Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Wang Changdong’s Attitude Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Wang Changdong’s Attitude Wang Changdong did not continue to inquire, for some things were not for him to know.

He just needed to know that Mister Qi had once been a high official in the Capital.

Moreover, Wang Changdong had discerned another implication from Shu Yu’s words.

He shifted his gaze, recalling Lady Lu’s saying that one should repay kindness, yet today’s reward from the governor to Shu Yu was due to her capturing the tiger.

That meant Mister Qi’s repayment had not yet had a chance to occur, right?

Wang Changdong understood then that a debt of gratitude remained, and they would surely interact more in the future.

Suddenly, he viewed Shu Yu differently, this young lady’s future was boundlessly promising.

With that thought, his expression grew even kinder, “I see, it was good deeds that brought good fortune, right? Thus, being kind-hearted matters, or one will face retribution. Just like with Master Lan previously, who committed so many evils and is now locked up in the prison.”

Shu Yu turned her head, “Master Lan has been imprisoned?”

“Exactly, he had several lives on his conscience, truly deserving death.”

Shu Yu pondered, feeling that Master Lan’s fate was inevitably tied to Meng Yunzheng.

Yet, an evil man meeting his doom was indeed well-deserved.

Looking toward Wang Changdong, who shared her animosity, she smiled and said, “Yes, he harmed so many people, all his just deserts.”

They discussed Master Lan’s case briefly before Shu Yu mentioned, “It seems quite noisy outside, probably people from the wasteland have returned. Bailiff, since we are short-staffed here in the Manor, perhaps I could start helping out today?”

A few helping the governor transport the tiger to the prefecture had gone, likely only returning tomorrow.

Wang Changdong quickly responded, “No need, you’ve already tired yourself out by taking down the tiger today, how could I let you do more? You should go home, your family must be worried for you.”

Shu Yu had planned just so and promptly agreed.

“Then, I’ll trouble you for your hard work, Bailiff.”

“Hahaha, it’s all in our duty. You go home and rest for a couple of days, then come back the day after for work. Your tasks aren’t light, you’re literate and knowledgeable, able people do more work, and you will occasionally need to follow on purchases to the county town.”

Shu Yu’s eyes sparkled slightly, Wang Changdong was deliberately giving her a chance to go to the county town to see her parents.

She accepted this kindness.

Shu Yu nodded, “Then I shall take my leave.”

It had grown slightly dark as Shu Yu walked out of the backyard, and standing at the corner, Aunt Hou and Sixth Young Lady hurried over.

“What happened? Did the Bailiff keep you back for something?”

Shu Yu shook her head, “Nothing, let’s go, we should head back. Grandmother is probably anxious.”

Aunt Hou nodded repeatedly, and the three didn’t head for the front courtyard but informed Wang Changdong and left through the back.

At that moment, the front courtyard was filled with people returning from the wasteland, including female members of the Shu family.

The Shu family members were somewhat distracted, especially since Aunt Hou had been called away by the governor and had not returned, and they did not know her whereabouts.

They wanted to inquire but didn’t know from whom, only hearing that the governor had already left Righteous Dao Village.

Only when the Shu family members carried the distributed grain home did they discover all the Shu family men had arrived.

Overjoyed, they disregarded Aunt Hou and her daughter, gathering around their loved ones, crying and sharing their hardships.
