Chapter 39: Viper-like Eyes
There is a problem. Meng Yu is too young. If he is right, the information shows that this child is from this town. But this Mr. Mu is from the capital?
"May I ask what is the relationship between the two of you?"
"She is my niece!" Mu Guanchu smiled and said, "Captain Zou, do you have anything else to ask?"
The head of the pavilion's eyes flickered for a moment, and he smiled and shook his head: "No, no, I'm just asking according to the routine!"
No one knew what kind of power was behind the wealthy businessman from the capital. Zou Xian was a smart man. As an ordinary clerk, there was no need to embarrass him. Besides, they were only here to keep records, and there was no conflict of interest with him.
When his name was written on the document of the head of the pavilion, Meng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and felt at ease. Everything was fine.
The boss took the silver note and gave the key to Meng Yu, and the shop became Meng Yu's.
Meng Yu put away the house deed and the land deed, and her eyes curved with joy: "Thank you, Uncle Mu!"
Mu Guanchu rubbed her little head and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
When he was so young, it seemed that he didn't own a shop on his own?
He was just beginning his enlightenment.
He turned around and asked Meng Yu: "You can read, who did you learn from?"
Meng Yu answered naturally: "With my mother!"
Mu Guanchu thought of that young lady. There was always some humility in her eyes. She didn't dare to look people in the eye. When he asked her questions, she would answer in a panic because of fear.
But unexpectedly, she could actually read.
How could a person like her who could do needlework, cook and read be such a coward?
Returning to Jixianglou, Meng Yu bowed to Mu Guanqing earnestly: "Uncle Mu, and my mother is the shopkeeper, Uncle Mu also has to help me!"
Mu Guanchu laughed: "Okay, I'll take care of it!"
Mu Yunjing was coming down from upstairs, curious: "What's the matter? Do you need my help?"
"What's the matter?" Mu Guanchu smiled and said, "You haven't gone to the private school yet?"
Mu Yunjing waved at Meng Yu and said, "I went and came back. Master Zhou is sorting out the internal affairs of the private school. The situation is not good, so I can't be there."
Meng Yu walked to his side, Mu Yunjing squatted down and whispered: "Do you still have that kind of ginseng?"
Meng Yu shook her head. It was just a coincidence. If there were more, wouldn't ginseng become cabbage?
Mu Yunjing was not disappointed either, and said with a smile: "Sell it to me next time you have it!"
"Okay!" Meng Yu agreed immediately.
Butcher Cao not only lost money but was unable to bring the woman he liked home. He even received a lot of contemptuous looks, and the villagers no longer looked at him the same way as before.
The loss and the gap made him sigh at home and he was not even motivated to sell meat.
Today is another day off for Cao Shuqing.
Cao Shuqing was not in a good mood either.
Including today, he has gone up the mountain nine times.
He pulled out almost all the weeds in that area, but there was still no trace of the ginseng.
And it seems that no one in the village has become rich overnight.
So, the ginseng should still exist. Does it mean that whoever it belongs to should own it, and Jiang Bo must go and dig it? Even if he knew in advance, he couldn't get it?
He was reborn and felt that he was a man with great luck.
He was originally full of confidence in his future, but he failed to find ginseng, the death of Zhao Susu, which he remembered vividly, and the incident of having multiple child brides in his family did not happen, which made him doubt all of this.
Seeing the dejected look on Butcher Cao's face, he asked him the reason and his brows immediately twisted into a knot.
He frowned, his face solemn: "Dad, do you think that Meng Yufan really caused chaos in the village with just a few words? She also knew that others stole cattle and killed people?"
"That's right! It's really weird. I don't know how a little girl like her knows so much! Besides, she's so small, but she's very good at talking."
Cao Shuqing's eyes suddenly narrowed, and there was a sinister and cold look in his eyes.
Could it be that Meng Yufan was also reborn?
Because she was reborn, her mother didn't die, and she was the one who dug up the ginseng? If that's the case, then it makes sense!
He stood up suddenly and strode out.
Butcher Cao called out from behind, "Son, where are you going?"
He followed and saw that Cao Shuqing had already walked a long way away.
He wondered: "Why is this kid so impetuous?"
Where could Cao Shuqing go? Of course he wanted to go and see what was going on.
Meng Yu has returned home.
After so many days, Zhao Susu also "recovered" naturally.
Today is the last time that Doctor Zhang comes to take my pulse, and as usual he comes with my mother, Mrs. Zhang.
The mother and daughter sent the mother and son out. Meng Yu asked worriedly, "Uncle Zhang, is my mother's injury healed? Will she need to take medicine in the future?"
"No need!" Doctor Zhang took out a bunch of money, about a few dozen pieces: "This is the remaining money for the medicine!"
"Uncle, thank you for your hard work. Have some tea!" Meng Yu didn't answer.
Zhao Susu also nodded repeatedly. Although her injury was fake, it was real that Doctor Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were responsible and enthusiastic.
Doctor Zhang smiled. He felt sorry for the mother and daughter's hard life, so he gave all the remaining money to them. This way, he was just seeing patients and running errands for free.
So he felt comfortable taking the money.
After the mother and daughter saw Doctor Zhang and his son off, Meng Yu immediately said to Zhao Susu, "Mom, go and have some rest. Uncle Zhang said you need to rest more!"
Zhao Susu smiled and nodded. It was the same when she was doing needlework in the house.
After her mother entered the house, Meng Yu slowly returned to the yard. The little loach was at her feet with its tail raised.
Meng Yu lowered his head and played with mud, looking very focused.
In fact, her mind was not on the mud at all. Somehow, she always felt as if there was a pair of eyes behind her. Those eyes were eerie, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
This feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.
When the wind blew, the gate of the courtyard creaked.
Meng Yu pouted: "The door is open again, so annoying!" He reluctantly threw down the mud ball, covered his hands with mud, and ran to close the gate.
The gate was a little too high for her height, so she stood on tiptoe and hopped back and forth.
The fourth time she jumped up and tried to bolt the gate, she saw a pair of eyes.
Those eyes were outside the yard, with scrutiny, oppression, sinisterness and observation.
Meng Yu screamed and fell to the ground, landing on his butt.
She frowned and glared at the person who came. She was very unhappy and said angrily: "Why are you standing there? You scared me!"
Cao Shuqing had been observing her for quite some time. He had been there watching her from afar since the Zhang mother and son entered the house.
He saw Zhao Susu's pale face and weak look.
Seeing Meng Yu talking to Doctor Zhang, he looked like a little adult...
Sure enough, his speech was much more fluent than before, his words were more continuous and his sentences were longer.
She knew how to say thank you and give Doctor Zhang a bribe. Could a three-year-old really understand this kind of interpersonal relationship? So, she was really reborn?
