Chapter 819: Chapter 819: She is the Village Chief’s Sister

Shu Yu spoke with the Xu Family for a while before preparing to leave.

She had been delayed for quite a long time at the manor, the old lady was still waiting for her in the backyard, and her parents in the county town were still unaware of the news.

Shu Yu then said to Wang Changdong, “I need to go to the county town and tell my parents the good news. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you with the registration matters tonight. I will come back tomorrow to hand over things to Xu Dali.”

Wang Changdong was in a good mood and quickly responded, “Yes, yes, yes, your parents don’t know this joyous news yet. You should hurry back and let them be happy. The chores at the manor aren’t urgent, you can come back when you’re free.”

Shu Yu then said to him, “Then I will take Grandmother back with me now. The items bestowed by the Emperor will be temporarily left here at the manor. I’ll bring the mule carriage over and take them to the county town together.”

It wasn’t just the Imperial Decree that Lord Shi from the Ministry of Rites brought, but also two hundred gold taels, as well as jewels and medicinal materials.

The items didn’t look like much, just one chest, but it was too much for her and the old lady to carry by themselves.

Since she did not plan to leave them at Righteous Dao Village, she decided to simply take them all to the county town.

Wang Changdong nodded, “Okay, I’ll keep an eye on the things for you.”

Actually, no one dared to steal the items 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 leaving.

There were still quite a few items at home. Although they had only been here for half a year, they had acquired a lot of belongings.

Some items that could be taken would be taken. Those that could not, would be given to friends.

Since Xiyue and Yu were close, the old lady asked her what she lacked or needed, telling her to come over and pick them up the next day.

At this critical moment, Aunt Fang was not being polite anymore. She had just agreed on a time with the old lady when Shu Yu arrived.

“Grandmother, let’s go. To the county town.”

The old lady bid farewell to Aunt Fang, and the grandmother and granddaughter headed home feeling light and free.

There weren’t many people lingering outside the manor anymore. After all, so much time had passed, and people had to go home for meals and to take care of household chores.

Shu Yu was still carrying a basket of clothes, and the two of them intentionally took a less crowded path.

However, when they reached their home, the old lady discovered that the lock on the courtyard door was missing.

She immediately became nervous, “I definitely locked the door before I left.” Could she have forgotten due to her age?

The old lady turned to look at Shu Yu, “Could we have been burgled?”

Shu Yu chuckled, “No, who would dare to steal from us at this crucial time?”

It was as if she had thought of something, her eyes brightening, “Could it be… that my parents have come?”

The old lady was startled, and the two hurriedly pushed open the courtyard gate.

Indeed, as soon as they entered, they saw that the house was bustling. Sanya and Dahu rushed over together, “Grandmother, elder sister.”

“Elder sister, elder sister, they said you’ve become the Village Chief, that’s so amazing.”

Sanya hugged Shu Yu’s legs, her eyes sparkling.

She had already heard from Brother Zhao an explanation of what being a Village Chief meant. Although she didn’t fully understand, knowing that even the county magistrate had to treat her with great politeness was enough.

Shu Yu put the basket of clothes down and picked up Sanya, “Yes, from now on, you are the sister of the Village Chief.”

Sanya was stunned for a moment, the sister of the Village Chief?

Her eyes shone even brighter, her excited body trembling, “Then, then I’m also incredibly amazing, right?”
