The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1912: Chapter 1912: Looking for Zhou Tiedong

This is Shu Yu’s second visit to Tuqiao Village; last time she only stopped at the village entrance.

This time, she stopped again at the village entrance. Ying Xi went over to ask for directions, and the women chatting there suddenly recognized the familiar carriage, were startled, and hurriedly ran over to inquire.

”Is it, is it the county magistrate?”

The woman was so excited that she stuttered. Seeing this, Shu Yu guessed that the matter of Zhou Tiedong had already spread throughout Tuqiao Village.

She smiled and nodded to the woman, ”Yes, it is me.”

”Oh my, it’s an honor to have you here, county magistrate. We’ve heard all about what you’ve done. That young guy Dongzi is really indebted to you! You are truly a good person, with a heart of gold, a fairy descending to earth...”

The more the woman spoke, the more exaggerated she became, and her voice was so loud that villagers standing farther away started moving towards them.

Although Shu Yu enjoyed the praise, she still had serious matters to attend to.

So she quickly interrupted the woman, ”Auntie, could you please point us in the direction of the Zhou family? I have business to attend to with Zhou Tiedong.”

”Eh? Alright, alright, I’ll take the county magistrate over, this way.” After speaking, the woman ran ahead and called, pointing forward, ”This way.”

Shu Yu, ”...”

Ying Xi quickly pulled the reins to follow. Inside the carriage, Lu Erbai commented with emotion, ”The atmosphere in this village is nice. You saved Zhou Tiedong, so everyone in the village is happy, grateful to you, and praising you.”

Dabao, ”Isn’t that so? That person almost exaggerated Sister Yu to the point she could hardly walk. Truly skilled in flattery.”

Shu Yu gave him a flick on the forehead, ”In what way do I not deserve it?”

”Deserving, absolutely deserving.” Dabao, having perfectly inherited his father’s opportunistic skills, immediately put on a smile and fawned on Shu Yu by giving her a shoulder massage.

Shu Yu snorted lightly, and before long, the carriage came to a stop.

The woman leading the way was already shouting inside, ”Sister-in-law Zhou, Sister-in-law Zhou come out, the county magistrate is here, your great benefactor is here.”

As Shu Yu got off the carriage, Mother Zhou also rushed out of the yard.

She thought she misheard, but seeing Shu Yu standing outside the door confirmed it. Shocked, she instinctively wanted to kneel, ”County magistrate.”

”Get up, get up. I’m here to see Zhou Tiedong.”

Mother Zhou quickly stepped aside to welcome her in, ”County magistrate, please come in. Dongzi is inside; I’ll go call him to pay his respects to the county magistrate.”

”He is still recovering, no need to make him get up. We can talk inside just the same.” After all, with so many people, it doesn’t matter.

Mother Zhou nodded repeatedly, ”Yes, county magistrate, please come inside.”

Zhou Tiedong inside had already heard the commotion and was about to get out of bed when Lu Erbai stepped forward and pressed him back down, ”Stay lying down. Our Yu doesn’t care about these things.”

”Thank you, county magistrate.”

Mother Zhou went to pour tea for Shu Yu and the others. Father Zhou seemed to be absent, probably out busy.

Shu Yu asked about Zhou Tiedong’s injuries. He was much better now. Earlier in the prefecture, Meng Yunzheng had helped to find a doctor with the best medical skills in the prefecture, and the prescribed medicine was very effective.

As long as he rested well and took his medication on time after returning, there wouldn’t be any major issues.

However, in the past few days, many friends and family learned he was fine and came to visit. With such goodwill, the Zhou family couldn’t rightly turn people away, though most of them stayed outside while talking.
