Chapter 217 Get Lost
The old lady's eyes brightened slightly. Yes, if those two soldiers were easy to talk to, they could help check the travel permit.
If it is confirmed that Yuan Shanchuan did not have a travel permit for a long trip, then the scope is narrowed down to at least a hundred miles.
Seeing that the old lady had calmed down, Shu Yu didn't say anything more. "Then let's decide on this matter for now? It's getting late, let's finish our meal and get some rest."
The old lady nodded, regained some of her spirits, and went to the kitchen with Shuyu.
Shu Yu ate with her until she fell asleep, and then went back to her room to rest.
The next morning, the old lady herded all the chickens in the yard into the chicken coop, took all the belongings she hadn't had time to take the day before, and then got on the mule cart, ready to go to the county town.
As soon as I went upstairs, I saw Lu Sanzhu staggering over from outside, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.
The old lady paused, then asked him, "Third son, you didn't come back all night?"
Lu Sanzhu yawned. "You bet! Didn't Mother tell my wife yesterday to ask me about my fourth sister's husband? I've been so busy."
The old lady was quite surprised that her third son, who was usually so lazy, would one day go to such lengths because of something she said.
She got off the mule cart, walked up to him, and patted his arm. "You've worked hard. Go back and get some rest."
Lu Sanzhu nodded, then glanced at Shu Yu out of the corner of his eye. He suddenly swayed as if he was about to faint. "Mother, don't worry, I have many friends. I'll definitely have news soon."
After saying that, he walked past the old lady and swayed as he stood in front of Shu Yu. "Ah Yu, do you think Uncle has lost some weight recently? He must be exhausted these days."
The old lady thought, "..." Get lost, he doesn't have a son like that.
Shu Yu found it amusing and handed him a piece of meat, saying, "Let your third aunt cook you something delicious to nourish you."
Lu Sanzhu instantly perked up, grabbed the meat, and ran home without even glancing at the old lady again.
The old lady laughed in anger, pointing at his back and saying to Shu Yu, "That bastard, I really shouldn't have had too high expectations of him."
"Grandma, that's just how Uncle is, don't take it to heart. Let's get in the car and head back to the county town."
The old lady took a deep breath and, with Shu Yu's help, got back onto the mule cart.
Shu Yu quickly drove the car towards the county town. Knowing that the old lady was a little anxious, she didn't delay and drove quite fast.
Therefore, when she encountered Tang Wenqian and his mother on the road, she did not stop this time either.
As Tang's mother watched the familiar mule cart of the Lu family flash by, her brows furrowed slightly. "Didn't she see us? You said yesterday that they were a good family, but this is so rude. They don't seem good at all."
Tang Wenqian looked at his mother with some surprise, "Mother, in the past, when people from other villages came to the city in oxcarts, they didn't necessarily say hello to us."
Tang's mother was taken aback; in fact, Tang Wenqian's words were still quite polite.
Previously, villagers would always greet them when they saw them. After all, Tang Wenqian was the only scholar in the village, and he passed the exam at a young age, which was a source of great pride for Shangshi Village.
But when they greeted Tang Wenqian and his mother, Tang's mother barely reacted.
As the mother of a scholar, Tang's mother was somewhat aloof.
Firstly, it's normal for her to be aloof with such an accomplished son. Secondly, ever since Tang Wenqian passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, many people have tried to take advantage of him and asked him for help.
