Chapter 2062: Let My Brother Come Over

Shu Yu didn't commit to anything but just smiled.

It seemed that the ancestors of Ruan Hai were quite greedy. She had heard Ruan Chengqian mention that most of the residents in Ruan Family Village were surnamed Ruan, so the village head had always been someone from their family. In the last three generations, it had been passed down within their family.

This explained why Ruan Hai's family was so wealthy. If not for the fact that they lacked servants, their mansion would be no different from that of a landlord's.

Fortunately, Ruan Hai's residence was large enough. At this moment, the villagers from Ruan Village kept coming in, bringing their friends and acquaintances along. Even in this spacious hall, there was still enough room for everyone.

Ruan Hai couldn't help but feel a little uneasy as he watched Shu Yu chat with the villagers while looking around his home. He felt that she might be harboring some sinister intentions to cause trouble for his family.

So, not only did he accompany her the entire time, but he also warned his family to be cautious. They kept the children inside their rooms and didn't let them come out. Even Ruan Kewei obediently stayed indoors.

As a result, it was convenient for Ruan Chengqian and his brother who were currently searching for clues in the mountains. They had been searching meticulously for traces since Shu Yu had accompanied old lady Ruan in the burial ceremony in the mountain. They had been searching for two hours already.

Today, two-thirds of the villagers from Ruan Family Village went to Ruan Hai's house, while another group continued to assist at Ruan's house. As for the remaining villagers who had to work in their fields, there was not a single person around the foot of the mountain.

As time passed, it was gradually approaching lunchtime, around eleven o'clock. Ruan Chengqian hurriedly arrived at Ruan Hai's house.

He squeezed into the crowd and said to Shu Yu, "County Princess, the meals at home are ready. Let's go back for lunch."

Everyone suddenly looked up and realized that it was already noon.

Shu Yu looked at the sweat on Ruan Chengqian's forehead and his bright eyes when he saw her. He nodded slightly when he saw her and had the look of someone who had made some progress.

She smiled and replied, "Sure."

Ruan Hai hurriedly added, "County Princess, why don't you have lunch at home? The food is already prepared."

Even if he was reluctant, he had to maintain appearances. Besides, his wife had indeed prepared a meal.

However, Shu Yu shook her head, "No need, the meal at Ruan Dalai's house suits my taste. It's quite to my liking. Let's go to his house."

Ruan Hai could only say helplessly, "If that's the case, I won't stop you, County Princess."

However, when he didn't stop her, the other villagers nervously asked, "County Princess, will we continue the discussion after lunch?"

Shu Yu pondered for a moment. Although she had stayed at Ruan Hai's house under the pretext of purchasing sunflower seeds, she wasn't just idling around. Some villagers had genuinely shown an interest in planting sunflowers, especially those who were on good terms with Ruan Hai or those recommended by Ruan Kewei.

She nodded slowly, "Everyone, go back and have lunch first. We'll continue discussing the sunflower planting business after lunch. However, whether it works out or not doesn't depend on me alone. We need my brother to come and inspect the land that is suitable for planting."
