The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1501: Chapter 1501: Meng Pei Is a High-Quality Man

The silence was now between the old lady and Zhou Qiao, ”...”

What was said seemed quite reasonable.

Xiang had endured through the toughest times for so many years, without relying on anyone. If she didn’t need anyone then, she certainly doesn’t need anyone now. If she doesn’t need to rely on someone, why marry? She’d just end up serving someone else’s family, isn’t that just asking for trouble?

Zhou Qiao sighed, ”Indeed, unless Mrs. Xiang finds someone without family burdens, who is capable and knows how to cherish her. But this, this is basically impossible.”

Oh, not quite, they actually did know someone like that.

That Meng Yunzheng’s father, Meng Pei, was such a person; cheerful personality, humorous, of appropriate age, with a clever and promising son, and no messy relationships.

But the problem is, such men are also devoted to their feelings; he was wholeheartedly in love with Yunzheng’s mother.

So, finding someone who meets all criteria for Mrs. Xiang is harder than Fu Xiangdi finding a live-in son-in-law.

The old lady also sighed, ”Otherwise, find someone without parents, so after marrying Xiangdi, he can bring Xiang to live with and care for her.”

Shu Yu twitched her lips, how could it be that easy? Even if the other person has no parents, he must still have a good character and a mutual attraction with Xiangdi, it seems she really couldn’t help with this.

Shu Yu shook her head and continued to entertain Little Zaozao.

Conversely, the old lady and Zhou Qiao took the matter to heart, as they earnestly discussed potential candidates.

Shu Yu smiled and returned to the county town along the way.

Zhou Qiao settled in the Lu family’s residence. Little Zaozao evidently did not remember staying with the Lu family for a while; she just found the environment around her very unfamiliar and was so excited to see the goldfish in the backyard pond, she wanted to plunge into the water.

But the Lu family’s house was large, with many people, giving the child enough novelty just exploring one place a day.

Zhou Qiao felt assured. That night, she let the child get used to the days without her mother nearby, having her sleep together with the wet nurse.

Little Zaozao slept well, and the next morning, after just a glance at her, she was off to get attracted by something else.

Zhou Qiao felt a pang of heartache, then set off for Shangshi Village.

Shu Yu left even earlier than her; she needed to go to Donggu County, to seize this opportunity to poach Wei Ronghua the shopkeeper.

However, before that, she had to see for herself whether this person was suitable; she couldn’t just rely on Old Master Miao’s letter alone.

Even though Donggu County wasn’t very far from Jiangyuan County, the two county towns were adjacent.

However, the roads of these times were hard to travel on, Shu Yu and Ying Xi sped along on horseback, reaching Donggu County town around noon.

Instead of seeking out Wei Ronghua immediately, Shu Yu found an inn to have lunch first, then headed to the Wu Family with some gifts.

Though she had dealt with the Wu Family before, she had never visited them. Last time when discussing buying alfalfa, she had visited the Wu Family’s ranch, located on the outskirts of the town, quite some distance away.

Now that she was in Donggu County, and since the Eldest Young Master of the Wu Family specially went to the workshop to relay the news yesterday, it was only proper for her to visit them to show her gratitude.

Shu Yu’s visit was sudden, she initially thought the Eldest Young Master of the Wu Family might not be home, but as soon as she reached the Wu Family’s entrance, she ran into him.

Wu Fengyuan hadn’t expected to see Shu Yu here either; when he saw her getting off the carriage and hailing him, he was momentarily stunned and almost couldn’t recognize her.
