiao Zaozao lying next to her, also asleep. The two, one big and one small, lay side by side, looking exceptionally harmonious.
Shu Yu glanced at it and then left, asking Zhou Qiao, "Is Grandma alright?"
Zhou Qiao smiled and said, "You look to be in good spirits. After you left, we took a walk in the fields. Grandma saw some tenant farmers working in the fields, so she put on her straw hat and went down to them. She talked to them while looking at the sunflower stalks and even caught two worms."
When she told me about it, it seemed quite interesting.
"Grandma seems to be in a great mood. I think we can bring her over from time to time in the future."
Shu Yu and Da Niu exchanged a glance. Although they hadn't seen the old lady's expression at the time, Shu Yu's guess was obviously correct. The old lady hadn't been able to get out of bed for a long time and was starting to miss it.
She nodded. "That's fine. Anyway, there are plenty of rooms on the estate. We can let her come here occasionally to see all our land. Hundreds of acres of land is a very impressive and proud thing for Grandma."
"We can bring her along when the sunflowers are harvested," Da Niu suggested.
The group clearly realized that they couldn't let the old lady stay at home all the time.
Zhou Qiao said, "Later, I saw that it was getting hot outside, so I advised her to come back and rest. As a result, she coaxed Xiao Zaozao to sleep and fell asleep herself next to her."
"She really likes Xiaozaozao."
Zhou Qiao nodded, glanced at the room, and her expression became somewhat hesitant.
Shu Yu asked curiously, "What's wrong with my sister-in-law?"
