Chapter 576 Zhao Xi is your elder brother, Da Niu
Meng Yunzheng explained, "Their main reason for coming to Heichang County is you."
Therefore, it's impossible for them to earn money and live a good life in the county town while being unable to help the exhausted Shu Yu.
The Lu family had planned from the beginning that Lu Erbai, Ruan Shi, and Daya, the three strong laborers, would earn money in the county town to support the family.
The old lady, Da Hu, and San Ya came to take care of Shu Yu. They didn't need to do much; all Shu Yu needed to do was come home after a busy day and have a hot meal, a clean and warm room to sleep in, someone to talk to, and family members to keep her company so she wouldn't feel too lonely or uncomfortable.
The old lady and her two companions could do all of that.
After listening, Shu Yu remained silent for a long time.
After a long pause, she frowned and said, "But this is Zhengdao Village, and most of the people living here are prisoners. My grandmother and the other two are either old or young, so it's not safe for them."
"That's why I let Zhao Xi stay as well. He's your older brother now, Da Niu."
Shu Yu, "..." Huh? This works too?
She knew without even thinking what constipated look Zhao Xi would have on his face, and couldn't help but laugh, "That's really putting him in a difficult position."
"No, I have things to do on weekdays. Although his medical skills are superb, his martial arts are so-so. Following me might hold me back." Meng Yunzheng came to the southwest not only to arrange for Shu Yu's care, but also to find the abbot of Dongqing Temple.
To be honest, Shu Yu could easily beat Zhao Xi, who only had a mediocre skill level.
In the southwest, Meng Yunzheng also had people on his side, the same people who had come looking for the Abbot of Dongqing Temple but hadn't found any leads. So he wasn't going it alone. Leaving Zhao Xi here served two purposes: first, to help look after Shu Yu; and second, Zhao Xi himself was happy to do so.
There are many mountains and forests here, and many medicinal herbs, so Zhao Xi can find some uncommon medicinal herbs.
After Meng Yunzheng's explanation, Shu Yu felt relieved, but there was still one question.
"Then what identity did my grandmother and the others have when they came to Zhengdao Village to take care of me?"
In the eyes of the Shu family, they haven't even been officially recognized as relatives yet.
Meng Yunzheng smiled, "You'll know in a couple of days."
Shu Yu was surprised; it seemed they had actually come up with a solution.
only……
She thought for a moment, "Everything else is fine, but there's an official in Zhengdao Village called Master Lan. He seems to have his eye on me, and I don't know what his purpose is. If my grandmother comes over and wants to take care of me, I'm afraid she'll be made to suffer."
Meng Yunzheng's expression hardened. "They've got their eyes on you?"
"Well, I can't really explain it, but I feel like he really wants me to change to a different job, like teaching music at a music school."
Meng Yunzheng's lips tightened slightly. "I understand. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
It was getting late, and Madam Hou and the Sixth Miss were still waiting for Shu Yu to return.
The two said no more and went their separate ways.
Shu Yu gathered some dry firewood along the way, picked some wild vegetables and fruits, and returned home before it got completely dark.
Hou and the sixth daughter immediately got to work.
Shu Yu had already eaten, but in order not to attract attention, she ate some sweet potatoes and gave the rest to Hou and her daughter.
Both of them were a little surprised and wanted to persuade her to eat some more, but Shu Yu refused firmly, so they didn't say anything more.
There wasn't much grain, but since Shu Yu hadn't eaten, Hou Shi and the Sixth Miss ate until they were half full, and then put the rest away. After all, they might not get this much grain tomorrow, so of course they had to be frugal and save some.
