Chapter 1900 Where Did Third Uncle Go?
Shu Yu should thank Qi Lie for his help in this incident, both out of courtesy and reason.
Who knew that this trip would lead to witnessing such a spectacle?
When she returned, it was already evening, and she came back alone.
Seeing this, the old lady asked in a low voice, "Is A-Yun busy again?"
"Yes, he asked me to tell you that he will take you around again tomorrow."
The old lady waved her hand, "No need, he's busy with his own things, he doesn't need to make time for us. We're not children, are we afraid of getting lost? Besides, we have to go back to Chenggu County tomorrow."
Shu Yu helped her walk into the courtyard, "Back tomorrow?"
“You don’t need to go back. You and A-Yun rarely see each other, so spend more time with him. We’ll go back ourselves. Didn’t the magistrate order the Chen family to pay your aunt six hundred taels of silver? That’s a huge sum of money, and your aunt is rightfully entitled to it. With this money, she can live comfortably when she returns to Dong’an Prefecture. We need to go back and keep an eye on things so that the Chen family doesn’t try to renege on the debt.”
Shu Yu chuckled. How could the Chen family dare to renege on their promise?
A proper judgment from the government means that the payment must be made within a few days; otherwise, the person who fails to pay will go to jail.
However, it wasn't wrong for the old lady to be so keen on that sum of money, so Shu Yu didn't stop her.
The old lady was clearly full of enthusiasm for debt collection, so she didn't get involved.
"Then let your third uncle go with you, he..."
When Lu Sanzhu was mentioned, Shu Yu suddenly paused, "Where did Uncle San go?"
Not only Lu Sanzhu, but those three boys are also gone.
The old lady said, "After you went to the government office, your third uncle couldn't sit still and said he wanted to go out for a stroll. He took his three sons and left. Speaking of which, half a day has passed. He should be back by now."
Speak of the devil, and he appears! As soon as she finished speaking, several figures came bounding in from outside.
Shu Rui took the lead and rushed straight to Shu Yu. Although the weather wasn't hot, he was covered in sweat from running and looked very excited. "Second Sister."
Where have you all been?
Shu Rui chuckled and whispered, "Ten Mile Alley."
Shili Lane? Isn't that the street where the Pan family's house is located?
What are you going there for?
"Of course I'm going to watch the excitement." Lu Sanzhu gulped down two large glasses of water, wiped his mouth, and sat down on the stool with a flourish. The expensive clothes he had changed into that morning were now wrinkled and looked completely out of place.
He didn't care. Seeing that Granny Fang and the others had come over, he began to speak mysteriously, "I guessed that the Pan family would be very lively after the case was over. So I went over to take a look, and sure enough, the Pan family was in complete chaos."
"How so?" the old lady asked with great interest, her expression revealing a gossipy look.
Shu Yu, "..."
The three teenagers immediately started talking all at once, "During the trial, didn't all of Pan's neighbors go with him? As soon as it ended, the news about the Pan and Chen families spread far and wide. Now everyone knows about the evil deeds Chen Bing committed, and everyone knows that Pan's youngest daughter had an affair with the housekeeper and had two illegitimate children. Even though Pan's family closed their gates, the crowds outside almost blocked the alley."
"Not only that, the backyard was also full of people, and the Pan family members didn't dare to come out at all."
"My third uncle is amazing. He took us to the house next door and climbed over the wall to see what was going on."
