Chapter 670: The Local Bully
Shu Yu found it strange that Da Ya's reaction was exaggerated, even if she suspected her of being a thief.
"Ah Yu, what's wrong? Did something happen? You were fine, so why did you come to the county town?" Da Ya asked, concerned. After all, those exiled to Zhengdao Village were not allowed to leave within a year.
Da Ya tightened her grip on Shu Yu's hand, worry evident in her eyes. "Eldest Sister, are you okay? Did something happen? You're...

Chapter 669: Finding Mother and Da Ya at the Stall
The idea of circling around was something Shu Yu had learned from the children. Her eyelids twitched as she stared at the mini cart, unable to find the words to express herself.
"You guys go ahead and play. I won't join in the fun," she said. Seeing the old lady enter the kitchen, Shu Yu followed suit. "Grandmother, can you tell me where my mother and Eldest sister's stall is? I want to go and see how their business is doing."...

"Do you think our parents will be happy to see me?"
They came here today, but no one mentioned that Shu Yu planned to give Lu Erbai and the others a surprise.
This was her second time in Heichang County. Last time when she passed through, she kept her head down the entire way and didn't get a good look at the place.

So she decided to rest in her room for a while and only came out a few moments before Shu Yu and the others woke up.

Wang Changdong didn't continue asking, some things were not for him to know. All he needed to know was that Mr. Qi was once a high-ranking official in the capital city. Moreover, Wang Changdong had also sensed another layer of meaning from Shu Yu's words. Her reward from the Governor was a result of her capturing the big tiger.
In other words, Mr. Qi's repayment had not yet taken place, right?

Saying so, he took out a jade pendant. "This is a token. Keep it with you."
