Chapter 819 She is the sister of the village lord
Shu Yu spoke with the Xu family for a while before preparing to go back.
She lingered on the estate for quite some time. Not only was the old lady waiting for her in the backyard, but her parents in the county town still didn't know the news.
Shu Yu then said to Wang Changdong, "I need to go to the county town to tell my parents the good news. I'll have to trouble you with the registration tonight. I'll come back tomorrow to hand over the work to Xu Dali."
Wang Changdong was in a good mood and quickly said, "Yes, yes, your parents don't know about this good news yet. You should go back quickly and let them be happy. The job on the estate isn't urgent. You can come back when you have time."
Shu Yu then said to him, "Then I will take my grandmother back now. The things the Emperor bestowed will be left at the estate for the time being. I will bring the mule cart over and take them to the county town together."
The official from the Ministry of Rites, Lord Shi, brought not only the imperial edict, but also two hundred taels of gold, as well as jewels and medicinal herbs.
There weren't many things, just one box, but it was difficult for her and the old lady to carry them all by themselves.
Since she didn't plan to leave it in Zhengdao Village anyway, she simply took it to the county town.
Wang Changdong nodded, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on everything for you."
In fact, no one dares to steal the things bestowed by the emperor.
Shu Yu then went to the backyard to find the old lady, who was chatting with Aunt Fang about her plans after she left.
They still have a lot of things at home. Although they have only been here for half a year, they have already acquired quite a lot of equipment.
Those things that could be taken away were naturally taken away, while those that could not be taken away were given to friends.
Fang Xiyue and Ayu were close, so the old lady asked her what she needed or was missing, and told her to come and get it the next day.
At this critical juncture, Aunt Fang no longer stood on ceremony. She had just arranged a time with the old lady when Shu Yu arrived.
"Grandma, let's go to the county town."
The old lady then said goodbye to Aunt Fang, and the two of them, feeling relaxed, headed straight home.
There were hardly any people gathered outside the village anymore. After all, it had been so long, and everyone needed to go home for dinner and had a lot of chores to do.
Shu Yu was carrying a basket of clothes, and the two of them deliberately took a quiet path where there were few people.
However, when the old lady arrived at her doorstep, she found that the lock on the gate to her yard was missing.
She immediately tensed up. "I made sure I locked the yard before I left." Could it be that she's too old and forgot?
The old lady turned to look at Shuyu, "Could it be that the house has been burgled?"
Shu Yu chuckled, "No way, at this critical juncture, who would dare to steal from our house?"
As if she had just thought of something, her eyes lit up. "Could it be... that my parents have arrived?"
The old lady was taken aback, and the two quickly pushed open the courtyard gate.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered, they found the house bustling with activity. Sanya and Dahu ran over in unison, "Grandma, Second Sister."
"Second sister, second sister, they say you're the village head now, that's amazing."
Sanya hugged Shuyu's leg, her eyes sparkling.
She had already heard Brother Zhao explain the meaning of "village lord" to her. Although she didn't quite understand, she was enough to know that even the county magistrate had to treat him with respect.
Shu Yu put the clothes basket on the ground and picked up Sanya in one swift motion. "Yes, from now on you will be the village chief's sister."
Sanya was taken aback. The village chief's sister?
Her eyes lit up even more, and her body trembled with excitement. "Then, then I'm super awesome too, right?"
