Chapter 490 Compromise with Wei Nan
Hu Li smiled wryly and nodded, "Yes."
Xiang Weinan felt he needed to call a doctor.
Hu Li whispered his advice, "Sir, I think the Lu family members are all the same, stubborn and inflexible. We can't hit them or scold them, and we can't persuade them anyway. Why don't we just agree to their demands?"
Xiang Weinan glared at him sharply, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
“But sir, you don’t know that they’ve already been discussing their route, and even made arrangements for their funerals…the shops, fields, servants, and houses. I think that even if we disagree, they will still sneak over there. We can’t keep people watching them all the time. Of all of them, only Lu Erbai has ever traveled far, and the furthest he’s ever been is Dong’an Prefecture. With so many old and young people, if they really do something reckless and something happens, the consequences will be severe.”
Xiang Weinan gritted his teeth, "Then how am I supposed to tell Lu Shuyu?"
Hu Li suggested, "Sir, write her a letter? Make sure it's sincere. Actually, as long as she's safe and sound, Miss Lu will probably be very happy to see her family."
Xiang Weinan said, "The Lu family members are all quite old, how can they still be so insensible?"
Hu Li chuckled dryly and followed Xiang Weinan into the main hall.
Hearing the commotion, the Lu family members all turned around.
Xiang Weinan walked up to them and said expressionlessly, "I agree."
The Lu family members' faces lit up with joy. "Sir, are you serious?"
"In short, go home and arrange your other matters first. Find your own excuse for the long journey and pack your things. I will find a reliable escort agency to escort you to the southwest."
After saying that, Xiang Weinan turned and left.
The Lu family finally felt relieved, and they helped each other to their feet, walking unsteadily toward the door.
Only after leaving the county government office did the group wipe their sweat. They realized that their worries about Shu Yu were real, but they were also terrified by the county magistrate's audacious and threatening behavior.
It was just that her desire to see Shuyu had deepened, and she had run away to the southwest.
It was getting late, so the old lady told Da Niu to go back first, since she had to return the village chief's oxcart first, and told him to come back tomorrow.
After Da Niu left, the family returned to Liufang Lane.
The next day, the Lu family got busy.
They temporarily handed the shop over to Da Niu, terminated the lease on the house, and sent some of the things they couldn't take with them back home or put them in the backyard of the shop.
Lu Dasong and Lu Sanzhu both knew what had happened. Although they disagreed, they couldn't go against the old lady's wishes and had to compromise.
Lu Erbai went to Dr. Xu's clinic and shamelessly asked Dr. Xu about last month's profit sharing.
He felt embarrassed, but there were too many places in the southwest where he would need money. They were also thinking that if they could walk faster, they could catch up with A-Yu and then give some silver to the escorting officials so that they could follow behind and take care of A-Yu at any time.
So even though they now have two thousand taels, they still feel it's not enough.
Although Dr. Xu was surprised, he didn't ask any further questions. Because of the backlog of orders in the first month, the orders slowed down in the second month, but Dr. Xu still rounded it up and gave Lu Erbai five hundred taels.
The Lu family members all split up and acted quickly, finishing all the necessary instructions within a day.
Xiang Weinan also found a security escort agency for them. This agency actually had female escorts, two men and one woman, to escort them to the southwest.
He wrote a letter himself and had someone send it to Meng Yunzheng by fast horse so that he could give it to Shu Yu.
