Chapter 2382 Shu Quan's Final Plans
Shu Yu suddenly realized that A Zhao was the fourth daughter of the second branch of the family.
So this Gu Xinghua is Shu Zhao's husband, who is about ten years older than her?
Shu Yu remembers...
"He seems to have a limp. Our guys do a lot of work, so at the very least, they need to be physically healthy." If it's just an office job where you sit and do things, then whether he's limping or not doesn't really matter.
But the staff are customers-facing, and most of the time they have to stand or walk, which is really inappropriate.
Shu Quan shook his head, "He's not lame."
"Um?"
Shu Quan rubbed his temples and explained, "Well, when Gu Xinghua was exiled, he was injured and walked with a limp for about half a year. He recovered, but he couldn't change his walking habits immediately. Sometimes he would subconsciously shift his weight to the left, making his walk awkward. The people in Zhengdao Village called him 'the cripple' because of this, and he couldn't shake the habit. Since he lived quite far away, many people who had never seen him really thought he was crippled. But now he has corrected it and walks very steadily. If you don't believe me, you can ask him to come and see."
"Besides, when you hire someone, they need to be presentable. Gu Xinghua is quite good-looking. You know what A-Zhao is like. Although she has changed a lot in recent years, she still has habits formed since childhood. She won't really let herself marry an old, ugly, and lame man. If he is really that useless, A-Zhao would rather jump into the river."
Shu Yu largely agreed with this point; she had found it strange before. Even if the Fourth Sister had come to terms with reality, it wasn't this realistic, was it?
If Gu Xinghua is really as Shu Quan says, just a bit older, then it's understandable that the fourth daughter's marriage to him didn't cause a huge uproar in the Gu family.
She just found it strange, "Why would you, of all people, find him such a job?"
They even had to beg her for help.
Shu Quan let out a soft sigh. "I had no choice. I did contribute to the capture of Shu Feng and the others to some extent. I contacted the official who was temporarily staying in Zhengdao Village. He said he had already compiled the information and submitted it to the capital. My contribution is indispensable. Putting aside everything else, there will definitely be no problem in pardoning my family."
Shu Yu nodded, "That's true."
Shu Quan said, "None of us want to stay in Zhengdao Village. If we are really reinstated as good citizens, we will most likely go back to our hometowns."
Go back to my hometown?
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. "Are you going back to Dong'an Prefecture?" No, please.
"Of course not, Dong'an Prefecture is just where my eldest uncle is an official." Officials sent to other places cannot serve in their hometowns. After the eldest son of the Shu family was transferred to Dong'an Prefecture, he brought his parents over. Naturally, the second branch of the Shu family had to come along as well. "You forgot, our Shu family's ancestral home is in Jincheng Prefecture. Although I only went there when I was a child, it is still much more prosperous than the southwest."
Shu Yu suddenly remembered, "So you're going back to Jincheng Prefecture?"
“Yes, but we can leave now, while Fourth Sister has already married and had a child. Jincheng Prefecture is very far from the southwest, and even if we have the chance in the future, it will be difficult to see each other. Fourth Sister’s husband works in Zhengdao Village all day long, but he has no hope of getting ahead, and his life will be miserable. I thought that before we leave, we should at least make sure they are settled.”
Shu Yu looked at the person in front of her with great surprise. She didn't expect that Shu Quan would have such a brotherly and sisterly affection for the Fourth Miss.
