The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 124: Zhang Shu Is Missing?

Shu Yu and Daya were in the house helping Madam Ruan cut the cloth. Madam Ruan’s movements were fast. She finished the templates according to Shu Yu’s drawings in less than two days.

The sample clothes were very nice, so Madam Ruan decided to start making ready-made clothes. The sooner she finished them, the sooner they could open the shop.

It was just that the few pieces of cloth that Shu Yu bought were too expensive, and there was even silk among them. Madam Ruan was afraid that she would tear the fabric and cause damage, so she washed her hands and applied the cream Shu Yu brought several times before doing anything.

She also asked the two sisters to help her to hold the cloth before cutting it. She was very careful.

Just then, Lu Sanzhu’s loud voice came from outside the door, “Yu, I’m back. Come out quickly. I have something to tell you.”

Mrs. Ruan’s hands trembled, and the scissors in her hands almost went to the wrong side.

Shu Yu’s eyes were sharp and her hands were fast. She quickly stabilized her hand and said, “Mom, it’s okay. Take your time.”

Madam Ruan let out a sigh. She really wanted to run out of the room and give Lu Sanzhu a good scolding.

To give them a quiet working environment, even the old lady had brought the twins out to gather firewood and pig grass. In contrast, to think Lu Sanzhu shouted as soon as he entered the door.

Shu Yu helped Madam Ruan finish cutting the cloth in her hand before putting down her hands and saying, “I’ll go out and take a look.”

“Go ahead.”

Shu Yu left the room, and Lu Sanzhu hurried to greet her.

He brought her to a corner of the courtyard wall. Without waiting for Shu Yu to speak, he said anxiously, “Yu, I can’t find Zhang Shu. He’s missing.”

“Missing?”

Lu Sanzhu nodded vigorously, “I went to Dayan Village early in the morning and found out from the Zhang family’s neighbor that Zhang Shu went to the county to work as a part-time worker at Lord Pu’s house. I immediately drove the mule carriage to the county and went to Lord Put s house to ask. In the end, what do you think happened? The servants of Lord Pu’s family said that a few days ago, they did find five or six people to help transport some goods to the manor, but the job had been completed a few days ago. The wages were also settled, so they dispersed everyone.”

Shu Yu frowned.

Lu Sanzhu gulped and continued, “By the way, the Pu family settled the wages on the day after you acknowledged us as your family. It has already been a few days, yet he has not returned home. I wondered if Zhang Shu has found another job. I asked around a few families who were hiring short-term workers, but there was no sign of Zhang Shu. Do you think something happened to him?”

Something happened? What could have happened?

She had even seen Zhang Shu when she went to the county that day.

Lu Sanzhu frowned and thought about it. However, his brain was not as smart as Shu Yu’s. He could not think of a reason even after racking his brain for a long time. He simply said, “But don’t worry. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely take care of it. Tomorrow, lend me your mule carriage for another day. I’ll ask around. I have a lot of friends in the county. I’ll have news of him soon. ”

Shu Yu just listened to his bragging and nodded to show that she understood, “Perfect, I’m going to the county tomorrow too. Let’s go together.”

“Alright.”

Shu Yu did not tell Daya and the rest of the family that they could not find Zhang Shu.

Early the next morning, she and Lu Sanzhu set off again for the county.

Lu Sanzhu drove the carriage to the clothing store on Ningshui Street. Shu Yu glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.

“You’ve been here before?”

When she rented this shop, she only brought Daniu and Daya here. Even the old lady and the others did not have time to come to the county these days.

Lu Sanzhu immediately lowered his head and looked around diffidently..
