Chapter 1915: Farewell, Aunt He

Chapter 1915: Chapter 1915: Farewell, Aunt He

It was the neighbors who noticed their unusual attire and warmly approached, saying, “Knocking like that won’t work, you have to shout loudly.”

Before Shu Yu could thank them, the neighbor had already yelled loudly inside, “Sister-in-law He, quickly open the door, you have noble guests coming!”

The noise inside paused for a moment, and sure enough, someone quickly ran to open the door.

The door was opened by a young woman who didn’t know Shu Yu and asked them with surprise, “Who are you looking for?”

“Looking for Aunt He,” Shu Yu said with a smile.

The young woman looked puzzled, really puzzled about when her mother-in-law met such important people.

But she swiftly turned her head and called out, “Mother, someone is looking for you.”

Aunt He ran over with her hands wiping, “Coming, coming, who is it, I’m still…”

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Shu Yu standing at the door, and the cloth in her hands dropped to the ground with a ‘plop’. Her eyes widened instantly, “Lu, Lu…” Her mouth opened and closed but couldn’t utter a word for a while.

The young woman was shocked, “Mother, what’s wrong, who is this?”

Aunt He came to her senses quickly and slapped her thigh, “Oh dear, it really is a noble guest.”

She looked at the curious neighbors peeking outside and quickly said, “Girl, come inside, let’s talk inside.”

Shu Yu brought Lu Erbai through the door, and Aunt He was about to kneel after closing the yard door, “Paying, paying respects to the county magistrate.”

Everyone in the yard was stunned upon seeing this, and Shu Yu quickly helped her up, “Aunt He is well-informed, knew so soon that I’m the county magistrate.”

“The county magistrate didn’t know, the other day when you dealt with Chen Bing at Shili Lane, I just happened to be visiting relatives there and came out to see what was happening. At that time, seeing the county magistrate busy with official matters, I didn’t dare disturb. I didn’t expect, didn’t expect the county magistrate to come over.”

Speaking, Aunt He glanced at her dumbfounded family, and immediately felt embarrassed, “With guests, the house is a bit of a mess, county magistrate, please don’t mind.”

“It’s me coming suddenly that’s causing trouble.”

“No, no, no.” Aunt He waved her hand, gave a glance to the family members, who backed away one by one, observing Shu Yu as she entered the living room.

Then one by one, they curiously leaned against the door frame, watching the happenings inside.

Aunt He glared at them, thinking they really were no good, not right.

Luckily, a son and daughter-in-law had seen Shu Yu before, and upon receiving Aunt He’s gaze, immediately went to prepare tea and things, and at the same time kept the lively children running around in check.

Shu Yu ignored the stares outside; since they had guests, she quickly finished her business so they wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.

“Aunt He, I heard from Yun that your brother is a craftsman, and his workmanship is quite good. I came over mainly because I have a shop that needs repair work soon, and I wanted to ask for your brother’s opinion.”

Aunt He was surprised, nodding hurriedly, “Sure, sure, sure, my brother’s skills are very good. Everyone who has hired him says he is responsible, the county magistrate can leave it to him. Ah, right, he’s here today.”

After speaking, Aunt He raised her head to look outside, calling to her son, “Quickly, call your uncle over.”

Aunt He knew very well this was a job given by the county magistrate. If done well, his reputation would be established and her brother wouldn’t worry about no work in the future.

She never thought the county magistrate would bring such a good opportunity.
