The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 668: Chapter 668: The Children’s Car Made by Lu Erbai Chapter 668: Chapter 668: The Children’s Car Made by Lu Erbai Shu Yu raised her eyes and looked at the towering gates of the prefecture, exhaling a long breath.

“Do you think Mother and Father will be happy to see me?”

They had come today, yet no one knew that Shu Yu planned to give Lu Erbai and the others a surprise.

This was her second visit to Heichang County. The last time she passed through, she had nearly kept her head down the whole way and hadn’t really taken a good look at the place.

Since this area was close to the border, the walls of Heichang County were much taller than those of Jiangyuan County, but its economic development still couldn’t match that of Jiangyuan County, even though Jiangyuan County wasn’t a very wealthy place either.

Shu Yu sat on the shaft of the mule carriage, driving it as she followed behind Ma Lu’s mule carriage, looking around and muttering to herself.

Before long, the carriage stopped at the entrance to the county office.

Madam Hou and her daughter had to follow the officers here to complete the formalities and could only be temporarily left behind.

They got off the mule carriage and Shu Yu said, “You go ahead with your business, I’ll go see my parents first, then I’ll come back to take you to the courier station.”

Helping someone to the end was like sending Buddha to the west–anyway, she wasn’t in a hurry, and there was still some distance to the courier station.

Madam Hou hadn’t said anything when one of the officers, who had gotten down from Ma Lu’s mule carriage, happily spoke up, “Alright, Lady Lu, you go home and have a good chat with your parents. No rush, we’ll wait for you at the wonton stall over there once we’re done.”

With him saying this, Madam Hou’s originally intended refusal became hard to utter.

She smiled at Shu Yu and followed the officers into the Office.

Once they were gone, Ma Lu also cupped his hands to Shu Yu and took leave, “Lady Lu, we have to hurry to the prefecture, so we’ll be going ahead. See you later.”

“Safe travels.”

Ma Lu’s mule carriage quickly drove away, disappearing from sight, then the old lady said, “Our rented house is closer from here, let’s go home first.”

“Alright.” Following the direction the old lady pointed, Shu Yu quickly turned the carriage around and headed for the Lu family’s home.

The house rented by the Lu family was quite peaceful, and the surrounding environment wasn’t bad either. Although the courtyard was not large, it still had one more room than the one in Liufang Alley in Jiangyuan County.

The mule carriage stopped at the entrance of the Lu family’s house, and the old lady got down from the carriage, surprised to see the tightly locked courtyard doors, “It seems your father has also gone out.”

Shu Yu turned her head to lift Dahu and Sanya down from the carriage, and upon hearing this, she turned back, “Do you have the key?”

“I happen to have one.” The old lady fumbled in her pockets and took out the key.

Opening the door, Shu Yu’s gaze was immediately drawn to a children’s cart in the courtyard.

Was this the cart that her father had made? Although Shu Yu had provided the design for the children’s cart, she had yet to see the finished product.

It was with this cart that Lu Erbai had struck a deal with the largest carpentry shop in Heichang County.

However, the cart could only be used on flat ground–the roads in Righteous Dao Village were pitted and uneven, so Dahu and Sanya had not taken the cart there and had left it here in the small courtyard.

They obviously hadn’t had enough of it; upon seeing the cart, they immediately ran over with excitement.

Dahu stuffed Sanya into the cart and started pushing from behind, and the two of them began to circle around the courtyard.

“Second Sister, look, this is what Father made for us. It’s so much fun!” Sanya said, unable to contain her excitement. “I can’t drive that big mule, but I’m good with this little cart. Second Sister, come on, let me take you for a spin.”
