Chapter 1347: Chapter 1347: Little Song Le Ran Away
Yuan Shanchuan frowned and reviewed it twice. Then, he was very sure that he had indeed seen these beads before.
"Uncle, beads, give them to me." Little Song Le saw him returning, but he kept his head down looking at his little beads and wouldnât return them, making him a bit anxious. He tiptoed to tug at his sleeve.
Yuan Shanchuan regained his composure, squatted down, and handed the beads to him, then smiled and asked, "Lele, where did you get these beads?"
Little Song Le hurriedly put the beads back into his pouch. He clearly hadnât forgotten to prepare a gift for Zaozao.
Thus, once he placed the precious beads back, he immediately began rummaging through the pouch.
However, upon hearing Yuan Shanchuanâs words, his actions paused. He lifted his head, blinked at him, and suddenly turned and ran away.
"Hey..." Yuan Shanchuan was taken by surprise and didnât have time to grab him, watching helplessly as he dashed straight into the living room.
The child seemed to treasure these beads but was unwilling to reveal anything about them.
Oh well, if he doesnât want to speak, then let it be.
But Quanquan, seeing Little Song Le run off, hurriedly followed him, "Wait for me."
When Little Song Le ran into the living room, the old lady saw him and quickly waved her hand, "Lele, donât run, there are many people here, be careful not to bump into anyone."
Little Song Le stopped, and Quanquan quickly caught up with him.
Quanquan looked puzzled, "Why did you run?"
He himself didnât know why he ran, only instinctively doing so when someone asked about the origins of the beads.
Because neither his uncle nor Aunt Yu advised him to show the beads to others or disclose their origin.
Although he didnât understand why, he knew his uncle and the others wouldnât harm him, so he listened.
Quanquan saw him in a daze and bumped him, "Lele?"
Little kids are forgetful. One moment theyâre asking questions, the next theyâre off talking about other things. "I saw a tree branch over there, it seemed quite awesome, shall we go play with it?"
"Yeah, yeah."
The two kids went out hand in hand.
Shu Yu happened to pass by and twitched the corner of her mouth, a tree branch... whatâs so great about it?
She shook her head and went inside to find the old lady.
The old lady pulled her to sit beside her and softly asked, "Finished talking with the village chief?"
"Yes."
This time itâs Zaozaoâs full month celebration. Though not a grand affair, Shangshi Villageâs village chief and two revered clan elders still came over.
Nowadays, the Lu familyâs life is getting better, and many people in the village are either working with Lu Erbai or in Shu Yuâs workshop. The village chief and elders all hope to strengthen their ties with them.
With the Lu family having a happy occasion, they would, of course, come to offer their congratulations.
Earlier, when Shu Yu arrived, Fan Zhong came to talk to her.
Shu Yu seldom comes back, and Fan Zhong indeed had many matters he wished to discuss with her, which led to a lengthy conversation that went on until now.
The old lady looked somewhat anxious, "What did he say to you? Did he ask for help? Let me tell you, Yu, if itâs a minor thing, we can manage. If not, you just decline, okay?"
Speaking of which, her voice lowered, almost whispering into Shu Yuâs ear, "Village Chief Fan, although not a wicked person, isnât exactly the paragon of kindness either. Donât grant him favors just because heâs the village chief, okay?"
Shu Yu saw the old ladyâs serious expression, as if fearing she might suffer losses, and immediately laughed, "Grandmother, donât worry, Village Chief Fan wasnât discussing anything difficult."
